Thank you. Let me say at once, then, that I have reason to bel that your government has recently proposed to the court of Berlin an pffcnrlve alliance against England, with a view to compelling us to evacuate Egypt in your favor.' T was thunderstruck at the accuracy of his information. " ‘But. my lord, this Is seme chimera, delusion." I cried, affecting the utmost Incredulity. 'Such an idea is too travagant for a feuilieton!' "Lord Soames smiled coldly. “ 1 have already said that 1 do not ask you to commit yourself, my dear baron.' he replied. T will assum you prefer it, that ell this Is news to Ton. But you have not yet heard what I wanted to tell you. As you know.

"He gazed at me in bewilderment. “ 'Why, Prirce von Bismarck informed me'—be began, and stopped short, chill'd by the look. “ 'Bismarck informed you that be was acting under the kaiser's Instructions. But what assurance have you that this was not part of the trick?' “ 'You must be right.' be exclaimed at length. The kaiser never has referred to the matter, though I have twice conversed with him since it broached.' T was satisfied. It only remained lor me to put in execution the which I had conceived. "The following moralng found me at the Imperial palace. "As soon os 1 had sent up my name. I was ushered up the great main strlrcore of the palace to the first landing stage and -brought Into his majesty's privste cabinet. The kaiser, as I entered. started up from a table on which lay the design of a battleship, and welcomed me with effusion. "I thought It well to commence by administering a compliment. “'My government,' I observed, 'entertains sentiments of the most profound respect for your majesty, and it believes that you cberieh no hostile feeling toward France.’ “'Your government Is right,’ he interjected. ‘So long as France conducts herself with propriety, and refrains from indulging in disturbing projects, sbe may assure herself of my good will.' "1 affected to receive this condescension with delight “ 'Ah, sire,' i exclaimed, ‘If my trymen could only bear those gnu lous words! Such kindness makes my present mission easy. It Is no doubt an irregular thing tor my government to communicate with your majesty, except through the official channels. Our excuse la the high regard In which France bolds your majesty personally, and the belief that In mutters of foreign policy It Is no tougar the Prince von Bismarck who exercises sole trol.' "The emperor drew himself up. " T am the only person who exercises sole control in my empire.' to remarked with haughtiness. ‘My chancellor simply acts under my iustruotlons.' '"Bo my government was ensured, site, and that being so. It entertained a negotiation which, bad it proceeded from the initiative of Hen von Bismarck. we should h_v.) unhesitatingly declined.'
