Made Heir to . Tnroue.

Queen Victoria's sons have inherited from their father, the prince consort, a petty principality and throne in Ger many. This Is Saxe-Coburg and Go tha, a duchy with a territory of 75O square miles, three-fourths of the area of Rhode Island, and a population ex- ceeding 100000. It Is not stronghold of power and influence. buta good deal of money goes with 1t and makes 1t worth while to keep 1t in the family.
 The Prince of Wales renounced his rights to the duchy because he was heir to the English throne. The Duke of Edinburgh accepted the inheritance, but he has no son to succeed him. The Duke of Connaught was the next in line, but he and his son have renounc- ed their rights. The heir to the throne Is the son of the late Duke of Albany, the queens fourth son.
 He is a schoolboy, in his fifteenth year, and has no prospects in England. He will now go to Germany to finish his education and will cease to be an English prince. He will owe allegiance to the German emperor and will prob ably serve his time in the army.
 This inheritance has been arranged by Queen Victoria, whose will is law in the English royal family. She has pro- vided for one of her favorite grandsons a snug and comfortable little throne on the continent, where he will have little to do and where his income will be large.-Youth's Companion.

 son and Philip Among the Callers.
 New York, Sept 27-"Thanks" stream ed in the code signal flags from the after halliards of the flagship Olympia of Sandy Hook in the dawn of yesterday.
 The Thanks" was the response of Ad- miral Dewey to the salute of IT guns that thundered from the fort on this out lying sand peninsula of New York har- Dor. The salute was the first voice of welcome that rang across the water to the returning victor.
 A running outburst of congratulations has followed him throughout his voyage half around the world. His modest bear ing throughout this journey, amid every salvo and every courtesy from guns and ships of other powers, has been reported and praised.
 The first message of the home coming conqneror to his countrymen, who are hocking to this city to express the grati- tude of the republic to him for his valor and to the navy for its victory, was itself one of thankfulness for his greeting.
 To the vast majority of people the ar rival of the Olympia off Sandy Hook yesterday morning was surprise. Only with difficulty could the town credit the unexpected news.

The Situation Presents Few Fresh
 Features.
 London, Sept. 27.-The Transvaal cris- is presents few fresh features. It is in- creasingly probable that parliament will meet about the middle of October, and 1t Is again asserted that General Sir Redysrs Butler who is to have supreme command of the British forces in South Africa in the event of hostilities, will start for the Cape on Oct. z. Nothing, however, has been officially made known on either point.
 The Transvaal government was in con stant telegraphic communication with Bloemfontein yesterday on the reply to Mir. Chamberlain's dispatch. It Is be- lieved that the reply will protest against the continued dispatch of British troops as a menace to the Transvaal.
 The Pretoria Volkssteim, the official or gan of the Transvaal government, de- clares that the Transvaal executive ought to give Great Britain at the most AS hours to reply to the Transvaafs demand that no further troops be landed pend ing the receipt of the British proposals.
 Sir William Vernon Harcourt writes to The Times denying that the controversy regarding suzerainty was introduced by the Transvaal government. He says it was originated by Mir. Chamberlain in his dispatch of Sept. 16, 1897,
 "The TransvaaPs independence" says Sir William, ''is complete. Even in for eign affairs the only thing reserved is the final approval of the queen to treaties ne gotiated. It is unfortunate that the SUI zerainty question was ever raised, and the sooner the whole dispute Is dismissed the hnffor v

n,r, Nor the Dirty One,.

"In several of the provincial towns" writes MT. Ransome, "One finds hotels said to be conducted on the foreign principle and certain Japanese hotels have foreign side. The European ac- commodation in such places Is, as a rule, terrible. The rooms are dirty, the beds are rickety, the bedclothes are apparently seldom washed and the ta- bles and chairs are seldom capable Of standing on more than two legs at a time.
 When I first went to Japan ] could not understand how, on the foreign side of the Japanese hotels, the accom- modations could be so inferior, when the Japanese portion was kept scrupu- lously clean. One would naturally think that people whose houses were so spotless would revolt at having a portion of their premises in a filthy condition.
 "But, as explained to me by the land lord of one of these hybrid establish ments: Foreigners are dirty by nature. They go about their houses in their boots, and consequently they cannot wish to have their rooms kept in prop CT condition '"-Tlterature-

The sWIckeds I.onsdnIa.

