To Gcrnlany's Advantage.

London, Oct. 2l.-'I believe" said En-
peror William recently, chat it is to Ger
many's advantage for England to have
the Boer republics"
The complete accuracy of this import
ant quotation, which gained strength be-
cause it was not said for the sake of
Modifying some English diplomat, is
vcuched for. The remark was made in
the course of conversation between the
emperor and leading German whose add
vice in matters of commercial policy his
majesty greatly relies on and who, by the
way, is not lover of Great Britain and
her works. Through a recent visit of this
individual to England the Associated
Press secured knowledge of what may be
fairly described as the emperor's candid
opinion of the South African matter.
For several days the English and con-
tinental papers have contained hints, and
even assertions, that Russia, France and
Germany are contemplating joint action
with the idea of coercing Great Britain
into at least a government for the Beers.
This last revival of rumors has even af
fected the markets in England. Whether
Russia and France ever contemplated
stances under which Emperor William
such action is not known, but the circum-
spoke elfectually and definitely disposes
of all possibility of any European inter
vention, for it is acknowledged on all
sides that Russia and France would not
act without Germany.
