ENGLAND AND FRANCE.
IL That They WIN Soon Have to
Fight France.

London, Feb. 26.-The opinion IL
growing very fast that England ia
speedily drawing close to day Of
reckoning with France and that war
will have to come. Such is the com.
mon talk. That time is placed after
the exhibition. Not one item Of
Frances taunts or gibes will be for
gotten. England, with Chamberlain
at the helm, filled with warlike senti.
ment, which to-day saturates all, even
women and children, will certainly
give France the opportunity which
her newspapers to-day profess to b.
anxious for. That is to try conclu-
sions with this country. This feeling
is all the more strengthened by the
knowledge of an understanding be-
tween the kaiser and queen, which
leaves Germany free action in Asia
Minor in return for England's free
action in South Africa. That the duke
of Orleans should have gone out OF his
way to give an interview to tenth
rate French paper, in which he abuses
England, and that he should have
written to Willette, the artist, con-
graduating him upon the scandalous
caricatures of the queen, is going to
have further results than the pre-
tender anticipated.
