LONDON , Nov. 28. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram ) In a recenl
rablo dispatch I gave to the World some
facts In regard to the wild spcculallon no\v
In Ihe English stock market In Ihe slock
of certain bic > cle and other home organiza
tions , capitalized at enormous sums. Even
the South Africa craze of Ivvo years ago
apparently was the tame so far as Invesl-
iiient goes compared wllh the presenl mad-
'ni s. Ernesl Terah Hoolcy , Ihe chief promoter
meter of them all , Is Ihe most conspicuous
figure In Great Britain toaay. He Is Ihe
son of a Nottingham lace manufacturer ,
ntartlng only a few jdars ago with a
moderate capital. He Is known to be worth
many millions today. His chief lieutenant ,
Mr Harvey Dueros , Is well known In New
York , where I believe he lived only In
moderate circumstances for some years. He
Is of a respectable southern Irish family ,
and Is also now a multi-millionaire. Of
this recent frantic speculation In enter
prises of a seemingly most recklcea char
acter while American securities of the best
character go begging In Ihe markcl. Ihe
reporl of Ihe Board of Trade , issued lhi
week gives some startling figures.
During 1895 the new Joint stock companies
started In Great Britain and Ireland num
bered 3 53S and their aggregate nominal cap
ital wan 210.309910 ( J1.081.G49.D50) ) , an In-
rreawj of 75 per cent over the number regis
tered In 1S94. The unsuccesiful companies
In 1S93 amounted to 57 per cent of the new
companion registered , as agalnsl C ? per ccnl
In Ihe preceding vear. Thus , of every Iwo
companies floated , one may bo counted as
doorncl to certain early disaster. Figures
for 1S9B nrc not yet available. buMt Is known
lhat whllo the lotal capital registered may
nol be as greal a > < In 1S95. Ihe bankrupt com
panies will furnish a sllll higher proportion ,
owing to the South African and West Aus
tralian gold slump , and the exlraordlnary
number of rubbHhly Industrial companies
which have been offered for subscription tea
a gullible public.
ONE ILLUSTRIOUS SAMPLE.
The Bovrll company Is a striking example
of this apparent madness of the English In
vestor Bovrll Is a beef eMracl. Some jearu
ago Its makers started as a company with
n capital of 600,000 ( .500,000) ) There haa
been a progressive growth of dividends , the
net profit of the past vear being iS.OOO
( $440,000) ) . Some six weeks ace Mr. Hooley ,
who floated the Dunlop pneumatic tire for
5.000.000. offered the Bovrll shareholders
2.000,000 for their concern. Since then al
most every newspaper In the kingdom has
been utilized to advertise Bovrll In the guise
of interviews and bj many other ingenious
wavs In clue tlmo .Mr. Hooley , having thus
prepared the ground , offered Bovrll to tne
public for 2 500.000. and the stock Is said
to have been applied for several times over
although the dividends promised In the pros
pcctus are based on the highly optimistic a ?
sumption that the * net profits of the com
pany will be doubled In the nexl twelve
months. There Is an enormous amount of
capital Ivlng Idle In this country , because *
of the big withdrawals from both South
African and American Investments Mr
Hoolc } has been catering for a good portion
tion of this unused money with truly Xa-
poleunlc daring , resource and success
SCANDAL IN LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL
When John Burns , M P. , relurned from
bis visit to Ihe Untied States he drew some
dreadful pictures of municipal corruption
lu American cities , and hold up the Lon
don county council as a paragon of munici
pal purity. Al present he has his hands
full with a scandal on his model council
which Tammany could nol easily Improve
upon. Al his Instance mainly , the council
undertook to carry on Its own public works ,
creating a Works department with that
object. The officials ot this department have
now been convicted of svstcmatic mal
feasance by transferring balances from one
Job to another , so as to mislead the council
Into believing It was making savings all
mound. The Works department was cre
ated to prevent Jobbery between members
of the council and contractors , but Job
bery simply has lakcn another
chape Great heat has been engen
dered belween Ihe moderate and pro
gressive parties In the council over these
discoveries. The moderates , otherwise con
servatives , resisted the creation of the
Works department , being seemingly anxious
to perpetuate the BNstetu of contracting
which reached such u pitch of corruption
under the Metropolitan Board of Works
that thai body had to bo dissolved by the
Imperial government. Mr. Burns , in the
debate this week , deliberately charged by
name a moderate councilor with having
secured a valuable contract for the com
pany of which he Is chairman by Intrigue
with certain officials of the Works depart
ment. Though this charge was made pub
licly , with o\ery possible circumstantial
detail , It has virtually been Ignored by the
IxHidon press , and the council Itself has
taken no action upon It.
WAKES UP A NEWSPAPER.

