in regard to the Kiel celebration:
"I shall never see such sight again.
I have heard upon all sides that the
American ships made the best impression, 80
far as the appearance Of the ships Is con

New York is the best Of her class, having
heavier armament and being faster and more
economical in the consumption OF coal. In
the opinion of German experts she out

A dispatch from London says: "The de-
cision Of the Rosebery Government meets
the approval of nearly all its followers. 1t
Is generally recognized that an attempt to
keep on In the face Of recent events would
have the effect to put the party in q humll1a-
ting If not a contemplate position before
the country. There were strong tactical rea-
sons In favor OF resignation instead OF dis
solution. The Tories will now be com.
PEELED to govern the country for several
weeks before the general election. They
must pursue q constructive and
defensive policy instead Of one OF
irresponsible criticism. In fact they must
face many of the endorsements which have
contributed to popular lukewarmness to-
ward the Rosebery administration. Nobody
Is so foolish, however. even among the LII
beral leaders, as to pretend that there Is
more than fighting chance, at present, OF
the return of Liberal Parliament. 1t will
require extraordinary and unexpected
changes in the whole situation to lead any
body to believe in the possibility of Liberal
victory. The Liberals themselves, therefore,
are among the most active spectators upon
the possible makeup Of the Conservative
Cabinet
