ONDON, Jan. 26—The prepara- tlons for Queen Victoria's funeral are gradually assuming definite | form. It promises to be most tremendous pageant of the generation. The influx of members of the royal families and representatives of for- eign countries has been so wholly un- precedented that the court officials are finding it Aifficult to procure suitable ac- commodations, the royal palaces being totally inadequate. The procession is expected to occupy | two hours in traversing London from | Victorla Station to Paddington Station, whence the funeral train will depart at 11:15 a. m., reaching Windsor at I1: The coffin will be conveyed in the Queen’ special salon carriage, attached to the royal train, built especially for the Dia- mond Jubllee, by which the King and the royal family will journey to the royal bor- ough. The King, panied by Emperor Willlam, will ride on horseback at the head of the procession through London, with Fleld Marshal Earl Roberts, the commander-in-chief of the forces, and .his staff in close prodimity At least six battalions of infantry, elght squadrons of cavalry and a number of batterfes of artillery will participate in the procession, besides the multitudinous assemblage of peers, members of the House of Commons and court officlals of strange title and stranger garb. The streets will be lined with soldlery, but the route has not yet been definitely fixed. The coffin-bearers will be non-commis- sioned officers from the troops composing the Household Brigade. The probable order of the procession is as follows: The Knight Marshal's men, drummers of the Foot Guards, the House- hold staq, the Judges, Privy Councllors, peers of the realm, the bishops, the royal crown of Hanover, the imperial crown, the crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the royal body on a gun carriage, the Prince of the royal blood, the equerries and the yeomen of the Guards. Units of the army will be in- terspersed in the column and at its head there will be a firing party. Preceding the cortege military bands will play “The Dead March,” The standards will all be draped. as chief mourner, accom- Big Fire in New Jersey.

Bier, Being Over-| come by thz Strain| Many Beautiful Floral " - Offerings Decorate| ' the Queen’s Coffin OWES, Jan. 26.—A number of lead- ing newspaper correspondents were admitted to see the Queen's remains lying in state to-day. Thé | approaches to Osborne House were A cordon ‘of police, the men standing at intervals of a few yards apart, entirely surrounded the building itself. This was the only sign of life. The shades were closely drawn and the royal standurd floated half-mast from the tower. Through the deserted court- vards to the Queen’s entrance the repre- sentative of the Assoclated Press was conducted. It was but a step from the en- trance across the hall to the dining-room, where the Queen's body rested. The en- trance to the room was beautifully draped with crimson, and attached thereto were several gigantic wreaths from the mem- bers of the household. Indian and Highland servants remain constantly on guard with reversed rifles, immovable as statues. The strain is so great that they have to be relleved every hour. One of the guardsmen fainted during the correspondent’s visit and had tosbe borne out of the room. The effect of these sol- diers, standing like wax-work figures, s scarcely conceivable; and, except for thelr stifled breathing, the privileged spectator could hardly convince himself that they were actually alive. The most elaborate wreath, that from the King of Portugal, was brought by spe- clal messenger from the legation to-day. It consists of a great crown of lilies rest- ing on a cushion of violets. The coffin itself is but el(hleen inches from the flower-decked ground. At ijts head were the wreaths of the new King and Queen, while on elther side were the cfferings of the Emperor and Empress of Germany. At the foot was a beautiful floral crown, with a golden “B" from Princess Beatrice. But little of the white satin-covered coffin, or the silk flag on which it rested, was visible, all being al- mgst hidden by the magnificent white pall and crimson velvet robes of the Insignia | of the Order of the Garter, the whole be- ing surmounted by a glittering dlamond crown, which reflects the lights of the tapers, six feet high, in silver candle- sticks. The pall was ten feet long and seven feet wide. Two heavy gold fringes hyng from it and In each corner diagonally were embroidered the royal arms, sur- mounted by the crown.

Nt : instructions on the part of Minister Con- ger it Is apparent that they are deeply | concerned over his conduct of important Questions now engaging the attention of foreign representatives in Peking. Fortunately W. W. Rockhill, the spe- | clai commissioner sent to China last sum- mer, is on the ground, and he keeps Sec- | | retary Hay advised of the progress of ne- | gotiations, so that if Mr. Conger makes | any further mistakes prompt action look- ing to their disavowal can be taken. Daily dispatches are being received from both Conger and Rockhill, and it is belleved that by direction of the Presi- dent and Secretary Hay, Rockhill is taking a more prominent part in the ne- kotiations now going on than Conger permitted him to do in the preliminary dfscussion. Both the Pres!dent and Secretary of | ftate have the highest regard for Roek- hill and they are confident that his judg- | ment, based upon an intimate acquaint- a#nce with the Chinese character, will en- | able the Government to take proper steps for the protection of American interests. ‘The administration does not believe that Conger has agreed to any demand for the the impositior of death penalty upon | several prominent Chinese. Certainly he has given the Department of State ne such information. It was pointed out te-day that in the preliminary agreement | | accepted by the powers and China the | | Chinese Government was required to Im- pese “‘the sever: punishment’ upon eleven officials named in the imperial de- cree and those whom the representatives of the powers should subsequently desig- nate. It is understood that in the discussion | now in progress in Peking the Chinese | envoys have submitted their propositions, and these are being considered by the | ervoys. If China concludes that it Is im- | possible for her to.impose the death pun- | ishment the United States will make no objection, stmply urging chat she shall punish the responsible authors of the out- | rages as severely as possible. VISITS PRINCE CHING. PEKING. Jan. 2.—United States Min- | | ister Conger called upon Prince Ching to- | day. The visit was mainly a social call. | Prince Ching expressed regret at the re- fusal of the Minister to sive the Chinese the Forbidden City in order that they might prepare for the Emperor, saying that it was impossible for the Emperor to | return to Peking until a place shall have | been prepared for his residence. Prince | Ching also stated that he had informed | the missionaries that the Chinese Gov- | ernment had no objection to their remain- ing in the country and continuing their work, which was often beneficial to the country. He considered many of them good men.

