Clarence Mackay is a pretty good
sort OF chap, In spite Of the two score
millions and more which, as the sue
cessor to his father. ne controls in

He was the younger OF the elder
Mackay's two sons; the elder John

from a horse Ia France some years
ago. Throughout the boyhood ana

When the elder Mackay died there
many who wondered whether Clar-
ence would be able to take up the

WAR CORRESPONDENTS FLOCKING
HOME FROM MANC HURIA
Their Regard for Hays Diplomacy and Their
Predictions for End of War

New York, Nov. 5.-The war cor
respondents are trooping back. Three
Of them-Millard, Frederick Palmer
and o. X. Davis-have returned with
in a week. They are a unit in bound
less admiration of the japanese as a
soldier, and say that nothing that has
been told about him can convey more
than bare idea Of what a wonder
he is.
Coming from Palmer. who has been
a frank lover of the Japanese ever
since the march to Pekin, these senti-
ments are not so surprising. But Mil
lard went to the war with the con-
viction that there was nobody like
the Russ. He maintained that the
Russians were right throughout, that
they ought TO keep what they had in
Asia, and that, thanks to their Won
derful military strength and ability,
they would succeed. He has returned
with the conviction that the Russian
has only one redeeming quality, which
Is bravery-sheer, unreasoning unfal-
tering bravery. He says that the Rus

that they are devoid of knowledge OF
most things pertaining to modern
war; and he thinks that before the
end of next year the Japanese viii
have the Russian army locked up in
Hardin.
Palmer goes farther than this, and
declares that by the end OF the year
the Japs will have taken not only Port
Arthur and Vladivostok, but Hardin
as we'll, and that the Russ will be
driven out of Eastern Asia. Davis also
believes firmly that the end of next
year will see d great and decisive

is not surprising that it is so. That,

Then one wants a battering ram to use
on the high brick walls like those of
convent, that shut in the beautiful
flower gardens.
Perhaps on a moonlight night,
when Luna casts her soft radiance
over the scene. it might be called pic
turesque. Especially is this so stand
ing on Westminster bridge watching
the crowd, and the boats, the high
building in deep shadows, and listening
to the soft splash of the Thames.
Nothing of its kind can be more
diverting than a ride on the top of
an old fashion omnibus, through Lon
don streets. More so, if you can sit
next the driver, and have him tell you
quaint jokes, and also point out to you
the smallest church in the world and
other points of interest. Though the

palace Of Cardinal Wolsey, a narrow

similar building with a projecting

Lady Jane Grey looked. Through Ok
ford, a famous business street, to Pic
cadilly and Charing Cross, where Nell
sons monument stands. Either at
night or day, there is a ceaseless surge
of humanity. London never sleeps.
The Englishman complains that the
Irish wit that used to find it's way to
LONDON is dying out. But there are
still flashes of wit. or sarcasm, that
often passes for wit, as the following
will attest:
A diminutive specimen of boy

"Huhl Didn't yer mother let yer?"
Another, when given a penny for
polishing the shoes, and not being sat
isfed with this customary price, ask
ed:
Sure, an kin yer afford hit?"
Nearly all the literary landmarks
are fast disappearing to make room
for modern progress. Dickens "Old
Curiosity Shop" was pulled down a
few months ago. Carlyle's home has
been effaced.
The marriage question has invaded
England americans settled that long
ago., and much discussion has en-
sued.
George Meredith, the eccentric Eng

United States, suggests that there be
a marriage lease for ten years, q sep

New York, Nov 5.-There are few
things that call for more comment

When one uses the words, Our gra-
cious Queen" they do not always mean
what they say. But it can be truth
fully said of Queen alexandra. In the
royal carriage drawn by four white
horses on her way to open some char
table institution, she bows graciously
I to the crowd eager to get a glimpse OF
her beautiful face. Seated beside her
is the Princess, and the little Princes,
the elder of whom perhaps one day
will be King, have just passed within
the gates of Buckingham palace.

You go over well-kept roads, through

Where there are no convent-like
walls one sees beautiful gardens. On
the sides of church and home the ivy
and Virginia creeper have changed
their green foliage for the warm tints
Of October, and festoon the walls in
red, reddish pink and yellow.
Pretty tea rooms are numerous,
where one can refresh themselves with
cup Of tea and scone, while the
team is being looked after in the old
fashioned court yard. The latticed
window is filled with towering plants.
and everything looks "just like what
you read about in an English novel"
Perhaps If you are very fortunate
and are there before 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, you may witness the fol-
lowing:
A bridal party is just entering a
quaint little church. The parents en-

tie. We all know that he is necessary
TO such an event-wel. he does not
wear white dress. and his clothes
cannot be described to any advantage.
so we shall only speak OF the bride
and the church. The ceremony was
performed by the vicar of the parish
whose congregation on Sundays apart
from the lord of the manor and some
half-dozen other gentry of lesser de-
gree. amounts to about forty agricuI-
tural iaoorers, who keep the Sabbath
as a day of rest In its literal sense
for they sleep through the greater part
OF the service.
The bride was daintily gowned in
crepe de chene en- train, with Tyrolese
chiffon hat. She and her bridesmaids
carried beautiful bouquets. The
brides father gave her away, while
her Drother acted as best man, and an
other OF her brothers presided at the
organ. rendering with fine effect, as

spending OF the money and not take a

This, however. was exactly what
Clarence Mackay did not propose to
do. He was, willing to wait a, little
while, but not too long. and when he
took up the reins Of power he took
them up In earnest. To-day his per-
sonal force and his good sense are be-
I coming steadily more and more APP
parent. He has already won a place
among the younger multi-miIlionalres
OF New York that is quite as credita-
Bile in its way as that of George Gould,
who, as his fathers son, succeeded
to the headship of the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the numer-
Gus Gould railroad properties.

Clarence Mackays wife was Kath-
crime Duerr, a young woman of blood
ed ancestry, as ancestry goes in
America, and blessed with as great
possessions as her husband Is in the
way OF wealth. Her tendencies are far
stronger toward the picturesque than
her husbands. as witness the remark

$1,000 to get up, the gosips say, while
the receipts ran a little below the cost.
II Is too early as yet, to predict
whether or not Clarence Mackay will
continue IN the political path along
which he has just taken few tenta-
tive steps, but from all accounts he
has done many things that have made
him personally almost popular enough
with his Long Island neighbors al
ready TO warrant his calling upon
them for their votes without danger
