LONDON, February 16.-In English poll

past week. The professional politicians

friends in the Tory party, which he Joined
SO as to be respectable as we'll as rich. but
which has always been little cold to him.

His speech, of which a report has just
reached me, is devoted to praise of Balfour.
Chamberlaid. man of one eye-glass, but
many coats, enthuses at Balfour's combina-
tion of knowledge and courage. He finds
that the thin-legged, cold-blooded Scotch
man, who considers it joke to maltreat
earnest patriots and his own colleagues in
the House, as in the case of O'Brien, is a
noble man, upholding every sacred cause
against the vicious element and disorder.

Congressman Norwood Protests Against the
Panama Canal Resolution.
WASHINGTON, February 16.-Repre-
sentative Norwood, of Georgia, has. drawn
up an elaborate minority report in opposi-
tion to tie passage of the Senate Panama
Canal resolution by the House.
The report objects to the resolution be-
cause it would be false declaration and
wrong application of the Monroe doctrine;
because 1t is aimed at a sister republic. and
because it would commit the United States
to position impolitic and wholly untena-
BILE. The report closes with the suggestion
that possibly there is more thrift than
patriotism in the resolution.

among Englishmen, and there is no doubt that
the players will receive hearty welcome. Al

are looking anxiously about for writer's who
know enough of baseball to report the game

the American baseballers are professionals

LONDON, February 16.-The Parnell
commission lately has shown to the Tories
what the higher class of human beings knew
before, that the only leg the Times has to
stand on is a poor one named Piggott, and
also shows that the Times has been wasting
money, throwing it about in the most stupid
fashion, for the benefit Of the forgery-mong-
ers and the lawyers in the field, to hunt up
willing perjurers. 1t is now plain that the
only effect of this money wasting was to get
Times into disgraceful tangle, involving
heavy loss, and this combination has sad
dened the hundred odd Times shareholders,
who were not consulted, but whose pockets
supplied the money. They are not numer-
Gus, but they are very emphatic and their
grief is noisy.
When all is over Walker and Buckle and
all the rest who managed the forged letter
business will be called to an accounting.

Twelve English Jurymen Decide That the

rBY CABLE TO THE D1sPATcH.I
LONDON, February 16.-Twelve jurymen
of England, future subjects of the Prince of
Wales, have arrived at a decision which
was correct but not complimentary. An
umbrella maker refased to pay for highly
colored engraving of the Prince and Princess,
which had been supplied him, on the
ground that the Princes nose had been
made red and his face puffy. This, he
thought, was inexact and unpatriotic.
The poster was exhibited in court. and the
nose was undoubtedly very red and the
cheeks very puffy, but the jurymen never
theless decided that it was like their future
ruler, and made the advertiser of the UNI
brella pay 10 guineas for the picture.

Wrote the Bismarck Stuff:
fBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.1
LONDON, February 16.-It is comical to
observe that the English newspapers are
still wondering who wrote the Bismarck
article in the Contemporary ReUieao. Mr..
Stead, who, as L informed you upon
the day the article was published,
two weeks ago, was the writer. has been
very cleverly advertising and interviewing
himself all the while. To-day Tanity Fair
wisely says that Countess Won Bothmer,
whose name is one of the many associated
with the authorship of the article, couldn't
possibly have written it, as she was too i'll,
some time before its publication, to do any
literary work.
The Contemporary Reuie,o people are
rather disguised that the identity of the
writer should have leaked out, as they were
credited with having, at different times,
had nearly every great parsonage in Eu-
rope for contributor to their columns, and
it has been rather a sad fall from the En-
press Frederick to Mr.. Stead.

A Burlesque Battle.

In my endeavors to form an honest and i'm
partial opinion about the contest have waded
through columns of accounts of it. OF course
Chicago accounts were all Myer; and Eastern
accounts left no doubt about McAuliffe's being
the better man. There have been impartial ac-
counts, however, written by gentlemen who,
doubtlessly, know what prize fight is when
they see one and it is to these gentlemen that
the public and myself are indebted for some
thing like an unvarnished story of the battle.
After reading these plain and unvarni>hed
stories, don't hesitate to say that McAulife
and Myer made one of the most harmless
encounters that seen or read about. In my
way Of thinking it was worse than the affair be-
tween Smith and Kilrain, and very much worse
than that between Mitchell and Sullivan.
Some people may call it a scientific affair, but
will try to show that there was little science
about it; that is if we take one or more of the
many bona fide encounters that have taken
place as standard. OF course there is kind
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS science: that is the
science of not doing thing and in this respect
there is no doubt whatever about the good
quality of the McAuliffe-Myer battle.

LONDON, February 16.-His Lordship,
the Marquis of Ailesbury, famous prin-

divorce for his wife, the Marchioness of

as the most honorable, the Marchioness of
Ailesbury, but is more commonly spoken
of by those who know her as poor little
Dolly Lester. She has had rather a rough
time of it since she gave up her position as
a popular ballet girl to marry blackguard
peer.
1t is possible that the Marquis may have
sufficient technical grounds for divorce,
but inasmuch as she has been much better
in every way than he deserved, it isn't
likely that he will find any judge or jury
willing to give him an opportunity to begin
life in an unmarried sense over again. Such
a case, if brought to trial, would be very in
