BRITISH ARE PLEASED
BY the Invitation to the Prince Of
Wales From New York.


New York. April THE suggestion
that the Prince OF Wales attend the
dedication Of the new home of the New
York Chamber Of Commerce excites the
liyeliest surprise here, coupled with sat
1sfact1on at the indication of good feel
ing on the part of leading members Of
Americas Industrial community, cables
the Worlds London correspondent.
Undoubtedly it is hoped IN political
circles that the expected invitation VIII
be accepted
Inquiries have ELECTED the fact that in
court and official circles it is recognized
that there are certain obstacles in the
way, but 1t is hoped that they may not
prove insurmountable. In the first place,
court official Of experience says, as the
Prince of Wales represents the king it
would be unusual for him to visit any
foreign country officially except as the
guest of that country's chief of state or
its government. King Edward person
ally IS said to be strongly favorable to
such a visit, yet he may be slow to
establish precedent which hereafter
might lead to trouble or misunder-
standing
Then the fact that other European
royal heirs apparent and persons of
enlinence have been invited raises ques-
tiOnS of etiquette which assume very
serious dimensions in the eyes of royal
ty in court functionaries. It has been
arranged already that the prince shall
go to India next winter to make a tour
Of the empire and to attend the pro-
claiming OF his father emperor of tina
dependency. The court official hereto
fore mentioned points out that unless
the prince can visit New York on the
way, it win be too great a strain on him
to cross the Atlantic and back in the
autumn, especially as heavy demands on
his by no means robust constitution viii
be made by the coronation festivities.
Anyway. it is a fact that such a visit
would be extremely popular here and
it is believed in court circles that the
king, who is well aware of the interna-
tional advantages of such an inter-
change of eourtesies, will do all in his
power to accede TO the New York Cham
Der of Commences hospitable invitation.

Agreement on War Revenue Repeal

Washington. April THE conferees
on the war revenue repeal bill today
reached an agreement the senate re-
ceding from its amendment which re-
stated that taken in consideration with
the repealed sections of the law, it was
doubtful whether the senate provision
would stand and also that it was likely
that the provisions would permit mem
bers of stock exchanges engaging in the
business which the amendment would
prevent among so-called bucketshop

THE CRIMINAL YOUNG NEGRO.
Ever Ready With the Razor, and the
Courts Slow to Act.
fspccial Dispatch to The Times

RONBURY, VA, May 13.-There was
quite an excitement in Black Creek
District on Wednesday last. 1t seems
that Mr.. c. L. Harrison, who is one
of the county's most prosperous mer-
chants and an influential citizen, had
fine setter shot a few days ago by a
negro boy named Randolph Brisby.
Wednesday evening, while Mr.. Harrison
with his little son was returning from
lis store at Quinton, he met the boy
and asked him about the shooting of his
dog. The boy said he did and made some
threats, at the same time drawing q
razor, which he attempted to use, but
Mr.. Harrison was too quick for him. By
a ell-directed blow with the but of his
buggy whip he knocked the weapon from
the hands of the negro. Then he picked
up the razor. put it in his pocket and
then proceeded to finish up the job with
several moro good ticks with the whip.
Fortunately for the negro, Mr.. Harrison
Gid not have his pistol. The boy was
heard to make some threats as Mr.. Har-
rison drove off.
The indifference which has been shown
in the case of George Ball for highway
robbery and attempted murder seems to
have served to influence evil-doing by
the Younger set. The crime charged
against Ball. the negro, happened some
time in January. From time to time his
