a general exodus from London on

so hurrying away to the country OF

The princess of Wales has aban-
doned her contemplated journey tc
Denmark, where she was to visit her

including the duke and duchess OF

Those Growing Differences.
Parliament will not meet again until
April %, which may give time for a
change in the political atmosphere,
The situation is now charged with
electricity, and rupture between the
conservative and the liberal unioniSts
is predicted.
There are growing differences in
policy between the Right Hon. A. ].
Balfour, the conservative leader in the
house Of commons, and the Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlin. the leader of the
liberal unionists. The latter is known
to bitterly resent the recent criticisms
upon his conduct which have appeared
in different conservative newspapers,
and as a result he has sounded a note
Of warning in his newspaper organ at
Birmingham, for which city he has
been one of the representatives in
parliament since 1878. There is no
doubt that the liberal unionists are
becoming alarmed at the leanings of
certain prominent members of the con-
servative party toward what is known
here as fair trade
The Birmingham Post, the other day
discussing this feature of the conserva-
tive policy, declared: eff free trade
and free corn are to be put in the
balance against an Irish nationalist
parliament, then we say that the latter
would be an infinitely lesser evil than
return to protection"
American Horses.
Those who are in charge of the
string Of American horses belonging
TO Mr.. Croker and Mr.. Dwyer, of New
York, which are now in active train
ing at Newmarket, for a number Of
Important events of the racing sea-
son here, are reticent concerning the
date of their first appearance in pub
lie. But the American horses are be-
ginning to be looked upon with more
respect than when they first landed
in England ait. the end OF January last.
Consequently the chances of StonneIl.
Dobbins, Don Alonzo, Banquet, Harry
Reed, Montauk and others are being
quietly discussed by the sporting fra
ternity. The Newmarket edition of
the Sporting Times, considered by
some people to be the leading sporting
paper in England, referring to the
prospects Of THE American horses,
says: 1.-THE Americans are gradually
coming in favor at Newmarket as
their trials progress They are GER
tainly fine looking lot, and there are
already several good judges who think
they may give US trouble. If our han
dicap horses are bad, Stonnell may
cut US UP as easily as Parole and Fox
hall did some years ago. AT any rate
] have seen enough TO make me re-
gard them as extremely dangerous"
"ROyaI Iaundy."
