Ily Exclusisr Win- from Tin- AMClatcd Prow.
Cowes, Jan. !tt. A glittering crescent
nf light stretches this owning from
('owes to Portsmouth. Tt consists of
ten miles of worships, tin pick of the
British, French and .!crmun navies.
These lie at anchor, ready to take their
part In tomorrow's ceremonies, when
(he navy will, pay a lu.il iiiiii;iililent
ti Unite to the sovereign whoso n-'s-n
was marked by the greatest naval 1
gross In the history of the nation.
At the head of the line are the old
fuddle wheel royal yachts, their sombre
IiuIIh standing out In vivid cuii(rat
agolnst the huge white sides of the
llohenzollorn. Then, In single column,
conic the British battleships. Half
way to l'oitsmouth the single line
merges Into a stately double row. the
vessels of the foreign nation:; and the
biggest of the British craft lying there
iind waiting to salute the body of Eng
land's lamented queen.
It probably will be nearly I o'clock
tomorrow afternoon before the Albert,
with the royal collln. leaves Cowes. .She
will steam Inside the single line and
hen enter the passage formed by the
Lcvlthlnns. This evening1 she lies at
Trinity piers. Her quarter deck Is cov-
red with awnings, under which the
m'ii have been working throughout the
"' In making the llnal preparations.
The nwulntr was necessary because
rain fell until a late hour, rold and
dreary weather prevailing.
The omens for line weather tomor
row are not propitious, but the first of
thousands of spectators are arriving
this evening, together with soldiers in
bright uniforms. The mile and a half
of road outside the town of East.
Cowes, and separating: Osborne from
Trinity Pier. Is a. typical country thor
oughfare. The ttoops lining It will have
dlllk'Ult work.
Strange Spectacle.
TIii' i-oilin, the military spectacle and
the other attendant features will in
spire intense Interest and emotion, but
what ereates greater expectancy Is the
announcement that Queen Alexandra
and tin princesses of royal blood will
vail: down the muddy road and
taroi:'h the narrow streets to the
water's edge. This part of the pro
gramme thus far holds good, although
should rain bo falling when the pro-rcs-sion
starts from Osborne House the
royal ladles will scarcely persist In
their determination.
At Osborne this evening all is quiet.
Turing the day the royal personages
v.n'ked about the grounds and passed
the hours in much the same way as
they had done for a week or more.
Two solitary policemen guarded the
lodge gates. Down the road to the
pound carpenters are disturbing the
quiet hedge rows by the hasty erection
ef a few stands, and in Cowes and East
"'owcs there Is the same noise. Hut
windows and seats In stands that wotil
sell in London for fifty guineas each
are eoing here at half a guinea.
People throughout the countryside
are lamenting tomorrow's sorrow, for
with it will go the remains of one
-r.horn they had grown lo look upon as
peculiarly their own, as well as the
prestige her constant visits bestowed
upen the locality. Meanwhile the in
vader, the excursionist, the Journalist
anil the visitor from the continent or
tho mainland discusses without eons
ins the best coign of vantage to view
tomorrow's spectacle for spectacle
rather than any other reason.

SHE SIMPLY LECTURES
The Tollce Try to Ar est Mrs. Nation,
but tho Crowd Following Her In

Gain Admission to Any of the
"Joints," Although She Promised
Not to Smash Fixtures.
Py Exclusive Wire from The Associated I're.-a
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 31. Mrs. Carrie
Nation started on a crusade against
the Topeka "Joints" at 2.B0 this after
noon. She called on live of the best
places, but was ejected from tho first,
one vlslred despite her protests that
she merely wanted to lecture.
A crowd of several hundred people
followed Mrs. Nation down the strei t.
The police tried to arrest her, but the
crowd, most of whom were sympathis
ers, Interfered, and she continued her
lecture tour without, however, attempt
ing to destroy any property.
Mrs. Nation wore an old gray shawl
and carried an ordinary hand-bag.
When she appeared at the different
"Joints" the owners stood back of tho
bnrrlcaded doors and waited an at
tack. She begged them to let her in
that she might talk to them, promising
not to harm anything. Hut they were
afraid of lur and would not open the
doors. Nothing daunted, she talked at
them after this .ashlou:
"I'm sorry for you, boyr. You look
so much ashamed of yourselves. I'm
not mad nt you. boys. I'm not lull
ing you a bit, even when 1 come atouiul
with my hatchet. I'm treating you
Just as I would treat one of my own
boys If I found him with something
that would do him harm. Hut, bos,
you must not stay in this business any
longer. I give you fair warning. Just
you close up and get out of this busi
ness. You aru harming yourselves and
other boys, and X won't let you io
that. If you don't get out of this, boys,
I'll be around in a few days mid Just
break up your wicked HUlo shops for
you."
Saloon Men Moved.
Inoredlble as It may appear, the sa
loon men were strongly moved by the
talk Mis. Nation gave them. She '
nuant what she told them, she said,
awl they understand that. They Knew
that she was not resentful and did
not despise them, for they understood
how eager she was to make them
close their "Joints."
Mrs. Nation made a short talk to a
class at Washburn college this morn
ing, speaking to the boys about cigar
ettes and cigars. In the chapel of the
college a minister was speaking. Mrs.
Nation regarded him for a while, then
leaned over to a man near her and
said:
"Won't you ask the man on the stnge
lodet me speak to these boys about five
minutes? Ho's been giving them too
much chaff. I want to give them a
few grains of wheat." Hut she was
not permitted to talk.

