A. 3CorrisoB,.IleT. Alexander Blackburn and Judge George' H. Williams Make Estimates of Her Worth as Woman, and Queen. Portland paid Its tribute of loving re membrance of the late Queen Victoria by on Jmpressive and grand memorial serv ice, yesterday afternoon, at the Armory. About 4500 people were inside the build ing, and many were turned away for lack of room. ' t British and American flags were twined ioffelher, and the central thought, of,, the cosmopolitan audience was that In mourn ing the death of Victoria the Good they fevered a woman who is Queen In the' hearts of the English-speaking race. "God Save the King" was sung with a swing1 and a vigor that was surprising, and ap propriately enough the theme changed to the verse of the American National hymn commencing "My County, TIs of Thee." The volume of over 4000 voices joining in one common melody was like an ocean breaking on a rocky shore. No applause followed the delivery of any of the ad dresses, and the attitude of the audience was that of quiet and absorbed attention. Many women were there, mostly dressed in somber colors, and altogether if was one of the finest and most representative audience that Portland has produced. The hall was tastefuly draped in black and purple the mourning colors of the Brit ish royal family. At first, when the doors were opened about two hours before the service began, the atmosphere was chilly. Gradually, the audience began to spread over the sawdust-covered tio'br, and at :3Q, when, the Armory was thrown open lo the general public, the seatfe were not long unoccupied. Then the Portland Symphony Orchestra began a grand, melo dious march from "Tannhauser," just as the sunlight began to stream through the windows. The solemn, cathedral-like themp of Handel's "Largo" followed. By this time It was 3 o'clock, and every seat in the big building was fllled, and peo-, pie were standing in the passage-way in the galleries- A perfect sea of faces turned toward the platform, at Rev. Dr. A. A. Morrison, the musical director, started the orchestra playing the proces sional hymn, "Peace, perfect Peace, in This Dark World of Sin," and suddenly far away at the other end of the building, stole the clear, sweet voices of the boy choristers. Down the aisle they came, In surplice and cassock, preceded by a cross- bearer, and as If moved by one impulse, theaudlence arose, composed as lt was of different denominations of religious faith. Tlie surpliced choristers numbered about SO in all, 'and'ilent a picturesque effect to the spectaclQTlye clergymen of the Prot estant EplscopaTChurch brought up the rear of the procession. Then -followed the beautiful, melodious Episcopal church sen Ice, the prayers be- JtMarrnnprt from hnTh Vio nKnusfClinnVo yM iz "7.W. :-,: .-,.: . . . r?r -"- ox me -ii urea oi .cngiana ana ine irot e&tant Episcopal Church in America. Cho- rt ral responses, were used, and the musical TMtch wa true and even. Psalms xxxix and xc wre said alternately by the cler gymen ana, audience, and the next mu sical number was Gounod's sanctus, "Holy, Holy, Holy," with tenor solo and chorus. The creed was repeated as if by one voice, and after the orchestra had played -the j)ead March from Handel's, oratorio, "Saul," the clergymen intoned' a prayer for the President of the United States, and this new prayer for -King. Edward VII: "O Lord, our heavenly Father, high and mighty King of kings. Lord of lords, the only Ruler of Princes, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers- upon earth; most heartily we beseech thee with thy favor to -behold His Most Gracious Majesty King Edward VII: and so replen ish him with the grace of thy Holy Spirit, that he may always incline to thy will and walk in, thy way; endue him plente ously with heavenly gifts: grant him in health, wealth and peace long to live; and finally', .after this life, to attain everlast ing joy and felicity, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." Three clergymen. assEsted Rev. Dr. Mor rison in the ritual Rev. H. W. L. O'Rorke, Rev. George B. Van Waters and Rev. John E. Simpson. The familiar, strangely pathetic tune sung to Faber's famous hymn floated softly from the iol.ns in the orchestras O Paradise, O Paradise Who doth not crae for rest? Who irould not seek the happy land Where they that loved are bleat? Where lojal hearts and true Stand e er Jn the light, AH rapture, through and through, In God's moat hol sight? The first verse was sung pianissimo, and then the inelody was taken up utrongly by the brass Instruments. The result was that, the audience sang the air, jn unison, the whole creating a grand musical finale, in which emotion was the dominant feature. DR. MORRISON'S ADDRESS. -"The World Can Now Claim Victoria - As Its Own." - i Rev. j,tDr. A. A,. Morrison spoke as follows: ""We have assembled this after noon, in honor of the deceased Queen of a sister nation to mingle our prayers and hymns to God with the mighty hoat -who, by common impulse, feel con strained reverently to." express their ap preciation of her noBle reign and splen did character.

