frank expression of the inner opinion of
the British government While Lord
Salisbury may see the darker side of the
Chinese problem and may be harrassed
regarding the composition of the new
cabinet, he does not allow these cares
to interfere with his only recreation
tricycling.
SALISBURY ON A TRICYCLE..
An amusing letter has been written
by Lord William Cecil asking a cycle
company to make q tricycle. for Lord
Salisbury similar to the enc made two
years ago, and, adding rather pathetical-
ly, that he would be glad If the company
would accept in part payment, a ma
chine which Lord William ordered from
another firm, but which Lord Salisbury
refused, and is therefore on my hands,"
Apart from the amusing feature of the
son trying to get rid of a machine the
premier refused to ride at any price 1t
Is interesting to note that Lord Salisbury
is still energetic enough to wear out
tricycle. in two years
The critical condition of the Dowager
Empress Frederick of Germany is caus-
ing grave anxiety in England not only
On her own account, but through fear
OF the effect OF her death on Queen Vic
torIa. The loss Of her son, the Duke Of
Edinburgh, and her cousin, the Duchess
OF Teck, and the terrible death roll in
South Africa, have tried the queen sore
~. Another family loss, 1t is feared,
might wrench to the breaking point the
wonderful constitution and fortitude of
Great Britains ruler. It is said she is
already much upset, and strongly desires
to so to the bedside of her eldest daugh-
ter But the queens physicians are en-
deavoring to dissuade her.

The British nobility, like royalty, has
suffered to an unusual degree through
death during the last year. The last
person stricken off the rolls, the Mar
quis of Butte, was one of the most re-
markable characters In England. A
mediaevaist Catholic scholar and a
millionaire, he yet applied himself so
well to municipal details that he made
an excellent mayor Of Cardiff, where he
spent over q million pounds sterling on
the harbor. Though devoted to Cathol-
lclsm, he contributed largely to the sup
port of the Episcopal church in. Wales
He was the original of Lord Beacons-
fields Lothair, yet an enthusiastic adj
mtrer of Gladstone. He made the best
translation known Of the Roman brew
larry, and was the first to import baay-
ers from Canada. For the funeral, the
widow, knowing her late husbands wish
es, telegraphed tc a publisher for SEQ
copies of his uncurtailed office for the
dead so that all present might follow
the service.
CHINESE EXCLUSION FAVORED.
The ACCESSIBILITY of following the ex-
ample of the United States in excluding
the Chinese Is becoming a serious ques-
ton in England. This is partly due to
the China crisis, but more directly to
the increasing number Of Chinese in
London, their frequent appearances in
police courts and large number of
wretched, half clad offspring
A writer in teday's Daily Chronicle
AYERS that a large number of Chinese are
coming TO work in the new laundries.
