has been really sweltering on the Solent. and tho

THE DUKE AND THE ALDERsHoT COMMAND
I understand that the Duke OF Connaught
most anxious that nothing should be done to press
his claims TO the Aldershot command. 1t hap
pened, however. that one was available with
stronger claims than himself, but it was not until
pressure had been put upon him to accept the APP
pointment that he allowed himself to be nominated
as Sir Evelyn Woods successor. The Duke OF
Connaught is a very keen soldier. and he will be
quite in his element at the head OF the First Army
Corps, but he recognizes that the place entails
great responsibilities, and for the next year or two
it will be his endeavor to devote himself almost
exclusively to military duties.
THE GUIKwAR is IN NORWAY.
The Guikwar of Baroda is staying at Mode,
in Norway, where he seems to have discovered
climate bracing enough for his constitution.
There something OF scene in the lobby OF
the House OF Commons on Friday night, in con-
sequence of Mr.. Leveson Cover attempting to pre-
vent Mr. Storey from voting against the Govern
ment, and hear an irate member from Sunderland
has since complained in forcible terms to the
junior whips. his official superiors at the same
time warning them that they may expect very
serious trouble IL the present system of intimida-
ton is continued IL is notorious in the House that
a certain Cabinet Minister has been very active In
bullying doubtful members but it is only by the
most severe pressure that the Government
jority be kept together. l hear that Mr.
OConor Don has repeatedly expressed himself of late
as utterly against the Home Rule bill and the policy
Of the present Government and he persists in de.

of the Irish Nationalist party at Westminster.
He remains a Home Ruler, It is true. in principle.

Butt Mr.. OConor Don was. l believe not un.
willing to take part in the great gathering at
Albert Hall. but would only have done
iiton that he would be allowed to declare himself
Home Ruler on principle, and as this was deemed
scarcely advisable such OCCASION the scheme
fell through. AS a speaker, by the way, he is still
probably without rival in Ireland.
