WHICH ONE WAS IT.

The following story was told n Times
reporter yesterday by an intimate friend
OF the gentlemen concerned and for which
he vouches. On Thursday Louis Scholtx
and John Geiser, OF this city, hired u
wagon, secured two fine bird dogs and
started off on hunting trip in the neigh
borhood of Bonsack After hunting all
day and not Having as much as seen
eIthera bird or n rabbit they started
home, with theiI fine ~ dogs tied in the
wagon, ina very bad humor with the
world in general and nothing in particn-
lar. On the WAY nome they met n man
with live rabbit, and. thinking that it
would never do 70 20 home without any
game ut all, they bought 1t for Is cents
and tied its hind legs together and then
to fence. Ole of them then proceeded
to Kill it and shot at it four times and
after the smoke had cleared away no rab-
bit was to be seen, much to the chagrin of
both parties and especially the one shoot
ing.

tory OF England a genealogical cable OF
the royal line. After pulling for q long
time over Tie branches OF the tree, Victoria
looked up with "a surprised face.
II cannot see, she said, who is 70 come
after Uncle William, unless it is myself"
The baroness then explained to hex that
she was indeed heir to the throne
1T is very solemn thing, said the hill /.
There is much splendor, but there IS adlch
responsibility But / Will be good - The
baroness in after years wrote out the story,
and the Queen added on the margin cf the
page this additional Renaissance: II cried
much oil hearing it, ~
When the Princess was seventeen years
old she first met the Prince, whoru her
mother and Uncle Leopold had selected as
future husband. The young COUSINS
were nearly of an age, and had been edu-
Gated in the same way They saw much
of each othe-. danced together at balls in
kendngton Palace, and were So strongly
attracted to each other that the match
makers hardly needed to exert any infIu-
enCe upon them. Prince Albert, when he
left England. wrote frequently to the
Princess, and sent her many tokens Il his
travels. The Princess soon confessed
that she was warmly attached to lin, and
when, soon after, she succeeded TO the
throne, his congratulations affected her
more deeply than any other.
In childhood she was known as Alexan-
drina Victoria, and it was taken for grant
ed that as Queen she would be know "A by
both these names. So in the printed forms
of oaths to be signed by all the members of
Parliament she was so described. But at
the last moment il was observed that in
signing her first official document she
had simply written the one name, Victoria,
because, as it has been explained, she was
too timid and nervous to write more. So
ell the Parliamentary papers had to be
changed correspondingly, and she became
known for all time as Victoria. Another
beautiful ard characteristic incident should
also he recalled. 1t was in the first year
oe her reign court-martial was laid be-
fore her by the Duke of Wellington for her
signature 1t was a death warrant, the
first she had ever seen, and she shrank
from sign1ngit.
''Have you nothing to say on behalf OF
this man" she asked, with tears IN her
eyes Nothing; he has deserted three
times" replied the duke. "Ohi Your
grace, think again. well, your majesty,
he certainly is a bad soldier; but there was
somebody who spoke as to his good Charac-
ter. He may be good fellow in private
life.'' ''Oh, thank you" replied the Queen,
and she wrote the word, ''pardoDed''
across the awful parchment, and beneath
it her royal signature.
At her wedding the Queen wore no crown,
but simple wreath OF orange blossoms.

A LAND COMPANY SUED.

One of the Creditors Asks for Re-
ceiver and an Accounting.
Suit, asking for the appointment Of a re-
cover 70 collect all assets and pay all
debts Of the Palisades OF the Potomac
Land Improvement Company organized
for the purpose OF buying and selling land
in the District Of Columbia, was filed
today by Mrs Martha Reed, through her
attorney. Reginald Fendall.
The suit is brought to enforce q judg-
ment Of $40 500 and costs awarded TO the
plaintiff en- May last, which she alleges
she has been unable to collect.
The bill Of complaint states that the
company has no property within the Dis
trict OF Columbia upon which an execution
can be levied, and that the plaintiff, with
out the aid OF the court, is remediless, but
that certain lands. in which the company
has a valuable interest, are held in secret
trust by StilsOn Hutchins and Edward b.
COttrell, officers of the company. who
are made co-defendants in the suit.
1t further alleges that the cOnveyances
Of the lands to the said Hutchins andCOtt-
relI were procured colIusively by the Off
GERS Of the company. cOnSpiriDg together
for the purpose of hindering. delaying and
defrauding the creditors Of the defendant
corporation.
The hill concludes with the statement
that the Palisades of the Potomac Company
has become heavily involved by reason Of
its real estate transactions in the Dis
trict of Columbia: that il is now insolvent,
and that It's affairs should, in Justice to
its creditors, as well as for the pro-
lection Of its stockholders, be administered
by the court through the agency Of its
receiver
The plaintiff, appearing both for her
self anil all other creditors of the company,
therefore prays that receiver be APP
pointed, and authorized and instructed "a
collect all of the assets OF the defendant
corporation, and that the same shallbe app
piled to the satisfaction of the PLAINTIFFS

But from the beginnlngof the Victorian era
in 1882 down to the present day the Queen
has had a constant and oftena considerable

thing. All the springs of foreign and do

Elizabeth the last and almost the great
est OF the TudOrs, held in her hands all
through her life the threads Of state policy.
She was twenty-five years old when she
succeeded Mary. Victoria came TO the
throne at seventeen. Elizabeth had lived
in fear Of death, ever winding in and out
Of the labyrnths OF intrigue, which in
those davs were so often questions of life
and death. She had TO consider whether
she would abandon her tile to the crown

nation Given of the ResuIt-Situ-
alton Regarded as Serious.

The Cabinet session today was TIE long
est that has been held during the present
Administration. Nearly all Of the tirue
was devoted to a discussion of the japan
csc protest against the annexation treaty
with Hawaii.
1t cannot be concealed by the Govern
ment, and, indeed, the members Of the
Cabinet made no attempt 70 conceal the
fact that the protest is considered a very
serious diplomatic affair.
The protest, an excellent resume OF
which appeared in this mornings Times,
Is considered to bc nothing but a cOur-
teOuSIy wOrded threat upon the part Of
Japan, that she Will insist on either the
surrender Of the proposition to annex Ia
wall. or VIII insist upon debating GER
tain provisions to he inserted n the treaty
v hich viii meet the objections pointed out
in the protest
Not a single member Of the Cabinet would
make known the conclusions, if any, tha5
were reached at the meeting. aud from
what was gathered there is reason for
believing that a conclusion was not OBJ
talnCd and that the discussion viii be
continued Friday next
There are no grounds for believing that
the Cabinet is not Unit in favOring the
annexation treaty. but it is understood
that there is difference OF opinion as
to what shall be done with the Japanese
protest
After two hours discussion Of the an
nexatiOu and protest, the Cabinet talked
about Cuba and Gen WOOdford' 5 mission %
Spain.
