LONDON, Nov. 11.-(New York Cablegram
Special Telegram)-Among the Guard OIL
fcers who leave tonight for the scene OF war
is the Honorable Gerald Ward, aged 22, son
of the countess of Dudley. He married
Lady Evelyn Crichton, aged 81, on Tuesday
last. Some criticism has been INDUCED in
because the parents of both sides permitted
this marriage before the war, but the truth
is the young people decided the question
for themselves, being desperately attached
to each other.
Among other departures is Lord Howard
DeWalden. who had leave for week to
attend his fathers funeral Wednesday; Lady
Evelyn Crichton also has two brothers at or
on the way to the front. The marquis of
Dufferin has three sons on the Transvaal
border and in Natal. The marquis Of Tully
Bardine heir Of the duke of Athol, who mar
ried most beautiful girl Miss Ramsay, two
months since leaves with the Guards. The
three Tecks, brothers of the duchess of York,
are already in South Africa. Lord Talbot,
only brother and heir to the duke of Norfolk,
whose sister died yesterday, has gone with
the Nineteenth Hussars. Two sons, next
heirs to Lord st. Clair, of the Oldest
baronetcy in Scotland, are there as well, as
are the two sons of the war secretary, the
marquis of Lansdown, while the duchess of
Buccleuch has two sons and son-in-law at

Wednesday to the daughter of the earl OF

peoples. The forthcoming visit of Emperor
william to Queen Victoria is regarded as
canning the climax Of British diplomatic
success, and the feeling Of satisfaction at
this state of affairs is not in the slightest
degree marred by any feeling OF 1ealousy
over the emperor's recent meeting at fots-

Is some of the optimistic declare, that I'M

all which could be done in this direction
seems already accomplished, and several
diplomats have expressed the opinion 10
representatives of the Associated Press that
this was far more than was expected ana
that international feeling was not yet ripe
for any more than a formal bond between
the two nations, which three years ago were

tributes to him the responsibility for the
killing of wounded dervishes. He says that
on tho previous campaign General Kitchener
had issued orders to the Egyptian soldiery
that the wounded were to be spared. He
refrained from issuing any such injunction
before Omdurman, and the Egyptians took
his silence as license to kill the wounded.
Lieutenant Churchill also censures him for
his inadequate arrangements for British
wounded. He cut down that branch of the
expedition to the lowest possible limits. re-
sulting in great unnecessary suffering and
possible less of life among the wounded.
General Kitchener, says Lieutenant
Churchill, regards a wounded man as a
nuisance. because he encumbers an eXpedi-
tion without giving any value in return.
The book on the whole is remarkable, not
only for its matured judgment, its graphic
descriptive power and literary force, but also
for it's courage and contempt for conven-
tional ideas, in which young Lieutenant
Churchill so strikingly resembles his bril-
liant father.

quiet.

guarded by the police force, and soldiers are
expected at any time. Both factions seem to
have agreed upon Bocas Del Toro as the
main battle-ground, and the foreign resi-
dents fear that a llre will be started by one
or the other sides.
The government has required all resi-
dents to place a light before their doors
every night to provide against attacks in
the darkness.
All the principal leaders of the liberal
party have departed from Bocas, which indi-

II may be personal, the best evidence
of the disappearance of the railway

years, and which threatened the COM
mercial supremacy of the state and
city, as well as the destruction of the
New York Central Railroad as a divi-
dend paying company. ] met, by the
authority of Mr.. Vanderbilt, these com
mercial bodies We discussed these
questions for months; we took volumes
of testimony. ] became convinced that
of the three methods Of meeting the
question--oWnership by the state or the
national government, universal consoli-
dation, not only of connecting but also
or competing lines, and state and ma
tional SuperNision--the last was the
true solution of the whole difficulty. 1t
required the united strength of the
commercial bodies and of the railroads
to induce our legislature, so heated had
the public feeling become, to create a
railway commission and give il these
supervisory powers It got in full op-
Grafton about the time that | became
president of the New York Central
Railroad. For the fourteen Years OF
my administration and until it's close |
was brought in constant contact with
the commission and it's operations. and
felt that it would be strengthened by
having upon it railway man from the
working force, and securing an amend
ment to that effect, Michael Rickard,
locomotive engineer, was appointed.
The New Yr"k Central has never resist
ed any order of the commission. Direct
ly its orders have cost the company
hundreds of thousands of dollars a year
but indirectly the benefits TO the public
and to the company have been meal
culable. Every shipper and passenger
and employee knows that a two-cent
postage stamp will carry his complaint
to Albany, and that 1t will he immed-
