queenly presence, that there was 'a simplicity and charm in her demeanour that was all her OWA.

The way in which she won the heart of Sir Edwin Arnold may be quoted as a fair and yet beautiful example.

"Among all the many times," says Sir Edwin, “which my eyes have been so happy as to look on that kind face and ever beloved formi. that one particular moment lives, most of all in my re- collection when at her fast I kissed the small and gentle hand which holds `so: vast an amount of sovereignty, and felt upon my neck, fastening there the badge of her Indian Empire, the touch of these queenly fingers

no social habitude, no long worldly experience, or habitual self confidence would keep the glance from sinking before those quiet eyes, that state-worn face, that sweet voice and tender. look which give the knee desire to kneel. 1 felt then how impossible it would be to convey to those who have never stood face to face with her Majesty any sufficient sense of the influence of the sovereign;none who have been honoured as guests of Her Majesty and have tarried in her presence will fail to testify to the extreme majesty of bearing, mingled always with the most perfect gentleness and amiability. Her voice has always been pleasant and musical to hear, and the hand that bears the triaent of the Seas is the softest that can be touched; the eyes which have grown dịn with labours of state and with too frequent tears are the kindest that can be seen."

This is but a type of the testimony borne by

that gracious presence. But still more do we thank God for what our queenly Woman and womanly Queen has done in the purifying of British social life. When Victoria the Good came to the throne there prevailed in British society a coarseness of manners and pro- fanity of conversation now well-nigh inconciey- able: Profane wearing and filthy conversa- tion was common amongst men and women of the highest rank. The influence which more than any other has put an end to much of this vulgarity and profanity has been the pure domestic life of Queen Victoria, The Queen and her Consort lived such conspicuously blameless lives in the earnest and effective dis charge of their family and public duties that they have been the means, through God, of in- troducing a high moral tone into the life of the entire nation. "Her Court was pure." This. is one of the highest tributes that ever has or ever will be paid to the memory of England's long-reigned Queen. And because of her pure. and gracious, her loyal and Godfearing woman. hood, from the moment the fair young Queen had vowed her Quacnly vor even until now, The living have shouted "May she live 3 Victoria live !** And as the loyal shouts went up true spirits have prayed

**believe

The biasings happy monarchs have be thine, oh czóward

Queen

And now these loyal shouts are silenced for ever and the work of our great good Queen is over.

The shadow of her loss draws like sclipse

Darkening the world. We have lost her, she is gone, We see her us the moves.

How modest, kindly, all accomplished, wise,

With what sublime repression of herself

What limits, and how tenderly

Not swaying to this faction or to that

Not making her high plaze the lawless perch

Of winged antinus, nar a vantage ground

For pleasure; but through all tits tract of years

Bearing the white flower of a blameless life' Before thousand peering littlenesse

And that fierce light which beats upon a throne. And we, her queenless subjects, can only thank God that our British history has been enriched by such a noble reign, fraught with the most momentous possibilities for our nation in the death of our beloved sovereign; the sha- dow of her eclipse may reach further than, we suppose to-day and last longer than we imagine: international dangers may arise; in the things present and in the things to come, in the heights of possibility that gleam above us or in the depths of the natural gloom. and calamities in which are now plunged. There may be much trouble and make us anxious. But glory be to God if we be in Christ! Sursum corda - Uplift the voice of triumphant confidence! Our beloved Queen is dead, but we know that our Redeemer liveth! Above all gloom and confusion He sits en- throned dominant, regnant! We know not what the future brings of marvel or surprise, we know not what lies concealed within the womb of time, nor do we greatly care, for we are persuaded,absolutely, irrevocably convinced that neither life, nor its negative death, neither powers angelic nor powers diabolic, no forces mysterious, irresistible, uncomprehended, no powers malignant, neither time present nor time to come, neither the bewildering heights| nor the reeling depths of possibility, can se parate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord,

AT THE MAGISTRAGY.

SERIOUS STABBING AFFRAY AT THE SAILORS HOME.

