ENGLAND AND GERMANY,

A GERMAN VIEW,

It is a long time since the English people have talked in such friendly wise of a foreign nation as they now talk of Germany. The leading London newspapers are not flattering an illustrious guest; they are merely expressing the sincere and universal opinion of the nation when they declare with one voice that no foreign Sovereign has ever been so popular in England as Kaiser William I is to-day,

SCEFTAN, CROWN, AND ORB.

Concerning the insignia of Royalty laid on the Queen's coffin, the Daily Graphic states that the crown was "the Imperial State Crown of her Majesty Queco Victoria." This crown will be used at the Coronation, and is of com- paratively moders construction, for it was made in 1838, with jewels frem old crowns, and others furnished by command of her Majesty. There were also two orbs. The fast is called the King's Orb, and is set with 266 diamonds, 511 pearls, 18 rubies, 9 emerakis, and 7 sapphites. The Queen's Orb, as the second orbis called, is smaller and not so valuable. It was inade

Taking, for instance, the aggregate receipts of twenty lines, there is a gain of £1,131,000, but the expenses stand 2.019,000 higher. The cost of fuel alone on these twenty lines was £1,003,000 more, the increase on several systems being as much as so per cont.

In the speeches which King Ed ward made on the one occasion to the Emper or, and on the other to the Crown Prince there is a nota of feeling struck which is more than that of family grief and love-there is a note of sympathy and of union, not only between one Royal House and another, but between land and land, between nation and nation. The conventional expression of sympathy for an occasion is extended to em. brace a friendly recognition of the real meaning of friendship for both parties; the wish for peaceful progress together in the sphere of policy can be easily translated to mean a desire for mutual and united efforts towards the advancement of the two nations. King Edward spoke frankly, "May these two great nations he said, “pass onward, hand in hand, to the great goal, which is the establishment of peace and the advancement of civilisation."

This is not the first time that such words have come from the mouth of an Englishman.- It is just sixteen years since Gladstone, declared in almost the same words that he vielded to none in his admiration for Germany. "I" said he, "Germany becomes a colonising Power, I will be the first to call down God's blessing upon her; Germany and England will be friends and allies for the good of mankind. hail with joy her entry into this new sphere of activity, and am honestly thankful that she will be our companion and helper in the work of spreading the light of civilisation in less civilised countries." These remarkable words of Gizd stone's were quoted in the Reichstar, and the speaker of them was heartily thanked by Bismarck, the same Bismarck whose naine the Anglophobes in Germany have been so ready to oroke when there was any chance of sowing

dissension between the two countries.

He went through the Unyore Campaign of that year and was medal; the Uandi Expedition of 18936, when mentioned in despatches, and received the he was again mentioned in despatches, and received the D.

He served through the Soudan Campaign under Lord Kitchener in 1898, and was present at the battles ofthe Athara and Khartoum, at the latter of which he was slightly, wounded. For his work, during this expedition he was once more mentioned in despatches, and received the Order of the Medjidich, the British medal, and the Khedive's medal with two clasps. Major Vandeleur, who as embodied some of his warlike experiences in a bank entitled "Campaigning on the Upper Nile and Niger," published in 1898, entered the Scots, Guards as Second Lieutenant in 1889; he was promoted Lieutenant in 1897, and Captain in 1899, and last year was trans ferred to the Irish Guards on the formation of the regiment.

To-day the people of both countries have realised that the immediate future of both countries can only be assured by their mutual friendship; that it must be the task of their statesmen to carre out the wishes of the Sovereigns on both sides and the rapprochement between Engine and Germany is not a momentary impulso arising out of a unique occasion,, but a great policy which finds its justification in the assurance of peace for the world, and which has for its abject the furtherance of civilisation.

Then the Kaiser paid a visit to England, and manifested, personally to Queen Victorin in Windsor Castle his sympathy with the English side.
