 London periodical says; "The H. fated Count Zborowski. who was as well known at Melton Mowbray as at Monte Carlo. was the son of q Polish peasant who emigrated to the United States and made some money as a farmer In New Jersey. He invested all that he was worth in real estate on the outskirts of New York, and as the land was sold many years afterwards by the yard his son came into a fortune of about five million of dollars. Count ZborowslSi bought his title when he first came to Europe"
 In the meantime the money march of the conquerors goes steadily on.s Mrs Cornwallis West, who. by the way, now prefers to be called Mrs. George West. is again very conspicuous socially, and 1t would seem as if this fair lady had dis covered the fountains of youth, so young and handsome does she appear Mrs. Ernst Kennard has taken Lady Padel- ford's house until her own home in Port land Square is ready, when she expects to give a series of dinners and dances.

 The attendants at the opera this sea- son are, for the first time, decorated with badges of office; that is to say, the Royal Arms in silver. suspended by chains from the coat lapels, and worn in front of the waistcoat. Hitherto there was no way to distinguish them from the members of the audience, except that it was wickedly said they were sometimes better dressed The box attendants are old servants of the opera house. One of them has been there for thirty-fve years. Another, who was originally at Her Ma jestys, has seen every performance of the Ring in London.

New York, June 27.-The cup defender 'Reliance" trials have been rather tame, and there have not been many yachts fol- lowing many of the races. MT. and Mrs. George Gould have made glad the hearts of the Narragansett people by taking cottage there. This means a great deal of entertaining. Narragansett is convent ent for the polo practice there being the club where some of the games are to take place, and Newport only q short dis tanee away. The cottage will be a mere pied a terre,' as the Emerald is to be the real home of the Gouds this summer.
 MT. and Mrs Clarence Mackay will be great deal on the colonia, which Mir. Maekay has chartered for the season and which he uses to take him to and from Roslyn. The arrival of Sir Thomas Lip ton will change some of the yachting plans and create a pleasant little breeze. MT and Mrs. Alexander Van Rensselaer,, who arrived from Europe on Wednesday, will have the May in commission; Arthur Kemp has the Sea Fox; Colonel and Mrs. John Jacob Astor will spend great deal of their time on the Namouna. The yacht is in commission and is getting ready to sail as soon as the Astors return from England, where they are now, stopping in London town at Claridge's

Rakes and Her. man Norman, of the British embassy, also gave a party, and for one day the weather was warmer. There was a pa- rade in the afternoon, and the citizens obeyed the quaint proclamation of the chief of police to look after their goods and chattels while the parade was pass ing and not to leave their houses open to the mercy of the evildoer.

Many of the immigrants now arriving on our shores in myriads are the least desirable prospective citizens that have ever left the old world for the new A large percentage of them are as ignorant of our language and Institutions as the far northern Eskimos, or the cannibals of the South Sea Islands. But despite this fact, every man of them, twenty one years of age, can, under certain con- ditions, vote at the next Presidential election, precisely the same as If he were a descendant of the Puritan Pilgrims, the product of two centuries of culture and refinement. and equipped with all the educational advantages that Yale, Harvard, Princeton or Columbia Univer- sities can bestow. More than that, 1t is possible to conceive of conditions where five, ten, twenty or fifty thousand of these wretched victims of monarchial despotism and persecution, may give the decision at tho ballot box, which will award the highest office cn earth to one of two men whose names they scarcely know. "Impossiblel" some one exclaims. Oh noi Read on and you will see.
 Nearly one half the states in the Union in their desire to induce foreign immi- grants to settle in them, confer the suf- frage upon aliens within very short period after they have declared their in- tention to become citizens. This privi- Iege these states in common with their sister commonwealths, have, under the Constitution, the right to grant While the general government controls natur- alization, regulation of the suffrage is function of the state, with the exercise of which the central power does not con cern itself, provided the ballot is not withheld on account of race, color or previous condition or servtude." as pre- scribed in the Fifteenth amendment to the great instrument.

WRECKED A TAeALoe PLAY.
American Audience Resents an Insult
 to the Flag.

