LONDON, March 16.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—Coronation glories, which have already caused so many rtburnings among the nobility, promise re complications in the matter of prece- nnouncement that the duch- , as the first feminine sub- e land of King Edward VII, may in the immediate wake of the )¥alties on that momentous occasion, has tered upon her the envious regard of all the British duchesses, including, of course, those wearers of tho strawberry leaves imported from over the water. Were thers & duchess of Norfolk, she would outrank ‘all others, for the proud Howards trace their descent from the Baxon Hereward and head the English peer- age. But the duke of Norfolk's wife died ffteen years ago and he has ne married. The duke of Somerset ranks next. The duchess of Somerset is not of English birth, She comes from the land of the heather and carries a soft burr in the turn of her tongue, which in no manner de- tracts from her many charms. She was Busan Margaret MecKinnon, g ot Charles McKinnon, before she assumed a corona, and one of the richest heiresses in the British isles. p The duke Is a landed @pFoprietor who counts his acres by the thousands.

Her name is familiar as a magazine contributor and her account of the beautiful Dart, known locally as the British Rhine, is accorded the best de- scription of that sllver stresm. Lacking issue, the duke of Somerset's title will pass to his brother, Percy, whose twin, Ernest, defrauded by a moment or so of the succ n, will hold only & cour- tesy title. The Qukedom, with thi t Nor- folk, is the only title of that rank that @ates back to the days of Queen Elizabeth. Constming Pride of Family. As exemplitylng the consuming pride, which has been the besetting sin of the family, it is told of Duke Charles, who lived i the relgn of Charles II, that his second wife, an earl's daughter, once tured give him a tap with her fan. ‘“Madam sald he, “my first wife was a Percy, and she never presumed to take such a 1ib- ** The second incumbent was only a e duchess, should the priority of rank be strictly followed, will have for her im- mediate assoclates as attendants on majority, the duchess of Beaufort, the @uchess of St. Albans and the duchess of Leeds.

This would bring the American @uchess of Marlborough into the coveted ition with the duchess of Sutherland, estminster and Newcastle. ‘Those nearest the queen, however, do not belleve that her punctiliousness in the mat- ter of court etiquette would permit her to put aside the rights of precedence or be led | fnto what might be interpreted as an af- front to the highest nobility at the very outset of her reign.

VIENNA, March 16.—(New York World Cablegram—8pecial Telegram.) — Father Hartman, a Tyrolese monk of the order of St. Franele and a conductor in the pope's orchestra in Rome, came to Vienna to con- duct an oratorio he had composed in honor of the founder of his order. Two years ago a young Itallan abbe, Don Perosl, conducted his own oratorio in the Vienna Music hall, and the enthusiasm of the nobility knew no bounds. 1t was considered a patriotic deed to dis- cover an Austrian who could do as much 4s the Itallan before him, and it was be- lleved that if a priest in the dress of an abbe looked Interesting in the conductor’ place, much more interesting would a monk look, with his cowl and a white rope around his waist. But this proved a mis- taken notion. Don Perosi's music was more worldly and sounded finely in the concert hall. Father Hartman's sacred music in the true sense of the word should be heard in church only, and electrie lights, applause, laurel wreaths and bowing were not in/armony with it The public was not enthusiastic, but those who know much about music and who attended the rehearsal heard lent things in “San Franciscus, full of praise for the sweet melodies, OUTSIDERS AT KING'S LEVEES Mrs. Francis H.

Mrs. Francls H. Leggett, Lady Cunard and Princess Hatafeldt all got invitations from Lord Chamberlain Clarendon, with whom they arranged the matter at a hauza party at Lady Cunard's. They doubtless will be known hereatter as members of the London 400. Mrs. Leggett, who asked to have her in- vitation to the first levee postponed to some other one because it conflicted with agements oa the Riviera, came on to London after all, with her daughter, Miss Sturges Leggett, purposely to be presented at court. They arrived in London on Thursday night in time to fit court frocks, went to the levee on Friday and returned to Cannes Baturday morning.

