provements have been carried out at Bal
moral during the last few months, and a
house has been built near the castle for
the occupation of the Queens Indian Sec
retary and oriental encourage. New car
pets and furniture have been put in sew
eral of the rooms, and great deal of dec

The late Duke Ernest of Coburg was
seriously offended because the Queen did
not consult him after Prince Alberts
death, and was still more indignant when.
in 1883, Emperor William ignored" him
Guilty, and this neglect was more annoying
because the old Emperor and Duke Ernes
for more than forty years had been ha-
bitual associates and Jealous allies. The
Duke was in the habit of writing politi-
cal dissertations of prodigious length for
the information and instruction of the
Prince Consort. and there are many boxes
of his correspondence at Buckingham
Palace and Windsor.
The Emperor William is believed to
have Quashed the project of Prince Alfred
ascending the throne of Coburg, with the
Duke of Edinburgh as Regent. The Duke
has therefore succeeded his uncle and will
have to reside permanently at Coburg, as
the internal affairs of the duchy have not
been working smoothly for several years
past and firm hand at the helm is re-
Quired, but he will have to steer his course
very carefully, as the slightest sign of a
disposition to accept advice from either
London or ST. Petersburg would be fatal
to him. TIE Duke will probably not find
il easy TO get on well with Emperor Viii
liam, who. like Peter Magnus, Is too fond
of congratulating himself in the impera-
tive mood i'll his dealings with tie German
princes, and he is now on very cold terms
with the King OF Nurtemberg, the Grand
Duke of Baden and the Prince Regent of
Bavaria.
The course of business at Westminster
VIII probably be as follows: The dis
cussiOn of supply may end in the third
week in September. 1t will not be allowed
10 go on beyond the first week in October,
and, if then necessary, closure will be ap-
piled. Then, after recess Of FIVE or six
weeks, the House will meet again and will
be 9sked to resume work where it left off
<and take up. probably, the employers
SIiabilitY bill or the equalization of rates
bin, the sea fisheries bill, the registration
bill and the parish councils bill being re-
served for 1894. 1t would seem that this
course has been practically decided upon.
