London, Nov. 16.-England is witnessing the
striking contrast between royalty in being and
royalty unemployed and in exile. King Edward
who IN the course of his short reign has made
London the most brilliant and influential capital
in Europe represents most conspicuously the
modern spirit Of the moral responsibility Of
power France trusts him absolutely, and conse-
guently does not resent either the splendid re-
ception OF the German Emperor and Empress
the formidable muster Of royalties at Vale
Eveshatt for the marriage Of the representatives
of once powerful reigning families.
The coincidence of the two events has enabled
him 20 emphasize the fact that he is laborng
strenuousIy for the restoration of the neighbory
relations of European powers and has given him
ample reason for sighting the fortunes Of exiled
monarchy at Wood Norton, where Prince Arthur
Of Connaught alone represents him. Princess
Henry OF Battenberg attending the wedding as
the mother OF the Queen of Spain. The ban
quets, theatrical big shoots and other festiv-
ities at Windsor have been managed with
blend of distinction and cordially for which
the Kings arrangements for royal entertain
rnent are always distinguished
These have been, perhaps, the stateliest and
most sUmptuous functions ever conducted at
Windsor. and the primary object is the estab-
lfshment of friendly relations between England
and Germany; yet the King has shown how
intensely human he is. how free from social
prejudice and how flexible in method Conspic-
uous among the guests of honor invited to meet
the German Emperor was John Burns sturdy
workman by birth and training, who once car
ried the socialist flag from Westminster Abbey
10 Trafalgar Square The German Emperor
has also shown himself working sovereign
animated by the spirit OF Cancellation and tact
full in word and act. He and the Empress have
been looking at the pictures in the Wallace col
lection to-day. receiving the tribute of the Lon
don County Council lunching al the Embassy
House. and visiting the German Athen@um.
While it is doubtful whether time has been
found for definite diplomacy during the visit.
ii is probable that the two foreign offices will
profit by the oonciliatory temper of both coun-
tries and settle minor controversies in West
Africa and elsewhere. The EInperor's rest cure
on the south coast has quickened the energies
of the rumor mongers. and inspired silly inven-
tions about an operation by the throat spe-
Ciast, Sir Felix Simon. The Empress would
not go 20 Holland and Berlin if any surgical
treatment were contemplated. The American
Ambassador, who had long talk with the En-
peror at Windsor. was impressed with his physi
cal vigor.
The German Emperor is going 10 Highcliffe
Castle for a fortnight's rest, taking a staff
of tIlirty-two men Of the civil, military and
naval services with him. The owner Of the
castle viii be on the ground to enable them to
see the country to the best advantage, and they
will spend their time shooting. motoring. riding
and exploring the shire Highclife has sunny
