He is opposed to this legislation. He

DISCUSSED TURKEY AND WILL
GIVE NEW REGIME CHANCE
AT REFORM.

London, Aug. 13.-The visits paid
by King Edward to Emperor William
at Cronberg nd to Emperor Francis
Joseph at Ischl, while not likely to
lead to any formal diplomatic trans
actions, are considered highly i'm
portant in official circles, as affecting
the relations of Great Britain, Ger
many and Austria-Hungary
There have been many reports con-
corning the conversations of the mon
archs and the representatives of the
foreign offices of the three countries,
but officials in London yesterday said
that most of these statements could
be dismissed as without particular
value. 1t is quite enough for them
that the relations have so improved
of recent months that for the second
year in succession King Edward has
found it possible to visit the two en-
perors and discuss with them what.

esting at the present time, discus

SILL DSllSI UNDERSTANDINGS
'"There is no doubt" said a British
Official, that Turkey has been one of
the subjects under discussion. This
would assuredly be the fact in a
gathering of any persons interested
in international politics, but there is
nothing to settle between the powers
on this question, as all are agreed
there is but one thing to do, namely,
not to press any reform measures un-
til the new regime has been given a
fair trial. 1t may be that other sub
iects arose for consideration, but if
so we have not ben informed"
1t is understood that King Edward
particularly wished to see Emperor
William to arrange a visit for him
self and Queen Alexandra to Berlin
in return of the emperor's visit to
London, and the king also wanted to
show the Germans by Ais relations
with his roya nephew that the
ententes which had been brought
about with his Influence had not been
aimed against Germany.
OF only Ord nary Significance.
berlin, Aug. 13.-As yet not much
EIore than guesses can be ventured
as to what transpired at the meeting
of King Edward and Emperor Will
lam at Cronberg Tuesday, the for
eign Office going no further in the
matter than to say the sovereigns
parted from each other in the best of
humor and satisfied with the political
as we'll as the personal results of the
days interview. Comment among
diplomats is that it would be wise
not to attach more meaning to this
meeting than to any act that inter
national etiquette from time to time
requires. If the king on his way to
Austria had not called upon Emperor
William while passing through Ger
man territory, they argue, the omis-
sion would have been significant
