Otornc is a houe of mourning p.nd Cow?s is probably the quietest place in the .United Kingdom to-day. The Kins departed early. After him followed the army of officials end newspaper correspondents. The King's ceparturc v.a3 as unostentatious as that of nn American President. He and hü sulie. in civilian attire, left the castle without a military escort and with no sign of pomp. Queen Victoria's body was embalmed last evening and occupied the center of the dinin? room, which is hung with trappings of mourning'. Outside two officers are on guard. Within two Indian attendants remain, in company with the ladies in waiting, who are constantly present. -The lody h; attired in black. The face is perfectly j-Taceful and the remains have been placed with the arms folded. On the breast rests a beautiful gold cross. The head Is inclined slightly to the ripht. All about repose quantities of beautiful rlowers. The honor of first peeing the body of the Queen was conferred on her personal retinue, and such a simple, pathetic scene as marked this afternoon could hardly have occurred in any other monarchy. All the servants and tenants were admitted. The footmen, housemaids, coachmen, stable lads and policemen hied through the house for several hours. There were no formalities. Cent old men and women, and children who had gown up on, the estate and had regarded Cjueen Victoria as a friend and patron, rather than as a sovereign, took thtir turn, and their grief was the torrow of those who had lost a friend. In the meantime many residents of Cowes and neighboring towns and some prominent people applied at the porter's lodge for admission, but these were told to come tomorrow. There is no mistaking the reality of the orrow of Cowes. "Tho Queen was always good to u.V' they snld. öhe knew personally many of the -townspeople, and took nr. interest in their families, their troubles and their Joys. She could call many of them' by n?me and often stopped in her drives to talk to them. Almost every house has a half-masted Hag. and the store windows are draped with black and white. The route from Osborne House to Trinity pier this morning was deserted except for a few spots of bare-headed persons who, at 3:10 o'clock, saw three open carriages, drawn by white horses, galloped down the hill. In the first carriage were the King, the Duke of Connaught. the Duke of York and Prince Christian, who were en route to London. The Kins looked well and bowed repeatedly in acknowledgement of the greeting of his subjects. The royal personages Immediately embarked on the Alberta. The royal standard was hoisted as the King touched the deck. As the Alberta started off signals were shown ordering that no salutes should be fired. The crews of the cruiser Australia and the other royal yachts were mustered as the Alberta steamed by. The commencement of the' King's first voyage was a memorable and Impressive event. Nothing has boen decided at Osborne House regarding the funeral arrangements or the removal of the body and nothing Wid be until after the arrival of the King. The palace is painfully qult this evening. There have been no arrivals or departures since the King left. The family dinner party, like that of last evening, was brief. Herr Fuchs, the German sculptor, has rrrived to take a cast of the dead Queen's face. It is reported that Emperor "William vrill remain In the Isle of Wight until the removal of the body, even If this should be postponed for a fortnight. The Emperor and Trincess Louise (the Duchess of Argyll) walked to Whlppingham Church this afternoon. "WITH CREPE AXD FOG. London Dark and Gloomy, nn If the Atmosphere "Were Mourning LONDON, Jan. 23. London has donned a garb of mourning from end to end, and an early hour found a-thick fog enveloping the city like a pall, a. fitting accompaniment of the funeral apparel of everyone. Throughout the West End drawn blinds were the order of the day, while on all the embassies, government offices and public buildings the flags are half-masted. The law courts, the Stock Exchange and all the produce and metal exchanges throughout the country only assembled to close immediately after the presiding officers had addressed to the members a few words of tribute to the dead monarch. There were exceptionally large congregations in the churches in all parts of the country. At St. Paul's Cathedral the prayers for the royal family were altered to read: "For our sovereign lord, the King, and the Queen consort." All the services were ended by the playing of the dead march. All the rrrrlous naval and military stations fired a salute of eighty-one guns at midday to signalize the death of the Queen, one gun for each completed year of the Queen's age. The public buildings are all being draped with black, the stores are displaying many signs of mourning and business Is practically at a standstill. January has been a fateful month In the life of the English royal family; It is a singular coincidence that Queen Victoria passed away on the thlrty-flrst anniversary of the death of her father, tho Duke of Kent, which event occurred Just six days before the death of his father.