llerco debate , an Inquiry haw been ordered
by the council Into the whole admlnlitratlon
of the Workdepartment with a * peclal view
to discovering what members ot the Work
committee wrro privy to the juggling of lit
balances ,
This scandal bad only ju t been disclosed
when another was detected In connection
with the management of the Industrial
training ship Shaftcsburg , which is under
Ihe control of the London school board. For
years the board has been charged wllh
iwlce the amount of meat properly con
sumable on Ihe eh I p. The Investigation , as
far as It has gone , fihows thai this over
charge was partly malversation by clerks
partly due to providing heavy dinners and
suppers for the ship's officers , lo which
they were not entitled , porlly to claborale
luncheons scl out for the Inspecting com
mittee of school boird. whleh , frequently
as It visited the ship , seems to have' been
entirely oblivious of the malpractices being
carried on.
CRITICISM CONSUELO'S CONDUCT.
Visitors returned from the royal house
par'y at Blenheim are rehearsing , the
World's fawrton corresponded reports to
night , the speculations which were rife al
Ihe palace during the grand functions
"Why' they ask , " writes this generally very
well Informed lady , "was It not postponed
on account of Ihe dealh of Mrs Vanderhllt.
Would II not have been postponed If the
dowager duchess of Marlborough had died'
And why , they ask again , should less con
sideration be shown for a member of an old
American family , lhan for an English
grandee ? " The general feeling Is lhal Ihe
prince and princess of Wales quite expected
It to bo put off. There Is nothing in the
unwrlllen rules of cllquelte which would
have prevented the duke and the duchess ,
doing so with perfeel courtesy and certain
good taste The engagements of the prince
and princess are so many , It doubtless
would have been Impossible ? to fix any other
dale for this jear , but there arc other vcars

ONE REAL NICE GAME.
There Is a well known game which Is often
played at country houses A sheel U drawn
across a room and Ihe ladles on one side
of It hang over their ungloved hands to be
recognized by the men upon the other side.
Lady Blandford slartcd thin game , when
malronlzlng the palace at Blenheim , but as
a variation , made the women put out their
teet Instead. On another occasion she made
up a horrible concoction and sent It around ,
Instead of a savory dirh al dinner , and was
dellghled when her guests were obliged lo
spit It oul. She la very deeply
hurt at not having been in
vited to meet the prince and princess of
Wales. Surprise Is also expressed lhal Mrs.
Arthur Pagcl , who very promlnenlly en
tertained the young duchess on her arrival
In London , was nol amons Ihe guests. Sev
eral of the duke's relations and some of
Iho duchess' American friends advised post
poning the party , but Ihe duke Is very obsti
nate and hard lo lurn from his purpose
whllo Ihe duchess , as a good wife should
thinks that whatever her husband docs or
says Is right. BALLARD SMITH.

The principal autumn visit ot royalty and
the principal society function of the country
house season was the vlsll this week of the
prince and prince-ss of Wales to Blenheim
The program of Iho festivities of Blenheim
vas carried out with succees. The sporting
features were all that the princeof Wales
could desire , accustomed as he Is to sample
the finest shooting In Great Britain. To
the crowds of reporters and to the towns
men generally the duke of Marlborough
made himself extremely unpopular. He re
fused lo see reporters , but allowed his
agenl , who reflects the duke's airs In a sllll
more offensive way , lo see Iwo or three
representatives of the press who were re-
queslcd by the agent while they were In
the park during the prince of Wales' visit
to wear high silk hats and frock coats.
AS TO BAYARD'S SUCCESSOR.

