London, Nov. T. ! m.-ContnentaI rumor-
mongers are still bent upon imparting diplo-
matte significance to the approaching visits of
the German Emperor and the King of Portugal.
One point which the amateur diplomats lay
much stress is the fact that the Portuguese Min
lister in London is intimate friend of the
royal family here. and is in position to facih-
tate the transfer of the East African possessions
OF Portugal to England and Germany This in
timacy does not imply willingness the part
of the Lisbon ministers to court unpopularty by
proposing the alienation of a large section of
their colonial empire The grip of Portugal upon
her colonies has been strengthened since the

window looks out upon Madrid. and no other
capital is seen. Portugal in selling her East
African possessions would be rivalling the de-

Windsor. The German Emperors mission will
be taken seriously for all the important mem
bers of the Ministry invited to meet him.
There will be a series of state functions at
Windsor for the King of Portugal, with a state
banquet in St. Georges Hall and possibly a
chapter meeting of the Order of the Garter.

entertainment will end with the departure

ministers of the Crown and leaders of smart
society being invited in turn to parties at Sand

a blow at Great Britain in the Yang-tse Valley
The Standard" publishes a report Of an inter-
view with Lord Miner. The High Commission
er OF South Africa Is convinced that in their
coal and iron deposits and in their agricultural
development England's new colonies will find
a surer source Of wealth than even in the more
speculative riches of the gold reefs and the dia-
mond fields.
The Cleveland and Liverpool elections are
nasty pills for the government and the Liberal
party is in high feather again. Such big re-
duction IN the Tory majority al Liverpool was
not anticipated by the party managers Of either
side. and the humping majority for the Liberal
candidate at Cleveland clearly indicates the un-
popularity of the Education bin in workaday
