Up to midnight on Tursday the Prince was either delirious or wholly unconscious save for a few min. utes now and then. During his lucid inter- vals he was most tender and affectionate to - his parents and others who were at his bed- side. Between 7 and 8 o'clock last night raises ALBERT Vic'ron. ' the condition of the sufferer grew so bad that the usual bulletin was delayed as it was feared that the end would come at an) mo- ment. Soon afterward he became a shade better and toward midnight he fell into a sleep which, while it was disturbed more than usual, was considered beneficial. At2 o’clock this morning he again become worse and the members of the family who had withdrawn from the room were hastily sum- moned. They all remained at the bedside till death occurred. Both the Prince and Princess of \Vales look haggard and worn out by their continued watching by the bed- side of their son. They are in deepest dis- tress, and nothing can afford them consola- tion for the loss sustained. TILE BEREAVED PRINCESS. The condition of Princess May is pitiable. She wanders from room to room weeping bit- terly. She cannot be made to stay in one place for two minutes together, and she ap- pears to be dazed at the sudden taking off of her betrothed husband. She refuses alâ€" together to touch food, and her terrible dis- tress is causing much apprehension regard ing her. . .l‘he Prince of Wales would allow no one to write the telegra ms announcing the death of his son to the Queen, the lord mayor and the various European sovereigns. He reser- ved to himself this sad task, and all these messages he wrote himself. The telegraph wires leading from Sandringham were kept busy all morning in transmitting messages from the family of the Prince. This afternoon messages of condolence be- gan 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 Gov- ernment is also receiving official messages . from the Prime Ministers of many countries. : Telegrams from all the European capitals report a universal display of tokens of sym- pathy and visits of diplomatic and royal re- presentatives to English embassies to ex- press condolence with the Prince and Prin- cess of Wales. - A special telegram was despatched to the officers of the 10th Hussars stationed in the Marlboro’ barracks. The Duke was a major of the regiment and the knowledge of his death created much excitement. The bar- racks were immediately placed in mourning. The men belonging to the regiment were un- til yesterday engaged in collecting subscrip- tions for a. wedding gift for the Duke. THE FEELING IN LONDON. When the solemn tolling of the great bell in St. Paul’s Cathedral was heard it convey- ed to every one within hearing the fact that the Duke of Clarence and Avondale had passed away. The bells in St. Paul’s are never tolled save on the occasion of the death of an heir to the throne, and, therefore, no further information was needed for the . chief, came over to England with a host of people of London to make them aware that ’ other French words after the conquest, and after u gallant struggle the Duke hadfinally l succumbed. The announcement of his death 2 has caused for less commotion in the city! than was expected, but this was no doubt due to the fact that nearly everybody had given up hope and believed that death was sure to claim the Duke. The telegram from the Prince of \Vales to the lord mayor announcing the death of the Duke was post- ed at the Mansion House at 10 o’clock. COXI‘I‘K‘ION OF THE QUEEN AND PRINCESS ALEXANDRIA.

