Special Cable to The Tribune.
LONDON, June 4,-When parliament
meets next week we will be able to size
up the political situation as it has been
left by the death Of King Edward and
the accession of King George.
At present to all, except those on the
inside, the situation appears pretty
mixed There is q good deal of talk of
IL compromise but this comes mostly
from, tho opposition, and I am inclined
/ have yet to talk with q liberal OF In
fluence who believes there will be the
slightest drawing back 30 far as the
| cleavage is SO clearly drawn that to the
liberal mind there is no possible ground
| for compromise.
The only real question seems to be
as to how much time the government will
allow for things to settle down before
| forcing the Issue,
King George is thoroughly posted on
the situation.
Feature Recent Debate.
Ono OF the features Of the recent de-
| bates in the house of commons was the
| regularity with which the new king at
tended. and the close attention with
which he followed, the various speeches.

The government OF that dominion wants

Body which has been arranging TO send
out large patches OF men who cannot find
work in London, and who presumably
would be unsuited for farm labor. Strong
representations have been made without

Pathos in Story.
There is fl world of pathos in the story
Of Francis Harding, London clerk who |
UlcI and was buried dI sea lccfnUN.
Harding, being out Of work. left his fam
lily in London. Although weak and III as
the result OF long privation. he yolun-
teercd to work as stokcr on a White 4
States, where he had heard there was l
work to be obtained. Ilis strength failed
him. as might have been expected, and
ne died before he could set his foot on
the new land and his wife and children
were left bereavcd and destitute
His body had not been committed to
scngers and officers of the ship turned
with sympathy 10 the unknown family. /
and in a few minutes $1,000 had been sub
scrihcd 10 help them In their trouble
Played Many Instruments.
II Is often stated that DR.. Hans Rich
tor who recently died here, was on play
ing acquaintance with every instrument
in the orchestra. Although this is prob
ably an cXaggeraticn, DR.. Richter GER
tainly did know how every instrument
His own favorivc instrument was the
horn but he was also an excellent pi-'
anist; as "A matter of fact. at the age OF
10 no was exploited in that capacity as
n prodigy, OF tho instruments Or.
Richter has been known to play at re-
hoarsals. the oboe. the bassoon, and the
trumpet may be mentioned; and ut lenst
on two occasions he has been known 10
manipulate tho double bass and the ket-
tle-drumS.
Equally versatile was DR.. Richter as
II singer. An old schooltcllow OF his has
told how the Vienna conserv vatorium once
performed "A mass in the Church of In
valdes
The singing WAS somewhat feeble. and
Richter joined I'm. now helping the ten
ors. now the bassOs. and at Intervals
helDng even The sopranos over some
difficult passage.
Children Drink Alcohol
+. G.. Mackcrc,h declared al u recent
meeting of tho Womcns Total Abstinence
union. at NauXhall. that there must bc,
according TO his calculations, about two
million children who drank alcohol.
In school alone. he said. il was
found that 40 per cent Of the children
drank alcohol regularly. II the same pro I
portion obtained all around there must
he some 100000 child drinkers In London. !
This an enormous danger TO The ma I
tional life. Z
