Of Prince Coma Told— The Crirnean War and the Indian Mutiny—Wellington the Greatest Man Dritehe Ever Produeed—Resige nation of Palmerston Received With 303's *•••••••••. tendons Oct. 20.—"Queeu Victoria's Letters," edited by A. C. Benson earl Lord Esher, and published this week, are tate( in Um preface to form "whet h arobably the most extraordinary Berice of 'State documente in the world:" They are a niop.umun o inuustry and. enduritig testimonial of devotion to ths, tweet of right and. a powerful status the to patriotism. over before has the country been taken into the confa stelae:: of a monarch with such frankness suld lack, of testrainte The letters published in these three laulky volumes cover the period of 24 near:, that elapsed between her acme- eioa in 18e7 and the death of the Prince aeries:et its 1801. There are some letters retertihg to the Queen's early life, in sehieh the writer refers to Lamle Leopold Le King of the Belgians, as providing the 'brightest epoch ot my otherwise melan- chola Qhildhood." On demo 19, 1837s the then Princess Vitoria wrote to her uncle, informing him of the itninitience of the death of Widiam 1V In speaking of her expected eteeesetott sale' said lend: forward to the event, which, le 'ems, is likely to occur soon, with tahuness and quiethess. I am not aIarni ed at it, and eat 1 do not suppose my- self quite equal at all. I trust, however, that with good -will, honesty and courage 1 shalt not, at all events, fail." This LAO concluded with the hope that "the All Powerful Being,• who has so long watched over thy destinies, will guide and eupport me in whatever situation and stattion it may please Him to place tima There are some naive remarks in a long description of the coronation, which the Queen wrote he her private journal: "Millions of my subjects showed good humor and excessive loyalty, and really J. cannot say how proud. I feel to be Queen of suck a nation. . . . When suy good Lord of Melbourne knelt down and kie,sea my hand he pressed my hand and I grasped his with my heart. . The Archbishop had most awkwardly put the ring on the wrong finger, and I had the greatest difficulty to take it off again, which at last I did with great pain, . . The crown hurt me a good deal." Albeft an Anel. The day adtee her marriage (February 11, 1838)s the Queen wrote to King Leo- pold ratan Windsor Castle: 'Dearest Uncle,—I write you from here the happiest, happiest being that ever O elated. Really I do not think it possi- ble for anyone in the world to be hap- pier or as happy as I am. He is an angel, and. his kindness and affection for me Is really touching. To look in those tlear eyes and dear, sunny face is enough to make no adore hint. What I can do to make hint happy will be my greatest delight and independent of my great per. 'sena' littppiness, "The reception we both met with yes- terday was the most gratifying and en- thusiastic I ever experienced. There was no end of crowds in London and all along the reeds" King Edward's Childhood. A letter written soon after the berth of the present King ran as follows: "Our little boy is a wonderfully strong and. large child, with very large, blue eyes, and finely formed, but with a eomewhat large nose and. pretty little enoutla I hope and pray he may be kike his dearest papa. Ire is to be call- od Albert, and Edward is to be his sec- ond name." Queen Victoria, although she con- fessed on one occasion to King Leopold that she grew to dislike polities, closely followed every' political question. She thus refers to Sir Robert Peers bill to Increase the grant to tbe Roman Catho- lic College at Maynooth: dlawkingham Palace, April 15, 1845. "afy Beloved Uncle,—Here we are in 'a great state of agitation about one of the greatest measures ever ptoposed. I am sure poor Peel ought to be blessed by Catholics for the manly and noble way in which he stands forth to protect and do good to poor Ireland. But the bigotry, wicked and blind passions it brings forth is quite dreadful, ana Mush for Protestantism. "A Presbyterian elergythan said very truly that bigotry is more common tbau aflame." Palmerston's Resignation. Between 1848 and 1851 there was friction between the Count and. Palmer- ston over the eonduce of foreign affairs, and finally the latter resigned. On Dee. • Srd, 1801, the Queen wrote to King Leo- pold I.: °Dearest TJnele,—I have the greatest pleasure- in announcing to you a piece of news which will give you as much satisfaction and relief as it does to us, and will do to the whole of the world. Lord Palmerston is no longer Foreign Secretary, and Lord Granville is already named as his successor. He had become of late really quite reckless and, in spite of the serious admonition and caution he received, only on the Oth of November, and again at the beginning of December, he tells Walewki that he entirely approves of Louis Napoleon's coup Walt, when lie had written to Lord Normanby, by my desire and that of my cabinet, that he (Lord Nottnauby) was to . continue his diplomatie inter- course with the French Governrnenabut was to remain perfectly passive an give no opinion?' • The Death of Wellington. In a letter to her uncle after her visit to Spithead, the Queen maele the fol. lowing teference to the British navy: "I think it is in these immense wooden walls that our