ENGLISH MONARCHS.
Death often Unkind In the Manner
of Their Taking OF.

OF the monarchS who have reigned
over England since the days of the
Norman conquest nearly One-quarter of
the number have met violent death.
William | was killed by Il fall from
his horse, William III was shot while
hunting, whether by accident or de-
sign is still one of the unsolved prob
lens Of history; Richard | was killed
by a shaft from Il crossbow while
besiegng the city of Chaluz in France;
Richard ii was murdered in Pontefract
castle, Edward ii was murdered in
Berkeley castle. and Edward V in the
Tower of London. Richard III was
killed on the battlefield of Bosworth
and Charles | had his head cut off in
London.
Elizabeth's death was FASTENED by
remorse that she had ordered the eX-
ecution Of Essex. and her sister Mary
sickened and died soon after the loss
of Calais, declaring that the name of
the city would be found after death
written on her heart The death of
Edward HIS son, the Black Prince,

in the White Ship. Henry l was never
seen to smile again and lived only a
short time. Henry VI and George III
were insane during the latter years
of their reigns and finally died from
what in these days would be called
paresis. Charles III, Henry VIII, Ed
ward " and George " FASTENED their
deaths by the dissipated and sensual
lives they lived. Only two monarchs
died of that great national scourge,
consumption; they were Edward VI
and Henry VII. Queen Annes death
was due as much as anything else
to overlooking. Only two monarchs,
Henry VI and George III, died after
long illnesses.

a TERRIBLE TALE
Of Shipwreck and CannlbaIsm on the
Indian Ocean.

Victoria B. c., May 15.-The steam
ship Empress of India, which arrived
yesterday afternoon, brought a terri
BILE tale of shipwreck and cannibalism
which was recounted to the naval
court at Singapore by Johansen, a
Swede, and Martaranna,, Spaniard,
sole survivors of 10 men who sailed
from Cavite on the bark Angola, Oct.
- They were cast ashore from their
raft on Soubi island of South Katuna
group after AZ days of horror and
taken on board a junk two months
later, which landed them at Singapore
April Is.
The Angola was wrecked on a coral
reef when six days out from Manila,
and went to pieces soon after she
struck. The boats were smashed and
the crew made two RATS out Of the
wreckage. They had been % days at
sea when one man died and then, one
by one the other sailors died and their
bodies were thrown to the sharks
which followed. A Frenchman went
mad and attacked the captain with an
AK and when the mate went to the cap
tain's assistance he killed him with an
ak and drank his blood and ate his
brains. The others killed the French
man and ate part Of his body. Then
one by one the survivors died until but
two were eft, who survived on small
fish taken with hooked nails and lines
made of pieces of canvas.
They drifted until after AZ days O.;
terrible suffering they were washed
ashore on the island of Saudi on Nov.
"a. BY that time their bodies were
covered with large boils and they were
so weak that they could not walk, but
had to crawl on their hands and knees.
There were about 200 natives on the
island. The men went up to the chiefs
house and lived there for about two
months. They had only currants, man
goes and little fish TO eat. After liv-
ing there about two months a Chinese
junk arrived from Singapore with 4
cargo of rice and the survivors went
on board her They stopped on the
junk for two months and then went on
in her to Pulo Madi and thence to
Singapore.

The amount of capital invested is gil
gantc. The fiscal reason would suffice
to kill the scheme for government rail
ways. Governmental ownership would
throw the whole budget out of gear; the
revenues and expenditures of our rail
ways would be two or three times as
great as all the rest of our revenues
together, and the entire budget would
depend upon the temporary prosperity or
lack of prosperity of the railway system.
We know that in bad times the revenues
of the railways in this country shrink by
tens and even hundreds of millions of
dollars. This would SO embarrass the
whole revenue side of our budget as to
lead to a complete revolution not only Of
our tax system, but also of our entire
budgetary methods. This point, which
has commonly been overlooked is of con
siderable Significance. Gunton's Maya
