NEW YORK. Feb 15-Edmund Yates
special to the Tribune from London says:
stated last week that the Queen had con-
sented to allow the coffin of the Duke of
Clarence to be taken back to SandIingham
and buried there in the churchyard. This
was coutradicted on Wednesday by a daily
journal. which denial was evidently based
upon what Lord BeacOnsfeld would have
defined as a blundering and defective
knowledge Of the circumstances. Directly
after the Duke Of Clarence died,
the Prince and Princess Of Wales expressed
a strong wish that he should be buried
quietly at Sandrlngham, but the Queen,
who is supreme authority on such occasions,
would not consent considering thar the
heir to the throne ought to be inferred with
becoming ceremonial at Windsor. As a
matter Of fact, the question was not def
nitely settled until the Sunday after
the Dukes death, and then the uti-
mate destination Of the cofiu was
left undecided The Queen subse-
guently suggested that if there was
an objection to the royal vault the
coffin might be placed in a crypt in the
Prince Consort's mausoleum at Frogmore,
but this proposal was not accepted. Uiti-
matsly during the visit Of the Prince and
Princess Of Wales to Osborne the Queen
reluctantly consented to the burial at
SandrIngham, only supulatnE that the
coffin should remain in the Albert Memorial
Chapel until after her return to Windsor.
Inasmuch, however, as the Queen evidently
disapproyed Of the Sandringham plan the
suggestion has been made that the coffin
shold be placed in a sarCOphagus in the
Albert Chapel, near to the one in which
the Duke Of Albany is buried. The matter
remains in allegiance until after the return
Of the court to Windsor, when the Prince
and Princess Of Wales and their family are to
be the guests Of the Queen at the castle, and
the royal party will attend the memorial
service 10 Albert Chapel, which is TO be
conducted by Bishop Davidson, Dean Elliott
and Canon Dalton.
A ROYAL REVENGE.
Tie King Of Wurtemburg Is greatly an
noyed at his predecessor for having be-
queathed the beautiful villa Of Taubenheim
TO an Americau-George, the engineer Of
the royal theater. Every effort to TepuU-
chase 1t having failed, the gas and water
supply from tTledeTiChshOfen have been cut
Of and negotiations have been abandoned.
CHA3lBERLAIS's CANDIDACY.
Austin Chamberlain, notwithstanding the
emphatic denial given 70 the intelligence IN
certain journals, is 10 be the CpiOnlst can
dldate for East W Worcester. His views for
diSestRblishment were said to be the
difficulty, but this objection has been dis
covered tl have little foundation in fact,
and has been raised by few UniOnists
whose wayeTing adhesion lt was
better TO dispense with than 10 pro-
Ceed TO cOncialiate with more prom
ises Like his father, Austin Chamberlain
is adopting a policy which The true JulOu-
lists Will admire He Will subordinate his
opinions on the subject OF disestablshmeut
20 the interests OF the union. Although
Austin Chamberlain is not so brilliant a
man as his father, statesmen's sons seldom
are, SO this is no disCredit 10 the young
man. His contemporaries at Cambridge
had very good opinion Of him,
and used 20 compare him 10 the Nisc0unt
CranbOrne. not altogether to the advantage
Of tie Prime Minister'S son. Since leaving
tie university he has had an ideal training
for a budding politician. He knows all the
leading embassies and has been putthTough
tie best society in all the capitals of Europe
under the highest auspices. Ia America be
made a good impression, ana enjoys the
reputation, rare indeed in a son, Of having
paved tie way for his fathers marriage by
Tie glowing account which lie brought
home OF Miss EndicOtt's charms. More
over, he Is IN ms fathers closest confidence
and has earned golden opinions from the
Liberal I nl0nlst chiefs as q capable and
truSty business man. When he enters the
House, as be certainly viii, after the gen.
er3l election, other promising young men
viii be put on their mettle.
WILL RETURN HOME.
Lady Henry Somerset, who has been
staying in Chicago, bas abandoned her pro-
Jecied trip to Japan, and VIII return to En-
gland with her son early LeXt month.
ANXIOUS TO JOIN TIE ARMY.
At the present time upward Of 80 young
men, qualified for commissions in tie army,
are anXlously awaiting appointment This
shows that the army is popular in the
Weather ranks Of society. There never was
such a waiting list before. Parents evil
dently regard the profession Of arms as a
g0Od calling for their boys There is this TO
be said fyr II, 1t starts them in life at an
early age.
THE ELDERS ACCIDENT.
Southampton folks have been greatly per-
tUrbed by the comments made in the press
and shipping circles generally on the recent
accident to the Elder. II happened curl
Ously al a. very unfortunate time for
the sharehOid IS Of the Southampton
Docks Company. Great efforts had been
made publicly aud privately 10 induce the
Canadian author ties TO adopt a port on the
SoleHt as the eastern terminus Of their new
line CT Atlantic steamers and it seemed
that the attempt would in all probability be
successful until this uulucky disaster
brought the dangers Of Atherly Ledge
70 the front Now the Plymouth
people will take heart again, and Milford
Haven will pluck up courage TO assert its
strangely neglected claims once more. A
surprising thing is that DO important steam
snip line has yet had the wit 10 see that in
some important respects Falmouth can give
points 10 one and all the others; but when
the Great Western gauge is put right in
MayHeil We shall see.
