English society has turned its | pon him and people who were wild | to go to his sumptuous entertainments last season now sneer openly at him. He | is now about to quit England for a year and perhaps for good. His apology to Sir Berkeley Milne has not d the hostile members of the Marlborough Club, who have openly | avowed that Astor's slight to Sir Berke- | ley was a slight to them all. | ough the week the club commit- | been in session upon a demand stgned by 180 members of that organiza- tion to take up the slight to Sir Berkeley i with a view to expelling Astor. Only | ce of Wales' tact and good feel- ing has temporarily saved Astor. He sug- the postponement of the entire business until after the Goodwood races, | which_was done. | “Let's give this anti-Astor feeling a nce to simmer down,” he said, and of | course it was done at once at his com- | mand. Meanwhile the millionaire is practically ostracized socially. He was not invited to | the Queen's garden party this year, though in the past he has been an hon- ored guest, This means that he has fallen from high social estate, for to be the Queen’s guest is to be among the elect. It is frankly admitted at Clivedon, Astor's ndid villa on the Thames, thai he will not be a tenant this autumn, as has been His custom, but will go over to the Centi- nent for a year at least. There he may escape somewhat the social cloud under which he now finds himself. His magazine property, the Pall Mall Gazette, is in the market, too, and brokers say it can be had at a very reasonable figure—much less than the outlay already made upon it. i More honor has come to Sir Berkeley Milne in proof that royalty condemns Astor’s affront. He has been selected by | the Duke of York, as one of the six senior naval officers to represent the British | pavy at the funeral of the Duke of Saxe- Coburg. If Astor quits England for good, as many say he must, he will be in a queer position.” He will 'practically be a_man without a_country, though _with many millions. The queéstion is, What country | will he seek next? |COLLIER EXHIBITS ORDERS FROM TAYLOR! Former Adjutant General of Ken- | | tucky Testifies in the Goebel | Conspiracy Case. | GEORGETOWN, Ky..

J. an Italian, whose name does not appear to be known to the proprietor of the place, said he knew of a meeting held in that city early in May which he intended to inform the authorities of. The story he | told wa: “The Group of Existence held a meet- ing about the first of May, and after the others had departed the leaders held a long secret session. Those present were Bressi, Quintavalll, Graisoni and Al- | phonso Blandinis, Steve and Widmar, the editor of the paper issued by the group, and one or two others. These men talked over a trip which Bressi, Quintavalli, Graisoni (Lanna) and some others were to take, The meting was held to read a let- ter from Count Malatesta. There were algo letters from Genoa and Paris. Quin- | tavalli left Paterson after the meeting, | which ended early in the morning. Bressi | also left, but came back on May 12 and | collected’ his money at the silk mill. “Malatesta is the man who led in all these things. His is a great mind; the others are weak.” THE LAWS OF BELGIUM BRUSSELS, Aug. 3.—In reply to the note of the British Government expressing re- gret that the proceedings against Sipido, | the assailant of the Prince of Wales, | should have had such an utterly inade- | quate ending, the Belglan Government | says that as a strict observer of the laws | it ‘'was unable to violate them, however credibility of witnesses " placed on the | gtrong its desire to- proceed rigorously | stand by the prosecution. | against the culprit.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—Greater interest is being taken in the race for the Brighton cup to be decided to-morrow than any other stake that has been run since the Suburban. This avegt is not only the fea- ture of the day, buf of the meeting, and had Kilmarnock' and Prince of Melbourna both gone to the post the mooted question of superiority would have been settled. It is now very doubtful whether Prince of Melbourne will start, as his owner fears the long race may injure such a game, free running colt. Ethelbert, Prince McClurg and Sidney Lucas are sure starters, however, and the doubtful ones are Imp. ince of Melbourne and Herbert. Ethelbert will find 12¢ pounds quite a load over this long, trying route and a good 3-year-old at this season of the year has a considerable advantage. Sidney Lucas may be expected to run a great race, even if he showed badly in the Glencove handicap, which was only a mile. _—— £ RED COAT WINS.
