LONDON, March 2l.-Reports of the scandal
at Pau are confirmed. Mrs. Nelson Win
throp on Ash Wednesday abstained from
going to church on the plea of indisposition,
stating that she intended to breakfast with
her mother, who is now residing at Pau, Sc
riously i'll, and afterward dine with a friend.
Mrs. Winthrop added that her husband need
not come for her. The next morning
the maid announced that her mis-
tress had net returned during the
night. a note was meanwhile found ad-
dressed 10 Mrs. Winthrop's sister, saying
that it would be useless to expect her, be-
cause she had gone away forever. On the
same day Count Gontqut Biron also left for
Pau, telling his wife, the Countess Gontaut
Biron, nee De Polognac, that he intended to
visit Blarritz and there spend the day. but
the Count took large trunk full of cloth
ing with him. The lady left three children
at Pau and the Count two. 1t is supposed
that the fugitives have gone to Spain. Mrs.
WinthroD's husband left Pau immediately
Much sympathy is felt in Paris for Mr..
Winthrops mother, who is residing there;
also for Mrs. Van Zandt, Mrs. Winthrop's
mother. Mime. Gontaut is most philo-
sophical She expects her runaway hus-
band to return alone, and announces her in
tention to receive him in that event.
An occasion of great pomp is expected on
Wednesday when the Queen lays the found
alton of the new examination hall in con-
nection with the College for Surgeons on the
Thames embankment. His Grace the Arch
bishop of Canterbury officiates in the dedi-
cation ceremonies. Her Majesty is expected
to pass the season in London, and il is now
de initely decided that the jubilee or fiftieth
anniversary in June, 1887, of her accession
to the throne, will be conducted on a scale of
great magnificence. The corporation of Lon
don is arranging for a week of festivity on
that occasion in which to publicly welcome
and entertain the hosts OF visitors who are
expected from the colonies especially from
Canada. There will be a grand exhibition
OF the products and manufactures OF all
sections of Her Majesty's domains. One of
the most impressive features of the jubilee
will be a solemn special service of thanks
giving and praise at St Paul's Cathedral, in
which ali the dignitaries of the church will
take part, and the Lord Mayor of London
will be present in his official capacity. This
will be followed by a season of gayety, in
Guiding numerous grand balls at the Man.
sion House and other festivities. The event
| is expected to greatly stimulate the trade
and industry, not alone in the metropolis,
bet throughout England.
Every one is axious and expectant, wait
| ing for Mr.. Gladstone to unfold his plan.
| Another incident showing the insuberdi-
| nate tone OF the new House occurred Friday
night. One hundred and nine members
voted in favor of depriving the Ministers Of
the power of declaring war without the pre-
vious consent of Parliament. The Govern
ment escaped defeat only by six votes.
Great indignation was expressed among the
Conservative element at this display OF rev.
olutionary temper. This vote may be safe
ly regarded as more writing on the wall. !"
If the democracy continues to progress in
this fashion, May Fair will be obliged to
emigrate to Central Park. No self-respect-
ing Conservative will be able TO live in
Britain.
Apart from this little ripple, all the po-
lItical interest completely centered in Mr..
Chamberlain revolt. Infor nation from the
lest Radical sources indicate that all hope
of patching up peace is at an end. Mr..
Chamberlain thinks the time for smashing
Mr. Gladstone has come, and.means TO stake
his political fortune on the issue. 1t is one
of the secrets of la haute politique that a 81
lent war has for some time ragged among the
leaders of the English Liberals.
