EMPEROR IN THE BREACH.
FAR REACHING EFFECT OF KAISER'S
VISIT TO ENGLAND.
rBY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE. ]


London Nov IA l q. m.-The mastery mac
t,yity on the British side and untimely lethargy
on the part of the Dutch allies have impaired
new impulse to diplomatic discussion Rumors Of
critical state OF affairs in the Far East are not
credited in diplomatic circles and have not
caused the smallest furry Of excitement on the
Stock Exchange. There is no evidence that
Russia and Japan are on the of war. Work
snapanrr- vessels building In
English shipyards may have been expedited.
but this does not warrant the assumption that
a naval with Russia is openly courted.
The German Emperor's visit to England is the
chief topic Of serious discussion and ingenious
conjecture. On the Continent he has suddenly
loomed UP as the commanding figure in Eu-
ropean diplomacy, who has thrown his influ-
ence on the winning side at the moment when
England is making a supreme military effort
1000 miles from Lands End. Even the CONNER
cal classes Of Germany are impressed with the
power and consequence Of their Emperor in the
great affairs Of the world. and acrid French
criticism is forced to admit that England and
Germany have been drawn into a close under
standing which does not differ essentially from
a formal alliance and forecasts a momentous
change in the trend of European diplomacy.

The Queen is evidently taking the liveliest in
terest in the reception Of her grandson, and.
after her manner, is recasting the details and
assigning parts all the members Of the royal
family. There will be family reunion, with
every sign OF affection and cordiality, and there
will also be stately functions in honor of the
nations iustrious guest. The programme or
the festivities has already been enlarged so as
10 include oxford and Cambridge. London,
sandringham and Chatsworth. and the Prime
Minister will be at his sovereigns right hand
at Windsor
The German Emperor who has conspicuous
talent for stage effects. is enlarging his own
suite until it includes Won Buow, Count Eulen-
burg and three military attaches. and he Is
meeting every fresh advance with sympathetic
interest
The English press is taking It's cue from the
Court and is magnifying the Importance Of the
Emperor's visit Radical journals are minimiz-
Ing their prejudice against the Emperor caused |
by his course in the Armenian Greek affair, and |
the Unionists are explaining away the ordering |
out Of a flying squadron as a matter Of no i'm
portance
A SAFEGUARD OF PEACE.
American comments on the relations OF Eng |
land and Germany are read with marked inter
s't and the suggestion Of a widening sphere OF
sood feeling between England and America so
