London July 2i.-I hear that the Queen b.
tends to make the investiture OF the Duke Of
York as a Knight of the Thistle a ceremony Of
considerable state which will take place at Bal
moral in the autumn. The Duke and Duchess
Of York will probably pay visit In the au-
t,,mn to the King and Queen of wurtemburg
at Friedrichshafen, on Lake Constance. where
their Majesties have arrived for stay Of three
uonths. The Queen intends to confer the Or.
dor Of the Garter upon King William, and Her
Majesty will probably commission the Duke Of
Work m invest him with the Ribbon and In.
sigma.
THE GERMAN EaPEROR's VISIT.
Emperor William is expected to arrive at
Cowes on Saturday next His Majesty is not
coming on a visit to the Queen at Osborne as
has been stated, but will live on board his
Yacht during his stay. The Queen intends to
give a large dinner party in the new Indian
room at Osborne Monday. July 3d. at which
the Emperor the Prince OF Wales and the Duke
and Duchess of York and other members OF the
royal family will be present. During the three
following days the Emperor Will be occupied
with the races in which his yacht Meteor will
take part and that vessel Is believed to have
good chance of winning the Queens Cup, .
trophy which her owner is very anxious to Sc
cure On wednesday the Prince Of Wales will
probably entertain the Emperor at dinner
board the Victoria and Albert, and on Thurs
day il is expected that His Majesty will give
a dinner party board the imperial yacht.
on Friday the Queen will give another dinner
arty at Osborne, and on the evening of Satur-
day August s. 1t is expected that the Emperor
will leave i'm his yacht for Germany but His
Majestys movements are always uncertain.
Lords Salisbury, Rosebery, and the hereditary
Prince of Hohenlohe will be among the guests
at Osborne during the imperial visit.
THE Duke or CONNAUGHT TO STAY AT HIS POST.
AS recently stated the probable arrangements
which were in contemplation for the transfer Of the
Duke of Connaught from Portsmouth to Aldershot
have broken down and he will retain his Ports
mouth command until the expiration of his term In
August, 1895.
SEEKING 4 BRIDE FOR TIE PRINCE OF NAPLES.
Some Paris papers state that negotiations
connected with the proposed betrotha of the
Prince of Naples to the Princess Feodore OF
Schleswg- Iolstein the youngest sister OF the Ger
man Empress, have terminated. and the projected
match has been given up. The truth Is that no
such engagement was ever seriously contemplated
BY the Italian Court. but the proposal originated
with the German Emperor during his visit to
Rome. The fact of Princess Feodore being Lu-
theran Is an insuperable obstacle to her becoming
Roman Catholic. What is true Is that there
has lately been a project of his being betrothed to
one of the daughters of the Count OF Flanders.
The Queen OF Italy will again spend the autumn
among the Alps. She hopes to be able to put into
execution her long-cherished idea of making
successful ascent of Mount Rosa.
ALL OVER NATTER OF PRECEDENCE.
The elevation of Lord Queensberry eldest son.
Lord Drumlannig to the English peerage has placed
bpr Id.
cradle annoyance. 1t seems that the creation,
which, as a matter of fact, has no precedent, was
arranged by Lord Rosebery, Notwithstanding re-
monstrance from Lord Queensberry, who In his
reply to the communication on the subject from
the Minister OF Foreign Affairs, strongly urged
that he was only a Scotch Marquis without seat
in the Upper House. and that the putting OF his son
over his head would be an unwarranted slight. AS
soon as the creation was gazetted. Lord Queens
berry repeated his protest but could obtain no an.
swer beyond the assurance that no discourtesy was
intended. Lord Rosebery declined to vouchsafe
any reply whatever. so Lord Queensberry wrote
direct to the Queen. who instructed Sir Frederick
Ponsonby to express her regret that Lord Queens
berry had not been consulted in the matter. as she
understood from Mr. Gladstone that the circum-
stances had been fully explained ETC. Lord queens
berry then addressed further letter TO the Queen
formally accusing Mr. Gladstone OF practising
reticence and deception In his advice to Her
Majesty ana tnen SCTeeHlHs iiiihSci W iSS'''"s
10 a conspiracy of silence. He concluded by asking
for the only redress possible under the circum-
stances This may be presumed to mean the crea-
ton of a second English peerage In his favor the
dispute is not the less bitter because Lord Queens
berry is a strong Liberal ana Home Ruler. The
Queen is the more vexed because Lord Queens
berrys father for some years was comptroller OF
the household. Lord Queensberry asks leave to
publish the whole correspondence
MEMORIAL TO CARDINAL MANNING.
The Cardinal Manning Memorial Fund has now
reached a total OF 5000 pounds sterling. and
meeting OF the committee will be held before the
winter TO decide in what way the money can 90
hest applied to aid the homeless cosmopolitan poor
Of London considerable sum was presented 70
Cardinal Manning and devoted by him to chariv
when he celebrated the silver Jubilee OF his epis-
conate shortly before his death. and remembering
this fact and the general indifference Of the pub
lie toward memorials, the result OF the appear
made In this instance by Cardinal Vaughan ana
the Duke of Norfolk, who have given constant
personal attention to the work, cannot be con-
sidered disappointing. A sum only half as large
was collected after vigorous canvassing TO make
memorial to Cardinal Newman. and the statue
on which a portion Of the money was expended u
st in search Of a site.
AMERICAN MONEY FOR CHARITY.
The American millionaire who has gained some
notoriety this week by putting down 5000 POUNDS
sterling as first nstalment to fund OF S'""
pounds sterling for the ground-rent campaign u
not Mr. Andrew Carnegie, as so many nave SAID
II IL I have every reason to believe. Mr. }. Mox'
ham. a native of Glamorganshire who recently re-
turned from New-York with considerable wealth.
He is in close touch with several OF the Welsh Par
lamentary party and it is quite possible that otnef
causes beside ground rents will benefit by MS gem
erosity.
