fc\ LONDON , May 25. To the delight ot cvcrj
body except the undertakers and klndrc
professions , London had a return of fln
weather this week and the great mctropol
is overflowing with American tourlcts , wli
nro occupying the best rooms at the hole
and making things Interesting and lively I
the fashionable shopping districts.
Much attention has been attracted to tl :
early party of distinguished Americans whlc
has been occupying the best apartments i
the aristocratic Hotel Bristol since Saturdn
last. Its members consist of Mr. W. C. Whl
noy , formerly tccrctary of the United Stati
navy ; Miss Whitney anl Mrs. Southgato ; Mr
W. K. VanJorbllt , accompanied by her son ar
daughter ; Mr. Pierre Jay , Mr. and Mrs. Oi
den Goelet and ex-Mayor Hewitt of No
York. The baggage ot this party filled tl
hotel lobby and corridors and the arrival
the Americans was the signal for the I
vaslon of their apartments by a small army
dressmakers , tailors and shopmen , who h :
been lying In wait for the travelers. Tl
Goclets have been deluged with Invltalloi
to various aristocratic gatherings , and the
presence here , as well as the warm mann
In which they have been received , has causi
n renewal of the circulation ot the rumo
that there Is a possibility of the Prlnco
Wales accompanying them to the Unit
States In order to bo present at the races f
the America's cup next September. It
impossible to get at the truth of this matt
at proient , but tho-o who noticed the prince
partiality for the company of Mr. and Mi
Gcelet during the yachting season on t
Mediterranean , when the prince was th (
guest on board tfco Whyto Ladye , would r
b8 astonished If the report turns out to
correct. On the other hand , sober-mind
persons claim that the state of health
Queen Victoria Is such as to preclude a
possibility of the heir apparent being allow
to wander eo far away from home. 11
strange things have happened and the prln
Is known to hate a will of his .own. Qiu
tlons on the subject have been put to $
< s Goolet , but ho maintains a discreet sllem
neither denying nor confirming the storl
afloat. It Is known , however , that ho a
his famllv nro going back to the United Stal
shortly and will remain there for the Ami
lea's cup races.
IN THE AMERICAN CIRCLES.
Among the persona who called upon S
Whitney on Tuesday last was Mr. Rlcht
Crokor of New York , the ex-Tammany load
Mr. Crokcr had a long Interview with t
ex-secretary , on * it has caused much gos :
among the Americans here who have ki
themselves In touch with Now York st
politico , as well as with national affairs. 1
subject of the conversation between Mess
Whitney and Crokcr Is not known , 1
naturally there are people who claim t
names of the possible presidential Candida
of both parties were reviewed by the t
statesmen from New York.
Another gentlemen hero In whom consld
able interest Is taken by the American cole
is ex-Mayor Hugh J. Grant of New Yo
who la engaged In seeing the sights In co
pany with his bride , a daughtctr of Sena
Murphy of Troy , N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. On
are among the latest arrivals here , havl
previously spent a week In Ireland. Tl
will go to tha continent next week and v
"do" Paris thoroughly , In addition to visit !
other cities. Incidentally , It may bo adt
that Mr , Grant and Mr. Croker have met t
will meet again whllo In London.
Little by little much secret , history c
nectbd with the two last drawing rooms
Buckingham palace ts leaking out and Is g
Jng the gossips plenty to chatter about ,
appears that the application of the dowa
duchrea of Marlborough , formerly Mrs. Lo
Hammersly of New York , who wished to
presented to the queen on her marriage
Lord William Bercsford , was returned to
through the lord chamberlain's office , wh
such applications arc filed , with the endoi
ment , In the handwriting of Queen Vlcto
that her majesty could only receive her
Lady William Bercsford , and that she co
not retain her previous higher title , as
has often done. Consequently thq charm
'ady who is generally known as the "An :
lean duchess" will In future have only
place In precedence at court as Lady V
Ham BcreaforJ , and wl',1 not have the rlgh
sit on the coveted btnch reserved for du
esses at state balls and other court functli
WHY THE PRINCESS WAS NOT THE ]
Tlio second Incident which Is being eagi
discussed by the gossips Is In connection v
the drawing room of Wednesday last , wl
the Princess Louise ( marchloncas of Lor
third daughter of Queen Victoria , rcpreier
the queen In place of the princess of Wa
who had been first ( elected for the honor ,
was given cut that the Indisposition of
princess of Wales was the cause of her re
Ing to bo prcaent , but It would rcem that
health ot the princess was not the real ca
of her absence from Buckingham palace
week. Among the names ot the ladles tc
presented waa a certain peeress for wl
company the prince ot Wales hug show
1 marked partiality. This cauved the prlni
to pay a flying visit to the queen at Wind
and her majesty reluctantly contented to
upon the Princess Loulto to represent he
the drawing room. But after this turmol
the royal family the much discussed pee
did not appear at Buckingham palace am
"Xl the storm Is blowing o\er.
