London. NOV. l4>-Darcps d now agog
with ramOrs Of Diplomatic activity and a.
liances that may be effected. Az . result,
the relations Of the European powers seem
TO be rapidly assuming new phase.
This doubtless ID mot q little dne 10 thu
fact that in nearly al the recent interna-
tional negotiations the United States has
been faetor. Judging from Lord Sails
bnIy's inference this can b partly attrib-
nted to the evident dissemination at the
governments Of the great PoueRs 70 work
harmOniously with Great Britain, policy
which, judging from the continenfal preas,
Is obnoxious to the majority Of the eOnta-
mental peoples.
The forthcoming visit Of Emperor Will
lam to Queen Victoria i regarded a.
Gaping the climax Of British diplomatic
success and the feeling Of satisfaction 1t
this state Of Affairs Is mot in the Elightest
degree marred BY any feeling Of jealousy
over the recent meeting 1t P0tsdam. TAs
statement that Count Won BueIow win ac-
company Emperor William TO England 10
taken to be an indication that his majesty
does not mean TO give the anti-BEitish
press any opportunity Of belittling his
visit on the score that il Is merely an obi
gatoFy one to his grandmother.
But, while the Emperor undoubtedly In
tends to officially emphasize the friendship
Of Germany for Great Britain, Il b searce-
~ likely, as some Of the optimists deelaEs,
that important treaties looking toward .
sllT.aa~ a1lsawr.a .uvrll a..
sequence Of the imperial iaunt Il i point
ed out that all which could be done IN this
direction seems already accomplished and
several diplomats have expressed the opin.
ion 70 the representative Of the Aasoei-
ated Press that this was far more than
was expected and that international feel
ing was not yet Tipe for any mOrs than .
formal bond between ths two nations,
which were 50 recently on the verge Of
hostilities.
The announcement Of the Samoan agree-
ment throws = pleasant light over this
meeting Of Queen Victoria and Emperor
William and assures the visitor q hearty
reception on the part al the British pnblie.
An elaborate program has been drawn up.
Upon the arrival at Portsmouth On No
vember "A Of the imperial yacht HohenzOl-
lern, with the emperor, empress their two
sons and Others on board, il win be met
BY the British channel squadron and Il i
said the emperor, wearing the uniform Of
q British admiral viii be welcomed By the
prince Of Walks, similarly attired, and the
duke Of York.
After the salntes and q review, the
party viii 60 direct to Windsor, staying
there five days Thence the emperor win
60 to Sandringham for two days and win
meet there Lord Salisbury, Mr.. Ralfour,
Lord Rosebery, Mr.. Chamberlain, Lord
WOlseley and other nstablea. The nsmaIn-
der Of his maiestyis visit viii probably b
spent at the duke OF DevOnshire's seat, at
CsatswOEth, and in shooting in Scotland,
the imperial party returning to Germany
via Leith, on the HohenDoIlGn.
British feeling on the subject Of the en-
peroris visit il well vOiced BY Punehs ear.
tOOn representing the emperor, who, ehal-
lenged by British sentry, replies:
FRIEND
And the sentry responds:
Pass, friend; all's well" emphasizing
the word ~friend."
The intense interest In the war has not
abated and the enormous amount Of the
Mansion house funds Is but an instance of
the practical form such feeling assumes
throughout Great Britain
