For Ili-pat Monument to Victoria,
New Youk, Jan. 28 A dispatch
the Tribune from London says:
movement, which Is, however, entirely
witiioui oiticlal encouragement, is on
foot to erect a great monument to Queen
ictoria, in London. Already a sign
co. ties from India that such a proposal
would be likely to meet the spontaneous
wishes of the subjects of the crown in
far away climes. The suggestion that
May 24, the Queen's birthday, shall be
kept forever as a public holiday, alio
finds favor. This is all the more de
sirable, ai King Edward's birthdav falls
on November f, a period of the year
wholly unpropitious to the enjoyment of
brilliant pageantry, such as that of
trooping of the colors, which is un
doubtedly the prettiest display of the
season.

Sir. Nation and Governor or Kansas.
Topeka, Jan. 28. Mrs. Carrie Nation,
the temperance reformer and saloon'
emaeher, and Governor Stanley clashed
this morning in the latter'e office, and
during an animated conversation over
the enforcement of the liquor law of the
Etate the governor was eo ungallant as
tentatively to accuse the temperance
crtiBader of fibbing.
When Mrs. Nation Bwooped down on
the capital today there was great excite
ment. "I hove been doing your work
in Kansas," said Mrs. Nation to Governor
Stanley, "for a mouth and now come to
turn the job over to you" When the
governor said he did not approve of her
methods he was asked to suggest better
ones. Declining, the woman declared
him to bo dishoneet und a law breaker.
"You aie not in a woman's place," re
torted Stanley "and tell wtiat is not. true
if you say I am not doing my duty.,,
The executive got her out of his office
by telling her to go to the'attorney gen
eral und tell him the governor said he
waa to do hia duty in the enforcement of
the prohibitory laws. Mrs. Nation is
discouraged, but she will remain in
Topeka until every saloon ia closed.
Stvalloux Strychnine In Scuttle.
Seattle, Wash., Jan. 28. Because he
had w ringed a young girl in Minneapolis
some few years ago, Frank H. Hanley,
of South Seattle, aud a bridegroom of
but five hours, swallowed a doee of strych
nine yesterday, at his rooms in a North
Seattle lodging-house, and expired in
the arms of his bride. With his last
breath Hanley managed to gasp out to
the terrified woman : "I am not worthy
of you." Then he fell into her arms and
life was extinct.
Hanley came to this city eome nine
months ago, and went to a farm south
of the city, where he secured work. There
he became acquainted with Mrs.Brieden
stein, a widow, with whom befell in love.
He was married to her yesterday. It
seems that his conscience smote him so
eharply that he confessd to his wife the
storv of his past, He was forgiven by
her at the deathbed. L. ZL-
