Queen cOmmemorated her visit to the
Duke Of Buckingham. az Stowe, BY plant

Of Lancaster Castle. On "A copper plate
fastened 20 the palisades close by IL is re-
lated that the tree vas planted on October

town Of Lancaster. Another oak. now
some thirty feet high. grows H. front o.
StOnelelga Abbey. The Queen aud prince
cOns0rt stayed there for three days in
June, 1855. al the time they opened Aston
Hall, ard visited KenllwOrTh and warwick
Castle There were originally twin trees
but the one planted by Prince Albert died
The Queen seems especially successful
as a tree planter. sJr the oak she planted

And J hope IN hell
His soul may dwell

It was understood that the late Thomas
F. Bdyard purpOsed building up q practice
in International law after the expiration
of his term as Ambassador 70 Great Brit
ain, and. In fact. he had made some head
way when death called him away. Per
haps Joseph II ChOate will have an op-
fered in international law practice when
he ceases 10 be an Ambassador He is not
unknown in the practice Of that branch
of his profession now. James q. Carter
Of this city. might have TCmuneratiVe
international law practice, If he would
accept it. and undoubtedly the same is
true of W. r. Day. former Secretary or
State. Mr.. Carter is well Versed in the
principles Of international law, and has
defined more feliCitOusly than any one
else the difference between it and ordi-
nary practice
The growing Importance of international
law practice IS recognized fully by all the
big law schools in the maintenance of a
prOfessOTship I'm that branch. Prof. John
BasSett Moore Assistant Secretary OF
State under Harrison. Cleveland and Nc
Kiney. is the occupant of the interna-
tiOnai law char al Columbia. and nearly
all the law students 0f to-day give special
attention 20 this branch Of law. IL Is said
that the demand for International lawyers
is greater than the supply, get II would
be hard TO find a lawyer anywhere in
America al least who does no other sort
Of practice Perhaps John W Fosters
practice is more nearly exclusively inter-
national than TIA; of any other American
lawyer.

THE WOLsELEY RING"

There is a certain amount Of fonn-
dalton for the accusation Of war
department favoritism previously re-
ferred to, though 1t Is utterly wrong
10 assert that Sir Redvers Butler is II
merr Der Of Wolseley ring. 1t is doubt
ful whether there are two men who dis
like each other more cordially than
Wolseley and Butler. II Is perfectly
true that there are rings at the war
department. Perhaps 1t would be more
fair TO describe them az schools, three
in number-namely the Indian school,
headed by Field Marshal Lord Roberts,
far and away the most popular officer
OF the army; the modern school, head =

and the old fashioned school, Of which
the old Duke of Cambridge was the

Sir Redvers belongs TO the Wolseley
school, but is parted from him by
feelings Of personal rivalry and anil

led the duke to make a particular
fayorite OF Butler. although he differs
radically from him in military doc
trines.

Wolseley at its head, aims at the in

the methods that prevail in Germany,
being unfortunately blind to the fact
that the war department is London mas
not the same material at It's disposal
as the kaiser The short servlce sys-

where the laws Of compulsory military
service are enforced and where a man
after two years with the cOlors re-
mains liable to be called upon for mill
tary duty either for maneuvers or ac-
tual war, throughout a number OF
years. But in England the introduc-
ton Of the short service system has
merely had the effect Of depriving the
troops Of the opportunity Of becom-

school is likewise very strong In all
