upon the subject Of the speech recently
delivered at Leeds by the Right Hon.
George ]. Gdschen, First Lord OF the
British Admiralty, In which he made al

pressed Mr.. Goschen purposely went out
OF his way to make unjust insinuatlons
against the Emperor. and II Is stated
upon the most reliable authority that the
Kaiser has strong hopes that sound
sense will soon prevail I'm England, and
that the people and statesmen OF that
country will not allow themselves to be
led into an untenabie position.
Nothing can be learned from an official
source az to the foundation for the re-
port that a more friendly feeling between
Germany and England has been brought
about, and the truth of the suggestions
is generally doubted. Indeed. nobody who
keeps himself Informed upon political
questions gives the idea any credence.
