It is intimated that Joseph Chamberlain may be transierred irom the Colonial to the War Office, his place being given as & sop to the Marquis of Londonderry, whose “‘kicking”” qualities | are not appreciated by the Ministry. | Lieutenant K.

The interview was ami- Colonel and Mrs. Hay proceeded to Wind- sor, where they received special marks of attention.

A snausbotof tue family group whi the Czar and Czarina were at Darmstad1, showing Emperor William with hisarm resting affectionately 6n the Czar's shou!- der, furnished a German photographer with a picture which 1s selling freely. The Berlin photozrapher has skillfully de- tached the German Emperor and the Czar from their sarroundings and has made 1t appear that ihe iwo autocrats were photograp):ed alone, after purposely assuming a friendly pose.

Lord Charles Berestord was the guest of 1he evening, and hé created a sensation by his plain epeaking on social ques- tions. ‘‘Money,” he declared, ‘1s now every- thing among u«. Any vulgarian of what- ever nationality, wheth=r he has giined money lLionorably or disgracefully, could find his way among those who are descrived ss ‘the best and proudest in the land,’ but who worship the golden calf.’’ Continuing Lord Beresford said: *‘Our old empire will soon be going down grade when a man in the so-called best society commits a dishonorable act and society bands together to screen him instead of hanging uim to the first tree.” The popular rear-admiral also urged a return to the old “love of chivalry and patriotism, the abhorrence of everything serdid and selfish,” The Vagabonds were at first aghast at this plain speaking, bus the subsequent The National Liberal Federation, at its annual meeling at Derby on Tuesday iust, constructed a new platform, which, it is hoped, will be broad euongh'to hold all the factions. It inciutes avolition of the peers, right of veto, woman suffrige, the payment of tne members of the House of Commons, the enfranchisement of pau- pers and tue defrayving of election ex- penses from pubiic funds. John Moreley has “kicked” at the plat. form. He says he has ‘“‘doffed his coat and waitcoat in behslf of home rule’’ and cannot spare any more apparel for the purpose of fighting for the abolition of the Hou-e of Lords, while itis easy to imagine the feelings of Sir William Ver- non Harcourt, who has so consistently voted against wo uffrage. Sir Wilired Lawson will argue against the dropping of the “local veto"” plank, and the Irish are annoyed at the fact that the platform contains no mention of home rule.
