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Jinvc been withdrawn from thc streets , al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.

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

The search warrant with which the polke

go through room 10 and the motion of the
defendant Insisted that they had no right
to confiscate goods In any other room but

Dr. IJrorKO 1 , , .Miller I'ny * n TrllmtP

Wl I llnm * .
of the older residents of Oraatn re
tain personal recollection of Mrs. Robert
Williams , the former wife of Stephen A.
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

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.
