On Its arrival in London, the royal coffin will be removed from the carriage by an officer and 12 men of the Grenadier Guards, placed on a gun carriage, and the crown and cushion will be laid thereon.

The -gun carriage will be surrounded by bearer party of non-commissioned of ficers of the guards, while outside of these, on either side, will be two lines as follows: On the left of the carriage, the Lord Chamberlain, aide-de-camp; the Queen's physician. Sir James Reid: equer ries and lord in waiting: on the right of the carriage, the Lord Steward, aides-de-camp, equerries and Lord In Waiting. Immediately behind the gun carriage comes the King, riding. On his left the Duke of Connaught. on his right Em peror William, both riding. Following these come the" royal family, royal "rep resentatives and" master of the horse, all rlJ.rg, four four-horse carriages, con rejlng the Queen and Princesses, and the Kings of Belgium, Portugal and the HcMenes probably riding, closing the escort. The programme of the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk, does not deal with the Windsor ceremony. In connection with which much still remains to be fione. The Duke of Norfolk and his staff have been extremely busy and do not expect much respite before mldn'ght. The department of the master of the horse is also busily occupied and the Duke of Portland and his subordinates havo been all working early and late to get everything in readiness. So determined are they to have no hitch that they have decided upon still another rehearsal of the procession, using the actual gun car riage This rehearsal will carefully set tle all points of halting and other details. This evening the Earl Marshal Issued further Instructions. These announce thit since the letters of invitation wer printed, the hour for the ceremony at SL George's Chapel. Windsor, has been changed from 1 to 2 o'clock P. M.; that 6pec!al trains for Invited guests will !eave Paddlngton station for Windsor at noon: that the train for the members of the diplomatic corps will leave at 12:30 P. M , and that trains bearing the royal retrains and those who have participated tn the procession will leave at 1 P. M. The statement of the Duke of Norfolk also eays: "The Earl Marshal regrets extremely that, owing to the enormous number of applications and the pressure of time. rt has been found impossible to reply to many communications." Yesterday the railroad company began the erection at Victoria Station, London. of the pavilion in which King Edward will receive the various foreign repre eentat'ves In the interval of waiting for the removal of the coffin from the train to te carriage. The Crown Prince of Roumania and the Crown Prince of Denmark arrived in London late this evening. V"1 to i o'clock this sfterr.oon the oc- jviri: of the hour.s alone the route of t-e prcr-stcr had done little In the way spving draperies or other signs of tnc-rnlnp In Buckingham Palace road. w ero a crowd of idlers was In front of ,ve rr trance of the royal stable taking I' Sen 'rttrrsrt In the constant going and cvl"? of roya' carriages, some shop rwro astcfjHj draped with purple and hz?K rurple xnfi white or purple and sil ver lmcst every rtore advertised seats o let. Wherever a few feet of space are aal,rble stands arc In course of erec tion. Preparations are everywhere being tride to cover th stands with purple r!oth and this will go a long way towards g?l'r the effect of general mourning. Stand1- are being orected close to St. James Palace, which, when filled, will hide the va'ace from the Mall. Even on the -.tlr-Ili'tigs of the palace, on the bal-c-y vs hence King Edward's accession was proclaimed and In the gardens of Marlborough House, similar provisions for e-estors Hre jeiny made. Carpenters ar.l JoJners are everywhere building Et-UiJs and shoring up balconies. The same condition of things prevails In Plc "ail'Iy. Seating accommodations are be ing prepared In every possible nook, from Devorsh.ro House to the balcony of Aps ley House Lamp posts In the middle of the roadways are being removed. In Hyde Park, of course, neither decoration nor stands are possible. Therefore, only an occasional glimpse of a purple draped balc;ny In Park Lane is obtainable. In Edgeware Road and thence to Pad dlngton are the liveliest scenes of all. The entire population of the district and suburbs seems to have congregated in search of accommodation and trafficking tn seats Is going on In the street, which gives the appearance of a busy market. Hardly a house but is being let out, and fancy prices are easily obtainable for seats on uncomfortable stands and on the smallest balconies. Cambridge Row is lined on both sides with stands erected in the gardens, and people eagerly pay 3 or 1 for seats on them, while windows in the houses in the rear of the stands, with trees between them and the roadways, axe considered cheap at 30. The