however, aud early this morning she arose ana asked for the messages that bad been received while she slept The messages pent early in the morning were unfavorable, and they, in a measure, prepared her Majesty for the blow in store for ber. Though she knew she was hoping against hope, the announcement of the Duke's death, which came iu a message signed eirupiy "Bertie," .was a great shock to her. I'rince Albert Victor was and always hod been her favorite grandson, and his untimely death was a most severe blow to ber. She immediately telegraphed a long message to the i'rince and Trincess of Wales. She did not forget, in ber own sorrow, the sorrow that hsd Vome to Princess May, whose love-dresm bad been rudely shattered by the hand of death. To her the Cjueen sent a message, condoling with ber in her sorrow and dintreat, and in loving words expressing her sympathy. She at once ordered the i)nko of Connaught to proceed to tiandringham to represent her there, she also ordered that the court go into full mourning for threo months, and canceled all the "drawin it-rooms' and st ato levees. Her Majesty announced that the funeral of the Duke wouid be a state fnnction. and that it would be held in 8t George's Chapel. Windsor 1'alace. It was in this chapel that the marriage of the Duke and Princess Victoria Mary was to have taken place on Feb. 127. next. The Duke of Connaoght and Strathearn, ancle of I'rince Albert Victor, and personal aid-de-camp to the Oueen, arrived at 1'ortsraonth at noon from Osborne. tl traveled in the royal yacht Albert and Victoria, which entered Portsmouth harbor with the ensign at half-mast. As the royal yacht got abeam of the Hag-ship Victory the latter' ensign was lowered to halmast, and this movement was followed by all the other ships in the harbor. The Duko of Connaught immediately landed and took a special train and proceeded to Sandringham, SORROW IN LONDON. The news canted widespread grief in London, and already demonstrationsof the public feeling nro everywhere apparent. On all the publie buildings flags are displayed at half-mast, and throughout the whole of London the sad intelligence was received with expressions of tho deepest sorrow. Hundreds of persons, well known in the upper circles of London society, members of the aristocracy and others, gathered in little groups and gravely discussed the death of the Prince ana its efiectupon the succession In all its bearings. Serious laces could be teen all along Pall Mall and there is no doubt thkt the calamity is much taken to heart by the English nobility. For some reason no bulletin posted at Marlborough House, the London residence of the I'rince ot Wales, until after 11 o'clock. As the numerous carriages arrived their occupants would descend and go to the porter's lodge to inquire as to the latest nowa from Ssnurlngham Hall. Here they were informed of the death of the Duke, and many of the lady visitors were seen returning to their carriages with handkt rchiefa to their eyes. As the day progressed the crowd in the vicinity of Marlborough House increased. Pall Mall was at times completely blockaded with carriages conveying the most noted people of the kingdom. Lord Salisbury, the Prime Minister, and Lady Salisbury, and nearly the entire diplomatic corps were among the callers. Hundreds cf persons inscribed their names on. the visitors' book. The signatures were those ot persons in all conditions of life. To show the variety of the employment of those who have by this means sought to show sympathy and reepect. it may be mentioned that the name of the world-renowned divine. Canon Farrar. follows the name of a prominent actor, and his name, in turn, is followed by the name of another man well known to the theatrical world. This afternoon condolences began pouring in and already such messages have been received from most of the rulers of the world. Many messages have also been received at Osborne House. The government Is also receiving official messages from prime ministers of many countries. One was received from President Harrison. All the newspapers, of every shade of opinion. Express in their leaders deep regret and the most profound sympathy with tho Prince and Princess of Wales and Princess May. - . WORRIED CONCERNING ETIQUETTE. No precedent exists as to the rules of etiquette to be observed on occasions arising out of the death of a son of the heir-appar-tnt The diplomates accredited to the court of St. James are therefore untertain whether they should olTer condolence personally to the Queen or to the Prince and Princess of Wales only, but bave decided upon the latter course. The same