Associated Press with an advance copy Of
the report which he will make at the meet
ing OF the authors society Monday. In
this report he ventures the opinion that
nothing in the Venezuelan or Transvaal
questions can be found more liable TO breed
serious international and colonial disputes
than the Canadian copyright question. He
points out in his statement the power that
Canada has TO embroil England in a quar-
rel through unfriendly legislation toward

The news OF the death of Prince Henry
Of Battenberg threw deep cloud over
the court, and the cnange can only be fairly
realized when the state of affairs at Os-
borne House now is compared with the
gayety there at the opening of the week.
On Monday there was decidedly festive
scene at Osborne. An amateur perform
ance of Pinero's 1.-The Money Spinner was
then given by members OF the court, and
was witnessed by the Queen. Princess
Beatrice and others OF the royal family
and all the ladies' and gentlemen Of
her Majssty's household. The Queen great
ly enjoyed the piece. and so did the
Princess. little knowing that at about the
time the performance commenced her hus-
band was breathing his last at sea. In fact.
the Queen and the Princess were so delight
ed with the work OF the amateur actors and
actresses that invitations were issued for
another performance TO take place on
Thursday. Everything connected with the
court Is now changed, and the trades peo-
pie will be the first to feel the effects of
the blow. All the social fetes and func-
tions are Cancelled during the six weeks
mourning, which are to follow the death of
Prince Henry. and this means great loss
OF business to those who depend upon the
expenditures OF the court and society for
prosperity. The full state mourning will
last until Feb. o.
1t Is understood that the Prince of Wales,
the Duke of Connaught and the Earl Of
Iathom. the Lord Chamberlain, are making
the necessary arrangements for a semi
state military funeral at Windsor. Follow
ing the precedent in the case of the Duke
OF Albany. youngest son of the Queen. who
died at Cannes, south of France, In 1884, the
remains will be brought to Portsmouth.
where they will be received with salutes
from the batteries and war ships, and will
be conveyed thence by rail to Windsor.
Probably the Prince of Wales and the Duke
Blonde in the channel and accompany the
body to port. 1t has been definitely settled
that the remains are to be buried in Whip
bingham Church, beneath the royal pew, in
accordance with his will.
The death OF Prince Henry has shown him
those who knew him. and even those who
did not have that pleasure have nothing but
7 kind words for the soldier who died for
sickness instead OF on the field of battle, as
he would undoubtedly have preferred. His
sad end, llkened to that or the Prince
Imperial OF France. has recalled the old
story that Princess Beatrice might have
been welded to the son OF ex-Empress
Eugene had he not met his death while
fighting with the British against the Zulus,
and there Is much romantic sympathy
EXPRESSED fer the widowed Princess. who
seems to have twice had her heart wrung
with sorrow as a result Of Britain's wars in
Africa -
The events of the past few weeks are said
to have proved great strain on the health
OF the Marquis of Salisbury. He looks much
tagged and is undoubtedly In need of rest
He was seen ascending the Duke of York S
steps from st. James Park very slowly and
with evident difficulty Just after the news
of the death of Prince Henry of Battenburg
was received. Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, the
Secretary of State for the Colonies. was de-
scending the steps at the same moment, and
ne almost brushed elbows with the MARQUIS
OF Salisbury in passing him and stared hard
at the Premier. But the Marquis did not
seem to notice Mr.. Chamberlain. and the
latter seemed very much puzzled over the
bottom OF the steps he stopped for mo-
ment or so and watched him as he disap-
peared in Pail Mail.
