London. Sept. 4-Public attention
still centers in the dual alliance,
thoug.h it has been interrupted by the
shoutings of Emperor William OF Ger
many. England remains apathetle, IN
spfte of the fact that the center OF
gravity in European affairs has been
shifted to St. Petersburg.
Commenting upon the political situa-
ton, the Spectator remarks:
The closer we look into the details
of the arrangements binding Europe.
the clearer it becomes that not one of
the various powers can move without
Russia. In some way or other every
power except Russia is bound either
by express agreement or by interests
not to alter the status quo.
Queen Victoria and the Marquis of
Salisbury, though fully aware of the
French jealousies of England, placed
great reliance upon the clear-cut, Eng
hsh-tending influence of the czarina
over the czar and believe the alliance
really makes way for peace.
Germany finds solace in the bitter
chagrih of Emperor Williams remarks
at ST. Petersburg. According to my
conviction, we skinned the cream"
German susceptibilities by explaining
the weakness of the meaning of the
words employed by the car.
DELIRIUM CONTINUES.
In France. particularly in Paris, the
delirium continues. RUSSIAN names
are given to every possible article OF
fashion and luxury. The streets, stlll
gay with Russian eolors, will be re-
baptized. Wherever men see pictures
of the car they lift their hats, and
the statue of Strasburg, on the Place
du la Concorde, is gaily decorated with
floral wreaths in response to the al
most universal conviction that Russia
, means to compel Strasburg's restora-
ton.
Though the French manufacturers
are already disappointed in not obtains
ing immense Russian contracts, Russia
certainly intends to do much to crafty
French ambition. The first step an
nounced is the establishment of Rus
sian legation at Tangier to support
French views in Africa, and France
feels for the first time since 1871 that
she is strong enough to have her own
Wav.
President Faure is quite delighting
Paris with the gossip of the Russian
court. What astonished him most was
the informal and entirely unaffected
manners of the emperor and empress.
The imperial couple, he explains, live
exactly like private people, in a small
cottage with their children, dogs and
photographs about them. The car
dislikes a military escort near him,
goes about practically unattended and
is immensely popular with the people.
This last statement is confirmed by
| the reception that his majesty met With
at Warsaw this week There the peo-
pie seem 10 have given him most
hearty welcome, and in political circles
much Importance is attached to his
majesty's visit to Poland.

shouting for peace the heads of the
various nations have been busy per-
