Making Ready.
On all sides the agents Of both par
ties are actively preparing for the fray
The rust is being rubbed off the time
worn suits Of political armor and all
the old weapons Of a British electoral
campaign are being FURNISHED up to
the highest point of brightness. Quiet
canvassing IS already going on in some
quarters and the Primrose league is
preparing to rally to the standard of
the marquis of Salisbury, the army OF
Tories, eager for the battle, the result
of which is looked upon as certain 70

The campaign will begin in deadly
earnest next week when Lord Rose

Tory ranks In an address which he is
to deliver at Derby, the seat of which
he has represented in parliament since
1880.
Following the booming of these

be heard a fierce reply from the bat

Conservative unionist parties, includ-
ing the marquis of Salisbury, the
Right Hor. A. J. Balfour and the
Right Eon. Joseph Chamberlain. now
dubbed "Judus" by the Irish Nation

along the lines of both the Liberal and
Conservative forces and the engage

on each side who can be expected to
win a vote by speech will be called
upon to do so and hot exchange Of
recriminations will fill the air until
the polling clears away the smoke of
battle.
Victoria 3ejofces.
The Vanity Fair says it is under

at the change of government, and she
hoped that a very solid and able min
lister would be selected to control the
admiralty department as first lord of
the admiralty. Her majesty has re-

that the earl of Kimberly ex-secretary

The work of building up the new
cabinet is finished and the Hon. George
N Curzon, member from South Lanc9-
shire, IS under secretary of state for
foreign affairs which office. however

seat in the cabinet. But it is not quite
certain that Mr.. Curzon will be re-
elected, as Mr.. Thyler-Leland. also
Conservative, has announced his inten-

Movements of Royalty.
The Princess of Wales and her
daughters have planned to go to Den
mark at the end of July and they are
expected to remain in that country two
months, the guests of the king and
queen Of Denmark, the father and
mother of the Prince of Wales.
Prince Henry of Battenburg was en-
joying himself at Ascot when he re-
ceived a peremptory telegram summon
ing him to BaImoral to attent the
opening Of the Crathie church, much
to his disgust it may be imagined.
There has been much derisiVe COM

the papers that the Duke of Fife SON
in-law Of the Prince of Wales, honored
Lord and Lady Londonderry with his
company to dinner in the same terms
as is used when royalty honors the ar

entertainment. The Duke of Fife, it
should be added, has never been popu-
lar and the Londonderrys occupy a far
more high position in society than he
does, despite the fact that he married
the Princess Louise of Wales.
The Princess of Wales paid Mr.. and
Mrs. George n. Curzon a great honor
on Thursday, when she dined with
them in company with Nazrulla Khan.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fonbes-Leith gave
ball on Friday last. at which Prince
and Princess Christian and other mem
bers of the royal family were present,
with a host of members OF the aris-
tocracy.
