LONDON, Nov. 16.-(Copyrighted by
The Associated Press.)-As if in def
a-ace 10 the iil-luck which is said to
accompany the number Is, Queen Vic
toria, today, returned to Windsor cas-
tie. from Balmoral, in a special train
consisting of thirteen cars, one of
which was a handsome large saloon
chr set apart Tor the use Of her
majesty, the other carriages containing
the members Of her suite, servants,
baggage, etc.
The queens car is fitted up as
library and dining room. 1t is richly
upholstered with white silk and its
furniture is embroidered with gold.
IN honor OF The visit OF King Carlos,
of Portugal to the queen at her High
land home, her majesty caused a
large bonfire 10 he lighted on the top
OF the Craig owen, on Saturday last,
an honor heretofore reserved for her
Immediate family.
The queen also ordered a torchlight
procession of Highlanders VINO passed
IN front Of BalmOral castle and after

presence of her majesty and King Car

The Prince Of Wales passed through
{INndon today from a. visit to the Duke
and Duchess Of Devonshire at Chats
worth, near Blackwell, Derbyshire. on
mis- way TO Sandringham. The party
at Chatsworth, which included the
Earl and Countess of Warwick was
conveyed % the races at Derby by
special train every day. Another large
Saturday-to-M0ndaY party is being
entertained at Sandringham and this
reveals the fact that while the Hon.
George CurZon. the under-secretary of
the foreign office, was one of the party
entertained by the Prince and Princess
81 W ales last week at Sandringham.

The emperor is also said to have writ
ten to the Prince of Wales expressing
the hope that the Duke OF York's son
will have the name of Shakespeare be-
slowed on him among his other names
The newspapers which have greedily
published every cabled detail of the
Marlborough-Vande wedding, con-
tinue to criticise the Americans for
supplying them.
Truth then makes it clear that New
York arch milliOnaires have not got be-
yond the elementary stage Of gold
calfism, when the calf seeks to attract
attention by the most lavish display
ot{wealth.'
T'ie common council for the first
time on record, al a stormy meeting on
Thursday, refused by large majority
TO pass the customary vote of thanks
to the retiring lord mayor, Sir Joseph
Eenals. This was mainly on account
of a dinner which Sir Joseph gave to
Barney Barnato, on the ground that
the latter had proved himself to be the
saviour of London by bolstering up his
own kaffir securities.
In short the whole Benals-Barnato
affair is causing a great stir in the
city. Barnato who, a few weeks ago,
was the most sought after man in
London, being pestered almost to sick
ness for tips from about one-half the
members of the peerage, is now in very
bad odor
All the "smartest" men and women
here at one time suffering from the
South African specializing fever, are
NOV recovering.
Big Suit Abandoned.
The suit for libel which Kate Mars
den began with such a flourish in 1894,
against the London Times, has just
been abandoned. The suit was brought
as the result of the report of the Rev.
IL Francis. rector of the American
cNIch in st. Petersburg, which was
psbhshed last year. The special charge
against Miss Marsden was that she
had practically abandoned her work,
because Of her infatuation of an in
trigue with a Russian nobleman. She
Cross society in the Turkish-Russo war
and among the lepers of Siberia, where
she travelled $4,000 miles in sledges or
on horseback to find a precious herb I
which IS said to have turned out to be
a specific for leproSy. On her return
to England she wrote a book about her !
travels. which aroused a storm in Rus /
STA, and which, it is claimed, caused !
the Russian government to attack her, |
some Of the charges made against her !
being too gross for publication. Truth |
thereupon remarked: This. under the |
circumstances, is a piece of unwarrant- |
ed impotence. Nobody in their senses |
will contribute a half penny until she |
clears her reputation.
Miss Marsden, who is about 40 years |
OF age and the daughter of a London |
lawyer, so interested the public in her I
work at one time that the Princess of /
Wales was prevailed upon to give her !
a letter to her sister, the czarina,
which paved the way for the work |
among the lepers.
A Consurs Trials.
3ne Of the greatest trials which the
American consul in London has to en-
dure is the relief of men who have
shipped here from America as cattle
men and are turned adrift at the end |
of the voyage Many Of these men en-
gagged in New York and other parts to
take care of live stock are Promised |
a small sum and return ticket for their
labor. Upon arrival, however, they
only receive few shillings and the
return passage is denied them with
the result that they are left penniless
on the London streets. There have been
numerous instances of this Kind Of
late and the consul has fairly been be-
sieged with applications for relief The
consul has frequently referred the mat
ter to Washington, but it being an is
sue OF personal contract, seems power
less to offer any redress.
