LORD ROSEBERY'S EULOGY. | ! Says Victoria Was the Chief of | European Sovereigns. LONDON, Jan. 30.—Lord Rosebery pre- sided special meeting to-day of the tish Corporation, called in Lon- ss resolutions expressing sorrow ath of Queen Victoria and con- gratulations on the accession of King Ed- i VIL. There was a large attendance. Nearly all the Scottish Lords were pres- ent Lord Rosebery, remarking that he would pass lightly over the congratula- tory part of the programme, said his Ma- jesty's speech at the Privy Council meet- ing sufficiently indicated the laws by which he intended his relgn should be governed, thus promising to make his rule no less fllustrious than that of his parent. Lord Rosebery then dwelt in eloguent terms on the life and death of Queen Vic- toria, saying that in the whole history of mankind no death had touched such a large number of persons. There was | scarcely an intelligent Individual in the | civilized world but was profoundly moved. He wondered if her subjects vet realized how much they had lost, and what an enormous weight the Queen had in the councils of the world. It was not bril- | liancy or genlus which could supply the | advantages she gave Great Britaln, but | her fund of knowledge, which was un- equaled by any constitutional historian. It was no disparagement of other kjngs to say she was the chief of European sovereigns and her influence in the coun- cils of nations was always used for| peace, freedom and good government. Royal Scc don to at the d wa onded the resolutions. QUEEN’S FAVORITE HYMNS TO BE SUNG Vast Throng Will Attend Service in the Pavilion Sat- urday. All the arrangements for the Queen Victoria funeral service, which will be held next Saturday afternoon in the pleted.

DEPRAVITY AMONG TROOPS. Many Crimes Said to Have Been Committed by Germans. BERLIN, Jan. 30.—A speclal dispatch to the Cologne Volks Zeitung from China relates horrible details about the war- fare of that country and says: “We hope the awful conditions will soon cease. The depravity and bestiality also amrong our troops is enormously on the increase. Large numbers of old sol- diers are sentenced to long terms in the penitentiary and jail for murder, assault or burglary. Our losses are certainly greater that way than by death. Dis- eases are still rampant, especially ty- phus. Dysentery is decreasing. During November there were nine deaths from disease In Paotingfu alone, and also two from powder explosions. One %nagazine containing 450,000 pounds of powder was blown up, but only one man was killed and three men were wounded.” HUNDREDS OF CASES OF SMALLPOX AT GLASGOW Surgeon General Wyman Receives Dispatch Stating That Disease Is Spreading. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Surgeon Gen- eral Wyman to-day received a dispatch from Surgeon Thomas at London stating that the Consul at Glasgow reports 385 cases of smallpox, and that the disease is spreading.

C. T. U. women, headed by Mrs. Sher- ift of Danville, Kans, completely wrecked the fixtures of four “joints,” smashing plate-glass windows and mir- rors and turning gallon after gallon of liquor into the streets. The women, who | were of the best families in Anthony, | were accompanied by their husbands, sons or brothers, who assured protection. No arrests were made, and the band will, it is said, start out to-morrow morning on a tour of destruction through Harper Coun- ty, which is prolific 1: saloons. Mrs. ‘Sheriff, who led to-day’s raid, is| under bond to appear at Danville in April to answer a charge cf saloon-wrecking | placed against her six weeks ago. A Mrs. Sheriff came to Anthony late yesterday and worked all night, procuring hatchets and other implements of destruction, and it was 2 o'clock this morning before she | had perfected plans for the raid. The women began their attack shortly after | daybreak, taking the saloon-keepers and the town officials by surprise. Among the brigade were two or three schoolgirls under age, who did some of the most effective smashing. A greater part of the havoc was finished before the police or Mayor were aware of what was | going on. The actual damage to personal | property, aside from the liquor destroyed, | is placed by the saloon-keepers at $2000. | For a time the whole town was in an | uproar and it was feared that personal | violence would result. The first place at tacked was situated In the rear of a drug stove, which was forcitly entered from the rear. It contained costly bar fixtures | and a valuable cash register. Within a few minutes the women had smashed everything in sight, but in their hurry to | finish this job and go to other places they | overlooked the bulk of the liquor stored | away. Half a block down the street the sec- ond scene of joint-smashing was enactel. They found this saloon locked, but axes were applied and the whole glass frout was smashed in. Here their work was more complete. The bullding, a great | plateglass mirror and everything in sight was reduced to the maximum of the Mrs. Nation idea. The proprietor was smashed on the head with a beer bottle and his bicod mixed with the fiow of liquors over the floor. In quick succession two other places a short distance down the street were sub- Jected to similar treatment, the fixtures smashed and all the liquor turned into the | moment’s notice. | the W. gutter. The women then prayed within sight of | | the wreckage they had spread. One wo- | | man, in an appeal to the Almighty, asked that he guide them to other dens of in- lquity and direct their footsteps to rum- | cursed towns in.Kansas. This prayer was | interpreted to mean that the Anthons women would extend thelr crusade and word was hurriedly sent over the tele- phone wires to adjacent towns by local saloon sympathizers who wished to warn their fellow jointists. No arrests were made. As a sequel to the rald a number of young men and two or three small boys became drunk. During the excitement they had followed the crusaders into the saloons and secured a quantity of whisky, wine and beer. The young men of Parkdale, a suburb of Topeka, have organized what they call a “Hatchet Club.” They favar Mrs. Na- tion and her mode of closing saloons. A special from Coffeyville says: Every jolnt in Montgomery County is closing to- day as a result of ths action of County @t e el el @ | Attorney Dana, who served notice on the keepers that they would not be.permittad to run longer. o BT TO FOLLOW MRS. NATION. Topeka Women Organize a Band to ‘Wreck Saloons. TOPEKA, Kans., Jan. 30.