It is computed by leading physiologists just what the unchristian practices of busi- ness are, but they may be stated in a gem eral way to be just without the pale of honesty with oneself and his neighbor, and it is hardly possible to avoid their commis- sion as business is at present constituted. I And with this in next correspondent agrees heartily. “ hIYy answer to your first question, I amsorry to say is that as the world is at pment constituted it is impossi~ ble to do business successfully on Christian principles. It is the fear of poverty that causes men to abandon Christian principles in business. The buiness man‘s competitor, many times not a Christian, resorts to prac- tices in business that are actually dishonest. That compels a professing Christian to copy them or otherwise stare poverty in the face.” On the other hand, here are other voices: “ It is impossible to do business on Christian principles? No. Is it true that as the busi~ ness world is at resent constituted men must commit sin? I‘lb :” And another writes, “ No ! a thousand times no ! Business men do not have to lie, steal, break any rightful command, or sin in any way. in order to be successful." Still another declares that the conducting of business on Christian princi- ples is “the only hope of success,and happi- ness in this life.” Other men, however, are not so pro- nounced. One who holds that business can be done on Christian principles, admits that it is a difficult undertaking. Another, who read my letter to a considerable number of business men of his acquaintance, and re- ports that every one of them pleaded “ not uil‘. y,”and who really pleads “ not guilty " imself, confesses that he thought of Di 0- genes with his lantern searching (and not very successfully) for an honest man. One correspondent writes in this *uarded way : “ To your first question make reply that business can be and is done on metal, and therefore, Christian principles, by many firms and persons. By this I do not mean that perfection is attained, but that there isa fixed principle of applied in- tegrity, and consequently no more frequent lapses than are found in ordinary mortals. I further believe that the number of erring brothers is no greater pro rata in the com- mercial world than in any of the learned professions, even including that of theology. reiterate my firm conviction that business can be done on Christian principles, and that some of our most successful men have succeeded on this very line.” The reference to the clerical profession was illustrated in connection with this .let- ter by an enclosure of a dozen clippings from the newspapers of that week, contain- ing reports of various misdemeanors on the part of persons legally entitled to write “ re- verend ” before their names. “ Ought to Be Serving Time in a Penitentiary,” was the heading to one of these paragraphs. “ A Bishop’s Sense of Honor,” was another. This same position, that the business men are fully as good as the persons, was held by another writer, already quoted, who said: “ Business life should be, may be, and pro- bably is as pure as ministry ; and may be, and probably is, conducted on as lofty a ground, and for as lofty ends, upon the average.” And another, carrying the same battle a little farther into the regions ecclesiastical, says this : “ Nor do I know of any commer- cial practices that are in opposition to Christian principles ; but there is a high standard of commercial integrity that busi- ness men do not look for, nor expect to find, in so-called religious men. This is not the fault of Christian principles. It is a fact,” he concludes, “that may give you some food for thought.” As indeed it does ! And yet here is an epistle as long as two sermons, which begins thus ; “ Your letter is at hand, and its contents noted with alarm and amazement. The subject is one on which my thoughts have repeatedly dwelt, and with no other result than pain and distressful confusion. In fact, there is little in the business world that will bear comparison with ideal standards and Chis- tisn holiness. The dominating principle of business is selfishness under the form of competition. The rule of Christianity is to love your brother as yourself. These prin- ciples evoke inevitable conflict.” Some of the correspondents, on the other hand, are so emphatic in their certainty of the Christian elements in business, that they have their opinion, and that not 0. fav- orable one, of the young men whose vote was quoted in my letter. One business man thinks that they were probably boys who knew nothing whateverabout business. An- other says that their society should lie called the Sin-Apologetic Association. Another says that “ no decent honest man could suggest that business could not be conducted upon Christian princi lcs success- fully.” Still another writes, “ am sorry for the young men in that Christian Associ- ation who decided in the manner they did, for it only too plainly tells the classes ofj business associates they have had. To them I would say, “ Come up out of the Chatham streets of the business you are in, and breathe the air of the broad-gague, liberal, honest and honorable avenues of the commercial world, and you will change your vote.” Thus my first question was answered by a confusion of voices. Some saying “ yes," and some “ no”; but the majority