No doubt there Is tension In nany of the lniternatlonal relational but that is always present; and dlptn. waits are growing more reasonable It Is probUble that What Was been said if tha Character of Nicholas Is in the naln true; and this should lead him to follow in the footsteps of his Illustrious father and maka Russllla still the dic tator of psac. No man will be rah enough to say that war may not come. Every one of the continents has spots where an occi dental outbreak, the blunder of an over, zealous servant, may work such hard' ship, actual or ideal, to some great power as shall call for an excited de mand for reparation. It is then that cool heads If not thick skins, are In demand; and it is then that the effer vpscenn of Journalists In search of cur culatkm or notoriety, does most harm. The human animal, according to his kind, la the silliest of all animals, If we measure him rightly; I know of no other that is capablo of suoh Irflatlonal freaks; and It la on these Writ peiace or war hangs by a hair. But, to resume, I di not believe, despite all the talk, that there is In the present status of the world a set of conditions that will lead to early war. The Grand Duks of Daden, who has shown his anger at the dismissal of Count Caprlvl by Enhperor William, la, with the possible exaction of the King of Saxony, the most popular and lnflu erttlal ruler In aermuny. He married the only daughter of the old Emperor William, and has always been an out spoken admirer of Prince Bismarck. It will be a sorry tiring for the kuiser If h fails to appease him, as his In fluer.ee In the maintenance of German unity has been greater than that of ar.y other German ruler. He is consid ered one of the hondaomest princes In Europe. TODAY'S WEATHER. Portland. Dec. 8.
