LISTENING TO THE REDEMPTION"
The Princess OF Wales and her daughters went
very quietly 10 ST. Peters. in Eaton Square, on Fri
day evening and occupied seats in the front row
nh the end of MIR Sergesons performance of THE
Reaemption" Ciounod dedicated this work specially
10 the Queen and St Peters is the parish church
OF buckingham Palace. 1t Is by no means i'm
probable that the performance Of The Redemp-
ion will be commanded Windsor between this
and Easter.
IN THE SAME HOUSE WITH THE BARON.
The Emperor and Empress of Austria, whose
projected journey to Montone I mentioned last
week have retained the whole Of one wing OF the
can Martin Hotel and will remain there some
time so that the same roof will shelter Baron
Irsch and the head Of the House of Hapsburg
TIE EMPEROR WILL. MAKE UP WITH his SISTER
The Duke and Duchess of Sparta are to leave
Athens early in April for Germany. and they will
he AZ Coburg for the royal wedding. In order TO
represent the King and Queen Of the Hellenes at
ward go to St. Petersburg for the marriage of the
Crand-duchess Xenie, and on leaving Russia will
probably come England for n few weeks. The
Duke is TO return TO Greece early in July. but the
Duchess will pay long visit TO her mother, the
Empress Frederick. at Cronberg. 1t is under
stood that reconciliation will take place between
the Emperor William and the Duchess of Sparta,
who was His Majesty's favore sister until she
Joined the Greek Church.
LORD PENRHYN TO ENTERTAIN TIE PRINCE.
The Prince and Princess of Wales and the
Princesses Victoria and Maud are to be guests of
Lord and Lady Penrhyn at Penrhyn Castle, Car
narvonshre for three days during the second week
in July. ard will attend Carnarvon Eisteddfod on
Wednesday, July II. The Queen and Prince Albert
STAYED once at Penrhyn as the guests OF the late
Lord Penrhyn, who was then Colonel DouglasPen-
RUMoRs ABOUT Mr. GLADSTONE.
There is not yet any more to be said about the
Probabilities OF Mr.. Gadstones resignation. 50
far every one may know much as any one else,
for nothing been decided. but the events of the
last week make it pain that an authoritative
statement will be forthcoming soon. Whichever
may be the decision TO, the party will not
stand much longer the paralyzing state Of uncer-
tainty from which it suffers. The revived
Cabinet dinner was certainly made the occasion for
discussion of the point Those who there have
freely admitted as much as this though they will
not be more particular SO. on the following Mon
day one did not wonder TO find the lobby alive with
rumors that the end was near.
on Tuesday Of last week came the fasco over the
EMPLOYERS Liability bill and the day the
pointed challenge from the press organ OF fighting
Liberalism Cor either resignation refutatiOn Of
rumors thereof. Next the revival OF the re-
port Of Mr.. Gladstone's intention not to contest
Midlothian at the next general election, and the
political takers at the clubs are now only betting
how long it will be before straight tip comes over

yet disclose. my inclination is to side with those
who take the resignation view Of what may GER
tain,y be fairly called the present crisis.
HE MAY BE MADE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.
Daring the last week there has been revival in
very accentuated form Of the report that Sir Charles
Russell is 20 be made Lord chief Justice
Those who repeated the tale are Of the class who
generally do not speak unless they have something
worth saying If the change does take place Sir
John Rigby will probably succeed the senior law
officer of the Crown in his present post. AS for
the Solicitor Goneralshlp there several cand-
dates. Mr.. Frank Lockwood probably has as good
a chance any OF them. IL there were not 50
many scotsmen already IN the Cabnet-for Mr.
Gladstone is a pure Scotsman-Mr. Robert Reid
would have a chance. and Mr.. Haldane despite
electoral dsqualihcations is sim talked Of as pos
sible. -
Canon Wherefore was last week the guest OF
result of his transfer from Southampton to West
minister will not be a gain, but Canon Wherefore
wishes TO be In London, and the new parish Is
much easier one. He IS principally known to the
public from his jealous. not to say fanatca. advo-
cacy of teetotalism, but he Is an eloquent and in
teresting preacher and possesses great deal of
his fathers charm Of manner. OF course he is a
Gladstonian quand meme. and High Churchman.
Canon Wherefore replaces Canon Furse, both IN
the preOendal stall at Westminster Abbey and in
the rectory Of ST. Johns. His preferment VIII
bring him In net income OF about Il 200 a year.
THE QUEEN AND TIE LORDS.
The Radical newspaper having ceased its dis
trac,ed invectives against Mr.. Gladstone comes out
with a cock and bun story about the Queen having
interviewed privately IN order avert the conflict
between the Lords and Commons. This tale is pure
and simple invention.
ANARCHY is NOT POPULAR.

Friday at Bouriin's funeral complete revela-
ton to the French Anarchists in Paris They are
accustomed to Indifference on the part OF the work
ing classes and bourgeose teIrorized b. them, but
Fridays outbreak of popular Indignation taught
them a lesson which they not likely soon 10

doubt that II crime like Nail.ants or lienrls
Is committed in London. the outburst OF popular
fury Will drive away the whole gang OF foreign
inscreants should the Governrncr. hesitate 10 de-
cree their expulsion.
NEED or MORE NAVY OFFICERS.
II is good thing that the attention Of the public
Is beginning 10 be drawn not only TO the necessity
Of building more ships, but also Of providing OFF,
and men TO them. II war IL suddenly
proclaimed we are told authority. we should
find ourselves short OF $40 lieutenants. and even
with the present diminished compliments, 400 en-
sineers Although in the past four years we have
very considerably added to the number OF our
ships we have taken adequate steps toward
getting ready a personnel for them, although 1t
takes ten years from boyhood to turn out an
efficient lieutenant or engineer. and five years to
make useful seaman And Of this last class We
are including stokers deficient some 1000 men.