maintain- ing most earnestly that it is not only pos- sible to do business on Christian principles, but as a fact business is actually done on CARDINAL llllllillill‘s um. His Long and Distinguished Career Gems t4 an End. Cardinal Manning's illnem began in the form of a slight cold toward the end of last week. Comparatively little, it scene, was thought about the matter by toe Cardinal or his household. However, on Saturday Dr. Grasqnct, a rela~ tive to the Cardinal. advised him. if only as a precautionary measure, to remain in bed. This the Cardinal did over Sunday, but by Monday the symptoms had become so pro~ nounced that it was thought desirable to call in another physician. Still nothing was felt in the shape of serious alarm among the members of the Cardinal‘s household. Ap- prehensions did arise, however, when it was announced that bronchitis had set in. Sir Andrew Clark saw the Cardinal in the course of Monday and again yesterday. The CARDIXA L MANNING. lungs it was then understood had become affected. So grave, indeed, had thesitnatiou become that the Cardinal had the last sac- raments of his Church administered. “'eak, excessively weak as he was, Curd- inal Manning closely followed the reading of the rofession of faith. Provost Gilbert, as the end of the Canons’ Court, read over the words which constitute the profession. The Cardinal followed with his finger on an- other book, and now and then he would pause to say a word upon any point which he wished s eeially to emphasize. When the last war had been said the Cardinal in- dividually blessed the Canons, accompany- ing each blessing with a kindly observation. Then the Canons reverently kissed his hand, and he embraced them as in his weak state be best could- Ithecame evident-that the prelate was sinking. At about 4:30 o’clock in the morn- ing the Bishop of Salford, Dr. Vaughan, who was in attendance at the bedside. said mass for the repose of the dying Cardinal's soul. Itwas indeed while the Bishop actual- ly engaged in this solemn office that the spirit of the illustrious prelato lef t its earth- ly tenement. He remained perfectly calm and consciousto the last. Cardinal Manning, in his last years was called often “The last of the Cardinals in England.” Newman, his contem rary and peer, died in August, 1890. ligoward is suffering in Rome from mental derange- ment. So whenever an ecclesiastical utter- ance on questions of the hour, like thelabor problem, socialism, social evils, or political abuses, was expected from an English speak- ing prelate, the eyes of the world were latterly turned to the wise, keen, laborious, benevolent, ‘and bold old man in Westmin- ster. His Eminence Henry Edward Manning. Cardinal, Priest of the Roman Church and Archbishop of Westminster, was the son of Willian Manning, M. P., a London mer- chant, He was born at Totteridge, Hert‘ fordshire, on July 15, 1808. He was edu- cated as a member of the Anglican Ginreh at Harrow and Balliol College, Oxford, and was graduated with high honors in 1830. He was then chosen fellow of Merton Col- lege, and one of the select preachers of the university. Four years later he became re- ctor of Lavington and Grsfl'ham in Sussex, and in 1840 Archdeacon of Chichestcr. In 1842 he took his place among the Pose itcs by the publication of his first work. ‘ Un- ity of the Church.” During the next eight years he published several volumes of ser- mons which, by their power of expression and force of thought, drew to him the at- tention of the whole Church. The decision in the celebrated Gotham case, involving the doctrine as to baptismal regeneration, hav- ing left the whole matter unsettled, Dr. Manning protested that unless the decision 1 be repudiated it would be bindirv' rye-:2 the Church of England. He and othe; celebrat- ed clergyman and laymen of the establish- ment strove strenuously to free the Church from what they considered the decision of a question of doctrine by the Crown, but their efl'orts were unsuccessful. Dr. “arming therefore cut loose from the Church and in 1851 was received into the Roman Catholic faith.

Johnston, Com- missioner of British Central Africa, is mak- ing things exceedingly lively for slave trad- ers in the region south of Lake Nyasea and 5 along the shores of that lake. In July lasti several caravans of slave traders left the coast at Kilwa and Lindi for the interior. They knew that the slave trade had been prohibited, and their intention was to buy and capture slaves in the N yussa region and take them north to sell among other tribes for ivory. They intended also to bring some I of the slaves down to the coast where there . is some opportunity to smuggle slaves to some of the islands along the east coast. J ohnstcn has met these parties on the upper Shire River. The first caravan he sur- prised was at Opandas._ Johnston demanded the unconditional release of the slaves. The traders refused to ive up their booty, and Johnston, assisted y Capt. Cecil Maguire, accordingly stormed the town. He released ‘ 103 slaves and compelled Oponda to agree to the entire abolition of slavery there. John- ston has built a fort across the river com. mending Oponda's village. He has since re- scued 350 slaves from two other of these slaving expeditions. His force is scouring the Nyassa region in all directions to pre- vent further raiding.
