THE ANGLO-GERMAN.
AN ALLIANCE SAID TO HAVE
BEEN MADE.
Utta ol the Oerraaa Ambaador to
Mr. Balf oar tho Probable Cauae of the
Rumor How the Call Are Other
win Explained.
London, Sept. 3. A report was cur
rent hero to-day that a treaty of al
llanco between Great Britain and
Germany, upon the lines of the speech
of Mr. Chamberlain, tho secretary of
state for tho colonics, was actually
completed yesterday.
This probably la an amplification of
tho gossip relative to tho dally visits
of Count von Hatzfcldt-Wcldcuburg,
the German ambassador, to tho British
foreign office during tho last fortnight,
which havo been attributed to a de
sire upon tho part of Germany and
Great Britain to formulate a common
policy In regard to Russia and China.
Tho Pall Mall Gazette says It has
received Information from a source in
which it has every conflilunco that tho
Anglo-German agreement was signed
this week by Mr. Balfour and tho Ger
man ambassador in behalf of tho re
spective powers
Continuing, tho Pall Mall Gazette
says that while the agreement is re
stricted, it embraces an offensivo and
dcfenslvo alliance in certain eventual
ities. Tho Pall Mall Gazette adds: "This
new and momentous departure in our
foreign policy comes as a natural de
velopment of the European situation."
The Pall Mall Gazette then quotes
the speech which Mr. Chamberlain
mado at Birmingham, May 13, bidding
for a German alliance, and continues:
"Latterly it has been evident
from tho tone of tho semi-official
German press that tho two govern
ments havo been drawing closer, and
finally thero wero prolonged confer-
onces between Count Hatzfeldt and
Mr. Balfour. The departure of Count
Hatzfeldt proves that the object of the
consultations has been achieved. Be
sides, Mr. Chamberlain has gone to
America, Lord Salisbury is prolonging
his absence and Mr. Balfour leaves for
his holidays on Saturday. Evidently
tho ministers do not cspect to havo to
deal with crucial questions of foreign
policy."
Another explanation of tho German
ambassador's visits to the foreign offlco
here is that they rclato to tho mixed
tribunals of Egypt, tho international
agreement upon the subject ended in
February. Through French and Rus
sian iniluence tho court has always
hampered the British plans for the uso
of tho Egyptian savings and tho ad
vancement of Egypt. Now, it Is said,
an agreement has been almost reached
by which Germany will support tho
British views relative to the future
i composition and powers of the mixed
LT1UUUU1S.
It is said that in return for Ger
many's support in Egypt, Great llritaln
will recognize Germany's claim to
utilize Syria as an outlet for her sur
plus population.
