DESCENDANTS OF POETS.
Men With Historic Names Will
Meet at Banquet.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON. February "a. 1910
The Forthcoming dinner to the descend
ants of poets. among other things, will
provide some idea of how many of the
great singers have any descendants liv-
ing. The promoters of the undertake
ing are hopeful that they will secure a
descendant of Chaucer. and John Foun-
tain has written that he comes of the
line Of Edmund Spenser. A Will Shake
speare has been found who claims de-
scent not from the poet himself, but
from his grandfather, and, though not
In a direct line. he will probably be adj
mitted to the banquet.
It is expected, also, that one or two
descendants of John Milton will be dis
covered. Hugh Dryden announces that
he is In direct lineage from the poet.
There are two of Burns descendants
living in British Columbia. James Glen
cairn Thomson and Robert Burns
Hutchinson. but 1t is not certain that
they will be able to come to the BAN
quet.
With regard to more recent poets there
is little difficulty. Wordsworth has at
least two descendants. and Coleridge one,
and. of course, the sons of Tennyson
and Browning survive. The Earl of
Crewe. himself poet and the son of a
poet. Lord Houghton. Is to preside at the
dinner.

VISIT OF PRINCE HENRY.
Energetic Sailorman Finds Dizziness
Of German Capital Tiresome.
of The Star

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON. February -, 1910.
Prince Henry of Prussia's visit to Eng
land has started a whole army Of re-
ports of big results to follow. There Is
good ground for stating, however, that
the visit is a purely personal affair. The
prince no longer exercises an active COM
mand, and as Berlin is rather a d1,ll
place for man OF his temperament he
gladly accepted an invitation from his
brother-in-law. Prince Louis of Batten-
berg, to come over, though, of course, he
Is also the guest of his uncle, the king.
Both princes are exceedingly keen sail
ors. though perhaps Prince Louis is the
more accomplished of the two 1t il not
generally known that the initials "I, A.
B." attached to the title page of the re-
Gently published account of Russia 8
naval disasters In her war with Japan
are those of the princely commander of
the British Atlantic fleet.
Though Prince Henrys visit Is of a
purely personal kind, it is as little to be
doubted that the naval ornaments of
Germany will engage his conversation
with those in authority. More than that
is not looked for. but IL more should ac-
tually result, the liberal government
would be delighted. for an Anglo German
understanding would rob the next cleo
ton OF some of the baleful results of the
appeal to anti-German sentiment so
freely used by the conservatives at the
last election.

The Safest Investments

there has been a constant outcry in re-
cent years that economy was being prac-
ticed with such rigorous hand that the
navy yards at those stations were almost
useless. 1t is admitted that nearly every
one of the outlying naval stations is
very short of stores and equipments of
every description, SO that rather a serious
situation would arise in case of an emer-
gency.
Lord Fisher will subsequently report to
the committee of imperial defense and
will advise upon what lines reform and
reorganization are necessary.

Was in Time.

When she reached the White House
Mrs. Sanders was turned over to one
of the secretaries. who took charge of
her letter of protest. She went on to
the Court of Claims. and found that the
expected decision had been held up for
the time being, which much encouraged
her.
Mrs Sanders is opposed to the pro-
posed per capita distribution to all the
members of the Cherokee nation and
all of their descendants. She holds
that only the heirs of the original
Cherokees should receive share of the
property. and that the children and
grandchildren of these heirs should not
be counted in the distribution. She
says that under the distribution pro-
posed by the Court of Claims there will
be some $1,000 persons who will share
in the division. If her plan is followed,
she says, not more than 1000 will share
in it.

Common Carriers Position.

II was furthermore implied in the
railroad reports of earnings that the COM
mon carriers were in a pretty good posi-
ton to take advantage of such improve
ment as the investment demand for new
securities might reveal at the present
time.
The day money market was chiefly
OF interest because of the fact that the
heavy March interest and dividend dis
bursements were but slightly reflected in
the call loan rates and because of the in
creasing strength shown in the foreign
exchange market.