uncertainty reigns in tho chamberlain's otlico with regard to the coming funeral ceremonies. Lying side by side in this office are huge folios of instructions with legard to the deceased Prince's marriage and piles of reference books treating of funeral etiquette. Nevertheless, a precedent is wanting. As far as the Prince and Princess of "Wales are concerned, all pnplic engagements for the coming six months may be considered canceled. They will make no publio appearanco during that poriod. Prince George will go to the continent, and it is not likely that the Queen will postpone her departure on her projected continental journey because of her grandson's death There is so much to be done In the way of preparation that the funeral can hardly take place before the end of next week. Publio sentiment is inclined to the plan for Jying in state of tho Prince's body, but the Prince and Princess tf Wales are said to oppose It. In any case the funeral will be of a military character, with a procession through London en route to Windsor, enabling a public expression of grief. The Queen is reported to be suffering acutely because of ber remembrance that lor tho past five years she opposed the plau for tho union of the deceased Prince aud Princess Mary of Teck. only giving her consent a couple of months ngo. Tho Queen has directed tho publication of the following: "Her Majesty received early this morning with the deepest griefHows of a calamity that has bexallen the royal family and tho whole nation in the fatal termination of the Duko of Clarence and Avondale's short illness. The Queen was devotedly attached to her beloved grandson, who always evinced the greatest nttection toward her Majesty, and whoso charming disposition aud high character had endeared him to her since his childhood." Her Majesty, on receiving yesterday the news ot the Duke's critical illness, vras anxious to proceed atonco toSandringhum. but was dissuaded by medical advice. Controller Fecobyu has telegraphed the reporters at Sandringham. asking them to pfrect the deep sorrow of the Prince of Yttlea and family, now plunged into a terrible allhctiou. ' Arrangements are being made to hold funeral her vices In all Lnglish churches. Tho Prince of Wales, on leaving Saudringham Hall in the afternoon, accompanied by Admiral Stephenson, for a short walk, i assed through the main entrance to the nous leading to a wicket Bate. By this means he obtained access to the highway without being seen by the large crowd outside the main gates. A correspondent met him walking slowly along tho road towards the lodge. His grave, distressed looks showed deep absorption in bis own sad thoughts, which, however, did 3t hinder him from a prompt recognition aad acknowledgement of the respectful salutations which he received lrom the persons whom he met during his walk, 'lha Duke and Ducheas of Teck and Princess Mav remain at Sandringham. The Princo of Wales wanted the burial to bo at Sandringham. but the Queen decided on Windsor. Mr. Gladstone, who was expected to stay in the sonth of France for some time to come, is expected back in England iu time to attend the funeral of the Duke. All the Cabinet ministers and Liberal leaders who Lad engagements to appear In public have canceled their dates. Lven the Salvationists, at Eastbourne, and the Socialists, at Chelsea, are expected to cancel their engagements to take part in the usual Minday uay-otf demonstrations on next Sunday. At Belfast the looms which are weaving the liuen for the household of the dead pnnce bave been stopped, and at SpitalXields, where the catin for the wedding dress of Princess Mary was in hand, the looms also stand still by the orderof death. It is reported that the Princess May of Teck is ill from the ordeal which she baa passed through in the death of ber betrothed. BItKTCII OF TTIK DEAD ritI?fCE.
Wot Brilliant or Popular, bat a Quiet, PainsTaking YonBf Alan. Prince Alhert Victor Christian Edward was born Jan, 8, 1664, and was therefore
twenty-seven years old. no was the eldest aon of the Prince of Wales and consequent ly in the direct line of succession to the throne. He was educated at Trinity Colledse. Cambridge, and the University of Heidelberg. Previous to his entering as an undergraduate, however, he passed two years as a naval cadet on board the liritan nia. and in 1873 started with his brother. Prince George of Wales, on a trip around the world in the Uacchantc. He returned to England in li On leaving the university. Prince Albert proceeded to Aldershot to prepare for the army. In 1SS3 ho was invested with the Orderof the Garter. He was created an honorary LL.

