Tear Witnesses the Deaths of Queen Victoria and President McKlnley Many Other Notables Pass A way Dis asters, Fires, Accidents, Strikes, Etc. The year 1901, Brstborn of the new century, is made memorable by the deaths of two of the best loved rulers the world has ever known. In its first month Vic toria, England's good queen, breathed her last quietly and peacefully at one of her royal abodes. The forcible taking off of President William McKinley by the bul let of the misguided anarchist youth, Cttolgosz, in September, is in harsh con trast with her serene passing, and is a sad commentary tipon the laxity of our democracy, which favors the Intimate contact of the chief executive with the general public and fails to provide ade quate meaits for his physical protection. Many others of the great ones of earth statesmen, authors, churchmen, musi cians and business men have also heard the last summons and responded thereto. The Boer-British war in South Africa has continued through the year, rather to the advantage of the latter, and the armed resistance of the Filipinos against the rule of the United States has been fitfully in evidence. There have been several mine and rail way accidents, in which many lives have been destroyed. The number of destruc tive fires has also been quite large. The most important happenings of the year may be briefly summarized thus: J.mmiry. 1. Lord Hopetotiu Installed as first Gov ernor General of federated Australian Col onies. 2.

It is expect ed that efforts will be renewed before long for the settlement of the num erous controversies which have long existed between the United States and Great Britain, growing out of relations along the Canadian border, the At lantic fisheries, warships on the Great Lakes, the -Alaska boundary ard other questions. Heretofore the ne gotiations designed to secure a settle ment of the matters reoited have not proved effective, largely because of the cumbersome machinery of nego tiation, and this has led to the belief that much more could be accomp lished by direct negotiations between Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote on the main points and the subse quent assembling 6TWunTissi'0IV representing the United States, Great Britain and Canada to give form to tne basis of agreement rendered. The British author ities have main tained for some time that when the isthmian canal treaty is once disposed of there will be a renewal of the efforts to adjust the Alaska boundary and other pending questions, the canal treaty being regarded as one of the many pending questions. Now that the British government has yielded the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and other points in the isthmian ne gotiations, it desires to take up some 0"f the other questions in which it has important interests involved. Lord Pauncefote desiresto clear up all the pending differences and have "clean slate ' before his present term as ambassador comes to a close. When he came to "Washington there were four issues between the two gov ernments. The first of these was the Behring sea question, which had reached an acute stage. The diplo mats disposed of this question. The next was over Venezuelo, which, like the seal question, at one time threat ened war. But the efforts of diplo macy were again successful in avert ing trouble and bringing about a set tlement. The third important issue was the isthmian canal, which has been satisfactorily disposed of by the recent Hay-Pauncefote treaty. This leaves only one issue remaining in- order to bring about a "clean slate," namely; the border controversy, both as to Canada and Alaska. The Brit ish officials link these various bound ary controversies together, as they are more or less connected. At present a modus vivendi exists as to the Alaska boundary question. chiefly for the purpose of avoid ing " a clash along the border and holding each side in check until a final bound ary has been determined upon. It seems to be conceded on both sides that the modus cannot be carried on indefinitely, and that sooner or later the question of establishing a perma nent boundary must be settled. LANDSLIDE CAUSED WRECK. Four Lives Loit in an Accident on the Ches apeake & Ohio. Lynchburg, Va., Jan. 1. A land slide on the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, near Reusen station, five miles south of Lynchburg on the James river branch, yesterday, caused a wreck in which four men were killed and several persons injured, but none of them severely. heveral passengers from the scene of the wreck say that probably one or two passengers are buried under the debris caused by the slide, but no names can be ascertained of any pas sengers known to be missing. The train to which the mishap occurred was known as No. 7. It left Lynch burg behind schedule time, and con sisted of an engine, tender, batrgnce car and one passenger car, which was pretty well filled "with passengers. It is stated that the tram had run into a rock slide without damage, and the trainmen and some of the passengers had succeeded in pushing the passenger car back from under the cliff. They were trying to do the same for the baggage car when a second heavy slide came down. A shout of warning as the second slide came enabled most of those who were in danger to escape without injury. TURNING BONDS INTO CASH. Carnegie Making His Gift to the Government Available. New York. Jan. 1. ItTis rpnortwl on Wall street that at an auction sale by Adrain H. Muller & Co., 5 per cent bonds of the Carnegie Steel Com pany sold at lid 7-8, say the Journal. Andrew Carnegie tendered $10,000,000 in these bonds to the government for the Washington Memorial University for Original Research and the sale is believed by some to indicate that Mr. Carnegie nas begun to convert the bonds into money io order that the government should be relieved from any embarrassment on account of the bonds. At the price realized, the $10,000,000 in bonds would h ennl.. alent to $11,387,500, a substantial in crease of the pronysed endowment. Street and Freight Cars Collided. Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 1.
