Victoria to Retire.

The rumor that Queen Victoria in.
tends to retire in favor of the Prince of
Wales is again current in London. 1t
is added that court circles are greatly
troubled regarding the condition of the
queens health. Such reports have fre.
quently appeared recently, only to be

seems that there may be some actual
foundation for the statements made.

Of Buckingham palace and Windsor

and noisy excitement, which several
times bordered ON actual riot, and
which almost precipitated personal col
lisions The Texas delegates headed
the opposition and clung to the middle
Of the road to the last.
The Populist Bryan managers decid.
ed early Saturday to disregard Mr..
Bryan's telegram of Friday and to
nominate him and straighten out the
tangle afterwards. They started out
to rush his nomination through before
any other candidate could be put in
the field.
General Weaver, Of Iowa, the Popu.
list candidate in 1892, in a mastery
address, placed Bryan in nomination,
and General Field, of Virginia, who
was formerly Weaver's running mate,
after a brief speech. moved to make
the nomination unanimous.
About fifty seconding speeches were
then made, and some of them were
both eloquent and brilliant
The middle-of-the.road contingent
insisted upon knowing at every oppor.
tunity whether, in view of his tele.
gram, Bryan would stand ON the plat.
form and accept the nomination. But
all these pointed questions were neatly
parried. Judge Green, of Nebraska,
and others, vouched for Bryan's sym.
pathy with Populistic principles, but
that was all the satisfaction the radi,
Gals could get.
A roll.call by states was taken, and
when it was completed, it was found
that Bryan had / 1,042 out of the / ,347
votes in the convention. Frank S.
Norton, of Chicago, was the only other
candidate. Ignatius DouDelly, Of Min.
nesota, and General Coxey, of Ohio,
were nominated, but their names were
withdrawn. Norton received BE- votes,
Debs 10, and Donnelly /. Norton got
the majority of the solid vote of Texas,
Michigan, Missouri, Rhode Island and
Wisconsin, and respectable portion
OF the votes of Alabama, California,
Kentucky, Illinois and Ohio.
The demonstration when Bryan was
declared to be the choice of the conven.
tion lasted fifteen minutes, and was
fully as enthusiastic as that rendered
the Nebraska man at the Chicago con.
vention.
Saturday morning motion was' in
troduced and carried that the national
committee be given plenary power in
all things CONNECTED with the party.

Several houses have been washed away,
