(Copyright, 10OO, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Nov. 30. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Tho suit for divorce brought by tho beautiful young marchioness of Anglesey ngnlnit her hus band, Henry Cyril Paget, fifth marquis of Anglesey, was foreseen here, since within a month after tholr marrlago they sepa rated ou tho Riviera. Tho marquis has sluco devoted himself to his favorite pas time of skirt dancing and last year ho ap peared at a music hall in Munich lit Imita tion of Lole Fuller's dances. The marquis of Anglesey Is tho head of tho famous l'aget family and Is a cousin of, Almerlc Hugh Paget, con-ln-law of William C. Whitney of New York, and of Sydney and Arthur Paget. Ho Is only 25 years old and suc ceeded to bis title on the death of his father, two yearH ago. lie Is a thor oughly offctutnnto looking young follow and ho may be seen when in Paris walking around with n toy terrier under his arm, tho pet being heavily scented and bediz ened with bangles and bows. Tho ringers of the marquis fairly blazo with rings. lie presents the characteristics of tho Oypsy type. Two years ago tho marquis of Anglesey, then enrl of Uxbrldgo, married the beauti ful Miss Chejwyud, daughter of Sir (leorge Chetwynd, tho marchioness of Hastings. Sho Is only CO years old, of beautiful and refined features, with violet oyes and masses of Venetian red hair. Her expres sion Is sad nnd wistful. Tho young marchioness went to Paris after she sepa rated from tha marquis In tho honeymoon. Her huslHind made her a handsome allow ance, n $00,000 Income. Iluforo marriage Anglesey presented her with $350,000 worth of Jewels. She Is said to havo strong religious leanings. Vlalteil In Amcrlcu Onor. Just after the marquis of Anglesoy camo into his title by the doath of his father, In 1S93, ho paid a visit to America. He was the guest of his cousin, Almorlo Paget. When ho depnrted for England ho took away a French bulldog and in soma way violated tho regulations governing tho Im portation of dogs, for which he wa3 lined 100. While In Now York City ho attende'd the horso show of 1S98 with Mr. and Mrs. Almerlc Paget. Wheu ho married Mlas Chetwynd ho was congratulated. Tho separation was a nlno days' wonder. It was said at the tlmo that bo m a do the financial terms of tho separa tion of such a nature that It would bo an Inducement for his wife to remain away from him, as each succeeding year's allow ance was an increase over that of the previous, year. Tho marquis Is descended from nu eccentric family. His mother, who was u beautiful woman, was bo unhappy with her husband that sho committed suicide. Sho was the charming Hlancho Mary Boyd, His father married In 1&S0 tho widow of Henry Wodehouse, who was born Mary Livingston King of Georgia. He had promised to wed another American woman, the divorced wife of William Wetmoro of Nrjv York City, who afterwards polioned horself, The Anglesey tltlo was won by Lord Uxbrldgo on the Held of Waterloo. From the sccno of war to the scenes of tho stage Is the descent of the title. As a Hehtnlng chRngo artist In Munich tho present marquis appeared at first In costume characteristic of different nations. Ills talent tn making up Is said to be marvelous, With an Income of $1,000,000 a year, he was not particular about his salary, so long as he could Indulge In his strange, wild freak.

When ho married nud settled down his past sins rose before htm. One day thcro was a light fire In the Anglesey's castle, Plas Newydd, and n lot of hand grenades were ordered to guard against future emergencies. The butler hung up tho grenades in every placo ho could think of and having n dozen left npproached the marquis, saying: "What shall I do with these?" The marquis thought u moment nnd then said radly: "You may put them In my codln." Honsatlonal testimony Is expected at the trial of the dlvoreo suit brought by tho present mnrchloness of Anglesoy ngalnBt her husband, who Is her cousin as well. It Is said that the marrlago was ono of convenience for tho purpose of Inheriting property which could not bo reached by either singly.

MAY REDUCE WAR TAXES AVn nnd Menu Committee tn Con sider .Mutter In CiiticitH With in ii Miort Time. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. Representative I'ayno of New York, chairman of the ways and means committee of tho house, had a conference with the president yesterday. Mr. I'ayno said after leaving tho White House that he would call a meeting of the republican members of his committee for November 20 to outline a partial program for executive work lit tho house for tho ap proaching session. Ono of tho nutters to como before this meeting will bo tho proposed reduction of war revenue taxes. He did not think, how ever, that tho reduction would exceed, $ir, 000,000, or less than one-fifth nf the pres ent revenues from that pouroc. Much, he thought, would depend on the. state of af fairs In tho Philippines when the bill camo up for consideration, lf a considerable nrmy had to be mnlntnlned there for any length of time It might be thought wise not to cut down tho revenues too much. There were, howover, a number nf Items In tho present law that might be wisely eliminated nnd these would receive attention. Mr. I'ayno said ho thought the ship subsidy bill would bet taken up nnd nn effort made to pass It nt tho coming session. Amerlenn inl In 1'ieneli Nnty. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.

As n means of testing tho American coal, Lieu tenent du Furrnmnnd shipped 300 tous tu Martinique and about 700 tons to the French naval slat ion at New Fouudland. The erulsir Coiillo, now In American waters, took on n supply of tho American coal, and has found II very satisfactory. The tests on tho Sfnx havo not been as satisfactory, although this is attributed to tho construction of tho French grates, which aro mndn to accommodate tho largo briquettes. Tho result of tho shipments to New Foundlnnd has not been reported. On tho whole.
