QUEEN vICIOKIHs CONDITION.

Emily Crawford Says the Aged Queen

NEW YoEK, March 25-A London cable
to The World says that Mrs. Emily Craw-
ford contributes to last weeks Truth the
fr-t public mention of Queen Victoria's
serious condition, concerning which there
is much private discussion Mrs. Craw-
ford writes that on her arrival at the rail-
way station at Nice the queen seemed
unable to raise her head. She looked up
and around under heavy eyelids, as if
wanting strength to look otherwise. One
might have Thought she did not feel her
feet under her a., with the assistance of
her servants, she tried to descend the
sloping gangway from the train into the
station"
II is well known among those familiar
with court affairs that rheumatism Of the
knees has lately not only developed COM
p.cte loss of power over both the queens
legs, but has extended TO the back and
arms, and that fatal issue is to be feared
at almost any time.
The reports of the queens condition Sc
riously affect the parliamentary situation.
With the death of a sovereign parliament
is Immediately dissolved. This contin-
gency is undoubtedly an important factor
in all the present calculations The pclit-
ical atmosphere, in fact, is charged with
sensational possibilities.
The condition of the health of Lord
Rosebery is not changed, but there is no
question that he is seriously i'll and that
the complications of the political situation
are such rs to deprive the premier of the
cSergy necessary To fight difficult and
delicate questions. Under these circum-

widest rumors are circulated and that
many people are turning their thoughts

HID HIS FORTUNE IN THE STOVE.
And Now Asks Uncle sam to Redeem
What There Is Left.

CINCINNATI, March 2o.-Benjam Mil
Ter, "a mechanic has asked the sub-treas-
ury TO redeem the remains of 1855. Fer
years he had been putting his savings in
building association. In anticipation
of payment on his home he drew his
money, receiving $3.50 in notes and Si65 in
gold. He placed 1t in the top of an un-
used stove. He was Mortified on return
ing home To ind that his wife had built a
fire in the stove.
On cxtinguishinS the fire the gold was
found well done-lIke copper coins found
in Pompeii-but the paper money, beng
in a tight roll. looked like n lump OF char
coal. 1t was opened, however, and the in
side ends of the biiis were not entirely de-
stroyed. Enough of all the bills was
saved to get the entire batch redeemed at
face value by way of af,idavits sent to

One evening when he was feeling much
better We sat together and talked about
the Worlds fair. and he said We must see
all of it together. and that as his own
dear and gifted little wife should ex-
plain all the items of interest with which
he was not acquainted, from a historical
point of view.
And that was the last evening that
we We're together" said Miss Couzins,
with deep drawn sigh. "On the follow

ported it is entirely probable that our gov.
ernment will enter an energetic protest
against the arbitrary action OF the French
authorities
Waller is a citizen of the United States
and not French subject, and the officials
here cannot conceive by what authority
the French court-martial attempted to
assert jurisdiction over an American citi-
Zen not actively engaged in hostilities
against them. The ex-consul has many
friends in this country, some of whom
are influential. He was consul at Tama.
tave during the Harrison administration,
is a man of excellent business qualities.
and it is well known here that the
French concessionaires in Madagascar
have been doing their utmost to prevent
him from enjoying the fruits Of the VAL
liable concession which he obtained from
the Hova government by good manage
ment.
So far as our government is aware the
French protectoratc over Madagascar is
limited strictly to the regulation of the
foreign intercours, of the Hova govern
ment, and the right of the latter to con-
troll its internal affairs, including the
granting of concessions to individuals,
has never been questioned before. The
French proceeding is scarcely likely to be
tolerated by our government if the faO.s
are rs reported.
