DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CON,
NAUGHT ARE GUESTS OF
AMBASSADOR REID.
MANY SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
Mrs. Ogden Mills to Entertain.-Party
Will Return to Canada on Thurs
day.-Their Visit Is In
formal.

New York, n. Y.-The arrival
here today of the Duke and Duchess Of
Connaught and their daughter, Prin-
cess Patricia, marked the first visit
of British royalty to New York city
since so years ago, when the Prince OF
Wales, later King Edward VII, tray
eled from New York to the Far West,
where he hunted the buffalo. The
leaders Of society here have prepared
to extend a welcome betting the royal
visitors.
Whitelaw Reid, ambassador to the
court of st. James, with Mrs. Reid,
will act as host of the ducal party.
The party will remain at the Reds
until Thursday afternoon.
The program is not altogether a so
cial one, as the royal visitors desire to
The Mobridge news. [volume] (Mobridge, Walworth Co., S.D.) 190?-1917, 1912-01-26

avoid the round of public functions
which an official visit would make nee
essary.
The program as at present arranged
includes: The Reds give a luncheon
at their home with the visitors and
several New York friends as guests;
sightseeing tours about the city; an
informal dinner at the Reid home,
with Cardinal Farley one of the
guests; a formal dinner at the Reds
with several hundred New York So
ciety leaders invited to meet the royal
guests, followed by a dance; dinner
and a musicale at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ogden Mills (Mr. Mills is a
brother Of Mrs. Reid; departure for
Ottawa.
In none of the arrangements has
any particular reference been made to
the entertainment of Princess Patricia.
She is the first princess of the royal
blood of England ever to set foot on
the soil of the United States. She is
pretty and as democratic a girl as is
found in the royal rank in Europe. She
was the favorite niece of the late King
Edward. She is an accomplished
horsewOman, and has shot big game in
Africa. 1t is said that she once re-
fused the proffered hand of King AL
fonso of Spain. She has a number of
acquaintance in New York and it is
expected hat during her stay here she
will visit several of them.
The ducal party came from Ottawa
on the car Cornwall and York, in
which the present king of England
travelled through Canada as the Duke
of York several years ago. This car
is one of the most magnificent ever
built.
The royal travellers were attended
by Lieutenant Colonel Lowther, mill
tary secretary; Captain R~ivers-Bulke-
ley, aide-de-camp, the comptroller Of
the household; Miss Pelley, lady in
waiting, and several servants.
The visit is to be strictly informal
and there will be no official ~recogni-
ton or IL on the part of the American
authorities. &c is the outcome of a
promise made by the duke to Ambas-
sador Reid some time age

to Jehol, although they did not sug-
gest an alternative. There was o n
siderable effervescence in Pekin
throughout the day among both for
eign residents and the Chinese. There
were many rumors of the possibility
Of a Manchu outbreak, which, how
ever, appears unlikely at present.
= The %ex-regent, Prince Chun, and the
former premier, Prince Ching, visited
Premier Yuan Shi Kai and had a long
conference with him. 1t appears the
court has not produced the gold it
promised to provide and the imperial
soldiers do o show any anxiety to
fight for glory.
Premier Yuan Shi Kai was invited
several times to participate in the con
ference of the princes but he stead
tasty refused as he desired to leave
the decision entirely to the court.
The situation continues tense. 1t
seems impossible hat Pekin can es-
cape eventually a Manchu outbreak.
Soldiers belonging to the imperial
body guard openly distributed leaflets
summoning the people to defend the
constitutional monarchy unto death,
but it is unlikely that any persons ex-
cept the Manchus will fight for the
monarchy.
1t is currently reported that the
irreconcilable prince Tsai Tao, brother
Of the %ex-regent, is melting the Man
chu troops to cause the trouble.

BANKER MORSE
FIFTEEN YEAR SENTENCE is

Washington, d. c. - President

the 15-year sentence for violation Of
the national banking laws under which
Charles w. Morse, the New York
banker and ice king, served two years
in the federal prison at Atlanta. The
Communication of sentence, which gives
Morse his complete freedom, but
which, unlike n pardon, does not re-
store his civil rights, was granted
upon recommendation of Attorney
General Wickersham and Surgeon
General Torney, u. S. A. According
to the surgeon generals report to the
president, Morse could not live one
month longer in confinement and even
at liberty probably would not live six
months.
Efforts made for a complete pardon
were unavailing and under the law
Morse could not be paroled until ne
had served five years. Under the
