NOT A MERE CHANCE.
The Kaiser's Visit Arranged for Political
Purposes.

Purposes.
New YORK, July 1l.-Smalley's special
cablegram to the Tribune from London
says: Probably the most important Incl
dent of the German Empei or's visit to En-
gland is that which begins tomorrow and
ends Monday, his visit to Lord Salisbury at
Hatfield. Then, II not before, it is certain
TIN. business will be done. The absolute
master of the most powerful army in the
world and the virtual master of the most
powerful fleet will not meet and separate
without exchanging views on several SUBJ
jeets.
One subject interesting to both is the
use which each shall make of the fleet or
army. What has gone before did not pre-
pare the way for this interview and this dis
cussion. Certainly it is not mere chance
that brings the Emperor here at this mo-
ment jast after his alliance with Austria
and Italy has been made public. No more
is it by chance that the Emperor of Aus
tria and the King of Italy have been visit
Ing the English fleet and tOasting the
English Queen. while their great ally was
visiting England itself as her Queens guest,
and to no slight degree the guest also of the
English people. Were he merely, like the
Queen, the reigning monarch over a country
where Parliament governs, his visit to
England would mean much less, though it
would mean much, and his visit to Hatfield
might mean next to nothing. Being King,
and the Emperor over forty millions Of val
liant and sober minded Germans, it is incon-
ceivable that he should not exchange views
with Sails bury on the relations of the two
powers, and most improbable that the good
understanding certainly existing between
them should not be strengthened. OF course
nobody knows what has passed between
them.
THE LASTING PEACE OF EUROPE.
Peace, the lasting peace of Europe, Is
more likely because of their meeting So
is it, in measure, because of the Emperor's
speech at GulldhalL There is In his peace
assurances a ring of sincerity. Here in
England, whatever may be thought abroad,
the people do feel that peace is more as
sured than it was. In Russia and France
neither his Guildhall speech nor any utter
ance OF his is likely to be we'll received
There comes already from st. Petersburg an
omlnous whisper that the Emperors mag
nificent reception in England has given um-
bragg to the Gar. In France everybody
knows what feeling there is, whether whis-
pered or shouted. The Emperor has spoken
publicly, and far more often privately, of
MS ueliSut III tDe welcome given nlm, and
OF his fresh appreciation Of what is most
Characteristic and most splendid in English
life. What has happened off Venice makes,
like recent event at Fume, strong in,-
preston abroad, probably stronger than
in England. Here people think it pos
sible Tor emperOrs and kings to 60 on
board British ship from motives Of curios-
ty or civility without deep Interior designs,
Not SO on the Continent and when two such
incidents occur in quick succession the sig
nificance of them seems all the greater
while the German Emperor is the guest of
the Queen of England. Bear in mind, saws
Berlin paper, the character of the pre-
arranged demonstrations which remove the
last vestige of doubt respecting EDgland's
attitude toward the Triple Alliance. They
are meant to show openly the intimacy of
the Anglo-Italan relations. Perhaps they
are. Whether they are or not they have
that effect in France.
The Carlow election. with its tremendous
-Parnellite majority, is great blow to
Parnell and great triumph for his enc
