So far the reception at Windsor has made
the greatest impression ON the ShahZadas
mind. He was most cordially received
by the Queen, occupied seat at her side
in the presence chamber, and won golden
opinions by his behavior and princely bear
ing. He gave her Majesty message
from tue Ameer, expressing the sincere
hope that the good relations between the
two governments would be consolidated =,
and then addressed similar expressions OF
his own feeling, which the Queen, in the
course OF q few words, reciprocated.
Since bis arrival the Shahzada has been
in a perfect whirl of receptions and visits,

1t is expected that Viscount Cough, the
first secretary of the British embassy at

his father, succeeded to the title and
family estates at Lough Cutra Castle,
county Galway, and st. Helen's, county
Dublin, VIII soon return TO Ireland from
Washington.
As cabled yesterday, Mr. Arthur George
Vensittart, secretary OF the British lega-
tion at Munich, has been gazetted British
consul at Chicago, in succession to MT.
j. II. Saddler. Mr.. Vansittart has been
in the diplomatic service for twenty years,
and his transfer from the latter service
to the consular service is q very rare de-
parture. The consular post at Chicago is
worth f1 eco yearly.
Mr.. Marshall Field, jr., has taken Earl
Russell's beautiful little place, Amberley
cottage, at Maidenhead. The earl, whose
troubles with his erratic wife have brought
him so much before the public in an unen-
viable light, has lately been delivering ad-
dresses at Newington and other places on
Marriage morals.'

Prof White, in conversation shortly
before the departure of the train, said: Il

anxious to get home again."
Prof White was asked for an express
sion of opinion regarding the sentiment
in Europe in favor Of bimetallism. He
replied, saying:

is a country where there is so little
money that / did not pay much attention

any settlement. 1t is still in state of
ferment, and / do not think that the ac-

any great bearing on the subject. 1t is a
question which viii take America long
to decide But, we have been through a
