JUDGE STEPHENS DEAD
Prostration from Overwork
was the Cause.
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. .
Judge Stephens located in- Portland
about fifteen years ago, forming a part-

nership with his brother-in-law, Colonel
F. V. Drake, under the firm name of
Drake & Stephens. 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.

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'

that the government cannot alter the
gold standard of the United Kingdom.
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. '

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. Boston
