Hon. Charles F. Crisp, Of Georgia, ex-

Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, United states
ambassador to England, has accepted the
invitation to deliver the annual adress
Of the Endinburg Philosophical Society
in November. The invitation to deliver
an address is the highest literary honor
in Great Britain Among those who have
made the address in previous years are
the Rt. Hon. John Morley late chief sec
retary for Ireland and Rt. Hon. a. ]. Bal
four, first lord Of the treasury.
Though Lord Salisbury is determined to
avenge the recent massacre Of foreigners
at Kucheng and the Outrages committed
by the Chinese mob al that place, he re-
fuses to entertain the claims of the mis-
sionary societies that their agents be pro-
tected wherever they may go, and in this
action the premier is backed up by the
liberals The Daily News, in an article
on the subject says the missionaries can
be, il necessary. and ought TO be pre-
vented from going beyond the limits of
British authority.
The missionary societies, seeing that the
sympathy of the public is confined TO the
victims of the outrages personally have
issued a long statement, signed by the
editorial secretary of the church mis-
sionary society, saying the last thing
they desire was that the gospel be propa-
gated into China at the point of the
bayonet, but nevertheless the British can
not in China pass lightly over the muir
der of British subjects who have a right
to be protected.
In the present instance the same spirit
IS being displayed by Germany. The
North German Gazette yesterday printed
a restrained article, concluding thus:
"Chna's whole intellectual tendency is
against reforms, but this fact will not
keep Europeans from knocking harder
ana harder at the doors of the Chinese
empire, which are as good as closed, but
It is hardly to be expected that China
will meet us half way"
England's relations with Germany have
undergone notable change in another
direction within the week. A quotation
from an article printed in the Daily News
last Saturday showed that ii was expected
that the liberals would approve of Lord
Salsbury's cultivating the most friendly
and cordial relations with Germany, but
the Standard (Semi-officiaD after the
rival at Cowes, of Emperor William,
printed a remarkable leading article say
ing although England desired to retain
Germany's friendship Germany had better
renounce some of her ambideXterous Bis
marckian methods in the conduct of her
relations with foreign powers and espec-
Tally in connection with Africa. This artt-
Gle was widely quoted and was unanimous
ly condemned by the German press.
The presence of British and Spanish
men-of-war at Tangier is due to the au-
thOrities at Morocco having granted their
consent to the permanent residence of a
French consul at Fez. The other powers
insist that their representatives shall be
granted the same privileges.
The gold and silver reserves of the Bank
OF France have reached a sum in excess
Of l32000,G00 pounds sterling, OF which
amount about 50,O00OOO pounds is silver.
This is not only the largest reserve in the
world, but ii has never been paralleled in
history of finace
Mr.. James Keir Hardie the labor leader
who sat in the last parliament for the
south division of Westham, has accepted
an invitation to attend the labor congress

The regatta last week at Cowes, this
year judged from a racing point of view
was not equal to that of 1894, but in
social way, it was as brilliant as ever.
Emperor William of Germany, who
dominated everything, had the satlstac-
ton yesterday of seeing the schooner
yacht Nerena owned by his chosen friend
the Earl of Lonsdale, win the emperor's
cup. The kaiser has shown the most
marked favor for Lord Lonsdale every
where. Lord Lonsdale has designed a
special train for the conveyance OF the
emperor, who is to be his guest for some
days, from Southampton TO Cumberland.
