The present and CHURCHILL ON BRITISH POLICY —_— Does Not Believe Parliament Will Be Dissolved on the Queen’s Death, MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 20.—Winstog Churchill, the English war correspondent and lecturer, is greatly concerned over the reports of the Queen's failing health. “In the event of the Queen's demise.’ he said, “the natural sequence would be the dissolving of Parliament. Whether this is done In accordance with a statute or as a matter of precedent I cannot say. However, those in Great Britaln who know what this would mean would not, I am sure, desire such a thing. There is absolutely no question that the Con- servatives would be again in power If another general election were ordered, but, knowing the facts as I do, I will say that In my opinion Parllament will not be dissolved. Whatever comes I know that the continued policy of the Govern- ment is assured.” Mr. Churchill left at 7:30 o'clock this evening for Winnipeg. If the Queen dies he will réturn to England at once. —_—— TO PREPARE FOR SEA BERLIN, Jan. 20.—The Lokal Anzeiger says the German imperial yacht Hohen- zollern, the cruiser Nymphe and the torpede boat Slelpner, now at Kiel, have recelved orders to prepare for sea/ and it is understood the orders are connected with the condition of Queen Victoria. most important war in South Africa be- gan in October, 1839, War in Egypt, 1882-85.

DUBLIN, Jan. 21.—A deep and very painful sensation followed the receipt of the alarming news from Osborne House, the newspapers here publishing frequent editions and their offices were besieged all day by anxious inquirers. The shock to the Irish people was all the greater because Queen Vie- toria, on her visit to Ireland last April, gave many instances of surprising vital- ity and she was understood to have been greatly benefited by the tour. The city vesterday wore an unwonted aspect of gloom, the streets being swept with con- tinuous gusts of rain and wind. The Natlonalists have been generous in thelr expressions of sympathy and the Nationalist press, as a whole, Is respect- fully silent. Only the Dublin Telegraph offers an exception by making the Queen’s illness the text of an attack upon the South African policy of the British Gov- ernment, Sk g 5 BULLETINS IN CHURCH. VICTORIA, Jan. 20.—Bulletins regarding the conditlon of the Queen were read at intervals during the service in all the churches here this evening and were lis- tened to with every manifestation of grief. Crowds surrounded the telegraph office for the latest news from Cowes. ADVANCEMENT OF BRITAIN Though Separated by 1E news of the serious {llness of the Queen of Great Britain has been received with the deepest copcern by the many British residents in this and their solicitude is in- creased by the distance which separites them from the mother country. Residents of ms in this city, they have not forgotten the country of their birth, and though their inerests and homes are on the Pacific Slope, their hearts are centered on_the small island on the south coast of Eng- land, where the soyereign ruler of. the British Empire lles awaiting the call of the King of Kings. The long refgn of Queen Victorfa, her many virtues and the great achlevements in scfence and-art. fostered by the aged monarch, have endeared her to her sub- jects and to those who have adopted other countries as their homes, and wherever an Englishman was to be found in this city yesterday, there was one paramount hope In his mind—that the ruler of Great Britain might be spared by providence for many years to come, A number of prominent citizens of Eng- lish birth yesterday spoke with deep feel- ing of the aged Queen. James McNab sald: “The reign of the Queen ahd the noble traits she possesses have exerted a pronounced influence throughout the whole world. She has been a prominent factor in doing good and all Englishmen know that she has done thousands of kindly acts which have never been made public. If providence decides | to call her to her rest, millions will be stricken with grief—not only her subjects but the people of all nations.\ Her per- sonal character has been a most remark- able one and she has always been in every sense a good and noble woman. As a monarch she has ever displaved a strength of power. Even her Ministers at xel have been obliged to yleld to the een on matters of vital import. Througheut the whole world, under mon- archy or republic. there has been for many years the deepest reverence for the Queen on account of her age and her splendid refgn. “The demise of the Queen will not, in my mind, affect the policy of England’'s Government. I have often heard it said that with the death of Victorfa. England would become a republic. I was in Eng- land recently and was struck by tae enor- mous popularity of the Prince of Wales. | There is no more popular man in Eng- land and while the subjects of the Queen will deeply deplore her death, yet the ‘ac- | cesslon of the Prince of Wales to the throne will soothe tfe universal grief. I | have never seen a picture of the Prince which convevs a true idea of his charac- ter. His photographs convey the idea that he is a dull man. He is just the con- trary. He Is full of life, and as I watched him a few months ago on the Ascot race | course he seemed to have a word for every one who surrounded him. The Prin- cess of Wales is beloved by the English people and her actions have served in many ways to counteract the feeling which was expressed at one time over the mode of life of the Prince. The Eng- lish people know that he will make a vl BRITISH-AMERICANS ' FEEL DEEP CONCERN ny veara | i Distance Their Hearts Sympathize With the Mother Country. | 800d sovereign, for he is likgral in thought | and 1s & patron of the art¥ and sciences.

There is no question but that the Boer trouble has been mainly instrument- al in her breaking down at this time. It is particulariy sad that she should pass away with England at war with amother nation. The British people in common with others have always wondered at the ality and strength shown by her. amother woman would have years ago given way under the great mental stretch and strain she has borne. Perhaps it would have been better if she had abdicated the throne in favor of the Prince of Wales some years ago, but who can tell? She has rounded out a life of use- fulness and the tears of many million people will best express their love and reverence for her.” The Rev. Dr. John Hemphill said “Queen Victoria e grandest wom- an that ever sat on the throne of Eng- land and her passing away will end the wreer of one of the finest characters in glish history. She has done more than any other woman or man for the moral and spiritual uplifting of England. This fact will become more apparent even af- ter she has ed to exist, for it is only then we will arrive at a full realization of her true worth. “Queen Victoria has started a good in- fluence in England that will live long after she gone. She fs beloved and honored, not only in the land over which she has reigned with such homor for so many years, but other ds where her true womanly nature has come to be best understood, hold her in the highest re- gard and sincerest veneration. “My hope and prayer is that her sue- cessor, forgetting the follies and frivoli- ties of earlier life, may rise to the situa- tion and walk in the footsteps of his illus- s and magnificent mother. He could ish for no better example, for with her as a pattern, the glorious record of Eng- iish royalty as exempl! by Victoria will be perpetuated and ever be worthy of the commendat; peopl POPE EXPRESSES DEEP SORROW Telegraphs to Cardinal Vaughan a Message for the Royal e Family.