royal arrivals in the metropolis to day Included the Crown Prince of Nor way and Sweden and the Duke and Duch ess of Aosta, the King of Wurtemburg and Prince Mahommed All. Their respec tive Embassies or Legations and repre sentatives of King Edward met the vis itors and conducted them to places of residence. The French, Turkish and Bul garian missions have also arrived. The United States Embassy will send to Windsor Castle three magnificent floral wreaths from President McKInley and Mrs. Garfield, and a cross from Ambas sador Choate. The President's wreath is eight feet In diameter. Members of King Edward's suite tell their friends that His Majesty appears overwhemed by the sense of the responsi bilities of Kingship. Whereas, formerly, he was genial, but exacting and Irritable regarding official matters, he has be come profoundly grave and exceedingly considerate to those about him in small as well as In Important matters. He has worked many hours dally since the Queen's death, disposing of two or three Weeks' arrears of public business which she had not been able to attend to. Society expects that King Edward will make St. James the most brilliant court In Europe, hold night drawing-rooms. In stead of the somewhat dreary afternoon functions of the past quarter of a cen tury, and provide refreshments Instead or leaving the guests to eat sandwiches in their carriages, under the eyes of the crowd. Those who have been presented to Queen Victoria will be entitled to attend King Edward's drawing-rooms after sub mitting their names to the Lord Cham berlain. It Is hoped the King will revive the custom of the monarch visiting the castles of the nobility, and also revive the holding of drawing-rooms at Holy Rood Palace. Whether he will adopt the prerogative of kissing the cheeks of the ladies presented, followed by the Viceroys of India and Ireland, is one of the topics of society gossip. For the funeral, 33,000 soldiers will be under arms. Three thousand men will march In the procession, and the re mainder will line the route. The detach ments of troops In the procession will represent every branch of the army, navy, yeomanry and volunteers. The military display, however, will not not be spec tacular. All the men will wear overcoats, except the Irish Footguards on duty at Buckingham Palace. Twenty thousand soldiers are pouring into London from the country. School buildings will, be util ized as barracks. An army of workmen today is preparing Victoria Station for the arrival of the funeral cortege. The placards have been torn down, the wood and iron works have been repainted, and the stores In the vicinity display the royal monogram on a black and purple back ground. All the possible details of the ceremonies are being rehearsed. It has been arranged that any of the Kings not on horseback In the proces sion shall drive in company with the Princesses, while the Princes not desir ing to ride shall not participate in the procession, but will drive by a shorter route to Paddlngton and await Its arrival there. In all the ceremonies connected with the funeral, the Crown Prince of Germany, Frederick William, will take precedence next to and after the crowned reads. In view of the Duke of Corn wall and York being unable to attend, his oldest son Is expected to take the place in the procession originally allotted to the heir apparent. The saloon carriage in which It Is in tended to convey the coffin to Victoria Station, has arrived at Portsmouth. The interior is lined with white silk with braid, purple stripes extending vertically from the roof to the floor, which is car peted with gray felt. The bier stands In the center of the carriage, completely enshrouded with purple. It Is now generally accepted that the wording of the proclamation in Pretoria describing Edward VII as "Supreme Lord of and over the Transvaal" was delib erately designed to promote conciliation. Special significance is attached to the fact that the Times prints a letter from Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, in which the diplomat declares It is difficult to ex aggerate the Importance of this wise and benenclent step. The title, he says, is likelier than any other that could be devised to lead to pacification. It estab lishes the supremacy of the British sov ereign and recognizes the moral entltity of the Transvaal, keeps It separate from the constitutional empire, and places its ancient laws, customs, traditions, relig ion, genealogy and private property un der the supreme, separate rule" and pro tection of the King. The proclamation, concludes Sir Henry, was inspired by the desires of conciliatory statecraft and the result must be pacific. King Edward has conferred the Grand Cross of the Victorian Order on Count von Meeternich. (The Count von Metternlch referred to is probably Count Wolf von Met ternlch, a great favorite of Em peror William of Germany, who repre