two years from January /, 1891, to
January !, 1898, the value OF all

Reason for Queen victoria's Dsoision To-

Reason for Queen victorias Deoision To-
Stay ut Home.
LONDON, March 12.-Queen Victoria's
decision to stay in her own dominions
instead Of going to Italy, and all the
jubilations in England in consequence
are not entirely due to the successes Of
the armies in the field. It is clear that
the Italian government has been daily
growing more nervous as the time for
the queens visit approached and finally
notified her majesty's government that
it would not care to accept the respon-
Gbility for the sovereign's safety owing
to the strong recrudescence Of the an
archist movement throughout Italy.
Reports from other powers confirmed
the Italian impression. This, appar-
emily, was the chief factor in the queen'a
sudden change Of plans, though doubt
less many of her ministers always
thought it would be better policy for her
to remain at home while the nation was
IN the throes of war.
