Regretted by the Members.
Among the members of the House who
expressed regret orer the death Of Queen
Victoria were the following:
Mr.. Cannon: AS I understand it, the
Queen of England is a mere igurehead'
the Government is in the Ministry. sup
ported by the House of Commons. There
no material influence on international
politics."
Mr. Pearson: Queen Victoria was the
most noble sovereign Of the most splendid
reign in the history of the world Owing
to the British form and method of gov
ernment of course, her death sill not
even seriously affect domestic or interna-
tional relations
Mr. Pearre: THE Queens death cannot
have any possible effect on international
affairs. The Queen had nothing to do with
the foreign policy of England. and Ed
ward VII will be guided by England's Min
isters the same as the Queen always was
Mr.. Fitzpatrick Of Kentucky. The
Queen wa a grand and noble character.
and all the world will sympathize with
England in this hour of her bereavement
The Government of England is such. how

friendly relations existing between Great

great and good woman, and her reign
will be remembered as one of the bright

Mr.. Norton OF Ohio: There will be no
change in the public policy between Eng
land and the United States because of the
Queens death. She has been q magnificent
and glorious Queen and has added largely

Charles :" Cole. Associate Justice OF
the Supreme Court of the District: Queen
Victoria was wonderful woman perhaps
the greatest and NEST remarkable woman
and ruler the world has ever known"
A. B. Hagner. Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of the District: Il en-
dorse the universal opinion of all good
people the world over, of Victoria this
ls beautifully expressed in Tennyson's de-
scription of her life and the excellence of
her character. Other great monarchs of
England are seen by US now through The
-nists which have obscured their faIlinss,
but this Queen stands well, amid all The
fierce light which beats upon her throne,
and secures for her the general tribute
that she really has been the greatest CT

Job Barnard Associate Justice OF the
Supreme Court OF the District Her reign
has been the greatest in history from
first 10 last it has been remarkable. The
