Pants; July 6.—Comte Boni de Castel- lane, who married Mies Anna Gould, has addressed a communication to the Prince of Monaco, specially geriticising the prince for his recent letter to Madame Dreyfus,: inviting her and her husband to sojourn at his chateau after the pris- oner’s acquittal, of which the prince ex- pressed himeclf confident.

Lonpon, July 6.—At the Fourth JInly reception given by United States Ambassador Choate, last night, to a number of distinguished English and American gueste, the ambassador made one of the most dignified and statesman- like addresses he has yet delivared in England praising the Anglo-Saxon alliance. The speaker declared that the Anglo-Saxon alliance was no new thing, aa was evidenced by the lowering of British flags in the channel fleet on the death of Washington, by sorrow for Lincoln, and by honest gnef at the de- mise of Garfield. He alluded also in eloquent terms to the sympathy of England in the rgcent war with Spain, and ded hia ka by oni atoast, “The Day We Celebrate.” Senator Lodge responded with a most patriotic expression of the determina- tion of the American people to carry on the war in the Philippines, ‘‘not selfish- ly, but for the civilization of that people.” Mark Twain also responded to the same sentiment, keeping the company most of the time in peals of Jaughter, but closing with this ioti TRLPHOS Os Occupied Most of the City Council’s Attention.
