priyates who had never heard of Mr..
Depew and had never seen Irving save
from the shilling-gallery. The privates of
the London Honorable Artillery gave little
anxiety to those who knew them best at
the outset, for they are socially of vastly
different grade from the Boston visitors,
and this generally makes things awkward
in England; but, thanks to the wild whirl
of activity imposed on every body by the
programme, there was time for nothing
but ardent and sustained cheerfulness all
around.
Mr.. Bayard's noble speech caught these
Young clerks and ShOpmen OF London.
Open mouthed in wonder and admiration,
they cheered him and all his words about
the common ties of the two lands as they
probably never had cneered anything be-
fore in their lives, and the Bostonians were
equally vociferous.
1t was the Prince of Wales, however,
who was the real hero of the occasion,
and who along with the Princess-who
Yesterday made the pretty point of hav-
ing the stars and stripes brought to her
and fondling the silk in her hands-will
remain uppermost in the memory of the
Ancients.
Nothing has been lacking to prove what
/ insisted on last January that, so far as
the court here is concerned. it is pro-
foundry anxious to maintain the warmest
relations between the two countries. A
century ago it was the court which hated
the American and the politicians who de-
plored this hatred. George IIps only liv-
ing grandson, the Duke OF Cam bridge.

but his cousin Victoria has another view.
and her son and heir goes SO much farther
in the same direction that by comparison
the modern English politicians seem
almost anti-American.
Madagascar, / am told, is destined to
figure very prominently in Anglo-French
discussions during the next few months.
There is concerted effort on the part of
the small French colony of office-seekers
and contract-mongers out there to get rid
of the resident General Laroche, whose
double offense is that he is learning the
urgent native problem and is resolutely
extending fair play to the English-spesk-
ing missionaries on the island. 1t is pos
sible that Laroche may keep ms place,

JONES MADE CHAIRMAN.
Succeeds Harrity in Guiding the
Destlnies of the Democratic
National Committee,

CHICAGO, ILL, July lin accordance
with the call issued by Chairman Harrity
OF the National Committee the mem bers of
the old and new organizations met at the
Palmer House at o'clock this afternoon.
There were present all told about seventy
i've gentlemen and besides the members
OF the committee number of newspaper
men were given seats. Mr.. Harrity said
after calling the members to order. that
the meeting was held in accordance with
the general custom of bringing together
the members OF the old and new commit
tees after the convention had compIeted
its work, in order to become acquainted
and that authority might be given to close
up the business in connection with the
convention, which now consisted largely.

standing and to return to the treasurer of
the citizens committee something of q
surplus for distribution to the contributors

but they have no actual majority because
of the much smaller Liberal minority.

Liberals on the second ballot threw their

and their leading journals for the past
week have been urging that il is. Hence
to-morrow's results may have some inter-
esting surprises.
From many points of view it would be
easy TO exaggerate the international sig
nificance of the Joyous good time which
all classes OF LoDdoners are conspiring. to
give the Ancient and Honorable visitors
from Boston. Individually they are types
of the Americans who have always been
delightfully."- welcomed here by all who had
the chance of meeting them.
Their coming in body, with guns. flags
and that superb Salem Cadet band-which
knocks everything LoEdoners are in the
habit of hearing-has simply multiplied
this chance of extended hospitality to an
indefinite degree. Their hosts are already
looking rather pailid and used up. but the
guests are still as bright as dollar. They
know the whole royal family and a good
part of the peerage by sight, and as for
the Prince OF Wales, ne seems to be an old
friend to them. 1t was delightful to note.
when they met for the first time Thurs
day evening, with what electric swiftness
both the Prince and the visitors recognized
that they were made for one another. All
through the evening the Prince wore a
broad and unctuous smile--like nothing
else so much as it was like the grin on the
conventional effigies OF King Gam brinus-
and the Ancients could hardly eat dinner
for their eagerness to be up on their feet.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 1.-THE
English yacht Valkyrie is to be taken back
to England under the orders of the Earl OF
Dunrayen. who is still her owner. The
skipper, Captain w J. Dixon, who is to
return her to the Clyde, came over on the
American liner st. Louis, which arrived
last night.
Captain Dixon said: al have been sent
over to take the Valkyrie back to England
and shall leave here as soon as l can get
her stores on board. We shall probably
get away next Monday, and if not then. by
Tuesday at the latest. We shall proceed
at once to the Clyde, where she will be
hauled out and put in racing trim. If she
can be got ready in time, she will be seen
in the Cowes regatta against the German
Emperor's new yacht, the Meteor, and the
Britannia. If she is not ready for that
regatta, she will be taken to the Mediter-
ranean for the racing there"

though this is dependent on the vicissi-
tudes of home politics. But it is morally
certain that the English-speaking mis-
sionaries will have to get out. Already
their position is very unpleasant, and the
French colonial party is egging on the
colonists to render that position insuffera-
bic. 1t is the fact that they teach English
in the native schools to which objection is
chiefly made, and by fair means or foul,
this is bound to be stopped. America, it
is understood, is quite as directly affected
by this as England is, but it is not thought
that even joint "Reminiscences from Wash
ington and London will produce any re-
suits.
The news that the Duke of Wellington
is seriously i'll had served to recall to the
public the fact that this great title is not
extinct. The present Duke, during the
twelve years OF his incumbency, has hardly
been mentioned in public hearing. All
that is said of him now is that physically
he presents an extraordinary likeness to
the late Mr.. Spurgeon in his latter years
of gross unwieldiness of bulk and swollen
features.

that this advantage, if it be one, is more
than balanced by other effects of the

girls who have machines are defiant of
discipline and will no longer work regu-

and reproof when necessary. They have
grown both idle and impudent, with the
result that it is going to be necessary next

There Is a great showing just now on the

ment work had been commenced on this
work on the ledge close to tina lie Roi west
