1T TIE KINGS EXPENSE.
Generals Corbin and Young Are
 Enjoying Themselves.

Not Meal They Can Call Their Own
 Young and Corbin Are the Lions
 of the Hour and Appreciate the
 Kind Attention That Is Being Be
 slowed Upon Them.
 London, Oct 1.-The American gen. erals now visiting England are under going somewhat similar experiences or English hospitality to that of the co- lonial premiers during coronation time. From now to October Is, when they will sail for home, Generals GOT bin and Young will not have q meal they can call their own. Starring with the king, whose action in inv1t- ing them to luncheon at Buckingham palace next Monday, the first weekday he will be in London, has caused much favorable comment, they have re- ceived invitations from numerous so- cietiss and individuals
 Both General Corbin and General Young expressed to the representative of the Associated Press their keen ap- preciation of the many attentions shown them. Earl Roberts has been untiring in showing them attentions and the American generals are look ing forward to their visit with him to WoolWich and to General French at Aldershot next week with great pleas ure. Only one note of disappoint- ment Is heard and that comes from the stair, who are not included in the invi- tation to Buckingham palace. While the American officers were in Germany Emperor William always asked the staff to attend functions with the gen. erals. General Wood will arrive here Monday, 1n time to meet the king. Ambassador Ch0ate is expected to ac- company the Americans to Bucking- ham palace.
 The curious sight was witnessed this week Of an American presiding at the annual banquet of an old Eng fish charity. It was the dinner of the Dramatic and Musical Benevolent fund, in the head chair of which Charles Dickens sat in 1866 and in which many well known Englishmen had been before and after. The chairman on this occasion was Regi- nald Ward of New York, while the stewards included President Long of the local government board, Lord Ed mund Talbot, Sir Edward Lawson, Sydney Grundy, the Marquis de Vil- lalobar, secretary of the Spanish em- bassy, Sir Simeon Stuart and the Mar quis of Queensberry. Many promin- ent actors came in later in the even ing. MT Ward, though announced on the toast list by his papal title of Count" took occasion to say he was proud to appear as an American citi- zen, Americans, he added, were ac- cused of endeavoring to run the whole world, and particularly of trying to buy up all the British industries. But they were not so bad as painted and were only too glad to cooperate with Englishmen not only in gaining the commercial supremacy of the globe but in assisting in any movement for the betterment of the conditions of England, especially in the case of charitable enterprises.
 Several of the speakers expressed keen qualification in finding that Americans were so actively assisting the London charities.
 A substantial sum was raised at the dinner in aid of the theatrical em. plOyes, many of the Americans pres. ent contributing towards it.
