LONDON, Oct 22-The announcement of
Tennyson's successor as the wearer of the
laurel may be expected soon. The honorary
post will be continued, because, as Words
worth put it when accepting the laureate

tinction: Expressed upon authority en-
titled TO the highest respect, sense of the
national importance of poetic literature. I"
Swinburne's name is far the most prominent
in the consideration of competent judges.
1t is urged against the criticisms of the
straight laced that he is no longer poet of
passion. As the Times puts it, he is less
luscious, and ranks with more of common
humanity, and now decidedly ION the side
Of angels"
William Morris would have many and
strong supporters had he not placed himself
under ban by allving himself with social
ism. Mr. Gladstone's task is in some sense
the most embarrassing that could fall to q
Prime Minister. He will probably make
the selection within . few days

ALARMING INCREASE OF LuNAcY.
Insanity May Be Made Sufficient Cause
for Divorce.
rpY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. ]

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The increase of
lunacy in this country-or. to speak more
correctly, the increase in the number of
persons certified as insane-is said to be
cansing q good deal Of worry to local
authorities throughout the country, upon
whom the law imposes the duty of
sheltering and maintaining these unhappy
creatures. 1t is pretty generally believed
that the increase is more apparent than
real, being caused by more careful regis
tration and certifcation, and by the undeni-
able fact that, in this sanitary age, lunatics,
being better fed, clothed and housed than
in former times, naturally live longer
But this comforting assurance is delusive
in the light of official statistics, which show
that the percentage of insane to the general
population has steadily risen during the
past ten years from s3 to 29. per TO-
600. A British medical journal suggests
that lunacy should be bar to matrimony
and legal cause for declaring a marriage
null and void, if the fact that insanity of
one of the contracting parties has been kept
from the knowledge of the other.

torms have prevailed in the syzeran dis

is hoped the line will soon be open again.

English Justice Still a Farce.

LONDON, Oct 22.-Tory magistrates con-
tinue to make English justice subject for
contempt and derision. A judge yester-
day sentenced . man who pleaded guilty of
stealing two pence from the till of public
house to four years penal servitude. The
other day a wretch who eliminated series
of cruelties by crushing his wife's cheek
bone by blow with a, shovel got four
months in the workhouse, and the punish
ment was regarded as exemplary.

A New Coat of Arms in France That Comes

LONDON, Oct 22--The French republic
has been in search of coat of arms There
has been new crusade recently against all
remain ng insignia of the empire on public
buildings, and even the letter "N" has been
everywhere efaced.
The emblem which has practically been
decided upon is p tri-color background,
bearing liberty cap in the center, with the
tokens of equality and fraternity and the
grand Gordon of the Legion of Honor fanked
by flags, and the whole surmounted by an
alouette.

A GOOD HOLD ON UGANDA.
England Not Likely to Have to Give Up
One of Her Possessions.

One of Her Possessions.
lBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.1
LONDON, Oct. 22.-There is prospect
that England's hold upon Uganda will be
maintained in one way or another. The
appeal to the Government on behalf of
commercial interests having met with a
quasi refusal, the same request, based upon
moral grounds, has had more favorable re-
ception.
Lord Roseberry is plainly in favor of
stopping short of actual evacuation of the
territory, and, as Lord Roseberry's will in
purely foreign affairs is really the will of
the Cabinet, there is good reason for be-
lieving that the British flag will continue
to wave in Uganda 1t is quite probable,
however, that the Government will prefer
a direct control rather than continue to act
through corporate proxy.

clause in all its contracts with actresses,
viz: 1.-The management may cancel the
agreement of giving one weeks notice if

Forbidding actresses to marry is de-

Yet the same theater reserves the right to