On Dec. 15, lS'JO. he was installed at Heading as right worshipfnl provincial grand master of the province of Berkshire. His military rank at the time of his death was that of major, ho holdinga commission in tho Tenth Hussars, of which regiment his father is colonel. While not a brilliant person. Prince Albert Victor was a painstaking, methodical and orderly young man, rather quiet and undemonstrative, and not nearly so popular with the masses as is his brother. In personal appearance he was tall and Bpare in figure. His neck, like that of most of

rrlncesi Victoria llary of Tech. his mother's family, was rather long, a defeet which he tried to conceal by wearing collars of a perilous height, whence the pleasantry of his popular nickname, "Collar and Culls." Although a very good and bold rider, he failed to display much taste for any other kind of sport. He was an exceedingly well-behaved young man, and no scandal had ever attached to his name. On Dec. 5 last the Court Journal contained the otlicial announcement that the marriage of his Itoyal Highness Prince Albert Victor to ber berene Highness Princess Victoria Mary of Teck. tho betrothal of the royal lovers having been previously announced, would take place on Saturday. Feb. 27, at St. Georse's Chapel, Wiudsor Castle. In this connection it may be men-, tioned that the Prince wan the great-great-grandson of George HI, while his fiancee. Princess Mar? of Teck. is his second cousin, once removed, and is great-granddaughter of George HI. being, therefore, in the generation ahead of him. She is the daughter of Princess Mary of Cambridge, younger sisterof tbo Duke of Cambridge, and Francis. Prince and Duke of Teck. the only son of Duke Alexander of Wurtemberg. by his morganatic marriage with Countess Claudine Kbedey. The Princess Victoria Mary Aususta Louise Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes was born in Kensington Palace, May L6, 18G7. With her parents she has always lived in one of Queen Victoria's palace, for ber family is poor, and, like the Dattenbergs, not royal. Princess Victoria's title is "her Serene Highness" simply. She is a lady of the Imperial Order of the Crown of India, one of Queen Victoria's new orders for women. THE SUCCESSION. Prince George, the Duke's Brother, Next In Line His Early Marriage Urred. London, Jan. 14. By the death of the Duke of Clarence and Avondale. the next person to the Prince of Wales in the lino of direct succession Is Prince George Frederick Ernest Albert of Wales, brother of the Duko. He was born June 3, 1S05. lie soon displayed' predilection for naval affairs, and, after serving in minor capacities, was appointed in March, 1800, to the command of the now gun-boat Thrush, and while on this vessel he was attached to tho British North American squadron. In August, 1801, be was promoted to the rank of commander of her Maje 'y'a fleet, It is generally agreed that baste will now be made in bringing about the marriage of Prince George, Brother of the Dead Duke. Prince George, to remove the possibility of the Fife succession. The possibility 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. It is hinted very broadly that a marriage between Prince George and Princess Victoria Mary of Teck will be arranged. The weekly paper. Modern Society, however, to-day assorts that a marriage has already been arranged between Prince George nnd a daughter of Prince and Princess Christian. Princess Christian is the third daughter of the Quceu and married Prince Christian of Schlcswig-Holstein-SonderbiiTg- Augustenburg, on Jnly 5, 1800. There are four children of this marriage, two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter. Princess Victoria Louise, was born May 3, lb?0, and the younger. Princess Prance, was born Aug. 14. lb;2. It mar here be stated that Prince George is more popular among all classes of the British society th au was his brother. Tho St. James Gazette this afternoon, in an article which is believed to reflect the general feeling, says: "It would be sycophancy to say that the hapless Princo was regarded with cnthnsiastic devotion or in tenae personal regard by a majority of those over whom ho might have ruled. We have the best reason to believe that iu the death of the Dnfce of Clarence and Avondale we have lost a promising young prince, whose untimely taking ott would claim our meed of sorrow, even withont tho exceptional circumstances of the occasion. But it is the circumstance of the approaching marriage wherein a special pathos lies. The death of the Duke can hardly make a serious tlitlerence in the politicalordynastio situation. Prince Geortreof Walts steps into the place of heir. If the tragic event has any lesson, it is that it is a duty that princes owe totheir subjects, from their position, to take due aud seasonable measures to make the succession secure." President IlarrUou's Condolences. Washington, Jan. 14. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minister, addressed anototo Secretary Blaine, in which he said: Mt is my sorrowful duty to announce to you the lamentable intelligence which I have just received from the Marquis of Salisbury of the death, this morning, at Sandringham, of his Itoyal Highness, the Duke of Clarence and Avondale." In reply to this note. Secretary Blaine said: 4,1 have conveyed to the President the melancholy information you communicate in your note of this date, of the death of his Royal Highness, the Duke of Clarence and A vend ale, and I am directed y tho President to -exprtu tho terra tf vith

