CASTLE AND EARLDOM.
American Millionaire Said to be Try
ing to Buy Famed Arundel

London. May lit is said here that the
Duke of Norfolk has within the last week
been approached by multi-millionaire of
transatlantic birth. with an offer for the
purchase of Arundel castle, the famous
country seat in Sussex, portions of which
date back to the reign of King Alfred the
Great.
An immense sum is said to have been
offered. fact which will be readily un-
derstood when it is borne in mind that the
ownership of Arundel castle. alone of all
territorial domains in the United King
dom, carries with it not only a seat in the
English house of lords, but likewise a full
nedged earldOm.
The Duke Of Norfolk is Earl of Arundel
solely as owner of Arundel castle, and the
earldom has only belonged to the dukes OF
Norfolk since the fifth duke succeeded his
mother in the proprietorship Of the cas-
tie
Correspondents have been unable to dis
cover the name of the multi -nillionaire
who is said to have approached the Duke
of Norfolk with regard to the purchase of
Arundel castle While some declare it to
be William Waldorf AStor. others assert
in an equally positive manner that it is
either Andrew Carnegie or ]. Pierpont

nouncing that NJ. Pichon, the French
minister, presented today the report of
the committee on indemnity. The
amount China is to pay has been fixed

posed that the indemnity be distributed
among the powers is not set forth, but
as the dispatch does not mention The

hopeful of being able to settle the pro-
portion to be received by each power by
discussion at Pekin.
