COMMENTS ON
THE DEAD QUEEN.

The following are comments from
some London papers on the dead
Queen:
Daily News: "We may be thank
full her Majesty was spared the inhic-
ton of senile decay; that her subjects
will always be able to think of her as
one summoned from incessant labor to
eternal peace"
Chronicle: "The end las come to
a noble lie, brilliant reign, an epoch
of our national history. Victoria's
monument is already built, more cost
~ than marble, it has sprung up in a
night, more enduring than granite or
bronze, sacred to her memory forever.
High and low, rich and poor, one with
another, the subjects of Victoria have
built her monuments in their hearts"
Express ave will leave her great
ness to the unerring judgment Of time
and treasure her goodness as precious
recollection OF our own. The future
will analyze her policy as ruler and
compare her critically with Elizabeth.
By her subjects of today her memory
will be cherished more nearly as that
Of a gentle lady who loved them. And
SO, goodby, dear Queen"
St. James Gazette: at is especial
ly gratifying to see how genuine and
deep is the admiration for the Queen
expressed throughout the length ard
breadth of the United States. When
it is remembered that her Majesty is
only one generation removed from the
King whose short-sighted folly goaded
America into the assertion and vindl-
cation of her independence it is touch
ingly interesting to note leader OF
thought in the United States pay the
highest tribute to Queen Victoria pos
sible from any American citizens, by
comparing her character with that OF
George Washington"

A COMPLICATED SUCCESSION

1t is very complicated and broken
descent that the new King of England
will take his place in the line of Ed
wards. He has to go back to one of
the great ones, the third, who, with
Edward the Black Prince. whipped
the French at Crecy and Poitiers
His direct geEealogy does not touch
another of the name. It was from Ed
ward Ill that Henry Tudor claimed
descent, through his mother, and made
good his claim on Bosworth field.
One of the high stewards of Scot
land, about the time of Edward I'LL,
married the daughter of Robert Bruce
and their son succeeded to the Scot
fish crown of Robert H. A descend
ant of his, James w., married the
the daughter of this Henry VII, and
when the family of Henry VIII. be-
came extinct with the death Of Eliza
beth, the great-grandson of the Prin-
cess Margaret, James VI of Scotland,
became James l. of England.
This is the way the Scott h house
OF Stuart came in by inheritance from
daughter of the Tudors, who had
claimed through daughter of the
Plantaganets, the first of whom, the
Duke of Anjou, had married the grand
daughter of the Norman conqueror.
The direct succession of the Stuarts
was from James l. to Charles l.,
Charles II. and James II. The revo-
luton of 1858 gave James lis crown
to his daughter Mary and her hus-
band, William of Orange, and after
Dutch William it passed to the other
sister, Anne. The partisans of the
house of Stuart always insisted that
this was a usurpation, but the last op-
portunity to restore the male line was
missed when Queen Anne died
Mary and Anne having left no de-
scendants and the Jacobite claimants
being ruled out, it Was necessary to
turn to the collateral issue of James |.
His daughter Elizabeth had been mar
ried to the Elector Palatine and their
daughter, Sonia, to the Elec:or of
Hanover, Earnest Augustus, whose
son was recognized as heir to the
throne of his English and Scottish an
cestors, to which he acceeded as George
/. In this way the German family of
Guelps, the house of Brunswick, came
to reign over Great Britain.
The Subsequent succession has been
reasonably direct, Victoria being a
granddaughter of George ". There
is no immediate danger now Of the ex-
haustion of the direct line of her de-
scendants, as long as the English peo-
pie find it convenient to select the head
of the state in this way. Actual right
of descent was practically repudiated
at the revolution and the succession is
determined by act of Parliament-"the
consent of the governed" y. Philadelphia
Times.

DEATH THE PUNISHMENT
OF FORMER VOLUNTEER
General Chaffee Says There Is But
One Fitting Penalty for George
RaVnond'S CrimeS,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20-George A.
Raymond, an American and formerly a
private in the Forty-irst Volunteer In
fantry, was tried by military commission
in the Philippines on a triple charge of
murder, assault and robbery and SEN
fenced TO be hanged The records in this
case of unusual depravity1 have just been
received at the War Department.
Upon the muster out of the Forty-frSt
Regiment Raymond went to the province
of Pampanga and endeavored to organize
a band of outlaws among his former COM
rades. On the 7th of last May, while he
was riding along a road near the Barrio
of San Jose with Henry Bohm, who also
fantry and with whom he pretended to
be on friendly relations, Raymond treach-
erously turned on his companion and
killed him with his revolver and then
emptied the dead mans pockets.
Two days afterward, in company with
Ulich F. Rogers and George L. Muhn,
formerly of the Firty-frst, Raymond,
garbed in the uniform of a United States
army officer. entered the premises of a
dies and brides and three horses. On
the night of May Raymond forced his
way into the home of a respectable ma
tive girl and attacked her.
In reviewing this case and approving
the sentence of death General Chaffee
said:
''The depravity and dangerous criminal
propensities of accused, involving in the
short space of three days the robbery of
a helpless native, the violation of a re-
spectacle girl and the treacherous as
sassination of a comrade from motives
of pure avariciousneSs, can call for but
one fitting penalty"

