ward Tells Him All.

ward Tells Him All.
LONDON, Feb. 2,--An authoritative
statement embodying what the family
desires to say on the case of the Duke
and Duchess of Marlborough was CIV
en- out last night 1t is as follows;
'The differences between the Duke
and the Duchess OF Marlborough have
been settled privately. The children
will 60 to Sunderland House to join
their mother, and the duchess and the
children will proceed to the continent
early next week"
This statement is somewhat asbig-
uous owing to the possible interprsta-
ton that the duke and duchess have
settled their differences and resumed
the relations of husband and wife, but
the family expressly, desires to let II
stand as II is without giving II further
preclseness.
In other well informed quarters this
statement Is interpreted as meaning
that the duke and duchess have ar
ranged privately settlement OF terms
under which each Will have the care
OF the children for a portion of the
year and other details. In other words,
the children VIII now pass six months
OF the year with each parent. II Is un-
derstood that the duchess will con-
tinue to make Sunderland House her
London home, while the duke will have
town headquarters at West End
hotel, as he has done since october
last.
King Edward has been made ac-
quainted with the full terms Of the
settlement through the duke himself
who had an audience with his males
~ at Buckingham palace yesterday.
There Is great relief In royal and So
cIal circles that the affairs Of the
Marlboroughs will not get into the
courts.
The duchess has not been very well
lately, aud as she thinks well Of the
cure nj Mont Dor. France, she will
after short sojourn in Paris proceed
10 the Riviera with her sons. II II
said that the duchess will have an
audience OF Queen Alexandra while In
Paris next week. and this Is one ~ the
reasons given for her decision 20 60
abroad now.

Railroads are Only buying as their
necessities demand.
Pessimism IS more pronounced than
ever
A. Q. Brown & &C. say: The fact that
banks are discriminating more than
ever against irdustrials leads to the be-
lief that there must be much more sell
ing. Copper, Smelling. and Steel will
feel the pressure Of long stock for some
time to come.
The short side must from this time
on be attended with more or less danger
because stocks are low and rallies may
De frequent, and when they come. sharp.
