 London, Nov. n.--Lord Salisbury's speech at the lord mayors banquet at the Guild hall, especially his reference to America, is making a stir through out Europe. The Paris evening papers yesterday, having longer time for re- tlection, had a much less satisfied tone than the utterances of the morning press in the French capital, while the whole continent reflects the feeling that the speech conveys a grave menace for the future. La Liberte of Paris says: Tt is a question of an Anglo American agreement respecting the Philippines directed against Germany The Jour nal des Debats regards the speech as "an invitation to America to make an alliance agalnst Europe" but doubts whether Americans will willingly play the role of train-bearers to English pol itics."
 The London morning papers revert to the subject and again take occasion to wish well to America's colonial mis- sion The Times says editorially: NO doubt the idea of La Liberte is gro- tesque, yet it shows a truer apprecia- tion of the spirit of Lord Salisbury's remarks than the singular interpreta- tion put upon them by one correspond ent, Henry Norman who finds in them the preposterous implication that the English attitude during the war was due to the notion that our interests would be furthered by the United States being plunged into war. Lord Sails bury clearly did not refer to the late war at all. He paid the United States the compliment of holding that their entry into world politics is an event of great importance. His further re- marks obviously meant that America and England would stand together in a friendship based upon community of aims, sentiments and interests. It needs a strangely perverted ingenuity to see a slight to America in views of this kind, enunciated by the statesman, who directed English policy throughout the Hispano- American war and the Anglo-American reapproachment it produced. German critics are more perspicacious and evidently dislike the prospect Lord Salisbury suggested.
 The Daily Mail which deprecates Elm peror Williams visit to Spain as most ITr;ea The first article of our national poll- cy is close friendship with the Unit ed States and 1t would be better for Germany to act in harmony with Great Britain than to try to irritate Ameri- ca" The Standard absolves Lord Sal isbury of any intention to sound a note of warning in alluding to Americas entry into world politics and welcomes the cooperation of the United States with England in preventing the vast dominions of China, should they be- come direlict, from becoming the pre- serve of any single European state"
 The Daily News says: Lord Sails bury's remarks were unusually obscure. Perhaps he was alluding to Germany's irritation. In any case Germany can- not contemplate the supreme folly of fighting to exclude America from the Philippines. If she wants to display colonial energy in that direction, Ger many is too late, America has been deeply and justly incensed at Ger many's favor towards Spain and she certainly will not ask the kaiser's leave before appropriating the fruits of vic tory"
 Lord George Hamilton, secretary of state for India, speaking in London last evening, said he agreed with Lord Sal isbury that it was quite impossible to overestimate the importance of Amerl ca's entrance upon a colonization policy. England and America, whose interests are identical, should stand side by side in the promotition of civilization and good government in the dark places of the east"
