Proctor Knott's Rabbit Story.

The Sampson-Schley controversy
has revived Proctor knott's ''rab
bit story" in connection with the
credit for the victory at Santiago.
Ex-G,.v. Proctor Knott and John
Yerkes were discussing the claims
of Sampson and Schley to the credit
of smashing Cervera at Santiago.
Mr.. Yerkes took the ground that
all the honor of that memorable
conflict belonged to Admiral Samp-
son and was inclined to entirely
ignore Commodore Schley's part in
the affair. The Governor listened
until his companion had finished,
and then with twinkle in his eye
said: my dear sir. it is exceed
ingly gratifying to me to hear YOU
take the position you have in this
matter. 1t is like balm to my
conscience and settles point that
has worried me many day. was
walking through the woods once
with boy friend of mine when we
saw a rabbit run into a sinkhole.
We stood around the hole awhile:
then 1 told the boy to keep watch
while went~home to get some fire
to smoke the rabbit cut. When l
returned the boy had the rabbit. j
took it away from him. claiming
that it belonged to me because /
told him To catch it if it came out.
That was over fifty yeaas ago,
and YOU are the first man that has
ever agreed with me that the rabbit
was mine. l feel now that | was
right in taking it and my conscience
is at rest" Mr.. Yerkes looked
solemn for few moments, and then
smiled feeble smile and changed
the subject.

Mckinley travelled through the

often held too cheaply, and not
even an unkind word was uttered

fault of the Eastern people that

In the western hemisphere there
have been few changes in territorial
lines. British title to the northwest
territory has been confirmed and the
area of British Guiana somewhat en-
larged. The development of the Do
minion of Canada has. however, been
almost equal to the discovery and an
nexation of a new continent. Finally,
in Africa, there has been stupendous
progress. Sixty years ago Great Brit

three other mere footholds. In these
three-score years she has acquired In

Territorial Expansion Wit

The territorial growth of the Brit
ish empire during the reign of Queen
Victoria has been prodigious. In
Asia between 1887 and 1858 the terri
tory of Scinde of the Sikhs, Tanjore,
Lower Burmah, Nagpur, Sattara,
Jhansi and Dude were brought under
British dominion. In the latter year
all British India was transferred
from the British East India company
to the crown. And since that date
Upper Burmah, the Shan states, Be-
luchistan, Manipur and Chitral have
been annexed. Nor must the little
but enormously valuable territory of
Hong-Kong be forgotten as one of
the acquisitions of the reign.
Passing from Asia to Australasia,
even greater changes have occurred,

and could show as little regard for per-
sonal predictions in the business OF
government as any man.
A Reign Of Excitement.
The early wears of Victoria's reign
were full of interest and excitement
There were the rebellion in Canada, the
Anti-Corn league, the chartist agitation,
the Jamaica question, the nev~er-ending
Irish question, the Afghan war and the
war with China. Along with these
events came the introduction OF many
great discoveries in science, industry
and which are now consid-
cred specially representative OF modern
civilization.
Tilt with Sir Robert Peel.
About the only serious clash that Vic
toria ever had with her various minis
tries occurred in 1899, when Sir Robert
Peel tried to dictate to her in the mat
ter of selecting the ladies of her bed
chamber. Sir Robert was actuated by
purely political motives, but his man
ner of presenting them to the young
queen offended her deeply and she re-
fused to consent to a course which she
conceived to be contrary to usage and
was repugnant to her feeling. This
| question led to a return of the wing gov
| eminent to power. There was great
excitementand at public b~anquetsit be-
came the fashion TO toast the queen as
the sovereign of spirit who would moi
let her bellies be peeled"
to Prince Albert.
February 10, 1910, Queen Victoria
was married to her cousin, Prince AL
bert of axe-Coburg-Gotha This was a
love match, pure and, simple, but the
young sovereign. owing to her position,
had to conduct the negotiations mainly
by herself. During the previous mont
she had formally notified parliament OF
her intention to marry her cousins
step which she trusted would be cor
Gucive to the interests of my people a.
well as my own domestic happiness
The announcement was not received
with universal satisfaction, but a cor
dial reception was accorded Prince Al

An amendmentwas carried to the effect
that the lords were unwilling to agree
to the passage of the bill until some
comprehensive and complete scheme
of army reorganization should have
been laid before it. Mr.. Gladstone
%thereupon took a step which is vari-
ously criticised to this day. Purchase
was permitted only by royal warrant,
and In order to checkmate the lords
Gladstone advised the queen to cancel
the royal warrant which made it
legal.
Created Empress of India.
In 1876 Benjamin Disraeli created
another sensation by introducing an
act adding "Empress. of India" to the
queens titles. Members Of both po-
litical parties were opposed to the
new title. They claimed that the old
one of queen of Great Britain and Ire
land was sufficiently striking and
honorable. But Disraeli, as usual,
carried his poir.. He limited mystic
riously that the question of suprem-
acy in India was involved in the title
and that there was imperative neces-
sity of asserting the position of the
sovereign of England as supreme
ruler for the whole empire of India
1t was we'll understood that Russian
intrigue was meant by the willy prime
minister. and the act passed with
out further protest.

NOTABLE LEGISLATION.
Some of the Most Important Enacted
During Victoria'S Reign.

During Victoria'S Reign.
During Queen Victoria's reign there
were many notable acts OF legisla-

the chartists, then considered revolu-
tionary in the extreme, were quietly
and p~eaceably effected. The corn
laws were repealed and England en-
tered upon her marvellous prosperity
under a free trade policy. The Irish
church was disestablished and the
odious system of purchase abolished
in the army. There was a sensational
feature connected with the last-named
measure. 1t was opposed by the
house of lords and defeated by q trick
