ELFE AND THE SUCCESSION.
The gossip concerning the succession,
-which -was freely' indulged -in during the M-
imes of the Duke, has been greatly increased

haste will now be made in bringing about a
marria e of Prinee George to remove the

.. SORROW FOR IIIS STRICKEN PARENTS
A London cable, dated last night, says:
it is learned that most -distressing scenes
occurred at the bedside of the dying Prince.
Yesterday and last night since midnight on
Tuesday the Prince was either delirious or
wholly unconscious save for a few minutes
now and then, During his lucid intervals
he was most tender and affectionate to his
parents and others who were at his bedside.
Between 7 and 8 o'clock last night the con-
dition of the sufferer grew so bad that the
usual bulletin was delayed as it Was feared
that the end would come at any moment.
'Soon afterward he became a shade better,
• and toward midnight he fell into a sleep
which, while it was disturbed more tlaan
wird, was considered beneficial. At 2
o'clock this morning he again became worse
and the Members of the family who had
withdrawn from the room were hastily
summoned. They all remained at the bed-
side till death occurred. Both the Prince
and Princess of Wales look haggard and
worn out by their continued watching by
the bedside of their son. They are in
deepest distress, and nothing can afford
them consolation for the loss sustained.

death of the Prince of Wales and Prince
Geerge, the throne of England would fall
to the wife of the Duke of Fife, and 'after
her death to Lady Alexandra Duff, her
daughter, who is not yet a year old. This
possibilit'y is not viewed with equanimity
by the members of the nobility, who believe
that all the heirs to the throne
should be of the full blood royal.,
IS PRINCE GEORGE ENGAGED ?
HER FAVORITE GRANDSON.
• Although the Queen knew she was hop-
ing against hope the , announcement of the
Duke of Clarence's death was a great shock
. to her. He always had been her favorite
grandson, and his untimely death was a
most severe blow to her. She immediately
telegraphed a long message of sympathy to
the Prince and Princeas of Wales. She did
not forget in her Own sorrow the sorrow'
' that has come to the Princess Mary, whose
love dream has been rudely shattered by the
hand: of 'death. To her Her Majesty sent a
inekiage candoliia4 with 'her in her sorrow
and distress, and in loving words expressing
her eempathy. , She immediately ordered
. the Rake of Connaught to prooeed at once
to Sandringham to. represent her theft. 'She
elso ordered that the couitgo into frill

the' Duke would be a Beate:function and. that
it would be held in St. George's Chapel,

It is 'hinted very broedly that a marriage
between Prince George and Princess Vic-
toria Mary of Teck will be arranged. The
weekly paper, Modern Society, however;
to -day asserts that a marriage has already
been arranged between Prince George and a
daughter of Prince and • Princess Christian.
Princese Christian is the third daughter of
the Queen, and was married to Prince
Christian of Seldesweig-Holsteonder-
burg-Angustenburg on July 5, 1866. There
are four children of this marriage, two sons
and two daughters. The eldest daughter,
Princess Victoria Louise, was born May 3)
1870, and. the youuger, Princess Francesca
Jesepha, was born August 14, 1872.

prominent in English society who have been
ettacited by the disease are Lord and Lady
Brooke. The present epidemic has been
marked by the large number of ecclesiasti-
cal dignitaries whom it has claimed as its
victims Tbe latest victim is Right Rev.
Wm. Reeves D. D., of the Church of
Ireland, (Prot'estant), Bishop of Down. At
Chelmsford, in Essex, the number of 'cases
is particularly large, and the mortality is
very great. Many of the leading tradesmen
of the place have died from the disperse. In
Tiverton, in Devonshire, there have been
many deaths from influenza during the past
fortnight. Forty of the studenes and
attendants at the Catholic College at
Teignmouth, Devonshire, have been strieken
with the disease.
Advices from Paris show that influenza
continues to increase everywhere in France,
and the number of deaths resulting from the
disease is very large.
Despatches from Berlin and Vienna state
that the disease shows no sign of abatement
in German and Austria, though it is now as
a rule of a less virulent type than formerly.
In Belgium influenza continues to be wide-
spread in its ravages. A peculiar feature of
the disease in that country is that large
numbers of insane persons have been at-
tacked. At letuviiin there ' is located an
insane asyltim, whith Ives 500 inmates. The
disease has spread rapidly in this institu-
tion until many of the unfortunates are suf-
fering. The lunatic colony at' Ghent has
many victims despite every effort te check
it, and many of the residents of the colony
have aleeady died, while the condition of
others is such that no hopes are entertained
of their recovery.

