of Lord Salisbury, as something be-
yord mere act of courtesy. 1t says
that the emperor, accompanied by
German statesmen, has met the chief
English statesmen, and that both
countries are convinced that the
conference at Hatfield house sealed the
assurance of friendship. The lei
tuns concludes by contrasting the cold
ness of the Russians with the warmth
of the English reception. The enthusi-
astic reception given to the emperor
in England, it says, proves that 1t was
spontaneous and was not evoked by
the commands of the government aid
shows that the interest and inclination
of England and Germany go together.
