The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1901-01-25

London, Jan. 21.-If when the me-
tropolis awakes the queen is still liv-
ing her people must recognize there is
really no hope. This mornings news
papers have taken off any pretense of
any possibility of recovery and they
sadly admit that the end may come at
any moment.
While there is life there is hope,
they say, and the queens constitution
is marvelously strong, but it is idle to
deny that the danger is extreme.
Therefore the papers proceed to re-
view her majestys long and illustrious
reign as though she was no more, and
to dilate upon the wonderful influence
she welded in European politics for
so many years I'VE all know" says
the Daily Mail, that there is danger
of losing perhaps the greatest personal
force of our time"
The Daily News recalls the fact that
even Bismarck, who detested feminine
interference in politics, formed an esti-
mate of the queen after a personal in
terview with her which bordered on
the idolatrous, and it adds: This is
one of the most striking tributes ever
paid to a great character"
A bright spot in the universal gloom
was the unexpectedly prompt sympathy
displayed by Emperor William in Civ
ing up important engagements to come
to the deathbed of his grandmother.

Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. 2l.-4:35. p.
ma slight improvement is said to be Wis
ibe in the queens condition, but there is
no hope of anything but fatal ending.
The night is awaited with great anxiety.
Paralysis is spreading to vital parts.
Nourishment is being artificially admin
istered. The palace is packed There is
great excitement. With the exception Of
newspaper correspondents there are only u
few outside the gates. kilograms continue
to pour in from all parts of the world.
While expressions of sympathy and love
are pouring in from every quarter OF both
hemispheres, none are so appreciated as
those from the United States. The Globe
voices the general sentiment, saying;
Prom other lands hopes come of the
recovery and eulogies passed on the char
acter of Queen Victoria. In America, al
most without exception, it is under the
simple title of The Queen that the illus
trious patient is referred to and deep af-
lection implied. The term can hardly be
overestimated.'
As Viewed i'm Russia.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 2l.-ln the COM
ment in all circles not influential on
Queen Victorias illness the personal note
dominates the political. The ears sub
iects freely admit that her majesty has
been one of the principal bulwarks OF
peace The Rossia and Novosti alone touch
the political chord.
The Rossia says: "Englands prestige
is largely due to the queen. To spare
Queen Victoria much has been forgiven
her ministers. With her will depart Brit
tannia's good genius"
The Novosti says: England is dscon-
tented with the situation and the dissat-
isfaction will possibly be expressed more
plainly if Queen Victoria dies Her sue
cessor will probably entertain different
views on many questions. He is credit
ed with strong French sympathies The
power of an English sovereign is greater
than commonly stated Therefore the
change may produce a revelation in in
tenational politics"
Comments ut Paris.
Paris, Jan. 2l.-The dispatches from
Osborne are eagerly read here. The eve
ming papers publish more frequent edi-
tions, which are quickly sold.
The articles in the papers are sympa-
thetic, though they give evidence of the
anti-British feeling aroused by the South
African war Many of the writer's ascribe
Queen Nictorias collapse to the cloud of
melancholy enshrouding her on account Of
the situation in South Africa and the ever
increasing death roll.
Joseph Chamberlin is spoken of as the
evil spirit responsible for the painful cir
cumstances of her majesty.

THE INAUGURAL.

I>IIE two most significant passages of Presi-
L dent Mckinley's second inaugural state
with rare brevitv and clearness the conditions of
the two gravest affairs with which his official
responsibility is now charged. First as to Cuba :
The peace which pledged leave the Cuban peo
pie carry with it the guarantees Of pernanence"
Secondly, as to the situation in the Philip
pines:
ave wagng against the inhabitants OF the Phil
ppnc Islands portion OF them making against the
United States"
Columns of Rhetoric could not say more as
to cur duty in Cuba and our duty in the Phil
ippincs. In each case the statement implies the
programme.
In spirit and in tone, as in literary form, the
inaugural is worthy of the occasion and of the
inaugurated The retrospect is a splendid mar
rat,vc of national advancement. The philosophy
is the optimism of American faith in American
character and capabilities. Fortunate among
the statesmen who have made history is the
President who after four such years can turn to
his fellow countrymen and pronounce such an
address, with absolute confidence as to what the
response will be!

DEATH OF WILLIAM N. EVARTS.
Attorney General Under johnson anA
Secretary Of State For Hayes.

Attorney General Under johnson and
Secretary of State For Hayes.
New York. March 1.-William M.
Evarts died at his homo In this city
yesterday, aged 50 years. His death
was caused by pneumonia. For several
years past he had been without the
use OF his eyes, and was otherwise so
feeble that he was unable to leave his
home. Up to the time Of his death he
was the nominal head Of the law Arm
of Evarts. Choate & Beaman. although
for many years he had not been in
active practice.
Mr.. Evarts first gained prominence in
the Republican national convention
which nominated Abraham Lincoln.
Mr.. Evarts strongly supported William
NJ. Seward, and it was believed that
Seward's nomination and election
would have led to Evarts' nomination
as Stewards successor. Mr.. Evarts sub
sequently successfully defended Presi-
dent johnson in the impeachment pro-
ceedings, and was chosen by that presi-
dent as attorney general. Later he per-
formed signal service as counsel at
Geneva to press the Alabama claims
against Great Britain. He was ap-
pointed by President Hayes as secre-
tary OF state, and afterward served a
term as United States senator from
New York.
