QUEEN VICTORIA ILL.
She May Be Unable to Attend
Prince Victor's Funeral.
IRELAND'S UNFEIGNED SYMPATHY.

II Touches the Hearts OF Loyal En-
glishmen and viii Aid the Cause
ofHomc Rulc-The Broken Hearted
Fiancee of the Dead Heir Pre-
sumptive.
LONDON. Jan. 16.-Rumor has it that
Qoeen 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 1t 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. DR.. Laking is in con-
stant 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 a tear has been shed for
poor Princess May.
Ircland's sympathy.
Here it should be mentioned that the
warm heartedness of the Irish people at
this crisis in English history (for
change i'll the line of succession may
justly be termed crisis) has done more
for the cause of home rule for Ireland
than all the parliamentary agitation OF
the last ten years. Ireland, in the hour
OF sorrow, has risen to the occasion and
has joined hands in sympathy with Eng
land i'll mourning for the dead.
On all sides here are heard words of
gratitude to the Irish for having SO
nobly buried the past, at least for the
present, and for having Joined, in the
heartlest manner possible, in the ex-
preston of coincidence uttered at the
death of the heir to the throne of
England. The Irish newspapers, us a
rule, came out in mourning, and with
few exceptions they expressed loyal,
hearty sympathy with the loss sustained
by the royal family of England. This
has decidedly touched the hearts of her
AiRJC5t9 oubJtGlo VII lillo Sltte Vi INC
channel, and there is no doubt that it
will win much additional support in
England for the measure Ireland has at
heart.
No Date Set for the Funeral.
The queen has not yet decided upon
the date OF the funeral, but il will prob
ably be on Thursday next. Cabinet
communications with the Prince of
Wales and the queen on the plan of in
terment have elected an expression of
feeling from the Prince of Wales against
any ceremonial ponp.
The Prince Of Wales and family will
not appear in public life for year to
come. The Princess of Wales, after the
funeral is going to some secluded spot
in the south Of Europe with her daughter.
Both are ill delicate health and their
condition is now the source of increased
anxiety t. the family. The death Of the
duke ef Clarence has recalled the fact
that he was born prematurely and that
he always lacked the ROBUSTNESS of Prince

It does notsee to be, wholly certain
that Rev. B. L, Whitman will accept the
presidency of Colby University. Few
pastors who have occupied Portland pull
pits have been more beloved by their
congregations than is Mr.. Whitman by
the people of Free street. His pastorate
has so far been very successful; and the
members of the church feel that for him
to leave at the present time will be very
detrimental to the interests of the
church. In his sermon last Sunday he
referred to his election in a manner
which seemed to indicate that he wished
the church to express their opinion.
This they did in their meeting of last
Monday evening. The discussion in this
meeting was exceedingly earnest, and
the sentiment was overwhelmingly in
favor of the resolutions urging him to re-
main-no one opposing, in fact. Suisse
quent consideration ON the part of the
members of the church has not dimin-
ished their reluctance to part with Mr..
Whitman. They feel not only that the
interests of their own church call for
him to remain; but also that the pulpit
of the Baptist denomination should not
be robbed of man who promises to be
one of its brightest lights, even if that
man is to go to another department of
the work of the Baptist denomination.
Tomorrow Mr.. Whitman will preach
at the Court street Baptist church in
Auburn, exchanging with Rev. Mr..
Towne. So it is not certain that that the
announcement of his determination,
which is expected very soon, will be
made at the services tomorrow.

Yesterday the Portland police took a
course Of action which will seriously in
terfere for time at least with the 1abors
of 'Rev." Nelson 4. Guenthner, who
has been managing religious institu-
ton known as the Union Hall mission
on Free street. Mr.. Guenthner is said
to be native of Waldoboro, Me-. where
he started out as a galvanic physician.
He Idrifted to New York, and there
joined the Salvation Army. 1t was as
Salvationist that he came to Portland.
But for some reason he did not get along
well in the Army, and about nine months
ago started his independent mission in
Union Hall. He seems to have called
about him considerable number of
young people, especially young girls, if the
reports of the police are to be believed.
The charges upon which Guenthner
was arrested was for assault, and is pre-
ferred by the parents of Ida Hutchins,
the 16-year old girl whose disappearance
last Sunday and subsequent temperance
have been related. 1t has been ascer
tanned that she was at the Mission while
her parents were searching for her.
Guenthner will be brought before the
police court this morning to answer to
the charge of assault.
