his remarks as hint 10 the Powers that
Great Britain is in syrnpathy with The
United States, and the irtimaton 70 this
effct was called forth by Germanys alleg-
eel attitude in the question of the Philip

elevated philanthropy is the passage
upon which stress is LAID, and many peo-
pie find a connection between the pre-
miers speech and the recent visit Of Col.
