BIRTHDAY OF THE PRINCE Littlp Edward Agod 7, Is Beginning to Bo Looked Upon in the Light of a Future King Lord Lansdowno Has Faith in Chinese Negotia tionsTroubles of tho Kodak Fiends Tho Cloveland Jowels Dis posed of Ono of tho Agrooablo Surprises of Politics. By Exclusne Wire from The Aunciatril I're.s. London, July 4. Julian Corbett, whose articles on "Drake and the Tu dor Navy" and "The Successors of Drake" are well known, wrote a while ago to the admiralty suggesting that a new tlrst-elass battle ship, then build ing, should be christened the Drake. Formal Intimation that tho latter had been leceived and should have due at tention was all ho got at the time, but It was .i.ild the other day that, after a long tntirval, he got a dlgnlllert re ply o messing the admiralty's regret that It was unable to carry out Mr. Corbett's suggestions, and explaining1 that It would be contrary to all pre. cedent to 1 anie a llrst-class battle sr.lp after a bird. The l.'ltsh public is only just b-;,'ln-nlng to look upon the little Prince Kdward, the seventh anniversary ot whoso birth falls Sunday, in the light of a future king, Tho Importance of his place in the machine of state In somewhat magnified by the absence of his father. According to present plans Prince Kdward will bo a sailor, go ing upon the training ship Hritannia In a few years. Lord Lansdowno does not take such a l'tj-simlstlo view of the Chinese ne gotiations as do a majority of the l.rltlsh newspapers. The foreign olllco by no means coincides In the view of the Peking correspondent of the Dally Mall, who cables today that tho nego tiations are drifting Into 11 hopeless muddle. There Is now an opinion among competent ofilclals In Downing street, that there Is a good prospect of st foment. There Is no Indication that the re lease of Arabl Pasha and the return of that famous exile to Kgypt will 1m Ptril in the smallest degree the gov ernment of Abbas II. The system of control established at Cairo is now strong enough to disregard Its former enemies, and, for that matter, their successors us well. Lord Cromer, pru dent master of Kgyptlan politics, would not have counseled the khedlvo lo cxe.rclso the prerogative nf pardon had ho not felt that the man who convulsed Kgypt twenty years ago will now be Impotent and harmless at Cairo, Kodak Fiends, Considerable difficulty Is experienced by the police and keepers In Hyde Patk in restraining the American visitor from tho Indiscriminate use of tho kodak. It Is a regulation of the royal parks that you may not take photo graphs there without an order. Per sons or groups of persona may not be photographed, only landscapes, Hocks, herds and so forth. On Sundays only hand cameras may be used. Of all this tho American Is, of course, cheerfully Ignorant, consequently whenever ho takes his walks abroad ho take! his camera with him. Anybody whom he calculates to be the king. Lord Salis bury, a duchess or any other deslrablo subject, ho snaps with eagerness. In this he doubly sins. Ho takes persons, and he takes them without a permit. in the will of tho Duchess of Cleve land, Lord Ttosebery's mother, who left something like a quarter of a million sterling, little mention was made of tho disposal of her jowels. The fact Is, the Cleveland jewelr, with the exception of what ate known as the Holton buttons, were not In the power of the duchess to leave to nn hotly, as they were left to her only for life, and have gone with tho settled property to Captain Forester. The pearls are magnltlcrnt.

British Politics. Ono of the ngreeable surprises of Ilrltlsh politics Is the doctrine put for ward by soveial eminent publicists that as tho Liberal party Is powerless to effect any good for Ireland tho Con servatives ought now to take extraor dinary steps to got Into close touch with the spirit of the Irish people, to show "practical" sympathy with the Irish traditions' and to initiate Indus trial enterprises of Imperial Import ance In Ireland. An an Illustration of something practical to bo done toward Improving the prosperity of the Iilsh towns, it Is mged In Inilucntlal quar ters that some port on the west coast of Ireland should bo utilized by tho gocrnmcnt as a great naval huso "to strengthen llrltaln's contiol of the near Atlantic" Spain appears to be making vigorous efforts to icpalr the depletion of her armament caused by the Spanish American war.

