LONDON. oct. 15.-(Special TO The Bee)-
As time progresses It becomes clearer that
the Osborne judgment in the house Of
lords will be the dominant issue I'm politics
here. Trades and labor unionists say they
will push IL TO the front and have It de-
cided once and for all that an English
man can spend his money as he chooses.
The Osborne Judgment, as is we'll known,
prevents members Of unions, as a body
from paying I shilling a year for the sup
port of the labor members OF parliament
At the formal opening of new premises
OF the Amalgamated Society Of Railway
Servants in Euston Road Sidney Webb,
who performed the ceremony, referred to
the Judgment. observing that although
the house OF lords was supreme in regard
to declaring what tho law was, they we're
Of no account whatever when tile matter
had to be considered what the law should
be- A national congress to consider the
matter will be held.
Hotel Property siumps.
Two startling examples Of the slump
that has overtaken hotel properly have
just been furnished At Tokenhouse yard
the Royal Albion hotel. Hastings, wan Of
fered for sale by order Of the mortgages.
The hotel is a big establishment on the
at a ground rent Of GOO las a year; but
the best bid that could be secured for
the free lease and possession OF the hotel
was no more than ESQ., for which IL went.
In the second case the Shakespeare hotel.
neutrality-suspicious.. was offered for sale
by auction. It is one OF the finest speci-
mems OF Elizabethian architecture. For the
last two hundred years Il has been a
hotel largely patronized by Americap and
European visitors. But the auctioneer
could not get one bid
Veterans of Crimea Meet.
There was an interesting meeting be-
tween Crimean veterans at Great Brington
a few days ago when the duke Of Graf
ton, who will be 30 years old next June.
paid a birthday visit to David Waller,
who has just attained the same age. Both
fought In the Crimea, and Waller remem-
bers seeing the duke carried from the field
wounded The duke gave him a photo
graph Of himself, and the duchess sent hin,
an engraved pipe.
Yankee Invasion Causes Worry,
Land owners are worried over a report
that a number OF Americans have selected
the lovely riverside village OF Sonnlng for
the scene OF extensive building operations
E. e., it's conversion into a garden city The
erection OF number OF picturesque dwell
ings might not spoil this charming spot on
the Thames, but Il is to be feared that the
American idea would result IN the building
of houses in nondescript style. The Amer
lean house seems 20 be unsuited to the
English landscape. SOnning is a lovely vii
lage with old red roofs nesting under fine
trees. les history goes back to Saxon days
and there was once a palace of the bishop
OF Sarum at SOnning the site being marked
by an old ash tree. The church, which
dates from the thirteenth century has a
grand tower and contains ancient monu-
ments, tombs and brasses.
Bishop Against Divorce.
The bishop OF Carlisle spoke emphaticaity
on the serious problems raised by the di-
vorce commission at the Carlisle confer
ence recently. THE habit OF calling black
things by white names and wicked th,ugs
by soft soubriquets is responsible for ,ucr

day" he said. "All manner OF confusion
fills the air regarding the marriage ques-
ton, but this truth shines forth clear Nc
real Christian can doubt that Christian
marriage Is the most sacred br all earthly
bonds. Il is the only sure foundation OF
family l.fe and our bounden duty therefor,
Is to set forth the Wickedness OF under,

Whatever else may be said about mar
riage, It is a vow deliberately made in IN,
house Of God and a breach OF that vow
therefore IS a treacherous dishonor per
jury and an abominable falsehood anC
everyone who commits that breach Shout,
be treated with the scorn and ostracisu
due to wanton dishonor"
MnrcOni's Latest Exploit.
A "marconigTam" from the Principess.
Mafalda states that Mr.. Maroon, who b
on board, was successful In obtaining wire
less messages from the Chfden. Ireland
and Glace Bay. Canada, stations up to
distance OF $500 miles in broad daylight.
This distance easily beats an records To-
wireless messages on shipboard in the day
line the previous best being 1850 miles

greater distances BY night than by day

attributed this to the absorption OF tn
