Queen yiCtOria's way,

The Queens interest in and oversight
of public affairs did not cease with the
Princes death, although, in the first
years of overwhelming sorrow. 1t must
have been difficult to carry out her con-
ception of duty. All important rcsolu-
tons We're taken by her: the personal
notes in the Court Circular were
written by her own hand, and We're
seen by no one else. When Sir Henry
P0nsonby became the Queens private
secretary. she said to him Remember
this; no advice. ! am older than YOU
are, and have had more experience
In after years, historians will have
much to say upon the Queens personal
share in the government of her do

The AMAL6AHATED.
Association of Iron and Steel Wor-
kers Meet Next Week.
Many Delegates Expect to Attend at
Wheeling, West Va.

Wheeling, W. Va, April l2-Dur-
ing the coming week Wheeling will
entertain the annual convention Of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron.
Steel and Tin Workers, one Of the
lirgest and most influential labor or
gaaizations in America. There are
several things which promise TO give
unusual Importance 10 the proceedings
of the coming convention. The
convention will open Tuesday, and
according 20 reports, there will be
some opposition to the admission Of
delegates from some of the new lodges
owing to the fact that the scale rates
are not being pal in the mills VIII re
they were formed. If the lodges or
ganized in the east are given represen-
tation il is sal | they will be admitted
in violation # the institution, AMI
this will result in the continuation Of
the present administration.
The rival organization to the Anal
gsmated Association, recently formed
at Chicago, Milwaukee and other
points under the name of the Steel
Workers Association Of America, will
probably receive soine attention.
Notwithstanding the declarations OF
friendship made ty the W organ
isztion, IL is the general belief that
its success cannot but be inimicsl to
the interests of the Amaleamated
Association.
From the present outlook il is re.
garded rs unlikely that any demand
will be made for q change in the
base and card rates n the bar iron
scale. Unless the manufacturers
should ask for lower rates, which
thus far has not been in any manner
