LONDON, June 3.-A representative
of the Associated Press has made in
quiries with the result that he is able
to confirm the report that those who
have been working in favor of Mrs.
Florence Maybrick will not be surpris-
ed at her release at any moment, now
Joseph H. Choate has held two inter-
views on the subject with the Marquis
| Salisbury, at which his strong repre-
sentation of the American view CT the
matter met with the most promising
reception. Mr.. Choate, since his ar
rival in England, has taken the liveli-
est interest in the case. He has re-
ceived every shred of information in
! the matter, has asked for high judicial
opinions, and his own legal knowledge
| has given him exceptional facilities IN
dealing with the
INTRICACIES OF THE CASE.
One of Mrs. Maybrick's advocates, a
well known worker of the Liberal
| party, J. H. Levy, provided Mr.. Choate
with a specially compiled dossier of the
whole case, in the collation. of which
he received the advice of the highest
legal authorities in the kingdom, in
Guiding the lord chief justice, Baron
Russell, of Killowen, and Lord James
of Herford, attorney general to the
| Prince of Wales, one of the calmest
| judicial minds, who definitely states
hot thn Inft Nv II Moi
| thews, (the former home secretary
! now Viscount Llandoff), is absurd and
shows, in the strongest light, the pres
| ent confused state Of the English Grim
inal law.
Mr.. Choate received the most
DEFINITE INSTRUCTIONS
from Washington, the gist being that
he was to press for an immediate re-
vision of the case, as the United States
government considered the time had ar
! rived for an immediate consideration
Of it. To these instructions and the
spirit in which they are being carried
out by Mr.. Choate, who said: Il will
see this thing through" Mrs. May
bricks impending freedom will be
largely due.
An American manufacturing COM
pany has just acquired an extensive
piece Of land and plant at Coventry,
including some Of the properties once
in possession of the tire companies di-
| rected by Ernest Terah Hooley, which
will be fitted to meet modern require
ments in every respect. The capital is
said to be 100000, and the company,
it is added, means to rush the construc-
ton OF automobiles, which has been al
most
NEGLECTED IN ENGLAND,
and it is believed that with the great
superiority of the American cars,
coupled with labor saving machinery,
the company will get clear six months
start in the market over its English
rivals. The new departure has already
created anxiety and some of the big
! gest cycle firms are contemplating
| similar ventures.
Consul Laidlaw, at Portland, Oregon,
urges Great Britain to conclude a
comprehensive consular convention
with the United States, giving the lat

enjoyed by the French and German
conSuls.
An unusual feature of the London
! pie who have taken apartments at the
/ hotels instead of in houses and also
| the number who have taken houses

Duke and Duchess of Fife are doing

| A most
! INTERESTING INNOVATION
! has been made by the Earl and Count

! their steam yacht, Firefy, near Cleo
I patras Needle, on the Thames embank-
ment. They intend staying there dur

| is always watching the festivities.
| The Earl says it is an ideal residence,
with the cool river airs and the fact
! that the yacht is in the very heart of
fashionable London.