Instead of the instructive but dry pictures of beasts, birds and fishes, with illustrations of the various races of mankind, which hitherto have been the stock-in-trade of all peda- gogues, the school committee intends grad- ually to decorate the walls with frescoes which will be real works of art, and which will not only be jnstructive from the schoolmaster's point of view, but also will be a grand lesson to the children in art, accustoming them to look upon and admire correct and beautiful outlines. Historical soenes, beautiful landscapes copled from the best known districts of Germany, por- traits of famous men and women, will take the place of the cardboards which now hang about the rooms.

But the truth is, tew novels really are educational. “Novel reading is merely one way of in- toxicating one’s self, like oplum, whisky or wige. If we tax beer, why not fiction?

PARIS, March 15.—(New York World Cablegram — Special Telegram.) — Emile Zola's debut as a lecturer is the semsation of the hour in Paris. He was Invited to deliver a series of three lectures before an exceedingly aristoeratic woman's literary and political club. At the begin- ning he told his smart, rustling hearers that they knew nothing about literature or politics, but were simply possessed of thav surface knowledge which soclety women find useful in dally chit chat to create an {mpression of intellectual culture. Then he proceeded to demonstrate that real under- standing of literature or politics required hard work, of which such an audience as he w before him manifestly was in- ‘You pretend to be interested in these questions,” M. Zola sald, “but really you are not. Your days are freely devoted to foollsh amusement and useless actions, in- terminable tollet-making, seances with dressmakers, luncheons, dinners, pink teas, so-called literary lectur receptions, balls and theaters. You spend your time in gossip, which is stupid-when it is not wicked. “You shirk motherhood, and when you have children they are mostly entrusted to mercenary hands. “You grovel with astonishing alacrity to galn admittance Into soclal circles above your own and cannot conceal your asinlue contempt for people supposedly below your- self, “You reduce your reluctant duty of charity to paltry offerings for a few famous institutions. “This is the sort of life a soclety woman leads. What right have you to meddle in philosophy, literature and politics? “It 1s a mere accident by birth that you are not factory girls or dry goods sales- women. And were you such, can you feel certain that you would have the courage ease?" The audlence was stupified.

Some have sold their houses, farms and stock, others have given away all their possessiol The advance guard lett Wultemberg about ten days ago for the Caucasus, where the second coming is expected. There is a division of opinion among the leaders as to the exact spot where the second advent will take place, but all are united in belleving it somewhere in south Russia, and they want to be oun the spot at the time, as they belleve the end of the world will follow immediately. About 100 years ago, during the Na- poleonic wars, there was & similar move- ment, with a similar destination, in south Germany, and thousands of ignorant peas- ants emigrated to south Russia, where thelr descendants still live. {LEAPS AFTER HER LOVER Pretty Russi Nikilist Drt: Desperation by the Sulclde of Her Fi to (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.)

LONDON, March 16.—(New York World Cablegram—8pecial Telegram.)—King Ed- ward's plans have been upset all around. Although it has been reported within a few days that he has given up his projected trip to the Riviera, as wi to Ireland, it 1o also asserted that he cannot definitely de- cide about going to Cannes until he finds out what the queen will do. She has sald that she intends to ac- company him to the south of France, and her presence, on which he had not reck- oned, would spoil his personal plans, ae well as deprive his little boliday of its in- tormal character. It is still hoped that the queen may be induced to go to Copenhagen to attend the family birthday celebrations, so as to per- mit the king to enjoy himself in his own way. But the queen has developed a sud den and inexplicable preference for the Riviers. The king's visit to Ireland really was abandoned six weeke ago, when it became certain that a majority of the newly elected Dublin corporation was pledged to refuse him a civic reception, and the general politi- cal outlook forbade that public excitement consequent upon numerous political impri onments might lead to hostile demonstra- tions. But the official announcement that the visit had been abandoned was timed 80 as to appear as u retort to the demonstration of the Irish party in the House of Com- mons Monday over the mews of Methuen's defeat. The Irish members of Parllament, so far as they notice the matter at all, declare that the cancellation was for the best, as the king, toward whom they bear no per- sonal 11l will, was saved the humiliation and inconvenience in being paraded through a disaftected country under the auspices of & government hated and despised by them.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 1.—Private letters received here referring to the re- cent Moscow university meeting, confirm the view that those of the students who did not participate in the disturbances from American college boy “cane rush” motives, that is, those who have consclentious mo- tives, are actuated by political rather than academlo considerations. The departure of about 100 students who disapproved of general politics was followed by the unanimous adoption of the following resolution: “As the present abnormal situation of the higher educational institution is merely a consequence of the general absence of civil and political rights in Russia, we desire to @o away with the fllusion that ours is & purely academio struggle and to inscribe on our banner ‘General Political Demands.’ We are convinced that & normal academio life requires a total reform in the whole political system on the basis of the recog- nition of individual liberty. Without such & reform we are convinced that Russia will not make a single step forward, as her best men are periodically torn from society.

