The Victorian era has ended. After
reign OF nearly Ga years, Victoria,
Queen OF Great Britain and Ireland and
Empress of India, is dead. She passed
away at Osborne at 6.55 Tuesday even
ing
A telegram sent by the Prince Of
Wales to the Lord Mayor of London,
timed at Osborne, 6.55 in the evening,
announced the Queens death.
AT her bedside at the end were gath
cred the Emperor OF Germany, the
Prince of Wales and the remaining
members of the royal family. The end
was peaceful. the Queen seemingly
falling into a peaceful sleep at the end.
Early her physicians announced that
the rally was but temporary, and that
she was rapidly sinking. 1t was given
out thai the end was near, and the
members Of the royal family were sum
moned to her side.
She fingered throughout the day,
contrary to expectation and died
shortly after sunset.
AT about o'clock the Prince of
Wales caused a notice to be posted at
the Mansion House stating that the
Queens life was in the gravest danger.
That was taken as evidence that the
end was near, and everyone prepared
for the worst Several hours later the
Crfen passed away.
tal Queen passed away quietly, with
out a struggle She sank to rest in the
presence of the Prince OF Wales (now
King and EmDeror), the Princess Of
Wales the Duke Of York and other
members of the royal family.
With the members Of the royal fam
ly gathered at the Queens bedside, the
Bishop Of Winchester and the rector
of Whippingham read prayers for those
in extremls. Happily the Queen was
able to recognize those around her.
They came to her bedside, but the ply
sicians had warned them against at
tempts to speak to her. Naturally, the
family, while recognizing the claim for
public information, insist that the de-
tails OF the events around the deathbed
shall be sacred for the present, and i'm
posed the stTictest secrecy on the whole
household.
The Queen is said to have bid fare
well, in a feeble monosyllable to her
family, assembled at her bedside at
midday. She first recognized the Prince
Of Wales, to whom she spoke a few
words of great moment; then Emperor
William and the others present filed
past ano heard whispered goodbye.
All those in the bedroom were in tears.

Washington (SpeclaD AT the an

the president was directed to appoint
2 committee to make formal protest
against the proposed alteration Of the
White House at Washington.
The committee says the alterations,
as illustrated in the daily press, are
of such a character as to completely
destroy whatever merit there is in the
existing design. The building, II add
ed to in the way proposed, would be
devoid of dignity and entirely lacking
in unity and would thus violate the
elementary rules Of good architectural
