THH QUEEN Is DEAD
Victoria of England Who Reign
ed for Sixty-fOur Years.
Prince of Wales Becomes King
With the Title of Edward VII.
and His Wife is Queen.

Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. % Queen
Victoria is dead and Edward VII. reigns.
The greatest event in the memory of
this generation, the most stupendous
change in existing conditions that could
possibly be imagined has taken place
quietly, almost gently, upon the ami
versary OF the death OF Queen Victoria's
father, the duke of Kent. The end of
this career, never equaled by any wo-
man in the worlds history, came in a
simply furnished room in Osborne house.
The queen passed away quite peace
fully. She suffered no pain. Those who
we're not mOurners went to their rooms.
A few minutes later the inevitable ele-
ment OF materialism stepped into this
chapter of international history, for the
court ladies went busily to work order
ing their mourning from London. The
wheels OF the world were Jared when the
announcement came, but in this palace
at Osborne everything pursued the usual
course.
The dead queen ruled over the British
empire for almost 81 years, and was 80
years of age.

Canal Bill Not Taken I'm.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The republi-
can senator's decided today not to set q
day, at least for the present, for taking
up the Nicaragua canal bill The de-
clsIon was reached after an hour and a
nalf spent 10 caucus and was unanimous.
The caucus was called largely because of
Senator MOrgan's opportunities in be-
hail OF the bill, and an effort was made
to effect q satisfactory solution of the
problem. There was general exchange
OF views and many speeches were made.
but after all had been said the senator's
concluded that so long as Great Britain's
attitude toward the amendment to the
Hay-PauncefOte treaty is underlined it
would not be wise or expedient to agi-
tate the question of the construction of
the proposed canal.

ARMY is NOT DRUNK,
General Macarthur Explodes the
FalsehOOds Told

Washington, Jan. 19.-In view of the
debate in the senate over the alleged
drunkenness and licentiousness in the
philippines and in order to obtain def
mite information as to the condition of
affairs IN the respects mentioned, Adiu-
tant General Corbin on the 10th inst.
cabled General Macarthur at Manila as
follows:
Telegraph the condition OF the army
in Manila and elsewhere with reference to
drunkenness and use of intoxicating
liquors. Are houses OF prostitution
licensed, protected or in any way en-
couraged by the military authorities?"
General Macarthur replied as follows:
Manila, Jan. 17.-Adiutant General.
Washington: With reference to your
telegram of 18th, drunkenness in this
army is no more noticeable here than in
garrisons in the United States. Consid-
eriDg the whole force as a unit, it prac-
tically is much less. In Manila drunken
men are very noticeable The effect of
a drunkard in a public place creates an
impression among citizens of extensive
disorders throughout the whole
force, which is not the Case The
army is in splendid condition and in a
high state of efficiency and doing the
hardest kind of service in a most faith
full and inspiring manner Houses of
prostitution are not licensed, protected
or encouraged"

Enlistments Are About Two Thou
sand Men a Month.

Washington, Jan. 18.-Active recruit
ing for the army is in progress in all the
principal cities OF the country. The au-
thOrlzed strength of the regular army at
present is IS 900 men and the recruiting
in progress is with a view to making it
OF that strength after the discharge Of
$4,000 volunteers in June next. They
are recruited for three years service and
the number OF recruits averages about
1000 a month.
Owing to the delay in action on the
army bill the impression prevails in the
war department that it will be almost
impossible to get all the volunteers to
this country in time to permit their dis
charge here by June 80 In that case it
will be necessary to discharge number
of them in the Philippines on that date
IN order to keep them until replaced by
regular troops now being recruited.
Otherwise it would not be possible to
keep the Philippine army up to the limit
OF 40, 900 men, regarded as essential to
the enforcement of the presidents policy,
while the proposed reorganization of
the army is in progress. Every effort
will be made to get as many of the
volunteers home as possible before their
discharge.
Death of Hazing.
West Point, n Z, Jan. 19.-The con-
gressional investigation of the West
Point military academy has borne fruit
rather Unexpectedly. Tonight, when
the congressman we're hurrying their in
quiries to a termination, the cadets oil
all four classes held a meeting in Grant
hall and unanimously decided to abolish
hazing OF every form, as well as the
practice of ''calling out" fourth class
men. This is exactly what General Dick
and the other members of the congress
sional committee have been trying to
impress on the cadets who have testified
before him as the only course open to
them if they desired to see the fair name
of the United States military academy
unsullied and above reproach.

Scarcely less audacious was the ruse
employed by another dissatisfied son
Of Mars, and in this case, likewise, 1t
proved futile. lie happened to know
that a certain publican in the town
was in anything but affiuent circum-
stances, for he visited the house reg
ularly, and from remarks dropped at
odd times discovered that the publi-
can was heavily in debt to a Scotch
spirit merchant. One morning as soon
as the publican opened his doors the
soldier arrived, after having first dis
guised himself with a beard and wig
and donned civilian attire.
With him came a friend who agreed
TO act as a representative of the law
and he promptly told the astonished
publican that he had orders to leave a
man in possession unless the sum ow-
ing to the Scotch spirit merchant was
paid to him there and then. The pub
lean, of course, could not pay. so the
deserter was quartered upon him, and
lived in his house and at his expense
for more than a week before the de-
ception was discovered. Perhaps the
most successful deserter-for a time
was William Conrad. Through one Of
his comrades he heard Of a man whose
son had gone to Australia gold mining.
and had apparently disappeared, for
nothing more had been heard Of him,
though the parent still believed he
would see him again. Conrad there
fore hit upon the ingenious idea OF
leaving the army by stealth, and, go
ing to the man, informing him that he
was the missing son. AS his knowledge
Of Australia was considerable. he lost
no time in putting his plan into exc
cution, and the parent, believing in
| him despite the supposed alteration in
| is appearance, provided him with a
1 home and money galore. commodity
| he confessed he lacked. But unfortu-
nately for him, at the end of eighteen
months the real son turned up, and
what followed can better be imagined
! than described.

DIR. CORA SMITH EATON.

Mrs. Gait gives all of her time to the
work of the National Association with
out salary.
One of the most enthusiastic and eff
ficient officers of the association has
been Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery, who
has served as corresponding secretary
for twenty-one years, since she was
a girl in her teens. She has recently re-
signed the office and been succeeded by
Miss Kate Gordon of New Orleans. The
new secretary is very influential in her
own city and was given a medal by
the Business Mems Club for her part
in carrying the municipal election in
favor of street drainage. In Louisiana
women can vote either in person or by
proxy on such questions. Miss Gordon
was president of an organization of
women for this purpose and collecting
the votes of 300 who were too tinid
to go to the polls, she cast them in
favor of the measure. She has assum-
ed her duties at the national suffrage
headquarters in New York.
The only other new officer is DR.. Cora
Smith Eaton of Minneapolis, who at
the last convention was elected one of
the auditors. She has had thorough
business training and is eminently
qualified to- fill the office. DIR. Eaton
has a large medical practice and is
prominent in club work.
The other auditor is Miss Laura Clay.
a direct descendant of Henry Clay. She
is also president of the Kentucky Suf-
frage Association.
A pillar of the suffrage cause is Rev.
Anna H. Shaw. Though she was born

fering among self-supporting women

her attention to the subject of wo-'
mans rights, and she went on the
platform in their behalf. Ten years ago
she spoke for the first time in Boston
on the suffrage question and the young
woman from out West electrified her
audience. To-day she. shows in mag
