London. July 13.-The general elec-
tion. the regatta and the visit of the
Italian fleet under the Duke Of Genoa
to Spithead have been uppermost in
the public mind the past week. The
elections practically commenced yes
terday. with the returns of 36 unop-
posed candidates. including 80 conserv-
atives, three liberals and three Parnell-
ties. Mr. Goschen is the new first lord
OF the admiralty Sir Ellis Ashmead
Bartlett is a native Of Brooklyn and
was formerly civil lord Of the admiral
ty in Lord Salisbury's administration
in 1885, and again from 1856 to 1892
Mr.. Heaton is the author OF the I'm
perial ocean penny postage" scheme,
and Mr.. Mundell was formerly presi-
dent of the board OF trade. with a seat
In the cabinet Of the late liberal gov
ernment.
In regard to the Henly regatta al
not much remains to be said. The
straightforward. statement made by
Captain Freeborn on behalf of the Cor
nell crew should set at rest the rumors
spread by the friends Of the Leanders
against the fair dealing of the young
men from Ithaca.
The Italian feet arrived off Spithead
on the morning Of the 9th and later
admirals were received on board II. NJ.

channel squadron and other officers Of
the British feet. The officers after
wards returned their visit on the flag
ship. Quite a dramatic scene occurred
on board the Victory when the Duke

day. This reception is intended to be,
and is interpreted as, an offset to the
Franco-Russo demonstration on the oc-
casion of the opening of the Kaiser
Wilhelm canal between the Baltic and
North seas.
The social season has been brought
to a premature end. The elite Of the
aristocracy has been at Henley for
three days this week, but the bulk Of
the politicians have packed their
trunks and gone into the country.
The leaders Of the different political
parties are already In the thick Of the
fight and are addressing meetings
nightly. As an instance of the activ-
ity Of the leaders 1t may be mentioned
that Sir William Vernon Harcour,
who was chancellor of the exchequer
in the Rosebery cabinet. Is booked to
address three meetings in Derbyshire
on Monday. The most sensational fea-
ture Of the campaign Is the charge
which Mr.. Hoadly made against the
Irish parliamentary party at the Ma
tionalst convention at Omagh, county
Tyrone, on Monday last. The conven-
tion was called to choose candidates
for the election of Tyrone and Mr..
Healy, amid excitement. accused John
Dillon of selling Tyrone to the English
party.

in the elections, and will be supplied
with all the results by a special wire
run to Windsor Castle from London.
According to Vanity Fair she has ex-
pressed a strong opinion regarding the
so-called new woman" and especially
as to the style Of her dress. The queen,

the advanced novel," and remarked
recently to one of her encourage that
1t was a great public that was in a
mood TO buy such books, and that II
there were no purchasing public. the
pens would cease to write such matter.
