( CopyrlRht , ISM , by Associated Precs. ) LONDON , Feb.I. . Queen Victoria Is to return to Windsor from Osborno on Tuesday next nnd will receive tbo new United States nmbassador , Mr. Joseph H. Chontc , who will present his credentials before her majesty starts for the Riviera. Mr. Chonte's repu tation as n wit nnd a bright nftcr-dlnncr epcnkcr bus preceded him. The newspapers nre full of his witty sayings nnd the stories credited to him , some true , but mostly apoc ryphal. In fact , from the moment he Bets foot on British soil , Mr. Chonte will be ox- Sicctcd to coruscate Ilka a brilliant. The duke Marlborough went to Os- torno on Thursday anil was Introduced nnd "kissed hands" on bin appointment as pay master general. He has also been sworn tn us n privy councillor. The duchess ot Mnrl- bciroiigh Is becoming very active In small public functions. She Is to open n bazaar nt Hackney next Thursday In nld ot the Teachers' orphanage site. These kindly nets Bfcatly promote her popularity , as they en- tall something more than mere attendance. It means' a handsome contribution to the funds. The question of the hour In London Is the stringent order of the police prohibiting empty cabs from entering the Strand , Bond Btrcet and other busy thoroughfares and compelling them to wait on the cnb ranks. Every American visitor In London remem bers the endless procession of loitering cabs , popularly known ad "crawlers , " rendering It nlmost Impossible for foot passengers to cross the roadways and leading to Incessant congestion ot traffic. The cab drivers and the cab owners nro now up In arms and nre denouncing the police for their alleged tyr anny , taking Iho ground that It spells ruin for them. They have been holding mass meetings to protest against the action ot the police authorities. Already about 2,000 cabs Jinvc been withdrawn from thc streets , al though the regulation has only been tn force a few days. Aliened Interview. An alleged Interview with ttio French minister of marine , M. l.ockrow , published In a Home paper , hns created considerable etlr In some quarters In London , as It Is held to show that France has In no wise burled the hatchet , but Is determined to at tack Omit Britain nt the first opportunity. People here , however , can hardly credit the veracity of the Interview In which 11. Lock- row begins by describing thc Brltltli naval organization as being "all humbug" and sayIng - Ing "the English have only the brutal force ot numbers. " Thc minister ot marine Is also quoted ns declaring that war with Great Britain Is Inevitable and ho la said to have added , In consequence : "Let Eng land continue to construct big war ships. Our naval program Is steel-plated , powerful , swift cruisers , torpedo boat destroyers and submarine boats. " The British newspapers have apparently taken these utterances seriously nnd are urging the government to reply "to words With deeds. " Thcso French menaces seem to accord with Information to the effect that military nnd naval circles hero are con vinced that France means war. Secret ad vices , It appears , have been received at the British war office showing that the French authorities are noiselessly preparing for the struggle. In fact , It Is even said the Na poleonic idea of an Invasion of Great Brit ain Is revolving In the minds of the French military authorities and nt the present mo ment a gradual but silent movement of troops Is said to bo proceeding towards the northern coast of France , where , In two months' time. It Is asserted , about 150,000 men will bo concentrated. The British war authorities are determined not to wait France's convenience , but to call its hand , as they did In the Fashoda Inci dent , nnd will declare that they regard this concentration of troops as an act of var. In the meanwhile the British navy Is paying the greatest attention to gunnery. The rtianncl squadron this week has bcon en gaged every morning In firing practice at moving targets. Thc results are being care- lully noted. GOSSIP OF THE SMART SET AVlmt I.nmloii'N Noclrty I.eailerN mill the SprlKN of Xnlilllty Art- ( Copyright , 1850 , by Press Publishing Qo. ) LONDON , Feb. 4.

It must find a paying place araons current publications. Mind you , this Is no philanthropic plan to provide readers with a beautiful , fascinating periodical at the expense of a wealthy syn dicate.

The prince Is well known to want money badly , as al though his allowance Is Increased by Parlia ment 30,000 n year to provide marriage portions for his daughters , he Is obliged to make the Duke of York a largo allowance out of his private purse and his own ex penses are very heavy.

