GERMANY.

The safety of the Kaiser during his visit to England at the beginning of the month was very thoroughly guarded. In these days when it is the fashion for royalties to pay more frequent diplomatic visits to their neighbours, the anarchist, who rarely loses an opportunity to take a pot-shot at big game, has to be reckoned with, and stringent steps taken to frustrate his evil intentions. The Germans expected much from this visit. They see that they have gone too far in their unreasonable severe attack of Anglophobia, and their characteristic caution, hitherto cast to the winds, now demands that steps be taken to counteract, if possible, the evil already accomplished. The Kaiser certainly acted his part in all good faith. He has always regretted the lengths to which his subjects have gone in this respect, and certainly spared no pains while in England to make a good impression.
