why the Niece OF william w. was
Called to the Throne.
Several newspapers, in explaining
to their readers how Queen Victoria
came to succeed William W., say it was
because she was his niece. That is the
truth, but only half the truth, for Will
liam ". had nephews and other nieces.
George His first, second, third and
fourth sons were respectively the prince
of Wales, afterwards George w., who
died childless in 1880; Frederick, duke
of York, who died in 1927, also without
children; William, duke of Clarence,
who died, William ", June 20, 1887,
without lawful issue, and Edward, duke
of Kent and Strathearn, and earl of
Dublin, who died January %, 1920, aged
SO, leaving as the sole issue of his mar
riage with Princess Victoria of Lem
ingen baby daughter, now Queen Vic
toria. The queen succeeded William
", not simply because she was his
niece, but because she was the only
child of the brother next to him in
the order of succession. Had Queen
Victoria had a brother, she would in
all probability not have been n person
age of historical celebrity, save in the
contingency of succeeding him. Her
rights were those that devolved on her
from her father. At the time she sue
ceeded to the throne her uncleS-the
dukes of Cumberland, of Sussex and
Cambridge were living, younger
brothers of her father and junior to
him in the line of succession in the or
der named. The duke of Cumberland
(who became king of Hanover on the
death of William IV.) was man of
such despotic temper and principles
that all England cherished the Princess
Victoria as standing between it and
his succession to the throne. He had
lawful issue, as had the duke of Cam
bridge. The duke of Sussex, a most
estimable man, married twice, but
these unions being repugnant to the
provisions of the royal marriage act,
his children were barred from the line
of succession. From the revolution of
1868 rose the Jacobite party, made up
of those who supported the cause of
James IL, his sons and descendants.
The picturesque modern Jacobites do
not recognize Queen Victoria, despite
the fact that her succession is due to
her Stuart blood, for she is a direct
descendant of Elizabeth, daughter of
James l., to whose heirs the title to
the throne devolved by the act of set
tlement on the death of Anne.-Boston

still maintain the position then taken
that the government cannot alter the
gold standard of the United Kingdom.
But they have in the interval consulted
the Indian government with regard to
the opening of the Indian mints, and a
reply has heen received, which, it is
understood, is strongly adverse to the
proposal. Owing to the difficulties
raised in India and the opposition in
other quarters, the cabinet felt that it
was unable sto give any immediate
order to reopen the Indian mints, but
it apparently is not indisposed to enter
into further negotiations, and it is ex-
pected that, as the outcome of today's
cabinet council, the United States COM
missioners will shortly have another in
terview with Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
and that the diplomatic negotiations will
be continued with the foreign govern
ments more Immediately concerned in

believed that the government has fully

WIN Not Enter a Monetary Conference.

VIII Not Enter a Monetary Conference.
LONDON, Oct. I6.-The British cabinet
this morning held it's first autumn meet
Lord Salisbury, presided, and all the
ministers except Lord James, chancellor
of the duchy of Lancaster; Viscount
Cross, lord of the privy seal, and Mr..
Walker Long, president of the board of
agriculture, were IN attendance. The
meeting lasted two hours.
It is understood the question of re-
opening the Indian mints for the coinage
of silver was not decided, but the matter
was discussed and will shortly form the
subject of further communication be-
tween the chancellor of the exchequer,
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, and the
United States monetary commission.
Further meeting with the American
commissioners will be held simply be-
cause previously arranged. at the cabinet
last week.
In regard to India, it may be regarded
| as certain that the mInts will not be re-
opened at present or until the Indian
authorities are fully prepared.
No more definite information can be
obtained with regard to the action of
the cabinet, but there is every reason to
believe that the governments policy is
as before stated-that it will not enter
into any international monetary con-
ference. Messages received from the
American commission say they have re-
ceiYed no Information with regard to the
action taken at the cabinet council to-
day, but they hear that statement will
be issued next week to the effect that
the government will make no suggestion
to the Bank of England, as to any altera-
tion of it's present reserve. The govern
ment cannot, in any event, do more
than make recommendation to the
| bank, so the statement that the bank
will be advised that it should maintain
full gold standard Is incorrect.
The press association sends out the
first semi-oficial statement tonight:
''The cabinet considered the subject
in pursuance of the pledges given in its
name by A. j. BaIfour, first lord of the
treasury, and Sir Michael Hicks-B Beach, J.,
chancellor of the exchequer, in the
house of commons when the resolution
favoring cooperation in securing a
stable monetary par exchange between
gold and silver was passed, The chan

