CASTLE ROOM WHERE SLEPT GLADSTONE Glorious Old Park Could Easily Be British Poverelga'a aa a Gift, bat All Hla Efforle to Bar Arc I a avail 1 obj (Copyright, 1902. by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Feb. 15. (New York World Cable gram Special Telegram.) Among the many estates offered hlra. King Edward has finally fixed hla choice on the Chateau de Thorenc, at Cannes, for bis residence during his stay on the Riviera in March. It belongs to Lord Rendel and Is considered the most beautiful demesne on all the sure coast, leaving In the shade even the great estates of the grand dukes of Russia. Lord Rendel Is the head of the board of management of the famous Armstrong firm and has a fortune estimated at over $00, 000,000. From 1882 to 1683 be was civil lord of the admiralty. While prince of Wales King Edward was several times a guest at Thorenc. A few years ago It was rumored In English circles at Cannes that be had offered to buy the place, but that Lord Rendel refused to take money and Insisted on making a present of It and the then prince had given up the idea.. The 125-acre park surrounding the castle Is entirely hemmed tn by stone walls clad In Ivy and honeysuckle. The avenues and ' lanes aggregate twelve miles. When In England Lord Rendel lives In another superb country place, Hotchlands, at Qull ford. He spends five or six months each year at Cannes and has another One resi dence at Postllppo, near Naples. Faatldloas About Her Gardes. Lady Rendel has long been renowned for ber exacting fastidiousness aa regards the keeping of her gardens. At Thorenc sbe lias twenty men ooiog nothing but looking after them, besides a head gardener, two foremen and a squad of experts for the greenhouses. The avenues alone provide work for several bands every minute of the day. Not a fallen leaf, burned match or footprint Is allowed to remain on the sand. As the park lies on a hillside, the aged Lady Rendel never strolls through It except In a tiny chair drawn by two white donkeys and two men with rakes follow at a distance to Immediately efface the traces of the wheela. What has attracted the king to the Chateau .de Thorene more than anything , else-Is the -woedeaful Jrollectlon of axotie - plants and flowers. In the grounds the . flower beds are never permitted to contain any but planta In full bloom. As soon as those are on the point of fading the whole bed la spaded up during the night and re set with flowers about to open, which have been kept In reserve In remote fields or in special forcing houses. From many lofty points the promenader discovers enthrall lng views of land and sea. Lord Rendel's daughtar, Maud, married Herbert Gladstone and Tborence castle possesses the room which the great Glad stone himself used to occupy there for a month almost every winter. In a particularly picturesque nook facing the south and the sea there Is a clump of olive trees set out by the prince of Wales with his own hands more than fit teen years ago. They are doubtless the enly trees be ever planted and he shows an Interest In their welfare and growth very time he returns.

Vnlque Poaltlon la Brltlah (Copyright, 192. by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON. Feb. 15. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) She who York has become through the dear. . the first marquis of Dufferln and Ave 4 nly American marchioness in the Br peer age. Her father is John H. Da f anker at 24 Washington Square, Ne-- " t. utru buv lull I ICU, UtUTO j T" AU 1 Dufferln's second son,, sh , tne Lady Terence Blackwood. Two ago Lord Dufferln's eldest son,' the of Avs, was killed In battle while d g Ledysmlth. and as he wss unme , Lord Terence Blackwood became U e and took the title of Viscount Clandewye. The new marquis and marchioness of Dufferln and Ava have a beautiful house In London at 75 Cadogan Square, where they are now. The new marchioness is expect ing a visit from the stork and has to be kept quiet. The marquis has been trying to let this house for the coronation season, since, on account of being in mourning, they will not be able to go out or to entertain. The coronation, probably, will be the only fes tivity they will sttend. Their house is entered by a large, square hall, an uncommon thing In a London house. All the rooms are beautifully decorated and upholstered. When they first went Into It the drawing room was done In a shade of rose red, but when everything was finished sbe decided the color wa3 unbecoming, so she had the whole altered at a cost of $2,500, all of which was paid by her father, who also gave the decorations and furniture for the bouse. The late marquis of Dufferln, after a long and brilliant carper as governor gen eral of Canada and British ambassador to saveral of the most important courts of Europe, died last Wednesday, in his sev enty-sixth year, respected by all, yet ruined In purse and broken In beart through a perfectly Innocent but too trust ful connection with unfortunate specula' tlve enterprises. A pathetic letter, writ ten by him at the time of the Whttaker Wright smash, has been published here. In which he moana: "It is really heart breaking. I am nearly ruined, and many others are Involved in the same cammlty. The one bright spot In the whole business is the way my shareholders have behaved And what do you think that good fellow C. did? He asked leave to place 1,000 at Lady Dufferln's disposal, and yet be himself Is a poor man." The late Lord Dufferln courteously as seated to more than one request of your correspondent for his opinion on impor tant International questions. In November of 1800 he wsa asked to write an article on the old and the new diplomacy, he being the most distinguished living exponent of the former. He sent this Interesting let ter, hitherto unpublished: "I bssten to acknowledge the receipt of your flattering proposal, but In the first place I am far too busy to be able to embark on any liter ary task, and In the second place I do not know that I have any distinct concep tlon of what Is meant by the new and old diplomacy. The telegraph and rapid means of communication by letter between the foreign office., and Its dependents aa.. of course, modified the position of the repre sentatlves at the various courts of Europe to a considerable extent..-! Imagine that Is not what you mean by the expression. new diplomacy a term which I bare frequently seen used in the newspapers without, however, being able to compre bend exactly to what It applies." The "new diplomacy" was , McKlnley's which was copied by Chamberlain, while Dufferln's letter is an admirable example of the "old diplomacy."

