QUEEN VICTORIA ILL.
She May Be Unable to Attend Prince

IRELAEDs UEFE1eSED SYMPATHY.

II Touches the Hearts OF Loyal En-
glishmen and Will Aid the Cause
ofHome Rule-The Broken Hearted
Fiancee or the Dead Heir Pre-
sumptive.
LONDON. Jan. i6.--Rumor has 1t that
Queen Victoria is much more seriously
i'll than anybody in authority is willing
to admit. The state Of the queens
health is said to be such as to have pre-
vented her, in spite of her earnest desire
to be there, from being present at the
death of the Duke of Clarence and
Avondale, and it is added that it is
probable that the queen will not be able
to be present at the funeral of the late
heir presumptive.
1t may be added that there is no exag-
geration in the report that the Princess
of Wales is utterly crushed by the blow
which has fallen upon, her by the death
of her first born. DIR. Laking is in con-
slant attendance upon the princess. As
for Princess May, she is almost broken
hearted and for hours today she prayed
on her knees beside the dead body of her
betrothed. Words of sympathy with
the young widowed bride are heard ON
all sides in England, Scotland and Ire
land, and many tear has been shed for
poor Princess May.

BUSSEY'S ANNUAL REPORT.
Suggestions and Facts About the Nation


Suggestions and Facts About the Nations
Pensioners.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-The annual
report Of Gen. BuSsey the assistant
secretary of the interior. has been re-
ceived by Secretary Noble. 1t deals ex-
clusively with the work of the board Of
pension appeals, of which the assistant
secretary has direct charge, and with
the purchase of Indian supplies at the
government warehouse in New York. In
his discussion of the pension laws. Gen.
Bussey calls attention to several defects
in pension legislation. In order to sup
ply remedy, he recommends that con-
gress be requested to enact law that
shall expressly authorize the depart
ment to treat all improper, illegal and
excessive payments of pensions, whether
caused by fraud or mistake, as prepay
ments, to be charged against the cur
rent pension law, with a view to adj
justing or equaGzing current pension
payments within the discretion of the
secretary. In concluding his report
Gen. Bussey says:
81 am gratifed to be able to say that
the pledge of the nation, expressed a
century ago, that if any person, wheth-
er officer or soldier, militia or regular,
called into the services Of the United
States, be wounded or isabled while in
actual service, he shall be taken care of
and provided for at public expense

compliance with the provisions of the

BIMETALLlC UNION.

What a DELEGATE Thinks If John Bull
Could Only he Persuaded.
BRUSSELS. Nov. 25--Gov. Van Hoe
garden, of the National Bank of Bel
gium, will give a reception, December
Z, in honor of the delegates to the inter
national monetary congress. Leading
financiers have been invited and the af-
fair will be very brilliant a great deal
of lobbying is going on-amOng the del
egates, those of oQe view on the subject
of bimetallism trying to win over the
others The result seems to be in En-
glish hands
A delegate who favors bimetallism
says that France, Belgium, Switzerland,
Austria, Russia, the United States and
India. all holding large stocks of silver,
would be only too pleased to join with
| Great Britain in establishing bimetal
lie union. Germany would have no mo-
tive for remaining outside. Egypt and
| the English colonies would follow En-
glands lead and all the South
American states if only from con-
siderations of convenience, would range
| themselves in line. 1t is no exaggera-
| ton to say that if England would lead
| the way q worldwide bimetallic union
| could be formed with more ease than
| the existing worldwide postal union
The Germans seemed inclined to follow
the lead of Great Britain. They say
that Germany is not Immediately inter
| ested in the rehabilitation of silver, and
| they argue that, although owing to an
oversight her great currency reform
did not include a large stock of
silver thalers, about 100, 000,O0 in
number, which, if put into circulation,
would still constitute legal tender, no
practical difficulty has arisen from this
omission The general growth OF the
population and the normal demand for
a silver currency would. it is held, en-
able the government at any tipe grad
ually to work off this old stock of silver
without affecting the monOmetallic
basis upon which its currency is now
solidly established and upon which 1t
will be maintained
