LONDON, Nov 25.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Specal Telegram 1.-The duke OF
Marlborough was hunting in Melton and the
duchess was opening bazaar in Birming-
ham Wednesday when they simultaneously
received the surprising intelligence that the
| kaiser proposed visit to them at Blenhelm'
Both hurried home, where they found l. rd
Valentia, comptroller of the queens house,
hold, waiting with special dispatch from
the emperor earnestly requesting that no
special arrangements be made, his desire
simply being to meet again the descendant
of one of the worlds most famous generals
and pay visit as a pilgrim to the shrine de-
voted to his memory.
Quick preparations were made and the
kaiser, accompanied by the prince Of wales
and the duke of Connaught, was received at
Woodstock platform by the duke and duchess.
| Tho kaiser shook the duke warmly by the
| hand as the latter stood bareheaded. Then
the duchess was presented to him and she
| said in rather e quavering voice: Il cor
| daily welcome your majesty to our home
The kaiser bowed and led the duchess to the
carriage, where she sat beside him, oppo-
| site the prince of Wales and the duke OF
Conuaught. At Blenheim the duke showed
the kaiser through the state apartments
and the latter displayed the deepest interest
in everything relating to the great duke,
asking questions about incidents in his mil
tary career which occasionally nonplussed
| the duke. He examined at length the mag
nificent tapestries depicting scenes in the
dukes battles. When he had read the origi-
nal of the dukes dispatch from Blenheim he
remarked: Writing that dispatch must
] have been the proudest moment of his great
| career"
At luncheon the kaiser sat at the right Of
| the duchess, with whom he conversed gaily
After lunch he walked and drove beside her
the whole time, while the duke was acting
as cicerone through the grounds and gar
dens.ss He studied sthe copses which were
plantedeto represent Blenheim battlefield,
but showed special interest when the duchess
took him to her American garden. Here he
| remarked laughingly to the duke: This, Of
| course, is the duchess special dominion
where you are only PERMITTED on sufferance."
The duchess aptly replied: "Oh, no; there
| is no distinction between England and
America nowadays" The kaiser laughed,
but did not pursue the topic.
Wales Merely u Cipher.
| The prince of Wales was utterly blotted
out of the picture by the overwhelming
| personality of the kaiser who pervades and
dominates every gathering he enters. The
prince never showed greater tact than by the
| acceptance Of this position, which must gall
the prince to the last degree. The kaiser was
most profuse in his thanks to the duke and
duchess when leaving The duchess was
| dressed in a charming costume of beauti-
| full shade of rra-cotta cloth, a short and
exqusitely braided coat with a medici col
| lar She was soon quite at east with the
kaiser, who was evidently greatly charmed
by her simple, unaffected manner.
The only guests to meet the kaiser were
the members of the queens household, the
visit being, at the kaiser's request, regarded
| as strictly private. Representatives of Lon
don papers complain of great discourtesy
on the part Of the duke, who sent a fiunkey
| with supercilous message to order them
outside the gates of the park.
| salient incident of the state banquet in
honor of the kaiser at Windsor castle was
his long and animated conversation with
Chamberlain after dinner in the gallery
! The queen and the kaiser, seated received
the ambassadors in the order of precedence,
| addressing a few formal words to each
Mrs. Choate was present and bowed. she
|
but the queen afterwards talked to her
quite long while. The kaiser rose and
moved about, followed by Count Won Buelow
When he reached Chamberlain, they re-
mained talking for twenty-five minutes The
| ambassadors had to pretend unconcern while
consumed with unsatished curiosity about
\ the significant conference When the kaiser
had finished with Chamberlain he apologized
to the queen for having kept her waiting
and spoke to her exclusively during the re-
mainder OF her stay. After the guests with
| drew, Chamberlain, accompanied by Sir
Frank Lasceles, British ambassador to Ber-
lin, had a further interview with the
kaiser, this time accompanied by Won Bue-
low, who. in the gallery had stood behind
/ out of earshot, evidently a preconcerted
device to deprive the conversation of its
obviously official character in the presence
Of the ambassadors.
All Eyes on Morocco.
The great object Of the kaiser's visit is
to arrive at an understanding with Great
Britain about the partition of Morocco state,
which must fall to pieces within a short
time. Salisbury decided osme time since
that Morocco is the most important ques-
tion looming up in the near future and
might, he feared, lead to that European con-
hagration SO long predicted. France re-
CARDS Morocco as its right owing to the
contiguity of the African possession. Ger
many considers it essential to it's West
African colonies and is supposed to have a
share. while England cannot tolerate a strip
of Morocco commanding the entrance to
the straits falling into the hands OF any
other power. France is actively intriguing
with Spain to oust Germany and England
from Morocco when the catacysm comes,
and Spain. with French money continues
fortifying the heights dominating Gibraltar.
Despite representations from England l
can state on unquestionable authority that
the relations of England to Spain are at
this moment extremely strained, II not ac-
tually critical. The presence OF the chan
mel squadron off Tanger. as well as tho
fitting out of special service squadron, have
relation not TO any fear about South African
transports, but TO possible developments In
Morocco. 1t is believed in diplomatic circles