—Mrs. Carrle Nation to-day organized a band of forty- six women to follow her leadership and assist in wiping out joints. The band was formed at a mass meeting of women called by Mrs. Nation and presided over by her at the Presbyterian church. Every seat was occupled. Mrs. A. F. Dumenil was elected local president and Mrs. Wil- liam Usher secretary. These women will take charge of the work in Topeka dur- ing Mrs. Nation's absence. The others agree to follow the criisader wherever she may lead and to do her biding at a Mrs. Nation announced that they would go ahead regardless of C. T. U. They would, she said, glve warning before resorting to violence. | Remarkable enthusiasm was displayed at the meeting and Mrs. Nation was cheered | to the echo. Robert F. McCulloch, County Attorney | of Harper County the joint smashing at Anthony. “I have not been able to close the joints in Harper or Anthony because the city | authorities favor them,” sald he. “They told me it was none of my business and I have not made a detective of myself.” Mr. McCulloch appeared to be pleased at the course things have taken at his home. Chief of Police Stahl announced to-night that when Mrs. Nation raided a joint here he would arrest her so as to make a test case. He wants toyascertain if a saloon-keeper has any rights law and if saloon property can be pro- tected. TO START COUNTER CRUSADE. Question of Prohibition Again to Bes Passed to the Legislature.

FIVE CENTS. WRECKACE STRENS THE SHIRE LI Evidence That the Ship Andrada Has Foundered. | Seamen Believe Several Ves- sels Were Lost During 2 Recent Gale. i iome Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, Jan. 30.—The steamer Queen City returned from the west coast to- night, bringing news of "the finding of more wreckage, scattered, though, and insufficiently identified to definitely solve the mystery of what vessel it had come from. One piece of wreckage, how- ever, seems to indicate the fate of one of the large missing vessels, the ship An- drada. Three or four days ago Light- house Keeper Daykin found a piece of teak, evidently the back part of a ship's hoat, in Which was cut the letters “An- drada.” This plece of teak, which was ricked up by Daykin on Bonilla Point, is evidently from one of the boats of the | missing ships. The Andrada entered the Columbia River about six weeks ago from Santa Rosalla and took on board Pilot Cordi- rer, intending to cross the bar next morn- ing. During the night. a gale sprang up solve the problem of how to meet the cru- | sade started by Mrs. Nation. gestion is to open a ecounter crusade against the prohibitory law and immedi- | utely ask the Legislature now in session to resubmit the prohibitory amendment to a vote of the people. This, it is thought. would open up the question of saloons or no saloons in Kansas for legitimate dis- cussion outside of hatchets and stove- shakers. Wichita business men think the time has been made ripe by the action of Mrs. Nation and the Anthony crusaders for the Legislature to take action on the question of resubmission, which all Leg- islatures have dodged for twenty years. Representative Luling and Senator Tapp will each recelve a resubmission resolu- | tion from Wichita to-morrow. i BoAd i WRECKS A BOSTON BAR. Mrs. Green Gets in Jail by Imitating Mrs. Nation. BOSTON, Jan. 30.—Mrs. Mary Green, who seemed to be famillar with the meth- ods of Mrs. Carrie Nation of Kan: wrecked a Cambridge-street barroom last evening and to-day was sentenced to serve | a term in Deer Island House of Correc tion. Mrs. Green not only laid the bar- tender low with a plate but also broke the barware, shattering several plate glass mirrors, and drove the frightened patrons | of the establishment into the wine cellar. “I'm Carrie Nation,” she yelled, “and T'll leave no rum shop in the town when | I get through.” COUNT VON WALDERSEE'S PLANS FOR EVACUATION| China Must Inflict Punishments and Agree to Pay Indemnities Demanded. Special Dispatch to The Call PEKING, Jan. 30.—The plan of Com- mander in Chief von Waldersee for the evacuation of Peking and other places now held by the allled troops was trans- mitted to the foreign Ministers to-day | through the various commanders of the allles. Count von Waldersee says: “Before these changes can be under- taken the Chinese will have to make a start at least toward fulfilling the con- ditions of the peace treaty. I believe that for this purpose the actual infliction of punishment on the guilty parties as de- manded by the diplomatic corps will be sufficlent, together with China’s consent to pay the different governments the war indemnities to be demanded by them. When this has been done the withdrawal of the foreign forces frdm Peking and Paotingfu may follow. At the same time the forces in Pechill may be minimized Count von Waldersee then calls atten- tion to the fact that it is impossible to embark the