After tho step was decided on, however, it became a weighty problem to establish tbo basis of division in a complicated business like that of a newspaper, embracing so many departments having a widely-diverging influence on the general success. Through tho American Newspaper Publishers' Association, of which the Bee is a member, and which embraces, almost without exception, the larger papers of the United States, an inquiry was made to ascertain if any newspaper had ever had such a system in praotlce, or could fnrnish any equitable basis for one. The returns showed that not one had considered such a system. Again in 1800 a similar inquiry was put on foot, and with equally unsatisfactory results. The proprietors of the Bee then were forced to invent a system that might, in their judgment, meet the necessities of the situation, and, after much consideration and deliberation, the following plan was outliucd: A certain percentage of the year's profits was to be set aside for distribution amoDg tho permanent employes, to be distributed as nearly as could be in proportion to the value of the emDloye'a services and his efforts in increasing the business of the paper. The measure of a man's servico was based on the salary which hCreceived, and he was to receivo one, two, three or moro shares of the profits according to the responsibility of his position and its influence in increasing the revenue of the paper. Special provision was made for those in subordinate positions who. through unusual efforts, added to the general profits of the year. This system, when perfected as nearly as could be. was adopted as offering premium for concerted as well as individual effort, and was to have been put in etl'ect on the 1st of January, lbOl. Before that date, however, occurred an untortonate misunderstanding between the Bee and a few of its employes, culminating in the strike and boycott. The managers of the Bee had their time fully occupied by this contest, but as soon as the diniculty was adjusted, in April, of this year, tbe plan was submitted to the permanent employes of the paper and was inaugurated. 1 For the purpose of considering and deciding mattersof general interest connected with the business of the paper an advUory committee was formed, consisting of tho two managers of the paper and representatives from each department, based on the Iiroportion of about one to seven, and eeected by vote. The committee includes, in addition to the editorial and the business manager of the Be, tbe following: Ben. II. Preston, Frank Radclifle. J. B. Harris. E. I. Woodman, W. H. Ambrose, J. J. Gee. Bart. Kieruan. In multitude of counsel there is wisdom, and itisfoitndthatthis committee, representing so many diff erent departments, can very thoroughly sift a subject affecting tbe general good. Tho plan has only been operative for a little over sir months, and it is. therefore, premature to speak of its results. After a year's trial, if found satisfactory, it will be continued permanently or modified in accordance with the experience of the year. Both the proprietors of tbe paper and the employes feel confident that it will be successful, and that a similar plan, pursued in any large business employing a number of intelligent men, would bo productive of much good. Seised a Tray of Diamond Ring. Pittsbttjio, Jan. 14. W. J. Ssrver's Jewelry store, 46 Federal street, Allegheney, was the scene of a bold robbery early this eveniag. A man, aa yet unknown, walked rapidly np to the Jeweler's window, broko the glass with a railroad couphng-pin. and seized a tray of valuable diamond rings. The sight watchmaa of the building bearing the crash started in pursuit of the rebber, but the latter made good his escape, Tht lines itolea treo valued at 81,5001

MEXICAN OUTLAWS KILLED Three Shot by State Rangers While Robbins a Silver Mine at Shafter, Tex, Body cf Revolutionists Cap tared at Ascension Garza's Followers Said to Be Starring Seeking Kecrnitsin New Mexico. Marfa, Tex.. Jan. 14. Last eight an attempt ras mada by an armed body of 'MexioaDs to rob tbe Cibilo silTer mines at Shatter, tbis county. The robbers, -who were surprised by a detachment of the Texas Hangers, re sisted stubbornly, and were only put to flight after three of their number had been killed. Both parties irere well armed with Winchesters, and the battle was a warm one. No rangers were butt. Tbe 6urvmng outlaws flea in the darkness toward the K10 Grande, pursued ineffectually by tbo State troops. One of the dead oatlawa is Antonio Carasco, whose brother, a year ago, shot a ranger in the back, the affair causing a small riot, which was only suppressed by tbe aid of the federal troops. Jn this vicinity the Mexicans outnumber tho Americans two to one, and serious trouble is feared as a result of tho last night killings. Uarza's Followers Starving. City of Mexico, Jan. 14. An agent of tbe Minister of Fomentt has Just returned from tbe frontier, where be claims to