Special Cable—Copyright. London, June II.—If the vlelt of the Longworths to London has done noth ing else It has caused enough dissatis faction and heart-burnings In the American colony to keep things stirred up for a long time.

The number who.were Invited wae lim ited, and, as Is' the rule, the list was submitted to th* king. Hence, many who desired to break bread with hla majesty were disappointed, and deep Is the resentment. It has had Its ef fect on the plans for the entertainment of the Longworthe. 'It waa not bo much falling to meet the Longworthe," complained one American matron, whose daughter married a title, today, "aa It waa miss ing dinner with the king." Some of the women whom Mrs. Reid overlooked were the Countess of Cra ven, who was Ml** Cornelia Martin; Mrs. Adair and Mr*. Georg* Cornwallis West, the Countess of Essex, who was Mies Adels Grant of New York; Mrs. Cavendish-Bentinck, and the Almeric Hugh Pagete, Mrs. Paget being form erly Miss Pauline Whitney. Mr*.

The Populists in Oaorgt* have already made up their mlndr, how they are going to vote this yesr. A large majority ses that there Is no chsnre to elect s Populist governor, and they nre going to vote In tho Democratic primary. They ore split up between all the candidates In the race, but at present It looks as If n majority will vote for Hoko Smith, though some of th* strong leaders of the party favor Mr. Howell, and, of course, will control some votes. "I understand the feelings of those fellows who mat In Atlanta. They are Populists straight up and down, and never Intend to vote a Democratic tick et. Borne of them have taken a solemn oath never to vote a Democratic tick et, and they never will. I suppose they will go ahead and put out a ticket when the convention meets, but It will amount |o nothing. They won't poll more than 1,000 votes." Speaking of Hoke Smith, Mr. Ward said; "I nm supporting the men because he stands for the same principles for which the Populist party stood. As to whethsr he Is honest, 1 do not know, but he stands on th* same platform that th* Pope have stood on for years, and for that reason 1 will vote for him. I believe In voting for principles, and not for man or party."
