BRITAIN WARNS FRANCE.

Plain Words Used in Public by Joseph Chamberlain. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, speaking at Leicester, alluded strongly to statements in the French papers, which he declared were aimed at “what many regarded as almost a sacred person—the Queen—and which may have serious consequences if our neighbors do not mend their manners.” The Secretary believed a triple alliance of the Teutonic race and the two branches of the Anglo-Saxon race would be a potent fuctor in the future history of the world. It would not necessarily be an alliance from the viewpoint of statesmanship, which might be altered in accordance with the changed conditions, but it would be one which, though they might not know it, would be to the advantage of other nations.