'When, In the march of "age3, war riors, diplomats.

"The services you will have on this memorial occasion, as well as those which will be used when her body is to be consigned to Its earthly resting place, Will be those of the Book of Common Player common to Prince and peasant and I know no better thought for you to emphasize at such a time than this yery thought that these earthly honors and distinctions that men and women now so covet and -toll and strive for, are all as short-lived as the fading flow ers of nature, and that Queens and courtiers, the servant and the slave, go down to the grave in one common rank, .to meet the honors and rewards, tho glory or the shame of the future life, according to the deeds done in the body, whether in the palace of tlie King, or the cot of the beggar. "It is a matter of special interest to me to know that the name of this gpod Queen will be associated with the hlo tcry and work of the Good Samarjtatf Hospital of this city, while time laats; through the wise forethought and lib erality of her subjects and countrymen resident here, in providing: for the en dowment of the Queen Victoria jubilee bed and the Queen Victoria diamond jubilee bed. These, with the other en dowment of the British Consulate bed, from the samej liberal source, associate the name of our British friends with an institution that has a purpose and end in entire harmony with the life of beneficence of their gracious- Queen, whose memory they now desire to honor. "I hope that this service will 'help to inspire all those who share in lt with a deeper devotion to those Christian -principles which were the foundation. of this good Queen's character, 'and the grace and beauty of her life."

Today these two nations meet at one grave and are more one than any race that walks the earth. In a speech delivered at Manchester, England, In 1S63, Henry Ward Beecher said: "There Is not-reignlng on the globe a sovereign who coihmarids ourxslmple, unpretentious and unaffected "respect as does your own beloved Queen."

Tlje aged prelate read from a desk in side, the communion rail and could not b heard except by those sitting very near him.. He said, in part: "All our thoughts today are about the great and gracious personality whom we have lost. The end of her long reign marked an epoch which gave rise to gratitude, sorrow and hope, to gracious memories and great anticipations. The yjears brought some pressure at the helm and some violence of waes, but never once was there any loss of goverance, never any alienation of the hearts of her people All are Dleased that the new Kin? hn determined to call himself af ten the great- est of his ancestors, the pure and clean. He has" greatly grown, and all along the lines otjiis policy we now seek a seven fold blessing from the seventh Edward." The benediction was pronounced by the Bishop of Winchester.

Chltto Har jo, or "Crazy Snake," the leader of the warring Creek Indians, and 17 of tho minor leaders of that tribe, have been landed In the federal jail here, where ithey-wili be. held pending Jtrialcfor trea son. The Indians were brought here from teenrieta under escort of Troop A, Eighth Cavalry, and United States Marshal Ben nett and his posse. It Is stated that certain attorneys, who. It is asserted here, misled the Indians may be prosecuted. Marshal Bennett states that while most of the Indians are In hiding, some are still trying to hold meetings. A posse will be sent tomorrow to arrest Chief Lotah Mekko, tho real chief of the Creeks. When placed In prison here, Harjo and his followers were searched, fumigated, their shackles removed and all placed In a large cell. A newspaper correspondent, with the assistance of an interpreter, had an interview with Crazy Snake, who said that he saw no reason for arrest and felt confident when the Indians were given a trial before the Great White Fathers' court, that they would be released. Ha said they were acting In good faith and had papers from Washington that gave them the right to establish their old gov ernment. Aa. to all tho talk of killing whites he said Itwas never their Intention, and they expected only to treat and act with their own people, and in so doing expected finally; to get all whites out. He also said that the "Great Spirit" would see that they got justice, even "though their white fathers in Washington, and the oil syndi cates, were trying to rob them of their once happy hunting brounds."
