LONDON, Jun 13.-(Speclal.) Conaterna
tlon prevailed at Buckingham paJace last
week when It was discovered that Princess
Victoria, the king's only unmarried daugh
ter, had taken it into her head to drive to
Brighton on Alfred Vanderbilt'a ooach.
Th prince, who In ordinary clrcum
stance I staid . enough, got bitten like
other society damsel . with th desire to

air. Bhe got her great friend, the Mar
quite d'Hsutpoul (who wa Mr. Btoner
before her marriage and grew up with the
"Wale girls") to book seat. Th mar
qulse Is fond of a lark and entered
thoroughly Into the fun, taking the pre
caution, however, to procure the places
under assumed name. The story goes that
the "driver" got wind of . the Identity of
hi distinguished guests and gave the seat
of honor beside himself to her royal high
ness.
From Brighton, where the princes and
her friend put up at the residence of the
princes royal In Kemptown, Victoria tele
phoned to the king that sh wa having
"the time of her life;" explained that the
marquise wan with her and please do not
be cross, aa not a living soul had recognized
them. Hi mjety, who la moat strait
laoed where hi own womenfolk are con
cerned, wa furlou. HI terror for day
was that the escapade would get Into the
newspapers.' But' a Victoria remarked to
th Marquise Hautpout, "With the excite
ment of th visit of th French president,
the papers will forget all about it.'

License Clerk Furay wrote out the consent

, "I keep Saturday," ha aald. "I won't

Mr. Furay explained he would have to

marriage of Ml Jean Whltelaw Reid to
th Hon. John Ward will tk place, by
special permission of King Edward, at th
Chapel Royal on Tueday the 2Sd, there
will be but a moit select few lit the way
of guetta Invited to the notable ceremony.
Being a private place of worthlp for the
king and queen and membere of the royal
family the Chapel Royal it neceesarily
mall.
It It part of Bt. Jame' palac. th rel-
dence of the prince of Wales, occupying
one corner of the main quadrangl. The
window on tn outer side open on "Am
bassadors' Court," on the other side they
face the Inner court of the palace. One
end. the east or altar end, abut on Pall
Mall, th other, where the royal gallery
Is, adjoins the royal apartments, having
door leading from them. Besides the royal
pews, with their crowned backs of gold,
there are also four other pews, high
backed and upholstered In rich red cloth,
two on each side of th broad center aisle,
facing on the aisle In the manner of old
time churchet. Th royal choriater. attired
In knickerbockers and long red coat
trimmed with gold, son of England'
proudest families, are crowded close In a
double row beside the tiny altar. Before
the palace, and, of course, before the
thspcl, pace constantly red-coated senti
nels of the royal guard.
Roralty to Be There.
It 1 expected that the king and queen
by their presence will honor the wedding
6f - the American ambassador's daughter
to a favorite equerry-ln-ordlnary, though
their majesties may be called away from
London on matters of state or otherwise
prevented from attending. Should the un
expected happen, however, representatives
will grace the royal pew. The two pewt
on the right hand of the church will be
occupied, a 1 th custom on such occa
Ions, by the king's household, the diplo
matic corps and such members of the gov
ernment who attend officially; those on
the left will be filled by the Reld family
and the Dudleys, or, to call them by their
family name, the Wards. This small as
sembly will fill the seating capacity of
the chapel.
It Is not the custom to decorate the
Chapel Royal In the manner of public
churches, and but for two vases of roses
on the altar the somber Interior of the
king' place of worship will not be changed.
The ceremony will, be performed by Rev.
Edgar Sheppard, sub-dean of the chapel.
with on of the English - bishops and
rector from New York. There will be no
bridesmaids, unless the bride-to-be changes
her mind before the wedding day, only the
little daughters of Lord Dudley, the Ladles
Honor and Morvyth Ward, will attend
Miss Reld. The published report concern
lng bridesmaid are, I am told, an error.
Reception to Follow.
Though the church function,- which take
place at t o'clock, must needs be so exclu
sive, there will be a reception at Dorchester
House, which the friend of the Reld and
the Dudley will all be asked to attend.
The . spacious msnslon. large enough for
the ambassador's Fourth of July entertain
ment, will easily accommodate the 400
guests who will get Invitations for this
Occasion. To enumerate these guests would
be to give a list of the cream of the British
aristocracy, to record the names of' the
foreign ambassadors, minister and plenl
polentlarle to London and to name the
American who have made a place for
themselves In London society. There will
be pclal guests who come from the con
tinent, from Paris, Berlin and even Rome,
and not a few who especially crost the
-water from New York and Washington,
and yet will rot have a chance to see the
actual wedding.
I am Informed at the embassy that It has
not yet been decided where the honeymoon
will be spent. The ccntlnent at this sum
mer season haa no charm for such fortunate
folk aa may spend the winter there, and
an Erjgllah country house In summer will
undoubtedly harbor the Honorable and Mrs.
John Ward at the Initial period of their
married life. Nearly a score of country
houses, the homes of friends, of dukes and
peer and lesser men, have been offered
to the popular young Englishman or to the
winning American girl. There la a chotqe
of any part of England or the highlands of
Scotland open to them. But tha ancestral
home of the Dudleys, Whitley Court. Is the
place where the Honorable John Is likely to
take his bride.
Lord Dudley Soon to Leave.
At this moment the secluded Worcester
shire estate is tenanted only by servants,
Lord Dudley, Mr. Ward's elder brother,
to whom the place belongs. Is at his town
house In Carlton Gardens. He Is In I.on
don settling his affairs snd bidding adieu
to the official world before his departure
at the end of the month for Auntralla,
where he goes, by the king's appoint
ment, as governor general. At his fare'
well dinner to the king snd queen. Miss
Reid was the only young woman present.
Of course, the king's equerry, In at
tendance periodically upon King Edward
must have a town house as well as
country place. His rresent house In Ches
terfleld street, Mayfair. about two blocks
from Dorchester House, Is only la rue
enough for a bachelor who dines only his
men friends; and he end Miss Reld nre
now looking out for an adequate, well
located establishment.
With the departure of Ixird and Lady
Dudley, 7 Carlton Gardens, wljl he vacsnt
already furnished and with a staff o(
servants In attendance. It Is likely, I
am told, that this will be the towd resi
dence selected by the new married pair,
at least for a season It Is delightfully lo
cated In one of those charming London
backwaters off a main thoroughfare.
Carlton Gardena numbers, all told, hut
seven houses, all the homes of ambassa
dors or noblemen. It Is quiet and se
cluded, where the public never come except
to gate and wonder, yet but a step from
thronged Pall Mall with Its rows of Im
portsnt clubs and its endless traffic of
cabs and motor cars. The Dudley house la
also In sight, across the gardens, of St
AJsmes' palace. It Is a place of some
twenty rooms, navmg an me appoinimems
of ball room and spacious dining hall, etc.,
necessary for a man who must entertain
officially. Nevertheless, , It Is unpreten
tious In exterior appearance, resembling
only a gentleman' private home.
A Bnsy Coartahlp.
At present the Honorable John Ward Is,
so to speak, off duty at Buckingham
palace, the king having granted him a
leave of absence that will allow him a
long honeymoon. He Is spending most of
his time at Dorchester house, going over
from Chesterfield street soon after break
fast, and shopping and paying call with
Mis Reld, then going with her to aomi
friend to dinner almost every evening.

