KERR WILL TELL
 0F THE MURDER Claims to Have Protested Against the Poisoning of Jennie
 BoSScheiter

New York, January H. - No light has been thrown upon the case of George J. Kerr, indicted as one of the four murderers of Jennie Bosscheiter in Paterson, N J.
 The reasons for giving Kerr a separate trial also have been made public Judge Dickson, at the time he granted Kerr the privilege of being tried separately, said he would file his reasons later, and he has now made them known.
 Judge Dickson says the object or secrecy was to prevent facts from reaching the jurors in the trial of the other three men that might possibly have unduly influenced their minds. It now appears that Kerr ln- tends to tell all about the tragedy on the night of October IS; that he will claim that he was not present at the time the deadly drug was administered to Jennie Bos- scheiter, and that he not only did not take part in the assault, but on the other hand protested against it. Kerr expects to prove this by the confession of Campbell and Death.
 Prosecutor Finley will insist that Kerr had guilty knowledge of all that took place on that night, and that he aided and abet- ted In the poisoning.

THREE LIVES LOST
 IN A HOTEL FIRE Explosion Sent Flames to Every Part of the Building, Cut
 ting Off Escape

Kewanee H., January H.-Fire early morning destroyed the Commercial House and caused the death of three men. They are:

 Marion Jacobs of Chicago jumped from a third story window; hurt internally.
 An explosion in the kitchen sent the flames into every corner of the house and cut off escape by means of the stairs.

SPECIAL TRAIN READY TO
 CARRY CABINET TO OSBORNE

London, January 22.-(3:30 a. m.-A spe- cial train is held in readiness to convey the members of the cabinet to Osborne at any moment. Thus far it has not been required Up to a. m. no further bulletins had been received in London since the one issued at midnight.
 Emperor William is spending the night at Osborne where the accommodations are so severely taxed that the Battenberg chill dren slept Monday night at Lord Gort's residence, East Cowes castle, and the royal yacht at Cowes are being fitted up for the accommodation of visitors.
 The Queens illness was so sudden and in the first onset, was expected to be 30 brief, that no arrangements were made for the posting and circulation of bulletins. A movement is on foot to have them posted in all postoffices throughout the United Kingdom. At present the papers are the only source of information.
 Up to a late hour last evening crowds were gathered in the vicinity of Bucking ham palace and Marlborough House and there was a constant stream of persons anxious to enter their names in the visi- tors books.
 On all sides it is a tale of public and pri- VdIe engagements dflu luucllOHS pOSlpOueu and a settled gloom rests over all classes of society. The newspaper editorials re- fleet this feeling and the suspense the country is enduring together with the grat- ifcation and consolation derived from the sympathy expressed from all sides. Bsh- op Potter's allusion to the Queen in his ad- dress Sunday evening in New York city to students and collegemen is everywhere commented upon with keen satisfaction. The Daily News says:
 Bishop Potter compared Her Majestoy to Washington. No American could go fur ther than that"
 The Daily Telegraph says: "It seems but brief interval since England was the center of almost universal hostility. To- day all International politics are hushed and stilled as they never were before by any other single event in the annals of the world.'
 The Chronicle observes 'In the United States the nation and the government dis play once again the irrepre ssible sentiment of a cognate people. The strain of common flood which flows in British and American veins has been rarely more manifest or warmly ercognized."
 This evidence of universal sympathy to England in her hour of trouble, is in fact, the leading theme and the Standard says:
 There is no enemy of England too bitter and no professional condemner of crowns and thrones too fanatical to admit the vir- tues and services to mankind of Queen Vic toria.

MRS. NATION AND TWO COMPANIONS
 TAKE 4 SALOON SMASHING TOUR
Concealed Axes Beneath the Folds of Dresses and Wekd Two Liquor Selling Establishments s-They Afterwards CooIy
 Held Prayer Meeting in Front of the Ruins.

