ARRANGE EMENTS FOR
 QUEENS FUNERAL
Of All the Ceremonies the Naval Will be the Finest
 Pageant

London, January 30.-In London active preparations are being made all along the route for the Queens funeral procession. Houses are being draped and seating &C., commodations are being provided com mittee of ladies have obtained permission to hang wreaths of evergreen along the line, one to be affixed to each lamp post, and all being three feet in diameter and of uniform pattern.
 Of all the ceremonies no doubt the naval will be the finest pageant. The Alberta with the body, will slowly steam along a line of battleships. Facing these giants of the British navy will be smaller vessels and numerous foreign battlehips. Whatever the weather may be, the spectacle of the remains of Victoria traversing line of war ships-the guns all booming-will be unique
 About $500 troops will be engaged in the procession from Osborne to Cowes lO,0W volunteers will be employed along the line of route in London in addition to 20,00( regulars Some disappointment is likely tc be caused by the statement that no photo graphs will be allowed to be taken by the procession from Osborne to Cowes. The following is the inscription on the coffin of Queen Victoria:

 Sir Edward Bradford, the energetic ones armed commissioner of police of the me- tropolis has devised elaborate plans to deal with the crush expected on Saturday, { but to protect the king1y and princely y guests precautions have been taken which are illustrated by the fact that Sir Edward Bradford s residence Is surrounded day and night by constables in plain clothing and detectives and that no person Is allowed to approach until his card has been passed in. These precautions are applied in the case of all royal personages and If the principal officers of the crown.
 Scotland Yard maintains the most inti- mate and secret affiliations with every de- tective agency in the world, and its de. vices for tracing continental suspects arc now being operated under Chief Inspector Frank Freest who Is reputed to have q wider acquaintance with the rogues of the world than any other police chief In Flu. rope.
 Malatesta and other anarchists residing in London assert that there is not the slightest possibility of violence, because England is "an asylum for the persecuted of the continent"
 At Cowes detectives are stationed In large numbers on both sides of the Medina river inquiring to the antecedents of strangers and watching all who approach the royal personages.

 About one-third of these bills were gen eral bflls'' and four of them sought to fix the punishment in this State for the crime of Kidnapping. The present statute fixing such punishment in this State merely pro- vides for the punishment of persons unlaw- fully detaing another. The bills presented today seek to make the offence of kidnap- ing, or detainng a person for the extor- tion of money, a capital offence. Messrs. Powell of Bullock, Goldsmith of Lowndes, Bulger of Tallapoosa and Whitson of Ta- naping bills.

 The four prisoners were promptly re- moved from the court room.
 The Prisoners Statement. McAllister. Death, Campbell and Kerr made the following statement to the public this afternoon:
 We are resigned to our fate and propose to face the future with manly hearts, dark as 1t is We have felt heretofore that 1t was useless to say anything to relieve our situation the storm of public indigna- ton was such that anything said by us would have been misinterpreted.
 We could say many things that would tend to abate the public indignation. But we propose to bear our punishment in sol ence.
 ''We propose to earn the three days a month which the law remits for good be- havior in state prison and we hope and pray that the community will suspend final judg- ment until, by good conduct and proper lives, we shall earn their commendation. We are content to suffer ourselves, but we keenly feel the awful sorrow brought upon our families and friends who have stood so nobly by us through it all.
 we feel that we have been victims to great extent of the unreasoning outside opinion, which was based upon the wild and in6ammatory reports printed in the metro- politan papers to satisfy morbid taste. We are thankful to the counsel in our cases who made every sacrifice, at the peril of their regulations and even of their lives, and stood nobly by us.
