TO the S1r from London says: Thurs
day nightlwitnessed the elimination
of seriespf events in this country of
almost asleep import to the United
States. and to all the world, as the
momentous struggle taking place in
Chicago. Great Britain has made,
through her. sovereign and the prince
OF wales, overtlres to the people of
America such as this erstwhile proud
and independent nation never before
made TO any foreign power. These
overtures have been responded to by the
United States ambassador in terms,
which if he spoke b. authority, insure
the immediate conclusion of an Anglo
Saxon alliance WINCH would revolu-
tionize the history oithese concluding
years of the century.
/ cabled last week he fact that the
British government you'd seize upon
the opportunity sfoIied by the visit
or the Ancient and honorable Artil-
lery company to nhkea strong bid for
American friendliaess and good viii.
The event has gone mich beyond that
forecast. Never lnEwod or deed have
the British governnentor British peo-
pie made such an lefbrt to win the
popular affection ofanalien nation.
1t is in some rePecs a grotesque
spectacle that the B6ton Artillery
company should be the recipients of
tins lavish, almost 4niiess hospital

sight into political AMI diplomatic
motives to discove tie real in

There are two or thre political con-
clusions which must Inevitably be
drawn from this week skents. One is
that the isolation of treat Britain
among the European poers IS as COM

Great Britain is not onlSviling, but
anxious, to make an allhce or COM

this desire, in all probflity, more