foreign troops before March on account of the frozen condition of the rivers and harbors and lack of transpor- tation. Count von Waldersee continues: “Tientsin and the nelghborhood of Shan- haikwan will have to remain occupied by the international troops until the follow- ing conditions are fu!filled: ; “First—The Chinese Government must give proof that it is willing and able to maintain peace and order in the province of Chihll, and to effectually protect mis- sionaries, Christians and other foreigners. “Second—The Chinese Government must state in what manner it will manage to provide money for the payment of indem- nities. This must be satisfactory to the powers,"” During the transition period Count von Waldersee states that the international troops must remain as follows: Force of 2000 in Peking, to protect legations; in the district of Tientsin, Lutal and Taku, about 6000; at Shanhatkwan, 1500. There must be small garrisons of 200 or 300 men along the rallroad line. The com- mander in chief suggests seven of these stations. Military stations on the Peiho at Hoshl- wa, Matow and Tungchow will remain occupled until the evacuation of Chihii province. The provisional government at Tientsin will remain in force during tha transition period. In another: letter Count von Waldersea says that In time of peace it will not be necessary to occupy so many stations from Peking to the sea. but the alil should have a garrison of 1500 at Tientsia, and posts on the way to Peking sufficient- 1y close together to enabie them to patrol the intervening distance daily. —_— SERIOUS RIOTS AT EIEFF UNIVERSITY Many Students Killed and Wounded in Conflicts With Cos- sacks. LONDON, Jan. 30.—The Westminster Gazette says serious riots have occurred at Kieff University. Conflicts have taken place between the students and Cossacks, in which many of the former were killed or wounded. The sug- | and the vessel was blown to sea and Is belleved to have been wrecked. It was thought that she had been driven north cn the Vancouver Island coast, but the return of the Queen City from her cruise to the extreme north of the fsland dis- proves this. Officers of the steamer con- sider that she has turned turtle and be- lieve more wreckage will from her before long. Other wreckage was picked up on a cmall island about a mile out from Kyuquot. There a pair of oars about ten feet long, stamped with the letter “H.™* “wvere found and a bundle of corn brooms and much lumber of all kinds, the | beaches being littered for miles both thera come ashore | ana at various peints ail along the island | coast. | On this island near Nootka was found a number of tins of salmon, with other wreckage. The wreckage was plcked up by Indians two weeks ago. Thers is no clew to the identity of the vessel from which it came. Whether the salmon is more of the lot found near Astoria some days ago, as a result of which there is some talk of a disaster to the Ardna- murchan, cannot be stated. The revenue cutter Grant was seen an- chored at Cloose, bound north on her | eruise of Investigation. | TWO BODIES FOUND ON A WRECKED SCHOONER The Kione, a Small Trading Vessel, Meets Disaster Off Dundas Island. VICTORIA, Jan. 30.—News was brought by the steamer Willapa, which returned from Northern British. Columbia ports to-day, of a wreck and loss of life dur- ing the recent storm. On January 24 two Indians arrived at Port Simpson and re- ported to John Flewin. the Government | | | { According to the story of officer there, that they had found at Dun- das Island the previous day a schooner drifting, with the body of one white man in the cabin, lylng with one arm hanging over the hatchway with a life belt around his waist. Lashed to the rigging was the body of another unidentified white man The wrecked schooner was a small ves- sel, the Kione, a trading vessel belong- ing to Point Roberts. Little was known of her up the codst, other than that she had been seen at some of the rancherias trading with the Indians It is thought that the dead men found on the schooner did not comprise the entire list of dead. the Indians, clothing was found that indicated that three men had been on the schooner just prior to the disaster, and on the beach at Dundas Island, the Indlans reported. was the clothing of children. It was not possible from the story of the Indians to find how or when the schooner had met disaster. On January 25 Mr. Flewin left Port Simpson to investigate the wreck and learn all of the particulars possible. OPPOSES INVESTIGATION AT THE NAVAL ACADEMY Secretary Long States His Views in a Letter to the House Naval Committee. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Secretary Long has addressed a letter to the House Naval Committee relative to the pending resolution touching hazing at the Annapo- lis Naval Academy. The Secretary says: “Both the department and the superin- tendent would welcome any Investigation. However, sych an investigation will necessarily tend very much to demoralize the academy” for the time being and prob- ably for the rest of the spring term, in- terrupt:ng the course of study. No com- plaint has come to me during the time I have been Secretary of the Navy of any hazing at the academy. Had any such case existed at the academy I feel confi- dent that the complaint would have been made. “From ‘he best Information T can get the practice of hazing has been min- imized by the better public sentimen: of and late years, dnd the result of the raceut fnvestigation at West Point will undoubt- edly tend still farther to emphasize the sentiment of the public and of the stu- dents themselves against the practice. An investigation at the naval academy does not seem to be required.”
