at Windsor castle. where an excep-
tional number Of entertainments have
been given with pomp and ceremony OF
the court. but which to her majesty is
distasteful.
The visit of the Italian feet to Port
mouth last week was followed by the
Spanish squadron at Plymouth. where
the Spaniards were treated with the
greatest cordiality in accordance with
the queens own instructions sent TO
the authorities at Plymouth An in
teresting remark In this connection was
made by the queen during the course
Of the dinner at Windsor previous to
her majesty's departure for Osborne.
A guest suggested that the visit of the
warships of Spain would have been
more interesting IL the Spanish and
Italian sailors fraternized at Ports
mouth. where the Spaniards would
have been able to see more naval works
than they could at Plymouth. There
upon the queen observed that possibly
Plymouth hoe would interest them
more. This reference to the historic
scene there at the time of the Amanda
she emphasized by contrasting the his
torical dispatch sent from Plymouth to
Queen Elizabeth at Windsor 800 years
ago with her own kindly message sent
that day instructing the authorities
at Plymouth to show the Spanish SAIL
ors the warmest hospitality. 1t was

regime will flourish during the admin

There Is no doubt the hostesses among
the conservatives and unionists are
many and distinguished. The Marquis
of Salisbury's parties and receptions
have always been famous and ex-
tremely exclusive. On the other hand
the Duchess Of Devonshire and Mrs.
Joseph Chamberlain, formerly Miss
Mary Endicott Of Boston. will uphold
the prestige OF the liberal unionists,
while the Duchess OF Portland and
Countess Cadogan will ably second the
Marquis OF Salisburys efforts.
, A great many Americans whose
minds run to politics took advantage
of the elections in London to study the
manner of conducting them as COM
, pared with tho American methods. All
the Americans agreed that the differ
ence in conducting elections In London
, and the larger cities of the United
} States Is not as great as might be ex-
pected. What they saw simply con-

very much the same everywhere.

tions. said: II think that politics here

great deal more money Is spent on It.
Campaign literature Is not only more
; prolific than In the United States. but

and cartoons that are distributed must
represent a great outlay OF money
