Among the first upon the scene

Aged Peeress Makes Startling Revela-
tions With No Attempt at Conceal

Started-King Attempted to Sup
press Book.

London.-To sue or not to sue is
the question agitating London So
ciety for the moment. This question
has been brought about through the
publication of Lady Cardigan's book,
my Recollections," wherein the
spiciest anecdotes of the highest in
the land are told with Elizabethan
plainness mingled with Bourbon del
icacy, She has obscured in the minds
Of flustered dukes and other mobiles
all thought Of the obsessing budget.
The revelations are so plain, men,
tioning names and dates without any
attempt at concealment that already
three libel suits are contemplated, al
though the solicitor engaged diplo-
matically denied he knew anything Of
the matter. If one Of these cases
comes to trial it will be particularly
interesting, raising the point at law
whether the dead can be libeled.
In the weekly World" there ap-
pears a long and bitter article over
the signature "H," which society gen.
orally credits to the Earl Of Ailesbury,
and wherein the book is denounced
as shameless and scandalous. The
writer demands that the authorities
withdraw it from circulation. If the
writer is Ailesbury he has personal
grievance against the author, as his
family is bitterly attacked and it is
generally believed he Is one Of those
about to start the libel suits.
That the book is the sensation Of

King Fails to Stop 1t.

The first edition was sold long be-
fore it was published, as it was we'll
known Lady Cardigan intended to
deliver the goods" and also that
King Edward had futilely used his in
fluence to induce her to give up the
project of publishing her memoirs.
The kings endeavors appear amply
justified in the light of the books
revelations. as the shroud of respect
ability which supposedly covers the
mid-Victorlan period is pierced and
torn ruthlessly aside, exposing con-
dition that for genteel vice attracts
comparison with the courts of the
French Louis.
Coming at this time, practically on
the eve of a general election, the book
undoubtedly will have great political
influence. and the nobility, which
through the budget have been upheld
as property pirates, all through the
pages of this book are portraited as
a class of social profligates, which will
not aid their cause any with the re-
ligiously inclined bulk of the British
people.
While society is a-storm over Lady
Cardigan's indiscretions the author
ess herself sits calmly in her country
mansion in Northhamptonshire, per-
fectly unconcerned and only regret
ting that she restrained her pen and

Spokesman-Revlew concerning the
famous Spokane rate case:
Many of the inconsistencies of the
position taken by the railroads in the
Spokane rate case were emphasized
in the course of the arguments in the
case by the attorneys yesterday be-
fore five of the seven members of the
interstate commerce commission,
Commissioners Judson Clements,
Charles A. Prouty, Franklin X. Lane,
r. NJ. Cockrell and Edgar e. Clark.
Attorney w. w. Cotton for the
Hartman lines, for instance, argued
that the commission should not fur
ther reduce the rates from the east to
Spokane because those rates had al
ready been reduced to their present
level as a result of the operation Of
competition among the railroads, at
the same time arguing that the COM
mission should not reduce rates to La
Grande. Ore, because that city, hav-
ing but one road is not entitled to
lower rates.
Attorney Charles Donnelly of the
Northern Pacific, drew a doleful pic
ture of the reduction Of the earnings
of the Northern Pacific on account
of the business which is soon to be
taken from that line in western
Washington by the Hartman lines,
while the attorneys for the Hartman
lines urged their own poverty in
earnings as a reason why the COM
mission should not take any action
which might reduce its own revenues.
Try to Apply Rulc Both Ways.
Mr.. Donnelly argued Also that the
coming of additional railroads to
Spokane is an excuse for the reten-
ton of present high rates in order
that all might make a living profit,
in the face of the argument of Mr..
Cotton that the fact that certain
towns on the Hartman system are
served by but a single line should
make them content with the treat
ment the railroad accords them.
II. C Barlow, who represents the
Chicago business interests, presented
a strong argument in support Of the
proposition that distance should be a
controlling factor in fixing rates as
between that city and New York, but
did not apply the same proposition
to the western end of the haul Mr.
Donnelly supported this proposition
as to grading rates from the east, but
opposed it as regards to grading rates
in the west.
He urged. also, that rates should
encourage the Spokane merchants to
buy from Chicago or points west, be-
cause it is to the interests of the roads
to have the manufacturing done in
their own territory and be subject to
the shortest haul, but this logic was
opposed by him as applied to encour-
aging jobbing in Spokane for the
same reasons The railroad represen-
tatives generally insisted that ocean
competition is a controlling factor in
fixing existing low rates to the coast
in the face of higher rates to Spo-
kane, although admitting that water