bave made a thorough investigation of tbe revolutionary movement. He reports that Garza is in hiding, and his followers starving; that desertions are numerous, and that many of the would-be rebels are ignorant of the causes for the rising. He states also that he did not discover tbe existenoe of anv grievance against President Diaz. He believes that the disatlected people have been unjustly incited against tbe State government, nnd asserts that tbe leaders are confessedly tired of tbe inovsmeut, are without funds, and open to an oiler of amnesty from the government. In otlicial circles in this city the rumor that Iturbide is tho real head of the revolution is regarded as absurd. It is said. too. that the clergy desire to be at peace with President Diaz, who, while strict with them, is. it is claimed, more lonient toward them than would be any buo else. The government odboronts say that if the United States would only force the freebooters to operate on the Mexican side of the frontier the trouble would quickly end. Recruiting at Albnqnsrque. Albuquerque, N. M., Jan. 14. It s reported that Garza and his follower, numbering about two hundred men, fully equipped with arms, expect to cross tbe southern border of this Territory to-night. The Governor has been called upon to order out tho militia, but up to this hour (10 r. m.) no action has been taken. Tbe peoule of -the State of Chihuahua are iu sympathy with Garza, aud a leader is all that is needed to induco them to join his forces. This report has not been continued, but it is believed to be reliable. It is understood, that there are two or more agents of Garza in this city making efforts to recruit the ranks of tbe guerrilla chief. Considerable excitement exists among those who are interested, and a number of secret juntas are said to have been held in both the new aud old towns of Albuquerque. One of tho agents is a prominent American, lie has had several conferences with popular Mexicans with more or less success. It is stated a number of the natives are ready to join the ranks of Garza, and the only thiug that prevents them from placing their names to the roll is the money consideration. One IleTIt Suppressed. Deming, N. M., Jan. 14. A courier from Ascension, Mexico, arrivedSto-day. He reports the suppression of the revolt there and tho resumption of the sway of civil law. Tuesday tbe stone mill occupied by the rebels was surrounded by troops under Colonel Sanqulnez. and after a feeble resistance the beleaguered force surrendered and were placed under arrest. The total number of captives is 1C7, but the leader, Kemiji Sais, escaped to the mountains. Sais deserted his band at the critical moment, leaving them to their fate. The captives will be tried at once; and the principal ones will undoubtedly be shot, liusiness has been rssumsd, and, though there is much sympathy with the rebels, no further trouble is expected. More troops. however. are on tho way here, and the town will soon bave a garrison of four hundred men. Ancheta, the murdered president of the town who&e election precipitated tbe revolt, is believed to have acted under the orders of tbe government, urbo feared to allow the church party candidate to secure the office to which the balloting, it is believed, elected Lim.

Grip Contagion Conreyed by th Habit of Indiscriminate S pitting. Philadelphia Itecord. The nnnonnceii discorcrr of tbo inflnenr bacillna, if it shall b verified en furtbc investigation, Trill giro intelligent direr tion both in tbe matter of prevention and cure. Dr. Pfeifler. who announces tho. identification of the cacneof crip, sar he "believes that the eputnm of persons suffering; from influenza is the rued mm of rontacioQ in that disease." Jf this be a fact, the path lies open to an effort for lim itatlon npon tho part of tho vrfcole community. Persons affected with tbe disease should spit into vessels containing a disinfecting preparation. All bed-clotnea, clothes or rags used about a sufferer, liable to infection, should be burned, or. vrhen cleansed, soaked in a germ-destroying liuid. The germs may be conveyed from one person to another by means of a drinking cud, spoon or other utensil of common use, cr even a kiss may carry contagcon hid under tbe wing of love. It is a well-established fact that the disgusting habit of indiscriminate spitting is a fruitful source of unintended mischiefs. The seeds of consumption as well as of fnp are sown broadcast by thia means, he streets, coaches, cars, placet of publio assemblage, and private apartments even, are made foul, filthy and infectious by inveterate spitters. home of them wear good clothes and pretend to be gentlemen. It may be admitted there has been a gradual improvement ever since Pickens wioto his "American Notes." and held tie ap to ridicule ai the champion expectorators; but there is room for much more. Ve ehoald, in this respect, at least, carry our parlor behavior with us wherever wc go. That tbu may he easily done in proven by theexampleof women. whoeldom ornever ottend in tbi particular. If tbe visitation of grip should have the efiecl of Hearing the general publio into & reformatio:: of the spitting habit, it might be the means of ultimately saving more lives than it has destroyed.
