question of suDpressing the United Irish
league IS out forward in some quarters.
1t is understood that Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain and Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor Of the excheuuer, are
both well enough to attend the cabinet
meeting.
Both the chancellor of the excheuuer
and the colonial secretary, attended the
cabinet council to-day. Prior to the meet
ing or the minister's, representatives of the
Bank OF England had a conference with
the chancellor of the eXchequer Indicating
that the budget was a prominent subject
OF discussion by the ministers, especially
as to the best means of issuing a war
loan. In consequence of the prominence
given by the afternoon newspapers to the
report that cabinet crisis had occurred
owing to breach between Mr.. Cham
berlain and Sir Michael Hicks-B on
the method of raising war funds. Mr.
Chamberlain to-day Issued signed state
ment saying that the report was pure in
venti ion and absolutely untrue.
Notwithstanding the sensational and d.
verse rumors evoked by the unexpected
summoning of the cabinet public interes>
as displayed in Downing street was of an
exceedingly languid type. All the minis
tiers were present with the exception of
the lord lieutenant of Ireland, Earl Cado-
gan, from which 1t was inferred that the
question Of the immediate adoption of a
more stringent policy toward the Unit ed
Irish league did not occupy the foremost
place at tO-dayS council .

What Will Come of British Cabinet Meeting =?

London, April 12.-It is reported from
Pretoria that the Boer conference at
klerksdorp was still sitting Friday after
noon. All official information in Lon

communication OF any sort has been made
by the Boer leaders to Great Britain or

Under a purely social guise curious
and none too fair game of politics was
played last week in the amen Corner
dinner. The Amen Corner is the political
end of the Fifth Avenue Hotel lobby
where the local statesmen and the po-
litical reporters of the New York papers
gather to talk over the situation and get
up the news of the day. The dinner
scheme-was originated by the newspaper
men as an honor to Senator Plat. It was
supposed to be on the plan of the famous

the Washington correspondents. Invita-
tons to its dinners are more sought after
than cards to any other function in the
country. But the Amen Cornerers failed
to follow the Gridirop lead in its success

Version Of the Honest Man on the POST

Now list to the case Of the. honest man
on the post" as outlined BY himself-not
necessarily for publication, but as an
evidence Of bad faith:
This is a strike for fair divvy. That's
all there is to it. Since the Liquor Dealers
Association got into the game the patrolman
hasn't had a fair shake. In the old system
the saloonman went to the sergeant and says
he, Sarge, what's the tax?'' And the sarge
says, SO much, and my man'll be in to see
you Saturday evenins.' That was all right.
The man on post got his little bit, and he
passed on the bunch to the sarge who got
his little bit, and the rest went tosthe cap
tain. and he generally needed it. The rounds
man kept in the game by making q little ea-
ira touch here and there. The Liquor Deal
ers' Association has spoiled that game. They
put up certain amount OF money in each
precinct. That goes direct to the captain,
and maybe the sarge gets look-in, and the
rest goes "up higher where it will do the
most good But where does the man on post
come in? He gets his orders not to touch

in this affair. William H., then only sec
ond2i line for the throne, fell deeply in
love with the Princess Elizabeth, as she
was then, and his handsome cousin smiled
on his wooing. But Bismarck would have
none of it, and he finally, succeeded, not
without having been obliged to bring all
his Influence to bear, in separating the
young lovers. 1
So the princess. who is the daughter of
the Grand Duchess OF Hesse, one of Queen
Victoria's children, lost her chance Of
being Empress of Germany, and in 1884
she was married to the Grand Duke Serge,
the uncle of the Gear Of all the Russias.
Just ten years later her younger sister,
the Princess Victoria Alice, married the
czar himself.

fourth son OF Alexander II, Is now As.
