London. May 23.-Theh gathering of
the royal family at Windsor castle to-
morrow t, celebrate the s0th birthday
of Queen Victoria will be the largest,
with the exception of the jubilee gath
ering, that has assembled there in many
years. Not only will four generations
in succession be present, but there will
be a great gathering of the children
and grandchildren of her majesty. The
programme will open with serenade,
Madrigal sung by the choral socie-
ties In the quadrangle of the castle at
10 o'clock in the morning. This will be
followed by the presentation of ad-
dresses and rose buckets by the royal
welcome holders, parade of the Sec

ing of a feu de joe, Thanksgiving SER
vice in St. George chapel and per-
Torrance of "Lohengrin" in the eve
ming in the Waterloo chamber of the
castle, in which the entire Covent Gar

don't know that we blame them SO very
much for hesitating. What little un-
tutored judgment they have is prone to
assert itself in hostility toward our
schemes and to awaken doubt in their
minds as to the policy of yielding to
our superior force. Put yourself in
their place-how many men among
these dozen millions of darkened beings
are in position to accept the theory
that the American master is better
than the Spaniard? How many of them
know the difference between SPANS
regency and our presidency?
At the same time these natives will
enough to know, by that of which they
have already had a foretaste. that, at
any rate, our side carries the most guns.
And General Otis apparently is of the
opinion that this dispute, if settled
within reasonable time, must be de-
cided on the basis of letting the side
win that has the heavy artillery. AS
a part of yesterdays news from Ma
Mia statement comes to the effec.
that these Filipino triflers have ex-
hausted the patience of General Otis
and that he is finding irksome the de-
lays which are made possible by the
pacific policy which the peace commits
sioners are pursuing.
1t transpires that the unpleasant
duty is devolving on President McKin-
ley of choosing between Otis and his
commission. The commanding general
is impatient to be up and at the enemy:
in view of all that has happened, that's
not strange. The inference is that the
president will take the side of General
Otis. The country will remark on the
fact that Dewey hadn't been long gone
before Otis and the peace commission
ers got at odds.

Mountain in its understand
ing of the Miners recent ref
erences to City Attorney Lamb.
The Miners confession that it opposed
confirmation of this officer on personal
grounds is so plain that man may

evidence is we'll enough in its way.
Yesterday the Inter Mountain said:

business, in order to punish a man for
not voting for Mr.. Clark for senator,
when he was elected as an avowedly
anti-Clark man and merely carried out
the instructions he received at the polls
on that issue, was to court disaster in
the end
That's just about the size of it. And
this talk is the more timely for quota
ton because, first, the Inter Mountain
is a newspaper that united with the
Miner in the recent vain effort to de-

also, secondly, because the Inter Noun

WEDNESDAY, MAY "a, 1899.
TWELVE PAGES.
The Eightieth.

IN every cline and in every land you
can find communities where this
May "a will be joyfully celebrated
as the eightieth birthday of Queen Vic
toria. 1t is indeed a notable day in that
1t marks another milestone in reign
that has been prolonged so far beyond
the average length.
4 We are apt to regard Francis Joseph
as a venerable sovereign. He assembled
the throne when he was eighteen years
old, but he was a lad of eight years
when Victoria was crowned. We get
good basis for comparison by remem-
bering that Martin Van Buren,, dead
nearly forty years. became president of
the United States in the year of the
coronation of the queen, and that all
the men who figured in American pub
lie life at the time have been nothing
more than a memory these many years.
To have lived so long is simply one of
the manifestations Of Queen Victoria's
proverbial good luck-she has been ia
vored with her share of that When she
was six months old an amateur sports
man fired a shot through her nursery
window that, came. within a hairs
breadth of her devoted head When
she was 10 sudden gale arose while
she was at sea with her mother. and
dislodged the topmast, which came
crashing down to the spot whence she
had been snatched by pilot barely a
second before. Five attempts to muir

her more harm than a bruise.
But the greatest luck of any was in
being queen at all and being born on
English soil, for Victoria was only the
niece of William w, and her father,
the Duke of Kent, was only the fourth
son of poor old George III. In the ordi-
nary course of nature she was many,
many removes from the throne, but she
seems to have had all the stamina that
belonged to the children of her fathers
elder brothers, as well as her own por-
ton, for they dwindled away as fast as
they We're born.
The annals have it that almost in
yariably the weather is fine when the
queen is announced for public appear
ance. We do not know how it is going
to be in London. but If the weather is
fine enough to be favorable for the
Birthday celebrations that are an

world, Montana will wish that Provi-
dence might so order things as to let
the queens birthday have an uninter-
rupted run from now till Thanksgiv-

MERRlTT's EuLoGY OF ALG.R.
New York's Sons of the American Revo-
luton Don't Like 1t at All

New fofk's Sons of the American Revo-
luton Don't Like It at All
New York, May 23.-The Empire
State Society of the Sons of the Amer
can Revolution held meeting tonight
to consider the national banquet in De-
troIt where Secretary Alger was eulo-
gized. Robert Roosevelt presided.
Judge Warren Higiey read the report
Of the delegates to the national meeting.
Judge Higley, In describing the dinner,
said: The speaking was of very high
order and General Alger was favored
guest. In view of some of the unjust
and uncalled for criticisms that have
been made on account of the honor
done to Secretary Alger, quote the
speech Of General Merritt at the ban
quet."
Judge Higley then proceeded to quote
the eulogies of General Alger delivered
by General Merritt. The report was
not favorably received and was the
cause of a somewhat animated discus
sion, accompanied by the introduction
of several uncomplimentary resolu-
buttons. President Roosevelt presented
a resolution, that has been referred to
the general meeting by the board of
governors, which, in part, was as fol-
lows:
THE Empire State Society, Sons of
the American Revolution, repudiates in
the strongest manner the use of its ma
tional meetings for political purposes.
Especially does it condemn any attempt
to vindicate the reputation of public
officials, or to compliment those who
have been accused of unpatriotic neg
lect of our soldiers who exposed their
lives for our country. The first duty of
all patriotic societies is to assist, pro-
tect and uphold the armies of the ma
ton and to aid in giving them all the
support that the sources of the country
command
Judge Higley declared that the reso-
lutions were disgraceful and eventually
they were laid on the table. After more
discussion the following resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, The banquet generously
rendered to the delegates to the ma
tional congress of the Sons of the Amer
lean Revolution in the city of Detroit
on the evening of May was purely a
social function. constituting no part of
the proceedings of the congress, and
Whereas, The delegates from the
Empire State Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution to said congress
attended said banquet in their private
and individual capacities:
Resolved. That the Empire State
Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution disavows official RESPONSE
bility of any sentiment expressed at
said banquet upon controverted politi-
cal questions of the day.
Resolved, That the Sons of the
American Revolution, being a merely
patriotic and non-partisan organiza ton,
it is the sense of the society that it
should not be used for political pur-
poses and that the discussion at its
meetings of disputed questions of con-
temporaneous politics should seduously
be avoided"
