The civil war between Spain and Portu- 2] was In progress when Victoria ascend- ed the throne. This was succeeded by the opium war between England and China; the disaster (followed by war)-in Afghan- istan, when out of 16,000 men, women and children who set out in midwinter from Cabul only one survivor reached Jellaha- | bad in safety, all the others having suc- cumbed either to the hardships of the ter- rible journey or the bullets of the treach- erous Afghans; the French conquest of Alzeria: the revolutionary outburst in 1548 that shook the monarchical system of Eu- rope to its foundations; Napolean III's coup d'etat; the Crimean war; the terri- ble Indian mutiny; the Anglo-French war with China; the war between France and Austria; the great American civil strife; between Prussia and Austria; France and Mexico, Brazil and Paraguay, France and Germany, Russia and Turkey, Chile and Peru, France and China and bellton in Canada and other minor cam- | palgns in Asla and Africa. all more or less on on the uniform of | . ber son, and helr to | throne.

In 1876 the addition of Empress 6f In- dla was made to her titles by Disraeii, who was rewarded with the title of Earl of Beaconsfleld. And now having dealt with the person- ality of the soverelgn, let us briefly sur- vey the economical and soclal changes that have been effected since her acces- sion, and the cataclysms and upheavals | that have diverted thie course of the na |tions and transformed the map of the { world. To begin with, in 1837 the population of London was only & million and a half. Now the number of persons within th» metropoliten and city police districts is over six millions. The people, now as free as we are, and enjcying as fully the blessings of self-government, had no vote, Flogging at the cartwheel was still in order for both sexes; hanging was the penalty for the most trivial offenses: men were imprisoned for debt; flogging was in foree in the army and navy; women and children slaved for fifteen hours a day in the mines; steam was in its in- fancy; what is now regarded as the most ordinary and indispensable adjuncts to our comfort and civilization were un- known. ope he was recelved with courteous | end always welcomed for the sunshine | savage and sanguinary, but too numerous to mention. Final Chapters. And last of all—and bloodlest—the Boer war. The English commander-in-chief has proclalmed that it was over, but the dally skirmishes and the growing adai- tions to the list of more than 20,00 British dead on the South African veldt speak otherwise. Each and all of these conflicts neces- sarily caused the British Queen the keen- est anxlety, and as she refiects upon them and upon the condition of Europe, always on the vergas of a general war, she must have remembered that many of the mon- archs who were responsible for a good deal of this dreadful bloodshed have long since rendered thelr account to the King of Kings, and that, in the presence of that grim leveler, Death, they were no more than the least of their subjects. Since Victcria ascended the throne three Czars bave pressed with fron heel upon the necks of their hapless subjects during ber beneficent reign over her own vast empire, which she can proudly boast stretches from sunrise to sunrise, a girdle about the earth—first, Alexander II (as- sassinated), Alexander III and Nicholas II; that she has seen five rulers of Ger- many—Frederick Willlam III, Frederick Willlam IV, Wiliam 1, Frederick I, and ‘William 1I; in France, one King (Louis- Philippe), one Emperor (Napoleon III) and two republics, the present with six Presidents—Thiers, ~McMahon, Grevy, Carnot, Casimir Perier, Faure and Lou- bet; five successors to St. Peter's chalr, viz: Pape Leo XII, Plus VIII, Gregory XVI, Plus IX and Leo XIII; in the United States seventeen Presidents—Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Plerce, Buchanan, Lin- Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Benjamin Harrison, Cleveland (twice elected), and McKinley (twice elected). It is a long record, and covers pages of historical happenings that appear very distant to the present generation. Inguest on Father Riegol. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19.—The Coroner to-day held an Inquest in the case of Father Riegol, the Roman Catholic priest, whose body was found in the hallway of a house on North Righth street, two weeks ago, stripped of his outer clothing and minus o considerable sum of money and other valuables. The jury brought in @ verdict that his death was due to optum poisoning. Six persons are under arrest, charged with the crime. Column of Hot Water.

