The Queens HeaIth-Its Effect on the
Details of Government.
LONDON, June 4.-The refusal of Mr.. Glad
stone this evening to give the facts connected
with the Duke of Albany's Canadian offer
causes much comment and is regarded here
as significant of the condition of the Queens
health. It is said to have been directly at the
request of her majesty that the ministry re-
fused to discuss the matter as it was at her
command that the Premier declined to accept
the Duke of Albany's profered services. Her
majesty recognizes the precarious condition
of her health and does not wish any of her
children to leave the country at present. The
Marquis of Lorne would have liked to have
remained another year in Canada, but the
Queen would not permit it and the Princess
Louise would have been recalled to England
early this spring had it not been that such q
course would have been misunderstood and
misconstrued. The Queens health affects all
details of government matters In great
many respects and since the fall from the
stairway with the nervous troubles that fol-
lowed and the effect of the death of John
Brown the ministry and those who personally
surround the Queen have had frequent cause
for anxiety. Hence such action as that of
Mr.. Gladstone to-day in turn causes some
popular anxiety.

were arraigned at the Tombs to-day charged

cally blackmailed Yelta Cohen, little girl

father keeps clothing store at 124 Walker
street. Yelka says that two years ago the
boy induced her to S teal 81 from her father
with which they went to theater. Ever
since the boy and his mother have persuaded
her to steal for them, constantly increasing
the amounts, threatening if she refused to
inform her father and have her sent to pris.
on. The amount thus obtained is said to
have averaged $15 per week. Finally the
child got tired of the persecution and con-
fessed to her father, who caused the arrest of
the Barnetts just as they were about to sail
for Savannah. They were remanded for ex-
animation.
