Regulations for Artillery school.

Col. Ward acting adjutant general of the
army, today promulgated a new series of
regulations governing the United States
artillery school at Fort Monroe. Va. Some
changes are made therein in the old regu-
lations at the suggestion of Col. Randolph,
chief of artillery. The new order exempts
student officers from all ordinary garrison
routine, including courts-martial boards
of survey and such drills as are not in
cluded in the course of instruction. The
enlargement of Fort Monroe and the in
crease Of the garrison to eight companies
of artillery makes this change possible.
Col. Randolph thinks it is very desirable.
as the studies of officers should not be in
terfered with by other duties. In the
course of instruction art and science of
war has been dropped and coast defense
substituted. AS the artillery school at
Fort Monroe will be almost entirely attend
ed by officers of the coast artillery it was
thought that coast defense would be practi-
cally the art and science of war. Former
instruction under this head necessary for
field artillery will be carried on at the ar
tillery school at Fort Riley, Kansas. The
other features of the order are the same as
last year.

MIR. HAYS VISIT TO CANTON.
No Especial Significance I'm the Cor
ference With the President.


ference With the President.
Secretary Hay will leave for Canton in a
day or so, probably tomorrow, but his plans
do not contemplate departure today, as
has been stated. More significance appears
to have been attached to the visit to the
President than the facts warrant 1t ap-
pears that the President invited Mr.. Hay
some ten days ago. When the President is
in Washington there are frequent opportu-
mites for consultation with his cabinet ad-
visers, but owing to the absence Of both
the President and Mr.. Hay there has been
no opportunity for such an exchange be-
tween them for something over a month.
Although it is quite evident that the visit
will give an opportunity for going over the
disturbed condition in South America. the
Chinese situation and other pending inter-
national questions, yet there is reason to
believe that the meeting has no special
reference to any one of these topics, but is
more with a view to affording opportunity
for q general exchange between the Presi-
dent and the Secretary Of State.

THE CHINESE NEGOTIATIONS,

Minister COnEer and Mr.. ROckhfll
VIII Make Plans to Conduct Them.
The arrival of Minister Conger at Pekin,
reported by dispatches, makes rather in
definite the question whether he will take
up the Chinese negotiations at the point to
which they have been brought by Mr.. Rock
hill, thus leaving Mr.. Rockhill free to come
home, or will leave the negotiations in
Mr.. Rockhill's hands until the final signing
of the protocol. The State Department will
not send any specific instructions on this
point, but will leave it to Mr.. Conger and
Mr. Rockhill to arrange plans to their
mutual convenience.

MINISTER wU'S SON.
Might Have Been Excluded From This
County but for Foresight.

WI Ting Fang, jr., the son OF the Chi
nese minister recently had an experience
with the Chinese exclusion act. Young Wu
is at school in New Hampshire, and his
fellow students wanted him to go on an
excursion that would take them through
Canada, returning to the United States by
another route. 1t was found at the last
moment that young WI would probably be
detained when he returned to the United
States, and so the excursion had to be post
poned until the treasury officials could
write document that would keep the i'm
migration officials from bothering the
young Chinaman on his return from Cam

House Bill to Establish Home

People.

Washington, Jan. 21-The house to-
day after devoting some time to Dis
trict of Columbia business, passed a

the rules. They were to provide a
home for aged and infirm colored peo-
pie out of the fund now in the treas
ury to the credit of deceased colored
soldiers amounting to about $3.50, 900.
To establish branch soldiers home at

iously ill while last at Balmoral in the
autumn. No word of this became
public, but it appears that she was
then almost dying, though that rig

upon her own family and attendants
prevented her condition being even
spoken of as dangerous. The present

