 Throughout the earlier part of inc day the lugubrious tolling of bells. the booming of minute guns, the universal evidences of mourning and the stagna- ton of business, even amid the strange ly contrasting acclaims for the new king, told strongly of the deep feeling of the people of Denmark for the head of the nation whose remarkable career had ended SO suddenly.
 In the chamber of the Amalienhorg palace the body of the king lies on the modest bed on which he breathed tis last. The door of the chamber is guarded by the kings adjutants as a guard of honor. A coverlet of simple crochet work, make by Christians be- loved queen, Louise. is spread over the | couch, which is placed amid the simplest surroundings. The dead monarch's features are unchanged and are com posed as if in a sleep other than that of death.

 the Steamer Queen hut None For the
 Tug That Accompanied Her.
 Seattle, Wash, Jan. 3O.-At to-day's session of the investigation into the loss of the steamer Valencia, c. Ali son, of St. Paul, a passenger testified that the sea was not rough. He ex- plained that he had himself been sailor, and that the surf that finally battered the Valencia to pieces could not be called high. This testimony caused a mild sensation, as all pub lished accounts of the wreck have been described as high seas' and terrible surf"
 Everyone seemed to shun us" said Allison, testifying before the board of United States inspectors in the Valen- cia investigation. All seemed to be afraid to help or to attempt to help the unfortunate men and women who were facing death.
 All those that succeeded in getting ashore immediately left the scene. The vessels at sea stood off and made no attempt to lower boat. In the morn ing, after the last raft put off from the WD1pnniu tbnVn no Yur ming. Not wave had comber on it.
 There might have been some excuse for the Queen not coming in closer, but there was a tug alongside of her that did not come any closer than the large vessel. It all looked wrong to me.
 T was in my bunk when the vessel struck, and Immediately went on deck. Everything was quiet and orderly then. Someone gave an order to lower the boats to the saloon deck. When they were lowering the starboard boat the crowd gathered around 1t. After peo- pie began jumping in there was some confusion. The boat went down the ships side and for moment it hung one end up the other down, and all tllG lllllt DdA5lHb d6diLiSt lllC Slus uL tLe vessel. Finally it was caught and cap sized
 How did 1t happen that so many of the crew were on the life raft?' asked Inspector Whitney.
 "As soon as the raft struck the water the crew took possession" said the wit ness.

 Tt was trifie foggy, but there was no wind lowing. The waves did not have combers on them. I do not see why boat could not have been low cred"
 A. Willis, another passenger, testified that the first boat was not lowered. He said that the cliff on which the Valen- cia was wrecked was so abrupt where he landed that he could not get the life line that was shot ashore towards him.

AN INNOCENT TRANsGREssIoN
ROoseveIt's Sisters in Forbidden Terri-
 tory in the House.

Washington, Jan 3O.-An innocent transgression of the rules regarding the prerogatives of the house resulted when Senator Warren of Wyoming es- corted President Roosevelt's two sis ters, Mrs. Cowles and Mrs. Robinson, and two gentlemen, into the private lobby just back of the hall of the house during the session to-day.
 This lobby is so sacredly reserved for members that the rules forbid the speaker to entertain motion to ad- init others. Senator Warren, accustom- ed to the practice of the senate, to en- certain guests in the marble room, which corresponds to the lobby in ques- tion, escorted the party past the guards al the door and ten temporarily left his guests
 Assistant Doorkeeper Kennedy spied the trespassers and with apologies es- corted them hurriedly beyond the dead line and to place in the gallery re- served for the president and his friends.

BrLL AROUSES INTEREST.
Members of House Evince Unusual In-
 terest in Rate Measure.

tereSt ln HAte MeuBuEes
 Washington, Jan. 30.-Members of the house evinced more general interest in the discussion of the railway-rate bill throughout to-day than on any top ic of legislation for some time. The debate throughout was listened to at tentively and many questions were asked of the different speakers to bring out either obscure points in the meas ure or evils complained of which no at tempt had been made to include in the bill The debate was opened by MT. Townsend, of Michigan, in an exhaust i've argument on the general subject and sharp criticism directed to those who had opposed rs;isaad-rate legisla- tion.
 MT. Adamson. of Georgia, represent ing the minority, followed in com mendation of the measure and in praise of President Roosevelt's stand on the question, which, he said, the minority were availing themselves of in the pres ent instance.
 MT. Hinshaw, of Nebraska, depicted the benefit the legislation would do to the great trans Missouri country, and MT. Richardson, of Alabama, discussed, as a democrat, the things done and left undone in the measure.
 Questions addressed to the various speakers by Mir. Sherley, of Kentucky, and Mir. Littlefield, of Maine, indicated that there is to be some opposition to the bill, at least in debate. The feature seemingly subject to attack is as to what will be the authority of the inter- state commerce commission under the bill relative to differentials in rates be- tween competing cities or localities.

 sion of the Legislature Providing for
 Sweeping InvestigatiOn--Charge

The resolution requires the committee to complete it's labors and report to the legislature by February 6.
 David Martin is the present official, he having succeeded Israel w.