ENGLAND'S LICENSING BILL
Liberal Government Stakes Existence
On Passage of Measure.
GEEAT BRITAIN MUCH AE0USED
Threaten to Affect Thousands of Peo
plo With SmsUl Capital
Property Tain of
License.
LONDON, Jun IS. (Special.) For a gen
eration no measure in England haa aroused
greater bitterness on the one side or greater
enthusiasm on th other than the licensing
bill. It Is no exaggeration to say that the
present liberal government has staked Its
existence on the passage of the measure.
The bill contains two outstanding fea
tures: Th reduction In the number of
places licensed for the tale of intoxicating
drinks, and th "tlm limit."- There are a
host of minor provisions, but with th ex
ception of the proposed legislation for clubs
they are of little Importance and are de
Signed only to give effect to the main pro
visions. In England the theory of the law Is that
the "house," or place where liquor la sold.
Is licensed, and not the man who sells It,
ss in America. Th licenses are nominally
D. O. Mills and Miss Mills, whs have r- j renewable every year at the pleasure of
rived from America, will be with them. T.ie "th cMlng Justices" (th Ju.tlce cf the
king's host on a visit such ks this became
as tt were the king's most honored gu-st
In his own house. It is not for him to
select tha hous party. H receives a Hit
of those who will coma with the king, and
then submits a list of those he proposes
peac of the district, sitting as a licensing
board), but In practice a license once
granted la automatically renewed. From
this system of. annual renewals has grown
up the Idea of property In licenses. Th
difference between the value of a house K-
Idea of property In licenses Is to cease, no
mor compensation ts to be paid and every
existing license is then to be treated ex
actly a la new license In which no prop
erty right can be claimed.
Financial Provisions.
The financial provisions of the bill ar
those which are arousing most opposition.
The bill proposes to make the liquor trad
pay for Its own extinction. Th compensa
tion fund Is to be provided by an annual
levy on the existing licenses, a a condition
of their renewal. The obviou result of
this 1 that the holder of license which
are extinguished will be paid off by those
whose licenses ar allowed to contlnu,
but at the end of the fourteen-year "tlm
limit" those who have been paying to buy
out their fellow, will be liable to immediate
extinction without compensation.
The number of license which will b
permitted to exist In a given district Is to
be calculated on the density of population.
Thus tn a district where th population
la two or less to the acre, one saloon will
be allowed, for every 4C0 people. This allow
ance rises gradually until In districts where
ther are 200 people to th acre on saloon
will be allowed for every 1,000 persons.
Tne provisions for clubs, which have
also aroused bitter opposition, ar de
signed to pravent bogus organisations tak
ing the place of the extinguished saloons.
Every club must take out a license for
the sale of liquor and is liable to Inspection
by the police at any time. If th police
discover any irregularity "s license is
liable to be suspended for t . . This
provision hit particularly at th ' ,j king
men's club which abound In all tha In
dustrial centers and many of which ar
really only places where the British work-
Ingman can get all he want to drink on
Sunday and at other' time whan th
aloon ar closed. A these club ar very
powerful politically, It 1 likely that thl
provision will be dropped or modified bo
for tha bill become a law.
Whll ther 1 a strong feeling In favor
of temperance In England, ther I prac
tically no prohibition sentiment. The liquor