Cured at Balma1ol.
Shes will not be only the longest
lived monarch in Englands' history,
but also possessor of the most mar

is taken to be sad coincidence that
Sunday is the anniversary of the
death of Prince Henry Of Battenberg,
for whom special memorial services
are always held.
The arrival Of the prince of Wales at
about O'Clock this afternoon ac-
companied by Home Secretary Ritchie
and arrival of the princess of Wales
at 10 O'Clock tonight occasioned no
scenes Of any kind They embarked
upon the royal yacht Alberta and
went up the little river separating
Cowes from Osborne Entering the
royal carriages they were driven
through half a gale which prevailed
straight to the royal residence. Mr..
Ritchie, it is understood, was special
ly summoned to supervise details of
handing over to the prince of Wales
the necessary authority to transact
state business Though no official
announcement of this transfer appears
to be constitutionally necessary Or
likely to be made, the tiny town of
Cowes and across the Medina river the
town of East Cowes are both filled up
with people from all parts of the
world and rents have risen to fabulous
prices.
The prince of Wales will go to Lon
don Sunday morning, where the duke
of York will meet Emperor William.
Whether the emperor will proceed to
Osborne depends upon the result of
this interview.
2:10 a. m.-The queens condition
is unchanged.
3 "a. MT is announced that al,
though there is some slight improve
ment, her majesty's condition is most
grave. g. L. Ritchle secretary of
state for the home department., will
arrive at Osborne today and it is ex-
pected that Lord Salisbury will ac-
company him. The prince of Wales
has arrived at Osborne.

HARLAN'S APPOINTMENT CON-
FIRMED BY SENATE.
The SESSION
Chandler and Hawley Engage in
Colloquy Which Becomes
Decidedly Personal.

Washington, Jan. 21-The senate
has confirmed the nomination Of James
S. Harlan of Chicago, son of Justice
Harlan of the supreme court, to be at
torney general Of Porto Rico
When the nomination came up TODAY
Senator Pettigrew spoke against con-
firmation. Mr.. Pettigrew professed to
believe that purpose of the appoint
lment was to influence Justice Harlan's
decision in the Porto Rico case.
The final vote was reached after
discussion Of more than two hours
duration and when announced stood
43 to 81 in favor of confirmation. All
the republicans cast their votes in the
affirmative and two or three democrats
voted with them.
The session was characterized by q
spirited colloquy between Senators
Chandler and Hawley in which bitter
personal language was used The
controversy between them grew out of
a letter written by Senator Chandler
in 1877, and which was read by Sena-
tor Pettigrew, concerning the contro-
versy over the Hayes Tllden election
in which reference was made to the
part taken by Senator Hawley and
Justice Harlan, neither then occupy
ing his present place, in the settlement
Of the Louisiana controversy Of that
time. In that letter Mr.. Chandler
stated that commission of which
these two gentlemen were members
had been sent to Louisiana by Presi-
dent Hayes to destroy the Packard
state government. This having been
accomplished Mr.. Chandler said the
president then undertook to "recog-
nize" the members of the commission,
giving General Harlan the appoint
ment of an associate Justice and offer
ing General Hawley the place of di-
rector of the Paris exposition, which
the latter declined. Chandler said be-
cause of the inadequacy Of the salary
when this point in the. article was
reached Mr.. Hawley interrupted IN
a somewhat excited manner to de-
nounce the statement as false which
he did in very emphatic and plain
language.
Mr.. Chandler replied in like man
ner, saying that the article had been
prepared by him % years ago; that it
had never been contradicted and that
he still stood by it He added that
the whole subject was ancient history
and announced his intention to vote
for Mr.. Harlan's confirmation.

announcement: Dowager Empress
Fredericka, because seriously ill, is to
her very great sorrow prevented from
going to Osborne to meet her exalted
mother. The effect of the sad news
regarding Queen Victoria upon her
eldest daughter has been very unfav-

upon learning of this, had intended to
go to Cronburg in order to inquire
personally as to the condition of the
kaiser's mother, but later news from
Cronburg was somewhat more reas-
surfing.

at the serious condition of her majesty
and of anxiety as to the outcome.
Prayers for her were said in most of
the churches yesterday and IN the
larger cities, crowds have surrounded
the newspaper bulletin boards all
morning, waiting for news. Already
it has been decided to postpone a
number of balls and other social func
tions.

