gift is made in the following message to
his people, addressed 10 Prime Minister
Balfour For reasons apparent In the
document itself. his Majesty makes his in
tentiOn public:
buckingham Palace. Coronation Day. 1902.
Under the will OF the Kings much-be-
loved mother, the Osborne House estate Is,
as Mr.. Balfour is aware. the private es-
tate of the sovereign. Having TO spend
considerable part of the year in the capital
OF this kingdom and IN its neighborhood,
at Windsor. and having also strong home
ties in the county of Norfolk, which have
existed now for nearly forty years, the
Kings feels he will be unable TO make ade-
ouate use OF Osborne House as a royal res
idence. and he accordingly has determined
TO offer the property in the Isle of Wight
as a gift TO the nation. As Osborne House
IS sacred TO the memory of the late Queen,
it is the Kings wish that, with the excep-
tion of those apartments which were in
the personal occupation of her Majesty, his
people shall always have access to the
house. which must ever be associated with
her beloved name As regards the rest or
the building, the King hopes 1t may be de-
voted 10 national purposes ana be con-
verted into a cOnvalescent home for officers
OF the navy and army whose health has
been impaired in rendering service TO their
country.
IF in order to give full legal effect to
the Kings wishes it is found that applca-
tion 10 Parliament be necessary. the King
trusts that Mr.. Balfour will see that the
necessary steps are in due course taken"
About year ago dispatches to American
newspapers from their London correspond
ents alleged that King Edward was de-
sirous of dispOsing, by private sale. of Os-
borne House for two reasons, its fmprac-
tiCability as a royal residence and the COM
paratively great cost of its maintenance.
II was further alleged that negotiations had
been seriously entered into by the King S
agents and certain American miliOnaires
for the sale OF Osborne House TO of
the latter, and that these negotiations were
broken off by the action of the law coun-
sellOrs OF the King. who called his Majes-
tvs attention to a clause in Queen Vic
toria's will by virtue of which Osborne
House and the immediate estate became
"appurtenances Of the sovereign of Eng
land. ="
Under this clause 1t declared King
Edward was estopped T ON disposing of the
royal residence. II was alleged at the
time that among the millionaires negO-
tiating for the purchase of Osborne House
was William Waldorf AstOr, who. il was
said. desired il a wedding present for
his daughter, Miss Pauline Astor

Kansas can make more money on corn

of the beet was Senator Elkins. of West
Virginia, a State which neglects the sugar

There are a good many States. there are
counties, in the West that devote more
space TO corn and wheat than the entire
acreage of sugar beets in the country.

VICTIMS OF MONT BLANC.
Further Details of the killing of Two
Parisian Travellers.

CHAMOUNIX, France, Aug. 10.-The two
residents of Paris who recently perished
from exposure on Mont Blanc, and whose
guides were reported to have been killed
while descending the mountain in search
of assistance, were named Stachling and
Mauduit. The bodies of the men, together
with that of the guide, Culet have been
brought here. The guide, Blanc, who was
supposed to have been killed also, was
found alive at the bottom of a crevasse.
The fall of the guides into the crevasse
was witnessed by telescopes from here
and led to the supnosition that both men
had been killed. Blanc had a wonderful
escape. He had a sheer fall of about III
feet, but was almost uninjured, although
he suffered from the effects of six hours
exposure in the ice. Culet was killed in

Better Monetary Conditions in Lon
dOn-ConsOIs Are Lower.

LONDON, Aug. 1O.-The payment OF a 20
per cent. installment on the consol loan
last week forced a considerable selling of
consols at lower prices, but the appre-
tensions of a shortage in money were fair
ly dispelled by large government disburse-
ments. and. as there are no formidable
demands on the market credit may be ex-
pected this coming week, and money is
likely to continue easy.
Last week the tone of stocks was er-
ratio, but il concluded cheerful. Two holi-
days within the week caused light busi-
ness.
American railroad shares rose on New
York buying and further increases are an
ticipated. British railroads fell in sympa-
thy with consols and dividends are not eX-
pected to more than maintain last year s
figures.
Labor difficulties continue to contribute to
the weakness of South African shares.