LONDON , Nov. 2S The announcement
today that the queen has olgncd a proclama
tion reassembling Parliament on January 19
has brought the public mind back to politi
cal mailers. The dale announced Is a weclc
earlier than was expected and only upon two
previous occasions since IhSO has Parlia
ment met so early In the year. The govern
ment , apparently. Is resolved to make a
great effort to get through with Its pro
gram , which , however , will be distinctly
modest. The only noteworthy proposal
which the government Is likely to make 'a
an Increase of several millions of pounds
In the war budget. Military men have taken
advantage of the recent war scares to ad
vocate strenglhenlng the army and naval
men have iwt been slow In adopllns a like
course as regards the sea army of Ihe king
dom. The army needs three specific re
forms , the rearming of the artillery , the
establishment of additional battalions of In
fantry , and the reorganization of the trans
port service. This program has been laid
before the cabinet national defense commit
tee , which. It Is understood , has resolved
to recommend additional outlay In order
to bring the army up to the same state
of efficiency as the navy for which no large
vote will be asked , as its program for the
year Is fairly welj provided for. In con
nection with the proposed Increase In the
strength of the army , it Is suggested an
Irish regiment of footguards be formed and
recruited In Dublin.
There were two cabinet meetings this
week , and they practically settled upon the
main points of the queen's speech at the
reassembling of Parliament. It was full of
references to elementary education and cm-
plovors' lUblllties bills , with probably a
secondary education bill. The government
has been very silent on the subject of old
age pensions , and it is believed this mailer
will be dropped , for Ihe present at least.
The mlnlslers hope to meet with Iltlle op-
poslllon. No scheme for voluntary schools
will bo presented.
NO EASY SAILING.
However , the modest program will not
Insure it an entirely quiet time. The re
cent South African policy has caused a
division among Its followcrs , which will
con\o In evidence early in the session. The
malcontents Intend to raise a discussion on
the policy of the secretary of state for the
colonies. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain , either
on the address In reply lo Ihe speech from
the throne , or on a motion to reappolnt the
selecl commlllee on Ihe Jameson raid. The
liberals Intend to make the latter Inqulrj
completely thorough and searching. Henri
Labouchere this week in Truth revives the
question of the complication of high parties
in England by declaring that Sir John Wll-
loughby has asserted that he only obeyed
secret Instructions from higher quarters in
the raid.
The prcsldcnl of the Hoard of Trade , C.
T. Ritchie , addressing the Croydon Cham
ber of Commerce on Ihe "Ilogy of German
Competition" this week , pointed out that
there has been a general advance In Brit
ish trade. It seems there has been an In
crease of 4'A per cent In Imports and 7'A
per cent In exports during the last tec
months , compared with the same period of
1S93. while British Imports from Germany
since 1893 have been almosl stationary. On
the other hand. British exports to Germany
have Increased from 17,700.000 ( $88.500.000) )
in 1S33. to 20.508,000 ( $102.000.000) ) In
1893 , and this jear shows a further In
crease of 12M- per cent.
The queen has pent a blue wcolen hood and
a pink and cream quilt , marked "V. R. ct I. , "
made by herself , to Ihe meeting at Frobmore
house of the County Needle Work guild , of
which Princess Uealrlco Is president. The
prlnccsj gave several home-made articles ,
which were dlstrlbuled to the poor.

may go to prison for twelve months or more
as the result ot Earl Rusjcll's libel still
agatnsl her. At least Ihe general feeling
about iho court where'the case U being tried
Is ihnl iho carl will win and that his
mother-in-law will not get off with less than
a j ear's Imprisonment.
The extraordinary revelations In the tes
timony once again rev'eal Ihe frightful state
of Immorality well known to exist In certain
circles of English nobla society. These scan
dals , white well kuovvn In general gossip ,
are rarely brought Into 'court , that being the
very last resort of ihose concerned Only
lhal publicity seems lo effect the social po
sition ot the parties. After It their social
fall Is absolute. The Introduction ot Lady
Cardigan's letter vcstenlay denouncing Lord
Russell In almost repulsive terms Increases
the Interest In the case. She Is the widow of
the famous commander of the "Six Hundred"
at Balaklawa Ever since Countess Rus
sell failed to obtain a separation from the
carl by divorce Ihe mother and Ihe daugh-
ler have pursued him "with remorseless
malignity In order to discredit him. Lady
Scott In the present trial has forced her
lawjers lo read correspondence Intended to
convey the Idea that at the time of the earl's
marriage wllh her daughter he was In love
with herself , and writing her letters which
leave the Impression that an Intrigue ex
isted between them. Lndy Scott was 45
then , while Ihe earl was 22. But she has
alwavs been an extremely fasclnallng
woman Even now , when over 50 , she pre
sents n remarkably smarlL.appeirance In the
dock , her slim , graceful figure , golden hair ,
brilliant eves , finely chiseled'but hard fea-
lurcs sllll lending her a ccrlaln atiracllve-
ness.
COUNTS AGAINST HER.
In suggesting Ihe existence of such rcla-
*
llons w llh her daughlcr's5anccc , Lady Scott
has simply supplied the prosecution with a
fresh motive for her relentless persecution
of Iho carl and so has further damaged her
own case. It Is perfectly clear , from the
judge's remarks that he takes a very hos
tile view of Lidy Scolt % "conduct
But Iltlle approachlncjprpof has yet been
adduced of the odlou-j 'oftcnije charged
against Ihe earl , offons-is ofhlch ! his wife
accused him In the ftraXmatrimonial suit ,
but which she subsequently withdrew and
apologized for as devou of nil foundation.
Earl Russell displayed HtrlklnE coolness and
readiness while underg < Sng- the terrible or
deal of three- days onTlhe witness stand ,
during which was rakcdjup ifvery petly de-
lall of his life from hls-school davs onward ,
which could bo Iwlsted jnlo any equivocal

