LORD WolSELEY MAY BE PROMOTED

London, Aug. 1.-The speech of the Duke of Marlborough on Thursday in the house of lords in moving the address in reply to the queens speech is regarded as very clever and has won from the duke compliments on all sides. The Lon don representative of the United Press learns that it is the dukes intention to leave London for a visit to the United States in the course of a few weeks, taking with him only one servant. His object in making the visit is to see the country, for which he has great ad miration, which his step-mother, now Lady William Beresford, encourages.
 Despite the heavy rain storms which occurred during the entertainment of Emperor 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 instead of the theatrical attire that he wears on his hunting expeditions in Germany. This costume consists of a braided tunic. high boots and tyrolean hat adorned with feathers. These, how ever, his majesty discarded on this occa- sion, having ordered from London tailor suits, grayish-brown in color, and of a pattern similar to the Prince or Wales shooting dress. The kaiser, 1t is said, has decided to adopt this costume for hunting and his example will be fol- lowed by majority of his suite
 His majesty during his visit to Eng land gave grave offense to NaZrulla 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 ex- cites public curiosity: It is known that he has received an almost unlimited number of hints from the queen to leave England, and she has told him that he need not again visit any member Of the royal family, and so Nazrulla never leaves the grounds of Dorchester house, where he is staying. The governments of the countries also which 1t was Nag rulia's intention to visit have all pub- licly refused to receive him. The refusal of the Sultan of Turkey has been made public. In it the sultan states that in compliance with request of M. Neili- doff, the Russian ambassador to Turkey, he cannot receive the son of the ameer if he should carry out his intention to visit Turkey.
 Vanity Fair says it is likely Sir Ju- Han Pauncefote British ambassador to the United States, will be asked to sue eeed Sir Edward Mallet as the represent atiVe of Great Britain at Berlin, ana that if Sir Juian desires to remain in Washington Sir Phillip Currie, British ambassador a Constantinople, will be named as Sir Edwards successor The nomination of either of the diplomats mentioned would be generally satisfac- tory.
 It is announced today that Lord Lans- downe secretary of war will make statement in the house of lords in re- gard to the er-in-chieftainshlp of the British army. The report tha1 Field Marshal Lord Wolseley will sue eeed the Duke of Cambridge as com mander-in-chief is regarded as true.
 The question of the future leadership or the liberal party is causing good deal of excitement and talk in political cir cles. The speaker today angrlly de- nounced the action of irresponsible eA- tremists in trying to force the Irish to a position of supremacy in the party, and says it would be thought that these persons had already done enough mis- chief The paper further expands upon the latter statement and says Lord Rose bery was in the minority in his own cab inet and was not to blame TOT HIS laeei- cal blunders.
 The Speaker also devotes a leading ar ticle to an eulogy of Lord RoSepery anu his speech in the house or lords on Thursday last, saying that the ex-pre- mier's address shows the temper of the real leader of the liberal party, which is certain to be re-echoed by the party itself The radical section, however, met .vesterday and took a diametrically op- posite step.
 They decided to remove their commit fees headauarters from the building which they have hitherto shared with the committee of the national liberal red eration The committee also decided not to appoint a chairman, but almost all of them are supporters or SIT Charies Dflke, and feelers have been sent out Tn order to ascertain what hostility exists to his assuming the leadership. The pre- yailing feeling of bitterness towards the leaders in the last government Improves Sir Charles Dilke'S chances. He has ln- formed his colleagues that he intends to take an active part in the debates during the parliamentary session and IS Wiling to formulate a line of action if the mem- bers of the late government refuse to do so.
 With the exception of Lord Rosebery, the Earl of Kimberly and Earl Spencer the members of Lord Roseberys govern ment met on Wednesday at the house of James Bryce, and it was there decided not to suggest or inspire any amend ment to the address in reply to the uueen's speech, but not to hinder their followers from doing so if they so de- sired,
 Lord Salisbury, the premier. will go next week to his villa near Dieppe, whither the marchoness has already gone The officials of the foreign office have already found the premier and sec retary of state for foreign affairs to be a great trouble, after the routine docility of Lord Kimberly, his predecessor in the foreign ministry. Unless his lordship has an appointment with some ambassa- dor or deputation the officials under him never have the faintest idea as to when he is likely to arrive at or depart from their office. He sometimes goes in side door. and often locks himself in his pri- yate office and looks over carefully the important documents. making whatever changes is necessary in them late in the night, but in this respect his lordship is not as bad as was the late
