President Mcleod Tacifurn.

When President Mcleod was asked if the coal
fields of Nova Scotia had been purchased and if
the Reading was in the deal he only replied: II
have nothing to say"
As it has been Mr.. McLeod's invarable Gus
tom to deny rumors concerning the Reading
when they were without foundation his re-
fusal to either deny affirm the Nova Scotia
story leaves the inference that there is some
truth in it,
Mr.. George II. Earle, jr., president Of the
Finance Company of Pennsylvania, said that
he knew nothing about the reported deal, as
his company had not yet been approached in re-
gard to the matter.
A gentleman prominently interested in the
recent coal deals. but who did not wish his
name used. stated that he believed that the
Nova Scotia fields had been purchased, al
though he had no actual information to that
effect. lie also believed that the Finance Com
pany of Philadelphia would be the fiscal agent
OF the combination. as the whole tendency of
the railroad companies Ii to divorce the coal
producing part OF their business from their
trafiic and passenger business and give it for
management into the hands of responsible
finance companies.

A SUMPTUOCS BRIDAL OUTFIT.
The Trousseau of the Young Princess, tn
Future Queen of Roumania

Inc rousseau of the Young Princess, the
Future Queen of Roumania.
From the New York Sun.
Feminine interest in London is focused lust
now upon the outfit for the bride who is event.
ually destined to be queen Of Roumania Such
an enormous number of possessions makes
one wonder how the seventeen-year old princess
will find opportunity to wear them all before
they will become old-fashioned The wedding
gown itself is of pure white poult de sole. a
heavy corded silk, and has a rourd-trained
skirt, embroidered deeply with pearls. crystal
and little silver. The embroidery is of the
hnest Workmanship, wrought entirely by hand
The bodice has full bertha of white
velvet and pulled sleeves of the same
material The veil will be OF tulle fast
ened with orange blossoms. The Princess
Marle's three younger sisters are to be her
only bridesmaids, and one will wear brocade
OF sllvery blue, and another a gown of ivy
geranium pink. The little maid of eight will
be dressed in dainty frock of rich corded silk
OF delicate shade deeper than cream. but
clearer than ecru, and trimmed with Valen-
clennes lace. The going-away dress of the En-
glsh bride is always a very dress, and bride
Ike affair, for her going away does not involve
journey In public conveyances On the con-
trary, the happy pair drive away in a Carriage
10 their own or some one else's country home
to spend the honeymoon in delightful seclusion.
instead OF junketing about sightseeing or visit
ing relatives, after the fashion of the American
bridal pair. This going-away gown is to be Of
the princess favorite color, gray lavender
cloth, embroidered with white and gray silk
raised needlework. The bodice is embroidered
all over in white, except the yoke, which is of
white wrought in gray stars. But it is the
cloak in which the future queen will arrive in
Bucharest that Is making all the young women
enyious over the sea- 1t is peisse Of shaded
velvet, tinted in artistic gradations from deem
heiiotrope to silver fawn. entirely innocent Of
trimming, but lined throughout with pure
white fox, which forms broad revers when the
cloak is thrown open. The gown beneath it is
Of mirror velvet, shaded in subtle tints of viii
low green. and lis simply made, without trim
ming, excepta wide belt of gold and all the
shades of green suggested by the lights in the
velvet.
Twenty-four silk petticoats are included in
the generous trousseau: nine dozen handker-
chiefs. all Of exquisite quality and embroidered
with the cipher NJ. surmounted by the royal
crown, and nine dozen Of stockings, mostly
silk, embroidered by hand, to match the Co.'S
tunes with which they will be worn. and each
one marked with the initial and the crown.
The great feature of the outfit is tine wonderful
beauty of the embroideries. the originality of
the designs and the exquisite way in which
they have been carried out.

England's African Empire.

From the New York Press.
1t may now be assumed as certain that Great
Britain proposes to retain Uganda. A British
commissioner is on his way to that country, es-
corted by q small army Of Zanzibar soldiers.
and the East Africa Company shows no signs Of
evacuating that territory. as it undoubtedly
would do unless assured as to the purposes Of
the government. The occupation Of Uganda
means the opening not Of that country alone.
but Of vast territories adjoining to English oc-
cupation. 1t means the addition Of central