peculiar , but not surprjsjng.-oeelng lhal bolh

The suit Is likely to lost several dnjs
longer. The defendant's case has not jet
been opened , bul nothing short of the most
conclusive Independent testimony , of which
there has been as yet no suggestion , can
enable Lady Scott ami the Ihrce men ( young
valcls and bailers on Earl Russell's yachts )
In the dock with her , to establish their
plea of Justification for the libels.
One of the strongest features ot this mar

ANOTHER NOBLE FAMILY.
The bankruptcy of Erl I'oulett , who has
this week been refused a ccrtlficalc of dlb-
charge from court on lha'ground of unjusti
fiable extravagance In living , recalls one of
the most singular romances of the British
peerage. When a young' man and before ho

woman at Portsca In fulfillment of a wager
made with three brother officers , thai he
would marry Ihe flrsl woman he mel In Ihe

LONDON , Nov. 28. Representatives of the
Associated press have been making Inquiries
In various British and continental trade cen
ters as tu the effects upon trade alroadv
traceable to the result of the presidential
election. These Inquiries have been made
among Iho leading c.\port houses , al Ihe
American consulates and of Ihe larger for
warding aucnls.
In England the Increase In the number ol
Invoices presented for authentication at all
the consulates in the first week after th > <
election of MeKlnley was more marked than
during Iho second and third weeks. But
Iho Increase for the second and third weeks
over the same- period In October was at manj
consulates over 50 per cent. Among for
warding agents there Is the general belief
In good times abroad , many of them having
slnco November made contracts for large
amounts of cubic space. Exporters and largo
commission houses report greatly Increased
activity , which they expect to continue for
some time , American stocks of dry goods ,
etc , hiving been allowed to fall very low
The winter buyers , due shortly , are expected
lo order heavily.
In Dublin Ihe election of MeKlnley has
been very cordially received by the ex
porters. There is everywhere noticeable a
general expectation of improved trade dur
ing 1S > 97. This feeling Is based In part upon
tlio assurance of a policy of continuity in
monetary affairs and partly upon the indi
cations ot the past few weeks of returning
prosperity In the United Slalcs. One large
exporter , however , qualifies this generally
held opinion by saying. "International
Irade is dependent upon so many fluctuating
quantities lhat no absolutely cafe predic
tions can bo laid down as lo the future. "
INCREASED FRENCH SHIPMENTS.
In Paris the Increase In the shipments
to the United Stales has been marked and
considerable since Iho election. The Indi
cations In Irade circles are that the exports
during the next tow months will be heavier
than for a long time past. This arises
partly from the fact that many orders for
merchandise had been given by American
importers conditional upon the election of
Mr. MeKlnley , and lhat a good many others
had been withheld until Ihe rcsull was
known Anolher cause assigned for Iho ac-
lual and prospective Increase In French
trade with the United Stales'Is that Ibcrc
Is a widespread anticipation lu France of
an Increase In Ihe tariff , aud It Is thought
wise to anticipate such an event by largo
shipments of French goods to the United
States while the existing schedules remain
In force.
So far as can be Judged by Ihe expres
sions of exporlers doing business Ibrough
the United States consulate al Paris , the
satisfaction at McKlnley's election , which
arises from his position on Ihe currency
queslion. Is somenvheal tempered by the
fear thai 11 will result in tariff changes
prejudicial to the Inlerestu of French manu
facturers and producers.
The beneficial effects noted in Paris were
also reported from Bordeaux. An Immense
quantity of merchandise was shipped from
that port to the Untied States as soon as
the result of Ihe election was known. Bor
deaux shippers predict a period of pros
perity.
The situation In Austria Is thus looked
upon by Mr. Max Judd , consul general at
Vienna. Ho sajs. "No election since Ihe
late civil war aroused so much interest In
Europe as Ihis last compalgn. American
business men believe that Bryan's defeat
will have a satisfactory effect on interna
tional Irado relations. There Is no doubt
that Bryan's election would have dcstrovcd
In Europe all confidence lu the United States
as a nation. In Auslria , especially , people
look upon Mr. McKlnlov as Ihe incarnation
of the prohibiting tariff. They don'l seem
to realize that our public men learn some
thing by experience All that Is now neces
sary to malic this splendid victory com
plete and lasting Is to have Iho next con
gress meet as soon as possible , redeem all
our banknotes issued by the national gov
ernment I. e. , to take the government out
ot the banking business ! entirely , and thus
reform our mischievous svstcm of currency.
It this is brought about , wo are nol apt
lo have in Ihe future the sliver agitation"
HOPE FOR AMERICAN PROSPERITY.
In Germany , more particularly In Frank
fort , the defeal of the free silver coinage
proposition has also been received with
satisfaction. This Is perhaps the more
nalimil when It Is remembered how largely
American national railway and Industrial
securities are held by all classes. A leadIng -
Ing exporter writes"II Is generally recog
nized hero that the financial policy which
shall most fully secure to American national
finances permanence and stability and ren
tier the American people prosperous will
bo the policy moat conducive to a healthy
and legitimate International commerce"
At Dresden iho exporters , while active ,
are a llttlo more conservative In expres
sion. They go only so far as to admit that
the fear of the adoption of a silver stand
ard has only been temporarily displaced
Even so , International trade has been al
ready benefited. But the uncertainty of a
new tariff scacdule and the fear of extreme
tariff leglblatlon , combined with the belief
thai the silver bailie will have to bo fought
over again , will cause merchants to movn
very cautiously along the lines of export
and Import for some months to come. The
prevailing opinion among the exporter of
Zurich and Geneva Is one of extreme nails-
faction at the result.

