LONDON, June Gable dispatches re-
ceived here yesterday told OF the intense
heat which has been prevailing In New
York, and so 1t may interest people on he
other side OF the Atlantic to know
that London has been weltering
in sympathy. This metropolis has
had full week Of blazing
sunshine and intense heat. On Thursday
the Thermometers registered SO degrees in
the shade, the highest figures recorded
here in 27 years. But the heat has had
good effect upon certain lines of business
as every body is buying light clothing.
The state ball at Bucking ham Palace on
Thursday last was the most brilliant
affair Of the kind in years past.
There were very few Americans
present, and IL was noticeable that
the published list of the persons in
vited did not include the names Of Mr..
and Mrs. Ogden Goelet, or Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Wiuslow, or, in fact, of any OF
the Prince of Wales Riviera friends.
The English newspapers are now open
ly alluding to the troubles and trials of
the Princess OF Wales, the substance of
which was cabled to The Associated Press
at the time the Princess declined to re-
present Queen Victoria at the drawing
room held at Buckingham Palace,
when she was informed that q certain
peeress, to whom the Prince has for years
paid much attention, was TO be present.
Such for instance say that the Princess is
"greatly worried over certain private
bothers and she only remains in England
in Difference to the Queens
wish. She declined to hold the last draw
ing room because she expected the pres
ence there of certain parsonage whom
she detests." The criticisms OF Alphonse
Daude, the distinguished French
outhor, who had been visiting
England, are raising quite storm in
social circles. He said that English
women are utter strangers TO elegance
and good taste, adding: "The English we
encounter in Paris, with flattened down
hair and huge feet, found differed
in no single particular from the English
lady OF rank whom we met in London.
| They are not handsome in features and
there is nothing seductive about their
| physical form"
Two American beauties are likely to
take prominent part in the coming
| general election. Captain Naylor- Leland,
who married Miss Jenny Cham ber-
lain, daughter of IL. S. Chamberlain
OF Cleveland, Ohio, will be the candidate
for the Southern division OF Lam
caster, which division is now
represented on the part of
the Commons by the Hon. George
n. Curzeon who married Miss Mary Letter
OF Washington and Chicago, and as it is
whispered that the two American ladies
are to take an nctiue part in the canvass,
some lively eloctioneering work may be
anticipated On both sides. Captain
Naylor- Leland represented Colches-
ter in the House OF Com
mons, but he resigned his seat
on Feb. 20, last. number of important
engagements in the musical world have
recently been made for America
Franz Oudrick, the celo brsted
violinist, who has been play
! ing in the London Philharmonic
concerts, will take an extended con-
cert tour in the United States this
fall. Moriz Resenthall, the pianist,
will give series OF fftB
concerts, and Mime DeVere Sapio, the
well known soprano, will make her
! appearance. In addition to this, art
ists Mr.. and Mrs. George Hen
schel, will appear in 20 concerts
during the spring OF o6. The principal
event of the week in the theatrical world
has been the temperance of Sarah Bern
! hardt at Days Theater in the drama
"Gismonda."
