BERLIN's PALACE SILENT.
Some of German Newspapers Have
Abusive Articles.


Berlin Jan. 21.-The palace In Berlin
has become as silent as the grave. All
the guests have departed.
Most OF the German newspapers express
sincere concern as to Queen Victoria and
praise Emperor William for going to Os-

journals, however, take a different tone
The Deutsche Tages zeitung, the lead
ing agrarian organ, concludes an abusive
article in this style:
THE rising of English power is now
followed by decline. That she has seen
the beginning of such a decline has given
Queen Victoria a death stroke. She saw
the commencement of the decay of that
whose splendid development she had wit
messed during a long life. This is the
tragic finale of her prolonged reign.
The most important question for Great
Britain now is whether the new king will
be able to find his way out Of South At
RIGA again"
Some of the papers already discuss the
Prince of Wales as the coming sovereign,
and the Berliner Tageblatt prints a DIS

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Cocllrell
to-day introduced the following amend

Quarters for the Expected.
London, Jan. 21,-The engagements of
cabinet ministers and other notable per-
sons to appear at public dinners, at char
table fairs or at the dedication of new
public buildings, etc, are being cancelled,
and it seems likely that all functions of
this sort will be postponed throughout the
United Kingdom. The Duke and Duchess
of Devonshire have recalled their invi-
tations to a house party and their ex-
ample is being followed by other tilted
entertainers. Many private dinners have
been deferred.
The scenes about the mansion house
to-day exemplified the intensity of the
common anxiety which has made all in
there as tie day wore on and nothing
could be more impressive than the pro-
found silence which greeted the an
nouncements. Preparations made in all
official quarters for all eventua,ities in
dictate the expectations of those best in
formed. The royal apartments in Wind
sor Castle are being made ready for a
sudden return of the court, and all state
officials in any way concerned in the is
sue are holding themselves in readiness
for prompt action.
A dispatch from Ostend says the ar
rangements for the departure of the King
of the Begians for Eng and have been
countermanded.

TO KNOCK OUT HAZlNG.
Committees Report to Recommend
Legislation Intended to AbOl-

Washington, Jan. 21.-The congressional
committee that investigated hazing con-
ditions at West Point tomorrow will
make a report and recommend legislation
which they believe will result in the
abolition of hazing for all time at the
academy. The committee will find what
the inquiry developed, that hazing has
been generally practiced and that in
many instances it has been of a brutal
character and will also find that Booz was
brutality hazed, but will not ascribe his
death to the result of the hazing. The
majority of the committee favor the sta
tute which will provide not only for the
expulsion of a cadet who is found guilty
of hazing, but a provision that cadet
expelled for such cause shall not be ELI
gible for reappontment and shall be for
ever debarred from holding a commission
in the army of the United States. This
probably will be the legislation recon-
mended to the House.