the desirability of having greater uniformity
in the 'tariff of sheriff's fees. The idea that
prevailed was not that any differenceshould
be made to the public or ,litigante, but that
remuneration, should be made for certain
services for which the law at presentenakes
no pro -vision. Sheriff McKellar proposed
that fees for all services should be funded
and sheriffs paid by salary according to
work done. This did not meet the general
view and no action was taken.
An evening session was held at which it
was decided to hold an annual meeting in
-Toronto on the third Thursday in January.
Officers were elected as follows : President,
Pheriff Glass, Middlesex ; Vice-Preeident,
Sheriff Dawson, London; Secretary -Treas-
urer, Sheriff Davis, Haldimand ; Executive
Committee-SheriffreProotor, Ilossie, Watt
and Broady. The annual fee was placed at
$2.
Mr. John Winchester, Provincial Inspec-
tor of Legal Offices, attended and gave an
address on the duties of a sheriff, the meet-
ing expressing pleasure at his presence by
adopting a cordial vote of thanks.
The meeting adjourned at 11 o'cleek, well
satisfied with the result of their conference.

THE NEW HEIR•PRESI7MPTIVE.
The heir -presumptive, Prince George
Frederick Ernest Albeit, the second son of
the Prince of Wales, was born on June 3rd,
1865, and ie therefore in his 27th year: In
11379, in company with his brother, the late
Prince, he started on a voyage around the
world in the Bacchante. The voyage lasted
until 1882, when Prince George, having
been thoroughly grounded in the science of
navigation and, even in the common&
details of a sailor's life, was entered in
the navy. He displayed a remarkable
aptitude for Ms chosen profession and rose
rapidly, and on his own merits. When in
command of the gunboat Thrush a couple
of years, ago he was stationed at Halifax
for some time and 'paid a short visit to
Montreal.
As the younger son George was much in
the background, but his many lovable qualie
ties endeared him to his associates, and
their faithful reports won him a greater
popularity with the English people than his
moreexclusive elder brother ever obtained.
eorge was enera y suppose , too, to be
of much sterner stuff mentally than the heirs
presumptive, and the popularity of the
young successor will go far to temper public
sorrow for the dead prince.
George is of a slender but • well -knit
figure. His disposition is remarkably sunny
and his manners hearty and pleasing.

containing a gross libel on their grea
Hunloo god had been circulated by the
Bible Tract Society. A great slur was cast
on their god Krishna, and it was high time
to take steps to nip in the bud such mis-
representation, which greatly wounded the
religious feelings of the libadoos. He was
quite astonished on reading the contents
of the handbills. He advised them i0ji

handbills. It was a grdes outrage on the
god Krishna, whom they held in thehighest
esteem and reverence. They should take
steps to prevent the•libellers from desecrat-
ing their god in such aeway. Since the
Queen'proclamation of 1858 protested
their religious freedom, no one had a - right
to interfere with their religion. After sev-
eral gentlemen had expressed their opinion
in favor of organizing a strong protest
against the conduct of the missionaries, it
was unanimously resolved to ask the
maharajas to convene a monster meeting to
eitake steps in this matter, and to memorial-
ize the Goveinm,ent, praying for redress.- ,

Four other prisoners , were brought with
him. Dr. Graves was handcuffed to another
prisoner, and on the train updisplayed h
i
great deal of nerve, acting n an uncon-
cerned manner; but refusing to speak about
his case. As it was after midnight, and it
was not generally known here that the
doctor would be placed in jail, very few
people were at the depot when the train
arrived with the prisoners. On reaching the
jail the doctor was searched, but nothing
was found on him. He was then led to his
cell, being incarcerated' in those.cells in
which condemned murderers are placed. On
enteringethe cell where he is to spend the
few remaining days of his life, he said in a
broken voice "My God, this is horrible I"
He then threw himself upon the small iron
cot and requested the jailer to let him
alone. Dr. Graves was taken are the prison
barber shop this morning where his hair
and side whiskers were removed, and he
was clothed in the regulation prison- garb.