"Vanity Fair" wys that the sonsallor
d
* the function was the presentation ot !
V George N. Curzon , formerly Miss Mary L <
Vw Of Washington and Chicago. She was drc
w more beautifully than any ono there , I
silvered white gown , with a yellow train
tachcd to silver wings on her shoulders ,
with diamonds "like dewdrops" over
dress and In her hair. A expected , Mrs. (
xon Is being warmly received here.
Lady Mary Hamilton , the young daug
lit the late duke of Hamilton , will be
richest peeress In England and probabl ]
0
the world. She Is only about 10 years old nnd
has Inherited the bulk of the late duke's es
tate , Including the hie of Aaran , which alone
Is worth $5,000,000. The whole of the duke
of Hamilton's property was at his own dis
posal , and the rentals already amount to
$1,000,000 per year. The duke's death was
duo to "banting , " as the process ot reduc
tion of one's avoirdupois Is termed , He hail
succeeded In lightening himself about sixty
pound * , but the process was too much foi
his vitality. The present duke ot Hamilton ,
a distant relative of the late duke , Inherits
Hamilton place and barely enough to support
the title.

NEW DUKE OF HAMILTON.
A week after the event the London
Journalism has awakened to the fact that
there Is public Interest In the character
and antecedent ! ) of the hitherto unknown
young man who has succeeded to the great
politic-economic and social Influence of the
dukedom ot Hamilton. Only one ot the
papers , however , and that , ' published In the
afternoon , seems to have" " realized any Im
portance In the event , but from Its brlcl
paragraph we learn that the new duke U
'
In his thirty-third year , has , been In the navy
but retired with the rank of lieutenant , about
three years ngo , after he had suffered from
a paralytic seizure , from the effects of whlcl :
ho has never recovered. * He has since
ved quietly with his three sisters , mostlj
i London , In a house given him by th <
te duke. I can add to , these meager < \ ells -
lls only that the young man Is unmarried
nd It H said he will not enjoy his nev
onors long. In case of his death without
sue , the dukedom will go to another cousin
is own relationship to 'the late duke \va :
cry remote , and vividly Illustrates thi
irlosltlcs and uncertainty of successions t (
ngllsh peerages , he being descended onlj
om a brother of the great-grandfather o

LONDON , May 25. ( Now York Worl
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The secon
installment of Arthur Orion's confesslot
which will appear ll | The Peopl
omorrow , takes up 'tho story a
abled you last Saturday of hi
Ife In Australia. He tells of meeting wit
ne Dick Slade , who1 , " It appears , had live
n England very near th'e Tichborno famll
lace In Now Hampshire. 1U was develope
n the famous trial that Lady -Tlchborm
mother of the mlssjng heir , was so flrml
onvlnced that her son was still alive , I
, plto of the fact that the ship Bella , In whlc
loger Tlchborne embarked In April , 185-
'orrdcred ' with all on board , that she advci
Ised at great expense In papers all over th
world. She was very religious and supei
tltuous and believed her son had bee
miraculously saved. It appears from Orton' '
ccnfesslon that the man Slado came acres
ne of the advertisements In an Australia
paper and showed It to Orton , who was the
a butcher passing under the name ot Toi
Castro. Orton continues as follows :
"Whllo I was reading the' advcrtlsemer
oday , It occurred to me that I would have
ark with Slade. I had alway told him an
verybody In Wagga Wagga , and Indeed , 1
Australia , that I was 0nhected with
good family and that I was superior to tli
position I was then holding. Although
had never said who I was , I liad always le
every one I came In contact with to bel
was of good family and that ultimate !