SWEEPS
UPON SKAGUAY
Torrent Of Water From
Mountains Destroys
Bridges.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Oct. 90
Skaguay and vicinity have been visited
by disastrous rainstorm, according to
passengers arriving on the City of Seat
tie to-day. The storm caused great loss
of property. On the afternoon of October
13 a torrent of water rushed down the
valley. Three bridges were wrecked, the
Railroad was washed away in places, and
the water front between Broadway and
the bluff was inundated.
A big slide occurred near Pennington
and the snow sheds just erected were
wrecked. Three days is the minimum
time before trains can be moved on the
road. The losses will easily foot to $75,-
900. When the waters began to make their
appearance around the doors of houses in
Skaguay on the low ground considerable
excitement prevailed, and as the rain con-
tinued in torrents, all persons made prepa-
rations to move. Captain jerks Of the
United States army ordered the military
out and they rendered assistance in saw
ing both life and property.
The carrying away of bridges along the
railroad means a great loss to men at
Dawson who were shipping in machinery
for winter mining purposes, as the ma
chinery now at Skaguay cannot be moved
until the road is repaired, and by that
time the river will be frozen so that the
machinery cannot reach Dawson until
spring.
The steamer Centennial, reported ashore
near Teller City by the steamer st. Paul,
arrived in quarantine last night, bringing
450 passengers. The Centennial sailed
from Nome October 9. Among her passen-
gers were thirty who were destitute and
of charge. The Centennial's passengers
report that at st. Michael winter had
practically set in and that the streets were
frozen and snow had commenced to fall.

HOMOR ENL|VENS
THEIR CAMPAIGN
Spectacular Features in
Sacramento Mayor
atty Fight.
F Fireworks, Tent and Abund-
ant Melody Among the
Attractions.

SACRAMENTO, Oct 20.-The Mayor
atty campaign grows warmer as it pro-
crosses. While there are no less than four
candidates in the field the actual fighting
has narrowed down to the forces, of Will
liam Land, the Republican nominee, and
George H. Clark, Independent. Rival
meetings are held on the same nights, and
vocalists, musicians, jugglers and other
entertainers are enlisted to supplement
the allurements of spellbinders in holding
the crowds. Clark goes about town with
a tent, which he pitches on vacant lots,
and band riding about in a tallyho
drums up the expectant multitude.
Land, on the other hand, affects fire
works and resounding anvils in the open
air, and both plans of campaign appear
to have caught popular favor. Meanwhile
James H. Devine, the Democratic candi-
date, is making capital out of the contrast
presented by the standing alone on his
public record and declining to violate the
purity of election law by permitting eX-
cessive expenditures in his interest Cen
eral Tozer, the Municipal League candi-
date, deserted by the very men who were
foremost in forming the reform organiza-
ton, is pluckily making his fight, al
though with small chance of success.
The current sensation is the open charge
made by Edward Bruner that the proprie-
tors of the Signal, organ of the Council
of Federated Trades have attempted to
ner publicly denounces the Signal men as
scoundrelS, and says he is prepared to
prove his charge. He declares that the
Signal held its forms back from Saturday
to Monday in order to permit its publish
ers to extort $3.50 from the Republican
candidate and, failing in this, the paper
came out with a scathing arraignment of
Land and has continued its abuse of that
nominee.
One of the anomalies of the campaign
is the circumstance that George H. Clark
has won, the Endorsement not only of the
Pastors Union, made up of the clergymen
of the city, but also the Endorsement of
the Retail Liquor Dealers Association,
comprising the SaloOn-keepers of the
town. The ministers have indorsed Clark
because they say he has, Mayor,
stopped gambling, while the liquor deal
ers have indOrsed him because he has al
lowed their nickel-in-the- machines to
run without hindrance. Incidentally the
clergymen are catching it, from many
men have been passed a plated brick
and that they should keep their hands out
of the political pot, anyhow.
Clark has established a paper of his
own called the Independent, and it fairly
bristles with the pointed sarcasm of it's
reputed editor in chief, Hiram w. John
son, who, with his brother, Albert M.
Johnson, conducted Clark's side of the IA
nous oil-land suit against Colonel ]. B.
Wright and others. While the Johnson
brothers are speaking nightly for Clark
at the tent meetings, their father, Grove
L. Johnson, is as forcibly declaiming for
Land, and protesting that even if the sons
are on the money side the parent is not.

IMPORTANT DECISION
ON BANKRUPTCY LAWS
United States District Judge Inter
prets the Section Relating to
SET Off


ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 20.-Judge W. T.
Newman of the United States District
Court has handed down an opinion of in
terest to the mercantile community and
the legal profession at large. The Su-
preme Court of the United States has
decided under a section of the bankruptcy
law that a payment received by creditor
of a bankrupt within four months preced-
ing the filing Of the petition in bankruptcy
must be surrendered before the creditor
shall be allowed to prove his claim in
bankruptcy, whether the payment was
received knowingly or not.
Another section of the bankruptcy act
authorizes a set off to a creditor who has
received a preference for the amount of
goods which had been sold to the bank
rupt subsequent to the payment re-
ceived if the goods entered into and be-
came a part of the bankrupt estate The
question before Judge Newman was as to
whether such set-off would be allowed
in the case of a creditor whose prefer
ence was not knowingly received.
Judge Newman holds that the set-off
should he allowed as well as in cases
where the payment was innocently re-
ceived as in cases where it was not
Judge Newman subsequently passed an
order authorizing the trustee to take the
case to the Circuit Court Of Appeals at
New Orleans for review.
