London, May 2s.-(Special.)- Now that
the country has settled down in a meas
ure from the grief attending the sudden
death of the late King Edward. the polit-
ical situation Is again attracting atten-
ton. In best informed circles 1t is be-
lieved that the changes in the situation
due to the death of King Edward will
result in the present government holding
office until late in the fall If not until
the first of the year. 1t may be that
some basis of compromise will be reached
which will make dissolution unnecessary
for some time to come. 1t is hard though
reached.
The government cannot recede from its
position on the lords veto and continue
to hold office. Not only would the irish
and labor parties rebel but the bulk of
the liberals themselves would refuse to
follow their leaders in any recession od
this point sa-..s.-
king may be able to exert influence
enough on the house of lords to induce
the peers to accept the inevitable SO far
as the veto is concerned with the gov
eminent making concessions along other
lines
There seems to be a general disposition
however, not to force matters for a while

In recent letter Rider Haggard pointed
out one reason why neither party is anx-
ious to force another general election I'M
til it becomes absolutely necessary. He
figures that the cost of contesting \
county division is something like $4,000.
And this figure Is reached In expenses
permitted under the law. And there are
between 500 and 600 contested seats. the
cost of general election to candidates
and parties is something appalling; and
not to be brought on lightly,
A number of Americans will exhibit at
the royal horse show to be held June IT.

death of King Edward would lead to the
calling off of the show. but King George
indicated his desire 1t should be held.
Judge w. f. Moore, already so widely
known on this side of the Atlantic for
his famous stud, and whose horses will be
in competition, is presenting a valuable
trophy for high jumping. while Mr.. c.
W. Watson and Mr.. Alfred Vanderbilt,
are also giving prizes, the last named Il
pair of handsome silver vases designed
by himself.
One of the most interesting exhibits
will be Walter Winan's Chantecler and
Eros, two new carriage horses Mr.. WI
nan has bred by crossing the American
trotter with the hackney in order to get
an improvement on each for ordinary
carriage work in town and country. The
hackney is slow in these days of automo
biles. but Eross and Chantecler are capa-
Bile of exceeding the speed limit, twenty
miles an hour. and are handsomer in
appearance than their parents.
The American trotter, Mr.. Winan says
is little too light to work well in a vic
toria or brougham and does not step high
enough, while the hackney is, as rule,
short necked coarse headed and lack
ing in quality, besides being painfully
slow The cross between the two com
bnes the beauty, quality and courage OF
the American trotter with the strength
and action of ethe hackney. Chantecler
is by Sir Walter Gilbey's hackney. Brave
Member. out of Mr. Winans' Lady Bril-
liant, a George Wilkes standard bred
American trotter.
Eros is bay gelding by His Majesty,
the hackney who was sire to the world 4
champion Forest King. out of Lady
Beechwood. Eros, Mr.. Winan claims, is
the handsomest horse he has ever bred.
