LONDON. October 14.--Ths fact that the Prince
Of Wales absented himself from the funeral OF
Lord Tennyson on Wednesday in order that he
might attend the Newmarket races is provoking
considerable comment. His action Is especially
dilated upon by certain Radical journals, which
appear anxious 10 make a sensation similar 70
that accustomed by the baccarat scandal, In
which the Prince was involved.
The Prince Of Wales, accompanied by tho
Duke Of Cambridge, visited Newmarket on Wed
nesday and saw the race for the CzafeWitch
stakes. lie was made the object OF popular
ovation when his horse Virgil won the NURSERY
plate, a handicap OF 200 soyereigns. This race
Immediately preceded the one for the Czare-
witch stakes. His absence from Westminster
Abbey would have been less remarked upon but
Tor the .act that not n single royal parsonage
ives present at tho funeral, though, az the de-
ferd Of the royal family strongly emphaslze,
they were represented by two generals aud TWO
coonels- besides numerous splendid wreatns-
WALES NEVER TAXEs sEsIoUsLT-
slnce the Tranby Croft affair public opinion
hes been very sensitive In regard 10 the conduct
OF the Prince OF Wales, but the public taxes
v3ry common-sense view OF the Princes present
acton. The efforts being made 10 arouse ieei-
Inc against him will fall nat. IL Is generally iet
that hts partially for the lighter side OF national
iic is so marked that for him 10 show deep re-
grot over the death OF Lord Tennyson would ne
m're hypocrisy. Those eRitating against MS ap-
sence, however, contend that his presence was
necessary, not a. an expression OF his own per-
sonal feeling, but as the next hoad OF the nation
assisting AZ a national event.
Tho Chronicle says IL II true that the Prince
went Hhsre the mass OF people went. Ienny-
son WAS never the peoples poet. but the point Is
whether In their hearts the people really prefer
Prince who cannot postpone days shooting
OF racing In order to mark great epoch IN MS
mothers reign.
HOW ABOUT GLADsroNE'
Tho Radical journals. while dilatiug upon the
Prince absence. discreetly omit a. Tar as po..l-
bic al mention OF Gladstone's absence. His
plea OF pressure of work aud the feeble excuse
volunteered by his snpporters-the danger OF
catching serious cold In Westminster ABBEY
are not considered quite satisfactory. On the
contrary, u - suspected that some other reas n
prompted his refusal 10 attend the services. As
ne Is accustomed TO addressing meetings IN the
open dir bareheaded, the danger Of his catching
cOld IN the abbey was very remote.
THE LIBERAL REVERSE.
The defeat OF lawson (Gladstoneanl who con-
tested the Cirencester division OF gloucester
shire with Master Conservative. Is keenly felt
by the Liberals, who. though they expected a
tough hgnt, hoped 70 retain the seat This Is the
nr.t loss the Liberals have sustained since tho
general election. Following thor reduced ma
;ortes In by-olections In Leeds and Bedford
SHIRE, u IS sure 70 make marked Impression on
the public, while IT Will stimulate the Conserya-
uVos % contest every election where there II the
smallest chance OF victory. Vho local Liberals
refused 20 believe that they were defeated. They
| insisted upon a count, which was made during
scene OF feverish excitement, enormous croW's
surrounding tho hail. The Conservatives were
over10yed when tho result WAS announced. They
marched IN procession about the town, drawing
Master in his carriage The success OF the Con-
sse'aiives wcs largely due to the popularity OF
Master. Lawson was practically stranger in
| the constituency. lie was largely assisted In his
campaign by his wife.
IRISH DEADLOCK CONTINUED.
| The proposal made by the Parnolltes that the
| Paris fund be placed in the hands OF a commit
Tee OF three members from each section OF
| tho Irish parliamentary party, which, 1t was
| thought, would be accepted by the McCsrthyites
| In view OF speeches made by prominent mem
bers OF that section fayorng 1t. has fallen 10 the
ground owing TO the action OF the Palnellltos IN
| insisting that claim DO admitted OF charges
| which consist OF law costs and debts OF the Ma
| tionsl League amounting TO over 100000. The
Metaphysics insist that the claims OF eyicted
| tenants should be the first charge on the iund.
Neither side seems disposed TO yield In the
matter, and thus the long deadlock continues.