PITCHED BATTLE OCCURS AT A BALL One Man Killed and Another Fatally ‘Wounded at a Birthday Celebration. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 26.—A cele- bration of Robert Burns' birthday at Blossburg, a mining town fifteen miles | west of here. ended in a bloody pitched battle in a dance hall at 2 o'clock this | morning, in which Wofford Rich, a South- ern Railway conductor, was killed, and J. D. McKibbons, an engineer, was wounded so badly that he afterward died. Early in the evening Frank Bynum, a young | miner, had sought to dance with a young | woman who had been dancing wita Rich. It 1s sald she declined Bynum's invita- tion, and this incensed him so that he went to Rich to censure him. The men quarreled, and were about to fight when McKibbons, a_friend of Rich, separated them. Bynum) agaln accosted Rich’just before the festivities ended, and McKib- bons again stepped between them. This time Bynum was accompanied by Adam McKee, and the two drew pistols. Rich also drew his revolver, and the three men engaged In a pitched battle in the hall. Eighteen shots were fired, and when the smoke cleared away Rich was dead, Mec- Kibbons fatally wounded and Bynum and McKee had fled. Wild pandemonium reigned in the hall, women fainting and men rushing over each other in their efforts to escape from the place.

MRS. NATION BEATEN WITH A BROOMSTICK Wife of Topeka Joint- Keeper Assails the Saloon-Wrecker. Police With Drawn Revol- vers Protect Crusader From Ruifians. s TOPEKA, Kans, Jan. 26.—Mrs. Carrle Nation caused a great flurry among the joint-keepers of Topeka to-night and as a result knows what it s to be roughly treated by a mob. Mrs. Nation arrived in Topeka at 6:40 and immediately hunted up a newspaper reporter with a request that she be shown some of the leading joints of the eity. Two newspaper men volunteered to pilot her around. She sald she did not wish to begin a smashing crusade, but wanted to talk to the joint- ists. i The keepers of the saloons had become apprised of her Intentlons and when she arrived at Ed Myeis' joint on Kansas avenue she was coafronted by the wife of that individual, who rained blow after blow on her head with a broomstick, while Myers stood by and encouraged the effort. By this time a crowd of a thousand peo- ple had gathered, among whom were numerous sympathizers of Mrs. Nation. Nobody attempted to interfers and soom the jointist's wife stopped her assault. Mrs. Nation sald she was not hurt by | her experience in the least. “What does a broomstick amount to,” she Inquired, “to one who has been so much used to rawhides, rocks and rotten eggs? That woman should be immediately arrested, though. Where is an officer?” Policeman Luster then appeared on the scene for the purpose of protecting Mrs. He commanded the mob to stand back and started up the street with Mrs. | Nation, all the time followed by hooting, jeering rowdies, who were sympathizers with the jointkeepers. Nation at last found refuge in the rooms of the Topeka Capital, wheré the crowd was not allowed to en- ter. Here, surrounded by reporters and newspaper correspondents, she detailed the story of her experiences and what she expected to do In the future. She asked how many joints there were in Topeka. On being informed that there were more than a hundred she threw up her hands in horror and sald the condi- She said: “I would go out against the joints if I had some women to go with me. But I Something You may count on will be done here yet. that.” Mrs. Nation then inquired where she | could go to swear out a warrant against the woman who assaulted her. Officer Luster, who was present, volun- deered to take her to the City Attorney’s office, where she could swear out the war- rant. Mrs. Nation readily assented to accompany the officer on his assurance that he would let nothing harm her. As Mrs. Nation and the policeman stepped out the front door of the Capital building the crowd which had been wait- ing in the strect surged toward her. The policeman instantly drew his pistol and shouted above the uproar: “I am here to protect this woman, and I will shoot the first man who makes a move toward Ler. Stand back, you vil- lains!" The ruffians fell over each other in get- ting out of the way, and Mrs. Nation then proceeded to the office of Assistant City Attorney Gregs, where the warrant was sworn out. The crowd attempted to enter the office bulld‘ng, but was stood off by the officers with drawn pistols. Mrs. Nation addressed the mob for & few moments and they gave her attention. She gave a logical explanation of her ace tion and sald she was a law-abiding citi~ | zen whenever she raided a joint, as a joint had no rights. She was then con- ducted to the place where she was to spend the night. The crowd was kept away from her by a detail of officers. Mrs. Nation finas a different condition in Topeka than the other Kansas towns Chief of Police Stahl is an ardent temperance worker, and he will order his officers to protect Mrs. Na- tion from mob violence whenever neces- sary. The Police Judge could not be found to- night to sign the warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Myers, and that matter will rest un- til Monday. Mrs. Nation says she will prosecute her vigorously. Mrs. Nation will deliver an address to- morrow night in one of the largest churches of the city. Most of the joints here were closed all the evening In the expectation of ralds by Mrs. Nation. ' aere are some elegantly furnished saloons here, and the owners did not want Mrs. Nation to have a chance at the fixtures. MOTHER STEWARY TALKS. Glories in Mrs. Nation’s Work and Predicts Murder of the Crusader. SPRINGFIELD, Ohlo, Jan. 25.—Mother Stewart, famous over the world for her crusades in the interest of temperance, when asked to-day her opinion of Mrs. Nation and her actions in Kansas sald: “1 glory in her.” Continuing, Mother Stewart said: “I was asked a simiiar question by a minister and to him I repiied that I up- held Mrs. Nation and believed If I had a husband and sons who were being ruined by the liquor habit I, too, would develop some of the she-bear instinct.””