Mr. Alllson of Towa indicated that he was not quite eatisfled with the measure as it stands now and gave notice of amendments he proposed to offer to it, limiting the time of its overation and lim- iting also the amount of money annually to be pald from the treasury on account of it. He was followed by Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin, who took exception to some pro- visions of the measure. He was not at all certaln that the bill would accomplish the great results which it advocates claimed for it and he urged that before its emact- megt into law definite information upon that point ought to be fufnished to con- gress. He did not care to vote for a meas- ure for making an asvropriation which might be simply a largess to ship owners. He gave notice of an amendment which ho proposed to offer providing that the bill might be amended or repealed by congress without, however, impairing any eontract made under its provisions. This amend- ment would be & notice, he sald, that the subsidy would not be a safe foundation upon which to build largely.

Mr. Teller of Colorado then began a speech in opposition to the pending ship subsidy bill.

If ho . - fhWt such vesults would be achieved, &8 Mr. Frye belleved, be would support it. To mind, it was infinitely preferable to the gubsidy measure presented last year. Benefits 01d Lines Only. Personally he was of the opimion that it would be better to adopt the old policy of discriminating duties for the upbullding of the merchant marine. Such a policy would be preferable, in his judgment, to the plan presented by the present bill. A serlous objection to the pending bill was that it did not provide for new lines. The meney pald in subsidies, therefore, would be paid to established lines. And yet one of the professed objects of the bill was to establish new lines. In the event of a Buropean war, Mr. Tel- ler declared, the United States government would have to do what it now declined to do—allow its citizens to go to Europe to buy ships and place them under the Amer- fcan flag. Such vessels he would exclude from the coastwise trade, but he would permit them to enter the gemeral trade. The Colorado senator contended that the government ought. to permit its citizens to buy ships where they could buy them cheapest and then give them American reg- ister. The great commerce of the United States would then induce capital to go into the shipping industry. Mr. Teller read from the reports of the commission of navigation to prove that the shipbuilding industry was not languishing and in need of the assistance of bounties. Mr. Hanna sald the difference between the cost of ship construction in this country and Europe was the smallest part of the proposition. The difference in the cost of operatfon was the feature that at present made an investment in American ships un- profitable. As a4 matter of fact, Mr, Hanna sald, the shipbullding industry was not in a healthy condition. Now Alding Foreign Ships. Mr. Elkins of West Virginia, a member of the committee on commerce, supported the pending bill. He directed attention to the fact that the United States was now paylng $600,000 & day to foreign ownérs for the carrying of our commerce. If we had American ships to carry our imports and cxports $200,000,000 annually would be saved to the American people. If this money were expended among our own people at least $1,000,000 a year could be expended in American shipyards, which would extend the influence of our business men and accrue generally to the benefit of American labor. Mr. Bacon of Georgla gave motice of an amendment which he proposed to offer to the subsidy bill, providing that no contract under the bill shall be ‘binding upon the government until it shall have been sub- mitted to and approved by congre n the course of some remarks in support of the amendment, Mr. Bacon urged that the postmaster general ought not to be made responsible for the making of such con- tracts. It'was such a delegation of author- ity by congress as he did not think would be approved by the American people. Discussing briefly the general purposes of the bill, Mr. Bacon sald the word “sub- sidy” had no terror for him. He was opposed, however, to bountles, the effect of which would be to give compen- sation to those who did not need it. Mr. Bacon asserted that the subsidy would &0 to & few favored lary lass mall steam- ships which did not carry the commerce of the coun!

Mr. Allison then stated, as he said, & few objections, which he had to the subsidy as it now stood. Hs had had, he continued, dificulty in ascertalning precisely what the
