GERMANY ACCUSED OF TRYING TO
ISOLATE GREAT BRITAIN.

Ascribed TO His Irritation over
EngInnd's Refusal to Join the
Triple AIIiance-The birmingham
Post Declares Germany n Factor in
Causing the Massacres of Chris
tians in China-The Salisbury Gov
ernment Greatly DispIeased by
Letter written by MIR. Gladstone.
Special London Gable Letter.
London, Nov. 2-The first paper to an
nounce that Prime Minister Salisbury had
departed from his original intention not
to hold meeting of the cabinet till the
middle of November, when the domestic
measures to be laid before the House of
Commons would be discussed, was the
birmingham Post, an organ that is in
spirod By the Chamberlain party.
This paper is the frequent possessor of
exclusive advance tips. In announcing
that the first cabinet meeting Will be held
on Nov. ., the Post added that matters
of unusual Importance. mainly connected
with foreign and colonial affairs, would
come under the consideration of the min-
listers. It's London letter yesterday, the
day after Mr.. Chamberlain the head Of
the colonial ONCE, returned TO England
from the continent, contained the 1olloW-
ing important statement. Lord Sails
bury speech at WatfOrd confirms the
somewhat ugly news that is coming to
hand from the various foreign capitals
regarding the secret attempt that Ger
many Is known 10 be smarting under the
from al Friendly European powers Ger
many is know to be smarting under the
refusal of the British foreign ministers
OF bOth parties to become connected with
the triple alliance, and, playing a double
game, now hopes TO induce Lord Sails
bury 10 change his resolution not to al
low Great Britain to become entangled in
this bond. 1t is the malevolent inhuence Of
germany Wnlch, 10y encouraging the
Isung-Li-Namen, has been factor in
causing the maSsaCre5 of Christians III
China, ana her chief effort at this mo-
ment is directed to rendering nugatOry
our endeavors in behalf of the prosecuted
Christians in Armenia.
The above is the plainest indication yet
printed of the origin of the trouble that
ls now depressing politicians and opera
tors ON the bourses.
A leading conservative paper in the north
of England says that some light is badly
needed on foreign affairs, for the posi-
ton OF Great Britain in the far east is
extremely critical. Russia and France, IL
declares, are menacing British interests
in Asia, apparently with the tacit consent
OF Germany. The United states seems
I disinclined to enter into an alliance with
/ Great Britain, though willing TO remain
benevolent neutral. Japan, whom most
I regard as Great Britain's natural ally.
seems to he of two minds whether to 90
/ bodily over to the enemy.
! The paper asks: rs Great Britain, then,
| to remain isolated in the fight for her
| own her hand backed only by her own re-
/ sources?" The Optimists hope that Lord
/ Salisbury will be able to reassure his fol-
] lowers in the speech that he Will deliver
! at the banquet TO be given by Sir Walter
/ Henry WiDSin the newa-lord mayor of
/ London, on the evening of Nov. 9, on which
day the latter official viii be installed in
/ office
Mr. Gladstone's letter to Madame Nov
| ikom, who, under the signature Of 20.
/ k, has contributed many political and
/ other articles to the London press has
! greatly displeased the government. Mr..
/ Gladstone, in this letter, said that the
NHsnW Iaar IL =
to mankind, and that the Turkish ruler
| had at his feet Russia, France and Great
Britain Continuing, he said "As to
| the division Of shame among them, 1
/ care little enough, but l hope that my
own country Will, for it own good, be
made conscious and exhibit to the world
/ for its own fun share, whatever that
may be. May God, in his mercy, send
I speedy end to the governing Turk and all
his dOings, as 1 said when 1 could say,
and even sometimes do, 50 l say IN my
political decrepitude or death"
Shortly after Lord Salisbury had read
this letter he said that Such utterances
were not likely to tend to produce order
/ or save life in Turkey.
1t has since been announced on behalf
] of Mr. Gladstone that the letter was not
/ meant TO be published and that, by an
/ oversight, it had not been marked 'Pri-
l vate." Visitors at Hawarden castle,
/ Mr.. Gladstone's residence, say that the
/ ex-prime minister follows with keen at
{ tentiOn and growing iudigna tiOn the daily
/ reports of the treatment of The Armeni-
ans by the Turks He cOnVcrses frequent
/ " on the subject 1t has been suggested
that his family ought to act toward him
/ as did the family of Lord John Russell
/ toward that statesman in his old age.
Lord John was in the habit Of writing
| strongly worded letters on PUBLIC ques-
/ tiOns, on which he dihered with the gov
! ernment, but his friends took care that
/ these letters went no further than the
! post box in the hall Of his house.
/ Prime Minister Salisbury has handed

the memorandum transmitted to him by

reply will probably be moderate and anil

to become involved IN a dispute with the
