GREAT NAVAL DISPLAY.

Review In victoria's Honor the Most Mag
niacent Ever Witnessed.
PORTSMOUTH, Eng, June 28.-The
most magnificent display of naval
strength ever witnessed occurred of
Spithead, the occasion being the grand
naval review held in honor Of the com.
pletion of the Goth year of the reign Of
Queen Victoria. The Prince Of Wales,
representing her majesty, reviewed
fine feet Of foreign warsMps, represent.
ing all the maratime nations of the
world, the proudest, strongest and
swiftest Of these craft being the United
States arpored cruiser Brooklyn, flying
the flag 81 Rear Admiral Miller. The
heir apparent also inspected about 80
miles Of British warships, in which were
165 fighting ships of different classes,
carrying about 800 heavy guns, manned
by over $4,000 men and of about $50, 900
tons in all.
Each maritime nation sent an admiral
in his flagship to witness the review.
They formed line abreast of tho Brit.
ish battleships, where they were favor
ably placed to compare their own naval
architecture with that of other nations.
Each nation sent its best available ship,
and magnificent display resulted.

HER LAST APPEARANCE.

Queen Has Probably Been Seen in Public
for the Last Time.
LoNpoN, June 29.-The queen has re-
turned to Dbndon for what is probably
her last public appearance in the me.
tropolis. 1tis said on fair official au-
thority that in future whatever func.
tions require royal presence will be at.
Wales as her representatives.
The queen thinks, so the statement
runs, that she has done enough. The
unexampled devotion and acception Of
her obligations to her people have after
60years, well won her rest, and in so
far as the sovereign can, she now pro-
poses to let the burden of responsibility
fall on those who must bear it when she
passes away.

Washington Onicials Question the Story Of
Reopening Of Indian Mints.
WASHINGTON, June 80.-The cable
gram from London giving the substance
Of an article to appear in The National
Review to the effect that the United
States monetary commission had met
with gratifying success In France and
stating positively that England will re-
open Its Indian mints and otherwise
contribute to an extended use of silver,
was read with interest by government
officials. They had known that the
commission was very cordially received
in France and that the commissioners
were greatly encouraged by the strong
and apparently increasing silver senti.
ment In that country, as the president
not long since received letter from
Senator Wolcott to this effect. The
statement that England is ready to join
in the movement to the extent Of re-.
opening her Indian mints isreceived
with many doubts. A copy of the
cablegram was shown to the president
and to Secretary Gage, but neither Of
them cared to express any opinion on it
beyond the statement that they feared

But . Cannon Cracker Can Pop and VIII
Do It at tho Right Time.
For what happened Reginald Slow
boy was certainly at fault. His prooras-
tination was the sole cause Of It He
deserved no sympathy, and yet the
blow seemed to rattle his very back
teeth.
There was Q quasi understanding BE-
tween him and Miss Cutting, but moth.
ing definite. He should have declared
his passion weeks before. He felt GER
tain that he loved her as woman had
never been loved before, felt equally
sure that she loved him. but whenever
the idea suggested itself Of asking hez
In plain, blunt English to become Mrs.
slowboy he found nervous prostration
treading close upon its heels.
The tragedy that drove him away In
shame and ohagrin occurred one Fourth
Of July night. They had been shootins
fire crackers and sending up roman can
dies contemporaneously with the entire
Cutting family for some time, but now
the coast was clear. Her father, her
mother; her sister and even her bother
some and ubiquitous little brother had
gone into the house for the night and
he and she were alone-alone on the
dark piazza He knew IL because his
nervous prostration told him 90.
For an hour he talked Of almost
everything except the subject nearest
his timid heart. He talked about the
weather and the tariff and the corn crop
and about numerous other subjects well
calculated to cause feeling Of drowsi-
ness in any healthy young woman.
He had one great cannon cracker left,
and he swung 1t to and fro and wound
the fuse about his finger for the entire
hour. At length, when the conversation
was percepttbly tagging and she was
oovertly yawning, he began to moralize
about the fire cracker.
''Strange, he said reflectively, "what
power there is concentrated In the pa
per tube I hold In my hand. This fire
cracker has no brain and yet think Of the
vast weight it can raise when exploded
under some heavy object. It is an imam
innate objeot-it knows absolutely moth
ing, and yet what wonderful thing II
can do!''
''some inanimate objects know more
than human beings" abe murmured
quietly, but there was quaver in her
voice. n. ,.
''Now really, you do not mean thai, T"
he cried.
Indeed do" she replied trif!e
sharply. "That flreoracker is an mani
mate object. It has no brain, a. you
say, and yet it knows more than some
men. When the time comes" she con-
tinued, rising to her feet and starting
for the door, "when the proper time
comes, that frecracker knows enough
