able them to meet Senator Wolcott. was
an excellent opportunity for him to do
so, - among those rTsent were A. j,
Ealfour, first lord of the treasury, and
government leader in the house of com
mons; the Marquis of Lansdowne, secre-
tary of state for wGr, William Court
Gully. speaker OF the Rouse OF commons;
Lord kothschild. and Henry Asquith
formerly The secretary OF state for home
affairs. The dinner was also a striking
example of Mr.. Whites position in Eng
land, as there are few men who are able
to collect such a gathering at short no
