London, Sept. - a. m-The English press
5again divides space between the Presidents last

Gin France. The Standard" has printed the best

comments upon the republican simplicity get

The American Society held a large and infiu-

dignity and sobriety. Mr.. vanduzer being thei

Long accounts are published of the receptionL
which the Car is receiving at the hands of his!
enthusiastic ally. English newspapers in
icned to scoff at the spectacle of a French re-
publican bowling the knee before the Russian!
Bautocrat who at this very moment is engaged
ain destroying the constitutional liberties of thef
people of Finland. There is tendency to re-
gard the dual alliance a one-sided affair in
while Frenchmen do all the shouting. 1t is in
decd a matter of general belief in this country
THAT the imperial visit to Compiegne will be
Followed by the floating Of a Russian loan
the greater part of which will be placed in the
hands of French creditors.
The heartiness of the Canadian reception of
sthe Duke of Cornwall causes great satisfaction K
(which is reflected by the English press. Sir5
sWilfrid Laurier is regarded the most repre-
sentative colonial statesman. and there will bes
Imuch disappointment if he does attend the
coronation next year. Public opinion of the
.Duke of Cornwall has steadily risen during his3
circuit of the empire. but the speeches made bys
shim in Canada are regarded the most sa Il
sgacious of the entire series. Precisely twelvef
months have elapsed since Queen Victoria's an +
|nouncement that the Duke would visit the prin
Icipal dominions beyond the seas.
The celebration of the thousandth year of the
death of Alfred the Great begun yesterday
bat Winchester in chastened spirit, owing TO
sthe general mourning for Mckinley. Represen-
1tatives of many learned bodies were present 4
but the number of American educators was3
smaller than had been expected. The Americana
Ambassador who had taken warm interest ing
sthe affair has been forced to cancel his engage
Iment Tomorrow will be the chief cay of al
unique festival of the Anglo Saxon race.
