WANT BRYAN'S VIEWS.
Chairman of House Coinage Commit.
tee Sends Invitation.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Chairman
Southard of the house committee on
coinage has sent the following dis
patch to Hon. W. j. Bryan at Lincoln,
Neb.
Gould you appear before the com
mittee on coinage, weights and meas
ures, or send your views as to finan-
cial measures pending there?"
The dispatch grew out of the re-
quest of Representative Shafroth Of
Colorado that Mr.. Bryan should be in
vited to express his views along with
others prominent in the financial
world who are being heard on the
pending bill, making all silver obliga-
tions redeemable in gold.

LONDON HEARS THE NEWS.
Queens Death BulIetned Just at tile

Queens Death BulIetined Just at tile
Close Of Day.
London, Jan. 23.-A scrap of pap 4r
a foot square, posted on the wall of
the Mansion House at 6:58 O'Clock,
gave the first notice to London s
homeward hurrying thousands of the
death of the empress-queen and the
advent Of king. Access to the bull
letin was difficult by reason of the
fact that excavations had been made
in the course of work of improving
the street. But the barred heads of a
silent group under Pickering gas jet
told the crowds on the bus tops and
sidewalks that the queen was no
more.
An hour later more than a thousand
newsboys had invaded the streets
with black-ruled newspapers, crying
"Death of the Queen" while through
the dark streets doomed the deep
toned notes of the big bell of ST.
Paul's cathedral and the bells of the
city churches re-echoing the news.
Mr.. Balfours message announcing
the queens death says her majesty
died peacefully.
Ali the theaters and places of enter
tainment, it is announced, will be
closed indefinitely
There is little doubt that the funer-
al of Queen Victoria will take place
at Frogmore, though nothing in re.
gard to this has yet been announced.
Her majesty was SO closely related
to the European courts, big and little,
that the gathering of royalty at the
obsequies will be unprecedented.
The news of the queens death
reached al the towns in the kingdom
a few minutes after it had been re-
ceived by the lord mayor of London
and was quickly spread throughout
the country districts by the tolling of
bells.

Peking, Jan. 23.-The foreign en-.

nese plenipotentiaries, especially in
the matter of punishments, and ex-
empted Isl Lien and Tsi Wing as be-
ing less guilty than the others. The
reply to the Chinese note will be de-
livered Thursday. 1t will emphasize
the point that the signing of the agree

faith is shown by acts and then it will
be absolutely useless to expect the
withdrawal of the troops or conces-
sions upon the part of the allies until
China has conciueively proved her
good intentions.

Cashier r1ussey's Health.

Charles w. Mussey, the Rutland bank
defaulter, who was pardoned by Pres-
dent Mckinley at the time because it
was claimed he was in dying condition,
has so far recovered his health as to be
able to enjoy a hunting trip to the Adj
irondacks. The CALIFORNIAN said at the
time that it was a clear case of hood
winked justice and it sees no reason to
change its mind now that Mr.. Mussev's
convalescence is so rapid. Our position
was endorsed by most Of the state
papers, and especially by the Boston
Herald which copied our editorial and
commented very severely on the rank
injustice of the pardon When a dshon-
est man is so well treated as Mr.. Mussey
it is pertinent to ask what reward in this
world awaits the honest man. Cashier
Lewis of the Vergennes bank can afford
to be convicted-especially if he has any
symptoms of appendicitis.

Col. Harvey's Latest Work.

Colonel George B. M. Harvey, the
PeacEam boy, who is winning laurels in
New York as president of the publishing
house of Harper & Bros, and editor of
the North American Review, has been
using his best efforts to settle the big
steel strike, Col. Harvey was instru-
mental in bringing President Shaffer of
the Amalgamated Association to New
York to meet Mr.. Morgan, and it is gen
orally believed in financial circles that
this meeting accomplished some coed,
though it did not settle the strike. Yer
monters are proud of Col. Harvey's lit
erary and financial successes and wish
him more of them. He is typical repre-
sentative of this strenuous and busy
century.

Miss Chapin's Great Honor.

The American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions has received from
the State Department at Washington
the announcement of an unusual distlnc-
tion accorded to one of the boards mis-
sionaries in China Miss Abbie G. Chaplin.
The honor was conferred upon Miss
Chaplin in recognition of special services
rendered by her in the course of the siege
of Pekin.
While all the women of the mission
rendered notable service at the time, Miss
Chapin's work in the International
Hospital brought her into prominent
notice. Following is copy of the letter
from the Charge d Afaires of the United
States at Pekin to Secretary Hay, under
date of April 25:

| have the honor to inform you that His
Majesty the King of England has been
pleased to confer upon Miss Abbie G.

sions the Royal Red Cross Decoration
for services rendered in the International
Hospital during the siege. The decora-
ton was presented to Miss Chaplin by the
British Minister, Sir Ernest Satow, at the
British Legation, on the 23d inst. Sir
Ernest awaited himself of the occasion to
say few words of commentator for
the excellent and unselfsh service which
had been given, and congratulated the
recipients upon the well-deserved reward.
The order of the Royal Red Cross was
founded ~ the late Queen eighteen years
ago, and up to this time, including the
four presented during the siege, only
niuety-two medals have been conferred.

recent church census of St. Johnsbury
shows the population to be 1892 which
is 1872 more than by the national census
last year and indicates healthy growth
that we believe is being experienced in
practically every large town in the state
with the possible exception of Benning-
ton. We think there is reason to believe
that Vermont is more prosperous today
and making more marked advance
along the industrial lies than at any
previous time since the civil war. The
croakers will doubtless continue to croak
but new blood and new ideas have been
injected into Vermont during the past
few years and the state is beginning to
feel the effects Oft Barre Times.