real greatnese lies," And in another to the same corres- pondent ten years later she thus spoke of the Duke of Wellington: "I am sure you will mourn with us ever the loss Ivo and this whole nation 'have experieneed in the death of the dear and great old Duke of Virellington. Ile was the pride and the lion genie, as it were, of this country. He was the greatest man this country ever produced, and tho moat devoted and loyal subjeet, rod the etimehest supporter the Crown ever had, Ile Wass to us a true, kind friend and It 11104 valuable adviser, To think that all this is gone, that this great and immbrtal man belonga now to history and no longer to tho present -sae Is a truth whieli wc ciinnot tealiae." There are many letters referring to the Crimean war. One epeake of the "dreadful and inceleulable eoneequences of war weigh:lig up my heart.' An- other Tides Shitleceptareit words, "Ile - I-eq 4eut posodde eta4u4,4eact ni ifuleq. lug, fie.trurib v oeoutque v., ague ware of thee," as being deeply engraved on the hearta of all, Eng udimem Three years later, in 1807, there is Ole reference to the Indian ninthly: "We are in and anxiety about India) whit% engrosses all our attention, Troops can- not be raised fast or largely enough and the horrors committed on Poor ladles, women and dildren are unknown in these Ages and make' one'blood run cold. Altogether the whole is. so much more distressing than the Crimea, where there was glory and hotterable warfare and, where poor women and children were sal." • The booka ends with the death of the Prince Consort. The 'Queen pours out kor soul to her second father, Leopold Ie in her anguish as she had done in her joy: "Osborne, Dacenlhat O,isaille "My own dearest, kindest father, foi as such have I ever loved you. The poor fatherless baby of eight menthe is now the utterly broken-hearted and crushed widow of forty-two. My life as a happy ohe is ended. The world is gone for me.

New York, Oet..21.—In greeting the members of the American Electro -Chem - lea' Society and showing them through his laboratories and manufacturing plants at Orange, N. J., Thonnie A. Edi- son showed his visitors a. big model of a three-storey house. "I have had New York architects working on the plans of that," he said, "ami ani ready to begin on it myself. In fact, I already have made the moulds for the window casings. Next summer I will build just such a house within twelve hours at an expense of $1,000, and the man who labors on it will know that it was built on his basis of wage— $1.50 a day. "What I am rating to inaugurate," Ile said, "is this. bI am going to fashion east iron moulds for the entire house. This outfit will cost $30,000 for a house of this design. All the builders evill have to do is to Ind it up and pour in the concrete.Then they will allow six days for settling and drying and the family may move in. The east iron mould of that house may be used on countless other buildings." The economic value of this rests, for one instance, in that the house will nev- ee be in need of repair. The roof and Mors will be of concrete; the concrete will be made on the site; there will' be no fire insurance: as another instance of its saving value, the mail who owns the house can let the children hack at it with hatcbets and axes and lose noth- ing. There will be no wood in it save for a strip upon which carpets may be tacked. All of the more recent structures in the group of laboratories of Mr. Edison's plane are of cement made by him. • • IN THE AIR.

Strathy For Many Years Man. ager, Has n And Hamilton Man Chosen to Take Important Position. •••••••••••••..., Toronto despatch: H. S. Strathy, for many years the general manager of the Teeders Bank, handed in hie resignation to the board of directors at a special meeting held yesterday, He has accepted a seat on the directorate. Ilis snecedsor will be Stuart Strathy his nephew, of Hamilton, who, for a year, lms been . seting assistant general manegea The directors have not arrived at a decision as to whether an assistaut to the general manager will be appointed, or whether some new departments will be eaganized, At any rate, within a sltort thee several importent changes will be made in the head office staff. For the past year or two the business has hieteased so rapidly, and the ex- tention of the bank's agencies late in- volved so much extra labor, that Mr. Sera -thy, owing to his advanced. years, fauna the work more arduous than he felt he should. undertake. The directors, however, induced him to remain until arrangements eould be made ae to his successor. With this end in view, Stuart Strata was transferred about a year ago from Hamilton, the chief agency, and made assistant .general manager. Yesterday the chauge was completed, and the gen- eral manager's resignation was accept- ed on condition that he would consent to become a directpr. Substantial provision of a permanent nature has been made by the bank for 11. S. Strathy, in recognition of his long and valuable services in connection with the bank. His ability and in- dustry have largely contributed to the great success of the Traders, which to- day is in the front rank of the larger financial institutions in Canada. Stuart. Strathy brings to bear on his new position a life-long banking experi- ence, a record of careful and conserva- tive dealing, and a business integrity beyond question. The general policy of the bank, whieb has been so successful in the past, will be continued under the new manage- ment, and with that care and watch- fulness which are the personal °bare°. teristics of the new general manager, there can be no doubt as to tho future of the bank. His directors are well- known business men and capable of giving him every assistance within the power of a board to elite. SAVED LIVES. PLUCK OP NAVAL LIEUTENANT AVERTS TRAGEDY. Powder Escaped From Sack—Sailor Was Swinging Breech -Block Home When Officer Thrust Hand Into the Breech. New York, N. Y., Oct. 20.