SAYING NOTHING
ENGLISHMEN WHO HIPED FOR
AMERICAN FREE TRADE.
RESULT GENERALLY POPULAR.
England Friendly to Mckinley,
Though Free Trade Would Suit
Them Well.

New York, Nov. "a dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: There was
aess excitement in the American corner o.
the stock exchange than on tine previous
days. Americans opened strong ana
there was no reaction from the highest
price, but the movement was cieaarly
speculative and to some extent Artificial.
Th effects of President MclNinley's re-
election had been discounted in advance
ana The bu,k Of the buying was on Amer
lean account and was designed to sstiffen
prices in New York. The English press
is still commenting on the magnitude of
the republican victory. Much good feet-
ing toward America is displayed and the
result of the election is evidently popular
in England. One or two journals insist
that the American people have been con-
verted to imperialism but the majority of
the leader writer's say that there is no
Khaki enthusiasm in the United States.
If there We're any Ilngiishmen who
We're hoping that the force OF competition
across the Atlantic might be broken
through the Suspension of existing poll
cies they have kept silent. There is a
growing feeling that direct taslation here
has reached its limit. that the income tax
payers cannot be ed further, and that a
tariff may become necessary as a means
of raising money for naval ornaments
ana for consolidating the empire.
Lord Salisbury, having ~reorSanized the
cabinet will be prepared tonight to break
his silence at the Guildhall banquet and
make his earliest on the Brit
ish elections, the Aaglo-German alliance
and other leading questions. He rarely
prepares himself for important speeches
but generally creates the impression that
he is quietly thinking aloud on the spur
OF the moment, The American Ambas-
sailor will attend the banquet and a
hardly avoid referring to the American
elections.
Lord S~alishury's reference to China is
awaited with anxiety, in consequence
OF a disturbing report tina, the Russian
consul has informed his associates that
land opposite tho British and German
settlements in Tien Tsin has bean an
nexed. This DISCREET is probably railway
property and the action of the Russian
consul is considered here as tentative
rather than final. 1T is hardly credible
that Russia has adopted the arbitrary
course of a~nneNing a portion of Tian
Tsin without consultation with the other
powers
Reference to the Canadian elections is
pretty general in today's papers. The
result is considered,an overwhelming vic
tory for the personality of Sir Wilfred
Laurier, whose action in giving Great
Britain a preferential tariff and placing
five thousand Canadians at Lord Roberts
disposition tnas received widespread APP
proval. The Mail remark that England
has so far failed to. make any-return for
Canadian loyalty. The ST. Petersburg
story of a quadruple agreement as a set
off to the Anglo-German alliance in
China, is characterized as a fabrication
IN Berlin. 1t has not been commented
upon here.
Warned by the rdisgraceful scenes which
attended the return of the City Imperial
Volunteers. the military authorities are
e~adeayoring to guard against a similar
demonstration on the occasion of the ar
rival of the other British soldiers from
South Africa. The war office has en-
gagged a vast west end building known as
as a camping ground for colo
NAL troops, and instead of marching
main streets of the metropo-
lis, they will be detained at KensinetOn,
and moved without delay into their pro-
posed headquarters alongside the sta
ton.
General Butler will probably arrive to-
might in time to attend the corporation
banquet at Southampton and in anv
event he will have the honors of a. mill
tarv reception by the troops of a garri-
sonttoWn and receive the freedom of the
city. He will ave a most remarkable
reception at Aldershot and subsequently,
IN Devonshire. The loyalty of his per-
sonal friends and the pride of the mill
1ary set, of which he has been a. conspic-
uous will suffice to bring
ABOUT these results. Military history