In rs20. It was on Jan. 10. 1S56. that Prince Iltnry, of Battenberg, passed away and It was also in January that the Duke of Clarence, the direct heir to the throne in the second generation, came to his untimely end. The King, who remains in London over night, was driven to Buckingham Palace after taking the oath before the privy council, and dined there with the Duchess of Albany. Subsequently he wen( to Marlborough House to sleep. It Is understood he will return to Osborne to-morrow morning to direct the funeral arrangements. These were discussed at a meeting of thp authorities of the royal household at Buckingham Palace this evening. At the college of arms it was said that the date of the funeral could hot be settled until it was known when the European royalties or their representatives could arrive, but that the function would be held at the earliest possible date for the convenience of Emperor William, whoso s,tay in England must be unavoidably limited. Buckingham Palace is being made ready for the royal persons who are arriving In London. Representatives of all the royal families in Europe will probably be present at the funeral, Including the Kings of Italy, Belgium. Grtece. the Crown Prince of Germany, the Crown Prince of Sweden and Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria. All the European courts will go into mourning for various periods. Memorial services will be held In St. Paul's Cathedral morning and evening dally until the Interment. At the first of these, held after the regular evening service to-day, some 5,000 persons were present. Bishop Barry read the burial service and the "Dead March In Saul" and the funeral music was rendered. The morning papers publish a long tribute from the poet laureate, Mr. Alfred Austin, to the dead Queen. Among the Innumerable telegrams of sympathy that continue pouring In from abroad President McKInley's gives the greatest pleasure. The Dally Chronicle remarks: "It is believed that President McKInley's dispatch was the first to reach the Prince of Wales under his new title, and. Just as Frederick the Grtat was the first European sovereign to recognize the Independence of the United States, so now the President of the great Republic has been the first to recognize the kingship of the great-grandson of the monarch against whose authority the American colonists successfully rebelled. This is very touching when one remembers the visit Of the Prince of Wales to Washington's tomb. Probably it was some remembrance of that incident which made President McKinley hasten to be the first to salute the Prince of Wales as King, and the compliment, we are told, was most keenly appreciated." The Standard says: "It Is not for mere show that the Americans have received the news of the death of Queen Victoria as a bereavement of their own and commented upon it in such terms as they would employ inthe case of an honored President dying In office." The Roynl Mnusolenni. LONDON, Jan. 23. In the grounds of Frogmore, not far from Windsor Castle, on the left hand side of the long walk, is the magnificent mausoleum containing all that is mortal of the Prince consort. This building, cruciform In shape and Romanesque" In style, cost $1,000,000, the amount having been provided by her Majesty herself. It was consecrated In 1SC2, a year after the prince's death. He was at first laid to rest In St. George's Chapel. Windsor. In the ornate, octagonal chamber of the Frogmore mausoleum, thirty feet in diameter and sixty-five feet high, is a double sarcophagus of dark gray granite, resting on polished black marble. It bears a recumbent statue of Prince Albert, executed in white marble by Marechetti, and at each corner is the bronze figure of a kneeling angel. The Queen will be burled here, beside the dust of her "great and good husband," whose loss she never ceased to mourn. t SORROW EVERYWHERE.

All the Civilised "World Monrnlner for the Departed Queen. From every land come dispatches telling of sorrow for the death of Queen Victoria. All the courts of Europe are In mourning. Newspapers everywhere print eulogistic obituaries. Parliaments, municipalities and societies have adopted resolutions of sympathy. Throughout the British colonies the evidences of grief are especially noticeable. Flags are at half-mast in all the cities of the English-speaking world and In continental Europe. The King of Portugal and other royal persons will attend the Queen's funeral. Some of the Russian, Dutch and German papers deplore her Majesty's death, because King Edward is a friend of Joseph Chamberlain and the latter's aggressive policies. They regard this fact as boding ill for the future peace of the World. The Pope was kept constantly Informed of the condition of the Queen and received the news of her peath through Cardinal Rampolla. Ills Eminence said not a word, but dropped on his- knees to pray, remaining in this attitude for a considerable time. Afterward he gave orders that in all churches prayers for the Queen be offered up to-day. The Pope will be represented at the funeral by Cardinal Vaughn. At a meeting of the corporation of Dublin to-day, the lord mayor moved a vote of condolence with the royal family. Mr. M. T. Harrington, M. P., Introduced an amendment, but the condolence resolution was finally passed by 30 to 23 votes. Emperor William s message announcing Queen Victoria's death to hi3 mother was addressed to his sister. Princess Victoria, ot Schaumburg-Lippe, who broke the news to the Empress Frederick. The latter was deeply moved. The Empress had an uneventful day. Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria-Hungary sent the following telegram to King Edward VII: "The death of your mother has deeply affected me, and I have to express to you on the occasion of this lrteparable loss my heartfelt condolences. The deceased sovereign was for many years a loyal and gracious friend to me, and these mutual feelings of friendly sympathy have ever formed the basis also of our political relations." I cherish the hope that there will be no change in those relations through the death of your never-to-be-forgotten mother, and that we two, holding fast tr tradition, shall procure for our peoples the blessings of mutuar excellent relations." Lord Panneefote In Seelnston. WASHINGTON. Jan. 23. The British embassy is enshrouded In gloom to-day and the heavy hangings of black within and without the stately old mansion gave tribute to the memory of the, departed Queen. The British flag hang3 at half mst above the porte cochere, fronting the building. Around the royal arms, which top the portico, hang heavy masses of black and from the large columns are draped long bands of crape. All the curtains of the embassy are drawn and the entire place presents an aspect of silence and mourning. Lord Pauncefote remains in retirement with his family, only occasionally seeing some distinguished caller, who comes tp pay a tribute of respect and condolence. YVIlhel iu's Rescript. BERLIN. Jan. 23.