THE DUKE OF CORNWALL AND YORK.

As the words the "Prince of Wales" are 10 be replaced in the Prayer Book by the words the "Duke of Cornwall and York" it is evident Prince George will not bear the title of Prince of Wales. The Encyclopædia Britannica says Edward the Black Prince was the original. grantee of the Principality of Wales as well as of the Dukedom of Cornwall under special limitations which have continued in forth to the present day. The entail of the Princi-. pality was "to him and his heirs the kings of England" and of the dukedom to him and his heirs the first-begotten sons of the kings of England. Hence when a Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall succeeds to the throne as in the case of King Edward VII-the Principality in all cases merges at once in the, Crown and can have no separate existence except under a fresh crea- tion, while the dukedom, if he has a son, pre- sumably a first-begotten son, descends im- mediately to him, or remains in abeyance until he has a son if one is not already born. From this explanation it would appear that Prince George may be created Prince of Wales, but, nos being "the first-begotten son of the King, wall. However, just the very opposite to this, be cannot succeed to the Dukedoms of Com

has occurred, if we are to go by the announce ment that the words of the Prayer Book are to be altered in the manner stated above. However, the Encyclopædia Britannica further states that if a Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall should die in the lifetime of the sovereign, leaving no son but a brother, then as was decided in the reign of James I on the death of Henry, Prince of Wales, whose hair was his brother. Charles, Duke of York-the Dukedain of Cornwall would pass to the brather as the first-begatton son of the King of England then alive, the Principality of Wales Alone becoining merged in the Grown. It is true the Duke of Clarence was never Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall, as he died before his father became king, but he would, in the natural course of things, bave succeeded in those dignities, and leaving no son, his brother George became heir to the dignities he did not live to enjoy. In any case there appears to be no im pediment in the way of the present Duke of York. being created Prince of Wales as the

creation may be made at the sovereign's plea sure. The Duke of York, bowever, is no doubt quite satisfied with the Duchy of Cornwall, the income of which in 1899 was 11.134.00 of which

Great diversity of opinion exisis as to the German policy, and a curious idea seems to exist that inuch more friendly re- lations exist between that power and Russia than with us. Of course this may be so, but personally I cannot discover any sign of it, and if it were true Germany would be indeed, playing a most ignoble gaine. I cannot, how ever, see in what way her interests can be German and British interests, on the contrary served by dancing to Russia's pipe, while are closely identified. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to witness. the increasing good fellowship of Britishers and Germans, and i take up China as a serious item in our foreign as seems possible, we are unable at present to policy, it seems in every way desirable that Germany should increase her influence as an opposing influence to Brer Russia."
