WILL DISREGARD ANCIENT CUSTOM
Queen to Be First English Monarch Not Buried
at Night and By Light of Torches.
Was Her Own Direction.

London, Jan. 39-The earl marshal,
the duke of Norfolk, was unable to
see King Edward yesterday in order to
obtain his majesty's final sanction for
the funeral arrangements. Nothing,
therefore, has been definitely settled,
except the programme already cabled.
Queen Victoria's explicit directions
as to her funeral were written in
1852, says Truth, and have not been
altered in any material respect. It
was her wish that the ceremonial
should copy that of Prince Albert's
burial so far as possible. The queen
will be the first English sovereign who
will not be buried at night and by
torchlight. ~.
/ The war office has invited the col
onial officers and soldiers in England
to take part in the funeral procession.
Minute guns will be fred from all
ships in, the Solent and at Cowes COM
mencing when the Alberta leaves Trim
ity pier. Each ship will cease firing
Immediately the end of the procession
passes her. When the procession has
passed the ..battleship Majestic the
forts and ships in Portsmouth harbor
will commence firing minute guns and
will continue to do SO until the AL
berta is alongside. No standards will
be displayed. Ensigns and union
jacks will be half masted The ad-
miral's flag will be fully hoisted. AS
the procession passes each ship its
crew will present arms and then rest
on reversed arms until the procession
has gone, the band meanwhile playing
funeral marches.
In London active preparations are
being made all along the route.
Houses are being decorated and seat.

THEIR TEUTONIC MALADY.

London, Jan. 29-The duke Of Corn
wall is suffering from an attack of
German measles and this, the court
circular announces, is the explanation
of his failure to visit Emperor William
on the anniversary of his birthday
and his absence from the ceremony of
investing Grown Prince Frederick
William with the insignia of the
Oorder of the Garter. Sir Francis L.
A. King, for many years surgeon to
the late queen, is attending him. Duke
Johann Albrecht Of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, was taken down with the
measles 10 days ago.

ing accommodation is being prepared.
A committee of ladies has permission
to hang wreaths along the line, n
being affixed to each lamp post, all
being three feet in dismeter and of
uniform pattern.
The parade of the navy will be the
finest part of the pageant. The Al
berta with the body will slowly steam
along a line of battleshps extending
eight miles. There will also be small
Ter vessels of the British navy and a
number of foreign battleships. AS
the Alberta with the body of Victoria
passes the battleships with guns boom
ing the scene will be unique.
The illness of the duke of York is
the occasion of extreme regret and of
many expressions Of popular sym
pathy, although no anxiety is felt re-
garding him, as his malady is not
dangerous.
King Edward received Lord Sails
bury and several other members of
the cabinet yesterday at Marlborough
house. He will hold a privy council
at st. James palace today to sanction
finally the arrangements for the fu-
neral and will then return to Osborne.
The wreath sent by the king of Port
ugal was so large that it could not be
placed in the chapel ardente. It is in
the form of a cushion OF violets por-
tending a cross surmounted by a crown
of lilies of the valley.
Ten thousand volunteers will be
employed along the line of route in
London, in addition to 20, 600 regulars.
Some Disappointment is likely to be
caused by the statement that no pho
! tographs will be allowed to be taken
of the procession from Osborne to
tCowes.

FLAG STAYS UP.

New York, Jan. 29-The municipal
council held a brief session today.
Prior to the meeting Councilman
Stewart M. Brice, son of the late Cal
vim S. Brice, told some of the mem
bers that he intended to offer a reso-
luton to the effect that as a mark of
respect the mayor be requested to
lower the flag over the council cham
Der to half mast until after the fu-
neral of her late majesty, Queen Vic
to,ia. Councilman Brice slowly arose
to read his resolution, but Councilman
Murray forestalled him by moving an
adjournment. This motion was no
ticed by President Guggenheimer and
the council voted in the affirmative,
despite the approximations of Brice.

REIGN OF TERROR
Two Kansas Cities Overrun by
Footpads and Other
Outlaws. e.

