Edward VII. speech writer.


An amusing aftermath Of King Ed
wards Partisan visit comes id the form
Of the following story. says Harpers
Weekly: The king, whom llmitless
practice in the long years Of his heir
apparentship made an expert in speech
making, Invariably composes his ora
tons on the spot and delivers them or
hand. But mere reporters are not adj
mitted TO state banquets such as that
given at the Elysea in Paris to the king
hy the president Of the French repub-
lie. 1t followed that when the king
was asked for the text Of his speech
for subsequent publication 10 text was
Forthcoming. His majesty had finally
to follow the course of lesser mortaIs
and write out his speech himself. And
exactly the same thing occurred at the
Hotel de vine In this case the de-
layed telegram begging for the speech
only reached his majesty at Ports
mouth, and he had there and then to
set to aad write it. One wonders what
became Of those two pieces Of copy and
whe aar they win appear in the ar
chives Of the future.

period Of thirty days and shall jointly
pay the cost Of repairs to their engine. 1t
was alleged that through their negligence
the engine was damaged and was late in
getting into service at fire on July u, 1903
The approval Of Commissioner Macfarland
overrules the recommendation Of Chief En-
gineer VIM. T. Belt. who advised that the
penalty inflicted on the men should be the
cutting off Of their leave for an aggregate
of thirty days only.
when box Of was sounded on the alarm the
day In question the company left its quar-
tiers promptly and proceeded to the proper
station by a fire plug near the scene Of the

was improperly managed, and that when
the hose was laid out the engine was drag
ged from its position by the hydrant pull
ing the discharge from the engine and put

ter was inquired into by a board appointed
by Chief Belt and the board reported
finding as stated.
Chief Belt in his Endorsement upon the

posed as too severe and recommended that
the two f1remen be simply deprived of their
days on for thirty days, and that they be
reprfmanded by the Commissioners. After
examining the papers Commissioner Mac

DID NOT FIGHT AN APPEAL.
Counsel for Gaynor and Greene Has Re-
turned From London

A dispatch from Quebec yesterday says:
T. Teschereau who went to England to rep
resent Gaynor and Greene, the fugitives
from the United States, before the privy
council has returned to Quebec. Mr.. Tes-
chereau in an interview said:
When 1 set out for England it was uA-
der the impression that the notice of mo-
ton before the privy council for leave to
appeal the judgment of Mr.. Justice Caron
was a private case. but when 1 reached
London L learned that the question had
been made international one. The Eng
lish counsel associated with me at once
realized that the .privy council out of
courtesy to the United States, could not do
otherwise than grant the request for leave
to appeal
When Sir Edward Clark, in behalf of
the Attorney General of the United States,
made his motion for leave to appeal Mr..
Asquith stood up in the court and informed
the priyy council that while we did not ad-
nit the statement set forth, Gaynor and
Greene had no objections whatever to the
leave to appeal being made, but, on the
contrary, welcomed it, as they desired final
Judgment on the case that would close 1t
forever as far as the British courts were
concerned. The leave requested was then
granted without any comment whatever
being made by any of the presiding
judges, and all the dispatches to the con-
trary sent out to this country and published
in the press simply were fabrica tons

ANNUAL ASSEMBLY.
District Corps, Spanish War Veterans,
to Meet August II.

The corps commander of the District of
Columbia Spanish War Veterans has issued
orders for the annual corps assembly Mon
day, August II. in Spanish War Veterans
hall, 719 9th street. The principal business
Of the session will be the election of corps
officers, matter in which considerable in
terest is being manifested.
There are a number of candidates for
each office except for the position of corps
commander. The successful progress of
the corps during the past year Is said to
be due to the business-like methods pur
sued by Major Hodgson, the present COM
mander, and it is proposed to unanimously
re-elect him for the ensuing term as an ex-
preston Of appreciation of the efficient
manner IN which he has administered the
affairs of the corps His first work was to
present. at the convention of the national
army in Detroit, a resolution requesting the
President to recommend law providing for
the transfer of civil employees from the in
sular possessions to the United States,
without requiring them to take an addi-
tional examination. The recommendation
was complied With and adopted by the
civil service commission. Major Hodgson
formulated the plans, it is claimed. which
resulted in Congress appropriating 81 500
for the benefit of needy Spanish war SOL
diers. This sum was added to the money
appropriated for the civil war veterans
home. and has enabled the managers Of
that institution to move into a larger build
ing.
The proposition for the District corps to
rent the entire building, 719 9th street. was
considered to be too extensive by many
prominent members Of the organization, but
Major Hodgson argued in favor of the
proposition, and. with the assistance of
others who thought the enterprise prao-
ticable, devised ways and means for attain
ing the desired object. He was chairman
of the joint committee on the recent lawn
fete, the medium through which the neceS-
sary funds were raised to enable the corps
to lease the new building
Members of the corps say there should be
tinuation Of the present system of business
is desired, and that another year of vigor-
Gus leadership will greatly enhance the in
tereStS of the organization.
Among those whose names have been
mentioned for the several Offices are: Capt.
Shorey of Astor Command DR.. Cox. Law
ton Command; Capt. Leech, Willard Com
mand; Capt. Wheaton, LaWton Command;
L. W. Dolph, Miles Command Lon D. Sheets,