—That a turret accident on board' the United States battleship Connecticut, similar to those on the Georgia and several ether of the United States big fighting ships, was averted by the presence of mind and heroism of Lieut. William Mo- at Cronan, has just come to hilt through the summoning of a board of enquiry at the New York navy yards. ACcording to the story Lieut. Cron - an was in command of one of the eight -inch guns on the Connecticut, during's-recent target practice off New England. As the powder ebarge was thrust into the gun, the lieutenant no- ticed that from a small hole in the bag a quantity of powder had escaped and fallen into the threads. into which the breech -block of the gun screws. Realizing that the action of screwing the breach -block home would. ignite the powder before the block could be firmly screwed home, eausing the en; tire charge to explode in the turret, Lieut. Cronan shouted, an order evbich stopped every man in tho turret as he stood, except the man who was clos- ing tbe breech of the gun. He did. not hear the shout, and continued to awing the block home, es Lieut. Cronan sprang forward. and thrust his handinto the breech of the gun. The breech closed on his hand, badly mangling it, and cleanly rut- ting off the first finger, which fell into the grooves and causing the closing mechanism to cloe, The sailor at the breech of the gun fainted when be lis - covered what he had done, and what he had narrowly escaped doing. If the breech had been closed it is likely that every man in the turret would lia,ve been killed. • The Board of Thiquiry was eallea to determine how the hole eame into tbe powder bag: Lieut. Cronan refuses to discuss the theident. KIPLING TALKS.

There are hungry peoples prowl- ing about just looking for a thence." Speaking of Canada's "yellow peril," Mr. Kipling stated that, so far as the Ilindoos were concerned, he was con- fident no largo influx need be expected from that quarter. In Vancouver he had conversed with several of the re- cent Hindoo arrivals, and he knew they did not intend to remain permanently in Canada. They had not brought with them their wives or their priests and the climate eves not suited to those no- customea to the heat of India, dl once saw there," he continued, "a hail storm that brought the temperature down to 58 degrees, As a result hundreds of na- tives died from cold and exposure. Those who juive come to British Columbia, are of the best class of Hindooa, and. are as loyal as any subjects of the empire. They will retern to live in luxury as dol- lars," as they have made a few dol. Regarding tile Japanese, he declined to speak with any degree of authority. "It is idle," he said. "to expect that when labor conditions have created an immense vacuum of huudrede of thou- sands of square miles in the west noth- ing will blow in to fill up the vacuum, Britishi. Columbia faces the Pacific, and Vancouver is bound to become perhaps the greeted city of the Pacific coast. But you can't escape the wish of the western seas." Mr, Kipling himself premises to be- come a good immigration ageut for Cali- ada. "Are you taking back with you from Canada any raw nutthrial to be turned into literature?" he was asked. "I certainly intend to write up some- thing, about Canada as a result of my trip," he replied. He promised not to offend again by any "Ladyof the Snows" poetry,although he maintained that if any injustice were done the Canadian climate by that famous poem it wae purely unintentional.

ONE SHOWS DEPOSIT OF bo5,000 BY MRS. CHADWICK. Nothing to Show It Has Been Chequed Out—Officer of Bank Denies That Mrs. Chadwick Even Had Account There. Cleveland, 0,, Oct. 20.—The startling statement was made by Nathan Loeser, refire° in benkruptcy for Mrs. 011.540 L. Chadwick, last night that he had come into possession of six passbooks halve= Mrs. Chadwick as a depositor tuil banks in Cleveland and other cities. Aceording to oue of these passbooks Mrs. Chadwick was a depositor in the Second. National Bank of Pittsburg on June 10, 1902, to the amount of $305,- 000, and at other intervals during that month for smaller some. There are no marks indicating that the money has been checked out. Loeser is of the opinion that Mrs. Chadwick had the money on deposit in Pittsburg when she w a arrested, and that she never called Lor it. "Whatever money is found," said Mr. Loeser, "will go to the creditors, and not to relatives of Mrs. Chadwick. A Pittsburg despatch quotes Thomas W. \Web, jun., Second Vice -President of the Second National Bank of Pitts- burg,. as saying that MrsaCassie Chad- wick never had an account at the bank. .a-ts• • EMPEROR BETTER.
