HOLD MORGAN AS MONSTER
English Pessimists Believe American
FinRncier Deals Body Blows
to British Commerce.

LONDON. April 2s-The Americanization
Of the British mercantile navy will again
be the principal subject at questions
time in the House Of Commons Monday.
Members have given notice Of dozen in
quiries covering a variety OF points, in
dicative Of widespread apprehension. that
despite assurances to the contrary, the
shipping combination menaced not only
Great Britain's naval resources, hut her
commercial interests.
Further information will be asked Of the
ministers as to whether the British COM
psnies enter the combine on precisely the
same terms as the American and German
lines; whether British companies will be
required to disclose the terms Of their
agreement with the American syndicate.
and whether the obligation Of the White
Star line to recruit half its crews from
the royal naval reserves will hold good,
etc.
The pesslmists refuse to credit the as
surances that the Atlantic combine has no
Interior design to sap the naval strength
of Great Britain. Mr.. Morgan is held up
as a monster dealing a reeling blow TO
ill-organized British commerce and calmly
organizing earthquakes with designs to
swallow up the world.
The ST. James Gazette wants a re-enact-
ment of the navigation laws and falls foul
OF the airy indifference Of the president
Of the Board OF Trade, Gerald Balfour,
as indicated by his replies in the House
Of Commons to questions on the subject.
The Westminster Gazette takes a calmer
view 1t thinks the combination will easily
change the character of British trade and
says: Whether Great Britain likes it or
not, the trust movement Is part OF the
evolution Of modern business and there is
little chance Of resisting it. The shipping
companies merely propose to adopt char
acteristic American organization under the
guidance Of Americans who are pastmasters
in that particular line Of business
AS to how combines shall be compelled
to regard public convenience, the West
minister Gazette finds legislation ineffective
and thinks there is no other corrective but
the enlightened self-interest Of the COM
bines themselves.

Wife Has VIII of Her own.
Lord Dundonald, who is so years old, has
a personal hold upon his men which, per-
haps even more than his conceded quail
ties as a leader, has contributed to his sue
cess. His wife, who was a Welsh heiress,
inherited her beauty as well as broad acres
from her family, the Heskeths, with the
addition OF a very pretty will of her own.
When the district council OF Abergale, near
her seat, Gwyreh castle, tried to popu-
larize the place as a seaside resort and
set on foot compulsory parliamentary meas
ures to force desired Improvements, she cut
down a beautiful avenue Of trees that had
stood fo- centuries, thereby destroying its
principal beauty.
Canada will welcome the earl, who sue
ceeds Major General O'Grady Haly. He
will have the satisfaction OF commanding
some OF the finest men the British lion
boasts. The minister Of militia and stan
will wait his arrival at Halifax, where
he is expected the latter part Of May,

will not sail until July. Lord Dundonald
will make his headquarters in Ottawa.

LONDON, April 26-(New York World
Cablegram - Special Telegram.) - Queen
Alexandra has chosen the duchess Of Marl-
borough. IL is said, as a special compliment
TO Americans. to be one of her attendants
at the coronation. The other attendants
1t is reported are to be the duchesses Of
Sutherland. Portland and Montrose. This
selection Is purely arbitrary and the senior
duchesses are affronted because their claims
have been overlooked.
The peeresses are more than ever dis
tressed about their coronation robes. They
simply loathe themselves in them The
robes are thick about the waist. heavy,
unbecoming and the smart ones complain
that there is nothing to distinguish them
from the dowdies. Then the peeresses are
dying to know what kind OF a crown the
queen is planning to wear, but the queen
won't tell, and even keeps secret where
her dladem is being made. They only know
IL will contain the Kohnoor, and that sne
has refused to wear the trying kind OF
robes she prescribed for them. When one
OF their number deplored to the queen that
the peeresses would look indifferently, the
queen is said to have replied "Individ-
ually you may not look smart, but the mass
OF crimson velvet and gold should make a
very hne enect on the abbey.
King Carries His Point.
After a prolonged tussle with the arch
bishop Of Canterbury and other ecclesi-
Rstical dignitaries King Edward succeeded
IN cutting out of the coronation ceremonial
all Of its most tedious and usually costly
parts, The ceremony of first oblation is
to be excised. This consists in the king
and queen each presenting an expensive
cloth OF gold altar cloth to the archbishop,
together with a wedge of solid gold weigh
ing one pound. He has also abolished the
reading Of the ten comma ndments and his
solemn adiuration to faithfully observe
them. Also the hallelujah. the anthem
and long final prayer. He compromised on
the litany, which is TO be reduced one-half,
and on the benediction, which is to be
curtailed. Only the senior peer Of each
degree OF the nobility is to make an act OF
kOnage instead of the whole lot of them.
The coronation oath is to be altered by
emitting reference to the church in Ireland
which has been disestablished since the
last coronation. No mention is expressly
made OF the communion, but that is be-
heved to have gone with the rest The
kings declared object is to save time, but
Il is felt that he has also sensibly denuded
the ceremonial of formalities which would
not be edifying under the circumstances,
