The visit Of the king and queen Of Italy
to Sardinia next week will be an inter-
esting occasion, and. from some stand
points, significant. The event will shape
the naval reunion at Cagliari. capital of
the island of Sardinia, of the fleets Of
Great Britain and France, and 1t is
hoped the opportunity will be seized upon
to emphasize the better understanding
now existing between the two countries.
Altogether there will be fifty warships in
the harbor twenty British and fifteen
each from Italy and France. There will
be no review, but the king of Italy will
hold ceremonious reception of the prin-
cipal officers.
1t is announced that the Prince of
Wales has succeeded in definitely arrang
ing for the queen to open, in May or
June the Royal College of Science, in
which the science collection of the South
Kensington museum will be housed The
collection at present is lodged In the part
of the museum known from it's hideous
shape as the 'Brompton on boilers" The
ceremony of opening the college will be on
the same scale as imperial institute In
augurations. The route will be lined with
troops, and there win be procession,
which. however will have a melancholy
side, as her majesty has determined that
it will be her last public appearance at a
ceremony Of this nature.

German Idea of Universal Peace
Based Upon Force.

LONDON. April S.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Times says Prof. Won
Stengel, of the Munich university. who
will be one of the German delegates to
the disarmament conference at The
Hague next month, has published a
pamphlet opposing the advocates Of per-
petual peace. He declares that endeavors
to secure it are futile and puerile, and
that no peace conference, even though
convoked by car, and attended by the
most skilful diplomatists and statesmen
will succeed in establishing universal
peace. On the contrary. he contends
that such conferences are merely to avert
present dangers, and that SO far as Ger
many is concerned she will maintain her
nghtful position in the politics of the
world
In commenting upon Won StengeIs
pamphlet the Berliner Post says that Is
a great source of satisfaction that the
German delegates are free from vague
notions of universal DECENTRALIZATION.

BERLIN. April S.-The Samoan uues-
ton continues to hold the attention Of
the public, the newspapers being full of
dispatches and comment on the subject.
The emperor has devoted much time to
the matter, and has conferred several
times on the subject with the minister
of foreign affairs, Baron Won Buelow.
1t is interesting to note that German
distrust and dissatisfaction at the latest
events are almost entirely aimed at
Great Britain, whose attitude is describ-
ed, even in official circles, as being die
tated by duplicity and unfriendliness.
The press faithfully portrays this feeling.
The delay of Great Britain in accepting
the proposals for a settlement of the DIFF
fculty which the United States ambas-
sador, Andrew D. White, attributed main
ly to the absence Of the Marquis Of Sails
bury from London, is generally inter-
preted In Germany as showing distinctly
unfriendly motives on the part of Great
Britain
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press has had an interview on the SUBJ
ject with high foreign office official. who
said:
1T has been source Of regret and as
tonishment that Great Britain. unlike
the United States, has not expressed ra-
greet at the latest turn Of affairs in Sa-
moa, while the acceptance of our peace
ful settlement has 80 Tar been snoum-

WAR IS A NECESSITY.
German Delegate to Peace Confer

German Delegate to Peace Confer
ence Says Plan Is UtOpian.
BERLIN, April 8.-Prof. Stengel, one
of the German delegates to the coming
peace conference at The Hague, has just
published an article which is strikingly
at variance with the idea that he was
nominated to discuss.
His view is that eternal peace ought in
no wise to be the aim of culture The
assertion that war is opposed to civiliza-
ton, art, science. and industry is, he
says, utterly wrong. He maintains that
1t is not the intellectual achievements of
nation that decideats fate, but its be-
ligerent strength.
War" says Prof. Stengel SIS an edu-
cetionel necessity. 1t has its mission in
the promotion of culture. The agitation
of the friends of peace is a pernicious
sentiment, and its fantastic efforts are
no more valuable than the Utopian
schemes of Thomas More and Edward
Bellamy.
For this reason, Prof. StengeI saws. no
peace conference. even at the suggestion
of the czar. will be able to give eternal
peace. On the contrary, such meetings
harbor some danger, as they tend more
clearly to reveal conflicting interests
1t is not known whether the article
was written before or after Prof Stem
gels appointment.

CAIRO, April 8.-Lord Cromer, the
British minister, in his annual report on
the finances and condition of Egypt and
the Soudan, says that Egypt has had
another year Of prosperity, the surplus
for 1898 amounting to 94S40Oo (Egyptian)
He remarks upon the growing disposition
to invest British capItaI in the country.
The deficit in the finances of the Soudan
is placed at s2OO,O0 (Ggyptian.)
Dealing with the development of the
SCudan, Lord Cromer refers to the con-
tract for the Athara bridge, the placing
of which with an American company
caused much comment. He says that an
English firm offered to deliver the bridge
in six months and half at a cost OF
$40 400, while the American firm under
took to deliver it in forty-two days at a
cost of G6,500
Lord Cromer says he hopes the railway
will reach Khartoom by the end of 1899
and be extended to Abu Haraz in 1900.
Thence it will be constructed eventually
to Gedaref, Kassala, and the Red sea,
but the route has not yet been decided
upon.

queen was delighted with the idea, and
that it Is a love match
In exclusive court circles and official
quarters the report is spoken Of as a SEN

Is known to exist between the young peo-

There are stupendous religious OBJ

One of these is the fact that Prince
