when They strike Her Fancy Her Corre-
spondents often Get Personal Responses.
Although she has been 90 years n
monarch, Queen Victoria has never vet
got far away from the people. Few per-
sons realize that all sorts OF folk write
TO the queen, and, what Is more, that
she receives their letters herself. Some
of those that come 20 her are very odd
indeed. a few days ago missivc
reached her from little girl The child
addressed her missive to "the dear lady
queen" and told how her doll had fallen
into hole in n hill. The child wrote that
she supposed the doll had gone right
through, and. as she had heard that
the other side of the world belonged &c
the queen, she hoped the queen would
not find IL very much trouble TO give or
ders 20 have her doll safely returned 20
her.
IL has been n long time since the
queen enjoyed anything more than she
did this letter The quaint confidence
Of the child had it's own reward The
queen looked in<o the cnsc and found
the letter was written In the best OF
good faith. So she had doll sent to
the little one, whose strange ideas re-
garding the length OF the hole in the
hill were permitted to reign unchecked.
There was another letter not long ago
that greatly pleased the queen. IL was
from woman, who. like the queen, was
very old. and, unlike her. very poor.
II was q simple little missive, written
In a rough hand, and showing this
writer TO be very illltcrate. but Il was
full Of loving Kindness. II said the
writer had heard the dear queen was a
sufferer from rheumatism. so a remedy
that had aided the old woman, who was
poor. was inclosed in the hope that 4.
might benefit the greatest and richest
cid woman In the WORLDLY. Y. Jour-

FARRAeuT AT THE BospHoRus
No sultan Could Stop Him from Golng to
Constantinople.

No sultan Could Stop Him from Golng to
Constantinople.
The refusal OF the sultan to allow the
Bancroft 10 sail up to Constantinople is
not an unprecedented occurrence, and
it is strange that Minister Terrell did
not remind the Turkish government of
former experience II had with an
American slipe of war.
In October, 1865. Admiral Fnrragut
visited Constantinople. lie was in the
old Franklin, 5o-gun ship, now en-
ployed as receiving ship at Norfolk, and
in reply to his application for permits
sion 10 enter the Bosphorus with her,
he met with n prompt refusal. He was
told that the treaty of Paris expressly
provided that foreign vessels of war
should not enter that sea. Instead of
ucquiescing as the Bancroft seems 10
have done IN the like case the hero of
Mobile protested and informed the
grand vizier that IL was his purpose to
anchor his flagship off the city of Con-
stantinople. The Turks were shocked,
and council of foreign ambassadors,
representing the nations which had
been parties to the treaty OF Paris, was
called TO rebuke the impudent Amer
lean.
Neither Farragut nor our minister to
Constantinople, Il. JOY Morris, scared
worth q cent" Farragut declared that
in the Biographies he had studied IL
was nowhere stated that the Creator
had bestowed on Turkey exclusive do
minion over the arm of the sea which
divided Europe from Asia. T.. JOY
Morris reminded the divnn that the
Nevsld. n Russian 50-gun frigate, had
been allowed TO sail up To the city. To
this last argument Sultan Abdul Aziz
replied that the Nevski was command
ed by prince OF the blood. which made
all the difference. To this Farrngut
retorted that he commanded 700 sailors
who were all princes OF the blood in the
United States, and he emphasized his
purpose by lowering his royal nasts
and all his upper spars. This done. he
politely informed the port warden that
he proposed 10 do himself the pleasure
OF calling. In his flagship, on the follow
ing morning. The visit was duly paid
and the sultan informed Mr.. Joy that no
far as he was concerned the admiral
was welcome; that II was two OF the
foreign ambassadors who had objected.

dent Cleveland has ever written. The

POSTMASTERS IN POLITICS.
Many Complaints Against Silverites
President Cleveland Advises
Leniency.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The postmaster
general has received nearly a hundred
complaints against postmastersin Iowa
and Illinois who were charged with hav-
ing been "unduly active" in the late cam
paign. These complaints are made for
the most part by "sound money" Demo-
Gratis who were active in their respective
localities in the support of the Palmer
and Buckner ticket. These complaints
are not confined to Iowa aud Illinos, but
have also come from other states in the
middle west.
There seems 10 have been good many
free silver postmasters in that territory
who did not take kindly to the distribu-
tion through their offices of sound money
literature. Postmaster General Wilson
has called the attention of the president
to the matter, and Mr.. Cleveland has
suggested a conservative and lenient
course of treatment. few postmasters
may be dismissed, and many will no
doubt be "reprimanded." But it is said
at the postoffice department that the
com plants will be adjusted without any
forced exodus of postal employees.

Speaks of the Growing Influence

POWER OF TRUSTS MUST Be CURTAILED
Judge William B. Hornblower Looks
for Trouble If the Goldites Are
Not Allowed to Have Their
Own Way.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 26.-Something
of a stir was created among the gold
standard Democrats here last night by
the reading of q spirited letter from Hon.
David R. Francis, secretary of the in
terror, at banquet held in celebration OF
the recent defeat of free silver. After re-
ferring to the result of the reoent election
and declaring that in his opinion it solved
the financial question at least until the
existing standard shall have been given a
fair and thorough trial, Secretary Francis
said:
"While agree with the advocates of
sound money IN the fight recently made,
there are many principles advocated by
some of those who have been advocates
of that cause to which I can not subscribe.
If some legislation is not enacted to check
the growing influence of wealth and cir
cumscribe the powers of the trusts and
monopolies there will be an uprising of
the people before the century closes which
will endanger our very institutions"
ANEW YORK VIEW.
New York, Nov. 26.-The 1l3th ami
versary of the evacuation of New York by
the British, was celebrated by the New
York state society of the Sons of the Rev
olution at Delmonico's last night. The
principal speaker was William B. Horn
blower, who responded to the toast,
american Common Sense" He said in
part:
"What of the futures Suggestions are
made that old party lines must be aban-
doned and all men in favor of soond cur
rency and honest enforcement of public
and private obligations and maintenance
of law and order should combine in one
party against the elements of discomfort,
disorder and dishonesty. Such result
would be most unfortunate. If the day
shall come when all sober minded men
are on one side, all extremists and revolu-
tionists on the other side, lined up in
party alignments, the knell of Republican
institutions will have sounded. Our form
of government can not continue unless
there are two great parties who are di-
vided upon questions on which men of
sound judgment and honest principles
can fairly differ. 1 believe party lines
will be reformed, based on the same
general lines of division that heretofore
separated the two great parties and
thus and thus only can our institutions be
preserved"