Before Mr. Hazeland this morning, a Hung arian sailor appeared, as the result of a quarrel he had with another last night, The defendant was born and brought up in Germany and has been several years travelling in and out of Cardiff. The complainant was a watchman at the Sailors' Home, West Point, but ho was discharged from his employment on

Saturday for misbehaviour. The two men had a quarrel as the result of the defendant telling the complainant that he had come to take his place as watchman at the Home. The discharged watchman then said if he had come for his job, he could also have |· his stick, and he then proceeded to give the defendant his stick, for which gift the sailor was not thankful. A librarian at the Home told them to avoid a fight and he, thinking his advice would be taken, went into the Home. He im mediately afterwards returned and found the complainant upon-the-ground, covered, with blood, and with the defendant on top of him, holding him down. The watchinan had a big gash on the face, and was losing a lot of blood. The wound was caused by a small, penknife and was certified by Dr. Bell to be not serious, but, if the cut. had only been a little lower, the watchman's condition would have been precarious,

Sergeant Sim arrested the defendant, and His Worship, on a plen of guilty, sentenced the sailor to six weeks' hard labour." He took into consideration the fact that they were both drunk at the time of the quarrel.

$ HEAVY FINE FOR OPIUM.. Cho Yung, a shopkeeper, of 6 Wing Lo Lane, stood before. Mr. Kemp this morning. charged with being in unlawful possession of 15 taels of prepared opium. He was arrested by F.

Chan Sam, of no ečcupation nor fixed abode, was charged before Mr. Hazeland this morning with burglariously breaking and entering the house Burd Street and stealing therefrom clothing to the value of 58 yesterday,

The defendant stated:-A foki who was formerly employed there sent me up to get back some of his wages. I got in from the roof. The bundle was taken by the other man.

THEATRE ROYAL,

On Saturday night Pollard's. Lilliputian) Opera Company performed The Lady Slavey 10 a crowded house. The performance was in every way worthy of these extremely clever young people. The part of the extravagant Irish major was well ŝlled by Master. Harold Hill, who appears at home in this character. The honours of the evening must be divided between Miss Madge William's and Master Willie Pollard. The former looked very sweet and quaint in her waiting maid's dress, and her acting was as usual, charming. Master Willie Pollard as the Sheriff's Officer, Roberts, was excellent, especially when Roberta takes on the duties of a butler, and makes love to the | Lady Slavey. Miss Ivy Trott as the Millionaire. was very good and her quiet restrained acting was very pleasant to watch. Miss Irene Gould- ing as Lord Lavender and Miss Agnes Turner as the adventuress were good The parts of Maud and Beatrice, the Major's daughters, were well filled by Miss Alice Bennetto, and Miss Minnie Topping, whose charming dancing and singing were as usual much appreciated, and fully deserved the encores they received. The minor parts were all well filled, and contributed to the success of a charmingly acted plece. The dances were extremely pretty and graceful and the staging and lighting were "beyond criticism.

This is the last weak.of the above clever little people in Hongkong this season. To night they give their last performance of The

THE VICEROY AND INDEMNITIES. (From Our Own Carrespondent.)

CANTON, January 26th. Now that the claims of the different missions: during the late trouble are practically settled, the Acting Viceroy has delivered himself on the subject of indemnities. He has given notice that this trouble was exceptional, and irrespective of the justice or injustice of the claims, payment has been made as the surest way of affecting a peace and preventing further trouble, But just because the late troubles copy corps. The Christians are Chinese subjects and all disputes must be settled by the local officials without the intervention of the missionarica Christian and non-Christian disputes must be settled upon the same basis. The inference is that hereafter Christians will not be indemnified for losses. If, as the Vicemy states, the con- its were treated as other Chinese and their legal disputes were settled as promptly and as justly as those of other Chinese, missionuries would not interfero, but it is well known that when a Christian takes a case into, court he is) tainted with being no longer a Chinese subject, and therefore without rights, and it is practically impossible for him to get his case judged at all.

Regarding the statement that the late settle- ment will not be regarded as a precedent, it may be remarked, that the Viceroy is but re- peating the tactics of his predecessors. A few years ago a small indemnity was paid for the destruction of a chapel. The official prepared a receipt for signature. The receipt stated that the payment of the money was a matter of, favour, "Yen Tio," and not of right.. Of course the missionary refused to sign the receipt."On another occasion the Viceroy stated in note accompanying the indemnity money that as a matter of respect to the "minister" the money was paid.

But perhaps all the tricks resorted to by the Chinese to save face are not as objectionable as the method which the Turkish government has taken in settling the indemnity demanded by the U. S. government for mission property da stroyed at Harpit. The Turkish government. has bargained for a battle ship with an Ameri- can firm, and the firm agrees to pay the in- demnity out of the price received for the ship. It is difficult to understand how the U. 3. gov ernment could be a party to such a method of settling a claim.

THE DEATH OF HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN.