PORTLAND, Oct. 17.-Hon. Thomas A.
Stephens, judge of department No. OF
the circuit court of Multnomah county,
died at his residence, zoe Johnson street,
at 8 80 yesterday afternoon, from nerv-
Gus prostration, due to overwork. He
had been i'll for three months. HIS wife
and two children, two brothers, and
Colonel F. V. Drake, his brother-in-law,
were present at the bedside when the
end came.
The death of Judge Stephens was not
unexpected. For the last two weeks he
has been very low, and his physician,
DIR. A. @. Panton, has entertained no
hopes of his recovery for several days.
DIR. Panton had frequently warned him
that unless he took longer rest he
would break down, but he persisted and
at the end of the last term of court his
health was badly shattered,
Early last summer he visited Cla!sop
beach, in the hope of finding relief.
His condition grew steadily worse, how
ever, and he returned to Portland very
sick man. On the advice of DIR. Panton,
he was taken to the Blue mountains,
where he improved for a few days, but
speedily began to sink again. He re-
turned to Portland two weeks ago, and
since that time there has been little hope
of recovery.
Hon. James A. Stephens, of San Fran
cisco, and Hon. George W. Sproul, clerk
OF the United States district and circuit
in M0nkono Tndno SfnnhnnS'
brother and half brother, were advised
of his serious condition by telegraph,
and fastened to Portland in time 10 be
present at his death.
Colonel Drake was in the Eastern Or
gen mines, and arrived but few hours
before the end came. His wife, Judge
Stephens sister, is in California.
Judge Stephens left wife and two
children, Thomas B. and Gertrude, both
grown. Beside the two brothers now in
Portland, a third, G. H. Sproul, is edi-
tor and publisher OF the EIko, Nevada,
Free Press.
Judge Stephens was member of the
Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, the
A. o. U. W., of which he was past grand
master, and various other orders; alsc
the Grand Army of the Republic, Null
torpor club, and other social organiza.

THE MYSTERY SOLVED.
Big Elk Creeks Victim a For
mer Wilmington Woman.
LIVED HERE FOURTEEN YEARS
SHE WAS MRS. JOSEPH ROBERTS
AND THERE WAS NO KNOWN
REASON FOR HER SUICIDE
MURDER THEORY ADVANCED.

