vert for the Boers to capture and
loot, -his idea being to prevent the

THE POWERS' INDEMNITY.
China Would Not Object to Pay Two
Hundred Millions.
A deepateh from Pekin eays i -There
IS Considerable talk about the amount
ot the indemnity to be 4emand.ed by
the allies, and aboo•t Cleina'a abihity
to pay it. While it ie impossible at
this time to state accurately the am-
ount of damages directly traeeable to
the Boxer uprising, 0000,000,000 ie gen-
erally mentioned as the basis,
The national indemnities axe what

the biggest of all. It canebe stated
that doer bill will be from 'al5,000,000
to £16,000,000. England, according to
a, man who ought to know, will come
next with a, claim of about £12,000,-
000. Fraame has; oot spent 451000,000
and Italy only appropriated 10,000,000

Russia's motion in withdrawing from
the concert ot the powers and reaching
an agreement with China to sign a

that that Government need hardly be

How inany 'people kno that there
le still Heine a poer of ti. realm who
had he been born three days earlier
would at this moment be. the King
of England,: asks London Tit -Rite.
There le nothing more romantic) in
the hietorrof the thrOne of England,
going hook more: than a thousand
years, than the story of hoer this
mighty ,sceptre was plaged in the.
hands • 'of the girl -Queen whonow
reigns ;over oneecroarter of the hunian
race. Hod the Queen been born tour
days later the Victorian Era would
never have dawned, and the Doke' of
OuMberland, who le atilt entitled to
sit in the House of Lords, would have
been reigning in England an Gorge V.
The Duke is a great-grandson • of
George III., ands, therefore, cousin of
t4e Queen. His father, who lies buri-
ed at Windsor, was the late King
George V. of hanover,grandson of
George III., and was born on May
27th, 1819.. Three days before Queen,
yietoria had been horn, and, bp-
iegethe eldest in the 114e�f sUeceesioll,
slao waa destined for the throne WhiSh
her boycousin had inisied by three
day. Et Ss interesting to reflect on
what might have happened if the
Queen had been born a week later.
She .Would have doubtle2ss been one of
the m,any Royalties of Whom , historY
knew nothing More than that they
were born, and in the fulnes,s of time
hurled in the faintly vault.
: ' CREATED A SENSATION.
The, Duke would have ascended the
throne as George V., and as he died �n
June' 12th, 1878; there Would have
been no Diaanond jubilee and n� long-
est reign. The present Duke Ernest
of Camberland, would hare eueceeded
hiS father, and vretild now have reign-
ed exactly tWenty-one years. As it is,
the Duke has not ott foot in England
since the. death tif his .fOther. is in
lels fifty-fourth year, and is- naa. vied
to a siker of ne Princess of W. ;es
and the Czarina. of Itusele.
It Was Duke Ernesi, Who had lost
the throne by three.days, whocreated
a great eonsatlen at the time of the
Queeto.'s accession by 'threatening Her
lilajestY with a law -suit: .The Queen
had Worn at her coronetlon some of
the femme% Ounaberland jewels, which
the duke'elaimed es•direct male heir..
hey Majeety clung to the jewels,
which had (been handed 4.o her on her
succession, but eventually the preci-
ous gems were given up, and they are
now Worn by the proud wife of Duke
Ernest. They are but poor compensa-
tions, hoivever, for the • lose of a
throne.
Another trifle which might easily
have prevented the accession of the
Queen -and, indeed, the accession of
the House of Hanover -occurred in
1701, when the succession of the Elec-
these Sophia of Hanover and her de-
scendants wore deterrained by the
Committee of 'the Haase of Commons.
The Act bf Settlement aroused little
enthesiesm, and there was rarely an
attendance of More than fifty zoom -
herr in the House. The name of the
intended heir was proposed by it
member of very little weight hi Par-
liament, who was regarded as an ea -
and died mad a few years
later.
This lack tit interest 'nth() prooeed-
ings came veithin an ace of depriving
George 1. of hie throne. The resolu-
tion was pat an the 14th of May, 1701,
Ansi, though the figures cannot be ac-
curately traced, there is good reason
to believe that it was passel by a
single vote at n'late hoar of the
nigh t.
Two etories are told kino Wing 01.1
what it trifle this momentous change
depended. According to one, Sir
A.rthur Owen, the baronet who gave
the 'deciding vote, was only able to
vote by travelling an fast as nuttier-
eits relays of horses could

and the other version is that Sir
Arthur Owen was talking With. Mr.

the two Members iti the heoahl-
esi
them in in. the knick of time, and
they oast their vetee for the propos-
al. Ilad the member kept his seat,
the dory runs, Sir Arthur Owen and
Mr. Rine would have been tunable to
vote, and the Act of Settlement would
never have beau paseed.
