General regret Is expressed at Count

KAISER TO VISIT
HIS UNCLE EDWARD.
Meeting Likely to Improve the
Relations Between Great
Britain and Germany.
INVITATION IS CORDIAL

BERLIN, July 49,
1t may now be considered as certain as
anything in the region Of international
will pay a visit to England in the course
of the coming autumn. The report that
his majesty received an invitation from
king Edward some days ago was perfect
ly correct L Is also the case that the
British soveregn's letter to his imperial
nephew was couched in terms of marked
cordiality. The statement that the en-
peror was asked to participate in the
events Of Cowcs week was, however, be-
side the mark, as the invitation was for
a sojourn at Windsor Castle, and the
month mentioned was November.
To any one who has followed the obvl-
ously sincere efforts of the German gov
crnment during the last few months, and
especially during the presence in the en-
plre of the British journalists and the
deputatlon from the city Of London, to
improve the relations between the two
, countries, there could be little doubt as
TO the answer which would be made to
| King Edwards communication.
| 1t appears, however. that it was not
dispatched till the emperor had had an
opportunity of discussing 1t with the
chancellor during the latters brief stay
| IN, ke Until it is known that the reply
has reached the hands for which it is
| intended it would obviously be improper
for the few persons in the confidence or
the German monarch to speak openly OF
tits contents and, as a matter of fact, ST.
| lence OH the immediate point has been
! vigorously observed.
| At the same time, it requires no ex-
traordinary powers of perspicacity to see
! that the invitation has been accepted and
! that considerable Importance is attached
/ TO the meeting which will be its conse-
! qucnce. 1t may also be taken for granted
that the emperor is much pleased at the
prospect of paying another visit to Eng
! Hand, for which. as well as Its monarch,
ne is known to have a very high admira-
] ton.
1t is felt in official circles that recent
! Inequalities have contributed a good denl
to remove the misunderstanding between
/ Great Britain and Germany, and it is
hoped that the emperor's experiences dur
ing his stay at Windsor will have the re-
suit of placing the relations between the
two countries on a footing of more en-
during stability than they have occupied

LON DUN, July ID.
Pitiful stories OF dire poverty were re-
lated yesterday at n meeting of the Unit
ed Kingdom Benefcient Association, to
provide annuities for poor gentlefolk
held at Sir Edward and Lady sassoon's
house, In Park lane.
The duke of Norfolk, who presided, an
nounced that although the king had all
ready given a life donation of $685. he had
sgnihed his intention of subscribing $50
annually to show his sympathy with the
movement.
Then the duke spoke Of the terrible
conditions of poverty to be found among
middle-aged gentlefolk, whose privntions
the society strove to relieve.
Dependent on Charity.
He mentioned the case Of u hospital
nurse who saved every penny and worked
herself into a hopeless condition Of Ill
health so that she might start her brother
in a profession. She was row an invalid,
and dependent on tho annuity of SIPS
provided by the association.
Another woman had been brought to
such straits by the anxious condition of
affairs in Ireland that she has been
obliged to sell her hair.
"This society sends little rivulets into
tho arid plains OF these peoples lives,
and l commend 1t to your charity" the
duke of Norfolk concluded.
Mr. Osborn, secretary to the aSsocia-
ton, was vsbly affected as he related a
