JOKE On MARK HANNA
Is the Press Comment in Lon
don on an Alleged Joke
SPRUNG BY THE SENATOR
During a Visit to the British
House of Commons.


Stnator Hanna's visit to the house OF
commons on Tuesday. He was taken 20
the house by Mr.. Henry White, secretary
Of the United States embassy, and after
listening to the opening speech. tht sena-
tor Is reported to havfI asked: "How much
will vote on this bill be worth?" The
'St James Gazstte impeTtinently COM
ments on this version Of the senator's
visit TO the commons, saying he was
merely applying the standard OF Wash
ington to Westminster" adding: ut will
be understood by those familiar with the
scandals Of congress Fat he put the Ques-
ton quite seriously"
With the view. probably, It Is said. OF
reviving the waning interest threatening
to bury him in oblivion, owing 10 the I'M
sportsma Mike suspiciousness with which
he withholds even the simplest informa-
ton about the Shamrock. Sir Thomas
Upton now announces that he has assum-
ed a coat Of arms Of his own device, bas-
ed on his business career. For a crest he
has adopted two "horny hands OF labor"
one grasping a tea plant flower and the
other a coffee blossom. The shield bears
shamrock. in memory Of his native land,
and thistle, in commemoration OF the
fact that he started in trade in Scotland.
His motto is Labor ConQuers All
Things" The Empero Of Germany is the
latest inquirer regarding the Shamrock.
He has closely though futllely questioned
the British yachtsmen at Kiel as to her
build and the likelihood or her bringing
back the Americas cup.
The Prince Of Wales has decided to take
the waters of Marienbad again instead Of
going to Homburg. unless the presence
Of the Duke Of Orleans at Marienbad de-
termines change OF plans. Both Queen
Victiria and the Prince OF Wales dislike
the Duke OF Orleans and the latter is
much annoyed and mortified at being ig-
nored at court. The Duke AMI Duchess Of
Orleans have gone to Austria. They had
desired to stay at Brussels and Turin pre-
viously. but received strong hints from
King Leopold and King Humbert that
their presence was not desirable. Ire
fact Is that the absurd and elaborate fuss
a handful OF the dukes followeds persist
in making when he is In Brussels or
Turin has caused great deal OF trouble
to the respective governments.
While the Prince of Wales and the
masculine members Of society have been
enjoying the racing at Newmarket. the
Princess of Wales and the ladies gener-
ally had their sporting tastes gratffied by
the magnificent dog show Of the Ladies'
Kennel association at the Botanic ardens
at which about 1900 dogs were on view, a
truly remarkable record when Il Is real
ICED that the entries were confined TO
CANNES owned by ladies'. The Princess OF
Wales was a big prize winner with Bor-
zois. Collies and Bassets. VLscountess
Deerhurst formerly Miss Virg,ia Boynge)
was also a prize winner. Some historic
dogs were on view. including Furthest
North, the sole survivor OF Lieutenant
Peary's pack in his Greenland expedition.
The paramount thought among the
crowds which thronged the enclosure at
the review Of troops at Aldershot Monday.
judging from the frequent references 20
the subject. was one Of admiration for
the wonderful powers Of endurance dis
played by Queen Victoria, enabling her 10
bear the fatigue such an afternoon neces-
sarily infilcts on anybody Of such an ad-
vanced age. The heat was intense, the
glare OF the sun was binding. and the
troops occupied two hours IN passing the
saluting point. Yet, in spite OF the fact
that her majesty had Travelled by train
from Windsor and had been driven from
Marlborough to Lofanns Plain. she ap-
peared to enjoy the scene from first to
last.
