THE (ZAR AND THE KAISER. The visit of the German Kaiser to his imperial brother, the Russian Czar, has | been made an occasion for effusive declarations on the part of each of a determins- tion to maintain the peace of Europe. Notice is giver that existing conditions will be continuved, and that the imperial allies will make a common cause against any | power which threatens to disturb them. Russia and Germany are agreed, and other h them or accept their hos:iity. in favor of peace mean something more than a pre- £ ional war. They mean the suppression of that growing liberalism which threatens to disturb every despotism in Europe. They mean the continuance of the old order of things, the maintenance of impertal rule and the continuec sub- of the people. They mean that the forces of imperialism wiil stand together | t which may be made for national independence in subject coun- | tries, or for individual liberty amoug peoples whose national existence is secure. two Emperors bave spoken for the conservatism of Earope.

Her answer was that she wes familiar with the writ- ing of her departed husband, and to the best of her belief the insiroment was gen- ume. Aitorney Delmas, who, by the way, spent but a few minutes in court jester-| day, owing to pressing business in obe of the Federal courts, offered en abjection at this juncture to the reopening of the Has- kins will contest.
