House of Lords antisthe House of Commons

The concensus OF opinion Is that the new
Parliament contains much good society
material, there being among the members
of the House of Commons an abnormal num-
ber Of young and wealthy men.
The speech Of the Duke Of Marlborough
on Thursday i'll the House of Lords, in NOV
ing the address in reply to the Queens
speech, is regarded as very clever, and has
won for the Duke compliments from all
parties. The London representative of
the United p ress learns that it is the Dukes
intention to leave London for a visit to the
United States in a course Of a few weeks,
taking with him only one servant. His OBJ
tect in making the visit is to see the country,
for which he entertains great admiration,
which his steplnOther, now Lady William
Beresford. encourages.
Despite the heavy rain storms which oc-
CURED during the entertainment of En-
peror William Of Germany by the Earl
of Lonsdale. his majesty's visit was a
decided success. On the 12th instant the
Kaiser shot fifty brace of grouse. The
Emperor greatly astonished his suite by
appearing in an ordinary shooting suit in
stead OF the theatrical attire that he wears
on his hunting expeditions in Germany.
This costume consists of a braided tunic,
high boots, and a Tyrolean hat adorned
with feathers. These, however, his maj
esty discarded on this occasion, having or
dered from a London tailor a couple Of
hunting suits, grayish brown in color, and
OF a pattern similar to the Prince OF
Wales shooting dress. The Kaiser, 1t is
said, has decided to adopt this costume
for hunting, and his example will be fol-
lowed by a majority OF his suite.
sNUBBED THE AFGHAN.
His Majesty, during his visit to England,
gave grave cffense to Nasrulla Khan, the
Afghan prince, who has for some time
past been in England, by failing to ask the
prince to meet him. and by not sending him
any message or letter. The position OF the
prince excites public clriosity. II is known
that he has received m almost unlimited
number OF hints from the Queen to leave
England, and that she has told him that he
need not again visit any member of the
royal family and SO Nasrulla never leaves
the grounds OF dorchester house, where
he is staying. The government OF the
countries, also, which it was Nasrulla's s
intention to visit. have all politely refused
to receive him. The refusal of the Sultan
of Turkey has been made public. In it the
Sultan states that in compliance with a
request OF NJ. Neiidoff, the Russian am
bassador to Turkey, he cannot receive the
son of the Ameer If he should carry out his
intention to visit TuTkey.
Turf circles are Still Indignant over the
account OF the interview with Mr.. Al. F.
Dwyer cabled from New York. The MEM
Der of the Tatter SAILS committee, to
whom the cabled account of the interview
was shown recently, said, after having
conversed with uun Der of prominent
persons in the paddock at Kenpton Park:
CAN'T PLAY IT.
1.-THE opinion here is that Messrs. Croker
and Dwyer failed in thinking they could
play the same game here as they play in
America and use their money as power
to command other owners. There are too
many big Independent men here who un-
derstand racing thoroughly for such plans
to succeed. The practice of putting horses
worth f1 800 in races the winner of which
is to be sold at f2OO is an old business.
The Marquis of Hastings introduced it
thirty years ago, and. plugging, made
heavy winnings. Nowadays, however,
the bookma akers keep a sharp lookout for
such moves, and whenthey are discovered
cramp their prices accordingly"
The member, when asked II Mr.. Croker
would make his English racing pay, said
that was q different matter. Charley Nor
ton, who formerly trained Squire Abing-
don Baird's horses, and who is now in Mr..
Crokers employ is a clever trainer and ad-
wiser, and may win lot of money for his
employer. Mr.. Croker remains at Newman
ket, where he passes his time in close atten-
ton TO his horses. He, however, makes fire.
Quent visits to Lowestoft, where his wife
and other members of his family are spend
ing the holidays If he watches events in
the political field of New York he does not
give any sign of the fact. In the course the
interview with him onsFriday Mr.. Croker
said, In reply to a question in reference to
the recent dissensions among the New York
police commissioners, that he had nothing
to say upon the subject.
1t is stated that the Duke of York is
prepared to sell a valuable collection Of
postage stamps, which he wishes to dis
pose of as it stands, while Baron Ferdinand
de Rothschild, who has made the most
liberal offer for the collection thus far
received, wants to take only the rarest
specimens. Several of the most valuable
stamps in the collection are insured.
WILLPROBABLY REMAIN.
Vanity Fair says it is likely Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British Ambassador to the
United States, win be asked to succeed
Sir Edward Malet as the representative of
Great Britain at Berlin, and that If Sir
Julian desires to remain in Washington,
Sir Philip Currie, British Ambassador at
Constautinople, will be named as Sir
Edwards successor. The nomination Of
either of the diplomats mentioned would
be generally satisfactory.
The question of the development of mines
In British Columbia is at present attra citing
much attention in financial circles in the
city, and it is probable that several mining
experts will visit the province in the au
tunin. II the reports made by them of the
results of their Investigations shall be ia
yorabIe a large influx Of British capital
may be expe cted.
During the Cowes regatta week one of
the first yacht designers in the country was
heard to say thati he had never before
seen such rubbish as the sails and rigging of
Mr. Howard GouldS twenty -rater Mag
ara and that with English rigging and an
English crew ON boam of her he would be
willing to wager odds Of o to 1 that she
would prove to be ten minutes faster than
any boat OF her classin England.
