SCANDAL IN NAVY
Influential London Papers Clamor for Removal of
 Lord Beresford.
PARLIAMENT TAKES IT UP
Climax in Strained Relations With Sir Percy Scott Near at
 Hand.

London, July S.-The campaign now being waged by the newspapers against Admiral Lord Charles Beresford has reached a point where 1t seems inevl- table that the government must inter- fere in some way 10 abate what Is he- coming a public scandal It Is difficult to arrive at the true facts in the case, but ever since the notorious signal in- cldent on Nov. 2, 1907, strained rela- tons have existed between Lord Beres- ford and Rear Admiral Sir Percy Scott. Lord Beresford also has declined to continue his friendship with Sir John Fisher, first lord of the admiralty, on account of his disagreement with the admiralty policy. This feeling has been so open that Lord Beresford at one of tho kings hvees held recently deliber- ately "eut" Sir John in the presence of many naval and military officers.
 Several of the influential London newspapers openly clamor for the res ignatlon of the removal of Lord B sres- ford from the command of the channel fleet, on the ground that he cannot agree either with hls superiors or with his interiors and that naval dissenslons of such a nature are national danger
 Other papers contend that Lord Beresford Is the victim of an unfair lpress campaign. The Standard this morning asserts that Lord Beresfort slgnalled to Sir Percy Scott that ht Twas quite right in disobeying a signal which the admiral had sent up, during the recent maneuvers of the channel fleet, for an evolution, which. if obeyed would have brought the cruisers Argyll and Good Hope Into collision, and thii incident, says the Standard, is helpIng towards the restoration of friendly re. Ilatlons between the two officers
 The matter will be raised in parlla, lmen, today.

The dedicatory exercises of the new
I. nj. G. A. building have been definite
ly determined upon for Thursday, FRI
day, Saturday and Sunday, February 3,
IA, 10 and Is. The program has been
simply outlined. the details as yet re-
ceiving but little attention. The COM
mittee which will have the arrangement
OF the exercises mas had no formal
meeting, and until il does, Just what
the exercises will be is largely specula-
tive. The president and secretary have
made rough draft of the services
which viii be held, aud if the committee
approves, their plan will be followed.
This plan protides for a general re-
ception to be held at the new building
Thursday night to which the public
will be invited People will be cordially
welcomed by various committees who
will take delight in showing all corners
over the building. Whether Any set
program will be given is now an open
question, the feeling on the part of the
officials being that such feature will
be eliminated No exercises of any
character are planned for the week
days, the evenings being considered
sufficient for such purposes.
On Friday evening it is proposed

nothing has been done regarding

DEATH OF MRS. TAYLOR ALEX
AMBER.

On Sunday morning. January Goth,
1908, Mrs Taylor Alexander died at her
home In this city after an illness of sew
eral weeks, of congestion of the brain
Mrs. Alexander had been In falling
health for year past but most of that
time she was able to be about her home
and to visit with her relatives and
friends in the city. About three weeks
ago she was taken very i'll and from
that time her life has slowly ebbed
away, in spite of all that loving hands
and expert medical aid could do to pre-
vent.
Mrs Alexander was born in Wan
paca, Wis, on the 18th day of March,
1868. Her maiden name was Ellie A.
Pipe. She resided in the city of her
birth until 1887, when she was united in
marriage TO Mr. Taylor Alexander, of
this city, and they came directly here
to reside. Since then Wausau has been
their home. Mrs. Alexander was
woman of many excellent qualities that
endeared her To a very large circle of
friends She died as she had lived,
noble Christian character, a loving
companion and an affectionate wife
and mother. Four children were born
unto Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander-Flor-
ence, Mac, Jennings and Neil, all of
whom, together with the husband, are
left to mourn her loss.
The funeral ceremonies took place
from the residence, 6s5 Warren street,
at 2:30 o'clock this Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. f. II. Brigham, pastor of the First
M. L. church, OF this city, officiating.

DEATH OF MRS. JOHN T.YOULES.

Word was received in Wausau last
Wednesday, January %, 1908, by rela-
tives, of the death of Mrs. John I.
Youles, which occurred at the home of
her daughter, in Tehama, California,
on that day. To many of our old time
citizens, this sad information caused
profound sorrow. Letters had been re-
ceived from time to time, the past
month stating that her condition was
serious, though hopes were entertained
of her recovery.
Mrs. John L. Youles was born in Yer
mont, on the 9th day of October, 1910.
When 10 years of age she came to Wau-
sau to live with her sister, Mrs. James
Single. Later she was united in mar
riage to John T. dulles, and with the
exception OF a few years, which have
been spent with their children in Cali
fornia, their home has been in Wausau.
A half century of life in Wausau and
Marathon county justly entities one 10
be classed among that band of noble
pioneer women who did so much to-
wards laying the foundations for the
future of our city. Mrs. Youles was a
woman beloved by all who knew her.
The PILOT editor who had known this
good woman during his life is unable
to find words to adequately extoll her
virtues, more than to say none excelled
her in kindly spirit and charitable ways.
She leaves to mourn her loss, her hus-
band, son, John Youles and daugh-
ter, Mrs. Nicholas Golden, all of whom
reside in California, and sister, Mrs.
James Single, of this city. Her remains
were laid to rest in the cemetery at
johanna

DEATH OF ELIZABETH MANSER.

There was deep sorrow on every
hand, Wednesday morning, January,
ed, 1908, when the sad news of the
death of Miss Elizabeth Helen Manser
spread throughout the city. She sank
peacefully to sleep at four O'Clock a. m
and by her bedside were her parents
and sister Elizabeth Manser had veen
an invalid for seven years; when but
fourteen years of age she fell from
merry -go-roand and sustained injuries
to her hip. This trouble became
aggravated and grew worse, notwith-
standing she was given all the loving
care which fond parents could bestow
upon her and the treatment of the very
best medical experts of the country.
While she has been able to be about,
with the assistance of crutches, ali these
years, at times there were grave fears
that she could not long survive. There
was perceptible change for the worse
in her condition recently and this
proved to be the beginning of the final
dissolution Miss Manser was pos
sessed of a gentle, loving. cheerful dis
her illness and she endeared herself 10
all with whom she was acquainted by
her sweetness of character.
Elizabeth Manser was the oldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Manser.
She was born in Kelly on the 14th day
of January, 1886. and lived there until
five years ago when she came TO Wau-
sau with her parents to reside. Besides
her parents one sister, Inez, is left to
mourn her loss.
The funeral took place from the home
on Friday afternoon at / 80 O. clock, the
Rev. t. B. L. Fisher, pastor of the First
Universalist church, officiating. The
many floral offerings from loving
friends were silent testimonials of the
love and esteem in which deceased was
held in this community. The remains
were laid to rest in Pine Grove ceme-
