Royal Funeral Expenses.

1t has caused much surprise that the amount
of the vote for the cost of the duke of Albany's
funeral should be SO small. l understand that
the outlay was really much larger, but the
queen has herself paid the remainder of the
bills. The expenses at Cannes were enormously
heavy, some Of the charges being most exorbi-
tant. When the king of Hanover was buried at
Windsor, in 1873, the queen insisted on paying
the wish of the duke of Cumberland, who de-
sired to pay everything himself, but her majesty
was resOlute,

friend that the mare would beat Oil
This was just before she started. Stone men
toned this to Busbey, Of the Turf. Field and

piaNse.

From the New York Sun.
At Port Jefferson, Long Island. on last Tues
day, the Rev. N. B. Thompson, of BROOKLYN
acted as umpire in a rowing match between
seven young girls from 12 to IA years old. At 6
o'clock in the evening the seven young ladies
backed the sterns Of their boats up against the
shore. young man took hold of each one to
keep her from starting too soon, and Mr.. Thomp-
son, watch in hand, said 60"
Two young ladies fOuled, and the others were
well ahead before they had ceased talking it
over. They came back to shore, each convinced
that the other girl had kept her from winning
the race. The other five kept right on. They
rOwed well. but they seemed more anxious to
keep ahead than to go fast, and when one held
the lead she would go out of her way to head off
any other girl who she thought was catching
up. The parents and friends on the shore were
all much worked up, and Mr.. Thompson, in his
excitement. waved his watch around his head.
and carefully noted the inside of his hat
The rowers had to 60 around the yacht Alarm,
which was anchored half mile from shore.
They went around in different ways, and got a
good deal mixed up on the other side, but they
came out again and dug for home Miss Blanche
TOOker OF Port Jefferson, was first, and won a
silver cup. Minnie Adee, of Brooklyn who was
second. got napkin ring. and the Others came

Report Of tho Governor of Washington
Territory - FlOurishing Finsn-
oial Condition.

Report o the Governor of wasliiB z ton Ter
rltory,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Watson
Squire, governor Of Washington terri
tory, in his annual report says that the
manufacturing industries Of the terri.
tory have attained gratifying i'm.
provement, but that of lumber trading
leads. In many cases the Indians are
engaged in cultivating the soil and il is
believed that the system of Rllotting
"A suitable quantity Of land To
them in severalIy can and ought to be
encouraged, If they could be induced
to concentrate and altogether abandon
certain reservations, il would conduce
much to the development of the terri
tory by the settlement and cultivation
OF large tract OF valuable land now
unsettled.
Touching the territorial law confer
ring on women the right to
vote the governor says al
though many OF our citizens
are disposed 10 question the wisdom of
this law especially when attended by
the requirement that women should
serve Az jurors, II meets the approval
OF large majority Of people, and the
women OF the territory are for the
most part strongly DESTROYS that the
enactment shall be retained upon our
statutes. Thus far 1t seems attended
with no important results unfavorable
to the people OF the territory.
The report states that the value OF
assessed property in the territory is
S6O,5lS,S 52, with one county to be
heard from. The territory is entirely
out Of debt. and July | 1888, had a
balance Of S47 05l in the treasury.
The population OF the territory lie
estimated at 10000.
In conclusion, the governor presents
n number of reasons in support of the
claims OF The territory for admission to
the Union.
The Union Pacific Railway Case.
The case II the government vs.. the
Union Pacific Railroad company, in
which the government claims certain
per cent, of the net earnings aud the
railroad company claims payment for
transportation, came up In the
court Of claims to-day. Only
preliminary matters were disposed of
and the trial will begin regularly to.
morrow, IL all the government claims
are allowed they will amount to 81, 7OO,-
600, but against this total the railroad
company claims Offsets aggregating
81 500 600.