sented Germany in London early In 1900, during the absence of the German Am bassador, Count von Hatzfeld-Wildenberg. Count von Metternich's name was men tioned at the time as the probable suc cessor of Count von Hatzfeld In London, the latter having, according to report, fallen Into disfavor with the Emperor.) It Is officially announced that King Ed ward has definitely decided to open Par liament in person February 14. The directors of the Northeastern Rail way system of England have ordered that at 2:S0 P. M. Saturday, the hour appointed for the f uncial at Windsor, all trains shall be brought to a standstill and every servant of the. company shall remain mo tionless for 10 minutes. The King has ordered that same men who will carry the coffin in the procession shall bear it to the mausoleum at Frog more Monday. The managers of the .London afternoon papers have decided unanimously to sus pend publication Saturday, so that those who are not able to witness the funeral scenes will have to wait until Sunday for the descriptions. Such a suspension, except on Good Friday, is almost without precedent. It will serve to emphasize the solemnity of a great occasion. The Dally Mall recalls that on the occa sion of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth no foreigner followed the bier, with the exception of the French Ambassador, and It adds that "now all Europe will ac company the bier of the mother of sov ereigns." The naval display will be less striking than on the occasion of the diamond jubi lee. It 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 majestic 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. The Czarowltch and other distinguished persons who are now crossing the Channel to England will complete the list of guests. Following is the list of royal mourners, with those deputed to attend them during their sojourn In England: The Duke of Aosta, Major-General Slade; Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, Major General Sir A. Ellis; Prince Arnulff, of Bavaria, Colonel Wardrop; the King of the Belginas, Earl Howe and Colonel E. Brown: Grand Duke Frederick of Baden. Hon. E. Stoner, the Regent of Coburg, Prince Philip of Coburg. the Crown Prince of Denmark, Colonel Sir I. Kingscole; Prince Ibrahim, of Egypt, Colonel Doug las Dawson: the French mission: King George of Greece, the Earl of Gosford: the Prince of Hohenzollern, Lieutenant Colonel A, Collins; the Grand Duke of Hesse, Lord W. G. Cecil: Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse, Prince von Hohenlohe Langenbourg, Duke Adolphus Frederick of Mecklenburg-Sterlitz; the Netherlands mission, Colonel A. Court; Prince Henry of Prussia, Admiral Sir John E. Commerk: King Charles of Portugal, the Earl of Denblg and Colonel J. Clerk; the Crown Prince of Roumania, H. Weest; Prince Henry of Reuss; the CzaroVitch, Lord Summerfield; the Duke of Sparta, Cap tain Hon. S. Fortlsque; the Prince of Saxe-Melnlngen, Hon. J. Wolfe; Prince John of Saxony, Captain W. P. Camp bell: the Prince of Saxe-Altenbourg, Hon. A. Fitzclarence; the Duke of Schleswig Holstein; the Crown Prince of Slam; the Crown Prince of Sweden and Norway, Colonel Brocklehorst; the Prince and Princess of Schaumburg-LIppe, Hon. A. Gavelle; the Turkish Minister. Major Bar nardi Stone; the Prince of Wurtembourg, Captain M. Drummond. In the Windsor ceremony, few beyond the immediate members of the family will see much after the procession has entered St. George's Chapel, which will be divided by a carved screen, back of which the services will be conducted in visible to most of the nonroyal Invited guests on the other side. It appears that after her death. Queen Victoria was arrayed In her royal robes, with all her foreign orders and decora tions. Over these and across her breast was laid the ribbon and order of the garter. Her bridal veil was then placed over her head and face. WANT NO NEW COUNTY. Two-Thirds of Yakima Voters Sign Remonstrance. NORTH YAKIMATwasn., Jan. 31. The local committees In charge of the matter of prevention of division of Yakima Coun ty have received protests against the step from all but two of the sevtfn precincts In the proposed county of Riverside, which were to be taken from Yakima County. The voting population of the entire terri tory, November 6,was approximately 450. The actual voting population now, includ ing residents who will be voters within five or six months. Is probably 600. The gain has been mainly In Sunnyside pre cinct. The signers on the remonstrances, which will be forwarded to Senator Baker tomorrow, number over 400. It will thus be seen that the reports sent out that there Is practically no opposition to division In the proposed new county Itself are wholly Incorrect. It is believed here that the project to divide the county is dead. The statement Is made that Representative Rich, of this county, will not exert himself for It, and that