SALISBURY VAS ABSENT.
Widespread Speculation as to
 the Cause. ...

He Was Not Present When the Queen
 Breathed Her Last-It is Said He Re
 mained Away Owing to Strained
 Personal Relations Between Himself
 and Wales.
 New York, Jan 24.-Prime Minister SaliSbury'S absence from Osborne house during the queens last moments has not been publicly explained and causes widespread speculation, es- pecially i'll court and political circles.
 According to information from Lon don that has reached the World, Lord Salisbury remained away owing to the strained personal relations between him and the present king.
 The London Times. ill an editorial on the new king, partly affords q clue to the mystery where 1t says:
 We shall not pretend that there is nothing in his lengthy career which those who respect and admire him could not wish otherwise
 These warning words are said to re- fer not to the Mordaunt case of thirty years ago, nor even to the Tranby Croft scandal, but to q more recent episode concerning which the Marquis of Salisbury, oh behalf of the queen, read the Prince of Wales q severe lee ture. which accounts for their now re- ported unfrie ndly relations.
 The serious aspect of this matter is that under such a condition of things Lord Salisbury'S tenure of the pre- miership cannot endure long. and then the Unonst government will go to pieces
