London, Jan. 2s.-The preparations
for Queen Victoria's funeral are grad

Uses TO be the most tremendous pageant
of the generation. The influx of mem
bers of royal families and representa-
tives of foreign countries has been so
wholly unprecedented that the court
officials are finding it difficult to pro-
cure suitable accommodations, the
royal palaces being totally inadequate.
The procession is expected to occupy
two hours, traversing London from Vic
toria station to Paddington station,
whence the funeral train will depart at
1875 a. M, reaching Windsor at 1850.
The coffin will be conveyed in the
queens special saloon carriage, at
tached to the royal train, built special
ly for the diamond jubilee, by which
the king and the royal family will
journey to the royal borough.
The king, as chief mourner. accom-
panied by Emperor William, will ride,
on horseback, at the head of the pro-
cession through London, with Field
Marshal Earl Roberts, the commander
in chief of the forces, and staff in close
proximity. At least six battalions of
infantry will participate in the process

Considerable criticism is heard
about the cheap material used in con-
etructing the stone stairways at the
western approach to the capitol build

work has been completed only a COM
paratively short time it rapidly is fall
ing into decay and there are many
unsightly spots on the landings at the
west front of the building.
Not only is the stone which was
used of an extremely perishable ma
ture, many thin layers having peeled
off, leaving unsightly holes about an
inch deep and several feet in diameter,
but the mortar used has disappeared
entirely in several places and some
of the steps are quite loose and work.

necessary to do some of the work
over again and take out many of the
large blocks of stone and replace them
with new ones.
1t is not known who is responsible
for the condition of affairs, but it can
not be denied the work is of the
cheapest character and not at all in
keeping with the magnificent struc-
ture to which these stairways lead.

ROOSEVELT is TREED
Gray Wolves Prove Too Much for
the Intrepid Hunter.
His Eager Scent for Mig Game Leads
Him Into II Predicnment That Is
Both Thrilling and Ridic-
ulOus

According to a messenger who came
in to Meeker, Col, day or two ago.
Col. Roosevelt's chair was vacant the
other night when the hunters at the
keystone ranch gathered for supper.
No anxiety was felt at first, as he had
told the others when he left the cabin
for solitary stroll just before dusk not
to wait for him in case he was not back
by supper time. But at nine o'clock
friends became alarmed. AT ten o'clock
they were convinced that he was the
victim of some accident and men and
dogs started to find him.
1t seems that in the gathering dark
ness Col. Roosevelt saw the shaggy
form of a gray wolf outlined against
the sky on a ridge fully 300 yards away.
1t was too dark for accurate aim, but
the bullet from his rife wounded the
beast and sent him limping and yelling
over the brow of the hill. Col. Roose-
velt followed on the run. He found the
tracks of the animal, showing that it's
leg had been broken. A light snow had
fallen the night before and the blood
stained footprints We're easily traced.
The hunter was already far from
home and in the excitement of the
chase had lost his direction. However,
he had no thought of danger until he
noticed that the yelping of the wound
ed wolf was answered by others. These
gray wolves are twice as large as
coyotes and dangerous when in num-
bers. Col Roosevelt kept away from
the thickets and brought down several
of the brutes when they came too near.
Finally it became too dark for any
thing but haphazard shooting, and, as
the country seemed alive with wolves.
Col. Roosevelt climbed a tree. In
doing SO he lost his cartridge belt.
There the party found him after he
had been prisoner for four hours.
Under the tree were half-dozen
wolves that he had killed with his re-
vo.vers. The others were soon scat
tered by the dogs.

USES SAIL ON DRY LAND.
High Wind Enables Chicago BOY to
Navigate South Park in
Queer Style.

The driveways of South park, in Chi
cago. were sailed the other day by Gar
ner Hubbell. a small boy, who took in
genious advantage of the gale of south
wind which blew all day long. Master
Hubbell is IL years old, the son of l. C.
llubbell, who lives at 1898 Monroe av-
enue. The lad rugged up triangular
sail and fastened it to mast erected on
his small express wagon. AT first he
tried small sail, counting on the wind
to make up for what he lacked in can
vas But in the afternoon he made a
sail about ten feet high. By means of
this he could navigate the sidewalks on
the avenues, riding north and steering
his sail wagon with ropes attached to
the forward axle tree 1t was necessary
for him to haul his wagon when going
south, but that was like walking up hill
for slide, though easier, and the nav
igator did not mind it.

BIG ROBBERY Of STAMPS.
Vault in Internal Revenue Office
at Peoria, ILL.,, Forced
by Burglars.
LOSS MAY REACH MILLION DOLLARS.
Another Estimate Says 100000 Will
Probably Cover the Amount of
Stamps Tnkcn--Exnct Amount of
Loss Cannot lie known Until an
Invoice Is Taken

Peoria, ILL.,, Jan. 2S.-The safe in
the office of the collector of internal
revenue in this city. which is head
quarters of the Fifth Illinois district,
was broken into Friday night and a
large quantity of war revenue stamps
taken. The authorities claim that
they will have no idea of what the
value of the stamps taken may be I'M
til after the contents of the safe have
been invoiced. 1t is known. however,
that large quantity of stamps was
taken. 1t is possible that the amount
may reach $1,oOO,coo or more, and it
is equally possible that it may be con-
siderably smaller. This district pays
more internal revenue than any other
district in the country.
Thieves Enter by Transom
Entrance to the revenue offices,
which occupy one entire side of the
second floor of the government build
ing, was effected through an open
transom. They bored through the
vault door and into the bar which
turns the bolts into place. Then by
eiiS use VI udiulleI anu cnlSeI Uuey
broke the bar which is on the inside
of the door. Afterwards they took
the bricks out at the side of the safe
and easily pried open the vault doors.
One Estimate Says 100000.
The amount of stamps secured by
the robbers is only matter of guess
as yet. Deputy Collector Marshall
who is in charge of the department
during Collector Daugherty's serious
illness refuses to make any estimate
whatever. Others connected with the
department assert that 100000 will
cover the government loss. Chief of
Police Flynn says that from what his
detectives have gathered he considers
that amount high. Others besides the
government lost by the steal. ]. F.
Tompkins, deputy in the depart
ment, had mortgages, bonds and notes
to the amount of $4,000 and 500 in
cash in the vault, all of which was
taken, as was other negotiable paper
and cash belonging to other employees
of the department. Auditors are ex-
pected to arrive before Monday morn
ing, and the contents of the safe will
then be invoiced and the loss fully
learned.

hind protective tariff to prevent the
competition of "pauper locomotive

Why?
France and Great Britain are buying
American bituminous coal. The Amer

Why?
Great Britain, France, Germany and

''pauper made European Shoes"
Why?
These are pertinent questions. Why
should these infant industries be pro-

e1gn made goods when the markets
thereof are able to pay ocean and rail
road freight rates and undersell the
foreigner in his own markets? Will
it never dawn upon majority of the
people that the protective tariff is
only blind for extorting from them
exorbitant profits? Will it never
dawn upon them that bulwarked be-
hind the protective tariff the "infant

up American consumers for any profit
the manufacturers see fit to exact
while actually underselling the en-
ployer of "pauper European labor" in
