CLUB FOR HUSBANDS AND
WIVES FORMED IN LONDON
Organization to Rival the Old "Al
macks" Intended to Dominate
Society in the Metropolis.
WOME.N'S CLUBS NEEDED

LONDON, April 9.-The Almacks
Club, in Berkeley street, Piccadilly, is an
ambitious undertaking. Its aim is said TO
rival the old Almacks, which, under the
guidance of the great ladies of the time
ruled society with a rod of iron many
years ago.
The new Almacks may become known as
the husbands and wives club, as at least
committee. The hours when the club is
open will be from in the afternoon till =
the next morning. the full force of the
cuisine being expended on the after-theater
suppers. so that there need be no undue
fastening over the meal as is necessary
when supping at restaurants.
Speaking in support of women's clubs,
Mrs. Alfred Lytleton. wife of the colonial
secretary. said some people were beginning
TO be somewhat disturbed about the num-
Der of these clubs that are springing into
existence, one person even complaining the
other day that il was a sign of growing
frivolity. and that women no longer cared
as they used 10 for home and home pur-
suits: but she held that women, so soon
as they began to take an interest in public
life. naturally wanted some of the helps
that men found SC necessary. Women
wanted an interchange of Information and
hospitality. and that Was what the women s
clubs could accomplish.

EGYPT IS ORGANIZING
TO SECURE HOME RULE
Khedive Is Interested in a Move
ment to Secure the Institution of
an Egyptian Parliament.
OLD IDEA OF DUFFERIN'S

CAIRO, Egypt, April 9.-At the present
moment Egypt is passing through an acute
political crisis owing to an organized agita-
ton in favor of an Egyptian parliament.
an old idea once vaguely supported by
Lord Dufferin.
Sheikh Ali Yussef editor and proprietor
of the Mouayad. the most widely read
and influential paper in the East, init
mate friend and counselor of the Khedive,
and of keen intelligence with un-
bounded influence on Egyptian people. re-
Gently proposed at a meeting of the General
Assembly that the government be requested
to form an Egyptian parliament on the
main lines Of the French Chamber of Dep
uties.
After he had explained his scheme at
length, the majority of the members
adopted his views and voted in favor of
approaching the government on the subject.
The Assembly, it may be stated, is a
deliberative body which meets every two
years. The government is not bound by
its views.
Two other public men have joined the
movement, the editor of the Lewa news
paper and another friend of the Khedive,
a past master in the art of intrigue. These
three men are bitterly hostile to each
other, and the fact that the only bond of
sentiment between them is their friendship
with the Khedive gives enlightened Egyp-
tians cause for reflection.
Every Egyptian wishes for the creation
of parliament, but no one desires it
under such auspices. The Khedive is not
particularly popular, and as public opinion
Identifies him with the agitation the mat
ter is treated as a personal one and in
spires GOODNESS and distrust.

FAMOUS WORKS OF ART
ARE SADLY NEGLECTED
Ceiling Panels in Whitehall Palace,
Painted by Rubens, Badly
Damaged by Damp.
BADLY NEED CLEANING

LONDON, April 9.-The famous ceiling
panels, by Rubens, at the banqueting hall
in Whitehall Palace are stated to have
been badly damaged by damp.
Although the ceiling does not show any
marked deterioration from this cause, the
paintings have darkened by age and dirt
TO such extent that it is well nigh i'm
possible 10 recognize the very subjects rep
resented. The canvases show many dents
bumps. and creases, and are badly in need
OF cleaning, restoring, and stretching.
1t appears that the cleaner has been at
work three times since the ceiling was first
rut up, but nobody seems to remember
when such attempts were made last
The Daily Mail says: This ceiling quite
apart from its unique artistic merit and
historical interest, is of almost priceless
value. and il seems extremely unwise to
let ii go to rack and ruin for the sake of
saving the comparatively trifiing expense
of restoration. The building, although oc-
cupied by the United Service Museum, is
under the control OF Office of Works. who
are responsible to the nation for the
preservation of this treasure

