Queen Victoria is dead. She passed
away Tuesday, surrounded by her physi-

Prince OF Wales is now King of Great
Britain and Ireland and Emperor of In
dia. The Queens death places him on
the throne as her legal successor. He will
reign as Edward VII.
The Queen died at 6:3O o'clock Tuesday
night in Osborne House, ut Cowcs, Isle
of Wight. The end of this career, never
eQualed by any woman in the worlds s
history, came in simply furnished room.
This most respected of all women, living

The Old-Tin,crs,

Sir William Muir ut the age of 81, il
about to leave his position ut the head OF
Edinburgh University. During the In.
dian mutiny lie performed his first pub
lie service, when he was in charge of the
intelligence department at Agra.
Captain Jonathan Norton of Lee,
Mass, expired Dec. 12, aged 1O5 years.
He died in the belief that some more for
tunate person will fathom the mystery
and bring about the fruition of his life's
struggle--perpetual motion. Captain
Norton wrote President Mckinley in
forming him he was about to realize his
dream and offered the machine to the
government. He received reply from
the President to the effect that if the
machine was success he would interest
himself in the matter.
Alison s. Sherman, who was Chicago's
third Mayor, is still living, at the age of
50 years. He was born in Vermont. His
present home is in Waukegan, and he
seldom visits the city over which he ruled
90 many years ago. He moved out of tho
town before the big fire.
Prof. Giovanni Schiaparelli, director Of
the Brera observatory Mt Milan, has been
retired after forty-two years of service.
He is celebrated for his discovery of the
canals in Mars. His observations on me-
teorites, on the double stars and on the
planets Mercury and Venus are Of the
highest astronomical value.

EXTRA SESSION likely.
Fifty-seventh Congress May Convene
Eefore December.

ftS-seventh Congress May Convene
Eefore December.
a Washington correspondent declares
that an extra session OF Congress looms
up as inevitable. The legislative hopper
is overtllcd with bills which must be
passed during the remaining legislative
days. Hitherto the champions of tlp
shipping bill have disclaimed any desire
to favor an extraordinary session. But
they row proclaim openly t.lat unless
the ship subsidy bill is passed this ses
sion the President will be induced to con
vene the Fiftyseventh Assembly before
the regular session i'll December. The
ostcnsible excuse for this call will be to
act upon the Cuban constitutional con-
vcntion. lit becomes evident that the
Cuban delegates will be unable to pre-
sent the framework of their indepen-
dent government until after the life OF
the present Congress has expired. 1t is
equally certain that Great Britain will
not forward it's reply to the Hay-Paunce
fote treaty amendments until after adj
journment, and in view of the isonclad
agreement there can be no Nicaraguan
legislation this session. Likewise there
arises in the background the Supreme
Court decisions affecting the statNs Of
the island possessions, which pay de-
mand immediate attention from Con-
gress. To cap the climax, the war tax
reduction bill as reported by the SEN
ute committee invites Il great deal of hos
tility in the House, and the possibility
Of the enactment of war tax reduction
legislation is farther removed by the GER
tainty of deadlock i'll conference be-
tween the Senate and House. The SEN
ate reduction bill is totally different from
that passed by the House and is regard
ed by the members of the latter as often
sive and incquitable.
A deadlock between the two houses of
Congress is in sight with the war tax
reduction bill as the issue. Although
the Senate bill reported from commit
tee does not exceed the amount of re-
duction authorized in the House, the
character of the Senate bill is totally
different. The Senate committee replac-
ed the tax on bank checks, drafts, bills
of exchange, postal money orders and
many other items which the House re-
moved. 1t likewise repeals the stamp
taxes, rcpeals the tax on commercial
brokers' and abolishes other features
which We're present in the House bill.

FUNERAL OF LIEUT.. CARR.
Rough Rider Who Served With Dis
tinctfou in Cuba.

Funeral services will be held tomorrow
at 2 o'clock at St. Margarets Episcopal
Church, Connecticut Avenue Heights, over
the remains of Joseph A. Carr who died
OF heart disease yesterday at his residence,
2127 r street Mr.. Carr was a lieutenant
of Troop D, Rough Riders. in the Spanish
American war .ts
Lieut. Carr served with distinction in the
three hard fights of the Rough Riders.
rushing the Spanish ambush at Cervilla,
the battle of San Juan hill and confronting
the Spanish sortie in the attempt to drive
Roosevelts men from their position. In
this last engagement Lieut.. Carr was seri-
ously wounded, having been shot through
the body near the groin and also in the
hip. The bullet which made the latter
wound first struck pearl-handled knife
in the lieutenant's pocket. and carried with
it a part of the handle, thus making the
wound worse.
Lieut.. Carr was in a serious condition
from his wounds when he arrived at his
home in this city July II, 1898. Although
frai] in physique, and extremely delicate
looking, he exhibited the utmost nerve at
that time, and it was undoubtedly this
quality which enabled him to survive that
ordeal.
