THE PRINCE.

Albert Edward, prince of Wales
and now king of Great
Britain and Ireland, and the
empire of India, was born at Buck
ingham palace November 8, 1S41.
He is therefore just past so. He
studied under private tutors for
several years, passed one season
at the University of Edinburgh,
spent year at Oxford where he
attended lectures, and for four
years pursued his course at Cam
bridge. In 1860 he paid a visit to
the United States and Canada,
where he was received with the
distinction due to his rank. AL
bert Edwards titles are multitu-
dlnous. He is a K. c., a general
Of the army, colonel of hussars,
duke of CornwelI, duke of Rothe-
say, baron of Renfrew, and lord
of the isles of Scotland, earl of
Dublin and Carrick in Ireland,

livings in the church as duke of
Cornwall. His marriage with
Princess Alexandria of Denmark
took place March 10, 1868. He
has several children. The king
was chosen president of ST. Bar
tholomew's hospital in 1867. At
the close of the year 1871 he was
seriously i'll with typhoid fever,
which is about the only dangerous
sickness he has ever experienced.
A dignity which he esteems high
ly was conferred upon him in 1874
by his election as grand master
of freemasons of England. The
king likes fast horses and an
animal owned by him won the
Derby a few years ago. He is al
so fond of yachting and is a gen.
tleman sport of international repu-

Queen Victoria is dead and Edward

most stupendous change in existing

VARIOUS NOTES.

After a debate lasting three days, the
British House of Commons approved Sec
retry for War Brodrick's army reform
scheme by vote Of 305 to 1853, having
previously rejected Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman's condemnatory amendment by
a vote Of 327 to 211. The reform plan is
based on an increase of the army by 1l5, 600
regulars, $4,000 militia, $4,000 yeomanry,
and 10000 volunteers. The force for home
defence is to be raised to 680,000 men, and
three army corps and division of cavalry,
10000 men in all, are to be ready to be
sent abroad at any time. In the course o,
his speech closing debate on the bill, Mr.. A.
j. Balfour, the Government leader, cause a
stir by saying that at one moment toward
the end of 1899 there were in Great Brit
ain only $500 rounds of small-arm am
nunition, with no reserve of artillery am
munition, except what was actually with the
guns retained at home. He made thisIeve
lation in an attempt to fasten on the Lib
erals negligence in the matter of military
supplies.

German Brutality m China.
Attack on British Tug in the Pei
Ho Reasured in England.

The incident at Tientsin on May when
some German soldiers guarding German
bridge across the Pei Ho, at the south end
of the British concession, there, fired on
British tug, wounding two of her crew,
after the vessel had touched the bridge,
which impeded river traffic, is assuming a
graver character. Owing to the unsatis-
factory nature of the German commanders
explanation, the matter has been referred
to the British Minister at Pekin, Sir Err
nest Satow, with the wieao of diplomatic
action being taken.
According to a dispatch from Pekin to
the London Times, published to day, after
two Of the Chinese CreU had been fatally
wounded, the others were arrested, taken
to German prison, and fiOgged. Gen.
LOrne Campbell asked Gen. Won Lessel
for an explanation of the "unwarrantable
act of brutality" Won Lessels reply which
has just been received, promising that the
incident shall no be repeated, at least so
tar as the use of arms is concerned, is re.
garded as inadequate. The Times in an
editorial says:
Apart from the question of the flag which
the tug flew, we have no hesitation in de
clarng that such punlshmentS are out OF
all proportion to the alleged offence. We
would have condempe them if they had
been inflicted on coolies, sailing undec the
German flag, at Kiao Uhau. The fogging
proves that the German autorities deemed
that something more than two lives was
necessary to atone for the heinous offence
of running againts German bridge. We
viii want to know who the autOritips were
who took the law into their own hands and
executed it in this brutal fashion. The
fact that the crew dealt with IN this high
Eanded style were under the British flag
introduces serious factor. Won Lessel's
apology is an aggrayation of the original
wrong done US. 1t is not the sort Of sa-
titfaction we are likely 10 accept. Tientsin
is not the only place achere German are
disposed to forget that we are their allies,
and not their subordinates.
The Times concludes with condemna.

The Last d The Transports.
Abandonment of Service May
Mean Withdrawal of
Troops.
Only Two Transports Left
out of Ten.

The last trip of an army transport in the
Government service between New York and
Cuban and Porto Rican ports, according to
the present schedule, will be made from
Pier D on June 30. There are those who
believe that the abandonment of this ser
vice means the withdrawal of tie few troops
left from Cuba. Others say that it is still
too early for such move and that four
steamship companieS-the Ward Line. the
MunSon Line, the Red ID Line, and the New
York and Porto Rican Steamship Company
will be a.l0iced to share the little business
that is left
One who has seen Pier % at the time OF
activity in the transport service, when troop
ships swarmed about the slip and the quar-
termasters stores were pi ed high, when
truckmen fought for Space and soldiers sang
and cbeered, would hardly recognize the
place to-day. The only stores in sight seem
ed TO be supplies for the transports them
selves-collS of ropes, casks of oil, chains,
anchors, and small boats
OF the fleet of ten large transports that
used to ply between New York ana the towns
of Cuba aud Porto Rico, only two are left
on the line. These two, tie Sedgwick and