It is doubtful If a bill for division is Introduced in the Legislature. Lobbyists Raised Fands. Patrick Henry Scullln and John McLean, of Seattle, -were In town tnls week, mak ing collections, to be used, they said, in lobbying a bill through the Legislature providing for a State Board of Arbltra tion. At their Instance a public meeting was held last night, and resolutions fa voring such a commission were adopted. They secured small sums of money from merchants and others interested. Those who contributed were somewhat disquieted this morning by a letter from Spokane, sent to the Postmaster, In which serious charges against the good faith and In tentions of Mr. Scullln respecting the funds collected were made. Candidates for Postmaster. G. J. Hill, chairman of the Republican County Central Committee; George 8. Hough, secretary, Lieutenant W. L. Lemon, an ex-Phillpplne soldier; F. C. Hall, ex-County Auditor; A. S. Paul, Col onel L. S. Howlett and Colonel W. F. Prosser, are the candidates In the field thus far for the vacancy left by the death of Postmaster Sperry, of this city. The office pays $2000 a year. The appoint ment Is to be made, It Is said, by Con gressman W. L. Jones, whose residence is here. It Is expected that he will name the new Postmaster within the next 30 days. Land Office to Be Moved. The United States land office, which has been domiciled in the First National Bank building for the last three years, will be removed to the quarters which it for merly occupied In the Howlett block. In spector Burke, who has oeen here for 10 days, has recommended the change, and It will be made March 1. Commercial Clnb Officers. Officers of the Commercial Club for the ensuing year were elected at the club's annual meeting last night, as follows: President, George Donald; first vice-president, I. H. Dills; second vice-president, C. A. Graham; treasurer, Frank Bar tholet; new members of the governing board, O. A. Fechter, Phil Ditter, Edward Whltson, J. D. Medlll, A. E. Larson; trus tees, J. D. Cornett, R. K. Nichols, A. B. Weed, A. Shlndeler. i MAY GET TWO FACTORIES. Vancouver Has Good Offers and "Will Likely Meet Terms. VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. SL At a special meeting of the Commercial Club yesterday to consider the manufacturing propositions submitted some time ago. the Columbia Fruit Canning Company of fered, If the city would furnish a suitable site, to erect a building and operate a fruit cannery, with a capacity of 25,000 cases the first season, the capacity to be Increased annually to meet the demand. The cost of building and operating ex penses for the first season will Involve an outlay of about $30,000. The site se lected is a portion of the city levee, at the foot of West C street. The propo sition will be submitted to the City Coun cil at once, and it is highly probable that the use of the ground asked for will be given for a term of years. E. L. Canby, cashier of the First Na tional Bank, reported that encouraging progress was being made in the matter of complying with the proposition for the establishment of a condensed milk fac tory. The man back of the project is R. Beutlkoffer, of Portland, who repre sents a company of Swiss cheese and condensed milk makers. It is proposed to establish and operate a condensed milk factory, with a capacity, at the start, of 3000 pounds of milk daily, provided the citizens will furnish a suitable building free of cost to the company for the first five years. Mr. Beutlkoffer stated that the machinery for the plant is already here, and that the work of putting it In place will begin Immediately, upon a suit able site being obtained. Negotiations are being made for the Fore pork pack ing establishment, which has been idle for several years, and the prospects are that it will be secured. Another propo sition which Is being considered by the club Is the building of a wagon road from this place to the Copper Creek and Can yon Creek mines, in Skamania County. Messrs. Ward and Colfelt, representing, the Copper Creek Mining Company, ad dressed the club on the subject, stating that It is the Intention of that company to begin active development of their mines and that before any ores can be shipped out considerable road-building will have to be done. The citizens of Washougal have offered to assist in building a road to the Columbia at that place, but It Is desired by the Copper Creek Company, as well as by others engaged In developing mines in that vicinity, to get an outlet at Vancouver, and they ask the citizens here to assist In the construction of the road. The matter was referred to a committee, of which W. W. McCredle is chairman. Spring Meeting at Aqueduct. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. The Queen's County Jockey Club has announced a list of eight stakes for the Spring meeting at the Aqueduct track, all to close Mon day, February -IS.