-The Oillcial Gazette contains the following imperial rescript: "Osborne, Jan. 3. The death of my beloved, highly honored and never to be forgotten grandmother, Victoria, has plunged me and my house into deepest mourning. I know my army sincerely shares In the grievous loss I have sustained, and 'I hereby decree that all officers of my army shall wear mourning for fourteen dr.ys. The First Dragoon Guard Regiment oT the Queen's shall go Into mourning for three weeks. Flags on all military and, public buildings shall be half-masted. "WILHELM. R. I." DID XOT LOWER FLAG. Mayor Vnn WycW Declined to Honor the Queen Memory. NEW YORK. Jan. 20. While many flags throughout the city were lowered to hilfmast out of respect of Quen Victoria' memory, that on the City Hall was not. When asked why no official notice had been taken of her death. Mayor Van Wyck Is reported to have. replied: "I know that the flas; has not been lowered. This city takes r.c notice of the death of foreign monarchy. " Corporation Counsel Whalen said that he knew of no ordinance prohibiting the mayor from showing orficial respect to foreign rations upon the de.ith of their iu!crs. Later In the day Mayor Van Wyck said; The Hag on the City Hall was not orderet tvt hrlr-tnast because tnere Is no precedent to'c it On the contrary, the precedent In

this and former administrations has been against lowering It on the death of any ff reign potentate. I found that the Hag was not lowered when President Carnot was assassinated, nor when the Empress of Austria was assassinated; neither was it placed at half-mast on the death of the Emperor of Russia, nor when King Humbert was murdered. You must remember that many people come here and want the flag of the City Hall to be lowered for certain reasons. When Joubert died I had hundred.-? of letters requesting me to take notice of it by placing the flag at halfnast. Almost all my personal friends in the city asked this as a favor. Yet I did i:ot accede to the request. My personal Inclinations were strongly In that direction, for I believe at that thne the British were murdering a brave people to rob them of their freedom and their country."

Lewis. of New York, has been delivering a series of admirable lectures in that city upon the subject of life Insurance. Ills last address covered the theme of "The Relation of Life Insurance to Society and Government," and In the course of his remarks Mr. Lewis said: "Speculation In life Insurance usually takes the form of the insurance of diseased lives, graveyard substitutions, impersonations and the like frauds. A conspicuous case was that of Fox against the Penn Mutual Lifo Insurance Company, which was tried in Philadelphia. Fox brought a friend to be insured for $25,000 and the medical examiner pronounced the man to be In perfect health. In a fortnight the company ascertained that the person upon whom the policy was issued was a habitual drunkard. The premium was given back to Fox and the surrender of the policy asked. This Fox refused, and when the Insured died Fox sued the company for the amount of Insurance. The jury, as is usual in many cases, decided for Fox, bui as criminal proceedings were immediately Instituted and he was obliged to withdraw from Philadelphia, it is needless to say the policy was never paid. These facts are significant of flie violation of the principle that the event must be independent of the will of tho insured. "An attempt to obtain insurance for an event under the control of the insurer deviates from the sound principles of the business. One point of practical interest with regard to the above principle relates to death by suicide. Here the object of Insurance is defeated by the attempt to turn chance to certainty. The only safeguard from this event is to exact absolute prcof of death by natural agencies. The general public mind has been so poisoned with regard to this principle that until the last three years the general mode has been in favor of removing from policies all restrictions in case ot suicide. An Influence In changing this idea was a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in with regard to the Runk case in Philadelphia. Before that ono company after another Joined in the race to throw off all restrictions. In fact, a premium was offered as a reward for committing the crime. The Legislature of Missouri passed a law, which is unique, to this effect: That no insurance company shall be permitted to refuse to pay a claim In case of suicide unless It be proven that suicide was contemplated when the insurance was taken. A parallel case would be that of a company formed to bribe men to commit crime. It would be no greater offense against society and Christianity to offer a premium for murder, rape or robbery, and the company is a party to the crime if the crime results. It Is a notorious fact, well known t actuaries, that when a company took this business the number of suicides increased in that company. The conclusion cannot be resisted that the company is the direct occasion and partner of the crime. There Is an occasion for the supervision of private contracts by law here, when the company rewards Immortality and crime." Mr. Lewis then spoke of the false popular Idea about the value of the franchises of insurance companies and the injustice of taxing an industry which Is a medium for the distribution of losses. The State supervision of Insurance places a restraint v.r.on the enterprise of companies such as is put upon no other business, a restraint particularly vexatious because exercised by ignorant officials. Mr. Lewis suggested a remedy by Investing the courts with power to regulate insurance. CALLED TO CHICAGO. Itev. J. A. Mllburn Invited to Fill n Congregational Palplt. Rev. Joseph A.