Wichita, Kan, January 21-Mrs Carrie Nation came back to Wichita today after her recent incarceration under a smallpox quarantine and the net result of ten min utes' work this afternoon are two wrecked saloons, the pieces of which are being sold tonight for souvenirs.
 Mrs. Nation was assisted by Mrs. Julia Evans, Mrs. Lucy Wilhoit and Mrs. Lydia Muntz of the Topeka W. c. T. U. organi- zation. With axes concealed under their cloaks they entered John Burns saloon on . Douglas avenue and did not leave a com plete piece of glass or working steel ma chine in the place. All show cases, both for liquor and cigars as we'll as the plate glass windows and doors were broken. With lightning speed they ran to John Herrigs' saloon and had everything in front of the room, including the plate glass windows broken, when he appeared with a revolver, placed it at Mrs. Nations head and said that he would blow out her brains if she did not desist. She yielded before this pointed revolver and with her com panions, ran to the Carey Hotel bar, where she made her first attack on the saloons of Wichita three weeks ago. Three police men stopped her and she struck at one of the policemen with a poker He showed her aside and youth struck him in the face. A policeman struck the youth and knocked him down. The police then over powered Mrs. Nation and her friends and took them to the city prison, followed by 2000 people. Mrs. Evans little daughter pushed her way through the crowd, screaming and begged for the release of her mother but the policemen were deaf to her entreaties.
 Chief of Police Neudbon discharged the prisoners after they reached the jail and Is heartily condemned by the citizens. They made him promise not to wreck any more saloons before noon tomorrow.
 Mrs. Evans hand was badly cut by broken glass.
 After leaving the city building Mrs. Ma tion, in the coolest manner, began a street lecture to the crowd that had surrounded the city building, saying that she expected to begin saloon wrecking again at noon to- morrow when her truce with the chief of police expires. Shaking her first at the crowd, she cried; Men of Wichita, this is the right arm of God and I am destained to wreck every saloon in your city,"
 The woman procured a wagon and rode through the streets in 1t, singing, Nearer My God to Thee" and kindred hymns. They halted in front of the saloons they had smashed and held prayer meetings.

 Field Club Trials

Grand Junction, Tenn, January 2.-The pointer derby was run to a finish today. Although the morning looked unfavorabIe Blythe and Mirabean opened the stake. Mirabean found the only bevy, Blythe push ing one single down. Blythe had all the advantage on pace, range and hunting out ground. Jingos Romp and Gray Pearl found seven bevies in the hours trial and ran a pretty even trial, Romp having slight ad- vantage.
 Doc Light and lingo II. were the third brace to try conclusions. Doe Light ran in the form that has twice before returned him winner of derby races. He had all the advantage in style, pace and in man. ner of hunting out his ground. lingo II. suffered in comparison, lacking speed and range to compete successfully.
 Imp and Itabit ran in one in the after- noon, the latter getting the best of 1t in other requisites, both being in use were at a disadvantage. Hidalgo ran alone on poor ground, but in fine fashion, creating a good impression. He slowed up at close of run, having lamed himself in some way.
 Four dogs were taken in the second series, Manitoba Blythe, running with Grays Pearl and Doc Light with Jingoes Romp. All sus- tained their work in the first series, Blythe running better.
 The winners were Doc Light, owned by Dr. G. Chisolm of Birmingham Ala, in first place, the second going to Jingos Romp, owned by N T. Depaum, New Albany Ind. Third was won by Grays Pearl owned by John ". Gill, Franklin, Pa.

NEBRASKA DEADLOCK.
Fusion Party of Legislature Take Ad-
 vantage of Situation.

Lincoln, Neb., January H.-The fusion minority of the Legislature will take ad- vantage of the apparent Republican dead lock to elect two Senators of their political faith if the opportunity presents. This de- termination was emphasized tonight when a fusion caucus was held to outline a plan to future action, and if nevessary do away with the plan of pairing. This together with the many absentees on the majority side at today's balloting gave the Republi- cans a sufficient scare to call for counter action and a meeting was held at which a committee was appointed whose duty 1t will be to see that no ballot is allowed to be taken unless the Republicans have a clear majority on the floor. There were few changes in today's vote for Senators and the deadlock Is apparently as tight as ever.

NATIONAL CONGRESS.
Two Bills Passed for the Benefit of SoI-
 diers.

Washington, January 2.-The House to- day after devoting some time to District of Columbia business, passed number of bills under the suspension of the rules. They were to provide home for aged and infirm colored people out of the fund now in the treasury to the credit of deceased colored soldiers, amounting to about s280,- 900; to establish a branch soldiers homo at Johnson City, Washington County, Ten nessee, and to increase the salary of the commissioner of education of Porto Rico from 5000 to $4O00. A bill to give citizens of foreign countries the right to sue in the Court of Claims for indemnity for al- leged uries which had been recommended by the State Department was disastrously beaten.
