NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-Edmund Yates
cables the Tribune from London: The
Princess of Wales and her daughters left
Sandringham on Saturday. after resi-
dence of more than three months, and pre-
ceeded to Osborne on visit TO the Queen.
They were accompanied by the Prince.
The Princess had not seen the Queen for
nearly six months, as she returned from
Denmark in the autumn direct to Sand
bingham and influenza pre- vented the usual
visit to Windsor Castle in Decem Der
She is now quite restored to health and she
will probably pay brief visit to the Duke
aud Duchess of File at Sussex square,
Brighton, when she leaves Osborne.
The Queen has begged the Princess of
Wales to POSTPONE her departure for TIL
Mediterranean until after the two draw
ing-rooms which are to be held at Buck
ingham Palace on February and March
6. The presence of the Princess at these
functions, invitations to which are lin
tied to 200. will be the best possible proof
of the falSity of the reports which have
been so recklessly circulated about her
resolution to retire from society.
The Prince of Wales racing yacht Bri-
tannia completed her outfit last week, and
Today the yacht leaves COwes for Gbrsl-
tar on her way TO Marseiles.
The Prince will not leave for the Riviera
until the second week in March, aad will
hold two levees before his departure He
will return to London about April 9 for
ten days before proceeding to Coburg.
The Duke Of Connaught, who has been
engaged daily at Aldershot with the duties
Of his nd No
October. has obtained a months leave of
absence. and he and the Duchess have left
Bagshot with their children for Osborne
on visit to the Queen.
The Duke and Duchess OF Connaught
are to 60 10 Germany in April for a short
time. and will be at Coburg for the mar
riage Of The Grand Duke of Hesse and the
Princess Victoria Melta.
The reconciliation of Prince Bismarck
to the Emperor seems 10 have pleased
almost everybody. The Hermit of Fried
erichsruhe is in unwonted spirits. Count
Won Moltke has arrived here, bringing
with him brand new field marshal's
cloak, and the return visit is 10 be marked
by several surprises and incidents of
dramatic significance. The only malcon-
tent is r.Schweninge who was compelled
TO reach the palace in hackney coach,
and when there was coolly requested to
dine with some subordinate functionaries
The worthy medico was furious, for in
other days he always had a court carriage
and place at the high table. A tactical
error has been committed, for DIR. Schwen-
myers influence with the ex-Chancellor
is unboupded and seems likely to increase
as time goes on.
In consequence of the rumored resigna-
tor OF Gladstone there has been revival
of all the old speculations as to what will
happen when that resignation actually
trkes place. 1t is a good opportunity for
reviewing the prospect, if the phrase be
permissible. There are Two marked out
for the first right to a reversion of the
leadership - Sir William Harcourt by
priority of service and Lord Rosebery by
superiority of ability and popularity.
Both are indispensable to the party, but
both are impossible. for Sir William will
not serve under Lord ROsebery and Lord
Rosebery will not serve under Sir VIII
liam. Who is then to have it ? Only one
other name has suggested itself. AsQuith
bat he is too young and too inexperienced
and too much envied. Shrewd students
of politics hold that good humored man
of no importance, such as Campbell Ban
herman. has the best chance of successio
10 the leadership If the Liberals should by
any chance come back victorious from the
mills
