Marked Tributes of Respect to the Queen’s Memory. LONDON, Feb. 1.—To-morrow wiil be a day of complete national mourning not only in London but throughout the prov- inces and the colonies. There wiil be a general closing of shops and a suspension of business, as well as the ho of me- morial services. The directors of the Northeastern Raflway system of England have ordered that at 2:30 p. m. to-mor- row, the hour appoirted for the funeral &t Windsor, all trains shall be brought to & standstill and every servant of the com- pany shall remain motionless for ten minutes. The King has ordered that the same men who will carry the coffin to-morrow in the procession shall bear it to the | mausoleum at Frogmore Monday. The managers of the London afternoon papers have decided unanimously to sus- pend publication to-morrow (Saturday), =0 that those who are not able to witness the funeral scenes will have to wait until ay for the descriptions. Such a sus- ion, except on Good Friday, is almost ut precedent. It will serve to em- lemnity of a great occasion, Mail this morning recalls that on the o n of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth no foreigner followed the bie: with the exception of the French Emba sador, and it adds that “now all Euroz will accompany the bier of the mother of sovereigns.”’ The naval display will be less striking than on the occasion of the Diamond Jubi- lee. 1t had been expected that more for- eign men-of-war would be present. More- over, several vessels of the Channel squadron are now detained for repairs at their base port. Yet the spectacle will be extremely majest The Spanish war- ship Emperador Carlos V, which was or- dered to Portsmouth, has been obliged to return to Ferrol, her engines being dis- abled.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—A dispatch to the World from London says: Consider- able alarm was occasioned by to-night's bulletin concerning the Duke of Corn- wall and York. The Duke's constitution is none too robust at the best, and an at- tack of this description is severe even | on the strongest adult. Complications are feared, and Sir Willlam Broadbent, a great fever spectalist, is expected at Os borne, It was an attack of German measles that first broke down lord Rosebery's Health, producing Insomnia, from whicn he has never completely-recovered and to allay which he keeps constantly seeking a change of air. | EETE Arrival of Prince Henry.

The squadron of German war- ships commanded by Prince Henry of Prussta, comprising the flagship Baden and the crulsers Victorla Luise, Hagen and Nymph, reached Spithead this morn- ing. Dragoon Guard Named Victoria. BERLIN, Jan. 31.—The Cabinet has de- creed that the First Dragoon Guard Regl- ment will henceforth be named the Queen Vietoria of Great Britain and Ireland Regiment. | S TS A PAVILION IS TOO SMALL. | | Large Crowds Expecfed at Funeral Services for Late Queen. It is estimated- that 5000 people have been unable to secure tickets for the Queen Victorla funeral service which fs to be held to-merrow afternoon at Me- chanics’ Pavilion. All day yesterday Wil- Ham Greer Harrlson and Dr. Frederick d’Evelyn were busily engaged In answer- ing personal requests for tickets, the ap- plications coming from men and women in all walks of life. All applicants were informed, however, that the seating ca- pacity of the pavilion had been allotted. “Tickets for the members of the choirs, who will take part In the service, were mailed last night. The eingers and mu- slcians will be requested to be at the pavilion as early as possible to-morrow afterncon. The doors will be opened at 1:15 p. m., and the service will begin promptly at 2 o'clock., As soon as ticket- holders are seated the police will allow 2000 people to occupy standing room. Rev. Dre.

ST L Hope That by Such Tactics the Meas- ure Will Not Be Brought to a Vote During This Session. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—The Demo- cratic Senators and their co-workers in the Senate who are opposed to the ship subsidy bill did not hold a formal con- ference to-day to decide upon a course to be pursued with reference to that measure, as had been announced they would do. The explanation was made that it had been discovered that the op- position was so determined as to render a special meeting unnecessary. While there was no caucus, hewever, there was a general exchange of views of the ml- nority Senators, which enabled the lead- ers to form a qlite definite opinion at the close of the day of the position of the op- position as a whole. The decision reached is to continue the debate upon the bill at the present, with the hope of being able to keep it going until it will become necessary for the Republican ma- jority to take up the appropriation. bills and other measures which should pass be- fore the 4th of March. They say that they have speeches assured for eight or ten days, and there are probably other Sena- tors ‘who will prepare speeches within that time. Among those who will talk are Senators Danlel, Caffery, Berry, Kenny, Allen, Money, Lindsay, Butler and Petiigrew. Clay a ner also will make speeches In mddition to those they have already celivered on this question. It Is expected that Sena- tor Caffery will talk at least two days. The opposition also count upon speeches from the Republican side of the_cham- Senators Allison, Perkins, Spooner nd McCumber being included in the list of probable speakers, The canv of the situation has con- vinced the Democratic leaders that there are half a dozen or more Republican Sen- ators who would like to see the bill de- feated even in its amended form, but thay do not expect to cast their votes against the bill if it should come to a vote. On the other hand, they count upon the loss of some of their own membership in sup- port of the bill. The Democrats contend that they do not want to filibuster against the bill, but say they will Insist upon Its thorough dis- lon before consenting to vote upon it. They take the position that if there is to be an extra session of Congress it will be better for them to have the subsidy matter among the questions to be con- sidered by it, and say they are willing ;o y lation. @il cileflimies defefefecloimioleeieininl-@ COMMISSIONER WESSELS SHOT Reported Execution of the Boer Official by Dewet.

The identity of Andries Wessels, report- ed to have been shot by General Dewet at Klipfontein on January 25, cannot be definitely established, but Lord Roberts on July 4 last reported that General Me- thuen had captured the commander of De- wet's scouts, two other prisoners and, according to the cable, Andries Wessels, the head of the Afrikander Bund. JOHANNESBURG, Jan, 3L—Four or five hudred Boers who recently evaded the British patrols reached Bencni and the ‘mines. Some fighting resulted and the Boers were beaten off, carrying most of their wound- | ed with them. One Briton was wounded. Commandant Marais was wounded during the attack, and was subsequently cap- tured., LONDON, Feb. 1.—"“General Dewet's forces consist of 1600 men and two guns,” | says the Cape Datly Maii. that he has entered Cape ‘own correspondent of the “It is unoflicially confirmed Colony, but definite news is impatiently awaited.” “It is understood here,” says the Dur- ban correspondent of the Standard, “that | operations in the fleld will soon be re- vived on a large scale, and the policy of hunting out and capturing the Boers with mounted troops will be pursued.” The Daily News this morning edltorially urges that an endeavor should pe made to utilize the presence in England or numerous sovereigns in representatives or European States on the occaslon when the world 1s mourning the death of a peace- loving Queen, to secure fthe cessation ot the “‘unhappy war in South Africa.” INDIAN TROUBLE MATERIALLY SUBSIDES Colonel Commanding Militia Reports No Further Cause for Alarm. -GUTHRIE, O.
