MISS ooELErs ENGLISH DUKE.

Young RoxbuEghe, Very Rich, and Not
His Grace OF Manchester.
It is not the duke Of Manchester, but
the young duke of Roxburghe, recently
come OF age, who is being talked of in
English society as destined to become
the husband of Miss Goelet. The duke
is first cousin of the duke of MARI
borough and nephew, therefore, OF
Lady Randolph Churchill, who jointly
with the young American duchess OF
Marlborough has helped to bring him
into contact with Miss Goelet. He sue
ceeded to the dukedom about five years
ago on the sudden death of his popular
father, who was famed throughout
Great Britain as the most accomplished
and successful angler in the United
Kingdom. Indeed, no fisherman has
yet managed to break his magnificent
record of 81 salmon to his own rod in
one day. While he had the physique OF
a border baron he had nothing in him
of that rough carriage which chron-
iclers tell was characteristic of Robert
Ker, first earl of Roxburghe. On the
contrary, he was of a particularly gen.
tie nature and retiring disposition.
His son, the present duke, appears to
have inherited these amiable charac-
teristics in spite of the strain Of Church
i'll blood that comes to him through his
mother. The young duke likewise in
herits his fathers taste for salmon fish
ing and has already intimated that he
will adopt the politics of his parent
namely, the liberal unionist doctrine
the late duke having been stanch adj
herent of Mr.. Gladstone until the latter
took up home rule. The duke of Rox-
burghe is rich. and if he marries Miss
Goelet will wed her more for the sake
of her personal charms than for her
dollars. His estates, which are unen-
numbered by mortgages, extend over
10000 acres and have a rental value
of $250,OO The ancestral seat Of the
family is Floors castle, a striking edi-
flee on the banks of the Tweed, which
lis the border line between England and
Scotland. 1t is magnificent pile and
was built about two centuries ago on
the site of an older castle particularly
rich in historical associations.

Biggest Chain in the World.

Biggest Chain in the World.
The greatest and strongest chainever
made has but recently left the Upton
Green iron works. It is intended for
crane work at Chatham wharf and con-
sists of oval links forged severally of
aa-inch iron rods, each link being 20
inches long and 10 inches wide. Since
there was no machinery available for
testing chain of such dimensions, the
test was made by actual suspension of
a weight of 400 tons, or $4,000 pounds,
from each link.

Mr.. Casseu gives news regarding the
relative merits of the skaguay and Chill
kat passes. He says: "An enormous
number Of those at Dyea have gone
over. but those who have attempted to
reach the fields by the White pass have
not had much luck. I think it safe to
say that only Is per cent. have been
successful. It would have been phys

pass before winter. They tried to close
the pass in order to fix It but failed.
On the Chdlkat pass they are pressing

who go to Dyea at once will get over be-

AGAINST COMPLAINANT.
Appellate Courts Decision In Case of
Angel Against McCrilliS.

The decision of the Appellate Court in
the case of Lillias 4. Angel VS.. j. Wilson
McCrillis, was handed down today and
Is against the complainant. The Ian.
guage of the rescript Is as follows: 1.-The
only ground for redemption set up in the
bill is that notice of the levy and sale
was not given, Us required by Pub. stat.
r. |. cap. ~, section IL. We think that
n preponderance Of the evidence supports
the respondents contention that notice
was given, and fence hat the bill must
be dismissed.
1--WE regret that we are compelled to
come 10 this conclusion, since 10 must
operate as hardship on the conplainants
unless they have. some equity which
may entitle themeto redeem the prop
erty."

is on Burnett street at a sale for non,

BUSINESS MEMS ASSOCIATION.
Informal Discussion of the Subject OF
Railroad Freight Rates.

Tho Rhode Island Business Mems Asso-
citation held its usual monthly meeting
last evening with good attendance, in
cluding representatives from many of the
most prominent business firms of this
city. The chief subject considered was
railroad freight rates The discussion
was informal. Many instances Of freight
charges injuriously affecting the mer-
chants Of Providence as compared with
those of other cities were cited. To
illustrate il was said that upon carloads
Of freight coming from certain portions
OF the west TO Providence by way of Wor-
cester a much larger freight is charged
than upon the same carloads TO Boston,
although the distance from Worcester 10
Providence is no more than from Worces-
ter to Boston 1t was said that the extra
charge grows out of the refusal of the
Consolidated Railroad to pro-rate with
the through lines that come into Worces-
ter, the purpose being 10 compel trans
portation by the "lopg hauP' OF the Con-
solidated Railroad. The general opinion
OF the merchants present was that such
discrimination against the business men
Boston could not fail to affect the busi-
ness interests of this city very detriment-
ally in the long run. 1t was voted that
the executive committee of the associa-
tion be requested 20 consider ana report
upon any INSTANCES of discrimination in
freight rates against the business men of
Providence that may be presented in
writing TO the secretary Of the association.
