The Kir.v dally uses hin motor car and j.robably will v.so It for the journey on Jan. 21 from i'tnn House to Windsor, where the Que r. will Join him. Her Majesty at pres ent i.s at Marlborough Hons-. Consid rable '.utter was treated here by the announcement that Kir.g Edward had appeared In a frock coat with deep, turned up velvet ruf'. Hundred of fashionable Iran Immediately rushed to their tailors and ordered similar garments. In spite of their extraordinary novelty. Consternation now prevails as it i learned that what the Kins wore was a frock overcoat on which velvet cuffs are often seen. Marie Corelli, in a letter to a paper, caps tho climax of the antl-Cerman feeling ex isting in England. Tbl. authoress declaims jassionate ly ailntt the similarity of the mw British arriy uniforms with those of the German army. "Hearing In mind," she writt-H. "the absolutely criminal offense against our Kir it by the vile prints circu lated in Germany, U It Justified, or Justifia ble, to Insult our brave officers by com pelling them to wear any uniform even re inoUly resembling that worn by admitted sl.ii.d rt rs of our King, army and coun try'.'" Marie Corelli adds that It is scarcely jucessury to allude to the "widespread in dignation which inrevails everywhere at the color and design of the new postage stamps, which arc so essentially German in appear ance." XXX Andrew Lang joins the long list of critics cf Rudyard Kiplir.ss poem, "The Island ers." with a scathing denunciation of the author's personality. Mr. Lang takes the character in ".Stalky and Company," Rcn- rally supposed to be Kipling himself, hold Mm up to derision for his "unathletlc bru tality." and concludes: "The Americans I'.otorioMsiy cxel In many games, like the Ai stralian. Surely they are none the vrs- fr that. It r, not the games, but the fan.'.tu i.-m about the games anl the rubbish written against the games that we have to rc'n t." Whenever any officer rtmotely connected V. ith trick t or fo ub ill Is killed or wound ed in South Africa several of the papers l.ow always sardonically refer to him as tnotln-r "muddl.-d oaf" or "ilanneled fool," fcft r Kipling's lines. The lord e hief justice. Baron Alverstone. to-day sustained the contention of the de fense of Dr. Krause, that the charge of in citing lo murder must fail as there was no evidence that the letters in the case had reached Broecksman; but held that the üueMion of attempting to "persuade" must to to the jury. lr. Krause was found guilty and sentenced to two years' imprisonment. liefere he was sentenced Dr. Krauze said that he never Intended to murder anyone. fTh lord chief justice, in passing sentence, declared the offense was morally as great as though the crime had been carried out. The prisoner, the court said, did everything lie could do to ensure murder being com mitted and the maximum sentence was therefore imposed. XXX I.r. Leyds. the representative In Europe ef th9 Transvaal, according to a dispatch from Amsterdam to Reuters Telegram Company, held a conference to-day with the Boer delegation at Th Hague at the fcouse of Mr. Wolmerans. No official state ment has been given out. but there is tho Vest authority lor asserting that the eon Xerenco was merely a periodical meeting, 'l'ht dispatch says the reports of a ttrong jeact are ridiculed by the Roers them-t-elve. who .viy such stories are simply fabricated by British agents with a view to Rrtti.-h publication hoping to turn thera to advantage in South Africa. The Boers tliny that ir.iy in-got!. iilor.s are in progress. Jjr. Leyds 1- :t to-night for Utrecht. The British government has Invited ten ders on the Clyde for ten torpedo-boat de H rovers, larger and stronger but slower than those heretofore built. The Idea of the tovernmerit Is that the reduction of speed t twt Mty-ii e knots will be mure than com- J'ensated f-r by superior power, more re l.ililliy and greater coal room. y x x Th most important event of the re-aj-s mbling of Parliament was undoubted ly the emphatic declaration cf Sir Henry C'arnpbeil-Bannerman. the Liberal leader In the House of Commons, that the Liberal party is still committed to home rule. This was .-o utterly at variance with Lord Rose lery's Chestertield spech that It was taken to completely nullify the other pas tures of Sir Ibr.ry's opening speech in whioh he endeavored to conciliate the Uos5 lerv faction. The Spectator says' this re yiailirg of the home-rule r'.ag to the Liberal mast is a 'new ar.d violent repudiation of the Impfrla!lt wint." In other juarters the hcme-rule announcement has been taken to be a, de faeto bid for the support cf the Irish Parliamentary party, but this do-.i not appear to be a probable contin gency, as John Redmond mid other leaders c-f the Irish Nationalists have continually d el. ire I it and proved it their intention to hk,ht the home-rule battle unhampered by alii. trees, only supporting Sir Iienry Camp tu ll-Baniermau whrn tlo occasion suits thtm.

Action of Independents a Surprise, but Price AVnr May He Averted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., Jan. IS. General Manager Leopold Mambourg. of the Federated Co operative Window Glass Manufacturers' Association, who is the promoter of the plan of forming a selling agency for all window glass manufacturers, arrived from Pittsburg to-day. He says the meeting was a failure in so far as the purpose of con cluding the organization was concerned, but that the promoters are by no means discouraged. Mr. Mambourg says the defection of the Independents is a surprise, but that their opposition will be met by the other three organizations. He admits that with Presi dent Denny s organization at the back of the Independents they are a strong foe, for Denny proposes to make new work men on the 10-per-cent. plan of apprentices.
