THE LAST HOPE OF SILVER GONE Tbti Government Will Jiot Enter the Monetary Conference Nor Re open the Indian Mints. Portland, Oct. 17. Hon. Thomas A. ' Stephens, judge of department No. 4 of the circuit court of Multnomah county, died at hia residence, 706 Johnson street, at 3 :30 yesterday afternoon, from nerv ous prostration, due to overwork. He had been ill for three months. His wife and two children, two brothers, and Colonel F. V. Drake, his brother-in-law, were present at the bedside when the end came. The death of Judge Stephens was not unexpected. For the last two weeks he has been very low, and his physician, Dr. A. C. Panton, has entertained no hopes of his recovery for several days. Dr. Panton had frequently warned him that unless he took a. longer rest be would break down, bnt he persisted and at the end of the last term of court his health was badly shattered, Early last summer he visited Clatsop beach, in the hope of finding relief. His condition grew Bteadily worse, how ever, and he returned to' Portland a very sick man. On the advice of Dr. Panton, he was taken to the Blue mountains, where he improved for a few days, but speedily began to sink again. He re turned to Portland two weeks ago, and since that time there has been little hope of recovery. Hon. James A. Stephens, of San Fran cisco, and Hon. George W. Sproul, clerk of the United States district and circuit court in Montana, Judge Stephens' brother and half brother, were advised of his serious condition by telegraph, and hastened to Portland in time to be present at his death. Colonel Drake was in the Eastern Or gan mines, and arrived but a few hours before the end came. His wife, Judge Stephens' Bister, is in California. Judge Stephens left a wife and two children, Thomas B. and Gertrude, both grown. Beside the two brothers now in Portland, a third, C. H. Sproul, is edi tor and publisher ot the, Elko, Nevada, Free Press. Judge Stephens was a member of the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, . the A. O. U. W.f of which he was past grand master, and varons other orders; also the Grand Army of the Republic, Mul torpor club, and other social organiza tions. Thomas A. Stephens was' born in Brooklyn in 1848, and was about 50 years old. He came with his parents to California when quite a boy, and dur ing the civil war he enlisted at Sun Fran cisco, Cal., in the service of his country, and was assigned with his regiment to service in Arizona. He- followed various vocations during his early yare, upon his return to San Francisco, and at the time of the Wa shoe mining excitement he followed thousands of other fortune-seekers to Virginia City, Nev. Here he studied law and was admmitted to the bar. He practiced with success in Nevada for a number of years, and also for a time at Bodie, Cal., during the time that it was a lively mining camp. .

The firm had a large practice, and Mr. Stephens who was an ardent Republican, gradually at tained political eminence, and in 1890 was nominated and elected district at torney, and served one term. He was elected judge of department No. 4 of the state circuit court by a round majority in 1894, and was re-elected in 1896. He filled the office with credit. Three years of his term have yet to expire. The funeral will be held from the First Presbyterian church Monday afternoon at 3:30, after which the remains wil! be taken to California for burial. Mr 111 Mot Enter a Monetary Conference. London, Oct. 16. The British cabinet this morning held its first autumn meet ing at the foreign office: The premier, Lord Salisbury, presided, and all the ministers except Lord James, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster; Viscount Cross, lord of the privy seal, and Mr. Walker Long, president of the board of agriculture, were in attendance. The meeting lasted two hours. It is understood the question of re opening the Indian mints for the coinage of silver was not decided, but the matter was diecussed and will shortly form the subject of further communication be tween the chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, and the United States monetary commission. Further meeting with the American commissioners will be held sin.ply be cause previously arranged, at the cabinet last week. ' In regard to India, it may be regarded as certain that the mints will not be re opened at present or until the Indian authorities are fully prepared. No more definite' information can be obtained with regard to the action of the cabinet, but there is every reason to believe that the government's policy is as before stated that it will not enter into any international monetary con ference. Messages received from the American commission say they have re ceiyed no information with regard to the action taken at the cabinet ccuncil to day, but they hear that a statement will be issued next week to the effect that the government will make no suggestion to the Back of England, as to anv altera tion of its present reserve. The govern ment cannot, in any event, do more than make a recommendation to the bank, bo the statement that the bank will be advised that it should maintain full gold standard is incorrect. The press association sends out the first semi-official statement tonight : "The cabinet conaidered the subject in pursuance of the pledges given in its name by A. J. Baifour, first lord of the treasury, and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, in the house of commons when the resolution favoring co-operation in securing a stable monetary par exchange between gold and silver was passed, The chan cellor of the exchequer and his colleagues' $20002 Those weak - cheap' baking powder waste money.

But they have in the interval consulted the Indian government with regard to the opening of the Indian mints, and a reply iiaB been received, which, it is understood, ' is strongly adverse to the proposal. Owing 'to ' the difficulties raised in ' India and the opposition in other quarters- the cabinet felt that it was unable to give any immediate order to reopen the Indian mints, but it apparenely is not indisposed to enter into further negotations, and it is ex pected that,' as the outcome of today's cabinet council, the United States com missioners will shortly have another in terview with Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, and that the diplomatic negotations will be continued with the foreign govern ments more immediately concerned in the rehabilitation of silver." In spite of "the above, it is generally believed that the government has fully decided to say "No" to the proposals presented by Mr. Wolcott. ' Mr. Stevenson left London yesterday for Rome. VICTORIA'S REGAL RIGHT. Why the Niece of William IV. Was Called to the Throne. . Several newspapers,' in explaining' to their readers how Queen Victoria came to suceceed William IV., say it was because she was his niece. That is the truth, but only half the truth, for Wil liam IV. had nephews and other nices. George IIL's first, second, third and fourth sons were respectively the prince of Wales, afterwards George IV., who died childless in 1830; Frederick, duke of York, who died in 1827, also without children; William, duke' of Clarence, who died, William IV., June 20, 1337, without lawful issue, and Edward, duke of Kent and Strathearn, and earl of Dublin, who died January 23, 1820, aged 53, leaving as the sole issue of his mar riage with Princess Victoria of Lein ingen a ba,by daughter, now Queen Vic toria. The queen succeeded William IV., not simply because she was his niece, but because she was the only child of the brother next to him in the order of succession. Had Queen Victoria had a brother, she would in all probability not have been a person age of historical celebrity,' save in the contingency of succeeding him. Her rights were those that devolved on her from her lather. At the time she suc ceeded to the throne her uncles the dukes of Cumberland, of Sussex and Cambridge were living, younger brothers of her father and junior to him in the line of succession in the or der named. The duke of Cumberland (who became king of Hanover on the death of William IV.) was a man of such despotic temiper and principles that all England cherished the Princess Victoria as standing between it and his succession to the throne. He had lawful issue, as had the duke of Cam bridge. The duke of Sussex, a most estimable man, married twice, but these unions being repugnant to the provisions of the royal marriage act. this children were barred from the line of succession. From the revolution of 1688 rose the Jacobite party, made up of those who supported the cause of James II., his sons and descendants, The picturesque modern JacoToites do not recognize -Queen Victoria, despite the'fact that her succession is due to her Stuart blood, for she is a direct descendant of Elizabeth, daughter of James I., to whose heirs the title to the throne devolved by. the act of set tlement on the death of Anne.
