A HOWL OF INDICATION.
British Pubic Dsrdes Scheme to Make
tie Queens Son cemm1neer-M-
Chief of the N.Y.

LONDON, ENG, July lit has been
clearly indicated this week to the Queen
that the recent demonstrations OF affsc-
her family. She had set her heart upon
the appointment OF her son, the Duke of
ConDaught, as commander-in-chief of the
British army. A couple OF years ago. as q
step toward the realization of this hope,
she joined little scheme by which a
dearly beloved cousin, the old Duke of
Cam bridge, was fired out of his post, to
his great astonishment and publicly ex-
pressed indignation. The conditions of
tenure were at the same time altered. and
Lord Wolseley became commander-in-
chief for four years.
The present trouble has arisen from the
fact that Sir Butler, adiutant-general. is
about to retire. in accordance with army
regulations. In the ordinary course he
would be succeeded by Quartermaster-
General Sir Evelyn Wood, who ia turn
would become Communicating chief.
Desiring 10 secure the Duke of Con-
naughts earlier accession to the supre me
command the Queen suggested to Sails
bury that her son should now be ap-
pointed adjntant-general and there is no
doubt that the Premier complacently con-
sented to this arrangement and that the
Minister of War, Lord Lansdowne, also
fgreed. The way was thus prepared. An
innocent little paragraph was set in circu-
latien with view to ascertain how the
great British public aid military caste
would take it, and then quickly came the
dsllusion.
The suggestion that the Queens son
should be adjutant-generai has eiicited a
howl OF indignation that is really sur
prising, seeing that the Du ke is not at all
bad soldier and is a charming man.
Even the faithful Times has espcused the
cause of the malcontents and the ILL bred
Radical newspapers, as might have been
toreseen, have made nasty remarks about
the Dukes generalship.
Clearly the Queen will have to abandon
the scheme SO near 10 her heart and in
due course We shall be officially told that
there never was the least intention of su-
perseding Sir Evelyn Wood. The incident
is instructive. as demonstrating the limits
of monarchical authority in this country
and the power OF pubic opinion. The
Prince OF Wales, sbrewd and tactful man
OF the world as he is has doubtless made
a note of il.

a DIdBOLICA CkIME.
Vest Tfrainta Homan Murdered and
Cremofed ia Her Homo.

CTem0ted IA Her Home.
BREEDON, w. VA, July 17.-One of
the most dia bolical crimes ever perpe-
trated in this State took place last nigh,
when Mrs. Nancy J. Kllen was burned to
death In her residence. The tragedy was
disclosed when Mrs. Kilen's house was
discovered 10 be In flames. After con sid
erable hard work the fire was bdued but
not until the house had been almost de-
stroved.
IAN investigation of the ruins showed
that Mr.. Killen had perished in the
flames, for her badly burned body was
discovered. The appearance OF the body
caused a suspicion of foul play and a
closer Investigation revealed the fact that
the woman had been cruelty murdered.
Whoever committed the deed had securely
mai ed the door of the room III which the
body was found and had then set the
house on fire and escaped. There is as
yet no clew to his identity.
Whether the woman was first murdered
and her body burned with tie idea of con-
cealing the crime, or whether she was
burned alive in her prison cannot be told,
but it is generally believed that the latter
was he case. 1t is thought probable that
the deed was the work either of a robber
or OF some man who had first assaulted
the woman, but fire had destroyed all the
evidences IL the privions crime.

the solid ground, and after week of
digging they began 10 hear Stevens
hammer signaling to them.
Last night they had reached a depth
where they could hear the voice of the en-

the depths:

When at 1880 o'clock this morning the
miners reached their comrade he was
