LONDON, Oct 90 - Most elaborate
plans have been made for the reception
of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall
and York at Portsmouth and London
It is not generally felt that the tour OF
the duke and duchess has been q sue
cess, as, on the whole. comparatively
little interest has been taken in il, the
war and other events having completely
overshadowed the royal journey. The
officials, however, are determined that
1t shall end in a blaze Of glory. AT
Portsmouth an effective naval display
has been arranged.
Fifteen battleshaps and cruisers will
sail tomorrow to meet the royal yacht
Ophir and escort her to Portsmouth
The royal party will take the train Sat.
urday and reach London at o'clock in
the afternoon. Her 10000 troops will
keep the streets clear for the procession
from Victoria station to Marlborough
house.
Newspaper correspondents who were
with the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall
and York party contribute some re.
markable letters to their papers here,
highly appreciative of Canada, but they
do not like the glimpse they got of the
United States. Thus the morning cor.

Engineer Williamson OF the FSROVer''
Holds Up For Admiral.
DUBLIN, Ga, Oct. 80. = Engineer
Charles A. Williams of Savannah, who
has been connected with the Rover
since that steamer was placed in COM
mission, claims to have. served under
Admiral Schley for numbe of months
as assistant engineer. He states that he
was with the flying squadron during
the Santiago campaign, but took no
part in the naval battle, having pre-.
viously been sent away in one of the
steam launches TO carry dispatches.
Mr.. Williamson is an admirer of Al
miral Schley and is taking an interest
in the court of inquiry now in session
in Washington. He characterizes the
court as a ''humbug." He thinks that
Sampson should be given the credit for
planning the battle and Schley credit
for executing it and destroying the feet.
In fact, like Schley, he thinks there was
glory enough TO go around.
Mr.. Williamson will only be connected
with the Rover until the affairs of that
steamer get in good running order.
