Hartidgton as the leader of the dissidents
will remain unaltered on his going into the
House of Lords. The papers TEEN with
speculations as to whether Joseph Chamber
lain or Sir Henry James will become the
virtual head of the party. The question,
however, was really settled long ago during
the illness from which the late Duke of
/ Devonshire recovered. Under the con-
currence of Lord Salisbury, who
was vainly negotiating for the
absorption of Lord Harrington, by the
Conservative party, it was determined that
Lord Harrington would retain the actual
leadership, Mr. Chamberlain taking the
lead in the House of Commons, Sir Henry

Tories Like Their Unionist Ally.
| But the Tory leaders have tested Mr..

work in unison with them. Conservative
members generally admit his frankness and
| integrity as a co-worker, while the Union

debater. His less known qualities as
tacticcian, and his personal courtesy and
| mental alertness, however, make him the
only possible commander of the party in the
House of Commons.

Harrington, expressing regret at the death
Of his father, the Duke of Devonshire, and
recalling their long period of political

Duke, though Mr.. Gladstone himself and
Mr.. Morley will be unable to be present.

is now somewhere in the south of
France. But for her being Sir |
Henry James goddaughter, she would
now have been lying in prison |
awaiting trial for perjury and theft. |
Relatives of the woman are arranging a |
for the $3.50 he paid for the stolen pearls. |
These have been restored to Major and Mrs. |
Hargreaves, who have now returned to |
Torquay to quietly lionize in society.
Engelhart's position toward Mrs Har-
greaves is explained as that of an old friend |
of the family The stories of his impe-
curiosity are denied. The stables over |
which he lived indicated wealth instead of
poverty. They are model buildings, fitted |
up with every luxury Of man devoted to |