The extreme weakness of her Maj- esty and the loss of her faculties ap- pear to be at present the chief causes of anxiety. Stimulants are being freely administered. In the opinion of those best qualified to judge, the Queen’s present serfous con- dition was precipitated by intense worry over the losses and hardships suffered by the British troops in South Africa. Fre- quently she has remarked to the court attaches that another war would kill her. In this connection Reuter's Telegram Company learns that she was most se- riously il while at Balmoral in the au- tumn. No word of this became public, but it appears that she was then almost dying, though that rigorous etlquette which she imposes alike upon her family and attendants prevented her condition even being spoken of as dangerous. The present stroke is a sequel to that which occurred at Balmoral. If she survives it she will not only be the longest-lived monarch in England's history, but also possessed of the most marvelous const!- tution of which woman was ever en- dowed. Locaily It is taken to be a coin- cidence that Sunday is the aunlversary of the death of Prince Henry of Batten- berg, for whom speclal memorial ser- vices are always beld. The arrival of the Prince ofd Walas at Oshorne this evening, accompanied by Home Secretary Ritchle, and the arrival of the Princess of Wales at 10 o'clock to-night, occasioned no scenes of any kind. They embarked upon the roval vacht Al- berta and went up the little river sepa- rating Cowes from Osborne. Entering roval carriages they were driven through the half gale which prevailed straight to the royal residence. Mr. Ritchie, it is understood, was es- pecially summoned to supervise the de- talls of the handing over to the Prince of Wales the necessary authority to transact state business. Though no announcement of this trans- to be constitutionally neces- sary. v to be made, the tiny town of Cowes, and, across the Medina River separating them, East Cowes, are both filling up with correspondents from al parts of the world, and rents have risen to fabulous prices. Fearful gorrow, not unmixed with ex- pectation, is written broadly upon every face. That officlal secrecy which stops all callers at the lodge gates does not serve to mitigate the general dread that pervades the islands. Located almost as Key West Is to the United States, they hold in their bosom the most precious and revered personality that a nation ever worshiped, and it is the general impres- slon that fortv-eight hours will bring the crists of that feeble life npon which so many International threads hang. The country women paused in their Saturday night shopping tours to pray that the hand from death might be stayed from falling on the big house over the Medina ver, but thelr pravers find little echo in hope, for those who have seen the Queen down here say she was only a shadow of death, Yet the policeman re: fers all callers to the bulletins and says to all mechanically, ‘“Slight Improve- ment.” The dread word “paralysis” is carefully kept from the nation. @vimimie ecfeeiesiorioionle sl sluelelesloclonle el @ FATE OF CUBA'S NEW CONSTITUTION May Be Presented for Con- sideration at This Session. —_— WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The report from hiavana that the Cuban constitution may be completed in time to be constd- ered at this session of Congress has led to discussion in Washington circles as to the procedure likely to be adopted on a document of this character. It is expect- ed that the constitution will be forwarded to the President and by him submitted to Congress, probably with recommenda- tions. In the House the understanding prevails that any action on the subject would be framed by the Ingular Commit- tee, but it is not clear what action, if is called for relative to the constitu- of what is held to be forelgn terri- tory. except as it contains provisions re- garding the United States. Chairman Cooper of the Insular Committee says it would not be for Congress to pass upon or ratify the constitufion, as it is for the Cubans to do this for themselves. He thinks it probable, however, that a de- claratory resolution could be framed, ex- pressing the views of Congress as to the sufficiency of the constitution in insuring a stable and pacific government for Cuba, and perhaps laying down the general plan of turning over the island affairs to the Cubans as soon as their constitutional system is put into practice. In this, however, the purpose would not be so much to pass on the constitution as to see that the United States pledges of a pacific government were carried out. In case the constitution provides for an American protectorate, or gives other pro- visions relating to the United States, spe- cial action might be required bevond the mere resolution approving the system pro- posed, Chairman Knox of the Committee on Territories expressed the bellef that there is not the slightest chance of advancing the constitution so that it can be con- sidered at this session of Congress, and he expects a Fablan policy by which the Cubans will slowly perfect their system. and the United States will gradually de- termine upon the ultimate relations which Ereb to exist between this country and ‘ubn. ARMY AT MANILA IS IN GOOD CONDITION MacArthur Makes Prompt and Satis- ‘factory Reply to General Cor- bin’s Inquiry. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—In view of the debate In the Senate over the alleged drunkenness and licentlousness in the Philippines and lack of definit, b tion g’-’ to the condition of afl:}i"fi."?:?. respects mentioned Adjutant General Cor- bin, on the 16th inst., cabled General Mac- Arthur at Manila as follows Tel h the conditie f the arm; - nila &nd elsewhers in the Phillppincs with Tor- ence to drunkenness and use of Intoxicating liquors. Are disorderly houses licensed, pro- tected or in any way encouraged by the mill- tary authorities? CORBIN. Gereral MacArthur replied as follows: MANILA, Jan. 17.—Adjutant General, Wash- irgton: With reference to your telegram of the 16th, drunkenness in this army is no more noticeable here than in garrisons in the United tates; considering the whole force as a unit_probably very much less. In Manila drunken men are very noticeable. The effect of one drunkard in a public place creates the frmpression among citizens of extensive disor- ders throughout the whole force, which |s not il case. The army Is in splendid condition and a high state of efficency, doing the hard- est kind of service in a most faithful and in- rriring manner. | Disorderly houses are not 1i- Censed, protected or encouraged. MACARTHUR. ol o Strike Is Ended. FLORENCE, Colo., Jan. 19.—The strike of the millmen of Florence was settled to-day. President Garman of the Btate Federation of Labor, who has been here in conference with both sides, announced to- night that the mill managers had signed an agreement granting the main demands of the men. including the elght-hour da; and the union wage scale. e mills wiil resume work at once. The agreement is for one year. CHRONOLOGICAL RECORD OF THE QUEEN’S REIGN England’s Progress Under the Monarch’ Who Has " Reached the End of Life’s Journey.

Smith of Milwaukee wants every one to try his remedy for the cure of rheu- matism at his expense. For that reason he proposes to distribute 25,000 free sample packages among all persons sending him their address. Mr. Smith has suffered all the agony and torture from rheumatism, tried all the remedies known and yet utterly failed to find relfef. At times he was so ‘helpless that he had to_take ne and after considerable doe- toring he gave up in despair. He began studying Into the causes of rheumatism and after much experimenting he finally hit upon s combination of drugs which completely cured him.

This gave Mr. Smith a new idea, and ever since that time he has been sending out free sampie gmfl to all who apply. It cured Miss yma Callender at No. 130 Oak st., Vincennes, Ind., who, after spending over 500 dollars with doctors, had been given up to die. In Pros- ser, Nebr., it cured Mrs. Carl Moritz, a lady of 67, who had suffered 52 years. In Fountain City, Wis, it cured Hon. Jacob Sexauer, a | gentleman ‘of 70, who suffered for 31 years. Rev. C.

Even prominent physiclans had to admit that “Gloria Tomic’” is & positive success, amo them Dr. Quintero of the University of Ven- ezuela, to whom it was recommended by the United States Consul. In thousands of other instances the result has been the same. It cured many cases which defled Hospi! Drugs, Electricity them tals, and Medical Skill, among over 75 years old.
