The slightest hu provetiieiit, so friKiueiitly mentioned in the olllcial bulletins, merely indicates a postponement of the inevitable. The end may la- n mutter of days or only of hours: but the members of the rmnl family, who are now drugging out a weury visit nt Osborne House, know that the death of her majesty is merely n question of a short time. Tin' most iiotieeiible feature of yester day was the satisfactory portion the uiu-eii spent in consciousness, which she reuniiicd curly ill the afternnuii, ami still retained nt ID p. in. At that hour she hud not seen Emperor Willium, local ru mors to the cum miry notwithstanding, ltuyiilly nt Osborne thus hud n chillier to recupcrute from the terrible ordeiil undergone during the early hours of Monday. The correspondent of The Assis-iuted Press is informed that the members of the royal family were culled to a room adjoining the iiiecu's hcilcliiiiuhcr no less tliuii four times yestenlny morning and were kept in momentary expectation of being summoned to wltni-s the end up to half -past five. Her inujesty's physi sinus then had only a vestige of hope Hint they would Is- able to keep the ipiccu's feeble life in existence until the Prince of Wulcs arrived. To secure this result they resorted to the frispieut use of briindy and cliutn pni!iie. These stimulants, used to nil ex tent which only the greatest emergency justified, worked their prisess mid, when the Prince of Wales and Emperor Will lam entered the castle grounds at lli.'tO a. in. they found the ipiccn a trifle better than hud lieeti expivtcd.

Such expedients us were ruiplored during Sunday evening and M:r ')' morning are not considered jus tihiil.lc.

The dispatches from Osborne are eagerly followed here. The evening newspapers publish frequent edi tions which are quickly sold. The nrti rlcs in the papers are sympathizing though they give evidence of the anti ltritish feeling urousisl by the South Af rican war. Many of the writers nscnlic Quceu Victoria's collapse to the cloud of melancholy enthrottdiui: her on account of the situation In South Africa, aud tho unerasing death roll.

In her innturity she was the ideul constitu tional sovereign.

Delist llntwetm Philippine Coinitiltiloa era o That Clauee of School Aet. MANILA. Jan. 22. The aot establish ing the department of public instruction wns passed unanimously yesterday by the Philippine commission after a de bate between Commissioner Moses and Judge Tuft, president of the "commis sion, over the section permitting religious Instruction in sehoolhoiiscs. The commissioners originally were unanimously in favor of the section, but Commissioner Moves became convinced it was not wise and offered an amend mi nt prohihiting the teaching of religions doctrines iu school buildings. He de clared the commission would disreg-ird iti. instructions concerning the separation of church and state if the "questii'iiiiMc provision" should be enacted. The com UUssiouer clinrttctcrizcd as groundless the fenrs that Cutliolic children would not attend the public schools unless religious instruction should be permitted. He said the experience with the Philippine schools had nlrcndy demonstrated this. Referring to arguments of the Central Cutholicn iu favor of Catholic instruc tion exclusively, Commissioner Moses in sisted that a compromise was inadvisa ble when one of the parties was predis posed against n compromise. Judge Tuft offered a substitute permit ting teaching thrice weekly by priests niul ministers to pupils whose parents desired such instruction, and prescribing the dismissal of teachers who should at tempt to intl'ietice pupils religiously, ami the suspension of the privilege of priests and sisters whose teachings should cre ate disloyalty or disorder. Concerning tliejilleged disobedience of the iiilministrutiou's instructions Judge Tuft said the question would be whether such use of school buildings would In volve a tax on the people. He cited the fact that the si I I buildings in use were used for political nud religious purpose notwithstanding the opposing attit i lu of the Federal party leaders. The judge did not believe the hierarchy of the church would approve of the rndicnl propositions of the Central Catholics. If experience should prove the wisdom of repealing the section it nt least would be after the government should have shown that it wns neither pro-Prntcstatit nor pro-Catholic. Commissioner Lie voted with Commis sioner Moses nirniust Judge Tuft on the substitute, explaining that he questioned whether the substitute would accomplish the purpose sought. After the adoption of the substitute the bill was passed unaniuiously. VENEZUELAN DISPUTE. Authorities Taking a llol.l Hla.nl lu Selnloi; Slemino a.

WEST POINT, Jan. 21.-The emigre Washington, after huviiiK concluded the mission of investigation at the I'liitisl States military academy. Before theil departure, however, through a voluiitnrj agreement of the cadets, hazing wut abolished. This voluntary agreement wai the result of a meeting of the rutirt corps of cadets held in Grunt hull Sat urday night. This action came as a surprise to the committee, which consisted of fienera! liick of Ohio, Judge Smith of Iowa Congressman Wuugcr of Pennsylvania and Messrs. Clayton and Driggs ol Itrooklyu. All members were pleased tc learn that the cadets had seen fit to au ticipute the action of congress iu wipins out practices of "calling out" and hnz fug of fourth cluss men from the tradi tions of the institution. It wns nearly midnight when Colonel A. L. Mills, the superintendent of the academy, hamled n ropy of the cadets' resolution to (ieiierul Dick. When the other congressmen learned the nuture of it Mr. Origus moved that Colonel Mills should nud it and afterwards it should be added to the record. Cadets Itettison. Miihnffcy, (irny and Atkins, who signed tile document on lie hull" of their respective clnssses, were culled before the committee. The court room was filled with army otlleers and their wives and ilnughtcrs, and none ol them had any idea of wlint wns coming. (ieneiul liick, addressing Colonel Mills and the four endcts, said: "This action taken by the corps now at the national military nciulcui.v will be received by the country with signs of appreciation and approbation. What you did here tisln.T will murk nn epoch in the history of West Point, and perhaps in the history of all educational institutions iu this coun try, for when hazing no longer finds a place nt West Point it will certainly not find lodgment in other educational In stitutions. "A hundred yenrs of history has brought this institution perhaps more closely than nny other to the hearts of the American people. What you have done for it today will leave it still higher in the good opinion that all true Ameri cans have for it. We know and appre ciate that men who come here sacrifice everything else in n desire to serve their country. This duty ami this sacriticr does not go uunppri-cintcd among your fellow cntnitrvnien. 1 s with a design to add still greater luster and fame to West Point tlnit congress has endeavored by a careful investigntion to find means for the eradication of anything which might seem to be out of harmony with its high purpose. "Your voluntary action will be made periunuent. Congress will make perma nent what you have done, but iu niitici puting the action of congress you have added to the crrat reputations already achieved here. In dismissing you I hope you will curry to your classes the con gratulations of this committee, its well wishes for their future success and its thanks. "And, Colonel Mills, ill leaving, I ex press the opinion of every member of this committee when I return to you, for many courtesies, our sincere thanks and desire, further, to attest that in our ef forts here we have had the full and hearty co-operation of yourself and youi associates. "llecollections of our work here will have its ' pleasant memories. We say to all of you not gondby. but farewell, and wish for you and tiie academy a long, Itnppy and successful career." It is said on good authority that the committee w ill recommend that the num ber of tactical officers at the West Point academy be increased. It is also reported that they will say that the deaths of former Cndcfs Poo and ltrctlt were net caused by the hazing they received at West Point. In the rnsc of ltooz the testimony showed that he was not very strong nt any time and that it is said the members of the committee be lieve his health hud been injured by his treatment ut the hands of his fellow ca dets in the ncudeiny. At the same time it is claimed that the committee has failed to discover any connection be tween the swallowing of the tabasco sauce and the subsequent death of Bool from tuberculosis.
