JOINT MEETING IF THE ENVOYS

Pekin, February 4.-Tomorrow will be held the first joint meeting between the foreign envoys and the Chinese plenipo- tentiaries. Only Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching have plenipotentiary rights. The other Chinese have merely the status of advisers.
 All the envoys have agreed to maintain absolute secrecy and will endeavor to i'm press the Chinese with the importance of similar reserve. but, as matter of fact, there are many Chinese who already know exactly the programme of tomorow's meet ing.
 All rumors and reports that large num- bers have been listed for punishment are without foundation as only twelve provin- cial authorities have been named These the Chinese will be requested to unish commensurately with their misdeeds. There is a private understanding that at least

KING EDWARD EXTENDS
 HIS HEARTFELT THANKS.

London, February 1.-The King has sent the following message to all British col- onies and dependencies:
 ''1'o My People Beyond the Seas: Tho countless messages of loyal sympathy that arrived from every part of my dominions over seas testify to the universal grief in which the whole empire now mourns the loss of my beloved mother
 Tn the welfare and prosperity of her subjects throughout Great Britain the Queen ever evinced a heartfelt interest. She saw with thankfulness the steady progress which, under the wide extension of self-government, they had made during her reign She warmly appreciated their unfaltering loyalty to her throne and per- son and was proud to think of those who had so nobly fught and died for the En- pire's cause in South Africa.
 "I have already declared that it will be my constant endeaver to follow the great example which has ben bequeathed to ms. In these endeavors l shall have confident trust in the devotion and sympathy of the people and of their several representative assemblies throughout my vast colonial to- mnion With such royal support, which I will, with the blessing of God, work for the promotion of the common welfare and security of our great Empire over which

Topeka Kan, February 4-Mrs. Carrie Nation this afternoon met the first defeat in her saloon smashing career. Later at the police station she laughingly declared that 1t was by no means her Waterloo and she would soon again be at her chosen work.
 With six women, each armed with bright new hatenets, she had started out to wreck a restaurant in East Sixth street, that also dispensed liquors. Before she could wield her hatchet, Mrs. Nation was disarmed, and a free tor all struggle between restaurant people and her wreckers was begun. The greatest excitement preveailed for a tme during which numerous eyes were blacken- ed and many noses made to bleed. Mrs Nation, herself unable to accomplish any thing, shouted orders to her followers 10 begin the onslaught, but the hatchet bri- gade had become stampeded and not an- other hand was raised against the obnox- ious restaurant. Mrs. Nation was led away to the station on a charge of disturb ing the peace and was followed by jeer- ing crowd
 Mrs Nation took her determination to rald the restaurant very suddenly. A group of women had gathered in the United Presbyterian Church to plan for raid to- morrow morning when Mrs Nation de- cided to go out imemdiately and show how she could "smash a joint"
 Surrounded by half a dozen women all armed with hatchets. Mrs. Nation led the way down Kansas avenue. She was fol- lowed by thousands of people who tramp ed behind in the deep snow, shouting like a mob. Mrs. Nation had no hatchet. She stopped at a store and bought one. The procession went on until the Unique restau- rant was reached
 Then the women, headed by Mrs. Nation, made rush for the door. Mrs Nation had warned the proprietors that she would raid the place if they did not stop selling liq uors. and they were prepared for her at tack. The hatchet was jerked from her hand by stout man and the women were forced back. A fierce fight followed be- tween the restaurant men and Mrs. Ma tion's defenders. For quarter of an hour

they struggled in the street. while the mob yelled encouragingly to Mrs. Nation
 Many personal encounters took place. Eyes were blacked and noses made to bleed. The police seemed powerless. Final ly in despair they arrested Mrs Nation and took her to jail.
 During all the fierce struggle that went on in the street while women and boys were knocked down and trampled on and the crowd was shouting at the top of its voice, Mrs. Nation never lost her pres ence of mind. The hatchet was jerked from her hands, but that did not disturb her. She appeared surprised, but smiled and called to the women: Ladies, you are armed. If you can't get to the place throw your hatchets through the windows
 But the women were too demoralizZed to obey her. They had not their presence of mind Mrs. Nation was led away between two police officers. She was not downcast at her lack of success and laughed when people spoke jestingly to her.
 At the police station Mrs. Nation was formally charged with disturbing the peace, and her name was entered on the docket. The police judge was at the sta tion Mrs. Nation refused to go to his room to see him regarding her offense, but in sisted that he come to her. which he did. Mrs. Nation was informed that she would have to report for trial at the police court tomorrow morning, and was then released on her own recognizance. She said she would be glad to do so, and then proceeded to hold an impromptu prayer meeting in the police station. She prayed that work that she had begun in Topeka might be abundantly prosperous. While she was praying drunken man was brought in by policeman. Mrs. Nation immediately went to the prisoner and informed him that she was his friend at all times, even though the policemen were not. She then delivered a scathing address to the members of the police force present. She said they would permit the joints to run in open violation of the law all the while and then would arrest men who were made drunk by the liquors sold there. Mrs Nation taunted the police calling them towards, afraid to rest any body but women and drunken men,
 Followed by the crowd, Mrs. Nation then went to the federal building where she in- quired for her mail. She then mounted the steps of the building and made an address to the crowd. She said she would smash all the joints of the city, and she would stay here long enough to accomplish this pur- pose, if 1t took months.

half of them will be executed or be re- quested to commit suicide, while the oth- CTS must be banished or imprisoned.
 The real subject liable to cause delay is the punishment of the officials of Pekin and the Province of Chilli, regarding which the envoys have not yet reached an agree ment. There is little doubt that the Chi nese plenipotentiaries will agree, so far as the provincials are concerned, although there may possibly be a few days delay while the pDenipotentiariaes are comforting with the court.
 Without doubt Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching have been ordered to protest to the uttermost against the execution of Prince Yuan or any prince of the blood royal. This is source of disagreement among the voys, many of whom feel that if Prince Yuan goes unpunished all others ought to go free
 The Chinese plenipotentiarles profess to be unable to understand how Prince Yuan can be punished while his son is the heir apparent

Fascinating TO the imagination is this chronicle
of an old English manor house-a chronicle
written with painstaking care and loving en-
thusiasm. 1t is of her home that Lady
Russell writes. and for many years she has been
engaged in collecting the rich material present
ed here. Accompanying her text are numerous
reproductions of historical portraits of uncom-
mon interest.
Swallowfield is one of the oldest manors in
England belonging to the category of those
Berkshire estates which. Master Fuller tells
u.s. 'are very skttish. and often east their own
ers." From the time of Edward the COnfessor
it has been skittsh in this wise. providing there
by varied and entertaining history. William
