London, Nov. 9.- The Speaker devotes much space to the recent election In the United States, ft says, in part: "Once more a great .people has justifled the trust reposed in it by the frlends of popular government and has exhibited its honesty, sobriety and common sense. But we think that, exoept his late opponent, McKinley is the least promising candidato in the history of the United States. He is the creature of the monopolists." The writer in the Speaker holds that the outlook in the United States is still disquietlng, and he gravely discusses the probability of secession; but he says he does not believe this will occur in the near future, adding: "The seceding states might have free trade, but they would be unable to obtain capital cxcept at ruinous rates." The article concludes: "It seems certain that jingoes like Senator Lodge will be called into fhe oabinet and that England's relations with the United States may agaln become bitter." Will Acceutuate Grlevancei. London, Nov. 9.- The Daily Mail also has a Berlín dispatch which contains au interview with United States Ambassador Edwin F. Uhl. When he was askec'. if a tariff war -was likely to result from Mr. McKinley's election, Mr. Uhl said: "The question of tariff did not cut imuch. figure in the contest. It was put altogether aside in tne presence of graver questions. The election has resulted in an emphatic repudiation of the dangerous utterances of the Chicago platform and in the complete vindication of Mr. Cleveland's policy. The beneficial effect of the assurance of a sound-money policy has already Deen feit in America's great benefits here in Germany and also here in Europe." The Saturday Review, in an article on the election, says: "Putting aside the silver question, Mr. McKinley is just the man to acceniuate the grievances which created the populist party. Hls governorship of Ohio is admitted to have been. grotesquo to the verge of pathos. Unless all signs fail he will be wax in the hands of the Kreat trusts and monopolies, just as the congress elected wita him will be eager to re-enact the prohibitive tariff -which the manufacturing rings have paid for in enormous advances to the McKinley campaign Lund. These things produced the revolt in 1892, and a still more impressive uprising may be expected in 1900." OpinloiiB at Berlín Vary.