Little in polkc court and or dered the officers to return all the gambling fixtures taken from the Henshaw hotel , This action was taken on a motion of the defendant , accompanied by an affidavit by Clerk John W. Sliaw , alleging that room 10 was not occupied on the afternoon of the day the arrests were made and that In real ity the fixtures were taken from rooms -Ifl and -iS. The search warrant with which the polke were armed authorized them to enter nnd go through room 10 and the motion of the defendant Insisted that they had no right to confiscate goods In any other room but the 0110 mentioned , The complaint named room 10 In the building at 150D or 161 ] Far- nam street and as the court has held here tofore that ofllcera are 'unauthorized < o search uny other part of a building than that referred to In a search warrant he sustained the motion to quash and likewise to order the cards , chips and other devices returned to Mr , Little. The hearing of the case against George and Joe Nachncbel and Dan Buckovls was continued until February 15 , On that date the state will move to dismiss its complaint of assault with Intent to commit great bodily ily Injury and will file a now complaint , alleging assault with Intent to wound.

Dntisjlns , whose death At Washington last week temove < l one of the most prominent feminine characters of the passing genera- tlon. Mrs. Douglas married General Williams In ] JCC and soon After the. couple re moved to Omaha , where the general was ( or n number of years adjutant general of thc Department of the Platto. During their residence In Omaha they lived on Cass street , near Nineteenth and were prominently Identified with the social life ot the city. Among tliCK'c who retain a meet vivid recollection of Mra , Williams Is Dr. George L. Miller , w3i emphasizes all that has been said during the last few days by the press all over the country of her queenly pres ence and many admirable qualities of mind and heart. "Wo know Mr. and ( Mrs. Wil liams well , " said Dr. Milter , "for they were our neighbors for probably eight or ton years , God never made a more admirable woman and her 'husband ' Is every Inch a gentleman nnd n soldier. Mrs. Williams was the leader here , as she was tn Chicago cage nnd Washington and In every circle she was the undisputed queen. She was the sort of woman that a person would select at a glance from Among a thousand as a most superior personage. "It was in 1S58 that I first saw Mrs. Wil liams , " added Dr. Miller. "Sho was then Mrs , Douglas and I saw her in her magnifi cent home In Washington , I happened to meet Governor Richards , the then terri torial governor of Nebraska , who was Mr. Douglas' right bo-ncr In political matters , and ho invited mo to call on Mr Douglas In company with himself and John Jay Adams , who was the another great demp- crattc leader. We arrived at the Douglas home about 11 o'clock and I spent the re mainder of the day an Interested listener to the discussion between the three great democratic leaders. I did not meet Mrs. Douglas at "that time , as she merely passed through thc room , but 1 was struck with her commanding beauty and inimitable grate. My formal Introduction to her oc curred shortly after , when Mr. Douglas was received at Chicago by 60,000 demo crats and given a tremendous ovation. At that time 1 met Mrs. Douglas In the par lors at the Trcmont house and 1 never saw a woman so beautiful as she was on that occasion. After her marriage to General Williams and during her subsequent resi dence In Omaha I learned to moro fully appreciate her many womanly qualities. The news of her death cnme to my family with the force of a. personal bereavement and 1 have Just sent General Williams a letter of condolence to express our sym pathy In his loss. Nothing that can be slid can do more than simple justice to the memory of this .magnificent woman , who wns without a peer among American women. " SLIGHT DAMAGE BY FIRE Ctulclc IlPHpuiiNc ! > thc Vlrt' Ut'i > nr - meiit SIIVPH < Iu- Webster Street Subool HouNi . Fire was discovered Saturday nfternoon about 4 o'clock In the basement ot the Web ster Street school house. There was con siderable excitement in the neighborhood , but the damage will not exceed ? 300. Janitor William Stewart discovered smoke L-omlng from the basement and turned In the alarm. When the fire department arrived thc building was filled with smoke and the men found themselves compelled to battle against the most disagreeable of fires. Lines of hose were quickly at play In the base ment , which was soon flooded. In going through tbo basement in an attempt to find the fire , Chief Rcdcll bhot into a basin ot water , which soaked him to the waist. He finally found the flames on the cast side , near the center. The fire had undoubtedly started In n lumber pile and burned upward , finally eating its way between the wook- work of the floor above the basement. It < did not take the firemen long to extinguish the llames , but from outward appearances It was thought the building would be a total loss , as' the smoke was emerging from the windows In heavy columns. After the windows had been opened and the smoke "permitted " to escape It was found tliat the damage was slight on the first Iloor. In room three , over the place where the flro started , the woodwork was slightly charred and some of the wainscoting was torn away to make sure that the flrc was out. The room was badly smoked , but the furniture Is not damaged. The remainder of the building was smoked and the ceil ings were steamed , but a coat of paint will repair all the damage done to It. In the basement the windows were broken out nnd the woodwork prettly badly scorched. Janitor Stewart thinks the fire wns due to spontaneous combustion tn the coal , which had just been put In , but Chief Bedell laughed at the Idea , because the fire started In nn east room , while the coal is on the west side of the building. The building Is uninsured except for the fund of $12,000 , which the Board of Educa tion has set aside for the protection ot buildings by fire Instead of taking out In surance. With ono exception all of the rooms will bo In condition to be occupied when school opens tomorrow.

