of No Mean Pretensions.
rBY CABLE TO THE D1sPATcH1
LONDON, Jan. 2.-Prince Victor of
Hohenlohe-Langenberg, better known as
Count Gleichen, the sculptor, the nephew
and godson of Queen Victoria, was prince
worthy of respect. He commenced his
active career in a most unprincely fashion
by running away from school at Dresden,
and further panied his royal relatives and
connections, first by passing years of sharp
fighting and hard working in the British
navy, and subsequently by taking to the
profession Of sculptor as a means of earn
ing his living. His artistic career dated
from 1866, when, invalided from the royal
navy with the rank of Rear Admiral, he lost
all his fortune in a great bank smash up.
Having some talent as a modeler he de-
cided to cultivate it, and studied for two
years under Sculptor Theed Then, at the
age of 35, he took the name of Gleichen,
opened a studio of his own, and naturally
soon received commissions, much to the dis
gust Of better men who had no royal blood
in their veins. He took apartments in st.
James Palace and a studio opposite the
Prince OF Wales town mansion, but his un-
assuming manners and manly mien quickly
disarmed professional hostility, and prob
ably no royal prince ever had more sincere
friends than the one who now lies dead in
st. James Palace.

while of some daredevil person to try it,and
the author was in just the mood.
Many reader who wanted to read tale
through was not able to do it because of de-
lays on account of the weather. Nothing
breaks up an authors progress like having
to stop every few pages to fuss up the
weather. Thus it is plain that persistent
intrusions of weather are bad for both
reader and author.
Of course weather is necessary to narra-
tive of human experience. That is con-
ceded. But it ought to be put where it will
not be in the way, where it will not inter-
rupt the flow of the narrative. And it
ought to be the best weather that can be
had, not ignorant, poor quality, amateur
weather. Weather is a literary speciality,
and no unframed hand eau turn out a
good article of it. The present author
can do only few trifing, ordinary kinds
of weather, and he cannot do those very
good. So it has seemed wisest to borrow
such weather as is necessary for the
story from qualified and recognized ex-
perts-giving credit of course. This
weather will be found over in the back
part of the tale, out of the way. See ap-
pendix.

The Reciprocity Clause of the Mckinley
Bill Gave Harrison a Big Lever.
PARIS, Jan. 2.-The Temps says that the
Government is OH the eve of concluding a
convention with the United States for a
partial application of the minimum tariff.
The new convention secures the continu-
ance on the American free list of a number
of French products, including skins,
sugars and molasses.
President Harrison intended On January
1 to enforce against these products the
duties applicable to imports from countries
that refused to concede to the United States
reciprocal advantages. To secure an un-
broken enjoyment of the exemptions from
the payment of those duties, M. Ribot,
Ministers of Foreign Affairs, negotiated the
convention referred to, by the terms of
which the United States gets the minimum
tariff on products entering France, the ex-
port value of which amounts to 10000, 900
francs annually, and which equal in value
the French products exempted from duty
by the United States.
