King Displeased.
Although King Edwards political opln-
ions are actually advanced radica., and
he Is on friendly terms with the present
liberal premier. Sir Henry Campbell
Zimmerman. MS views on army policy
diner very much from those OF the
government. He was especially dis
pleased at the decision 20 disband two
battalions OF the foot guards, his pet
corps. His majesty commanded fare
well parade of the doomed Third bat
talon Scots guards at Buckingham pail
ace, and on the lawn he reviewed 100
OF the flower of the army. In touch
ing address to the men, he expressly
laid the responsibility for the disband-
ment upon "rny government" and
hinted at a possible Eeviyal OF the bat
talon. The speech. which was printed
in full IN the court circular, has
made deep impression every
where. so much more as most English
men share his regret at parting with
a fine body OF soldiers
Edward Is Worried.
The King IS greatly worried over the
situation in Russia, so much more as
he is very fond OF the Gar. whose
personal character ana genuine unset
hshness he admires, though he cannot
overlook his weakness. As a constitu-
tional monarch, the King earnestly de-
sires Russia % regain peace by means
OF a just and moderate constitution,
such as England has enjoyed for over
two hundred years. He showed hearty
svmDathy with the douma, and in re
peated letters TO the CZar urged him
10 make peace with his people on che
basis Of a sound constitution and the
REIMBURSEMENT OF his autOcrauc powers
TO a certain extent.