ROBBED OF HIS MUSTACHE Hazing of a Turlc May Lead to Seri ous Trouble. Chicago Inter-Ocean. PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 25. It is possi ble that the loss of a mustache, which until yesterday adorned the lip of John Loutlflan, a student at the Medico Chirur gical College, may lead to the demand for an Investigation of college hazing by the Turkish Minister. Loutlflan is a Turk, and It Is said he was sent here by order of the Sultan. He is a great, big fellow, and In addition to fondling the slight growth of hair on his upper lip overmuch, he treated his classmates rather disdain fully. Yesterday they determined to reduce his pride, and about a dozen of them, attacked him in the reading-room. After a scuffle. in which chairs, lamps and tables were overturned, they overpowered him, laid him on his back, with arms and legs pin ioned, and while two men held his head, another skillfully removed his mustache with a scalpel. When Loutlflan was allowed to get up he shouted that he had neen disgraced; that his mustacne was worth $10 a hair; that he had been defiled and disgraced by being shaved by on infidel. One of his tormentors made out a bill. "One mus tache, five hairs on one side, six on the other, eleven hairs, at $10 each, $110." and gave It to the Turk, telling him to present it to Uncle Sam for collection. This enraged Loutlflan more, and he went with the trouble to Dean Egbert, and then to the Superintendent of police, lodging a complaint with each. Later he announced that he would acquaint the Turkish Minister with the fact, and ask that the hazers be punished for the In dignities to which he had been subjected. Dr. John V. Shoemaker, president of the college, said today that if the students who had participated In the affair were caught they would be severely punished, as the college had a large number of stu dents from foreign countries, and for the good of the college, if nothing else, they would be protected. Loutlflan said he did not mind the loss of his mustache because he valued It, but that his religion requires that It should not be removed. Because of the loss he said he would not be able to go to see his friends, and would even have to stay away from the home of his sister, who lives here. NOT PARENTAL -NEGLIGENCE Bunker Hill Father Shows Why Dis aster Was Not Foreseen. BUNKER HILL, Wash., Jan. 26. (To the Editor.) As the Impression has got abroad that the cause of the accident at Slide Creek Sunday afternoon, January, 13, wherein one of my children was killed and the other seriously Injured, was due to carelessness on my part for allowmg my children to play on the railroad track; and as I am informed that this impression is due to the agency of the newspapers, as the father of the children I wish to correct It. On Sunday afternoon, January 13, be tween 2 and 3 o'clock, my eldest daugh ter, Frida, accompanied by her sister, Net tle, left home to make a visit to Mrs. Dorsey's, in order to reach whose house they had to cross Slide Creek on the log ging railway, there being no other way to crocs the creek. Formerly there wae a footbridge across this creek, but upon tha construction of the railroad this bridge was removed and never has been replaced. The length of track they had to walk was about 150 feet, and owing to a curve Just above the creek they could not seo the hand-car coming, and the creek being In flood the noise of the water drowned the sound of its approach. We did not know the men were working at the camp, as my boy was up there in the morning", and arriving at home reported no one at work. It appears that the men went to work in a cut in th afternoon nd the handcar, heavily leaded with earth, with out brakes to control its motion, came down the steep grade with the velocity of a shot from a gfsn, unfortunately catching the children on the piece of track that crosses the creek. My eldest girl is 16 years old, and the younger one that died from the effects of her injuries was 9 years of age. JOHN HEILMANN. The Altcar in a Storm.

