language. This official said:


We have no documentary evidence to prove
that any power other than the one which for
n ally approached US was concerned in this sf-
Tort to send a collective note TO the United
States the purport of which however polite
the wording, must naturally have been that OF
a threat.
We had at the time, however every reason to
believe that this power was merely put forward
as sort of buffer in order sound Us. and
that France, Germany and Russia were behind
her. and only awaiting assent formally TO
announce their own. We have never had rea-
TO change that belief. which in the OF
France, amounts TO moral certainty There are
a hundred and one diplomatic secrets which.
pieced together, convinced that our estimate
OF the situation was correct and doubtless there
documents IN the European chanceleries
which detail the negotiations that occurred prior
to our being approached. Subsequent dipio-
matte reports convinced US that not only was
the collective note dropped on account OF our
refusal, but that we incurred not a little enmlty
because our action was sufficiently patent 10
obviate all necessity OF our actually haVinS
possession Of copies Of those diplomatic inter
changes, which resulted in our being asked to
sign the second protest 70 America.
Opinion in the Foreign Office is somewhat d.
vided as to the sdvisability Of to-days
nounce1nent in the House of Commons. several
high officials of this Office believing this
nouncennent will only tend to strain the rela-
tions between Great Britain and the Continental
powers.
Mr. Norman said:
I am delighted to get such an Unexpectedly
frank and important answer. Ny question was
down for the opening day Of the session. but
the government asked me TO postpone IL until
to-day. I did so. but with little hope OF securing
a definite pronouncement, for such Things are
usually arranged between the government leader
and one cf his supporters. While, OF course l
am Of the most outspoken critics OF our
foreign policy, there was no put up job /
merely wrote the question because l Thought
there more hope OF getting some sort OF
an answer 1T this stage OF affairs than at any
other. I think Lord Cranborne's statement re-
veals a condition of things more serious than
anv one suspected for IL shows that practically
the whole of Europe was ready 70 attempt 70
coerce the United States. even at the FISK OF
war.
After the hostilities with Spain had com
nnenced, the selection Of Austria 70 be spokes-
man for Europe showed excellent tact for our
relations with that country were Of the most
friendly kind. To point blank refuse her must
have cost US little prestige Beyond WnaL
Lord Cranborne said know little. But that l
think sufficient for IL shows the excelient IeeI-
ing Of the British Government IN us reiauohs
Nth the United States which 7 believe to be
the most important relations we have.

At the fifth hour Of the afternoon Miss Ternina
sent word to the management that she indis-
posed and Nine. ReUss-B Belize, who made the trip to
the Pacific Coast with the company, called in
TO take her place. The substitution brought little
compensation with II. The singer has sung
for years at Carlsruhe at theatre which ranks
high In Germany and has made itself talked about
under Motifs direction, by reason OF its progress
sive spirit; also she has received the hallmark Of
Bayreuth, which upon a time a certih-
cate of merit even unto the critically minded She
has had the experience OF what Nine. Marchesi
somewhat felictously called the German
operatic maid OF all work, and is fair exemplar OF
the average German singer. But these fair
emplars responsible for the notion that the
German ideal IN singing is not high one. She
gratihed the lovers Of Wagner's best dramatic text
by enunciating al the words with great distinct
ness. but while doing so she pumped out the music
three four at time. and ended each
fractional phrase with gasp 1t sounded as II a
boy at the organ bellows supplied only intermittent
pufs, and forgot to I'll the reservoir even once.
Her voice has little charm, and II was only the
earnest purpose and self-sacrihcing willingness
that commanded respect.
