The Duke of Edinburgh Disqualified From Serving Under His Flag.
London, Nov. 13.—In the house of commons to-day Sir Charles Russell, the attorney-general, stated in reply to a question that the Duke of Edinburgh, who is now the reigning duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and who, prior to his accession, was an admiral of the fleet of the British navy, is not now entitled to perform active service in the British navy. Therefore he received no pay. He had made no claim for pay.
Mr. Gladstone added that the duke will be allowed to retain his place on the navy list without pay, as a mark of honor for his long and distinguished services. His heart, Mr. Gladstone said, had always been in his profession, and it would be a matter of great pain if any change should occur that would in anywise weaken his relations with Great Britain.
