EUROPE SAID TO BE EXCITED
OVER THE INCIDENT.

London, March No fresh light upon
Emperor Williams letter to Lord
Tweedmouth, in which it is charged
his majesty made an attempt to IN
fluence legislation upon the British ma
val estimates, is expected until Lord
Tweedmouth makes his promised state
ment on the occurrence IN the house
of lords next oMnday.
There is great curiosity as to whether
the first lord of admiralty will read
what Emperor William wrote If the
substance of the letter is inoffenslVe,
the language may be so informal that
the emperor would prefer that 1t be
not spread before the eyes OF the peo-
pie at large. It ; is still held today
that the immediate cause of the en-
peror's letter was another letter writ
ten to Lord Esher, who is a member
of the encourage of King Edward, in
which he said:
There is not a man in Germany,
from the emperor down, who would
not welcome the fall of Sir John
Fisher"
Sir John is senior naval lord of the
admiralty.
Hugh Cecil Lee, a Liberal member
of parliament. has given notice OF a
question to the premier, asking whether
he will consent to lay the whole of
the correspondence upon the table and
explain fully the circumstances and
facts contained with the proceedings"
Several other members have given
notification OF similar questions. The
incident of the empeTOT's letter has
created a sensation throughout Eu-
rome.
