Victoria's Thoughtfulness.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26-An interesting
illustration of the queens thoughtful
ness has come to light in connection
with Thursdays ceremonial, says the
London correspondent of The Tribune.
When Sir William Vernon Harcourt
was home secretary she sent a sealed
packet with instructions that it should
not be opened until after her death. Sir
William Vernon Harcourt' S son went to
the home office on Wednesday, and
after considerable delay the package
was found. 1t contained a memoran-
dunn covering various points connected
with the ceremonial at the opening of a
new reign, with a recommendation that
her successor should not be present
when he was proclaimed, and that he
should not visit the city in state. These
were acted upon by the king, and sew
eral new precedents were set. The
queen, long time in advance, had an
ticipated the annoyances and risks of
the traditional ceremony and had taken
pains to forewarn and relieve the king.

The German Grown Prince.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-The German Grown
prince, Frederick William, who left
Potsdam yesterday, was met at the land
ing at Port Victoria this morng by an
equerry of the king and a member of
the German embassy, who accompanied
him to London, on his way to Osborne.
The crown prince, who wore a black
suit and felt hat, renamed in his sa-
loon carriage during the few minutes
which were occupied in changing at
Victoria station. AS the train started
for Portsmouth he uncovered his head
in response to the salutes of a little
knot of on-lookers. Emperor William
awaited his son at Portsmouth dock
yard and greeted him most affection
ately. The emperor and crown prince
spent an hour in inspecting the dock
yard, after which they embarked on the
foyal yacht Alberta for Oowes.

SOBER ENGLISH JOURNALISM
Shocked at "American Methods" At
tending Queens Death.


LONDON, Jan. 20. - Sober English
journalism was shocked at the display
around the Osborne house by the COR
respondents of the new English sheets
of what The Times termed American
methods /"
The scene before the Ludgate gate
following the announcement of the
lqueen's death certainly did not fit the
occasion. A crowd Of reporters assem-
bled with CABS, horses and bicycles.
Hardly had the words "Her majesty has
passed away" fallen from tae officials
lips before the reporters and messen-
gers, with a wild whoop, started to race
down the steep hill, half a mile to the
telegraph office, some of them bawling
| to their assistants below, 1.-The queen is
dead. !" One English reporter sent
rival sprawling from his bicycle, which
i skinned his face III the dirt, whereupon
he knocked down the aggressor.
Some ssFaked'' Reports.
The court officials have been exceed
ingly active in running to earth false
reports like the fictitious deathbed
scenes, and have already secured the re-
call of two correspondents. They are
premature announcements of her males
tvs death published in America, for the
purpose of acting against the authors.
Having access to all the telegraph and
telephone messages, they have discov-
cred that no report was sent from Oowes
before the queens death, therefore it
must have been ''faked" in London or
America.
Adherence to Traditions.
An unique illustration of British ad-
herence to traditions marked the sign
ing of the proclamation at st. James
palace. The lord mayor is always one
of the signers, whereupon, according to
the view of the privy councillors. he
must retire before the king enters and
the speeches are made. An ancient pic
ture represents the lord mayor among
the receivers of the king, therefore the
mayors invariably claim this right.
| Wednesday, however, the Duke of
Devonshire Qord president of the coun-
ciD requested the lord mayor to leave
the room, which he reluctantly did

Governor of a Belgian Province Assas.
sinated by Madman.

ARLoN, Luxembourg, Belgium, Jan.
26.-M. Orban de Xiyry, governor of the
Belgian province of Luxembourg, was
assassinated here this morning by man

Schneider. who was in the employ of

Schneider asked for an audience of

had been admitted he drew a revolver
and shot NJ. de Xivry. He then blew
out his own brains.
