THE BLUE AND WHITE BOOKS.

People In this country have only re.
Gently realized how near England and
Germany came to blows over the Trans.
vaal incident. When Jsmison's raiders
were repulsed by the Beers. and the
Emperor Of Germany sent q congratu-
lstory dispatch to President Kruger, of
the Dutch republic, the great anger Of
the English people and the sudden
marshalipg of troops and war vessels
by the British government were not at
frat understood by the people of this
country. They could not see why the
simple fact that cablegram of con.
graduation from the ruler OF one
country TO the ruler OF another over
the speedy repulse OF an unjust tnvan
sion should raise such q hubbub.
The British "Blue Book" and the
German "Whise Book" which have
been lately published by the respective
governments, throws full light on the
whole matter, ead shows that the Brit
ish queen and her grandson, using per.
sons to represent nations, were desper-
time OF the Jamison raid, not about the
little dispatch altogether, however. but
because from the publications above
alluded to it WAS evident that Ger
many had for some time desired TO

and England being perfectly aware of
this disposition on the part Of the kaiser.
was firmly resolved to maintain her
position es Q paramount power in South
Africa, the desires of Emperor William
and the German government to the con-
trary, Notwithstanding.
Just then the relations between the
United States and the Mother country
were very much strained; but it WAS
noticeable fact. Notwithstanding the
condition Of affairs, that the American
people, as q class, refrained from any
action calculated to give aid and COM
fort to the enemies of Great Britain. or
that showed any disposition whatever
on their part to use the psrplexities of
the British government to their advan-
tnge.

aoterissic of him than it Is of his Amer
loan relatives; hence 1t is that as On
outcome of the Venezuelan Inn broglio
and the Transvaal incident tho feelings
OF the two nations towards each other
are now more cordial and friendly than
they have bean for SONS time. 1t Is
hopad these reiations may continue to
improve and lead to the establishment Of
permanent board OF arbitration and
the consequent complete removal of all
danger Of war between the two coun-
tries.