HOW THE NEWS REACHED SHANGHAI.. The M. C. D. News, of 24th instant, thus an- nounces the death of Her Majesty

"It is with the very deepest sorrow that we announce the death on Tuesday evening after aİ gallant struggle, of Queen Victoria, the greatest, kindest, bravest, trust, and best Queen that ever lived. God's love, in Tennyson's words, has replaced her by the side of the husband she lost thirty-nine years ago, and has never ceased to mourn. She has gone, the grand old lady to whom all the peoples of the world looked up with reverence, and it will be a new world to all of us without, her. The terms of the talegram, which left London at 9.50 p.m. on Tuesday, are

"The Queen died at half-past six, surrounded by her children and grandchildren, Parliament meets to-morrow. The King comes to London immediately to take the oath on his accession.

The mourning that our Consul General asks us to assume we shall all wear in our hearts 23 well as on our sleeves. The grief that the Royal Family are feeling we all share, and we can realise the sadness with which the King whom God preserve, must have entered yester day into his heritage."

Intrigues of a Serious Nature are reported to be existent at Hsian, the prin cipal of which are these between the notorious and bigoted Lu Ch'uan-lim, Grand Councillor and former Governor of Kiangau, and Tsên Ch'un-hatin, presant Governor of Shensi, bath while the Court remains in Hsian. At present Governor Tsen holds greater influence with the Empress Dowager and also possesses the military power of the province as its Governor, which Lu Chan-fin, on the other hand, does not hold and without which he finds himsel! unable to do anything against his rivals for power. With this end in view we are now in formed through various sources that Lu Chuan- in has telegraphed to General Feng Tie-tsai, a celebrated Cantonese General in the South, now Provincial Commander-in-chief of Kuei- chou, "to lead an army of some 15,000 men of all arms to go up to Hsian with all husté and, there await the orders of the Grand Council" Apropos of these orders we learn frons reliable! sources.that there is little likelihood of General" Têng Tze-ts'ai going up to the Northwest, even although he may be occupied in mobilising his army, the result of which cannot but be dis- appointing to Lu Ch'uan-lin, as time may show

in the near future.

Ta Pin, an expectant Tactai of Kiangsu and, a protégé of Yung Lu, who was given an Im- perial audience at the strong recommendation! of Yuan Shih-kai last year, has just arrived at this port from Hsiam, en route for Shantung, where he has lately been given the lucrative post of Grain Intendant. The Su Pro has received a telegram from its Hoian correspon- dent to the effect that, at the request of H.I.M. Kuang Hsu, the Empress Dowager has ordered the Grand Council to propose posthumous honours to be bestowed on Hsu Ching-ch'èng, Yuan Chang, Hsu Yung-yi, Lien Yuan (Manchu) and L. Shan (Manchu), the five patriots who were executed by Imperial decrees in July and August last, either for their pro-foreign propensities or for their dis- belief in the supernatural powers of the Doxers.

Reported Intentions of the Court.

Viceroy Lin K'un-yi, continues the Universal Gazette, has received a confidential telegram from the Refugee Court at Hsian, ordering him to communicate to the Foreign Ministers at Peking the following proposals of the Chinese Government :-

1-To inflict any other punishment than that of death on any Prince of the Royal blood for his complicity with the Boxer trouble,

To dismantle the Chinese forts of their guns without rising them to the ground, as demanded by the Allied Powers, and

3-To suspend the Provincial Examinations in all places where a massacre of foreigners has occurred, while the Metropolitan Examina- tions should be allowed to continue as usual without interruption.

Opposition to Peace.

A number of secret memoriala, says the Universal Gazette, have recently been pre- sented to, the Empress Dowager by Conser ivative officials in the Refugee Court. Some of the memorialists suggested that the peace negotiations, now going on at Peking, should ba discontinued; others proposed that the country should be divilled into two portions- north-western and a south-easter-to be de: fended separately; while some recommended that those high officials who had been degraded for their complicity with the Boxer troubles and whose heads were demanded by the Allied Powers should be raised to power once more. Finally soffie have advised that a large supply of arms and ammunition must be manufactured at once to prepare for a resumption of hostilit ies. These memorials, it is said, the Empress Dowager has already sent to the Viceroys and Governors of various different provinces for discussion.

The Importance of Reform.

The same paper says that Viceroys Liu K'un-yi and Chang Chih-tung have sent a joint memorial to the Throne, recommending that, in order to stop all sharp criticism on the con- duct of the Onvernment and to satisfy the ex: pectations of the people, the work of reform should be commenced at once.
