New YORK. Dec. Edmund Yates spe-
cial cablegram to the Tribune from London
says: The Queen will not leave England
for the Continent until March 29th OF 3Oth,
and her plans for foreign travel are quite
undecided. The sanitary arrangements
and the water supply of Florence will
scarcely have been organized so soon, and
at present the chances are greatly in favor
of the Queen going to Aix-le-Bains. as the
air of that place suits her admirably and
she is always much better for the baths and
massage treatment. NJ. Dosse, who has
managed the Continental journeys Of the
Queen and the Prince of Wales since the
sudden death OF kanne, has been travelling
alone in the Riviera in search OF a house
which would suit her Majesty as a temporary
residence during April, aud after passing a
few days at Cape Martin Hotel, of which
establishment and its surroundings he dis
patched most favorable report to Windsor.
he went to San Reno and thence to Genoa.
The Queen does not care to pay another
visit to Grasse and will not 20 to Cannes
DOsse was instructed to make inquiries
along the coast between Genoa and Speza
Empress Frederick was formerly a frequent
visitor at beautiful little seaside village
near Porto Fino, and her account of the
beauty Of that district inspired the Queen
with strong desire to visit it. The late
Lord Carnavon built a large villa on the
wooded hills above Porto Fino, but it would
require two such houses to furnish accom-
mediation for the Queen with her suite and
servants.
WILL NOT GO TO DENMARK.
There is not the slightest foundation for
the report that the Queen will go to Dem
mark next May in order to be present at
the golden wedding of King Christian and
Queen Louise, nor is it true that Emperor
William is expected there. Probably the
family gathering to celebrate this anuver-
sary will be postponed to the end of August
The announcement of the approaching
marriage of Duke Clarence and Princess
Victoria Mary Trck has been received with
universal satisfaction. 1t is marriage which
will be more popular, since it is neither an
eccentric nor a sensational one, like some
other marriages which have occurred in the
royal family. Prince George Of Wales is to
go to the seaside to recruit his health as
soon as he is well enough to travel. and the
Queen has offered to place Osborne Cottage
small residences within the royal demeSne,
and has been occupied at various times by
the Princess Of Wales, Empress Eugene
and the Duchess of Edinburgh.
THE KAISER AND HIS MOTHER.
The sudden return Of ex-Empress Fred
erick to Berlin provoked much gossip there,
for il was well known that she latterly IN
tended passing the early part of the winter
In Italy. Tie Empress had not been in Ber-
lin, until her recent arrival there, since the
middle of February, just before her very uu-
fortunate visit to Paris. Emperor William
is believed to have sent an urgent Invitation
TO his mother. 1t Is no secret that the rela-
tions between Empress Frederick and her
eldest son have been exceedingly strained
for several months, and so far as can be
seen there does not appear to be much pros
pect of their ever being upon realp cordial
terms for any length Of time. Itseems that
\ sort Of an understanding was patched up
between them about year ago, but this was
destroyed by the intricacles which resulted
from the Empress going to Paris, and there
were circumstances connected with the En-
peror's visit TO England which caused much
annoyance and irritation to his mother.
THE KAIsER's RACING STABLE.
The German Emperor has rather dislike
for racing because he regards it as giving
encouragement 10 gambling, but he Is in
directly the largest owner OF race horses in
Germany, as the GTaditZ stud belongs to the
crown, and the horses trained there have
won more than any other owner. The
Graditz stud has been credited with nearly
&l2,500 while the only other owners who
have more than $4,000 are Herr K. May,
Herr Simon, Prince FuCstenberg and Baron
Won Oertzen.

no expectation is entertained by his family
of the recovery Of the Duke Of DeyOnshire
The weakness from which alone he has
been suffering has advanced rapidly during
the past week. The danger of his decease
may not be immediate. but medical advice
considers it question OF time ony.
THE AGRICULTURAL CONFERENCE.
The show, or rather sham conference of
agricultural delegates which is to take place
in London this week, has been arranged
with much difficulty. 1t has been al most
Impossible to get any number of genuine
agricultural delegates, and most of the
people who will appear in that character
are merely radical shouters from different
localities. The promoters Of the gathering
desired also to have representatives OF the
farmers but the response from this class
has been exceedingly small A few radical
farmers will be paraded as if they spoke for
the agricultural tenants of the whole
country. The farmers have generally a
wholesome distrust of radical agitators and
even the pTese1cs of Gladstone will not be
sufficient to draw any representative
farmers to the conference.