A general meeting of the foreign Envoys was held this evening, at which it was decided to hold a joint meeting of the Envoys and the Chinese plenipotentiaries next week. Nothing has been definitely arranged regarding the punishment, and opinions are much di vided, some favoring drastic measures like beheading the majority of those con sidered responsible, particularly Prince Tuan. who next to the Empress Dowager is considered the principal culprit, but others acting unlnstructed by their gov ernments advocate nominal punishment, like banishment. It is generally recog nized that the foreign Envoys, with the possible exception of M. de Giersf the Russian Minister, personally believe that leniency would be a great mistake, con sidering the interpretation the Chinese would put upon It. The Germans have sent expeditions con sisting of one battery of artillery and one regiment of Infantry to some point westward. They refuse all Information, and decline to allow correspondents to accompany tho column. It is reported that a massacre of many native Christians 70 miles from here re cently occurred.

VAN WYCK AND THE QUEEN Explains "Why He Did Not Half-Mast the Flag. New York Commercial Advertiser. Mayor Van Wyck, for the third timo during his administration, today broko his rule not to talk to newspaper men for publication, the subject being his refusal to lower the flag over the City Hall in respect for Queen Victoria's memory. Tho reporters sent to him a reojuest for an explanation, and he came out of his pri vate office and addressed thorn as follows: ' The flag was not ordered at half-mast over the City Hall yesterday In following out a precedent established by this and the former administration. The flag was not half-mast for President C&rnot, of the French Republic, the Empress of Austria, or when the Czar of Russia died, nor when King Humbert was murdered, as I under stand it. It Is corroborated in a state ment in the papers this morning that tho President had not ordered the flag at half mast at the White House when either one of these monarchs died. I followed the precedent established here." "The papers say that the flag on the Wnlte House was half raised for the Queen," said a reporter. "Then they have established a new precedent," answered the Mayor, and he continued: "You must bear in mind that people come "here all the time about such matters. When General Joubert, tihe commander of the Boer Army, died, al most every personal frlennd I had in New York came here and wanted me to fly the flag at half-mast, and If I had followed the dictates of my heart I would havo done It, because I thought England was murdering these people, and had robbed them of their land, and my personal feel ing was to do It, but I could not. There is a precedent established here not to fly the flag at half-mast when foreign mon archs die. I simply followed the rule In this case, and I think it is a very good one." OREGON SHOULD ACT. The Geological Survey Opportunity Ought Not Longer Be Neglected. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. For a number of years past the Geological Survey has been making examinations in various Western States of adaptable sites for res ervoirs for storing the water of different streams, with a view to converting It into Irrigating canals, and thus develop ing the various arid sections of the 8tate9 involved. These surveys are each year provided" for by Congress, and are mado in sections from which demands come, not only from the Congressional delega tions, but from the people direct. It Is a remarkable fact that up to the present time, Oregon is the only Western stato which has no applications on file for such, examinations. Washington has a few, but not enough to make any Impression, with the number presented from states like California, Colorado and Utah. Up to the present time, extensive surveys on these lines have been made In Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and California, and reser voirs have been constructed and thousands of acres of land thrown open to settle ment which were previously practically worthless. The people of Eastern Oregon ore losing on opportunity, and should hesitate no longer to interest themselves and send In requests for just such sur veys as have been made In other states where there has been considerable pres sure. There may not be any Immediate results from these requests, but If In tho future Congress should take some action looking to the construction of huge reser voirs, preference would naturally be given to states where survej-3 have been made, and where available sites have been lo catedv Moreover, should private Interests desire to go in and construct these reser voirs, they would need nothing more than the Government surveys in order to lo cate the most advantageous site In any particular locality. It costs the state and the people nothing to have the surveys made. Reasonable. Gladys But why do you en courage him If you don't love him? Beatrice Oh! Just to encourage htm. Puck.
