was clandesunely obtained. has been published, but
1t reveals nothing and sheds light on the
position which the committee will take The
guessing school Is in session, and the
wise ones amuse themselves BY giving In advance
the text Of the report. and Of the guessers two
of the mind.
1t is generally believed. though. that the commit
tee will deal lenently with Dunraven. because his
fiat failure to establish his and the severe
censure Of him by mis- countrymen Will be
looked upon sufficient punishment for his hasty
accusati lions.
There members in the New-York Yacht Club
who take a different view of the matter. They say
that the charges were insult to the whole yacht;
ing fraternity of this country, and that the man
who made them should be dealt with severely.
Unless the committee has decided a new plan
the report Will not come out for some days. Com
modore Edward VI. Brown said yesterday that 1t
has been the intention Of the committee 10 issue
the report simultaneously here and In England. and
that special meeting OF the club would be called

mittee No special meeting has been called but

HER POSITION INDICATED.

The much discussed question Of the membership
Of Mrs. Edward W. Humphreys in the Society %
Colonial Danes OF America has been formally set
tied in her favor by that body. She remains a

In doing so. Mr. Miller said
THE recent press articles relative to tho attitude
OF Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, the former secretary Of
the Society OF Colonial Danes OF America toward
Mrs. Edward W. Humphreys have conveyed to
many the erroneous impression that Mrs Hum
phreys was not a member OF such society and that
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, had succeeded In excluding
her from membership therein. AS such impression
might Justify the conclusion that there were others
in the society who share Mrs Van Rensselaer's
views. and had united with her IN a successful at
tempt to defea. Mrs. Humphreys election think
II is due the latter well to her fellow
berg TO say that Mrs. Humphreys has recently re-

position which Mrs. Humphreys was most reIuct-
