London, Nov II, a. m-The English press
continues TO regard the German Emperor's visit
with suspicion and distrust He is not lam
pooned or caricatured. but it is generally as
suned that he is here for business purposes. and
that he must not be allowed TO have what he
wants. The conjectures respecting his mission
d.fter widely, but the conclusion IS the same in
tvery instance namely. that the ministers must
be on their guard, and decline all overtures for
joint action Of England and Germany whether
in East Africa, Asia Minor or the Yang-tse Val
ley Public opinion, as expressed by the jour
nals n both parties is so unfrendly 10 Germany
thar t is hardly credible that the ministers
can D- drawn into new diplomatic engagements:
bur conpacts made during the Boer war cannot
be- repudiaJed. The AngIo-German agreement
respecting China not a good bargain for
England but IL has not lapsed in consequence
OF the termination OF the Boer war. and the
difficulties respecting the evacuation Of Shang-
hal are also connected with it There is also a
secret agreement or understanding between the
Two powers respecting East Africa. and possibly
respecting Asia Minor also. These arrange
ments We're made when the ministers were pre-
occupied with the in South Africa and
good
Of the German Emperor. Naturally his interest
IS greater than theirs in disclosing these trans
actions. Meanwhile, the public is dependent
upon court circulars for details Of the royal
party at sandrinsham, and the leader writers
are unduly serious in their warnings against the
insdious wies Of German diplomacy.
Mr. Bafour had enthusiastic reception at
the Guildhall banquet last night. II was his
first appearance at that annual function as
Prime Minister but he did not seize the oppor-
tunity 10 deliver very important pronounce
menL His speech was mainly an appreciation
OF The work Of Mr.. Chamberlain and Lord Lans-
ooWne in their respective capacities as Colonial
Secretary and Foreign Secretary. Mr. Balfour
complained that the German Emperor's visit 10
sandringham had been made the text Of the
widest and most fAntastic inventions in the
columns Of the press. but he took care not TO
say what the object of the visit was and his
speech viii consequently be scanned in vain
for light on the vexed question Of Anglo-German
relations.
The London stock market follows the New
York quotations on the American list as closely
as the difference in time viii allow Saturdays
furry and the announcement Of the formation
Of new Morgan company to complete the uI,-
derwriting for the Shipbuilding Trust created
l-IUCA uncertainty, and there was llStleSS mar
ket here for all American securities What
ever anxieties have been caused by the tension
or the American market, hnanciers here believe
that permanent relief viii be offered by the close
Of the year, when settlements are made for the
heavy exports Of grain from the United States
and Canada, and when the Shipbuilding Trust
payments are finished. The signs Of denoraliza-
rion in American securities yesterday, with the
sympathetic decline in Canadian rails were tenn
porary. while dealers were waiting for the open
ing prices in New-York
The Lord Mayors show blocked the streets
for hours and caused renewal in the business
quarter Of protests against the annual recur-
renee Of ibis Eageant, which has ceased to be
either picturesque or impressive. The protests
are louder this year than usual, since town
shows have become wearisome spectacles for a
jaded public. The Anglo-Japanese alliance was
symbolized by the most interesting car in the
procession.
Sydney WaterloW. attache at the British En-
bassy in Washington. and Miss Alice Pollock
only daughter Of Sir Frederick Pollock, were
married yesterday at Marylebone Church Lady
PoIlocks reception at the conclusion Of the cere-
mony was largely attended, among others pres
ent being the American Ambassador and Mrs
Choate INF
