BRITAIN'S QUEEN.
Suffering From the Most Obstinate Case
of rheumatism She Has Ever Had.
A Parliamentary Contest That Attracts Great
AttentiOn-rbe New German ChancellOr's
Feeling Toward England.
WINDSOR CONTEST d.

| parliam entarY election for Windsor in
creases hourly. The Liberals are send
ing their best speakers to address the
meetings which win be held on Monday
and Tuesday, and the confidence which
they have hitherto felt in their ability to
greatly reduce the Conservative majority
has swollen into a positive belief that
they will elect their candidate. Mr..
Grenfelt, Liberal candidate, Is very pop
ulRr, and the fact that it was he who
coached the winning Oxford crew in the
| last race also tells in his favor. The Con-
sentative candidate, on the other hand,
is equally unpopular locally, he having
been chiefly instrumental in depriving
villagers of the public playground. The
ground has been thoroughly gone over,
and full vote will be poiled.
QUEEN VICTORIA
has begun at AK Les Baino her usual
treatment for rheumatism She is
taking baths regularly, and spends an
hour every day swathed in fannel
baudages, with towel tied around her
head. Those who have seen her re-
clining on bed after her bath, wrapped
up to the chin and looking thoroughly
uncomfortable, find it hard to realize
that she is queen of Great Britain and
Ireland and empress OF India. From her
bedroom window her majesty looks out
upon one of the finest views in Europe.
Her rooms are in the second story of the
Hotel Annex and are 800 feet above the
sea level. The air and baths at AK have
always benefited Victoria, but she is suf-
fering at present from the most obstinate
case of rheumatism she has ever had.
CAPRIvI's POLICY
1t is stated that Chancellor Won Ca
priv is extremely DESTROYS to maintain
the most amieable relations with En-
gland, in view of the imminence of
movements in the Mediterranean which
Germany alone would find it difficult if
not impossible to check, and the proba-
bility that the Eastern question Will
shortly assume q phase menacing to the
interests of the allied powers.
SHOEMAKER IS STRIKE.
The shoemakers of the East End of
London, who do work for the trade at
their homes, have struck to enforce their
demand for workshops. They number
upwards of 1000, and base their demands
upon purely sanitary grounds, claiming
that the pursuit of their calling in their
living rooms is Injurious to the health of
themselves and families. A meeting of
the strike committee was held this after
noon and plan of action was agreed
upon. Meanwhile, negotiations with the
masters are in progress.
AunTT
The GOLFERS who recently gained VIC
tory over the masters, are endeavoring
to hit upon some plan to avoid strikes in
the future and negotiations with owners
to that effect are pending. It is proba-
BILE that the negotiations will result in a
settlement of the question upon sliding
system.
The Durham miners, numbering 49,,
600, have through their committee
made new demand upon their employ
ers for an increase of % per cent. in
wages and the construction of dwellings
possessing the highest sanitary require
ments for their occupancy. The owners
have not as yet replied to the demand.
The movement to save the lives of /
Richard and George Davis, who were re-
Gently sentenced TO death at Crews for
the murder of their father near Hough
last January, is gaining strength daily.
Already 1000 petitions with 60 600 signers
have been forwarded TO Home Secretary
Mathews. imploring his interference in
behalf of the condemned men, and as
many more are in circulation, but the
prospects of the exercise Of royal Glenn
ency in the case are very remote.
HOPELESS CAUSE.
The striking dock laborers at Liver |
pool are in extreme distress, still they |
hold out. Most of them are reduced to
the extremity of subsisting upon potatoes
donated by sympathetic persons, but
many of them are unable to procure even |
this food and are in a starving condition. |
There is no money in the strike fund and |
the hopelessness of the cause of the strik-
ers renders it impossible to obtain contri-
buttons.
The workingmen's society in the Saar |
district of Germany is urging the miners
in the government mines to declare a
strike until Delegate Warken,
who was recently arrested and con-
is released from prison.
The stone masons and other artisans

Count Menabreal, Italian ambassador
to France, has notified Nj Ribott, French
minister of foreign affairs, that he will
deliver to the latter Tomorrow the full
text of the treaty between Italy and
Abyssinia whereby the former obtained
foothold on the Red Sea literal. Both
France and Russia viii undoubtedly pro-
test against the operation of the treaty,
IN which case 1t is difficult to imagine

cation if not its abrogation.
President Carnot will journey to
Corsica tomorrow in high state, the
arrangements for the trip being on a
scale of magnlf1cence rivalling the days
Of the third emperor.
BISMARCK IS RETIREMENT.
The continental newspapers and mag
szines are replete with articles on the
resignation of Prince Bismarck, his
his services and the ultimate
effect of his withdrawal from active life.
From the general tone of the articles it
a apparent that the old chanceIIor's
