Lady curzon's Friends jealous. s

Whereas reports from Delhi lead us
to believe that India bent its knee to
Lady -CurZon in homage and admiral
-tton, London gOssips deny the news of
this fine harmony. In West End draw
ing rooms it is said that there are at
least two knees that refused the loving
salute. One knee belonged to the
duchess of Connaught and the, other TO.
the countess of Dudley. and it is said
both of these British Ioblewomen took
with bad grace the Qualification of the
former Mary Letter, of Chicago. The
duchess of Connaught, as the daughter
in-law of Queen Victoria, was accorded
truly royal welcome, but even this
homage was not satisfying. There was
always the ominous reality that an
American girl was nominally her SUI.
perior. The countess of Dudley is one
of the haughtiest women in English
society, and she wreaked her indigna-
ton upon Mrs. Letter and Miss Daisy
Letter. .
AS result of these noblewomen's
injured pride, London is hearing that
Lady Curzon, after all, was not such
a dazzling beauty in her durbar splen--
dor. 1t is said that her dark hair,
parted severely in the middle, gave her
matrOnly appearance, and that in
reality she seemed fatigued and ex-
hausted throughout the festivities. Then
her coronation gown was criticised on
account of shoulder straps, which are
not in use. Furthermore, the enyious
Britons say that Lady Curzon has be-
come thin almost to a point beyond
recognition.

According to Mrs. RodriguezS she

after their marriage that their union

Probing the Ulcer Causes Pain.

It appears from late Washington ad- vices that Charles J. BOnaparte and Holmes Conrad, the special attorneys appointed by the president to inyesti. gate the Tulloch charges of corruption in official circles at the national capital, have prosecuted their work with fur too great zeal to suit influential mem. bers and supporters of the administra- ton. The effect of the report of the investigators upon the cabinet was like the bursting of bomb. Consternation was followed by desperate resistance Up to the close of last week three cab inet meetings had been held without any conclusion being reached as to what shall be done with the offensive report, which is said to inculpate men high in the service of the government and the councils of the republican party. A press report says:
 Secretary Shaw and Postmaster General Payne resent the reflections made on their departments by this re- port, and they are backed up by large contingent of influential republi. cans, in and out of Washington. They refer to Mr. Bonaparte, who has long been an independent republican de- voted to civil service reform interests. and to NIT. Conrad, who Is a gold stand. ard democrat, as two mugwumps.
 "Ihere IS a good deal ot talk con cerning the bad policy of going out

side the official family and the repub- lican party for investigators The re- port, 1t IS known, speaks out plainly, and this k what causes the trouble.
 "NIessrs. Bonaparte and Conrad practically call for the resignation of Robert J. Tracewell, comptroller of the treasury, but Secretary Shaw is standing by him. The forcing out of Auditor Castle few days ago, although It met with less resistance on Seer stary Shaw's part, also has provoked hoS. tility."
 President Roosevelt is really to be commiserated over the rumpus kicked up toy members of his official family. We haven't any doubt but that the president when he appointed Messrs. Bonaparte and Conrad was in earnest m desiring to expose any dishonesty that might exist in the departments of the federal government. Probably he and his nearest advisers thought that the most damaging disclosures of fraud had already been made and that an ln- vestigation by thoroughly bipartisan and impartial investigators would help the administration. But to their utter amazemeut the report made by Messrs. bonaparte and Conrad not only sub stantiates the Tulioch charges, but seemingly involves officials whose iu- tegrity was not previously questioned.
 We predict that after the cabinet re- covers from Its conniption fit the pres ident will have his way and bis iudg- ment and sense of honor will compel him to support the investigators for whom he IS personally responsible. To attempt to impeach them or to sup press their report would be far more damaging to the republican party than to make 1t public. It may cause anguish of spirit among 'the faithful" but they might as well make a clean breast of it, remembering that an "honest confession is good for the ggul "

The Alaskan Boundary Decision.

While the decision by the Alaskan . boundary commission k hcralded ill
 this country as great victory for
 American diplomacy, yet no other con
 clusion was possible, based alone on
 the merit, of the controversy.
 For over fifty years England did not contest the interpretation proclaimed by both Russia and America that the boundary of the Alaskan "pauhaudle" cut of Canada from access to the sea "abOve the point of fl degrees, 4O minutes It was not uutl 1898 that England ever claimed that the right
 interpretation of the treaty gave Cana da the upper portion of virtually all the fords between Portland canal and Mount St. Elias.
 England contended that by negotia- tlons with Russia between the years 1925 and 1885, the sovereignty held by Russia was invalidated, but the question was never given serious con sideration until 1896, after the discov cry of gold in the Klondlke.
 By the decision the United States is conceded control of the Lynn canal, possession of which was chiefly desired by England because of the rich mining towns of Dyea, the port of entry Skagway, White Pass and Lake Ben nett, situated along its banks and with in easy access of the sea. It is in and about this section that the rich gold deposits are located and by their indis. putable acquisition this country has gained an important victory.
 The Portland canal, or channel, given to Canada IS at the southernmost end of the panhandle, where there is factory and a Canadian settlement. The boundary line is simply moved across the channel. At it's mouth it is divided into two channels by Penrse island, which is tiny piece of land of no particular value The eastern chan. nel has all along been conceded to Can ada, which now merely obtains the undlsputed possession of the other waterway or western channel.
 At Washington the decision is re- gorded as marking the greatest step yet taken toward the general accept ance of arbitration in international dis pntes, as 1t was possible only by one or more of the commissioners voting against the contention of his own country, and this position was taken by Lord Alyerstone. The refusal of Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette. the Canadian commissioners, to sign the decision occasions no surprise, nor ioes It affect the validity of the agree nent which is ratified by majority vote Of the commission.
