of the World.
Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. 23.—
Queen Victoria is dead and Edward
Vi I reigns.
'Ihe greatest event in the memory of
thia generation, the most stupendous
change in existing conditions that
could possibly be imagined; has taken
place quietly, almost gently, upon the
anniversary of the death of Queen Vic­
toria's father, the Duke of Kent. The
end of this carreer, never equalled by
anv woman in the world’s history,
came in a simply furnished room in
the Osborne House. This most re­
spected of women, living or dead, lav
in a great four postod bed and made a
shrunken acorn whose aged facawn 1
figure were a cruel mockery of the fair
girl who, in 1837, began to rule over
England. Around hhrwer) gathered
almost every descendant of her line.
Well within view of her dying eyes
there bung a portrait of the Prince
Consort. It was he who designed the
room and every part of the castle.
In scarcely audible words, the white
haired Bishop of Winchester ptayed
beside her, as he had often prayed, for
he was her chaplain at Windsor. With
bowed heads the imperious ruler of
the German empire and the man who
is now king of England, the woman
who has succeeded to the title of
queen, the princes and princesses, and
those of less than royal designation,
listened to the bishop’s ceaseless pray­
ing
Six o’clock passed. The bishop conJ
tinned his intercession. One of the
; ounger children asked a question in
shrill, childish treble, and was immed­
iately silenced. The women of this
royal family sobbed faintly, and the
men shuffled uneasily.
At exactly half past 6, Sir James
lleid held up his head, and the people
then knew that England had lost her
queen.
The bishop pronounced the
benediction. The queen passed away
quite peacefully.
She suffered no
pain. The most of the mourners went
to their rooms.
A few minutes later the inevitable
element of mateiialism stepped into
this pathetic chapter of international
history, for the court ladies went
briskly to work ordering their rjouru-
ing front London. The wheels of the
world were jarred when the announce­
ment came, but in this palace at Os-
l>orne everything pursued the usual
course.
Down in the kitchen they
were cooking a huge dinner for an as­
semblage, the like of which has seldom
been known in England, and the din­
ner preparations proceeded just as if
nothing had happened.
The body of Queen Victoria was em­
balmed and will probably be taken to
Windsor Saturday. The coffin arrived
last evening from London.
It was thought that the queen was
dying about 9 o’clock in the evening,
and carriages were sent to Osborne cot­
tage and the rectory to bring all the
princes and princesses and the bishop
of Winchester to her bedside.
It

was the first to acknowledge.
From all parts of the world there
are still pouring into Gowes messages
of
condolence. They come from
crowned heads, millionaires, trades­
men and paupers, and are variously
addressed to the Prince of Wales and
the king of England.
Emperor William’s arrangements
are not settled. His yacht will arrive
today, but it is believed he will not
depart until after the funeral.
Attempt to Extort Money.
Fort Madiaon, la.. Jan. 24.—George
Wolf, of West Point, this county, was
landed in jail here late last night, the
warrant having been sworn out by
Frederick Krickenbaum, president of
the West Point bank, charging him
with an attempt to extort money.
Krinckenbaum received a letter order­
ing him to deposit $5,000 at a certain
place under the Pitman creek bridge,
a short distance from town, on a cer­
tain date. The letter stated that, un­
less the money was forthcoming, cer­
tain properties owned by the banker
would be burned. Th letter was com­
pared with differnt hand writings.
Cincinnati, Jan. 24.—The Grand
1 o|>era home was tonight destroyed by
tire, except for its staunch outer walls.
The play set for the night was “Ham-
! let,’’ by E. H. Southern company, and
the house was packed by a brilliant
audience.
The first act bad been finished and
'■ in the second Mr. Southern, acting the
pnrt of Hamlet, had spoken but a few
lines when a slight disturbance in the
orchestra seats was observed. It was
caused by a slight issue of smoke at
j that point. An usher went down the
aisle and quietly asked the people to
be seated, saying there was nothing
wrong. Mr. Souhtern, at this point,
stepped to the front of the stage and
also assured the audience that every­
thing was all right. Then he lesumed
bis part, but before he had spoken two
lines the smoke issued in such volumes
that there was a spontaneous movement
: of tlie people in its vicinity.
Without further order or suggestion,
o le of the most remarkable scenes ever
. witnessed in a crowded auditorium
took place. It was as if the whole sit­
uation nad been revealed to every per­
son in the house, aud without a single
shout or anything else indicating a
leader, dispersal of the audience began
aud was earned on with as much or­
der and composure as if no such thing
i as fire bad ever been known. Mr.
Southern estimates his loss at $50,000.
His company was compelled to reach
the street clad in their costumes and
to lose the greater part of their per­
sonal effects, left in the theater.

