New York May 2J.-The fifth annual
dinner of the British Schools aud Uni
versities club was given last night at
the Holland House. There were 100
guests. Among them were Captain A.
L. Alahan and James L. Campbell. Let
tiers were read from the Queen, the
Prince of Wales, Joseph Chamberlain,
Earl of R.psebery. Rudyard Kipling
and others. The Queens message to
the club was as follows: The Queen
sincerely thanks you for your kind
message of loyalty and good WILL"
Rudyard Kiplins sent this: Good
luck To you and ourselves. and the rest
of us everywhere"
Joseph Chamberlain cabled: Il re-
greet that American opinion should be
divided on the subject of the war in
which we are now engaged, although
| hope the majority recognize in our
policy and proceedings the same spirit
and object which animated them dur
ing the Spanish war. Our
sympathy on that occasion was freely
given 10 our kinsmen in the United
States and l ind 1t difficult to believe
that it is not cordially Ieciprocated IN
our own time of trial.
Lord Rosebery wrote that The
cause OF the South African war seems
TO be much misconStrued IN the Unit
ed States, and 1t seems 10 be forgotten
that the Transvaal attacked us.
We might, however. under tbe circum-
Stances, at least, expect good will and
moral support.
Professor Max Muller wrote: "The
ignorant abuse OF England is certainly
u crime. We can spare the
Beers, but not the English. The SaXons
Of Germany, England and the United
StaFS-thesc are my trio. No dog
could bark il these three stood to-
gether.'
w. +. Ii. Lecky wrote: Il do not
think the present unhappy war could
have been avoided. and | do not think
that if Americans had been in our
place they would have shown more
patience. | doubt whether they would
have shown as much as we did.
DIR. Patton, of Princeton, said: Now
that the war Is on the ultimate good
of all is dependent on the success OF
British arms"
The Mission of the Anglo-Sa xon
Race" was responded to by ex-Gov
eI'nor James E. Campbell, of Ohio. He
said: Something has been said about
the temper of this country i'll the pres
emit crisis. wish to say that here there
is always i tendency TO sympathiZe
with the under dog, but when there is
n crying need in England she will find
that her best friend is the United
States. While ii Is true that England
has no friends on the continent neither
have We. Dewey was anxious to sink
our German cousins at Manila, but he
did not have sufficient provocatiOn, and

feel let them push their little affairs a

Queens Birthday.
London, May 25.-The Princess of
Wales at Kensington yesterday after
noon opened the great national bazaar
i'll aid of the sufferers from the war.
The magnitude of the undertaking,
which lasts three days. quite eclipses
the similar affair held in June of last
year in aid of the Charing Cross hos
pital. Although much space in the
Palace hotel has been given up to the
bazaar the enterprise has attained such
huge proportions that vast marques
have had to be erected in the adjoining
grounds. The stalls are attended by
titled personages and the elite of Lon
don society.
Emperor William of Germany has
shown his sympathy for the war suf-
ferers by contributing to the bazaar
some royal Dresden china and engrav-
