Queen Victoria in France,

(From lIarper's Weekly.)
Lord Salisbury, who left London for the
Riviera this week, is, 1 understand. in
worse health than is publicly believed.
Repeated attacks of influenza, overwork
and the abiding sorrow of Lady Sails
burys ill health have undermined Il con-
stitution never strong at the best of
times. He is sixty-eight years old. Lord
Salisbury takes little or no exercise. He
drives everywhere; and I remember the
late Lord Granville's CHEEKY warning to
the prime minister that if he continued to
use his brougham as much as he was in
the habit of doing, not only his health, but
the interests of the state would suffer.
The departure of Lord Salisbury has pro-
duced outspoken criticism on the subject
of his retention of the premiership and
the foreign secretaryship. 1t is, indeed,
extraordinary to the ordinary man that
in the vast circle of the British empire
there is no spot to which the sovereign,
the prime minister, the heir apparent and
the chairman of the cabinet committee on
defense could repair in order to recruit
their health, without resorting to the
territory of the one power with whom
England might be at war tomorrow. Much
feeling was expressed on the occasion of
the queens recent departure for Nice.
The newspapers were too discreet to say
anything in the matter. The opinion in
society, however, was widespread that
it would have been far better in the
present state of our relations with France,
had her majesty gone to Italy or Malta in
search of the sun Serious negotiations,
involving the issues of peace and war,
could scarcely be conducted with the SOW
ereign on French soil. If war were to
break out. her majesty would receive at
the hands of the chivalrous French ma
ton every courtesy. and no doubt her spe-
efal train homewards would be attended
by the president himself, who, with his
most courtly bow, would assure the

Still, that Is not the point. France has

territory, excluded our trade and com

consonant with the dignity of great ma

and the heir to the throne should all be

The poetry which has inundated the
newspaper offices since the Maine was
blown up, poetry with that fated vessel
as its title is beyond all description. 1t
seems as if everyone who ever wrote
verses. and some who have never done
such a thing before. had been seized with
a fit of longing to express the ineXpres-
sible. That disaster was a thing so ire
mendous In lis reality and its influence
that it would really take a genius-such
a genius as the chronicler of The Charge
of the Light Brigade" to do it any sort
of justice. 1t is a good thing. however.
that all these patriotic writers are SO
inspired by the event. The poems are
worth a great deal as expressions of pa
triotism. whatever may be their value
as literature. But it might not be a bad
thing to be n little more careful of
rhymes ard meters than some of the
poets are Metaphors also are often in
danger of being strained. When one of
the cleverest of newspaper versifiers
speaks for some reason or other of ''the
tyrant kneeling at our knee" he speaks
the thing which is not as the Kaffirs
say. There is no tyrant kneeling at our
knee at present, not even Mr.. Hanna:
Possibly Speaker Reed may come under
that head, but we doubt it. The tyrant
presumably meant is SPAIN and she is
not kneeling at anybody's knee. what
ever she may be liable to do in the fu-
ture. Her torpedo fleet has been out and

GIFT TO BERKELEY.
Miss Jennie Flood Presents a Nalu-
able Estate,

A most munficent gift has been
made to the University of California
by Miss Jennie Flood. 1t consists of
the palatial Flood mansion at Menlo
Park, with the ornamental grounds,
consisting of $40 acres, together with
tract of land of about ], 200 acres and
four-fifths of the capital stock Of the
Bear Creek Water Company. Accord
ing to the estimate OF John w. Mac
kay, who was intimately associated for
many years in business with the father
of the donor, this gift amounts in
value to over three million dollars.
There Is but one condition attached to
it, and that Is a very easy one-in fact,
a condition that would in all probabil-
ity be carried out without any request
having been made in regard to II. Miss
Flood simply asks that the ornamental
grounds surrounding the mansion be
kept in good order within reasonable
area for period of fifty years. The
proceeds from the gift are TO be de-
voted to some branch of commercial
education. Ii is singular and happy
coincidence that the regents OF the uni
versity recently established CONNER
cial department in the institution, and
Miss Floods generous endowment will
enable them to carry out their ideas on
a most liberal scale.
The donation came as surprise to
all but few Of the regents, and, fol-
lowing the liberal gifts of Mrs. Hearst,
whose fortune, like that OF the Flood
estate, was derived from the develop
ment Of mining interests, will prove OF
vast benefit to the cause OF higher ed
ucation in California.
