SIR EDWARD THORNTON'S
WASHINGTON LIFE.
His Entertainments Gorgeous and
He was Itonized in Society.


He was Lionized in Society.
From the Neqo York Werld.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Sir Edward
Thornton, who has just been recalled in
disgrace by the English government from
Constantinople, was for many years in
charge of the British legation here. He
was succeeded by the present Minister,
Sir Lionel Sackvllle West. Sir Edward
is about six feet tall, stands very erect,
and was regarded in Washington as
model OF department. His hair is nearly
white and Is parted in the middle. His
whiskers are of the mutton-chop order.
and are nearly as gray as his hair. Light
gray eyes, prominent nose and heavy
jaw are the chief features of his face. Dur
ing his stay at the capital be was the lion
of Washington society. His wife is an
accomplished woman.
The British Minister receives a salary
of $50, 600 year, and Sir Edward spent
it lavishly. The receptions at the British
legation during his stay in Washington
were much sought after. These enter
tainments made the foundation OF Sir Ed
wards diplomatic reputation. There has
been absolutely no opportunity of late
years for a diplomat to learn anything of
diplomacy in Washington. The Ameri-
can capital has been called the "Botany
Bay" OF diplomacy, and at no other capi-
tai can be found such formidable array
Of broken down diplomats. Not one Of
them. perhaps, with the exception of Mr..
De Struve, could hold position as an en-
bassador to third-rate European power.
Sir Edward had nothing 10 do but pose
in Washington, and he aid that very well.
II he had been contented to remain where
be was he would in all probability never
have been found out, and could have con-
tinued in the role OF a great statesman in
definitely. Sir E. Thornton was friend
of Gladstone In early days, and IL was
through this friendship that he secured
his transfer to the Bosphorus. His APP
pointment to Constantnople was some
thing OF surprise TO Thornton's friends.
Many OF them predicted his failure at the
time. They knew that 1t required some
thing more than department and dinners
TO cope with the willy representatives of
the Gar at the Turkish capital.

The situation tonight remains unchanged
from yesterday. Everybody is looking for
developments during the next few days, and
the market continues dull and featureless in
consequence. No progress having been made
IN the meeting at chicago, IL was not the FAC
tor TO day as regards values, but the coal
situation receives the most attention just at
present. and further reports of rate cutting
affected coal stocks unfavOraby, enabling
room traders to break Lackawanna ami New
Jersey Central. A sharp advance at the
close yesterday was discouragIng to the bears
and gave heart to the advocates Of higher
prices, the effect being seen in this mornings
opening. But the market is at best q scalp
ers' market for the present, and fluctuations
have little significance. Al the opening this
morning prices were generally higher, the
advance ranging from y to "a per cent, the
latter for New York Central, while Omaha
was down 4, New Jersey Central and North
ern Pacific preferred "a each, and Union Pa
cifc and Delaware and Hudson IA per cent.
each. There were some further slight adj
vances in the early dealings, but Lackawanna
was pre- scd for sale, New Jersey Central fol-
lowing, and within the first half hour the
former was down "a per cent. and the latter
"a. The decline was then checked ana the
life was taken out Of the market, which con-
tnued duh and featureless throughout the
remainder Of the DAY, being extremely firm
and heavy and finally closing steady close 10
the opening figures. The business Of the day
shows a loss Of y 900 shares as compared with
that of Yesterday, the total sales amounting
TO 1853, 1873 shares, Final prices generally show
advances over those OF yesterday OF small
fractions on the active list, while Norfolk and
stocks. WnlCn NTKaDlV

following are the closing quotations:
