crowd cheering:
Whm Mrs. Nation left Enterprise last
night a big crowd followed her to the
depot, hooting and throwing eggs at
her. On the train en route- from En
terprise lo Hope, Mis. Nation talked
enthusiastically to a reporter. A crowd
of W C. T. 17. women, among them
Mis. Hoffman, the local worker who
lock part In Wednesday's raid and yes
examined yesterday by the duly ap
pointed authorities. None of Its con
tent were made public or the amount
of her private fortune. It Is generally
suppose! that this preliminary Inspec
tion wa made In order to follow exact
ly her majesty's, directions In regard
to l.rr funeral. It Is known that the
IU'--n made a will early In her reign,
whlcn was repeatedly altered and add
ed to as children and grandchildren
were born and as estates rapidly ad
vanced in value. This will was made
in ISSti when her majesty decided to
have an entirely new document drawn,
and with great personal care this wag
accomplished.
Those in a position to make any sort
of a guess as M the provisions of the
queen's will declare that the Princess
Uc-atrice. widow of prince Henry of
Eattenbiirg, will be the principal bene
ficiary. She Is the governor of the Isle
of Wight and will probably inherit Os
borne House and the whole estate sur
rounding It. Then the Duke of Con
naught and his sons, who have been
great favorites with Victoria, will re
ceive a large portion of the fortune.
The duke will probably become the'
owner of Ealmoral and the Scottish
property.
The grandchildren who are expected
to receive the largest bequests are the
two children of Victoria's youngest son,
the former Duke of Albany.
The queen's second daughter, Prin
cess Christian of Holsteln, Is not rich
and it is probable that she and her four
children will be legally provided for.
Ec'ward VII., who will be amply pro
vided for b the country, and the Duke
of York who comes Into the duchy of
Cornwall, will probabfy not be sharers
In the late queen's private fortune.
Estimates made by the best informed
persons in the financial field fix the
value of Queen Victoria's private estate
at something between fifty and sixty
millions of dollars. Parliament upon
her ac.-esfcion granted her $1,935,000 a
year. This sum. It w as estimated, would
enable htr to maintain the royal es
tablishment and leave the sovereign
$41)0,000 for private money or personal
expenses
Since the death of Albert, the prince
consort, it is asserted, her majesty has
savd J-ioO.OoO a year of that sum. This
money, together with its increment, has
been Invested under the best advice
that London, the financial center of
the world, could supply. Added to it,

QUEEN VICTIM OF THE WAR.
LONDON, Jan. 25. At the request of
a representative of the Associated Press,
Mrs. George Cornwall West has writ
ten the following.
"Whei. Colonel Towne recently went
to Windsor to receive the Victorian
cross fcr a valorous act by which he
lost his eyesight, those present have
since told me that as he advanced, led
by his wife toward the queen, tears
poured down her aged cheeks, and It
was in a broken voice that she spoke
to him. Few at 81 could forget their
Jim and falling eyes for the blind ones
of others.
"The -luetti may be counted on as
one of the victims of the war. Every
defeat. eviy unsuccessful skirmish,
the iocs or wounding of a brave sol
dier was personal to her. When I had
Wichita and Enterprise, always meeting I yea'"'
the sallies of the crowd that hoottd
or pelted with stones, with prayer or
an exhortation on temperance.
"Are you not afraid?" the reporter
asked.
'No. sir, not a bit," ahe snapped, de
fiantly "I'm doing God's work."
Her coolness seemed more remarkable
because of the fact that she had been
given warning that a mob awaited her
arrival at Hope.
"You'll surely meet with serious mis
hap, perhapa be killed, If you keep tills
up." continued the reporter.
'1 know it; I know how It will end,
but when God la rtady fop me to die
I am ready to go. I do not want to
"'V. hat I had expected to see was a
great gilded chamber and I thought the
bed might be more like a throne than
a be.t, with a lot of candles around
and bishops praying. I was only there
for a few minutes and all the time I
was looking at the form on the bed.
"I crept up to th'? bed and looked
at the face. My thought was 'How
calm and happy' she was looking, like
a person In a beautiful sleep. The face
had ov?r it a soft thin material, but
you oould look through and could see

"At the bottom of the bed there were
lowers ard some wreaths and some
loose ones.
"Hit hands were folded across one
another and higher up there was a
cross, I suppose of gold. Yes, I re
member the rings had not been taken
off the fingers."
Another eye witness said:
"It was like the figure of a child,
not a woman, so small and faded was
It. I frequently saw the queen here,
year after year, and this season she
seemed to shrink away. But I was not
prepared for the transformation of the
last few days of severe illness and the
change death had made.
"The face was almost emaciated and
had the pallor one expects to find. But
the whole form semed tiny.
"No one was allowed to stop except
to kneel, but the Impression left was
one of sublime peace and beauty and
of the vanity of human greatness.
"A veiled figure was kneeling by the
bed on the opposite side from 'where
I passed. It was Princess Beatrice,
who could not be torn away from the
room."

TRIBUTE FROM AMERICA.
BOSTON. Jan. 25.-Presldent Clarke
and John Willis E. Baer. of the world's
(Continued on Page Four.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The presi
dent today transmitted to the senate ft
report from ;he secretary of war en
closing a report of the Taft Philippine
commission. The president says:
"I earnestly recommend legislation
under which the government of the Isl
ands may have authority to assist in
thrlr peaceful, industrial development
in the directions indicated by the sec
retary of war."
Secretary Root's letter of transmit
tal, dated January 24, address?d to tho
president, says:
"A personal letter received by me
from Judge Taft, dated December 11,
1900, says:
" 'Since writing you, about 30,009 In
surgents In Ilo Cos Norte have sur
rendered and 10.000 persons In 1'a.nay
have taken the oath of allegiance ai.d
eighteen native priests have sworn al
legiance to the United States. I deem
this action as of great importance.
Since the election there has ben a
great falling off in the activity of tho
insurgents and in aggressiveness.' '
The commission asks for the passage
of the Spooner bill by congress. Ap
pendent to the secretary's report Is a
cablegram concerning houses of pros
titution. Secretary Root Inquired ot
Judge Taft if houses of prostitution
are licensed, protected or in any way
encouraged by the authorities.
Taft answered no, but stated that la
November. 198, the spread , of venereal
diseases among the soldiers led the mil
itary authorities, in order to maintain
the effectiveness of the army, to sub
ject prostitutes to a certified examina
tion and confinement, if diseased, in the
hospital.
The system has greatly reduced the
percentage of disease from this cause,
a result better than futile attempts at
total suppression in an Oriental city cf
300,000.
The commission says:
"The great majority of the people
long for peace and are entirely willing
to accept the establishment of a gov
ernment under the supremacy of the
United States. They are, however, re
strained by fear. Anyone suspected of
giving information to the American '
concerning the Insurgents Is Immediate
ly marked for assassination. The rami
fications of the conspiracy are so wide
that it has effected the terrorism ot the
entire people. It is the Mafia on a
verv laree scale."
The commission says that evidence as
to the immorality of the friars Is to
strong that it seems to establish clear
ly that there were enough Instances la
each province to give considerable
ground for the general report. It did
not shock the common people to see
their curate establish Illegitimate rela
tions with a woman and have children
by her. The woman did not lose caste
on that account, but often prided her
self on her relation to the chief au
thority In the village.
