contest with the Meteor, Britannia and such other famous craft. Once back at his palace in Turin, do you think the youth willing to enjoy a rest after his
 peregrinations to China. the South pole, Alaska and Newfoundland?
 No. He could see from his window, looming up some twelve thousand feet in the sky, the pyramid of Monte Viso, with the sun just disappearing behind it's icy pinnaces in the midst of a glim- mering range of lesser mountains, all clad in their winter garb. The tempta-
 tion to climb Monte Viso was too pow erful to be resisted. The vice-president of the Alpine club, Signor Gonnetta,
 saw at once that the best policy, in fact, the only alternative left, was to follow the youth up the mountain, and share with him the risks of such dar- ing enterprise,
 The party reached Crissolo in a rag ing snow-storm on the night of March
 8. At two o'clock in the morning of
 March the party started on it's peril-
 ous journey, led by three local guides, each carrying a lantern to make clear the path The rifugio, or shelter-hut, was reached at 2:40 in the afternoon, their progress being bitterly opposed by wind and binding snow. The mercury stood at twenty-two degrees Fahren- heit What with the roaring hurricane outside, the chill and the insufficient ac- l commodations inside, the climbers had a dreary night to pass-all except Prince Louis His highness had brought with him an Alpine sack of the q eder-down; and no sooner had he laid himself to rest than he fell sound asleep, never to wake up until the
 morning call of the guides. The diffi- culties which attended the ascent the next day may be judged by the fact tn that it took the party one hour to scale the last sixty feet. The top was reached at 1 :55 o'clock in the afternoon, and was left at 2:15 After passing an
 other dismal night at the rifugio, the prince reached Turin in triumph on the evening of the 7th.
 In such ways do the Savoy princes

Crowned heads have been of late somewhat restricted in their choice; I think they must be all cousins by this time. The neckname of
 "mother-in-law of Europe has been given to the old queen of Denmark, not
 withoutreason. Such alliances, follow ing round the same small circle, are not calculated to improve the race of rulers. Let us be grateful to Prince Victor Elm manuel for having chosen of his own free will, and not without opposition, a bride from the magnificent race of Mon tenegro.- Amadio in the Youths Companion.

MARYTUDoR, QUEEN OF ENGLAND
(From the Sixth Page.)

.(From the Sixth Page.)
 as we'll as abandoned in paroxysm of despair cut his portrait from the frame and trampled it under her feet
 She was brought upon a litter to Hampton Court-"which she ever loved the most of all her abodes"-in September, 1858, 'but grew the worse rather than better" as was to be ex- pected, haunted as palace and gardens must have been by ghosts from the ir- revocable past. She died in St. James palace, November 1T, of the same year. ''It was the custom for the body of an English sovereign to be buried in royal array, but Mary had earnestly entreated that no semblance of the crown which had pressed so heavily on her brow in life might cumber her corpse in death. She requested that she might be in- tered in the habit of poor religieuse.
 It is hard to breathe in all the glory and spaciousness of the State-rooms while we review the dreary, dreary tale.
 At the upper end of the great hall, where Henry VIII. danced with Jane Seymour and Katharine Howard, and where Katharine Parr was proclaimed queen, is a dais or platform, upon which Shakespeare and his company played in Elizabeth's time. Other and less au gust shades people it for us as we stroll pensively from one tapestried wall to the other, and picture to ourselves how the hall must look when closed for the night and but faintly ;llumined by the moonbeams struggling through the stained glass of the tall windows. An archway opening from the great stair case to the queens apartments in what a historian calls "the mysterious angle of Hampton Court was built up two centuries and more ago, for no other reason, said the superstitious gossips, than to impede the wanderings of Jane Seymour, who used to roam the galler- les and fit up and down the staircase, a lighted candle in her hand. We have been told to-day, in our round of the palace, that she has been seen here within a dozen years. Katharine How ard, when arrested in her own apart ;nents at Hampton Court and told that she was to be taken to the tower ran shrieking through the corridors, hair disheveled and dress disordered to the closed door of the chapel, where she knew Henry was then praying, and heat upon the panels with her hands, calling wildly upon her husbands name. She was torn away and borne to her death-'albeit she struggled vio- lently and her screams were heard by every one in the chapel" Since which time she has haunted the corridor-a distraught phantom with streaming hair, who cries frantieally to her royal lord for pardon and help. The nurse of Edward VI turns an invisible spin ming wheel and mutters to herself in the room once occupied by her.
 If foul wrongs done to woman while she lived. and merciless judgment neted out to her when dead, could re- call the departed, Great hall and bed- chamber and closet would be revisited daily and nightly by the sad wrath of her whose brief reign is like the stamp of a bloody hand upon the page of English history bearing date 155S-S.

