LONDON, July 10.-The Emperor, after
banqueting with the Duke of Cambridge at
Gloucester House, finished the day at a
state ball at Buckingham Palace. The din
ner was largely military and naval affair."
The Emperor, in short speech, made a
palmer reference to the hopes of an alliance
with England, arising from his cordial pub
lie welcome in this city, than probably Lord
Salisbury liked to hear. Only an echo of
the imperial words has yet reached out
side of the official circle present. yet the
words. in some form. will soon fad an out
let There are increased fears that the EN-
peror intends that the political results of
his visit shall be of momentous conse-
quence.
After the conclusion of the public func-
ton tomorrow at Wimbledon, the Emperor
will proceed to Lord SaliSbury's seat, Hat
field House. There the prolonged. almost
daily conferences between the English
Premier and the Emperor's Foreign Secre-
tary will close with conference at which
the Emperor Will be present. 1t will be im-
possible to persuade the French and Rus
sian Governments that all this means any
thing but practical ABSORPTION of England
into the Central European Alliance.
Radical members of the Commons re-
newed the attempt tonight to try to find

and TO decline the Information
Phillip Stanhnpe demanded definite de-
clardtlons in regard to the attitude of the
Government toward the Dreibund, but got
none. Other sound Radicals announced
that open affiliation of the Government with
tile Emperors policy was giving France a
just cause of offense.
The Ministerial responses were purposely
empty of all meaning. MIR. Stanhope's sug-
gestlon that the Government invite Presi-
dent Carnot TO ENGLAND drew forth the re-
ply from Mr.. Smith that the Government
could not send such instructions. but it
would always be glad to see the head of the
French or any other friendly nation. 1t
was an insincere response. Smith knowing
that only the last necessities of the state
would make the Queen willing or the court
consent to receive President Carnot.
The report that Minister and Mrs. Lincoln
and the United States legation were absent
from yesterdays garden party is inaccurate.
They have been present at every important
function.
THE NEW CATTLE BILL.
Scared by the formidable character of the
opposition to the Cattle Bill, Mr.. Chaplin,
President of the Board of Agriculture has
fallen back upon the rights of the board TO
issue series OF restrictive regulations. Not
being quite sure about the extent of his
rights he has invited the ship-owrers to a
conference on the subject on Tuesday next
The ship-Owners will send delegates ad-
vised to tell MIR. Chaplin it will bs best to
leave the trade alone or simply to make the
British harmoniZe with the American resu-
latiOls,