Omaha citizens will bavu to wait some tlmu before the si0:10 cldowalk about the old postoillce building Is repaired and put Into more passable condition. The council re cently sent a request to the Treasury de partment at Washington asking that the eldeualk ba fixed up. A response ha& been received to the effect that the Treasury de partment would not do 'the ' work becauao the building is about to be turned over to the War department us headquarters for thc Department of 'the Missouri , This moms that the sidewalk will not be repaired for the next six months at least. The Washington dispatches announce that money for the remodeling of the building will not be provided , In all probability , until the next congress meets. The cost of fixing the eldewalk would properly come out of suck a fund. Conc'rrl nt St , 1'i-tiT'it. The sacred concert which Is to bo given at St , Peter's church next Sunday evening.

One of the most elaborate balls ever given In the city has bwn ; planned for February 22 nnd a large amount of money will be expended In making the affair a social success. The decorations will be something worth seeing as the sum of | 200 has been set aside for flowers. A florist has been engaged to deco rate the big dining room at the Exchange building , -nhere the ball will be held and It Is expected that every nook and corner will be a bo.wer of flowers.

Only the Dcfrnxril to 111 aim- . Coroner Swanson held an Inquest yesterday evening on the remains of Dan Spellacey , who was killed Saturday morning by fall ing down an elevator shaft at Cudahy's. The testimony given to the Jury went to show that Spellacey was Intoxicated at the time he went to work and that the accident wtfs duo to his own carelessness. The Jury , after hearing the evidence , returned a ver dict In accordance with the facts. It seems that Spellacey boarded the elevator back wards and when his floor was reached he moved backwards Instead of forwards ns the other truckmen did. It was inferred by the Jury that on account of his intoxicated condition he did not know what he was doing and thus made a mistake which cost him his life. Thc deceased was a single man and lived at the Offcrman bouse , Twenty- Jltth and O streets. The remains are still In charge of Undertaktr Brewer. It Is stated on good authority that the Department of Agriculture has taken up the "embalmed" beef problem and will Insti tute a thorough examination of all employes of the Bureau of Animal Industry. Every member of this bureau at every packing house In the country will bo requested to make a sworn statement ot the manner tn which meat Is packed , pickled , etc. This testimony will. It Is stated , be sent to the War department for the purpose of offsetting thc affidavits of Dr. Christine and others who asserted that they witnessed the em balming of meats at packing houses. The Bureau of Animal Industry feels that It has been maligned Vn statements printed and the Investigation Is for the purpose of showIng - Ing that every piece of meat bearing a gov- e/nmcnt tag Is a pure food product when loaded upon the cars.