BERLIN. Nov. 2S There Is little doubt
now that n parliamentary conflict will oc
cur during the session of the Reichstag
over the naval budget. The government or
gans have hitherto denied that n large In-
I crcaso In the navy was Intended anil thu
figures of the na\nl budget were so Juggled
that It looked as If the government demand
was not In excess of those of former years.
A searching analvsls of the figures , ho\\-
, ever , reveals the fact that the Reichstag
Is really asked to sanction an Increase ot
about 200,000.000 marks The bill asks that
this j car's expenditures bo Increased 60.-
000.000 marks ami the matter Is so arranged
It Is believed that the naval expenditures
of 70,000,000 marks during each of the next
t\\o jeara. These sums arc not entirely
for the building of new \csscls , but are
also Intended to provide for the expense
of manning them. In parliamentary circles
It Is believed th.it the nava expenditures
of the next fhe jcaralll be largely In
creased If the Reichstag accedes to the pres
ent demands.
Emperor William , speaking recently ot
Admiral \on Hollman , secretary of the
navy. Is reported to ha\e i-ald : "Tho ques
tion of bringing the Gcriran na\y to a
suinclcnt standard of cflklency. not only
for defense , but for aggression. Is one of
life or death for the nation. Inasmuch aa
It Involves grossachstellung of Germany as
much as the state army does and whoever
! o\ca the fatherland will help to bring thli
about , as the German navy Is at present
wholly Inadequate for Its mission In the
future" This Imperial message Is now
circulating In the Reichstag circles and Is
much commented upon. It Is certain no
majority will bo found In the Reichstag
for tlietc purposes. The centrists and the
entire radical wing arc against It , which
gives nu adverse majorit } of about twenty.
During the week the government represenla.
lives of the naval department have repeat
edly hinted in conversation with deputies
that the rejection of the naval schema
means the dissolving ot the Reichstag.
BISMARCK'S EXPOSURES.
The revelations of the Hamburger Noch-
rlchten will not after all be allowed to
pass without judicial Inquiry. The Frankfort -
fort Zeltung today carried out Its threat
and denounced the Hamburger Nachrlchtcn
Ixfore the states attornev tor high treason
and the Konlgaberg Zeltuug did the a a me.
Doth actions are due totnese two news
papers being prosecuted by the government
for Indlscrctly publishing state news.
In the Diet the government , through Dr.
Mlquel. the minister of finance , Is asking
for a bill to enable It to use the yearly sur
plus , which this } onr is over 60,000,000
marks. In order to cover dctlelcncles In any
particular department , or to utilize It as a
contingent fund In the future. The liberals
and radicals are fighting this proposal as
a curtailment of parliamentary privileged
and as fraught with danger to the Institu
tions of the kingdom. It Is believed , how
ever , that the government will get the bill
passed.
The result of the election In the United
States has brought a windfall to the town ot
Speycr In the shape of $33,000 from Htnry
Vlllard. The pastor of that place has re
cently been trying to obtain subscriptions
to a fund with whleh to establish a sick
children's hospital , and Mr. Vlllard was approached
preached during his recent stay there. Ho
pro/nlsed / that If MeKlnley won he would
give the whole sum required This promlso
has been kept and the foundation stone ot
the new hospital will be laid next spring.