REGRET IN FRANCE.
Sorrow at Approaching Demise of Queen
Victoria.

Paris, Jan. 81, a. President
Loubet has received a telegram from
the prince Of Wales thanking him for
his message of sympathy.
The Figaro says that the death of
Queen Victoria will be much regret
ted in France, not only because she
has always been pacific, but because
she has always shown fondness FOR
France. 1t refers to the hostile atti-
tude of the nationalists towards Eng
land as leading to a desertion by the
English of the health resorts of France
and asks if the prince of Wales, when
king, will abstain from visiting the
country.

would be able to keep the queens fee
BILE life in existence until the prince of
Wales arrived. To secure this result
they resorted to the use of brandy and
champagne. This twas used to an ex-
tent only which the great emergency
justified, and when the prince Of
Wales and Emperor William entered
the castle grounds at II 80 a. M they
found the queen trifle better than had
been expected.
The desperate remedies employed
Monday morning to enable her majesty
to live until her eldest sons arrival
will not be used again to the same
extent, for the doctors are fearful
that the remedy might be almost
worse than the disease. They trust
to the prolonged sleep, followed by
moderate application of stimulants
and accompanied by as much nourish-
ment as can be assimilated. Such
expedjents as were resorted to Sunday
and Monday morning are not con-
sidered justifiable. The queens rally
astonished no one more than her ply
sicians and when at O'Clock yester-
day morning they heard her ask for
chicken broth, their amazement almost
exceeded their delight. Privately.
however, they build no false hopes
upon these fading signs of what has
been one of the strongest constitutions
with which woman was ever en-
dowed.
Despite the favorable afternoon the
doctors dreaded the period up to mid
night. When that was safely passed
they seemed hopeful of her majesty
living at least through another day,
although the memory of the previous
nights relapse kept their feeling at
high tension. The news uf the death
when it occurs is likely to be publicly
announced in London before it is an
nounced here, as according to all ar
rangements the first telegram is to be
sent to the lord mayor of London
There is an enormous telegraphic staff
in Cowes and additional facilities were
installed yesterday at Osborne.
Already the villagers are bewailing
the fate that is likely to befall Cowes,
for it is known that the prince of
""ACo WAL uCNC1 udhO oo-
borne house a place of residence.
There is an entire absence of local ex-
element. The town has settled down
in patience and sadness to await the
inevitable. Never has Emperor Will
lam arrived at any place in England
with so little eclat. No salutes were
fired, no cheers were given The men
Of the guardship Australia silently
manned her sides. The crowd was
equally undemonstrative the people
contenting themselves with barring
their heads.
5 a. MP 10 this hour no further
bulletin has been issued. The cores
pondent of the Associated Press here
is Informed that the queens condition
has undergone no change. The queen
is expected to live until Thursday
morning, unless unexpected complica-
tiOns occur.

KEPT UP BY STIMuLANTs
Physicians Hopeful That Life
May Be Sustained for
Another Day.

Cowes, Jan. %, 1, a. m.-Another
day in the Victorian era, now so rap
idly drawing to a close, passed with
out any great change in the condition
Of Queen Victoria. The slight i'm
provement SO frequently mentioned
in the official bulletins merely indi-
Gates postponement of the inevita-
BILE. The end may be matter of days
or only of hours, but the members of
the royal family, who are now drag
ging out a weary visit to Osborne
house, know that the death of her
majesty is merely a question of a
short time.
The most noticeable feature of yes
terday was the satisfactory portion the
queen spent in consciousness, which
she regained early in the afternoon
and still retained at 10 p. m. At
that hour she had not seen Emperor
William, local rumors to the contrary
notwithstanding. Royalty at Osborne
thus had chance to recuperate from
the terrible ordeal undergone during
the early hours of Monday.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press is informed that the members
of the royal family were called to a
room adjoining the queens bedcham-
Der no less than four time yesterday
morning and were kept in momentary
expectation Of being summoned to
witness the end up to $50 O'Clock.
Her majesty's physicians then had
only q vestige of hope that they
