and, in alliance with France and Tur-
key, compelled the st. Petersburg gov
ernment to give up it's intention of seiz-
ing Constantinople. In 1866 she
entered into war against China and
Persia, both Of which countries were
eventually compelled to accede to Brit
aims demand. The mutiny Of the In
dian army, in 1857, was suppressed eff
fectually at her request, hut she after
ward instituted many reforms in her
Asintic empire, thereby preventing a
repetition Of the horrors of the flfties.
Humanitarian enterprises Of every de-
scription received her active support,
both as q woman and as a sovereign;
and the great railway system of the
United Kingdom was established with
her direct assistance. Like almost every
other old-world ruler, the queen has
repeatedly been the mark of would-be
assassins. The first attempt ON her life
was made by Edward Oxford, who dis
charged two pistols at her and Prince
Albert, as they were proceeding up
Constitution hill in an open phaeton
from Buckingham palace, June 10, 1910.
He stood within a few yards of the car
riage, but no one was injured. Oxford
was sent to an insane asylum and Get
at liberty in 1868, on condition of going
abroad. On the 27th of June, 1850, q
fellow named Pate tried to initiate OK
ford, but the queen escaped unharmed.
On February 90, 1871, Arthur O'Conpor,
q boy 1s years of age, entered Bucking-
ham palace with an unloaded pistol, and
threatened to shoot the queen. He was
apprehended and sentenced to i'm
prisonment and flogging. The last at
tempt at assassination was that by Ro-
derrick Maclean, who, on March 10, 1882,
shot at the queen at the Great Western
railway station at Windsor. He was
committed for high treason. Some
what more pleasant than these occur
rcnces was the queens experience with
an eccentric miser, named John Cam
den Neild, who was so pleased with her
personality and public acts that he be-
Gueathed to her the sum of e 250,000 on
August 80, 1852.

CHINESE HIoHBINpERS.
Bitterness of the Vendetta Shown In a
Recent Incident.

Recent Incident.
The bitterness of the vendetta of
local Chinese merchants was shown re-
Gently in the arrival and warlilse prep
arations of 13 of the most notorious
hatchet men III the state. The appear
ance of these bighbinders and the an
nouncement that the price held upon
the heads of Joe Gar and Lee Nee Toy
had been increased to 81 COO caused the
greatest excitement in the district. The
news spread rapidly and agents of both
sides were on the streets, at the police
stations and at the Chinese consulate.
1t is claimed that the highbindcrs have
been brought to this city by Lee Zip
Duck. the Chinese merchant and
gambler, who instigated the expulsion
of the prescribed merchants from their
society, and at whose door it placed
the blame fer all the recent dis
trrbances, including the murder of the
Chinese clamdiggers.
Four Chinese have reported to the
authorities that they overheard a con-
versation in which Lee Zip Duck guar
anteed to pay 81, 900 for the life of either
Joe Gar or Lee Nee Toy. These men are
willing 70 swear to their statement and
insist that series of new murders is
being planned. Most of the Chinese
highbinders who arrived in the city are
from Fresno. They belong to the Bow
on-Tong, the most notorious and most
powerful highbinders' society in the
state. Among its members are the most
desperate Chinese criminals in Califor-

Grent Odds.


rhcy tsit to t.,o Death In the Face o?
Great Odds.
The ,ervisaes have lost nothing of
their old valcr. They heed death as
little as ever. saw them, says writer
in the London Times, stand undismayed
in the open and fight with dogged de-
termination in the face of our deadly
volley fire; they fought on with rife
ard spear and knife when charged by
the cavalry; each wounded dervish, as
he lay bleeding TO death on the ground,
was u dangerous and treacherous foe
until he had breathcd his last. They
even did what some authorities have
denied that any troops, however brave.
would ever do--they stood in groups
firing steadily into our ranks while our
Maxim guns poured their streams of
bullets on them. moving them down
like grass.
Goubt whether any other men in the
world would have stood. as these men
stood, for nearly two hours, against
such fearful odds as were opposed to
them. sut. If ore may judge from this
fight, the dervishes have changed their
old tactics; they have. TO great extent.
abandoned the reckless rush of spear
men which used TO distinguish Soudan-
ese warfare. and rely more on rifle fire,
in which their practice has considerably
improved. IF trained and disciplined
(but II is very doubtful whether that
savage beast of prey. the Baggnra, ever
could he traincd) these men would make
magnificent infantry. They display now
as much amazing GOODNESS when acting
Oil the defensive as they did in their
furious charges of former campaigns.

THE PRINCE OF WALES.

pected any day. 1t is hardly probable,
however, that the queen contemplates
abdication. She is woman of re-
markable pride and, in spite of physical
debility, great stickler for etiquette.
Should she decide to rid herself Of the
cares of state she will insist upon re-
naming queen and the prince of Wales
will perform her functions possibly un-
der the title of regent, but he will not
become king of Great Britain as long as
his mother may live.

Albert Edward, Prince of Wales.

Should the prince Of Wales be ap-
pointed regent, as has been reported,
he would be the real head of the ma
ton, except in name. And he would
be the most popular male ruler Eng
land has had for nearly century and
q half. Albert Edward was born in
buckingham palace November 8, 1S41.
He studied snder private tutors, passed
one session at the University of Edin-
burgh, spent g. year at Oxford, and
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1896-08-21

pursued four-years' course of study
at Cambridge. In 1858 he was made
a colonel in the British army and de-
voted some time to the study of mill
tary tactics in camp at the Curraugh.
Two years later he visited Canada and
the United States, being received in
both countries with great enthusiasm.
The position of heir-apparent is never
a pleasant one. Its incumbent cannot
take part in politics, and tradition for
bids him to participate in the affairs
of state. These conditions in measure
wrecked the princes life, which has
been of an ornamental character alto
gether. Among the sporting fraternity
of the continent he is known as high
roller" This sobriquet he has earned
by years of devotion to the gaming
table and the betting ring, two pas
times which have frequently placed
him in financial straits. Parliament
relieved him several times, as did also
wealthy friends, among them the late
Baron Hirsch, who bequeathed to his
ltighness $1,000,0o0 in unpaid notes.
The only serious pursuit which he has
followed is freemasonry, his craftsmen
having repeatedly honored him with
election to the grandmastership of
England. On March 10, 1863, the prince
married Princess Alexandra of Dem
mark. Their married life has not been
without bitterness. The princess, like
all the other girls of the Danish royal
family, was brought up to, look upon
lapses of oil kinds with horror, and
the innumerable scandals with which
her husbands name has been connect
ed are said to have soured her naturally
sweet disposition. Among the women
of England the princess of Wales is
immensely popular, as she is not only
| . model wife but at the same time one
of the best dressers in Europe.

Second In Succession.

Next in succession to the prince of
Wales is George, duke of York, who was
born June 3, 1865. He is the second
child of the prince and princess of
Wales, their eldest son, Albert Victor.
having died January IA, 1892. Albert
Victor was engaged to Princess Mary
of Teck, and after his death George
took his place not only in the line of
succession, but also as the bridegroom
of his fiancee, the marriage occurring
on July Q, 1898. The duke of York is
known as ''the sailor prince" and is
well liked, although he is said to be far
from perfect in his manners or morals
