Erocial TO THE MORNING CALL


NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Smalley's special
caolegram 10 the Tribune from London
says: The impulses of prudence which the
more sober minds of France began to act
on last week are stronger still now that the
French fleet and the French Admiral have
definitely disappeared from Russia. The
farls mob is as hot-headed and Chauvlnist
as ever. Counsels of prudence are not ad-
dressed to Paris mob or they are vainly
addressed. A mob lay in wait for Russia's
drand Duke Alexis both at Paris and at
slchy. They wanted to send him deputa-
tons and addresses, to swear eternal friend
ship and convert him to the doctrine of fra
ternlty. A good deal of cold water has
been thrown Oh this burning zeal. The
French themselves have begun to ridicule
the fussian frenzy of such patriots as Paul
Derouiede and Paul Cassagnac. The two
Pauis are about equally laughed at
No further Information about the Franco
Russian alliance has seen the light this
Week, or none to which much Importance
can be attached. Berlin opinion is again
sceptical. as it was at first, and in England
there is no opinion at ALL Two last touches
have been put to the picture of the Franco
Russian festiyity which the word has so
long been gazing on. Admiral Gervais, we
are told, shed tears of joy at Moscow, and
the Gar is shedding tears of veXatiOn over

1t is now admitted that the Turkish En-
Dassador's sudden return to London was
In obedience to orders from the Sultan to
resume negotiations for the evacuation of
Egypt Rusten Pasha did see Lord Sails
bury and did open the subject. He was
met by the English foreign minister in the
spirit which has SO often governed an

lent applications. The moment, said Lord
Salisbury, was not OppOrtune; his COL
leagues were away; a long time had elapsed
since the matter had been discussed; and

his Cabinet; it was therefore to stand over
until October Growls may be heard from
Paris, whence this new intrigue took 1t,
rise, but the gfowls do not deter Sails
bury from spending his vacation in the
country of GROWERS French diplomacy is
bafffed for the present and that ingenious
scheme for pntting French puppet in the
place OF the khediye has ended and so the
squeezing OF England out of Egypt has to
be deferred for little while.
The semi-official denialS touching the
German Emperor's accident have now been
followed, as usual, by semi-official assur-
nnces that, though there was an accident it
was not serious. 1t is at any rate serious
enough to require him to take fresh pre-
cautions. lie has been in the surgeons
hands for fortnight and is still there The
injuries Will not probably be permanent
Meanwhile this great poteutate has sent
his blessing to Sir Augustus Harris. with
congratulations on his knighthood. There
seems to be nobody on the Emperor's staff
who understands tine relativity OF things in
England. A curious story has been current
lately that the Emperor really Quilted this
country in di>contented mood. He had
hoped to conclude hard and last alliance
with England. Salisbury had to explain to
his guest at Hatfield that un der the English
constitution what he wished done was i'm
possible. The Emperor, like Napoleon,
thought that the English constitution should
give way to his imperial wishes. but did not
induce Lord Salisbury to undertake that
experiment. II is as good story as another.
The young King of SerVia, having con-
cluded his visit to the Gar, has paid another
to the Austrian Emperor at Ischl. If his
reception by the Car was not fervent. his
interview with Francis Joseph took the form
OF friendly but firm lecture. He is but a
UOy, puL QuleJ UIu enough 10 understand
that the very existence of his dynasty and
bis country depends on the House of Haps-
burg-Lorraine. Austria asks little of Servia
except that she shall not throw herself into
the arms Of Russia. That little she insists
on; and so this young man was plainly told.
1t is astonishing how many reasons Par
nelPs opponents find for abandoning him.
The English Nonconformists turned on
him because the divorce court found him
guilty. Archbishop Croke deserted him on
a mixture of political and moral grounds.
Young Dwyer- Gray forsooK him because h.
had married Mrs. 0'Shea. Now Dillon says
he is forced not to recognize Parnell be-
cause he cannot sacrifice the evictpd tenants
OF Ireland. Dillon and UBrien both spoke
at Malow on Sunday, the fayorite day with
Parnellites. alike for practice and for
orat0ry. They made between them dozen
or more speeches, and said some remarkable
things. Dillon declared that "Parnell wishes
us TO adopt an Independent opposition to
poor Mr.. Gladstone" What has Gladstone
done that he should be patronlzed and pitied
by Dillon?
The troubles of the Salvation Army at
Eastoourne are not over. They are, per-
haps, but beginning. The Magistrates of
that prosperous watering place stubbornly
refuse to consent that its prosperity shall be
ruined by Sunday brass bands and all the
noise which follows in the wakeof the Sal
walton Army. Prosecutions proceed Mean
time General Booths cohorts have thought it
prudent to take their wind instruments to

What has been said of Lowell in England
since his death has been we'll said. The
press Is friendly in spirit and appreciative.
II not always sympathetic. The grief of
his trends is not expressed nor to be eX-
pressed in print. 1t must saflice to say that
this American was beloved in England more
widely than any other American of his
time, Loved truly and tenderly by many
persons OF many stations in English life.
The message from the Queen is tribute
seldom paid to a private citizen of another
country. The Queen never made any secret
of her liking for Lowell. He was her
guest Mt Windsor more often than most
of his colleagues. When he left the Queen
said that no Embassador lad ever excited
more interest or won more general regard
In England. She knew verv well that ne
was not an ambassador, but speaking of him
to a third person after he had taken leave of
her, she gave him the distinction which
Congress withheld from him and from his
eminent successor, and still withhOldS. The
message from Lord Tennys0n is the crown
ing proof of many that. in that world of
letters where Lord Tennyson reigns,
Lowelps place is recognized just as fully
here as at home. he has seen the inside of
more country houses in England than any
American who ever lived. He always came
out alive and In grand order. There is not
one in which he has not let fall some good
American seed. He was for every season of
his ministerial term sort of social lion.
Familiarity did not dim the brilliancy of his
presence.
