| London, Nov. THE election in ths
| United States has completely overshad-
owed all other events during the week on
this side of the water. Englishmen have
never been known to take such interest
! IN the foreign event, and the newspapers
! Of this metropolis have never reported so
fully. In addition to the vast voluInin-
Gus, prompt accurate. and every way
efficient report cabled from New York TIC
| the Reuter- Telegram company, nearly all
! the London newspapers had long special
| cable messages on the same 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
Englishmen to know the United States
better than they have ever done in the
past, and to recognize the true worth and
greatness of the country which many
OF them have been inclined to look upon
in everything but the proper light. In
addition, several of the newspapers pub
lished more or less appropriate cartoons,
Punch, which is published on "Wednesday
mornings, showing remarkable enter
prise, for that historical periodical, IN
presenting a cartoon Of Sauborne entitl-
ed 'tColuntbia's Choice" and showing a
statute of Mckinley.
WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.
Diplomatic circles in Vienna have been
excited and French political circles have
been incensed by the reported reply of
Archduchess Marie Dorothea of Austria,
who was married on Thursday to the
duke of Orleans, pretender to the French
throne, made to twenty-five ladies of the
French legitimist aristocracy. who at
tended the wedding and presented the
bride with a magnificent crown of dia-
monds. In returning thanks for this gift.
the archduchess said in French:
Il nope this crown will one day be
placed upon the head Of my dear PHILIPPE.
If that day ever arrives shall know now
10 second my husband and do my whole
duty"
The value Of the real property in Lon
don is exemplified by the award of f26,
600 (s130,00G) given to Lord Portman for
fifteen acres of ground required by the
rev Manchester and Sheffield railroad
for site on which to build station, etc.
The property adjoins forty-six acres of
the Eyre estate, for which the same rail-
read was compelled to pay over $1,5o0,0 COO.
The close of the French racing season
finds NJ. Edmond Blanc displacing Baron
Echickler at the head of the list of WIN
ming owners. Mr.. Blanc wirs about f26.-
coo, NJ Manor is second with 5000 and
N. SALARY is third with f1S,000. Baron
Schickler won less than f1s,000, and the
winnings of Rothchilds with their large
working stable, were less than $4,000.
MILITARY BRUTALITY.
Truth this week publishes the details Of
another of those scandals which has ten
ded to destroy the tradition that the
that, just before the Twentieth Fussars
went to India newly joined subaltern
was taken by his brother officers to the
riding schoo> and put on a bareback
horse. The animal was made to gailop
and the sulbatren was whipped until he
fell, injured his knee and became insen-
sible. after which he was on the sick list
for weeks. The object of this trea tment,
it is stated, was to drive the sulbatern
out Of the regiment. When the latter
reached India, it is further said, those
practices were kept up, the sulbatern
was made to dress in clothing of his ma
tive servant, to Salaam TO this servant to
jump into bonfires with his pyjamas on,
etc, all in order to disgrace the young
officer in the eyes of the natives.
Truth. thereupon, demands that his
torrnentors be tried by counr martial. but
adds that it does not expect Lord Wolse-
" Ghe commander in chief, to maintain
the honor of the queens uniform.
NO FOOL LIKE A YOUNG FOOL.
Quite a Aensation has been caused in
certain circles by the announcement of
pretty girl only IS years old, and until
quite recently an assistant in fancy dry
goods store at East Bourne, to Baron Ly-
vent, who is over Y years of age, and a
widower, his first wife having been
daughter of Earl Fitzwilliam. The ba-
ron has no children and his prospective
heirs are not at all happy at this new de-
parture on the part of his lordship.
THEY'LL JUST HAVE TO CHEW.
A writer in the Contemporary Review
asserts that some of the New York bellies
have taken TO chewing tobacco, adding:
Think Of the American Venus biting i
chunk of plug"
The election of Edward J. Pyneter, di-
rector OF the National Gallery, 10 the
presidency of the Royal Academy. was
somewhat OF surprise to the friends of
the other candidates. The election of
Mr.. Peyneter, however. has been well
received by the press and in art circles.
Although he is not a great painter, Mr..
Feyneter is fully master OF those social
attachments which are necessary to
make successful president of the Royal
Academy.
There is no doubt that the new ord
mayor of London. Mr.. a. Faudel Phillips.
Will signalize this year of office by great
brilliancy. He proposes TO commemorate
the queens reign by raising the sum OF
$1,000. 900 with which 10 free the London
public hospitals from debt.
Sir Robert Peel, ii appears. has now
