English Queen Promised Hostile
Reception In France.
ATTACKED BY THE PRESS
MAY MEET TEE FATE OF THE
MAINE,
But Her Majesty Purposes to Visit
the Enemy's Country and viii Be
Conveyed By Eight Torpedo Boat
Distinguishes of Her Trip
Prince of Wales Criticised.

London, March 4.-The arrange
ments for Queen Victoria's de-
parture for the Rivera next Thurs
day have been completed. Her
majesty will travel to the south of
France by way of Boulogne-sur-Mer'
instead of via Cherbourg, being the
first time she will have visited bou-
losne since the Crimean war
some interest is taken in the fact
that the queens yacht will be conveyed
by eight of the fastest torpedo poaI
destroyers in the British navy, nVe OF
them being thirty-krot boats cruisers
have previously been employed Tor TINS
duty, and the use of destroyers, II Is
limited in some OF the papers, is intend
ed to set off the French papers la4h
about submarine torpedo boats.
There is much Indignation in England
at the scandalous and coarse attacks
made upon queen Victoria by some Oh
the newspapers of Paris this week. Inc
Libre Parole, in an insulting arucie,
said: Frankly, the queen VIII pc wen
advised if she does not come TO fraHce
this spring. The constitutional notion
that il was Lord Salisbury and not the
queen who inflicted the outrage OF fa-
shoda and the humiliation of Muscat
on France will not suffice. 1t Is Wen
known that the queen has drecled
England's policy throughout her long
reign, and she has never missed an
opportunity of displaying her antlpalhy
for France. Under the circumstances
therefore. her visit is an addluonal N
suit and defiance of public opinion.
After this warning it will only be her
own fault il she meets with hostile
reception in France"
COMPARED TO THE MAINE.
NJ. Cassaignacs Autorile says: The
queen becomes our guest at moment
when the British government has made
itself more than ever our enemy. Hef
Journey will be full of the same RISKS
as the Maine incurred in entering u
ban waters, and the French govern
ment is committing the same fooish
act as Senior Sagasta sy not prevent
ing France from being placed in such
position that the smallest accident
might precipitate both powers into q
terrible conflict.
After such insinuations as the tore-
ging, it seems possible that the queens
visit to France viii not pass without
some Chauvinist incident. A special po-
lice staff has left Paris to watch over
her majesty at Cimiez, where her heavy
baggage is already arriving
Queen Victoria pays $4,000 monthly
for her own rooms, without counting
the expenses of her suite, numbering
sixty persons. Altogether her little
trim will cost her about SIS, 600. Her
chaise. favorite white donkey and num-
bers of pet dogs and birds have been
sent ahead. Her majesty also has a
.,curious whim about sleeping in her own
bed which is taken with her wherever
she goes.
PRINCE OF WALES CRITICISED.
The Prince of Wales went to Paris
this week and visited The exposition
grounds. He proceeds TO Cannes on
Sunday. The princes wonderful
scheme. known as the League of Mercy,
in connection with which a new order
has been established for those who col
lect and promote the collection Of sub
scriptions for the Prince Of Wales hos
pital fund. five years work being re-
cur ed for admission to the order, Is
severely criticised in several quarters.
The Daily News thinks the prince has
not been fortunately advised il COM
hitting himself ana in securing The
sanction of the queen to such scheme.
The paper calls it an Organization CT
snohocracy by the aristOcracy, which
is repugnant to the idea of charity and
not calculated to add to the dignity CT
the throne"
The annual report upon recruiting for

him as favorable to themselves. For

meaning of these mysterious move
