LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The King is
again in London after the only yaca-
ton he has taken since his accession.
The royal party came directly to Lon
don from Balmoral, where the last
weeks of the vacation have been
spent
After strenuous season, which in
icluded the coronation and the long
ist of succeeding festivities, the King
and Queen left town at the end of
July. Cowes week commenced the
vacation, and between races the King
and the Prince of Wales enjoyed bath
ling from a steam pinnace in Osborn
Bay until the Prince had to leave to
Join his ship, the Hindustan, on board
which he started active service afoat
as midshipman.
With the breaking up of the royal
party on board the Victoria and AL
bert, the King and Queen returned to
town for day, and after bidding
oodby to Queen Alexandria, the King
went as the guest of Lord and Lady
IRipon to studley Royal for the open
ing of the shooting season.
After his shooting visits, the kim
took UP his residence at Balmoral
Castle, where the Queen and royal
children had preceded him, and the
succeeding weeks were spent in en-
tertaining distinguished guests and
with shooting parties on the Balmo-
raj estates.
The Kings resumption of residence
at Buckingham Palace was marked by
a reception to the envoy of the Por-
uguese republic, recently recognized
by England. Until his departure for
India for the Durbar the King viii
kept so busy that 1t is hardly like
Ily that he will get another extended
vocation before next fall.
The Liberals are out for Kerr Har-
dies scalp. The uncompromising So
cialist has been going up and down
the country condemninG the govern
ment, particularly for its action in
calling out the troops at the time Of
the railroad strike. MI. Lloyd-George
took the lead when he gave Mr.. Har-
die a dressing down in the House Of
Commons, which however made the
Socialist leader bitterer than ever and
his attacks have been so severe that
even the labor leaders have had to
'irepudiate them. The Liberal revenge
is to take the form OF opposing the
reelection of Mr.. Hardie for Merthyr-
Tydyil. Hardie is a Scotchman, and
has not been able to manage the
Language of Wales. To most OF his
constituents Welsh is their native
tongue. The Liberal campaign agains:
Mr.. Hardie is therefore to be carried
on in Welsh, which the chancellor
Of the exchequer and most Of the
Liberal leaders of Wales can talk as
we'll as they can English and it gem
orally caFries Welsh audience.
Whether it will wean the Welsh min
ers from their socialist!c member re-
mains to be seen.

Although they have not yet reached
the size of the newest American
battleships, the ships of the British
preadnought feet continue to grow
as the fleet increases in number. The
ships of the King George V. class,
four in number. the first of which
has Just been launched, are put down
in some of the books of reference as
Of $4,000 tons anlain others at $4,000
tons, compared with the $4,000 tons OF
the wyoming and Arkansas. And
this seems to be decided upon as tho
limit for the present by the British
Admiralty. At least telders have JUS.