Prior to the passage of the act Judge
Tat, president of the commission, said
the greatest pains had been taken In
tho preparation of the act. because the.
municipalities were units upon which
would be erected the general govern

Its enactment the l.'nltPil States com

the provincial government and the

The Provincial Bill.
The provincial bill provides for a
governor, secretary of the treasury,
supervisor and a fiscal. The olllcers
may be Americans or Filipinos. Tho
governor Is to be elected by the Joint
ballot of the councillors of the organ
ized pueblos (towns), and his election
must be continued by the Philippine
er.mmlsslon. The other provincial ofti-
cers will be appointed by the com-
mission under the restrictions or tne
civil service rules.
The governor may suspend any muni
cipal oilleer for misconduct, reporting
the farts to the commission.
The treasurer Is required to super
vise his assistants In all the pueblos
and to collect all taxes. The supervisor
will have charge of the roads and pub
lic buildings. The fiscal will be tb.
legal adviser of the provincial gncrn-
1 ment and the public prosecutor. The
law la to be applied llrst lo the prov
inces of Pnlou and Pampanga.
Captain Cameron and fifty Philip
pine cavalry had n fight Tuesday with
Instil gents at Bundoepuray and routed
them, killing twenty men and captur
ing a quantity of arms. Geronlmo was
present, but escaped. Minor captures
and surrenders continue In the Island
of Luzon. Many Filipinos are taking
tho oath of allegiance to the United
States.
The statement that the movement to
ward Protestantism In tho Philippines
is growing with astonishing rapidity Is
exaggerated. Tho Methodists, Presby
terians, Kplscopalians and British and
American Bible, societies have worked
in Manila and Its vicinity for two
years, and the membership of the four
Methodist missions Is 400. In a con

DEMOCRACY
A Member from Texas Takes Oc

REGARDING GOLD MEN
Tho Speaker Contends That They Do
Not Return, to a Menu of Husks
Like the Prodigal Son, but Again,

dy Exclusive Wire from The Associated Prcs.
Washington, Jan. 31. In the house
today, taking advantage of the lati
tude allowed In general debate on tho
fortification bill. Mr. Ianhaui, Texas,
rubinllted some remarks upon tlm
question of tli3 reorganization of tho
Democratic party. He was given a.
verv attentive hearing by his political
colleagues. He reviewed the lines ot
cleavage within the parly with a view
lo ascertaining whether there, was not
a ommon ground upon which the vari
ous elements In the party could be re
united for a future purpose. He of
fered his suggestions, he said lit a pa
eillc spirit to ascertain whether tho
fruit between the elements was Im
passable. The Gold Democrats, he said,
who bore none of the scars of battle
now wllh unbridled audacity, did not
I repose to return like the prodigal
son In humility, but they came ile
mr.udiug as a condition of their return
that they should head the procession.
They offered very freely their unso
licited advice. The talk of the reorgan
isation of the Democratic party, he
raid, was puerile and unkind, the talk
of changing the name of the party was
distasteful to the rank and file. The
Democratic party had suffered defeat
many times, but it would survive so
long ns free Institutions did.
Shelving Mr. Bryan.
The talk ot shelving Mr. Bryan, he
said, wus premature, lies had fallen
wllh his back to the field and his feet
to the foe. He was a splendid Ameri
can citizen and a Democrat. It was
tiiipiobablo that he ever -igaln would
ruplrc to the nomination, but It was
too early to discuss the candidates of
the future. He pointed to the strength
of the Republican party, which, he
K..iil, was founded upon the subversion
of the Individual to the main purposes
of the organization. Republicans dif
fered In preliminary skirmishes, but
they always were nulled when the
ri-jl shock of battle came. He referred
to the action of Senator Hoar as it
striking example and proof of this
fad.
He contrasted tho course of the Mas
sachusetts senator with that of Mr.
do vein nd. twice elected president by
the Democratic party, who in two
campaigns, subsequent to his own
election, turned his buck upon his old
party associates. Mr. Lr.nhnm said IP
Mr. fievelai'd and other Democrats.
whose gieat nblllllea im one could
deny, really believed that a defeat to
their party was necessary to bring it
back to Its old moorings, those who
had stood fast by the party's candi
dates and platform might show char
ity. Those of the DemocintH who had
left the party in ISSC, but who had re
turned In 1900 had been welcomed with
open arms. He had welcomed tho re
turn of Hill, Olnty, f'oclcran and tho
others who bad rallied to the rescue
of the republic In the recent cam
paign (Democratic). Divided the
Democrats could not succeed. The
party hod split upon the silver ques
tion. Hope Long Delayed.
Mr. Lanham pointed out that t
matter how firm the Silver Democrats
stood to their faith In the present
conditions, their hope of bimetallism
would be long delayed. If It should
turn out that the silver question
should not be a disturbing question In
the next convention, what obstacle
was there to a complete reunion'.' It
those who hud departed should return,
not to absorb, but to missociuto them
selves with us, said Mr. Lunhnni why
should they not be received. But they
must come prepared to subscribe) to
the cardinal doctrlno of the party
acqulesence In tho will of the ma
jority. Several verses which Mr. Lanham
received, exhorting the return of tho
prodigal son. raised a laugh on the
Hepublican side. He concluded as fol
lows: "To correct wrongs and restore te
the American people the Joys ot thep
salvation, the heritage the fathers gavo
us, la the mission of the Democratic
party. When called to such a service,
what man who over loved democracy
ran refrain to obey the summons? To
the execution of, this mission may wo
all devote every energy and Intlueneo
of which wo are capable nnd may It
engage all our powers to relnstata
Democratic supremacy In this great
republic."
Mr. Lanham was loudly applauded
by the Democrats when he concluded
and many of them personally con
gratuluted him.