should come Into great riches. There wt
not , however , a word of truth In this stall
ment. Up to this time I had never hcai
the name of Tlchborne In my life. I dl
not know who he was , what he was , or whei
ho came from , nor had I heard the nam
or seen him. Then Dick said : 'Well , yc
answer the description of the advertisement
Out of mere devilment , and with the obje
of having a lark , I put my hand on my he :
and appeared moved to tears. This I on
did for fun , but he took It seriously ai
said : 'You know something "about It , Toir
Then , referring to the advertisement , I d
not either say yes or no , but gave him
short shake ot the head from which I
eeemed to think that I knew something mo
than I chose to say. "
Orton tells at length how he contlnut
the joke until he practically declared
Slado that he was Roger Charles Tlchborn
Then Slade , according to Orion's story , b
oamo himself convinced , and In the meantli
had given htm every possible Informatli
concerning the neighborhood of the Tic
berne manor and all ho knew from commi
gossip about the family. Then Orton w
Introduced to otic Gibbes , a lawyer , 'w
also apparently In good faith , entered In
the Idea that ho was Indeed the mUsli
baronet. Gibbes Introduced him to a Wag
Wagga banker named Cotteej who , like tethers
others , was persuaded of tile truth of 1
story and advanced him 50 , of which
was paid In cash , and 30 was to be pa
tohlm _ In SydncyHe gave Gottee a thr
' slgnedTt - Charles Tic
months' note , RogejCharles
borne , and his fraudulent dlalm was th
'
fairly Inaugurated. .
In the meantime Gibbes had-wrllten a 1 (
ter to the credulous Lady Tlchborne , Mad
ho had Identified her ion , anil ho persuad
Orton also to write. The confession contl
ues. "The letter I wrote at Glbbes' sugg <
tlon to Lady Tlchborne was something II
this :
" 'Wagga Wagge , Australia. My D
Mother : I have no doubt after so ma
years that have passed you 'Will have soi
dlfflculty In knowing whether It ts mo tl ;
It writing you. ' Then I went on to allude
the celebrated Brighton card case at t
Redford hotel , Brighton , and told her I h
1,600 there playing cardi. This was Ji
an Idea that I got Into1 my head and I s :
It , although It was perfectly untrue. I h
never been to Brighton , much less had J c\
played cards there. Then I went on to t
Lady Tlchborne that I had a brown mark
my left shoulder side , which I had , and tl
no doubt she would remember this , andod , (
enough she did. The letter further ital
that I had some other marks. I think
said I was coffee marked. I asked Jier
tend me out 300 to get home with. I ti
her I had several preparations to make I
fore I cared to come home , that my clctl
were not good enough to come home In , a
that my wardrobe was not , In fact , flt

regretted so little had been done during thi
session , but ho added that the governmon
.ad not felt encouraged to prolong It in thi

een seen In the house.
GROWTH OF BIMETALLIC AGITATION
Olio of the chief features ot the session
which has not been without startling In
Idcnts , has been the rapid growth of tin
ilmotalllc agitation. The bimetallic part ;
ms even been more successful in the Prus
Ian Diet than In the Reichstag , limsimicl
as the resolution of the Diet , Instead o
merely asking the government to call i
conference , as the Reichstag did , Instruct
he chancellor , Prlnco Hohenloho , mud
against his liking , to persuade the Bundcs
nth to so frame Invitations to the monetar ;
conference as to make It plain from th
itart that Germany wishes to bring abou
he general adoption of the double standard
Dr. Mlquel , tlio .Prussian minister o
Inance , however , in" his speeches on the sub
ect in the Diet , Tvhlle doing his utmost tn
ward the conciliation of the conservatives , I
: arcful to bind the government as little a
losslble to a definite policy. Practically ther
s no doubt that the Bundesrath will empowc
ho government to Invlto the powers to sent
eprcsentatlves to a monetary conference
finding no support for the bill advocated b
Count von Kanltz , looking to a state monoj :
ly of the sale of grain , they regard the man
ctary standard as ono of the big remedle
.vhlch . they claim the government owes ther
and they will be satisfied with nothing less.
It is Interesting that Prince Bismarck , I
his recent table talk with the Saxon dclega
.Ion , declared hlniMlf to be a blmetalllst , say
ng to Mayor Beck of Freiborg that he wa
obliged when In office to yield his own con
vlctlons to the opinions of currency experts.
RUMORS OF A MINISTERIAL CRISIS.
