Special Dispatch to Th. Cali.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-Though the King
is frequently guest at parties given by
American hostesses in England and is
sometimes even accused by English folk
of being unduly partial to Americans, he
is by no means pleased that their enter
tainments here SO far surpass those given
by his own subjects. A hint, therefore,
has gone forth that the owners of certain
great houses and estates would obtain a
larger measure of royal favor If they
emerged from the state OF aristocratic Sc
clusion in which they dwell. and contrib
uted their share to maintaining the repu-
tation of the English nobility for some
thing like generous hospitality. Others
who, while giving occasional parties,
have shown disposition to economic in
this direction which is not justified by
their pecuniary circumstances, have re-
ceived delicately worded suggestions from
exalted quarters that they would do well
to entertain more lavishly.
The hints will probably bear fruit next
season. IN that which has just passed
most of the big entertaining in London
has been done by Americans, as has been
frequently noted by English society jour
nals--not without occasional sarcastic
comments. In many cases lack of means
cannot be urged as an excuse. Peers who

matter. They are absolved from the
costly social obligations that are sup
posed to attach to high rank and broad
acres galore. But few Of those who prac-
tice economy in the matter of entertain
ing are distinguished by their liberal con-
tributions to charity. Therefore, it has
been suggested to them that they would
do well to follow the example set them
by the rich American sojourners In our

Young as she was, having barely at

career as Queen But there crept into
her eyes a look Of anxious sorrow which

WANTS KING EDWARD TO

London Clergyman Prays for Monarch's
Change of Heart, but Ruler
Still Plays Bridge.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-In the course of
a recent sermon at the City Temple the
Rev. r. J. Campbell, the eloquent non
conformist minister. expressed fer
vent wish that the Holy Ghost would
put IL into the heart of the King to
use his mighty influence to separate
gambling from sport" 1t may perhaps
be regarded as confirmation of the
reverend gentleman's previously ex-
pressed skepticism with regard to the
potency of prayer that though his con-
gregation applauded his plea the King
has given no evidence of undergoing
anything like a change of heart in the
direction indicated. He still plays
bridge and patronizes horse races. AS
a sensible and practical man there is
no doubt that the King is well aware
that gambling is one of the greatest
curses which aff1icts English society,
high and low. He is equally aware
that he is powerless to check It. II he
should develop a nonconformist con-
science and betake himself to ascetic
practices there would be an end to his
popularity and his mighty influence"
would vanish with him. To do as the
Romans do exercising due discretion
and moderation meanwhile, is the
foundation on which King Edwards
popularity with the crowd rests. Mod

A collision between these rival and in

The form which il will take remains to
be seen One can. scarcely believe that
in this age of civilization a struggle for
commercial supremacy will degenerate
into bloody encounters and general
conhagration OF the nations. Yet this
is not impossible. World production
has assumed such proportions, has
created such needs. has imposed upon
each country such obligations, that

Government should declare for the lat

So long as industrial production de-
pended upon human labor, its extension
was forcibly limited by the number Of
hands available and by their natural
weakness.
when, however, machinery was sub
stituted for the hand of man, when trans
portation and communication became
simple and economical, the petty markets
