FRIDAY. JUNE q. 1871
England's King.

With all the glory that money could
command, with all the solemnity that
attaches to centuries of tradition and
usage. with all the happiness that goes
with patriotic demonstration, George V
has been crowned as the ruler of the
British dominion.
The throne upon which the King has
been seated is the oldest among the
nations of to-day and rests upon a
secure foundation 1t is true, however,
that il is more of a symbol than a
reality England, as some have truly
said, is a 'veiled republic" In mat
ters relating to the government of the
kingdom, the monarch is little more
than a fgurehead. The House of Com
mons legislates for the people, and the
rising tide of democracy may soon
sweep away the House of Lords, the
relic of feudal past. The King acts
and speaks only upon the advice of his
ministers, and these are the representa-
tives of the peopk The crown which
was yesterday. placed upon his royal
brow signifies trAlt he is the titular head
of the kingdom, but the reins of gov
ernment are in other hands.
In the relations of Great Britain with
other nations, however, the King has a
real sphere of usefulness and power.
Edward VII did much toward strength
ening the alliances between England
and France and Russia. In addition
TO this. King George is the real ruler
of the Indian empire and of the over
sea dominions. In his person is typifed
the glory and the strength of the Brit
ish empire. Not only is he the one
conspicuous object upon whom centers
the interest and affection of millions
of British subjects, but the development
of the empire may be aided or retarded
by his personality. If he is wise and
statesmanlike, as is almost certain to
be the case, his judgment and his acts
will invest his reign with glory beside
which the display of yesterday will ap-
pear cheap and meretricious.
Democratic England crowns its King
and Queen because it is still a mon-
archy, and because the traditions of a
thousand years must be obeyed. Supe-
rior to these traditions, however, are the
people, and in their hands lies the future
destiny of the nation.

FESTIVITIES FOR TOGO.
House Will Appropriate 100000 for
Naval HerO's welcome.

House Will Appropriate 100000 for
Naval HerO's welcome.
The Appropriations Committee Of the
House at a meeting yesterday unami-
mously decided to recommend to the
House that $4,000 be appropriated to de-
fray the expense of entertaining Ad-
miraI Togo, the Japanese naval hero,
who has been invited to pay an official
visit to this country following the corona
ton exercises in London Admiral Togo
is accredited as the special representa-
tive Of his government to the corona
ton.
The contemplated visit of the distin-
Guished Japanese naval officer, who,
according to critics, ranks with Nelson,
Perry, Farragut. and others on the roll
of honor as a naval genius, was ar
ranged after diplomatic exchanges be-
tween the Japanese foreign office in
Tokyo and the State Department here
in Washington. This government was
asked II visit from Admiral Togo, i'm
mediately after the coronation in London,
would be acceptable and convenient to
this government, and the reply went
back that this government would be
delighted
Plans are now being made for Ad-
miral Togo's reception in Washington
and for an elaborate programme of
entertainment. He will be received at
the White House, where a formal dinner
will be given in his honor, and will be
the guest at many other official functions
In Washington and elsewhere.
In the event that the formal request
from the State Department for the $10,-
900 appropriation to defray the enter
tainment expenses is received at the
House by Saturday, as It undoubtedly
will be, it is the plan to put through the
necessary resolution Immediately.

CHAMP CLARK's VIEWS.

IF the Senate wants to get
down to business, 1 am willing
to remain here until the first
Monday in December. It looks
to me as though the Democrats
and insurgents in the Senate are
prepared to get busy. II they
want tariff again they can have
plenty OF It.
THE situation in Congress to-
day is mighty interesting. ard I
am convinced that in the present
frame of mind OF many Republi-
cans. in both the House and the
Senate, it will not be difficult to
make a pretty general revision OF
the tariff. The sooner It comes
the better I will like it."-State-
ment OF Speaker Champ Clark.

WHEN ENGLAND WAS INVADED
The Real Facts Concerning the Last
Battle on British Soil.


Editor The Washington Herald:
In his interesting Curious Bits of His
tory" appearing in The Washington
Herald, Mr.. A. w. Macy yesterday said
this:
No battle has been fought on British soil that fs
in Great Britain proper for considerably more than
century and half. The last one was at Culloden
Moor. four miles from Inverness in Scotland .
on April 2, 7S, when the young pretender' Of
the house Of Stuart was badly defeated.
On the contrary, the honor is Amer
ica's. for the last battle fought IN Great
Britain was by John Paul Jones. the
father and founder of the American
navy. 1t was at Whitehaven, on April
Q, 177s
John Paul Jones in command, with
three officers and twenty-nine seamen,
landed. took two small forts, spiked their
guns. drove on the garrison of coast
guards" destroyed one ship in harbor,
fired others, and after a lively engage
ment with about 100 local militiamen, re-
turned to the Ranger. with loss of one
man captured, who afterward escaped
1t was the first time in over O hundred
years that foreign foe had set foot on the
sacred soil of Britain, and It was the
last. Small as II seems, it was fraught
with momentous consequences. OF that
let Jones tell us himself. He modestly
says:
Its actual results Of little moment for the In
tended destruction Of shipping was limited to one
vessel But the moral effect Of 1T was very great
It taught the English that the fancied security
Of their coasts was a myth, and thereby compelled
their government to take expensive measures for the
defense Of numerous ports hitherto relying for pro
tscti0n wholly the vigilance and supposed omnipo-
tencs Of their navy. II also doubled o. more the
rates Of tnsiance which in the long run proved the
most gTfevous damage Of all.
Thus was Whitehaven. and not Culloden
Moor, the last battle, as well as last in
vasion, OF Great Britain proper by for
eign foe ANDREW JORDAN GREEN.

LoRIMER DIRECTS COUNSEL.
No New Testimony Developed by
Senatorial Investigation.

No New Testimony Developed by
Senatorial Investigation.
Two witnesses were heard yesterday by
the Senate committee investigating the
alleged use of money TO elect Senator
Lorimer, of Illinois. They were George
w. Hinman, editor and publisher of the
Chicago Inter Ocean, and Richard Yates,
who was governor of Illinois from 1901
nearly five hours, practically no new
testimony was developed.
Mr.. Hinman admitted that he had heard
Of the existence of a jackpot fund at
Springfield, but he had no exact knowl-
edge regarding its operation. He said
this information came to him from COM
mon report and from his legislative cor
respondents there. He added, however,
that he did not believe the jackpot fund
had been used to elect Senator Lorimer
Gov. Yates denied having any informa-
ton about the case additional to what
had already been made public
Throughout the session, Senator Lori
mer occupied seat directly back of
the table reserved for Judge Eldridge
Hanecy his counsel, and the Senator
often leaned forward and whispered sug-
gestions to his counsel.

bezzlement as a result of his failure TO
deliver certain evidence for which he
was supposed to have been paid by a
Chicago newspaper, is expected in Wash