Kansas City, Jan. 29-Alfred L.
Hovey, a grocer in Kansas City, Kan,
who was brutally assaulted in his store
by a robber last night, died tonight at
Bethany hospital. The people of the
two Kansas Cities are thoroughly
aroused because of the many brutal
assaults of footpads during the past
two months, and the death of Hovey
will tend to make the police more
vigilant in their efforts to capture the
desperadoes.
Footpads are very vicious in their
assaults. Half a dozen women have
been struck down and seriously in
jured. Mrs. Mary Bolder, who was
brutally assaulted by footpads a month
ago, is now insane as a result of the
attack.

ACTION POSSESSING THREE
POINTS OF INTEREST.
new GEOLOGICAL THEORY
Expert Sues Hill and Great
Northern for Mines He
Discovered.

st. Paul, Jan. 29-Papers were filed
today in a suit that is of the utmost
moment, both as to the amount of
money claimed, the character Of the
defendant and the principle involved.
The suit is brought by H. W. Pearson
of Duluth against ]. J. Hill, and the
Great Northern railroad and the
amount claimed is a 'trife over
81, 500, 900 and the sum involved in
the proceedings is not less than $14,-
600, 600, which is alleged to be the
value of the property held by Mr..
Hill and his road and taken by them
after it's discovery by Pearson, under a
contract with Hill by which Pearson
was to have a share in the profit. -.
But it is as calculating a new geo.
logical theory and as overturning to a
large extent previous and present ac-
.cepted theories that the suit is of
chief Importance. Pearson has for
nearly 20 years made a study Of geo.
logical conditions and has evolved
what may be termed the foodwood
theory of the deposition of vegetation
sufficient to make coal beds. He has
tested this theory all ove the world
on known coal beds with satisfactory
results and has by it's use discovered
new coal areas. Among these are the
aStockett mines of Montana, which are
involved in the present suit, as we'll as
large areas on the Pacific coast in
Washington state.
The. complaint alleges that Pearson
discovered the Stockett mines by a
study of elevations and topography
and that he located the limits Of the
fields, which have since proved to be
correct. The Hill interests, he
charges, secured thousands Of acres
under his direction and are now min
ing there /, 900 tons daily. It is for a
share in the profits of this operation
that the suit is being brought.
While Pearson brings the suit in his
own name it is understood that associ-
:ated with him in his scientific investi-
cations are several leading financiers
of Duluth and a number Of leading
scientists of this country and England.
Pearson has kept his studies secret
for years until now and the facts have,
until today, been known to only his
associates and a few others.
The case will hinge largely on the
responsibility of the agents for the
Hill and Great Northern interests.
The geological theory under which
the discoveries were made will be
thoroughly tested by the case. It has
been submitted to the most eminent
%:geologists and mathematicians of the
world in recent years and in no case
has one been able successfully to con-
trovert the arguments and facts sup
porting it. In this feature the suit is
epoch marking.

cHER1sH1NG THEIR DREAM.
Poles Again Actively Plotting to Regain
Freedom.

-
Berlin, Jan. 29-Prussian authori-
ties i'll the Polish provinces of Prussia
have discovered evidence of the exist
ence of secret societies aiming at a
revolutionary rising. A number of
arrests have been n1ade in Posen. One
of the ring leaders, a medical student
named Vladislays Boloski, escaped
across the Australian frontier.
On Emperor Williams birthday an
indignation meeting was held by the
Poles in Posen to protest against the
recent postal practice of not deliver
ing mail matter not addressed in Ger
man. It. was largely attended and
speeches were delivered by Polish
members of the reichstag and diet,
one of whom said that Emperor Will
liam must drop the title of grand duke
of Posen if he will not recognize the
Polish language.

Denmark Is Taking Her Own Time
About Closing It Up.

New York, Nov. 19.-Dispatches from
Copenhagen stating that the sale of the
Danish West Indies has nearly been
concluded contain nothing that has not
been known in diplomatic circles for
several months, says the Tribune's Lon
don correspondent The sale is regarded
as a foregone conclusion, as the price
has been agreed upon; but the Danish
government is deliberate in it's methods
and scrupulous about providing every
possible safeguard to business interests
of the colonists, especially the sugar
planters of Santa Cruz. The American
minister at Copenhagen, himself of
Danish descent, has found it difficult on
this account to hasten negotiations.