Elkton, Md, Aug. 31.-The mystery
surrounding the woman who was
found dead in Elk creek was cleared up
yesterday so far as the coroner's Jury
is concerned, but there are number OF
persons who believe that the whole af-
fair has not been explained.
The body was identified as that of
Mrs. Mary Roberts, of No. 1127 Chapel
street, Philadelphia. The identification
was made by the husband of the
woman, Joseph Roberts, who heard of
the finding of the body and came to
Elkton yesterday morning. He said
that his wife had left home last Friday
afternoon about 4 o'clock, without say
ing where she was going. and that he
had heard nothing more of her until he
read Of the finding of the body in Elk
creek.
A jury of inquest was summoned by
Coroner Dean. A partial hearing was
had, and the jury tnen adjourned until
last night to await the arrival of the
daughter of the dead woman from
Philadelphia.
The daughter said that she and her
father left home last Friday morning
at o'clock to go to work in a factory
|
their arrival home they found a mes
sage written by her on a slate, saying
that she could not be happy and was
going away. She said that her mother
had been unwell for some time and had
often expressed a wish to go to Perry
vile, Md, where a brother of her hus-
band resides. Arrangements had been
made for the family to move to Perry
/ will IN 90, 10 rrafstr
little, if any, money with her, leaving
purse containing s43 in her trunk.
1t is not known by any of her family
how she came to Elkton. She left
home in time to take train which left
Philadelphia at p. m, and arrived
here an hour later If she took that
train no person saw her leave the sta
tion, though there are at least two per-
sons who claim to have seen a woman
crossing the bridge over Elk creek
about s p. m. There was no evidence
to this effect before the coroner's jury
A puzzling matter in connection with
the body is the condition in which il
was found, a condition that seems to
almost preclude the idea of suicide, yet
there is very little evidence to show that
death resulted from violence A post
. uOlltnl NAdAliudlllu was hlhut 9NcANi
day morning by Drs. lamar, Cooper
and Clemson. They found all of the
organs in normal condition, but sait
that the heart was empty Of blood anC
the lungs were free of water. In addi
tion TO this, there was very little fluiC
! in the stomach. The physicians testi
fed that with very few exceptions
where death resulted from drowning
the lungs were filled with water anC
more or less water found It's way into
the stomach.
Besides these conditions, the face O
the dead woman was found to have
been cut in several places. The wounds
were clean cut and were apparently
, made with some sharp instrument
, One of the wounds extended about tive
inches on the left side, from the corne
of the mouth. Another was over thu
right eye, and the other two were be
3 meath the chin. In one ear was foun'
an earring. which had been torn nearl.

DEATH DURING A BATH.
SAD CASE OF MISS TATUM, AT
CAPE MAY.

HEART DISEASE WHILE SWIM
MING IN THE SURF-TO BE
BURIED ACCORDING TO THE
SERVICE OF FRIENDS.
The most distressing accident of this
season at the seashore to befall Will
mington pleasure-seekers became gem
orally known to-day. II occurred to one
of a merry party who embarked from
Wilmington only yesterday on the
steamer Republic, bent upon a days
relaxation at Cape May.
Miss Elizabeth r. Tatum, daughter
of John r. Tatum, whose residence is
on Lancaster avenue near Greenhill,
arrived at Cape May City early yester-
day afternoon with her party from the
steamer Republic and asked them all
to 90 in bathing as the surf was fine.
Her friends refused TO don the bath
ing suits, but willingly consented to
wait there for her while she tried the
surf. Miss Tatum was an excellent
swimmer and moved about in the water
for some time.
Finally she disappeared from view
entirely, and the friends on the beach
we're almost dumb with alarm as nc
sign Of her could be seen.
After much effort the body was re-
covered and a physician was hurried
down to the beach to resuscitate the
young woman If possible. He found
however, that she had died from heart
disease, resulting from the excitement
I'm the water. She had suffered from
the malady before. A very mournful
party brought the body back to Will
mington last night
Miss Tatum's funeral will take place
on Friday morning Services conduct
ed by members of the Society OF
Friends will begin at the house in Sill
verbrook at II o'clock. Interment will
be made in Wilmington and Brandy
wine Cemetery.

to the bottom of the lobe. The lobe of
the other ear was torn entirely down,
and the earring was missing.
No reasonable theory could be offered
for the condition of the body. 1t was
suggested that the absence of water in
the lungs and stomach was due to the
woman having had an epileptic fit after
she entered the water. 1t was shown
that she had been subject to epilepsy.
The theory was advanced that the
wounds on the face might have been
made by pieces Of tin in the bed of the
creek or by the face being caught in the
roots of tree which grows on the
margin of the stream. No reason could
be advanced for the condition of the
ears.
In view of the conflicting nature OF
the testimony, the verdict of suicide is
probably the proper one to have been
reached by the jury, but there are
numbers OF persons here who believe
that he woman was murdered. If they
are right in their belief, no known mo-
tive for the crime has been suggested.
The woman is not known to have a
single enemy. Her life was not insured
and she had no property that would
benefit any one by her death.
