Does Not Get Pension.

If General Porter were a French cit izen instead of foreigner, the possession of the grand cross of the Legion of Honor would have carried with it a pension for life of $50 a year. But foreign knights, no matter what their grade, receive no pecuniary addition. However, as knight grand cross of the Legion of Honor the general will. even after he retires from the post of ambassador at Paris, be ex- empt from the Jurisdiction of the ordi- nary tribunals in France, the only court competent to deal with any offense with which he might be charged being the Su- preme court. In all official and social functions in France he will be entitled to precede everybody who does not happen to be a grand cross of the order and should he die there he would have a right to the most imposing military hon ors, the presence of a greater part of en- tire division of -roops being de rigueur' at his funeral There are but three wo- men who have the grand cordon of the Legion of Honor-Ithe queen of Holland her mother. Queen Emma, and Queen Christiana of spain. The German em- peror, the king of Wurtemburg and the present king of Saxony are the only Eu- ropean sovereigns who have not been decorated with the grand cross of the Legion of Honor.

Notables to Arrive.

Talk of the coming of duchesses and other notables from abroad and the prob able part they will play in the seasons s gayety is the most interesting feature of the time. Always at this time of the tagers, prognostication and conjecture as to the prospects naturally lead to a thought of distinguished visitors. whose presence is always an incentive to great CT effort among the entertainers, and so in early July every one eagerly grasps at the slightest word or act bearing upon the matter as proof positive that Newport is to be fairly swarming with titled guests
 Newport is assured of a visit during the gay period of, Prince George and Prince Conrad of Bavaria, for they them selves have said that they would be there and happily there is much more probability at present than there usual ly has been in the past when her coming has been rumored that the Dowager Duchess of Manchester will visit there, for it is known that one prominent cot tager has asked her to be his guest.
 As to the report of the coming of the Duchess of Marlborough there is less to give it strength, but Newport hopes that she will come and will continue to do so till she appears upon the scene or it defi- nitely stated that she will not. Mean while the talk of the coming of the two duchesses, even if 1t shall not be sub stantiated by their actual arrival, has started a current of enthusiasm that will be felt all summer long.

GOOD TIMES IN WINNIPEG
BY W. I. MANNING.

Washington July 9.-The conferring on Gen. Horace Porter of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor is a compliment which our ambassadors many friends in Washington keenly appreciate. General Porter is one of the few American diplo- mats who can make d speech in the purest Persian French. Indeed some say he can speak the difficult language of Voltaire, Hugo and Gautier with such accuracy and briliancy as to make Brenchmen believe him native. Hon. Ed ward H. strobel, now adviser of the king of Siam and formerly MT. Clevelands am- bassador and minister plenipotentiary to Chile and Ecuador, is another distin- guished diplomat whose French, Spanish. Italian, German and Swedish are said to be close on perfection. When MT. Shobel, however, was first sent abroad as a sec retary of legation, our state department placed him in a country whose language he did not know. which was a queer pol- icy, but possibly the secretary of state. Bayard, believed Strobel would pick up spanish in a few months, which he did. He is young man of fifty, with bril- liant record as a diplomatist, financier and thoroughly genial man of the world
 Should there come a change of adminis- tration, his native state, South Carolina, which is intensely proud of him, would count on his being called to cabinet office. He could scarcely be called q handsome man, but has a highly dis tinguished look and bearing. As the French say, Ned carries himself well.

Predicts Russia's Defeat.

Another man of ideas recently here at the Raleigh i A. II. Hewitt, who has been doing business in Hong Kong these last twenty years. Naturally he takes a pro- found interest in the eastern war and his remarks thereon are worthy of careful study: "The sympathy of the Chinese" he said. lis with the Japanese in their struggle with Russia. not on the basis of racial affinity. for there is no sentiment in a Chinaman's makeup, but purely as a question of self-interest. I know a rich merchant interested in the Formosa trade who gave outright s5o0.v0 to the Japanese government, besides subscribing s2OO0.0O0 to the war loan. The Chinese know full well that if Russia conquers the island empire it will stimulate Muscovite ambi- ton to the point of coveting all of Asia. That is the reason the Celestials are talk ing such keen interest in the conflict: their own destiny hangs on the result. l lately went by rail from Nagasaki to Kobe. Everywhere I saw the most stir ring proofs of the loyalty of the people and their intense enthusiasm for the war. It isn't about Manchuria the little yellow men are fighting; they are making a stand for their rights in that country. it is true, but back of that is the settled conviction that their national existence is at stake. The Russian troops are ac- tuated by no such lofty motives. They are courageous soldiers, but no whit more valiant than the Japanese, and in the long run I am firmly convinced that the side which is nominally the weaker will come out victoriousv

High Life in Winnipeg.

M. B. Clark, a prominent New Orleans man, was recently at the Ebbitt and en- tertained some of the lobby loungers there by the hour with his "reminiscences Win nipeg was one of his topics. for he was there in the early eighties when a re- markable gathering of promoters. boom erS-and grafters-made it their focus and made Rome howl" "If ever a town was infested by a lot of crazy folks' said MT. Clark, Winnipeg was in that era of real estate speculation I shall never forget the auction sales of town lots that used to come off every night. and how the suckers were separated from their wealth. There was gambling from morn ing till night and more drinking of cham pagne than I ever saw before or since In fact, nobody ever called for any other sort of beverage, and only bottles of the $4 calibre were ordered. One night I saw convivial sport bet a basket of cham pagne with the dealer of a faro game on the turn of a card, and, losing this. kept up the lick until he had lost an even dozen baskets. He had the stuff brought in. and with the greatest good nature turned the mover to the winner Now he said. I'll buy em back from you and forthwith gave their equivalent in coin Immediately following this the wine was uncorked for free distribution, and every man in the house was made welcome till the last bottle was emptied.

Wolf of the Sea.

Camn Life Popular.

Camp life in the Adirondacks Is to be decidedly "the" thing this year. Various prominent families of society such as the Vandebilts, Rooseyelts, Reids, etc, and others in the list of the rich and socially great. have already gone into camp, and if they have not remained there any length of time, they have been there all the same and will return later, bringing with them congenal friends for house parties-and for. real house parties-not merely weekend stopovers" Life ill the Adirondacks, now that buffers and chefs are part of the houshold, lacks somewhat the free and untrammelled existence of a few years ago. but al the same time society takes kindly to being surrounded with comforts in the woods and to the same style of living to which it is ac- customed for eleven months out of the twelve of the year.

Quiet at Newport.

Newport, more beautiful than ever be- fore, is well filled, but the cottagers are merely basl1ing in the sand of the between season period before taking the plunge into the turbulent waters of midsummer There is no entertaining; there never is at this season. This is a time for relax alton, and Newporters realize that the serious business of a round of formal dinners and balls should be left to the six weeks which now constitute the sea- son proper. July furnishes but one of these weeks, September the last.
 However, with so many smart people gathered here Newport is not exactly quiet. The ambitious new folk who will endeavor to break the barriers of ex- clusiveness always furnish subject for conversation during calling hours and for those who congregate at the Casino to watch the tennis
