preparing a new series of disgustingy offensive
caricatures Of the Queen, Emperor william, the

Chamberlain which will exceed In personality
and bad taste all that he has hitherto achieved.

common with the Temps" the Figaro" the
"Gaulois" and the "Debats" severely denounces
the bad taste of the boulevard and Montmartre
Journalists, who still continue their personal m
suits to the royal family.
The Petit Journal" the 'Patre, the
"Presse" and the "Soir' fairly briste with
passages from Mr. Chamberlans speech which
are taken texts for sermons hostile TO Eng
land. Even a moderate republican paper ike
the "Matin" characterizes the Leicester speech
as Juvenile outburst Of jlngosm," and con-
cludes that "Mr. Chamberlain is suffering from
a swollen head since the Emperor William re-
ceived him and talked with him as the rep
resentative of Englands foreign policy, owing
to the unavoidable absence Of Lord Salisbury.
which was a misfortune for the peace OF Eu-
rope"
Mr. Chamberlain represents the opinion Of the
British nation, for II is inconceivable that peo-
pie which applauded Lord salisburys moderate
discourse at the Guildha month ago should
have so veered around as to acclaim to-day
with the same enthusiasm the violent diatribes
Of Mr.. Chamberlain directed against coun-
try"
To sum up. IT is clear that as far as the
French press is concerned Mr. Chamberlains
speech has made matters much worse than be-
fore, and that the tension between the two
countries is now greater than at any other time
since the mobilization OF the British feet last
year after Fashoda The English attacks, al
though less personal are more general and far
more bitter; feeling has reached such point
that the British Chamber of Commerce in Paris
has cancelled the invitations FOR its annual ban
quet, which had been issued for December u.
and has decided TO postpone II 10 indefinite
date. Rumors already current in the British
colony that such public pressure has been
brought to bear upon the Prince Of Wales that
he will resign his position as honorary president
Of the British Commission for the Exhibition
of 1900
None Of the French papers, with the excep-
ton Of the Steele" and the Petite Repub-
lQue," consider that triple alliance, in the
form presented by Mr. Chamberlain, including
England, Germany and the United States is
really serious, although the Temps" and the
"Debats" admit that there Is community of
interests Of the three Powers in China and the
Pacific but think that commercial under
standing can never attain the proportions Of
cast iron alliance. Great prominence is to-day
given in all the papers to Secretary Hays de-
NAL cabled from Washington of the existence
of anything like an alliance with England or
Germany. or both
