LONDON' , Feb. 23. It Is expected that the
r.ew United States ambassador to the
Court of St. James , Joseph II. Cho-
nte , who left 'Now ' York on board
the steamer St. Paul for South
ampton on Wednesday last , will bo
presented to Qucon Victoria , by the BrltlsU
prlrao minister. Lord Salisbury , on March T
nt Windsor castle , when her majesty will
hold a privy council , prior to her departure
for the south of France. Vanity Fair , how-
civer , says It Is still possible that the
qucdn will not go to Clmlezalthough every
preparation has been made for her fle-
parturo. It seems that It depends largely
upon 'tho ' course of events In Franco during
tho-ncx't few clays and It Is certain that
many Englishmen do not wish her majesty
to go to Franco Just now.
The ( jucen at present 'Is enjoying wonder
ful health , aavo for nn occasional touch or
rheumatism. She Is exempt from tnc
nervous 'headaches to which she was for
merly a victim , her ( hearing remains very
acute and oven her sight Is stronger than
thoit of most persons of her age.

The decoration of Lady Curzon of Kedlc-
H ; eton , wlfo of of the viceroy of India , with
the Imperial Order of the Crown of India
Is a high distinction , UK the order la prac
tically reserved for royalties and the wives
of secretaries of state for India , viceroy * ,
governors and native princes.
The Indian malls Just received show Lady
Curzon has made n conquest of Anglo-
Indian society , whllo the native papers pay
her glowing tributes. The Uangabapl , a
leading vernacular paper of Bengal , In a
truly Oriental eulogy , declares "all the goddesses -
dosses of the Hindoo Pantheon must hide
their heads In the presence of Lady
Curzon , " who Is llko "a diamond set In
gold , or a full moon In a clear autumnal
sky. " The paper adds : "Her color Is llko
molten gold , Its whiteness already having
assumed n tlngo of red In the warm climate
of this country. Her tenth nro llko n set
of pearls , her waist Is beautifully slender
nnd her raven tresses , setting off her white
complexion , niuko her look like , wo Imagine ,
the Goddess Sarnswntl. Her woll-shaped
head Is beautifully poised on a swan-llko
uncle , her eyes , handsomely purple , are ever
restless nnd beaming Intelligence , Her fore
head Is small and narrow , her neck Is llko
the neck of a swan nnd her voice resembles
the volco of n cuckoo. " This rhapsody con
cludes with saying Lady Curzon has moral
nnd intellectual gifts seldom allied with
euch beauty.

co-respondents. Lambton's counsel said the
actress had persuaded his client before their
marrlago that she had 500 n year and was
expecting n fortune when she came of age.
They were married In 1888 nnd returned to
England from Australia In 1800. Later Mrs.
Lambton attempted to commit suicide In a
hotel In Paris. Finally , counsel added , the
carl of Durham heard unpleasant rumors nnd
told his brother. The latter taxed his wife
with the statements made and she ran away
from her homo. Afterwards she wrote her
husband n pitiful epistle , which was read in
court , pleading for forgiveness for the sake
of their child , a daughter , born In 1891 , and
the miserable life she led. Mrs. Lambton
said : "When you have heard the truth you
will not wonder why I have so often tried
to end my life. I began with a lie , but I
have suffered for It. We are nearly starving.
My confession of guilt Is the greatest
punishment of my life. Llko a coward , I
was vile enough to tell lies about my own
mother nnd sister nnd money they never
had. I am guilty of nearly all the vile
things they say of me. What with drink
nnd extravagance I have sunk very low.
If I could only have the chance of being good
again I would Jump nt It. Hnvo mercy
upon me. "
The scandal recalls Uie painful circum
stances of d'Arcy Lambton's 'brother's ' mar
riage. The carl of Durham wedded a
strikingly beautiful girl. Tlio bride appeared
strange at the wedding and when the couple
went to the earl's , country seat she behaved -
havod In a most peculiar manner. Even
tually the truth dawned upon the earl. HU
wife was imad. Treatment was tried , but
not successfully. The carl applied to the
courts to nullify the marriage , but 3ils
application was refused. The countess Is
now an Inmate of an asylum for the Insane
at Sussex. She Is a hopeless idiot , but
the doctors declare she will live to an old
age. The earl was iborn In 1855 and was
married in 1882.

First Is the management of the offices

Tlio basket ball contest last night between

of Fremont and Omaha resulted In a victory
lor the players of this city , the score balng
2U to 0. When the game was called t 8
o'clock the gymnasium held as largo a crowd
as seats and standing room could be pro
vided for and while the greater part of the
spectators were friends nnd relatives of the
players , there were many who came ns devo
tees of the sport , fhowlng Its growing popu
larity.
The lads from Fremont were younger nnd
lighter than their opponents and toward the
cud of the game this disadvantage was ap
parent In the scorlnc. Out the visitors were
lacking In skill alee and had It not been for
thB frequent fouling of the homo players in
the Initial half the defeat would have been
still moro decisive.
The first score was made by Omaha , Mil
ler pocketing the bail by a clover pass sixty
seconds after tlmo was called. Then came a
series of fouls which enabled Fremout to
score four points from free thrown.
For Omaha , Denman , Miller and McCarthy