At meeting of the Poor Clergy Re lief society in London a story was told of Bishop Waldegrave of Carlisle and wicked" Lord Lonsdale. The bishop rode we'll, and on his going up to Low. ther castle Lord Lonsdale admired his horse and his management of it. The bishop pleaded the cause of a clergyman passing rich on $40 year, whose well educated wife took in tourists washing to add to their scanty income.
 Lord Lonsdale said; Everybody looks on me as a very sinful man, be. yond all possible hope of salvation. You have spoken to me as a gentleman; you have spoken to me like 8 good servant of the great head of the church; you have spoken to me enoouragingly about the salvation of even my poor soul you have pleaded the cause very nobly for that young clergyman. Here is my check book. Put down what you like, and will sign it."
 The bishop said, "No; that is mat. ter between God and you"
 Lord Lonsdale gave the bishop a check for e10, 900 and afterward two further checks for a20,000 for pom clergy of the diocese of Carlisle.

A Silent Rebuke.

A curly haired small boy sat in a Fourteenth street car just at the time of the day when the cars are most crowded on Thursday afternoon. A worn looking woman, evidently his mother, sat beside him. At Fifteenth street a particularly buxom woman of middle age crowded into the car. There was no seat for her, and she stood glar- ing at the boy. Later her displeasure vented itself In words, and she express ed herself freely to the woman who stood next her about women who let their children occupy seats while ladies are standing. The worn looking wom- an flushed, but made no move to have the boy surrender his seat. The buxom woman still glared and still expressed herself with extreme frankness. The boy sat still. At N street the mother rang the bell. As the car stopped she put her arms around the boy and lifted him to his feet, half carrying him to the door.
 Wont you take this seat?' she said to the buxom woman. ''I am just talk ing him home from the hospital"
 And as the car rolled on the buxom woman looked warmer than the wealth CT warranted.-Washing Post.

In later dispatch General Otis describes the situation in the island of Zamboanga. From General Otis report it appears that the datos of the island continue to follow the example of their chief, Dato Mundi, in offering allegiance to the American flag. It is evident that the datos are anxious to make trouble for the insurgent forces on the islands, and Dato Cagayan of the Sulu islands has signifed his desire to replace the Spanish flag by tha American flag

TO FREE AMERICANS.
Latest Move of Insurn~nts-ounbo
 and Crew Captured.

Latest Move of Insurn~nts--Gunbo beat and Crew Captured. Two Englishmcn, who assert that they were shipwrecked in a small boat neat Bigan, at the northern end of Luxon have come through the American lines at | Angeles, after having been for three
 months in the hands of the insurgents. They brought message from the in. surgent general Pantelon Garcia that 14 American prisoners, who are now held al Tarlac, will be released on Tuesday ot Wednesday.
 The delay in releasing these prisoners as promised several days ago, is due 10 the fact that the Filipinos wish to fur nish the men with new clothing whdR they set them free. tt The Englishmen state further thaa Lieutenant ]. c. Gilmore and the cap, tured boats crew from the Yorktown are still at Bigan, but will be released later
 in accordance with the decision of the | Filipino congress and the subsequent de- cree of Aguinaldo providing for the sur. render of all American prisoners. The admitted purpose of the Fflipinot
 in thus freeing the Americans Is to int press foreign powers.
 The Englishmen say that Lieutenant Gilmore and his men are not being treat ed well.
 A boats crew of the Petrcl recently | found the gunboat Urdaneta burning and
 riddled by the insurgents. The wrech was lying opposite Orani The boat had not been heard from for ten days. A Colt automatic, Nordenfeldt and a one pounder had been taken of.

 were removed to Porac, and the gunboat was at once footed and scuttled.
