The Radical Papers Take Occasion to Diiats

on the Expense to the Government.
by Cable to The Timesl
LONDON. Oct. 6.-The birth of q grandchild
TO the Queen has given rise TO a new crop of
the usual comments on the abundance of
royal descendants. The Radical newspa-
pers generally give the little one cold well
come.
The Pa'l-Mall Gazette prints list of forty
grandchildren of Queen Victoria and points
out that there is comfort in the reflection that
the success on is safe. This seems To be the
only comfort the taxpayers extract from the
situation.
The baby will, however. be no additional
burden for the present 10 the British treasury.
Battenburg and the Princess Beatrice already
have liberal allowance from Parliament. and
Beatrice besides has the privilege of living on
Queen Nictoria's bounty. as she accompanies
the Queen everywhere. Battenburg who is
looked upon as mere appendage of the
household has been called the most unhappy
man in Great Britain. but the assertion can't
be true. as ever since he married Beatrice he
has had enough to eat, whereas in Germany
he was in very precarious circumstances.
The Star is even worse than the Pall-Mall
Gazette. II explains that whatever dangers
may threaten the State there is no danger OF
failure Of the succession thanks to the German
Guiyerful. The Star closes WITH God save
Battenhurg.n

THE GAIETY GIRL'S SUICIDE.
Feeling In London Over the Alleged Effort t.
Suppress the Facts.


LONDON. Oct. 6.-AIuch feeling has been ex-
cited by the alleged attempt to hush up the
facts connected with the suicide Of the Gaiety
actress. Lydia Miller who killed herself after
the failure of Lord Charles William Augustus
Montague to meet her according to appoint
ment. Lord Charles is brother OF the
Duke of Manchester and an officer of yeo-
manry cavalry. He has reached the mature
age OF thirty-one without having become set
tied in his habits, and he is favored COM
panion of the Duke of Clarence and Ayondgle.
heir to the throne after the Prince of Wales.
Among the rumors afoat is that Prince
Albert Victor and other aristocrats had
been friends of the Miller girl and
had not treated her rightly. THESE
rumors are met by the fact that the father of
the girl is in good position ana has engaged a
solicitor of standing. who will not be likely
to respect or protect the reputation OF any
one who has wronged Miss Miller, who: there
seems to be no doubt, was thoroughly IN
fatuated with Montague.
