THE STATE OF GWALIoR.
A Flourishing Province of the British
Empire
From the London Express.

FROM the London Express.
III ever prince combined great political!
power with great historical associations a
striking individuality with personal charm
1t is the Maharajah Scindhia of Gwalfor
The popular conception Of an eastern poten-
tate Is that of an autocrat, stern and re-
lentless in his wrath, magnificent and
whimsical In his fits Of generosity.
But no eastern prince so little fulfilis that
conception as Maharajah Scndhia Versa
tile in his accomplishments as a prince
many-sided In natures gifts to him as
man, consistent and arduous in his earnest
desire to seek the welfare Of his people. he
combines in himself the two ideals of a
ruler, the eastern and the western. And
withal. such is the gracious and tender dis
position OF his heart that. even IL he wera
not prince. he would yet be great and
noble a man.
In Gwalior he has erected a magnificent
hospital at his own expense, in which some
5000 patients are treated annually. and so
keen is the interest taken by his hiahness
In It's work that. notwithstanding his nu-
merous other labors he has yet found time
to go through the regular course of med
ical student.
Once. in the course of his frequent
rounds through the hospital, he heard that
a cooiie had fallen from a scaffold outside
and broken his arm. Instead of summon
ing the house surgeon his highness went
out himself and set the limb and bound up
the wound with the utmost care and tender
ness.
His last public act in this connection is
still fresh in English memory Touched by
the possibilities of great suffering in an
srduous campaign. he fitted out at his own
expense a splendid hospital for the use of
British troops in the recent China expcdi-
ton. :
Another conception of an eastern ruler Is
that of supreme Judge. sitting upon hjS
throne like Solomon, and giving daily JUS
ttce. In this Maharajah Scindhia fulfills
the eastern ideal, except that by a mar
velous combination his justice also partakes
of all that Is best in western Jurisprudence.
for he Is diligent student Of Austin and
Bentham. --, b. + So :
All these. though he be absolute monarch
in state as large as Scotland and Wales
combined, alike In extent and population.
And, by strange coincidence. the kingdom
of Gwalior is not unlike Scotland in its

MR.. AND MRS. REID SAIL.
Start for Home on the Steamer Phila
delphia,

LONDON, July 26.-Mr. and Mrs. White
law Reid sailed today for New York from
Southampton on the steamer Philadelpbia
this being the date fixed for Mr.. Reds re-
turn soon after the announcement made
that the coronation Of King Edward must
be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Reid was
then invited to return whenever the coro
nation should take place. Since that time
however, circumstancesled the British gov
eminent to give notice that under the
greatly changed conditions of the corona
ton it would not again invite the special
representatives OF foreign governments IN
return, and although Mr. Reid was assured
a warm welcome personally it did not seem
best to him to OCCUPY An exceptional posi-
ton. With the approval of the United
States government he Is therefore carving
out the original plan for his return.
Since Mr.. Reid came back from Scotland
July o. his time has been filed by a round
OF social engagements. ~
Under the special command of the king
the royal equerry, Lieutenant Colonel Sir
Fleetwood Edwards, who has been in at
tendance on Mr.. Reid, accompanied Mr.
and Mrs Reid today to the train, where
they were met by members Of the special
and regular embassies Of the United States.

ton agree in Croghans case that his Ian
euage when he saw the indignity offered
TO his lieutenant, was couched in the plain
tmpulsive terms of common speech. and not
in the dignified eloquence preferred by his
tory. He shouted: "Shepp. come in. and we
Will blow them all to hell" And he soon
showed that he meant II.
