OFFERED IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Jan. 2f.-Chicagoans demon
strated their interest in the dying
queen by gathering Wherever they
could read the bulletins that came
from London at half hourly intervals.
Around the newspaper Offices there
were groups all day reading copies of
the latest dispatches from Osborne. In
the newspaper offices telephones were
kept busy by those who were too far
from the center of the city to obtain
their information otherwise.
BY arrangements with the newspa-
pers or press bureaus most of the i'm
portant clubs were kept informed on
the progress of her majesty's illness.
The messages were posted or read
aloud to the members assembled in the
smoking room. In many of the
churches the pastors spoke feelingly of
the dying queens long and honorable
reign. while from nearly every pulpit
was voiced a prayer for her restoration
to health.
In the rotunda of the down town no

Queen NictOria's illness the personal
note dominates the political. The
cars subjects freely admit that her
majesty has been one of the principal
bulwarks of peace. The ROssia and
NovOsti Alone touch the political chord.
The ROssia says:
England's prestige is largely due to
the queen. To spare Queen Victoria
much has been forgiven her ministers.
With her viii depart Britain's good
genius"
The NOVOsti says.
England is disconnected with the
situation and the dissatisfaction Will

Queen Victoria dies. Her successor
VIII probably entertain different views
on many questions. He is credited
with strong French sympathies- The
power of an English sovereign is
greater than commonly stated; there

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE jury il
the case of Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine
charged with the murder of James
Seymour Ayres, Jr., in the Kenmore
hotel in this city May 13 last evening
returned verdict of not guilty ard
the defendant was set at liberty Such
a conclusion of the trial was generally
expected, the popular impression here
being from evidence submitted that
the prosecution failed to prove It's
case against Mrs. Bonnie. The jury
was out less than five hours and the
attendance in the court room when the
jury returned was limited to members
of the bar, representatives Of the
press and employees of the court
There was some little attempt at a
demonstration of approval, but this
was quickly suppressed by Judge 1t
fderson, who had previously warned
the spectators against manifestations
of any character. Mrs. BONNIE was in
court at the time and with her were
her husband, her two brothers and
several relatives, all of whom have
shown sympathy for her by constant
attendance during the long trial. The
jury discharged, Mrs. Bonnie and
friends left the court house by the
back door.
The trial of Mrs. BONNIE was in
progress almost four weeks and at
tracted more attention than any trial
before the local courts in years. Ex-
traordinary interest was caused at the
time young Ayres was killed because
of the mystery surrounding the case,
until the statement made by Mrs
BONNIE of her part in the tragedy while
the coroner's inquest was in session.
She said she was the only person in
the room when Ayres was shot, and
that he was killed in a struggle with
her over the possession of a revolver
with which he was trying to frighten
her into compliance with his demands.
Mrs. BONNIE had been in Jail since the
tragedy. She did not go on the wit
ness stand during the trial
