QUEEN VICTORIA ILL.
She May Be Unable to Attend
Prince Victor's Funeral.
IRELANDs UEFEIGNED SYMPATHY.


gIishmen and Will Aid the Cause
ofHome Rule-The Broken Heart ed
Fiancee Of the Dead Heir Pre-
sumptive.
LONDON. Jan. 1G.-Rumor has it that
Queen Victoria is much more seriously
i'll than anybody in authority is willing
to admit. The state of the queens
health is said to be such as to have pre-
vented her, in spite of her earnest desire
to be there, from being present at the
death of the Duke of Clarence and
Avondale, and it is added that it is
probable that the queen will not be able
to be present at the funeral of the late
heir presumptive.
1t may be added that there is no exag-
geration in the report that the Princess
of Wales is utterly crushed by the blow
which has fallen upon her by the death
of her first born. DR.. Laking is in con-
slant attendance upon the princess. AS
for Princess May, she is almost broken
hearted and for hours today she prayed
on her knees beside the dead body of her
betrothed. Words of sympathy with
the young widowed bride are heard ON
all sides in England, Scotland and Ire
land, and many tear has been shed for
poor Princess May.
Ireland's Sympathy.
Here it should be mentioned that the
warm heartedness of the Irish people at
this crisis in English history for a
change in the line of succession may
justly be termed crisis has done more
for the cause of home rule for Ireland
than all the parliamentary agitation Of
the last ten years. Ireland, III the hour
OF sorrow, has risen to the occasion and
has Joined hands in sympathy with Eng
land in mourning for the dead
On all sides here are heard words of
gratitude to the Irish for having SO
nobly buried the past, at least for the
present, and for having Joined, in The
heartlest manner possible, i'll the eX-
preston OF coincidence uttered at the
death of the heir to the throne of
England. The Irish newspapers, as d
rule, came out in mourning, and with
few exceptions they expressed loyal,
hearty sympathy with the loss sustained
by the royal family of England. This
has decidedly touched the hearts of her
ii"JOSoy ouDJOCCo VII ILLS Sluc VI Vic
channel, and there is no doubt that 1t
will win much additional support in
England for the measure Ireland has ut
heart.
No Date Set for the Funeral
The queen has not yet decided upon
the date of the funeral, but it will prob
ably be on Thursday next. Cabinet
communications with the Prince of
Wales and the queen on the plan Of in
terment have ELECTED an expression of
feeling from the Prince of Wales against
any ceremonial pomp.
The Prince of Wales and family will
not appear in public life for a year to
come. The Princess of Wales, after the
funeral, is going to some secluded spot
in the south of Europe with her daughter.
Both are in delicate health and their
condition is now the source Of increased
anxiety to the family. The death of the
duke OF Clarence has recalled the fact
that he was born prematurely and that
he always lacked the robustness of Prince
George

The Bodies OF the Dead Charred
Beyond Recognitinn-Causc by a
Broken Rail.
BRArNERD, MINI, Jan. 16.--A fright
full railroad accident occurred on the
Northern Pacific road, seven miles east
of Brainerd, to the second section of No.
8, with the Andrew Opera company on
board, Near Jonesville the train struck
a broken rail, the engine and baggage
car passing over in safety, but the sleep
ing car was derailed and ran some 800
feet on the ties, when it toppled over,
broke loose from the train and went
down an embankment some five feet
high, lying on its side.
In a minute all was confusion, the
awakened inmates realizing their peril.
The Pullman conductor, Herbert G..
Scott, was one of the first to get outside,
and when ne did no fire was visible, but
as soon as the windows were broken to
iberate those inside flames shot out, and
in a very short time the car was en-
veloped. The trainmen soon liberated
those who were unable to extricate them
selves, but none were able to save their
clothes, and the night being the coolest
OF the season-the thermometer reaching
As dogs. below zero-the suffering was
terrible.
In a Fiery Furnace.
At this time it was discovered that
Mrs. Ed Andrews and Lille Was were
missing, but no human effort could
render them assistance, as the car was
in mass OF flames.
Miss Douglass, when she was brought
from the car, was literally enveloped in
flames, her hair being on fire. The
bodies OF the two women burned to
death were charred beyond all recogni-
tlon, the heads, legs and arms being en-
tirely gone. Mr.. Andrews rescued his
little child and supposed his wife was
safe until count was made.
The members Of the company lost all
they possessed except stage clothes, in
including musical instrument, watches
and money.
The Killed and Injured.
A list of the dead and injured as far as
obtainable is as follows:
Mrs. Ed. Andrews (known as Miss
