discreet Wagging.

LONDON, July 10.-The emperor, after
banQueting with the Duke of Cam
bridge at Gloucester house, finished the
day at the state ball at Buckingham
palace. The Duke of Cambridge's din
ner was largely military and naval
affair. Everybody was in the uniform
of some branch of the government serv-
ice excepting Lord Salisbury, W. II.
Smith and other ministers, who were in
court dress. The emperor. in a short
speech, made franker reference to the
hopes of the alliance in England aris-
ing from his cordial public welcome in
this city than probably Lord Salisbury
liked to hear. Only an echo of
the imperial words has yet reached
outside the official circle pres
ent, yet the words. in some form, will
soon find an outlet. There are increas-
ing fears that the emperor intends that
the political results OF his visit shall be
OF mOmentOu5 consequence.
After the conclusion of the public
function tomorrow at Wimbledon, the
emperor will proceed to Lord Sails
burh's seat, Hatfield house, attended
by Ministers Won Bieberstein and Luz
canus, Gen. Won Hahnke and Sir E.
Malet, the British ambassador to Ger
many. At Hatfield house the pro-
longed, almost daily conferences be-
tween the English premier and the en-
perOr's foreign secretary will close with
a conference at which the emperor will
be present. 1t will be impossible to
persuade the French and Russian gov
ernmentS that all this means anything
but the practical absorption or England
III the Central European alliance. Radi-
cal members of the house of commons
renewed their attempt tonight to try
to find out how iar the English govern
ment Is committed. Sir James Fergus
son was asked whether the arbitration
with France with reference to New
toundland was progressing, and Sir
James was Obliged 10 deprecare dis
cussiOn on the subject and to decline
information. Phillip StanhOpe de-
manded definite declarations in regard
to the attitude of the government to-
ward the dreibund. but got none.
Other sound Radicals denounced the
open utilization Of the government with
the emperor's policy as giving France
just cause of OtfenSe. The ministerial
responses were purpoSelY empty of all
meaning. Mr.. StanhOpe'S suggestion,
that the government invite Presi-
dent Carnot to England, obtained the
bald reply from Mr.. Smith that the
government could not send such an
invitation, but that it would always be
glad to see the head of the French or
any other friendly nation. 1t was an in
sincere response, Mr.. Smith knowing
that only the last necessities of the
state would make the queen willing. or
the court consent, to receive President
CarnOt.
An incident connected with the So
journ of the Duchess of Aosta here
illustrates the nature of the sentiments
between the CHIEFS OF the dreibund ana
French personages. The duchess and
Prince Victor Napoleon were staying
at the residence of eX-Empress Eugene,
at Marlborough. King HumDert having
ordered the duchess TO appear at the
imperial receptions in London, Eugene
protested that the duchess could not
continue to be her guest if she figured
at the kaiser fetes. The duchess was,
thereupOn, ordered to install herself at
the Italian embassy, where she is now
guest. and Prince Victor took his sum-
mary departure from England.