Olllelals ot the com pany, bavins tweed to withdraw all men from tho mine, except a few watchmen, and to mako no effort to resume work until the strike Is amica bly settled or olllclally declined off, there seems no probability of further hostilities.

In furtherance of the general desire for an amlcahle and peaceful settlement of the points at Issue between the com pany and the men a business meeting was held at Telluride, Friday, at which the positive assurance wm given that the union should not take action with out consultation with the business men who had consented to act as a, com mittee 011 conciliation, and they were only awaiting the return ot Manager Collins to take action tthon the out break occurred.

Henley, July 4. The second day of the Henley regatta was signalized by another victory for the Americans, tho oarsmen of tho University of Pennsylvania defeating the Thames Rowing club and thus winning their second heat. Tho hcauders defeated tho Relclan crow In tho trial heat to day and therefore the Pennsylvanlas will meet tho Lcanders In the final heat for the grand challenge cup to morrow. The conditions were even better than yesterday. A bright, hot sun was shining and there was no wind. There was a decided Increase In the attend ance and American Hags were very liberally displayed. Soon after U o'clock tho Lcanders, paddling to the start for their race with the Belgians, were loudly applauded along th course, but their reception was quite eclipsed by that given to tho Ameri cans, as, a few minutes later, they followed, The contrast In tho style of the two crows, whom everybody ex pected to see fight it out In the final heat, was more marked than ever. There was only five minutes difference between the two races and no sooner had Umpire William sent tho I.ean ders off, than Umpire Putnam's launch took Its place to start the Americans and the Thames crew. The former seemed even more con fident than yesterday. There was a capital start and the Pennsylvanlas had three-fourths of a length lead be fore the top of the Island was reached. They rowed eleven strokes In the first quarter, twenty-two in tho first half, and forty-one during tho llrst minute. The Americans went away steadily and easily from that point and drop ped their .stroke to thirty-eight. They did half tho distance In 3.30. Their opponents did the half In 3.1;!. Opopsite the Leaudct enclosure the Pennsylvanlas were three lengths ahead, and although they again eased considerably and the otliers spurted, the Thames men were never able to make up anything. Passing the grand stand tho Americans could not re sist a little spurt and they rowed past with a dozen strokes at the rato of forty-one to the minute. The Americans had a very friendly reception and a number of their coun trymen succeeded In giving them a very respectable college yell. The band played "Tho Belle ot New York." Results of the Heats. The results of the heats today were as follows: Grand challenge cup, third heat. The I.eander Rowing club beat the Belgian crew by three-quarters of a length. Time, 7.0S.

Time, S.14. Kills 'Ward, the American coach, vho was In tho umpire's launch, expressed himself as being thoroughly satisfied and confident. Ho said: "I told them they muet not m.tkc that spurt at the end, but I suppose they were so excited and pleased that they could not resist It." The Lcander-Bclglan race was a hard one, but not so severe as expected. Tho I.eanders got away with surprising rapidity, at the rato of forty-tin eo, and secured a bare length's lend at the top ot the Island. Tho Belgians soon struck a rapid gait and began to come up, but they could not catch the Leanders. Off Fa winy Court, which tht-y did In 3,24, the Lcanders were again clear. Off the Grosvenor club the Belgians spurted and nearly got up level. A splendid race home followed, the Leanders win ning by a bare length. A Desperate Race, Tho Lcanders finished very strong, and. in the opinion of experts, they could have made much better time. On one point all were ngreed, and that was that tomorrow's meeting between the Leanders and tho Americans will bo a desperate race. The Leanders nave greatly improved. They now pull well together, nnd today's race will do them further good. The Pennsylvanl nns have shown themselves to be In the pink of condition. There was sonic criticism yesterday because, after the finish, the Americans rowed straight to their bout-house and did not wait, as Is customary, and rattle their oar In the row-locks as a compliment to their opponents.
