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.

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.

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

diplomacy. The telegraph and rapid means

frequently seen used in the newspapers
without, however, being able to compre

The "new diplomacy" was , McKlnley's

Dufferln's letter is an admirable example
of the "old diplomacy."

(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.

Doctor'a Examination.
OROTON, Mass., Feb. 15. The latest re
ports from the rooms of the three sick stu
dents are favorable. Mrs. Roosevelt stated
this afternoon that her son wss doing fine
and that they were all extremely gratified
with his Improvement.
The Potter and Caramel lads are also
gaining, although their ' convalescence Is
not so rspld aa in young Roosevelt's esse,
should no new complications arise. It Is Mrs.
Roosevelt's belief that she will be able to
take her son to . Washington some ' time
aext week.
Miss Alice Roosevelt arrived at Groton
this, afternoon, accompanied by the stew
ard of the White House. She was driven
to the Infirmary of the school, where she
was cordially greeted by Mrs. Roosevelt
nd Teddy, the latter seeming delighted to
see his sister. 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.

but Miss Burns denies she was the person,
and declares she met Brooks at his place

tbe examination through which she was
put, maintaining that she did not spend
the night with Brooks. Tbe bellboy, how
ever, picked her out from three women
lined up before him, as the one who bad

Brooks Is a compositor, and friends of the

svery endeavor to have tbe Intimacy cease.
Brooks waa 20 yeara old and known as an
amateur athlete.

then entered tbe train, which at 2 p. m.
stesmed slowly toward Bremerbavcn. The
inhabitants of every village along the route
turned out, gathered along the rail track
and gave the princo a great ovation.
Bremerhaven, usually a dreary place, was
bright with color in the prince's honor.
All the shipping on the river flew Ameri

black with cheering crowds, as Kron Prlns
WUhelm drew out Into tbe stream at 8:43

Spain. "It is all untrue," said the prince.
"I have never written to Admiral Dewey In
my life."
The last seen of the prince from the
shore here was when he stood on the bridge
of Kron Prlns Wllhelm In an admiral's
uniform and lifted Ma cap In response to
tbe cheers of the assembled crowds.

United States Consul Henry W. Dledertch,
of Bremen made a speech at the twentieth
annual dinner of the Navigators' guild, at

more talked of today than any other inci
dent connected with Prince Henry's depart
ure. Mr. Dlederich, after dwelling on va
rlous reasons for amity between Qeraia-.y,
the United States and Great Britain, said:
Prince Henry le not srolns- to America to
establish a new alliance of friendship, but
to give renewed expression to the old,
friendly relations natural to the triole re
lationship of Germany, England and Amer
ica. Here is a Urelbuna created by heaven
and not by the arts of diplomacy. The
great sections of the Germanic people
should be united in close ties of friendnhlp
for the advancement of peace and civiliza
tion. Mr. Dlederich's remarks scored tremend
ously. When "Ladles" were toasted, the name of
Miss Alice Roosevelt was heartily cheered.
Prlace Enjoys the Seat Intent.
Prince Henry was unable to be present at
the dinner, owing to the preparations being
made for bis departure to tbe United States.
Tbe prince, however, read on the train a
printed report of Mr. Dlederich's speech,
and when the consul met him at Bremen
Haven station and wished tbe prince a
pleasant journey. Prince Henry congratu
lated him on bis speech and thanked him
for the sentiments expressed. Mr. Dlederich

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Feb. 15. (Special Tele
gram.) Special Agent McComas of the In
dian office, who has been Investigating
charges filed by Asslstsnt Clerk Pitman
against Chief Clerk llaygood at the Omaha
and Winnebago agency, haa wired Commis
sioner Jones that ho has completed his mis
sion and that his report Is on the wsy.
Commissioner Jones has wired McComas
to go to Genoa and make a general Inspec
tion of the school there. While it is only
conjecture. It is believed here that Agent
McComas has verified the charges sgslnst
Haygood and will probably recommend his
dismissal from the service.
Haygood is regarded as one of the best
clerk In the service by those In authority
here, but Is ssld to be addicted to drink
during the absence of Agent Mathewson
from the reservation. Mathewson Is re
ported as having attempted to minimize tbe
fallings of bis chief clerk, but the special
agent had Instructions to go to tbe root of
the charges.
Pitman, who was formerly In the Indian
office here, has made no charges sgalnst
Agent Mathewson, as assorted by soma of
the papers near the reservation, but only
against Haygood, who is a son of Bishop '
llaygood of the Methodist church.
To Transfer Dr. Tarner.
It Is the purpose of the Indian depart
ment to transfer Dr. J. F. Turner from the
Cheyenne River agency, where he Is at
present, to the Canton Insane asylum for
Indians In South Dakota. Dr. Turner has
been elgbt years in the Indian service and
is regarded as a most efficient man by tbe
department. The transfer will probably
be made Arrll 1.

Ite-enactment of Chlneae
Exclusion Act.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 16. Former United
States Senator Thurston of Nebraska mads
an argument before the senate committee .
on Immigration today against tbe proposed
Chinees exclusion bill.
He said that ths regulation of Chinese
Immigration should be left to diplomatic
negotiation in order to prevent irritation
which already was such as to affect the
Chinese legation tn the United States aad
possibly the Chinese court itself. He eon
tended that tbe Chinese government would
be willing to co-operate with us la meeting
our desires and aald that It is far prefer
able to approach the solution of ths prob
lem in that way. In view of ths fact that
we are now asking of China more than
ever before, while we are in a position to
lve less.
He also aald that while ba did not favor
coolie labor, he was sure the Chinese bad
boen a most valuable factor In the de
velopment of the west snd bad not Inter
fered In any way with the labor operations.
