PRINCE GEORGE OF WALES PROMOTED.
Prince George Of Wales, as was stated some time
ago would be the case, has been promoted 10 the rank
OF commander. Prince George has been close upon six
years lieutenant, and II Is pretty well understood that

THE QUEEN OF ITALY's MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.
The Queen Of Italy is probably the finest pedestrian
and the most active mountain climber among the Euro
pean royalties. A few days ago she set out from
GressOney I'm ca morning, reached the 1ndre Plaeaa
about noon, passed the night in tent on the Hoeh
licht and at dawn set out in gray walking costume
for tho Lys glacier. The cold was intense, and
binding snowstOrm compelled some OF Her Maiestys
attendants to turn back The weather cleared at last

level The second night passed on the mountains
before Queen Margaret returned to Gressoney not
whit the worse for the adventure which tired out her
most stalwart companions.

SIR JOHN GoRsTs CHANCES FOR PROMOTION,
Sir John Gorst has every chance, it seems OK suc|

Raikes. His appointment 10 the Postmaster-Generai'
ship may be looked upon as foregone CONCLUSION Iho
Under Secretary for India has OF late occupied 100 uch
of popular attention for the heads OF the conservative
party to be able safely to continue JeWaEdlng his
merits with subordnaon 10 less prominent politicians
which almost amounts to neglect. There seems also 70
be every probability that he will be selected as tho
colleague OF SIR Gabriel Stokes In the representation OF
Cambridge University. His academic quanhcau0hs are
sbundantly sufficient. He was third wrangler ana
fellow OF st. Johns College, which foundation ne
experIence in the House OF Commons would usefuly
