From this it was concluded here that the reply might not be sent for perhaps a fortnight. .

Notice is taken by the newspapers of the full opportunity that is given Germanv, as some ol tnem express n.. "to save' her face," and some measure of surprise is expressed why Mr. Bry an should have considered it necessary to resign as secretary of state after having signed the first note. The Daily Telegrapn says. rrv, -niHf nf the second note is ex actly that of the first, and it leaves us to wonder even more man -w um fore whv Mr. Bryan thought it neces nrv tn resign. There is nothing of a minatory character in the note, noth ing that the most fervid imagination could construe into a challenge or ul timatum. The tone througnoui. is n.n only diplomatic but friendly. The phrases are those of appeal and warn ing, rather than or stern ceiium-iai... "To have been content with any thing less than the assurances de manded would hardly have been con sistent with the self-respect of the American nation."'
