A5IERICAN SYMPATHY. (rEOM OCB OWX OOEKESTOXDEXT.) NEW YOliK, Jan. 22. In tho early afternoon tho tolling of tho bells of Trinity Church announced to New York the death of tho Queen. Throughout tho city on public and private buildings tho American flag was hoisted and half masted.

Tho flags on the shipping in tho port are at half mast. The bulletins arriving from London since tho morning have been scanned with growing fear that the worst was at hand. You might read their purport ott tho faces of men who passed. Tho first official news which reached us was that of the Queen's physicians. Tho last was.

Eor eight years I lived in London in tho midst of an admirable French colony and in circumstances at times more, than difficult, even critical.

It would seem that in our cLivs the people accord moro credit to a Qu en than to a King. Tho young Queen of Holland is the beloved child of her entire kingdom. The Queen Regent ot Spain, although a foreigner, has managed to get herself not only accepted but adopted by her subjects. A woman tinds human words to speak to her people which do not occur to statesmen, and which open hearts and quell anger. Tho Queen should havo died two rears ago, but she disappears now in timo not to assist at terrible struggb s.

We Frenc hmen should regret her death, not only Utauso sho loved ieace, but because sho liked our country. Sho spoke of it as old men tn ak of 1 heir youth. Sho came here, and sho would havo come much oftcner if sho lad consulted solely her own feelings.
