The piece notes coups, deposements, and a shift toward reform under public pressure, arguing the Empress's historic stature remains debated.

Ex Convicts Fitzharris and Mullet Left in Deportation
The Irish ex-convicts Skin the Goat Fitzharris and dwarf Joseph Mullet were deported from New York aboard the steamship Servia after lively parting speeches at the Barge Office. They resisted confinement in steerage, shouted at onlookers, and claimed mistreatment in America. The two had arrived on May 26 aboard the Lucania, faced repeated immigration and Treasury reviews, and ultimately cost Cunard 70 cents daily for board before being sent back to Liverpool.