A SERIOUS MENACE TO THE SITUATION
George T. Rice Made Serious Charges Against
Captain of the Port, Which Were In-
veitigated and Disproved
Manila, Jan 26. —General MacAr
thur has ordered the deportation to the
United States of George T. Rice, editor
of the Daily bulletin, a marine jour­
nal. Rice will sail on the Pennsylvania
Monday. The order characterizes him
as a “dangerous iucendiary and a
menace to the military situation.’’
Rice’s offense was publishing a state­
ment that Liev tenant Braunersreuther,
captain of the port, had charged exces­
sive pilotage fees, a percentage of
which he had kept for himself.
The repoyt ot Major Hills, inspector­
general, who Investigated the allega­
tion, completely exonerated the cap-
taiu of the port, and contradicted the
editor and the merchants who bad
given him information, who had been
misled by figuring the rates upon the
net instead of the gross tonnage, the
latter being specified under the Span­
ish law. Rioe was summoned to the
office of theguveruor-geueral’s military
secretary, and was called upon to
promise that he would publish no more
such articles. He declined to give
such a pledge, but insisted that the ar­
ticle was tiuthful, and took up a defi­
ant attitude when threatened with de­
portation. The deportation order was
theu issued, and Bice is now awaiting
the departure of the Pennsylvania.
When seen in jail today he reiterated
his statement that the charges were
true, and declared that in any event
the severity of the sentence was unmer­
ited.
Rice came originally from Red
Wing, Minn., was formerly a member
of the Minnesota volunteers.
The hearing of the municipal govern­
ment bill today developed an attempt
on the part of prominent Filipiuos to
secure a delay of two years before tax­
ing land where the owners are unable
to cultivate on account of the danger­
ous situation in the figbtiug terriiory.
The bill originally deferred taxation fot
a year. The commissioners adopted an
amendment providing that landowners
who are not implicated in tne insur­
rection after March, and prove that
the unsettled conditions prevent work­
ing land, be exempted from the second
year.
Lieutenant Steele, with 10 men of
the Forty-third regiment and seven na­
tive soldiers, fought a fierce half-hour’■

ing of over 100 insurgents. Private

Montreal, Jan. 25.—One of the most
destructive fires from which this city
has ever suffered began at 8 o'clook
last night, and, notwithstanding the
efforts of the entire fire department,
the progress of the flames was not
checked until 1 o’clock this morning.
By that time it had destroyed property
estimated at between $2,500,000 and
$3,000,000, and was still burning,
though the appearauce was that the
firemen have at last got it under con­
trol, Included in the property burned
is the splendid board of traue’a build­
ing, which cost $600.000, and housed
over 100 tenants, half a dozen large
business houses and two score of small­
er buildings. The weather was cold
and the firemen were greatly hampered
in this respect. Outside of the board
of trade building there was not a mod­
ern structure among those burned
Crowds of people jammed the nar­
row streets, and the police could not
control them.
Women fainted aud
their clothes were torn and a few
slightly injured in rushes for safety.
The fire started in the premises of
M. Saxe & Co., wholesale clotniers,
at Lemerne and St. l’eter streets. The
streets in the locality were deserted at
the time and the fire apparently had
good headway before the fit st alarm
was sent in. The firemen found the
building a three-story stone structure,
a mass of flames.

Victoria. B. C., Jan. 28.—Great
devastation was wrought and a number
if natives were drowned by the hurri­
cane in the New Hebrides and New
Britain, December 7, 8 and 9, accord­
ing to news brought by the Aorangi.
At Herbertshohe, while tne settlement
waa asleep, a tremndous sea carried
lighters, boats, ketches and wreckage of
all decryptions ashore. Innumerable
craft were wrecked. The sjegmer
Stettin, the steam yacht Elberbard and
the goverment steamer Stephen were
saved by running to Matupi for shelter.
The mission steamer Kingfisher was
totally wrecked and the government
wharf washed away. December 8 the
stone breakwater surrounding the New
Guinea wharves gave way and vesseles
inside were all wrecked, with losses
amounting to 100,0 >0 marks. A num­
ber of natives were drowned and many
injured.
The Aorangi brings news of a fire at
Greta mines, N. 8. W., in which five
lives were lost. Rescue parties worked
all night, but were driven back after
every effort. Finally the mine was
ordered sealed down in an effort to
fight the fire, and the men were aban­
doned to their fate.
On arrival at Sydney from Victoria
the bark Defiance reported passing a
derelict vessel of from 200 to 300 tons,
100 feet long, keel outward, evidently
wrecked a mouth ago, in 34 south, 166
east.
The Sydney Mail publishes a state­
ment from its New Hebrides corre­
spondent stating that French traders
and sailors have been at those islands
endeavoring to stir up anti-Britiab feel­
ing among the natives of the New Heb­
rides. The allegations is made that
the French traders have represented to
the natives that England's power is
waining, and have promised them var­
ious privileges for allegiance to French
interests. It is said that the natives
are being encouraged in various acts
of lawlessness against British traders,
and that a native murderer of an Eng­
lish skipper named Captain Nasmith
was shielded from punishment by the
captain of a Frenob ship. Serious
trouble is predicted in the New Heb­
rides.
While the steamer Titns was at th«
Gilber group, at Butaritari island,

planation. The opinou was expressed
that it was due to a severe voleanio
disturbance on some neighboring isl­
and.
Extraordinary results have been ob­

whole is of satisfactory volume for
this time of year. Relatively the beet
reports come from the Pacifio coast,
the South and the Southwest, where
the spring demand is opening well.
Unseasonable weather in some sec­
tions, notably the East, has been a bar
to activity in retail trade. Special ac­
tivity has been noted in some branebee
of the iron trade and sentiment has
been, on the whole, helped by a clearer
view ot the possibilities contained in
the recent “war talk.” The quieting
down of business abroad naturally
points to some diminution of our ex­
port trade, in the cruder forms of iron
and steel, copper and lumbar, bat for
finished products of these and other
staples, the outlook Is declared to be

export line this week was the shipment

largest shipment of this material ever