Washington, June.-As a result of the production of play at the Rissal theatre in Manila, Aurelia Valentino, the author, is in jail, one actor is In the hospital and an actress is nursing broken arm.
 The details arrived at the war de- partment this morning by mail. The play was in Tagalog, "Kahapon Nga- yon at Bukas," which, translated, means Yesterday, Today and Tomor- row" The first act depicted life under the Spanish regime, ending in a battle with the rulers, in which the Filipinos were victors. Then came the day of American sovereignty, The Stars and Stripes fioated at right center, while the leading lady in the role of "Inde- pendencia' told the audience of the patience of her people under oppres- sion. Suddenly she tore the American flag from it's standard, revealing the flag of the Katipunan, and while she delivered trade against the United States little Filipino amused himself by jumping and splitting upon the flag.
 Up to this point in the proceedings the score or more of Americans in the place had not understood much of the drift of the play, owing to their ignor- ance of the language. but here they got into action and made a rush for the stage while the native audience was bowling with delight. The star dis appeared in short order into her dress ing room, and thence through the stage entrance to her home.
 A brawny-armed invader grabbed the leading man by the ankles and swung h.Ag through bamboo brake and jungle brush. A second invader took fancy to a Filipino ideal statue of the God dess of Liberty and hurled it down steep flight of stairs He had thought 1t to be of plaster, but to his surprise ne saw fat Tagalog actress rolling at the foot of the flight and crying with pain. Then the crowd proceeded to de- molish everything that remained.
 The department Is informed that this is not the only instance in which Kafi- punan propaganda has been carried on through the medium of the stage. Un- fortunately, many of the alleged sedi- tious utterances do not appear in the texts, nor are the objectionable acts indicated in the stage directions. It may, therefore, be necessary to order the entire suppression of native plays
 similar case has been reported from Batangas, and the evil seems to be spreading through the islands. At the latter place there was no insult to the flag, but the language and the act ing were highly insulting to the gov ernment and the manager of the the atra who is also the author of the Dlav is now under arrest. He is said to have turned out number of similar dramas and has received $500, Mexi- can, from the Katipunan for his sery- ices.

THE NEWS FROM LONDON
BY HENRY DEvEREAux.
Joseph Chamberlains Colonial Policy Pronounced SC an Escapade of the Ambitious Secretary, SC

London, June 27.-Mr. Chamberlain's his admirers. The debate in the com- mons has revealed a ministry opposed to one of its members and that one mem Der challengeing the attention of the na- tion and gaining a prominence not ac- corded to the prime minister. MT
 Chamberlains cleverness is not very long sighted, and he is prone to act on impulse without very closely considering the consequences. Imperialism struck him as his best card and therefore he played 1t. It has been the battle-cry of the late Sir Ellis Ashmead- Bartlett. But he Is an abler man and a better speaker than Sir Ellis was, and he count der it popular. In this he succeeded. But Imperialism in the abstract still left room for the discussion of domestic is- sues. He, therefore, involved us in a war with the Transvaal. Probably had he dreamt how long this war would last and what 1t would cost, even he would
 have hesltated to engage us in it. But he was as ignorant of all outside the Bri-
 sh empire as the humblest grocer's as- sistant in Birmingham. The war over. he betook himself to South Africa. His departure was boomed and his return home was boomed by the Press, but with the public the trip fell somewhat flat. When he came back he found MT. Bal tour had replaced Lord Salisbury as pre- mier. No one more than MT. Chamber lain fully realizes that if a public man does not In these sensation times occupy the political stage, and see that the rays of the lime-light are turned exclusively on him, he will soon be forgotten. He therefore cast about to find some means to attract attention to himself and to throw his colleagues into the back ground MT. Balfour has gallantly stood by him, and he could not well openly turn against him. He had consequently to find something which, whilst making the newspapers talk about him. would not seem to be an open attack on his
 leader Militant Imperialism he had the sense to see had had it's day, and a re- action against 1t had set in. But he had Included In his Imperialism the doctrine that the tie between us and our Colonies ought to be strengthened by sort of Zollverein. The Colonies were to grant preferential treatment to our exports,
 and we, in return, were to grant the -Aame favorable treatment to their ex- ports. But as the latter consist almost entirely of foodstuffs and of raw mater lal. and as these are admitted to our { ports free of duty, 1t became necessary to impose duties upon them in order to be able to exempt goods coming from our Colonies As a first step in this direc-
