MR.. AST0R APOLOGIES.
II Looks As II He Might Have to Hunt
Up a New Country.

London. July 19.--Mr. William Waldorf
Astor has apparently reached the conelu-
sion that he made grave blunder when
he publicly insulted Capt. Sir Archibald
Berkeley Milne.
Today Mr.. Astor published in his
newspaper, the Pail Mall Gazette:
I'VE desire to express regret that par
agraph which appeared in this column
July with regard to the presence of Sir
Berkeley Milne at Mr.. Astor's concert,
the preceding Thursday evening should
have been published under misappre-
hension of the exact circumstances. tx
plantations of a complete categorical kind
now show that Sir Berkeley Mines
presence was due to misunderstanding
that entirely absolves him from any
Intentional discourtesy."
Mr.. Astor's apology, was without
doubt forced by the action Of the Prince
of Wales, who when he matter was placed
before him, unhesitatingly expressed his
indignation and declared that unless an
ample apology was forthcoming, Mr.. AS
tor could not be permitted to retain mem
bership in the Marlborough club. The
Prince Of Wales views were conveyed to
the club committee and Mr. Astor was
notified that an apology alone could save
him from being expelled. Though this
apology is now forthcoming and Mr..
Astor has narrowly escaped the ignomi-
ny of public expulsion from the club, it
is widely asserted that his forced repen-
lance viii not save him from being cold
shouldered by all who are not dazzled
bv his wealth.

country with impaired finances, and
with the old love for a military life
awakened he enlisted as a private in the
United States regular army, remaining
a private but three days when a corpo-
raj commission was given him, followed
by rapid advancement to the position of
ordnance sergeant, which he filed with
honor and ability for nearly so years

Three Or Four Acres Of Woods
Burned Over.
The Wind Was Luckily
Off Shore.
Nothing Was Done Toward Ex-
tinguishing Flames.

After several days of quietude the peo-
pie on Peaks island were again alarmed
by the fire hend yesterday when the
blazes once more broke out in the dense
thickst of woods over IN the WEIGH and
Hilborn property on the easterly side of
the island. 1t was discovered at noon
and continued its course all Of the after
noon and late last evening with hardly
any attempt being made to put it out.
An alarm was turned IN on the island
and all of the members OF the department
reported at the engine house. But there
was no work to do, Captain Sloan who
had charge deeming it unWise to go to
the expense Of again calling upon the
men to fight IN the woods. Word was
also sent to the city but Chief Engineer.
Eidridge also thought that the occasion
did not warrant the sending of the fire
boat to the island.
The fire yesterday burned over three or
four acres and the smoke rolled up IN the
biggest clouds that have yet been noticed
So that from tho city it seemed as if there
must be big eonhagration on hand.
Luckily the wind was from of shore so
that at no time was there any danger OF
q great spread.
The most of the cottagers on the island
believe that these fires have been purpose
1y set. One of the best known Of the resi-
dents walked over the WEIGH and Hilborn
property last Sunday and at that time he
says that there was not a sign Of a fire.
The cottagers yesterday pointed out the
advantages that would have accrued had
the proposed system of water works been
established on the island during the first
part OF the year.
