Met Death Surrounded By Her Entire Family. THE PRINCE df VALES HAILED AS KINO Patting of England's Queen Cautes Universal Sorrow Wat One of Most Beloved Kultrs of the World. Cowe, Into of Wight, Jan. 23. Queen Victoria ia dead and Kdwurd VII reigns. Tho greatont event in tho momory of this generation, tho most stupendous chuugo in existing conditions that could possibly Lo imagined, Iiiih takon plaro quietly, almost gently, upon the anniversary of tho death of Qucon Vio Uoriu'i father, tVo Duko of Kent. The I end of thla carreer, never equalled by uny woman in tho world's history, 1 camo in a simply furnished room in the Onborno Houte. This moat re 1 spocted of women, living or dead, lay I in a groat four pouted bod nnd mado a 1 cllrunkeii aiom whoHo uged face and 1 llguro wero a cruel inockory of tho fair I girl who, lu 1837, began to rule ovor ' England. Around her wen gatherod almoflt every dencondant of her line. I Well within view of her dying eyes thoro hung a portrait of the Prince jCoiiHort. It was ho who deslgnod tho I room and every part of tho castle. In Bcarcoly audibla womIb, the white ! haired BUhop of Winchester prayed ! be.ildo her, as he bad often prayed, for ho was her chaplain at Windsor. With bowed heads the imperious ruler of the German empire and tho man who 1h now king of England, the woman who lias Hticrcudcd to the titln of queen, tho prlncea and princesses, and tlioae of lens than royal designation, lUtenod to tho bishop's coasolosn pray ing. Six o'clock passed. The bishop con; tinned his inlercoi-sion, One of tho ; ouuger children asked n question in iihrlll, childish treble, and was immed iately illuncod. Tho women of this royal family cobbed faintly, and the mon shuflled uneasily. At exactly half past 0, Sir James Held held up his head, and the people then know that England had lost hor queen. The bishop pronounced tho benediction. The queen panned away qulto peacefully. She suffered no pain. Tho most of the mouraora went to their rooms. A fow minutoa later the inevitable clement of 'inatoiialisin stepped Into this pathetic chapter of international hlhtory, for the court ladies wont bribkly to work ordering their rjourn- ring from London. The wheels of the world wore jarrod when tho announce ment camo. but in thla palaco at Os borno everything pursued tho usual conrso. Down iu tho kitchen they were cooking a hugo dinnor for an as semblage, tlio like of which has seldom been known iu England, and the' din ner preparations proceedod just as if nothing had happened. Tho body of Queen Victoria was em balmed nud will probably be taken to Windsor Saturday. The coflln arrived last evening from London. It waa thought that the queen was dying about 0 o'clock In the evening, and carriages woro sent to Oiborne cot tage and tho rectory to bring all the princes and princesses and the bishop of Winchester to her bedside. It seemol then very near the end, but when things looked the worst, tho queen had one of the rallies due to her wouderful constitution, opened her eyes and recognized the presence of Wales, the prlucosses and Emperor William. Four o'clock marked tho beginning of tho end. Again the family wero su'nmonod, nnd this time tho relapse was not followed by reoovery. The Prince of Wales was very much affected when tho doctors at last In formed him , that his mother had breathed hor Inst. Emperor William was also deeply affected, but did his best to minister comfort to his sorrow stricken uucle, whoso now dignity he was tho first to acknowledge. From all parts of tho world there aro still pouring into Cowps messages of condolence. Thoy come from crowned heads, millionaires, trades men and panpors, and aro variously addressed to the Prince of Wales aud the king of Eugland. Kmperor William's' arrangements aro not settled. Hia yacht will arrive today, but it ia believed ho will not depart until after tho funeral. Attempt to Extort Money. Fort Mndlaon, Ia., Jan. 24.

The play ot for the night was "Ham lot," by E. 11. Southern company, and tho house waa packed by a brilliant audience. Tho first act had boon finished and In the second Mr. Southorn, acting the part of Hamlet, had spoken but a few linos when a alight disturbance In tho orchestra seats was observed. It waa caused by 11 slight ln-uo of smoke at that point. An usher went down the aisle and quietly asked the peopio to be seated, Haying there was nothing wrong. Mr. Souhtern, at this point, stopped to the front of the Htapo and b1m aeaured tho uudlonce that every thing waa all right. Then he resumed hia part, but boforo he had spoken two linos tho smoke insuod in auch volumes that there waa a spontnueous movement of tho peopio in ita vicinity. Without further order or augeestion, o'io of the moat remarkable scones ever witnessed in a crowded auditorium took plaoo. It was as if thu whole sit uation nad been rovoaled to every per son lu tho house, nud without a single , shout or anything else indicating a leador, dispersal of tho audience began , and was can led on with aa much or- j ner aim composure as 11 no sucn ming aa fire had ever been Known. Mr. Southern estimates his loss at $50,000. His company waa compelled to reach the street clad in their costumes and to loso the greater part of tholr per sonal offsets, left in the theater.

Brndstreot's says: Speculation hat lagged, but trade on spring aoconnt bar on the whole improved this week. Southern and Southwestern trado is opening up satisfactorily, and there are better reports rocelvod evon from the Northwest as to the ontlook, for spring business. As to retail distribution, conditions are hardly so favorable. Lumber appears to liavo boon aotlro at the West, and wholesalere have done more at tho East, but the export trade loss in this lino, as in others. It has been a woek of ebbing strength in the cereals. Argentina reports dis play an India rubber consistency, and this week has been devoted to atrotcn Ing estimates of tho export surplus from that country. Northwest wheat receipts have also been heavy, nnd tho so-called Wall streot Interest has been reported to have been liquidating. Flour is dull, but the deoline of 10 to 20 cents per barrel has tended to help export business. Tho textile situation is not altogeth er clear. Cotton has weakened on in creased stocks at the South. War, or rather rumors of war, have been the chief subject of discussion In the iron and steel trade this weeek, and to some extent have exerted a de pressing effect on sentiment. New demand at this time, however, Is never very large, and conditions as a whole are healthy and even promising. The labor outlook In lion does not promise as well. Wheat, Intending flour, shipments for the week were 3,336,054 bushels against 3,061,095 bushels last week. Bosiness failures in the United States ior the week ending number 290, against 322 last week.
