LONDON. Nov. THE election in the
United States has completely overshadowed
all ether events during the week on this
side OF the water. Englishmen have never
been known to take such interest in a for
eign event, and the newspapers Of this me-
tropolis have never reported one so fully.
In addition to the most voluminous. prompt,
accurate and every way efficient report ca
bed from New York to the Reuter- Tele-
gram company, nearly all the London news
papers had long special cable messages on
the subject. and published diagrams and
maps in order TO assist in explaining the
political situation TO their readers. all of
which is having a beneficial effect here, as
it is teaching Englshmen to know the sit
uation better than they could in the past,
and enables them to realize the great worth
Of the country which many Of them have been
inclined to look upon in anything but
the proper light. In addition. several Of
the newspapers published more or less APP
propriate cartoons. and Punch, which is
published on Wednesday morning, showed
remarkable enterprise for that historical
periodical in presenting a cartoon by sad-
borne entitled "Columbia's Choice" and
showing a statue Of Mckinley.

monds In returning thanks for this gift

The sensational speech Of the duchess OF
Orleans has caused some stir in Paris. EN-
peror Francis Joseph's dsavowal OF the
speech in the princess behalf does not
prove that the story is not true, and is
looked upon as only intended TO be an apol-
ogy to the French government by seeming
to rebuke the duchess. who, it is added,
spoke without having consulted him.
1t is stated in this connection that the
duke Of Orleans will shortly issue proc
lamation TO his followers, announcing his
alliance with the house Of Hapsburg. In
Paris Yesterday there was a sort Of royalist
demonstration. a number OF royalists
walked up and down the bouleyards and
handed to passersby a royalist manifesto
and portraits Of the duke OF Orleans. In
addition. during the night royalist placards
were posted and a number Of youths brought
TO the Point Neut bust OF the republic with
its face painted black, PhrygaL cap on its
head, smothered in red paint and with
pipe stuck in it's mouth. The bust was
hung by the neck around the railing OF
Henry Tvs statue, and was inscribed 1895
lss6-Good King Henry Has His Revenge"
Fire crackers were exploded around the

the police interfered and dispersed them.

Pacific slope are living in country that
has very manifestly ways and a will OF
its own. They have adapted them and their
environment TO what it seems good to them
to do, and that they do. With many of
them fancy goes no farther than wearing
black shirts. With others it takes stronger
flights and scars to cleaning out banks and
holding up trains"
