FOREIGN NOTES
 AND COMMENT

The Kaiser reaches Cowes today
 week on board the Hohenzollern for a
 ten days visit to his grandmother, Queen
 Victoria, who is now at Osborne. He
 will be received with altogether unpre-
 ceGented cordiality. for the English
 royal family, the government and the
 people thoroughly appreciate the sym
 pathy and good will which he has man.
 ifested for Great Britain throughout
 the South African war, a sympathy
 which has gone far to prevent compli-
 cations with continental powers. ~Inas-
 much as the Kaiser controls in the
 most absolute fashion the foreign poli-
 cy of the German Empire the estab-
 lishment of such affectionate relations
 between himself and his English rela-
 tives, and especially the complete re-
 moval of all traces of former bitterness
 between himself and the Prince of
 Wales, are of international importance and destined to play an important role
 iii the maintenance cf the peace of the
 world.
 Lord Crewe, the home rule viceroy of Ireland during the last Gladstone Rose
 DG4y HdS dI length
 turned his back on that platform, to
 which he is indebted for his transfor- nation from a baron Houghton into an
 Earl of Crewe, that is to say. for his
 promotion of two steps in the peerage.
 True, he has endeavored to explain away his renunciation of home rule in
 a speech which he delivered at Ilford
 the other day. But his explanations
 have baa0 of IitfIa avail S.
 clare and reiterate his assertion that
 no Liberal candidate for parliament
 need pledge himself to vote for any horne rule bill. or in the event of lib-
 eral administration being formed to
 apply pressure on the cabinet for the introduction of any such measure. In
 view of the fact that Lord Crewe is the son-in-law and the intimate friend of Lord Rosebery, the inevitable prime minister of any future lib= ral admins
 tration, the announcement is impor- tant as showing the Irish what they have to expect from the Liberals in the event of the latter returning to power. Lord Crewe will be remembered in this country as the Bobby Mines" who ac- companied his father, the first Lord Houghton. during the latter's two memorable trips through the United States.
 AprOpos of the Irish, I may mention that considerable sensation was ere ated at the last levee held by the Duke of York at St. James Palace, by the ap- pearance of MT. James l.. Carew, the Parnellite and National member of Dublin. It is the first time since the days when Charles Stewart Parnell as- sumed the leadership of the home rule party that any Nationalist member has ever attended a leVee at St. James Pal ace for the purpose of making his bow and presenting his homage to the roy al prince, who Is delegated to represent the sovereign. In fact, the Nationalist members do not even attend the levee of the scpaker of the House of Com mons. and consequently receive no in vitations to the latter's full dress par liamentary dinners. So strict is the rule on the subject which has been es- abolished by the Irish party that even MT. Rochfort Mcguire although mar ried to the daughter of Lord Peel when | the latter was speaker of the House of | Commons never attended the levees | of his father-in-law, or was a guest at | the latter's full dress parliamentary | dinners, the reason being that he occu- | pied seat in parliament for an Irish | Nationalist constituency. Needless to | say that MT. Carew's attendance at the | Duke of York's levee has excited the | fierce indignation of the other Nation | alist members in parliament
 The Earl of Beauchamp, whose ora l torical indiscretions on the subject of | the Dreyfus case and sundry other del- | icate issues since he became governor | of New South Wales have been forgiv- | en by Colonial Secretary Chamberlain ! on account of his youth, has once more | been holding forth al Sydney, this time | on the subject of modern journalism | He denounced the latter as bad in its | tendencies" on the ground that it did | not educate. He declared that he par ticulsrly objected to illustrations be- cause tthey "are not true to lifa"-this | being undoubtedly a shaft aimed at | the number of caricatures of himself |