Calm reason may not plead for Mary Tudor, but our hearts are sore with pity as we make hers the central figure upon our stage-frst, as the sweet faced translation of the Evangel of Love, petite in form, exquisite in com plexion, both wise and sage, and beau tiful in favor;" then the .sIighted wife, bereft' alike of the dream Of mother hood and husbands love; finally, broken in spirit and in health, hated by her husband as hated by her peo- ple," groveling, like a dying animal upon the ground for days together dumbly awaiting welcome death in the lordly rooms where she had spent her prophetic honeymoon.-Marlon Harland in Harper's Bazaar.

The educated Chi nese are doubtless equally insensible to the attractions of European culture, yet they are now to attempt to assimilate it by order of Kwang Hsu. It may be taken for granted that the vast major ity of lteratl will denounce and resist the change as fatal. not only to the in- terests of the public service and of the empire, but of civilization itself.-Lon- don Times.

LEAVING CAMP WIKOFF.

Government Not ID Dependcnt on Rail-
road Company For Transportation.
Washington, Sept. 1S.-Assistant Sec
retary of War Meiklejohn last night
gave out an extract from the proposal
from w. e. Baldwin, Jr., president Of
the Long Island Railroad company,
which has the contract for transporting
the troops from Camp Wikoff. He made
this public, the assistant secretary said,
to disprove that the government was
dependent on the Long Island railroad
alone for Transportation purposes,
when, as a matter of fact. any vessel
in the employ of the war department
could engage in the work. The follow
Ing Is the extract referred to:
This proposition to the government
is made upon the following condl-
tion, which l think reasonable and
proper in view of the great concession
in rates quoted and the large expendi-
lures necessary to provide the facll-
tiles required, viz: The military au-
thorities to agree that they will not
contract with or employ any other
carrier for transportation facilities be-
tween Montauk Point and New York
or Long Island points and that no YES
sci owned or controlled by private in
dividuals or corporations shall be per-
mitted to land at or use the present
or any future docks for passengers or
freight to OF from New York or Long
Island points without the permission
Of the railroad company, it being, how
ever, understood that any government
transport or vessels may discharge and
load troops or supplies at such docks,
and that any vessel may there take or
discharge passengers from or to other
points than New York or Long Island
with the permission of the military
authorities"

THE MAIEn ELECTION.
he Four Republican Congressman

The Four Republican Congressman
Re-elected without Effort.
Portland. Me-, Sept. 13.-The state
election yesterday resulted in the sue
cess of the full Republican ticket, as
follows: Governor Llewellyn Powers;
congressman, First district, Thomas Il.
Reed; Second, Nelson Dingley; Third,
Edwin c. Bureigh; Fourth, Charles A.
Boutele. The election was marked by
comparative apathy on the part of the
Republicans, who felt secure. while the
Democrats, taking perhaps little
more interest, with an apparent desire
to make a better showing than In 1894
OF 1896, put some vim into the cam
paign. the result of which was seen in
nearly every town.
The falling off of the Republican vote
was, however. anticipated by the party
managers, and while it was somewhat
lower than anticipated it gave them
no anxiety. and the loyal men of the
party readily explained 1t.
While the Democratic vote kept up
well with that of last off year, 1894, it
must be remembered that the vote that
year was a falling off of $1,000 from the
vote of the previous off year, 1890
The state elected a solid Republican
delegation to congress. The four con-
gressmen had little or no opposition.
although, strangely enough, Speaker
Reed had a vigorous opponent in MS
district--MCKi Kinney.
Mr. Dingley, whose majority eX-
ceeds 900, did not make speech dur
ing the campaign, confining his EFFORTS
to conferences with the committees IN

Ex-MINISTER DENBY'S VIEWS.
Says Our Government should Retain

Says Our Government should Retain
the Philippine Islands.
Washington Sept. 13.-Mr Charles
DENLY, former minister of the United
States to China, arrived here yesterday
from Pelting, and in the afternoon paid
his respects to the president. on leaV-
ing the White House Mr. DENLY, in
answer to inquiries, said that in his
judgment the United States should re-
tain permanent possession of all, or
practically all, of the Philippine ISL
ands. To surrender them to Spain
would be only to invite a controversy
and possibly a war among the Eu-
ropean nations for their possession,
and if the United States is to make
an effort TO secure any considerable
portion of the markets of the far east
the Philippines would be of very great
advantage to us.
Mr. Donby thought that the eastern
question had been practically settled
for the present at least. He did not
believe that there was anything in the
situation to justify the expectation of
a partition Of China among the powers.
Russia already had secured territorial
concessions which completely satisfied
all her desires in that particular di-
rection. and as trade and trade facili-
ties were the only objects of English
and German concern in China he saw
no good reason why they should desire
her ACKNOWLEDGMENT. In any event Mr..
DENLY said he did not look for any i'm
mediate change in the present status.

commissioners made known their po-
sition regarding the evacuation and
transfer of the island, in accordance
with their instructions from Washing

to make public at present, as pub
licity might lead to embarrassment In

possible, and our commissioners are
much satisfied with the way in which
their demands have been informally
received The adjournment gives the