Rumor still busies Itself with the probabl
itles of a ministerial crisis and that Cour
ton Eulenburg , Count von Waldersee an
Count von Radowskl , the German ambassadc
at Madrid , are canvassed as possible su <
censors to Prince Hohenlohe.
Emperor William , after Indulging In dec
etalklng to his heart's content , Is back 1
Berlin , looking remarkably well. While
uest at Wlrchskowltz the emperor we
present at an exhibition given by Hci
Fielder , an Inventor of Berlin , on a ne
fluid. The exhibition took place on the Tali
near the castle. The Inventor poured soni
of tli ? fluid on the water of the lake , an
directly It came In contact with the watt
It burned upward , giving a hlgli flame c
tlio surface. A strange feature of the cxh
bltlon was In the fact that the flames coui
bo pushed aside at will by tlie boatmen c
the lake. The emperor was highly Interest !
In the spectacle and expressed1 the oplnlc
that the Invention could be made use of I
case of war.
Emperor William has painted a fine pi
lure representing Paget of Hlbelung
Fame , and has presented It to the new Ge
man Ironclad Ragen , where It adorns tl
mess room.
The errorcss of Germany and her chllJn
will pass part of the hot summer pcason i
Wyck-on-Fohr Island , In the north se
\\hcro four villas have been rented for tl
use ot her majesty and her sutto.
The measures to be taken In order
counteract the effects of the American p
troleum combine are still under consider
tlon by the government. For one thing ,
ts proposcC to differentiate between law ni
refined petroleum In the levying of duty ,
as to permit the establishment ot oil r
fineries in Germany. It has also been d
elded to allow the bringing tn the gener
market ot mixtures of Russian and Amcrlci
petroleum.
Steps for the complete reconciliation
Count von Kotzo and his traducers are st
proceeding. In accordance with the wish
of the emperor , Duge Gunther of Schleswl
Holsteln and Count Von Hohenau had to c
on Count von Kotzo this week and ex "e
their sympathies with him. And eo the , -rv
court scandal arising from the series
anonymous communications , sent for yea
past to various high personages , Is gradual
being smoothed over. The chief of the ge
eral staff , Count von Schllefen , Is now i
tending to this milter and the court procct
Ings which would have been personally d
tasteful to the emperor have been entln
surpended.

I have Interviewed prominent members ol
the various political parties of Cuba to us-
certain their views regarding the revolution
and the future ot the Island , political ami
economical. Chief among them Is Scnui
Rafael Mentors , one ot the most distinguished
of Cubans. Senor Mentors stated that he
had Just been In conversation with friends
at Puerto Principe , men of influence In the
homo rule part In that province.
"Tho revolutionists will find a dlfferenl
condition from the one that prevailed whei
the former civil war broke out , " said he
"At the present time there are very fo\\
Cubans of Intelligence or Influence on the
province who desire an appeal to arms. Ir
the ten-years' war nearly all Cubans sym
pathized with the revolt against Spain. It It
my Judgment that although Gomez will have
perhaps many recruits he will not obtalr
general recognition In Puerto Principe. AI
my correspondents Impart this Information
The same applies to the province of Santr
Clara. The revolt In Santiago province , ;
believe , will fall. Conditions ore not rlp <
for such a movement. Cuba is not rlpo foi
separation from the mother country. I d (
not agrco with the great Spaniard Bmlli
Castellar , who says the Cubans are no
flt for self government. I do not go as fai
as that , but I think that If the separatist !
were to have their way and sever conncctloi
with Spain for a long period , Cuba wouh
suffer revolutions anddisorder such as exist !
In some central American states. Propert ]
would bo exploited and general ruin prevail
Time , education , the acquirement of sel
restraint and familiarity with law-abldlni
characteristics of the great United States
would ultimately correct these evils , but th
price would bo fearful to pay. We shou'ld
to employ an English oollo < iulall8m-"cut ou
government to suit our cloth. " The future o
Cuba , the prosperity ot the Island and ad
ancement ot the Cuban people depend 01
he success of the principles of the nuton
nlst party , the party of home rulo.

LONDON , Mny 25. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) The subjoined
Interview with William O'Brien , M. P. , by
your correspondent today shows that serious
trouble has again broken out In the rank *
of the McCarthylte party. Ills statements ,
when they reach England from the World ,
will certainly provoke a hot controversy.
Ho Is about to be forced Into bankruptcy at
the suit of Patrick Chance , who until re
cently was a member of the nationalist party.
