 LONDON, July 30.-The Marquis of Lorne in reply to a request that he write a few words upon the subject of an Anglo-American rapprochement sent me the following note. Both on sc- count of the Marquis personal rank and his position as the Queens son-in- law, and also his knowledge of trans Atlantic affairs, due to his residence in Canada as Governor General from 1878 to 1883, this note is peculiarly interest ing. The Marquis of Lorne says:
 T always have worked for a thor ough understanding with the United States, and hope to do so during the rest of my days. There are great com mon interests to unite us, and nothing that rises above the level of compara- tive trifies to divide us. In China, for instance, at the present moment, we have mutual interests and We should push along together there and else where"
 I have with a certain measure of sue cess obtained the views of the English EpisCOpate on Anglo-American rap prochement. Among the most impor- tant communications is one from Right Rev. MandeL Creighton, D. D., Bishop of London, considered by many the most eminent divine in the British Episcopate and looked upon as the fu- ture Archbishop of Canterbury. His lOrdship's note strikes a note of new gospels, and Is as follows:
 ' The future will not be so much con- cerned with nations as with the civiliz- ing influences which they contribute to the worlds progress. The question for US is, what will be the future civilizing ideas which are common to the Eng Nsh-speaking people? Local forms and notifications are of little moment. The important thing is the value of ideas themselves. The future of the world depends upon the good understanding between England and the United States. If they cannot teach each other how are they to teach other peoples?" ?" Bish6P EaSPt uf Fey Liverpool CT IS a'is, also % "a member of the Anglo American League. He wrote as follows to the request for a few words of personal opinion upon the movement:
 T thank you for your letter. have been much gratified by the rise and continued progress, good feeling and friendship between England and the United States of America. I trust It will grow and increase. Reading the same Pible and speaking the same lan- guage, We ought always to be friend ly."
 The Bishop of Ripon's answer was as follows:
 T am rejoiced at the signs of better feeling between the United States of America and this country. I trust the cordial feelings which now exist may be strengthened and extended as the years move on. I can foresee much and lasting good from such friendship, and believe all those seeking to pro- mote it are working toward an end which will bring good to mankind. and to all who are engaged in this work l would say, Go on, in the name of the brotherhood of peace
 The Bishop of Exeter wrote:
 T believe that the hearty fraternal friendship between England and the United States of America, which is deepening year by year, will by God s mercy, promote the kingdom of the prince of peace"
