A woMAN's COMMON SENSE.

Inc queen listened to oil the Em-
peror said and replied: GAS long rs I
live firmly hope that peace will be
maintained. Lam now old, but still l
feel that my last years shall not be
saddencd by more bloodshed in Europe.
The responsibility that rests upon you
is terrible one. 1t would, in my
opinion, be criminal for any sovereign
or statesman to attempt to precipitate
events. In any case, what you have
said causes me the greatest uncasincss. +"
The conversation ended, the Queen
that very evening sent for Lord Sails
bury and informed him OF this strange
conversation, and desired him to talk
with the Emperor about it.
WHAT LORD SALISBURY FEARED.
~ am afraid that would only make
things worse, Your Majesty" replied
Lord Salisbury. 'for think if I at
tempted to discuss the question the
Emperor might cut matters short by
taking me by the shoulders and pushing
me out OF the window. Besides, it
might excite His Majesty to do exactly
the contrary to what might suggest.
BETTER WRITE TO TIE CzAR.
NO." continued Lord Salisbury,
"there is in my opinion only one thing
to do-write an autograph letter to the
Czar telling him frankly what has oc-
Cured and urging him, in the interests
Of the peace OF Europe, to lose no time
IN making q friendly advance towards
France in order to convince Emperor
William that Russia would not consent
to see Franco wantonly attacked. This
would cause the Emperor to reflect, and
in my opinion this is the most effective
way OF preserving the peace.
ENGLAND ALSO TO JOIN ~.
at would be well," continued Lord
Salisbury, "ii England should also
simultaneously make an advance toward
France"
Tho Queen at once followed Lord Sal
isbury's advice. A confidential envoy
was forthwith intrusted with the
Queens autograph letter to the Car.
The Car fully appreciated the critical
situation. The French fleet was then
in Sweden. The Gar Immediately sent
an invitation for it to come to Cron-
stadt The Queen at the same time in
vited the French fleet to visit Ports
mouth. The rest is already a matter OF
history.
The above facts reach me from such
pcrsonages and in such manner as to
inspire the utmost confidence. I am
not at liberty to disclose the sources OF
my information, but were to do so they
would carry with them the greatest
weight in London as well as in Berlin.
With this comment l send you the
above bit OF history for what it is
worth.

A WOMAN'S SENSE

Would Have Been One of tho Blood
lest Wars IN History Is ApGrtc1.
But tho Story Sounds Flshy.

BERLIN, Oct. 4.-The Now York Herald
correspondent telcgraphs the following
to his paper: l have now authority to
say that had 1t not been for tho excel
lent woman's common sense OF Queen
Victoria and the sound judgment Of the
Gar, who, in the moment OF emergency
acted in perfect accord, Europe perhaps
at this very moment be in the throcs Of
war.
Tho facts are these: Last summer
when the Emperor William was ut
Osborne, he one evening asked the
Queen to accord him confidential con-
versation upon matter OF the utmost
importance. Tho request was accorded,
and the Emperor said in substance;
81 have something OH my mind. l
seek your counsel. The situation in
Germany Is intolerable. 1t cannot last
twelve months longer. The country
cannot bear the present financial strain
required to keep up itspresent fighting
strength.
Socialism is daily assuming more
terrible proportions. Gcrmany's allies,
especially Italy, are no longer able to
keep up the present pace. The strain
is too great on them. France, OH the
contrary, is becoming stronger and
stronger. but France is isolated. 1t is
absolutely necessary that Germany
should seize the first occasion to declare
war upon her. The latest moment to
which this can possibly be put oris the
spring OF 1892"