The sill I Is for the non-payment ot 400 , the
balance of law costs Incurred by Chance as
O'llrlcn's solicitor In his action for libel
ngalnst Lord Salisbury four years ago.
O'Brien said : "Yea , I received the final
bankruptcy notice today from Chance and
shall bo disqualified from voting In the House
of Commons on the 12th or June. I will not
allow the money to be paid by public sub
scription , first because Chance undertook suit
for the party and not for me , and ho should
await his turn to bo paid out of the Paris
funds allotted to discharging party debts
Incurred prior to the Parncll split , and , sec
ondly , because the Institution ot bankruptcy
proceedings against me Is a part of a con
spiracy to drive me out of parliament , con
ceived , I regret to say , by some of my col
leagues who have differed with mo and the
majority of McCarlliyltes on a question ot
party discipline , and therefore , because , If the
claim were paid , proceedings would be Imme
diately started against me for some other
party debt , for which I could bo made re
sponsible on the same grounds as this one.
To pay this claim would bo equivalent to
throwing a cake to appease a tiger. Chance
has already been paid a larger sum by the
party on account of the costs of the Salis
bury suit than the whole of Salisbury's costs ,
who had the leaders of the English bar cm-
ployed for him. "
"But why Is the conspiracy directed against
" " " " " "
"you ? "
WILL SAVE TIM HEALY.
"It Is not solely against mo. I am only the
first marked down for removal. Chanci has
brought suit against all the members of the
committee- our party for another party
debt. He proceeds in the English courts be-
causs no Irish Jury would give him a verdict.
It Is a deep laid sch mo to disqualify for
Parliament all the leaders of the nationalist
party except one , Mr. T. M. Hcaly , who Is
and always has been the Intimate , personal
friend , politically , of Chance. When I am
out , the Bchemo Is to start against
McCarthy , Sexton , Dillon , Blake , T.
P. O'Connor , In fact , all the prom
inent men of the party , who have
aken a monetary responsibility on their
ihoulders to support evicted tenants and
nalntaln the party when funds were ox-
laustid. I fiavo , therefore , determined to
make a stand at the outset , to resign my scat
Chance disqualifies mo and appeal to
ho Irish people against this Infamous con-
piracy to destroy the home rule movement ,
lecausa II cannot be made an Instrument o
he personal ambition of certain members ot
ho party. I am confident that Ireland will
espond In such a manner that it will ba
mpossiblo ( op Chance and hU frlenda to drive
he leaders of the majority of the nationalist
party out of public life. Personally , I hava
no regret at leaving Parliament , as It will
set : ro free to work In Ireland In view of thi
next general election. "
LITTLE FAMILY AFFAIR.
Many people In London are talking ot
curious episode connected with the last draw-
ng room at Buckingham palace , although no
nontlon of It has appeared In print. On the
naming of the function the statement wai
made In the official court circular , In the
Marlborough house section , that the princess
of Wales was too 111 to attend the cercu any ,
The afternoon papers had an Identical para-
raph , "known on authority , " presumably
from the princess , that the princess was not
111 , but would attend the dinner party given
by the queen at Windsor that evening , and
she was there among the guests. Up to that
morning the court circular had announced
that the princess would hold the drawing
room In the place ot the queen. The fact ot
these contradictory paragraphs and the ab
sence ot the princess from the drawing room ,
while well enough to travel to Windsor , ex
cited curiosity and Inqu'ry , and It
has been learned that the day bo
lero the countess of Warwick had
signified her Intention of being present at
Buckingham palace. The countess was Lady
Brooke before her husband's succession to
the earldom. The prince of Wales was Just
returned from a largo house party at War
wick castle , but the princess was not there.
The drawing room , for the first time slnca
her marriage , was held by Princess Loulsu ,
marchioness of Lome.
WILL PRACTICE ON BOTH SIDES.
Much curiosity and comment has been ex
cited in medical circles of London by tha
news Item In the Times that Dr. Allan
McLano Hamilton , the eminent New York
specialist on brain diseases , and who was tha
ga\cmmcnt'B expert In the prosecution ot
Gulteau , had taken a residence In London
for three months each year , and would prac
tice his profession , but both here and In
New York , Dr. Hamilton corroborated thl
Intention to your correspondent today. Ha
has leased a house In Chesterfield street ,
Mayfalr , In the most exclusively fauhlonabla
part ot the city.
