MENTARy PROSPECTS - SIR ROBERT

BERLAIN-PERsoNAL AND
S0cJAr, GOSSIP


London Jan. 14.-The Prince of Wales and tho
Prime Minister have been IN correspondence regarding
the position of the eldest Of the heir apparent
What negotiations have been made no one quite knows.
but whom Parliament meets 1t is expected that the
announcement will be made that as soon as Prince
Albert Victor decides TO marry an application VIII be
made to Parliament for an allowance for him. IL is
not likely that even the Radicals, who have hitherto
opposed royal grants. will oppose one beng made 10
the eldest of the Prince Of Wales as 1t has always
been admitted that male members OF the royal iamiiy
I'm direct succession to the throne should be provided
for by the State Before, however, any measure for
confering an income on Prince Albert Victor is
passed. some questions viii probably be asked regard
Ing recent savings in the Civil List, as 1t Is not pro-
posed that the young prince shall benefit by them.
EMPERoR FREDERIcK's ESTATE.
Lord Cross was summoned to Osborne last Thurs
DAY for private conference with the queen ana
Empress Frederick concerning t,7 disposal OF that
part Of Emperor Fredericks fortune which was left
to rrustees-Her Majesty, the King of the Belgans,
and tho Duke of saxe-C oburg- Gothafor the benefit
OF the widow and younger children, with the special
direction that 1t be invested In British securities
The late Emperor's fortune was wholly derived rom
his father Kaiser william, and he left large sum 70
the Empress absolutely, out Of which Her Imperial
Majesty has expended about 100000 in the purchase
of residence and estate at Kronberg on the Taunus
4. IRISH MEMBERS IN JAIL
be taken up as soon Parliament meets. Nothing
can be easier than to come 10 such decision, but
good deal Is going on Just now, that may Just
little interfere with its being carried out 1t seems
highly probable that before Parliament meets Mcssrs
| william o Brien, Condor, Cox, Tanner, Long, 'ohn
o'Connor and sheehy VIII be in jail while MessrS e
Harrington and Fnucane are already there. III must
| be A very sangulne Minister who supposes that Mr..
pafour viii DO able TO make this wide sweep Of the
| net without reaonstrapce. Debate on the AddrcsS
nowadays Is generally good for three working weeKs'
even when nothing unusual has happened. II Is
scarcely likely 10 take much less this year when inc
| Imprisonment Of seven or eight Members OF Paria-
| ment during recess VIII have to be gone into. IL
| Mr. Harrington's mustache has been cut of, every
hair of II viii be the cause of a speech some time or
other during the session. Mr. Balfour can scarceN
| expect to have this new Rape Of the LOCK passed
over in silence. Altogether the prospect before the
| Government Is not quito so serene as some oho'a
| organs appear 10 think
THE LEADERSHIP.
| Mr. Smith viii resume his position as Leader OF
the House. and this viii be in accordance with the
] general desire of his party. Naturally there arc
! many Conservatives who would prefer to have one
| Of their own number at the head rather than any
man, however distinguished, borrowed nom the
| opposite ranks DIR. Smith is very much iked per
sonaly IL not particularly brilliant he is always saie'
| He never makes enemies. A leader who tried TO De
smart and epigrammatic might not In the long run
suit the temper Of the House we'll hear Mrsmlth's
health Is fully restored and although he would DOUBT
less like TO be released from the slavery OF leading
the House. there is scarcely any doubt that he VIII
patiently bend bis neck to the yoke DOR yet anoher
session. In doing he viii show loyal ooedence
to emphatic wishes In very high quarters.
THE MoRIER AFFAIR.
The Moricr incident sti continues to excite public
attention generally both here and abroad III is eV-
dent how very much he has incensed Prince BIS
marck, for the bitterness OF the "rcpule press i
unending Many people may not know that slr
Robert has hsd nany opportunities in his diplomatic
posts to come Prince bismarck, but me rear
Quarrel between thom took place In 1866, at Frank
| fort Mr. Morier, as he was then, was quite a.
masterfu and resolue Count Bismarck, and II the
former was only Charge dAHares at Darmstaat'
the other was only the Prusssn delegate there IN
Willingly Prince Bismarck has done Sir Robert
great service. for he has marked him as a man OF
character and discrimination, and his future career
| is now assured.

Mr. and Mrs Chamberlain have gone on visit
TO Lord Harrington at Hardwick, where large party

| Others ere assembled The meeting at Birmingham
| ON Tuesday must have been very gratifying to Mr..
| Chamberlain, for It a genuine tribute rom
his townsmen to him, and very hearty one. Mrs.
Chamberlain won all hearts by her simple, unahcced
pleasure and gratitude for the welcome given her ~
| her new home. One could not help being struck
by the contrast between the slight grlsh bride ana
the stalwaft sturdy siep-children beside her. MI
| Cbsnherlaln was brimming over with happiness and
Standardization and he moro made great point
| of his vtfe,s ancestry, which seems TO Afford hin
| more pleasure than II would have done ton years
| ago.
