letter to the Tribune says: It is now finally
decided that tho forthcoming royal mar
rage shall take place at st. Georges
| Chapel, Windsor, in a selni-state. and
that the Emperor of Germany will be
present. He has taken the greatest inter-
est i'll the affair from the beginning, and
i'll practical way did as much as anyone
to smooth the difficulties which lay in the
path of the young couple.
Last week / referred to the Emperor's
sudden and not very dignified anxiety to
concillate France, as having arisen out
OF his distrust of Russia and Austria, and
this is undoubtedly the correct view
of his policy, but he has experienced
repulse.
The Emperor, after less than year of
pleasant government, has only succeeded
in thoroughly isolating Germany, while
at home he has disturbed all classes by
| his vageries.
While his long suffering mother has
been at work in pacification at Paris, the

persistently called him, has been in

ladies' OF the Corps Diplomatique, whom
he entertains while taking tea with
long winded speeches on modern
chlvalry. Madame Herbette was one of
the first he thus honored, but her salts
faction at the distinction is somewhat
diminished by the outcry that has sud-
denly been raised in France for the recall
of her husband.
| The inevitable triumph of Parnell is
causing much searching of heart among
the Liberals. 1t is beginning to be darlSly
whispered that Gladstone's action was
hasty and his letter imprudent, and, in
! fact, II the party could hark back to the
eve of the verdict in the divorce suit they
would leave the member for Cork alone.
| The suggestion that home rule will be
dropped is regarded as impossible. It's
| effect would be to drive the Irish vote in
England over to the Conservatives, and
| make the Liberals certain of losing the
next general election. 1t is not surpris-
ing that in these circumstances sugges-

after all, be made with Parnell. If Glad

going to carry the Irish people with him,

ing an alliance with the gentlemen whom
two months ago he ordered about their
business.
The anti-Parnellites are becoming
faint-hearted. They are finding out that
Ireland is going with Parnell, and some-
thing like panic reigns in the party.
| With one exception, all the gentlemen
named for the American mission have
declined.
| If Sir Charles Dixie stands for the For
est Of Dean he will have the tacit support
OF the heads of the county. The general
opinion on both sides is that he has been
sufficiently punished, and that fanatical
clique, of which Stead is chief, is pursuing
him with vindictive fury. Sir Charles
cannot, of course, re-enter official life,
but he might make useful member of
Parliament. he stands for the Forest
of Dean he will have to face Stead's de-
nunciations in the press and on the plat
form. The miners, however, of Forest
are willing to have Sir Charles as their
member, and if Stead appears there with
a divorce court reminiscence he will have
a rude reception.
