Show Tits KnglUh Royal Succewlon. I hear that tiie Duko of Edinburgh has worried tho queen considerably about tho question of the succession to the throno in the event of Prince Albert Victor Vic-tor ami Prince George dying without issue. Tho duko of Saxe-Coburg-Uotha and tho Empress Frederick are understood under-stood to bo strongly of opinion that, in order to prevent any possibility of dit pules and troubles Tn the future, there ought to bo a formal understanding on tho subject. It is undoubtedly desirable that such questions should be properly and publicly settled in good time, and, human life being uncertain, the anticipated antici-pated situation might arrive any day. lonl Salisbury has been much to blame for letting tho matter slide iu order to avoid threatened disputes, as & formal announcement ought certainly to have been made to parliament before the mar-"iiuro mar-"iiuro took place.
