 LONDON. April 20.-Queen Victo- ria's letters, their privacy or publici- ty, was the subject of dispute at law between the Duke of Rutland and his half-brother, Lord Cecil Manners.
 The letters concerned were written by Queen Victoria 10 the late Duke of RCtland, a cabinet minister and a personal friend Of her Majesty. In his will the Duke left all private and family letters written after 1882 (the yelr of his second marriagel to Lord Cecil, the eldest son of that marriage, the remainder going to his heir, the present duke. The old duke further directed his heir to destroy all letters marked confidential" except those he thought might be useful as state documents in the future.
 The present dukes object in going to law was to prevent Lord Cecil from publishing confidential" letters from the Queen to the old duke. The char acter of some of these letters. al though on political and not private subjects, might be called "confiden- tial,' and the court had to decide whether they could be held as coming within the terms of the will and 1 should be destroyed.
 ChanceTy Judge Joyce has reserved his decision on this point a very i'm portaut one from the standpoint of historians of the Victorian era. Little Princess Mary of Wales is extremely fond of dancing, and the weekly dancing classes held at Marl- borough House under the supervision of her mother, the Princess of Wales. are the most important events in the life of the little Princess at present. Both she and her brothers are liy- ing a life of almost Spartan strict ness. It is doubtful. indeed, if any other children in Great Britain have more simple or healthy existence. ia which an early bedtime is one of the prominent features.
 Princess Mary has on more than one occasion been sent to bed unusu- ally early for some childish fault. She refused to obey her governess on one occasion, and when the latter threat ened to tell her mother, she replied: 'I ani q princess, and l shall do as l like
 But when her mother was informed of the incident, the latter said: You are nos a princess today, but only a naughty little girl" and the sequel was rather painful.
 The summer dancing lessons have jus begun at Marlborough House, the town house of the Prince and Princess of Wales, where the little Princess has for her companions at the week. ly classes the children of Lord Des- borough, Lord Burghclere and Lord Salisbury. The Prince and Princess Of Wales are usually present at the dancing lesson and take great inter- est ia their daughters progress.
 The existence of an international Rible trust is denied by the British and Foreign Bible Society, which was reported from America to be involv- ed with the American and Scotch soci- cites in corner on Bibles.
 The only arrangement in force be- tween our society and the American one,' said Mir. Taylor, ''is to the ef- feet that we supply them with copies of the books they may require at the actual manufacturing cost. We do not work in the United States at all, and if we receive any orders from America we do not execute them, but refer those who order to the American society. .f
 The trouble in America has. I think, arisen principally from the fact