SCOTLAND YARD IS GREVI0USLY HOAXES- War Correepondent Mlstakea for Col- ael Lrark, Belligerent froaa Gal way Another Deaclt Tanked aa Rational Debt. (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Feb. 15. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) A strange, unrecorded Incident happened this week In the House of Commons. It' waa suddenly discovered that the proposal to appoint a second deputy speaker under the new rules wss Illegal without the personal assent of the king. The proposal might come any minute, so Victor Cavendish, M. P.. comp troller of the king's household, was posted off to secure the royal assent. On reaching Marlborough house he found that the king bad gone motoring to Windsor and would not be back for an hour. For tunately for the government, an unexpected ebate Intervened before the new rule and Cavendish arrived 'In the king's motor In the palace yard with the royal assent just In the nick of time to save Minister Bal four from the awkward necessity of ac knowledging that he bad overlooked this constitutional form. The ministers are amazed at the hostile reception accorded by a large body of their own followers to the new punishment rule directed against the Irish members. The rule not only doubles the period of sus pension, but It makes a return to the House by the suspended member depend on an ex press Ion of sincere regret, under the belief that none but Irish members would refuse to apologize. However, many tories have declared that they will never apologize. So this Ingenious proposal Is doomed, as It Is not the object of the ministry to provoke possible disfranchisement of British con stituencies. Irish Expect to Safer Aloae. The Irish members' view of the rule Is that punitive suspension powers will only be exercised against them, and where the English members defy the chair, which they did, with entire Immunity from punishment or even rebuke, on the home rule bill, the speaker will use tbe new power given blm to suspend the sitting member until the psasion cools. Scotland Yard was grievously hoaxed this week over the supposed appearance in the House of Commons of Colonel Lynch, Oal- wayX; absent minister.. George Lynch, a war correspondent in Cuba, China and South Africa, ' visited the house as the guest of Msjor Jameson, M. P., and signed his name In a book aa "Lynch, M. P." In stantly word waa conveyed to Scotland Yard and a cordon- of detectives was drawn around the chamber until two of them who were personally acquainted with Col onel Lynch saw they were after the wrong man. The Incident created a great commotion among the ministers. Scotland Yard evi dently apprehenda that Lynch will take hla aeat, aa It Is still closely watching both nouses oi parliament. As a matter of fact. Lynch apparently has no Intention of risking hla liberty. He has had no communication whatever since his election with the Irish members, who are rather disgusted at the part he haa played. The magnificent revenue of S710.000.000 which Beach, chancellor of tbe exchequer, will announce In bis budget, still leaves a deficit of $300,000,000 to be added to tho English national debt this year. Any at tempt to moke tbe country pay its wsy under present conditions would provoke instant reaction, so Uabllttlea are being pueu on to me debt.

Mother and sister re mained by the sick boy's bedside during nearly the entire afternoon and evening, leaving shortly before 9 o'clock for the res idence of Mr. Gardner, which Is their home while In Groton. There was every reason to believe that the patient would pass a comfortable night. Dr. Warren, the school physician. Is now the only physlctsn In attendance upon the Ick boy, his greatly Improved condition having warranted tbe dismissal today of Dr. Jewett, one of Dr. Warren's assistants and ths expressed Intention of the latter to make but one visit a day here. The last of the out-of-town newspaper correspondents left this afternoon. A medical review of young Roosevelt's esse obtained today shows that the boy became ill as the result of cooling off suddenly after violent exercise. The first diagnosis showed acute lobar pneumonia in both lungs, the left lung being the more seriously Involved. . The left lung soon be came entirely affected and the right con gested. It was a typical case of double pneumonia. Dr. Lambert, upon his arrival last Mon day, found the lad seriously 111. with pulse 120 and temperature 106. and tbe case had become complicated with acute pleurltls. The administration of oxygen was deemed necessary. This greatly relieved the patient. The second stage of the dis ease found the heart' ineffective, but oxygen and powerful stimulants had the desired effect and on Tuesday the tem perature dropped. On Wednesday oxygen was discontinued. The stage of resolution was entered with the vitality of tbe pa tient not greatly Impaired. The heart gained In strength and the Improvement waa very steady. ROME, Feb. 15.
