DR.. Benson's Plans for the Lambeth
Meeting to BE FolIowed-News
of London.
LONDON, Nov. 2S-The Rt. Rev. DR..
Temple, archbishop of Canterbury, in
an Interview extended to the Associat-
ed Press on the Pan-American confer
ence. said:
AT present I do not know Of any
changes that will be made in the pro-
gramme for the Lambeth conference in
consequence of the death Of DR.. Ben
son. / have been so overwhelmed with
affairs that I have not had time to
carefully consider the matter. Doubt
less there will be some changes that
Will have to be made, but nothing
material as far as the American bish-
200 bishops to be present, and the most
important contingent from abroad will
be those from the United States. We,
In England, always consider the Amer
lean bishops, though the Episcopalians
are not as numerous as some other
Christian bodies in America, to rep
resent the American people.
"One of the topics for discussion is
international Arbitration and may
say that the bishops in England are
profoundly thankful for the turn that
the recent political events have taken.
/ do hope all of our brothers in the
United States and Canada, who have
intimated the probability of their COM
ing will manage to do SO, and that
those who at present anticipate being
prevented, will yet see their way to
visit Lambeth by July next. I need
hardly add, perhaps, that the candid
invitation sent them by the late pri-
mate will be repeated by myself in the
fullest degree
1t is now announced that the govern
ment will devote FL, O0O,0 to the en-
dCwment of Roman Catholic univer-
sity in Ireland. This, 1t is believed, is
possibly one of the things which the
chief secretary for Ireland, Mr.. Ger
aid Balfour, promised Mr.. Timothy
Healy for the latter's support of the
governments land bill last session.
Sir John Sloane, who in 1885, devised
q number Of pictures and statues, ETC.,
to the Sloane museum, INDUCED in
testamentary joke. He left three
sealed cupboards to be opened by his
executors in 1866, 1886 and 1896. The
last one was opened on Monday, and,
much to the chagrin of the executors,
who expected to make valuable find,
1t was, like the two previous cup
boards, empty of all but va1ueless
papers.

and the principal society of the Union
of the Country house season, was the
visit this week of the prince and prin-
cess of Wales to Blenheim.
WEEK AT BLENHEIM.
The programme Of the festivities Of
Blenheim was carried out with sue
/ cess. The sporting features were all
that the prince Of Wales could desire,
| accustomed as he is to sample the
finest shooting in Great Britain. To
the crowds Of reporters and to the
townsrnen generally, the duke of MARI
borough made himself extremely I'M
popular. He refused to see reporters,
but allowed his agent, who reflects the
dukes airs in a still more offensive
way, TO see Two OF Three representa-
tives Of the press, who were requested
by the agent, while they were In the
park during the prince Of Wales visit,
to wear high silk hats and frock
coats.
There is much speculation among
Americans in London as to who will
be the next ambassador to the court Of
ST. James. 1t is hoped that with
change of ambassadors the United
States government will find 1t adv1sa-
BILE to change the embassy as Well Inc
present quarters, the ground floor OF
a dingy fat in Victoria street are not
imposing and do not compare favorably
with the splendid houses provided by
the other governments to the French,
German and other ambassadors.
The cycle show at the Agricultural
hall, Islington. has, during the past

comprised about twenty different conf
panies.

concerning musical matters from let
tiers written to her by her husband, Sir
Charles The book will form COM
plete history of musical events in Eng

Mr.. Pritchard Morgan, M. F., who is
interested in the gold mines of North
Wales which were discovered by him,
accompanied by a number of mining
experts has started for China via the

was in England and it is presumed that
Mr. Morgan is going to prospect Tor
gold.
The Drury Lane pantomime of this
year. while closely following the ira
ditions of Drury Lane, will differ in
some respects from those formerly ar
ranged by Sir Augustus Harris. 1t
will be run more on the line of Wilson
Barretts former productions at the
Lyceum theater, and will include more
fun and low comedy than Sir Au-
gustus thought fit to inJerpolate. The
spectacles and tableaux will more
closely follow the story, whose sub
ject this year is Aladdin"
This years performance of the
Elizabethan State society will be THE
Two Gentlemen of Verona" which will
be given at the Merchant Tailors' hall

the precincts of the city proper.
