The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-10-07

LONDON, Oct. during the first part
OF this week the weather here, ana
throughout Great Britain generally, was
so hot that King Khama, the visiting Al
rican potentate, who has taken the place
OIL Nazrulla Khan, as the foreign attrac-
ton OF the moment, was completely pros
trated. The warm wave, however, sud
denly subsidized curing Tuesday night,
and the climatic conditions changed from
pretty near African to nearly Arctic wea-
ther, heavy snow falling in some parts OF
Scotland, and terrible gale sweeping
the coasts, catching hundreds OF small
craft unawares, driving many upon the
rock-lined shores In all, II rs estimated
that nearly 60 vessels, large and small
steamers and sailing craft, went to the
bottom, or lett their frames upon the
5torm-iashed shores, during the progress
OF the gale. The vessels caught by the
storm in the British Channel, seem to
have Jared the worst. The life-boat men,
as usual did noble service; but all their
efforts did not prevent the loss of life from
totalling up toward hundred, according
TO the conservative estimates
The Newmarket trainers, however, who
have candidates for the Czarewitch
stakes, which event is TO be run this
week, hailed the change OF weather with
delight. The race promises To be most IN
teresting, and will be witnessed by the
Prince OF Wales, and all the prominent
sportsmen OF the United Kingdom. The
Prince will occupy his rooms at the Jock
ey Club.
CzarewItch betters are persistent In raj
lying around the royal colors OF the
Prince of Wales Florizel III. Among the
starters will be Mr.. Charles ID. Roses St.
Hilaire, bay colt by st. Simon, out Of
Distant Shore, the latter being the brood
mare after which the new challenger for
the Americas cup will be named.
Mr.. Langley's chestnut filly, Bride OF
the Sea. by Grafton, out OF Sea Breeze,
turing the stakes, while Banquet III,
formerly the property of Mr.. Michael +.
Dwyer and now owned by Captain Aiken,
carrying very light weight, 95 pounds,
against the 125 pounds which Florizel ii
must run under, finds some favor. When
they ran in the race for the Newmarket
cup, Florizel ii and Banquet had the
same handicap.
The Prince of Wales, after attending the
Leeds musical festival, which the United
states ambassador, Mr. Thomas +. Bay
ard, and Mrs. Bayard also visited, went
10 kempton Park races on Thursday and
Friday, and Saturday, after the races, he
started for Deep End, where great prep
erations have been made by Lord and
Lady William Beresford 10 entertain him.
Sir Charles and Lady Upper returned
recently to the Canadian office from q
long visit to Scotland, from which Sir
Charles Tupper (who has never been
really well since the death Of Sir John
ThomPson) has derived much benefit.
In an interview upon the decision of
the secretary of state for the colonies,
Mr.. Joseph Cham berlain, in regard to
the Atlantic fast mail project which is of
much interest to Canada, Sir Charles
Tupper said: "After seeing Mr.. Cham
berlain on the subject / wrote him let
ter dealing with the matter and making
certain proposals. Then / went to Scot
land and now that have returned Mr..
Cham berlain is away from town and
does not come back until the end Of the
present month, when a decision will
probably be given"
