LONDON, Feb. S.-Soclally and politically
this has been dismal week, although there
has been a revival Of interest In politics, in
view Of the approaching opening of Parlia-
ment.
In sporting circles there has been consider
able attention aroused by the cable dispatches
announcing Yale's intention to send crew
across the Atlantic to compete at the Henley
regatta. The news met with kindly re-
ception among the amateur oarsmen, and no
doubt is felt that the appearance of sports
manlike crew, such as Yale is supposed to
be. will do much to efface the bitterness re-
sulting from the Dunraven incident and the
unfortunate experience of the Cornell crew in
England last year.
Truth, discussing the prospects of Yale
sending a crew to England says: "With
every desire to welcome Yale we cannot help
expressing the selfish wish that for one short
year no foreign crew will come to Henley.
Their presence raises the excitement to such
fever pitch that pleasure is to great
extent destroyed. However. a crew or two
VIII undoubtedly come. and In order to meet
emergencies. the Oxford University Boat club
has ordered more racing boats"
1t Is not disguised here that the success Of
the popular lean In the United States was
great surprise. and is held to justify the
more hopeful view Of the situation. 1t is
generally interpreted as showing that the
Americans believe that the loan will not be
repaid In silver. representative of the
Associated press called yesterday at the
Rothschilds banking house and asked the
representative of the firm what he thought
of the new United States loan. He said:
''The promptitude with which the loan was
taken was something OF a surprise to London
bankers. President Cleveland is to be con-
graduated upon its success. There may,
however, be some trouble in readily finding
gold to take the bonds. In that case 1t
would have been more easily accomplished by
a syndicate. do not know what proportion
OF the loan is subscribed for in Europe. but
j think Ii Is only a small amount"
At the j. s. Morgan banking house a rep
resentative of that firm remarked: II can
not say accurately until the government
award is published how many bonds were
sold to Europe. thing about IS 900 .OOO."
At Brown. Shipley a Co.'s representative
OF the firm said: II have had some orders
from customers. but nothing in proportion to
the former loan"
The secretary OF the Bimetallic league re-
marked: II am not inclined to see simply a
gold issue In the wonderful manner In which
the loan was subscribed. 1t seems to have
come from general sources, and do not be-
lieve the subscribers are among the silver
men. ! regard 1t entirely as a gold loan"
OSBORNE GOES TO BEATRICE
II is stated in some OF the newspapers that
In the event OF the death Of the queen it
Will be found that her majesty has be-
queathed Osborne house to Princess Beatrice,
including the right Of gift OF the living of
