Troops Have Not Yet Arrived at
Scene of the Disturbances.
MUsCoGEE, L T., Jan. 25.-The Greek
uprising continues dangerous, the troops
having as yet failed to arrive United
States Marshal Bennett has captured
the 17-year- old son of Chief Snake aud
has notified the latter that the boy
would be held as hostage until the In.
dians surrendered. They so far have re-.
fused, and today held two councils, one
at Bristow and one at Rush Hill.
The one at Bristow stated that the
threatened attack on that town had not
yet begun, but the citizens are continu.
ing to arm themselves and prepare for
an emergency. Marshal Bennett ex.
presses fear of bloodshed if the troops
ordered from Fort Reno do not arrive
soon.
Marshal Bennett returned from Eu-
faula today, after visit with five depu.
ties to the home of Chief Snake. When
he first entered Snakes house but three
people were there. In less than 20 min
utes 80 light horsemen of the Indians of
Snakes band gathered. They were all
heavily armed. but offered 40 harm to
the officers. The Indians had been pick.
eted about evidently to protect their
chief or to give warning of an attack.
Snake was not to be found, and Bennett
left word for him to come TO Musl1ogee
or Eufaula, for a conference.

CowEs, Isle of Wight, Jan. 25.-The
body of Queen Victoria was removed to
Chappelle Ardente, in the diningroom,
this morning by party of bluejackets
from the royal yacht.
The only persons who will be admit

the island. The Marquis of Lansdowne,
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
Field Marshal Earl Roberts, commander
in-ch1ef Of the forces, and William St
John Broderick, secretary of state for

there will be no public lying i'll state.
The arrangements for the funeral are
gradually evolving. The remains of the
queen will be taken to Portsmouth on
board the royal yacht Alberta and will
remain on the boat Friday night, Feb /.
The Grand Duke of Baden has given

VICTORIA,S WEALTH
UP IN THE MILLIONS
Speculation as to the Pr0vis-
ions of Her Will.
CHILDREN PROVIDED FOR

King Edward Will Not Share In His
Mothers Fortue, as He Is Literally
Taken Care of by the Laws of the
Country.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-A World dis.
patch from Oowes says:
Queen Victoria's will was opened and
examined yesterday by the duly consti-
tuted authorities. Nothing will ever
be made public officially as to the
| amount of her fortune. 1t Is generally
supposed that this preliminary inspeo-
! tion was made in order to follow exactly
her majesty's directions in regard to
her funeral. 1t is known that the queen
made will early in her reign, which
was repeatedly altered and added to as
children and grandchildren were born
and as her estates rapidly advanced in
value. This proceeded until 1895, when
her majesty decided to have an entirely
new document drawn, and with great
personal care this was accomplished.
Provisions of VIII.
Those in position to make any sort
of guess as to the provisions of the
will declare that the Princess Beatrice,
widow of Prince Henry of Battenburg,
will be the principal beneficiary. She
is the governor of the Isle of Wight and
will probably inherit Osborne House
and the whole estate surrounding it.
Then the Duke of Connaught and his
sons, who have been great favorites
with Queen Victoria, will receive a
large portion of the fortune. The duke
will probably become the owner of Bal
moral and the Scottish property.
The queens second daughter. Princess
Christian of Schleswig -Holstein, is not
rich, and it Is expected she and her four
children will be literally provided for.
Edward VII, who will be amply pro-
vided for by the country, and the Duke
of Y orH, who comes into the duchy of
Cornwall aud will be the Prince of
Wales, probably will not be sharers in
the late queens private fortunes.
The Late Queens Wealth.
Estimates made by the best informed
persons in the financial field fix the
value of Queen Victoria's private estate
at something between $50, 1000. 900 and
$50, 100000 Parliament on her acces-
sion granted her 81, ,925, 900. That sum,
it was estimated, would maintain the
royal establishment and leave the SOW
ereign $500, 900 for pocket money or per-
sonal expenses. Since the deathof AL
bert, the prince consort, it is asserted
her majesty has saved $3.50, 900 year of
that sum. This money. together with
its increment, has been invested under
the best advice that London, the finan-
cial center of the world, could supply
