THE KING IN GERMANY.
VISIT OF COURTESY NOT OF DIPLOMACY. RUMOURS AS TO WAR MEDIATION. By Telegraph.- Press AisoolaUac.^-Copyriglit. London, June 25. The English newspapers emphasise the point that the visit of King Edward to the Emperor of Germany is one of courtesy and friendship only, and that it conceals no deeper meaning. The German newspapers, which are pretending that Japan desires mediation, are reviving the canard that King Edward attempted during his recent visit to St. Petersburg to treat with Russia for terms of peace op. behalf of Japan. Our London correspondent, writing under date May 20, says There cam* suddenly and without the slightest previous warning, the announcement that King 'Edward was going to visit the Kaiser, to attend the Kiel review, and to spend a full month in Germany, that great preparations wore to be set on foot for his reception with fitting magnificence us Germany's friend, ami that he would receive a most cordial welcome from the Kaiser. Just so! " Edward the Peacemaker" again. He has tackled and conquered Fran™; he will now try his hand on Germany. It will be strange indeed if his unequalled gifts as a diplomatist do not result once more in a "score" for England.