MARRIAGE TRADE SUFFERS
SEVERE SLUMP IN ENGLAND
Registrars Complain that Their
Fees Are Greatly De-
creased.
ALL CLASSES AFFECTED

LONDON. April 9.-Like everything else,
the marriage trade in England is bad. Reg
istrars of marriages complaining. They
state that there has been an appreciable
falling off in their duties during the past
year. and that consequently their fees have
been less. The tendency is still very much
on the downward road. 1t is only in times
of prosperity that the young folk can find
the necessary funds fer starting housekeep-
ing Few of them think of marriage
just at present.
The Sheffield Telegraph points out that
the decline in the marriage rate is not con-
fined 10 the working classes, which rather
suggests other causes at work as well as
bad trade. II the young men are growing
too nervous TO take on the responsibilities
of matrimony the ladies have the opportu-
mites this year of reminding them of their
duties. But even with the assistance of leap
year il is not expected that there Will be an
appreciable Improvement in the marriage
rate until trade is better.

ROUTE TO CHINA WILL
BE OPENED VA THIBET
One Effect of the Advance of the
British Mission from India to
the Lama's Capital.

CALCUTTA, April 9.-One of the results
of the British mission to Thibet is likely
to be the opening up of a direct route from
India to China.
Raj Sarat Chandra Das, c. 1. E., a native
gentleman who lived for a considerable
time in Lhasa. has written to the Bengal
Chamber of Commerce to point out that a
practicable route exists from the northeast
corner of Assam, through the Thibetan
province of Khan, into the very heart of
China.
The main road from Picking to Lhasa,
along which the Chinese amban, or resi-
dent, travels, in sedan chair carried by
thirty bearers, could be tapped by this
route.

Endorsements for Japs.

St. Petersburg, October 25 2;SO a. m. There is no news of immediate eonse- quence from the far east. The indications are that both sides are heavily intrench- ing though it is believed that General l<uropatkin will be ready for a forward movement at an early moment unless Japanese endorsements compel him to remain on the defensive
 Reports that Japanese endorsements are arriving. taken in connection with the enforced inactivity of the Russian forces on account of the weather are felt to be grave factor In the situation. There is reason to believe that the Japanese are drawing heavily on the Port Arthur army as well as upon Japan, in hopes of securing a numerical superiority that will enable Field Marshall Oyama to lnfict a crushing blow on General Kuropatkin. when hostllities are resumed.

NEW CRUISER IS
 AMONG FASTEST
COLORADO ON TRIAL TRIP MAIN TANNED AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 2226 KNOTS PER HOUR FOR THREE HOURS.

Boston, October 24-The armored cruis- CT Colorado built for the United States navy, by William Cramp and Sons. of Philadelphia, today on her trial covered SS nautical miles in 3 hours and 57 min utes and seconds, maintaining an hour ly average speed of 22.26 knots through the run. exceeding the speed of 22 knots called for in the builders contract by more than a quarter of knot.
 It Is thought that tide currents may increase her average slightly. The high est speed developed was 23.33 knots and this speed was maintained for 66 miles during the homeward run. Todays per formance rates the Colorado as the fast est vessel in the armored cruiser class and one of the fastest in the navy, the only large American ships that have ever exceeded her speed being the Columbia and the Minneapolis. The engines work ed smoothly and developed average horsepower of 2S,OO0 and the ponderous twin screws whirled at an average of 12S revolutions a minute and at times made 130 revolutions.
 The trial was held over the usual New England course. Starting off Cape Ann. the vessel steamed A knots up the coast to Cape Porpoise, Maine, making a bril- liant turn and started on the run back to Cape Ann. The weather was perfect In the turning figure eight and other maneuvering tests the ship gave splendid satisfaction, particularly complete a turn she made in circle, the diameter of which was little less than twice the length of the cruiser.
