NEW YORK, July 27.-The Herald Paris

Jacques St Cere, Figaro's brilliant foreign
editor, Friday afternoon, hearing him talk
OF the visit OF the German Emperor to Eng
land Many of the incidents he related to

by this" he replied, ''that the visit
gave pleasure neither to the English peo-
pie nor to the court. The Prince of Wales
spoke TO many persons Of the Kaiser as a
selt-lnvited guest Here is an incid ent
which shows the feelings of Wales
towards the Emperor. Lassalle, the French
baritone. went to the prince to tell him
shat he could not sing at the gala perform
ance at Covent Garden. You are quite
right; don't sing was the princes reply.
Then at the banquet of Guildhail, when
William was beginning to speak, there was
some disorder aud the Kaiser was evidently
very much vexed. He frowned and his
face showed his anger. The Prince OF
Wales, on the contrary, laughed, and there
was not the slightest doubt that he was
over1oyed to see mis- nephew maze uncom-
Portable. During the Wimbledon review
several English princes present passed the
remark that the Kaiser was making him
sell ridiculous. That was my Impressions
also, confirmed by several officers to whom

Politically the visit was futile. II had
no political result whatsoever. As proof

that he would like to pay another visit 10

looking at him for two minutes. If tO-mor4
row there were a frontier incident wa
should not find the calmness that was
shown by William the First at the time OF
the Schnaebele incident. Persons who
know the Kaiser well, who are in constant
communication with him, his friends, have
told me that during the visit of Empress
Frederick to Paris the Kaiser gave and
signed orders for mobilization, and that il
was ouly because the military staff delayed
sending the orders for one day that war was
not begun. During the night came a tele-
gram from Queen Victoria, begging Vii
liam not TO take umtrage at what was NOS

same time arrived dispatch from the Vi

orders for mobilization, stating the Paris
incident was not cdltsus beili. In conse-
qUence OF these kilograms, the Kaiser an
nulIed the fortunately delayed orders. VII
liam's idea OF peace is that he should have
it by everyone bowling to his wishes. He
sincerely desires peace, but only on that
condition
The report of the attack OF epilepsy was
entirely unfounded. l had plenty of oppor-

Never once did he take the glove OF his

where he ate nothing, while the rest OF the
company did Justice 10 the good things
His hand is contracted visibly, and you can
see the left arm is smaller and thinner than
the right There can be only feshless
bone which has not grown with the rest of
the man. He IS not considerate Of others

banquet offered by little girl.
he Offended the guests at the
state ball at Buckingham palace by falling
fast asleep in his chair. His friends regard
him with absolute veneration and describe
him as quite charming until the moment ne
dons MS uniform. Now he thinks the hand
OF God is upon him and that he is fuliIlinga
divine mission on earth. My impression of
the Empress is she has but small part TO
play She seemed TO De astonished at the at
tentions SHOWN to her in England, as if not
accustomed to much consideration On her
face is that sad reserved smile of the Ger
man house frau, who lays the table while
her husband is away, who is always at
home while her husband is OUT"
