Mrs Carrie Nation began her crusade here to day by demolishing a saloon and delivering a street speech. After a temperance meeting at the home of C. B.

From the refrigerator she took out cases of beer and cracked each bottle. She kept up .the work uatil Marshal W. R Benham finally entered arid taking her by the sleeve told her she must get out. "What are you," sbe demanded, "but murderer and perjurer in pro tecting this unholy traffic?" She then'started for the other saloon, but it was well barricaded and offered no plate glass for her to attack. She finally went home with her compan ions. She said she expects to clean out many more places. It is reported that she will move on Abiline to morrow and the saloon keepers are preparing for her coming.

GREAT FIRE IN MONTREAL. The Board of Trade Building aod Other Properly Destroyed-Losa Estimated at Nearly $3,000,000. By Teleirxaph to the Horning Btar. Montreal. P. C, January 24, 1 A. M. One of the most disastrous fires from which this city has ever suffered began at 8 o'clock last night, and not withstanding the efforts of tbe entire fire department, the progress of the flames were not checked until 1 o'clock this morning. Bf that time it had destroyed property valued at between $2,500,000 and 13.000,000 and was still burning, though tha appearance was that the firemen have at last got it under control. Included in the property burned is the splendid Board of Trade building, which cost over half a million dollars, Jjad over a hundred tenants, and half a dozen large firms and two sores of smaller ones. .The weather was cold and the firemen were greatly ham pered in this respect. Outside of tbe Board of Trade building, there was not a modern structure among those burned. The narrow streets, antiquated build ings and the inflammable nature of tbe stocks they contained mad a com bination which the department was ' powerless to overcome. . The fire practically burned until it came to an open space which gave the firemen an opportunity for effective work. For a time it looked as if the flames would spread along Commis sioners street to tbe grand office build ing in course of erection there. Numerous crowds of people iammed tbe narrow streets and the police could not-control them. Women fainted and their clothes were torn and a few were slightly injured in rushes for safety. - Lire and Death Fight. Mr.WA.

THE NATION IN MOURNING. Last Moments of Queen Victoria Words of Farewell to Members of Her Fam ilyWill Be Burled at Frog more Beside Prince Consort. Bv Cable to the Morning Btar. Osborne House Gates, Isle of Wight, January 22. 7.05 P. M. When the following bulletin announced that the Queen was sinking all the waiters at the gates of Osborne House, made up their minds to remain to the end. The cold was intense and a few favored ones sought shelter in the royal lodge, just inside, where they waited in abso lute silence. The telephone bell rang at 7.04 P. M., but before a royal ser vant had time to take the message the chief of the Queen's police emerged from the daifcness and with bared head, said: "Gentlemen, the Queen passed away at 6 30." All present reverently uncovered and then shrill whistles and the ring ing of the bells of the bicycles in waiting were tbe signals for messen eers to race to Cowes with the news. In a few moments tbe place was de serted. Simultaneously mounted mes sengers, on white horses, dashed from Osborne. ' On arrival at Cowes the corre spondents found the news known both at East and West Cowes, fifteen min utes before it had been announced to those in waiting. Cowes, Jan. 22. The Queen is said to have bid farewell in feeble mono syllables to her family assembled at ber bedside at mid day. She first rec ognized the Prince of Wales, to whom she spoke a few words of great mo ment; then Emperor William and the others present filed past and heard a whispered good bye. All those in the bedroom were in tears With the members of the royal fam ily gathered at tbe Queen's bedside, the Bishop of Winchester and the rector of Whippingham' read prayers for those in extremis. Naturally the family insisted that the details of the events around the death bed should be sacred for the present, and imposed the strictest secrecy on the whole household. London, January 23, 1.05 P. M. Absolute silence reigned to-night in the vicinity of Buckingham Palace and Marlborough House. A small bill, signed "Balfour," was posted outside, announcing the demise of the mon arch, i Everywhere to night the one topic of conversation was what, would happen under the new reign. Much interest was evinced in the way in which the immense fortune of the dead Queen would be distributed, the general opin ion being that Osborne House would go to Princess Beatrice and that sbe and Princess Christiana would come in for a considerable portion of Victo ria's wealth. Tbe probability that King Edward will take up a practically permanent residence in Buckingham Palace was much canvassed. This is a question that comes very much home to Lon doners. Queen Victoria's preference for Balmoral Castle and Osborne House has been a complaint of long standing in the metropolis; and it is hoped that the new reign will see a change in this respect. The presence of the court in London would give a brightness and gaiety which have been absent.' Not until Queen Victoria has been laid to rest beside the Prince consort, at Frogmore, will tbe theatres or music balls re open.. Moreover, busi ness will come to a practical stand still. The music in the hotels and public places has ceased. Fashionable resorts were empty, and very few of the night habitues were in evidence. The St. James, Princess and other prominent restaurants, had already discarded alluring colors for sombre black. Shortly before midnight an official announcement was issued calling Parliament to assemble at 4 o'clock this (Wednesday) afternoon to enable members of the House of Lords and House of Commons to take the oath of allegiance to King Edward VII. Telegrams arriving from all parts of the country re-echo the deep feeling of sorrow pervading all classes. These snow that everywhere bells have been tolled and public performances and private functions suspended. The privy council will meet in London to-day and the proclamation of the King will occur thereafter, at all places required by custom. The King will come to London to preside over the council. Cowes, Isle op Wight, January 23. Events have shifted from Cowes to London.- Osborne is a bouse of mourn ing and Cowes is probably tbe quietest place in the United Kingdom to day. The King departed early. After him followed the army of officials and n j wspaper correspondents. The King's departure was as unostentatious as that of an American president. He and his suite, in civilian attire, left the castle without a military escort and with no sign of pomp. Queen Victoria s body was em balmed last evening and occupies the center of the dining room, which is hung with trappings of mourning, Outside two officers are on guard. Within, two Indian attendants remain in com pa y with tbe ladies in waiting who are constantly present. The body is attired in black. The face is perfectly peaceful and the re mains have been placed with the arms folded. On the breast rests a beauti ful gold cross. The head is inclined sliehtlv to the right.' All about re- oos.e Quantities of beautiful flowers. The honor of first seeing the body of tbe Queen was conferred on her per sonal retinue. All tne servants ana tenants were admitted. They filed through the room for four hours, There were no formalities. Their grief the sorrow of those who bad lost was a friend. Many residents of Cowes and neighboring towns and some prominent people applied at the porter's lodge for admission, but they were told to come to morrow. Emperor William and Princess Louise (tbe 'Duchess of Argyll) walked to Whippingham church this afternoon. Unless the King otherwise directs. it is orobable that the Queen's body will be taken on board the royal yacht Alberta to morrow for conveyance to Windsor. Orders have , been sent to Windsor to prepare the apartments for royal arrivals. Emneror William has ordered in London two macrniflcent wreaths, with broad ribbons bearing the initials of himself and the Emnress. which be will personally place on the Queen's coma at to morrow's service. . lis a special request of the family, the authorities of St. Paul's Cathedral have sent to Osborne the six candelabra used at the funeral of the Duke of Wellington.

The King drove to St. James' Palace. from Marlborough House, to nreside at the first Privy Council, by way of Marlborough House yard, tbe mall and the garden entrance of the palace. lie was attended by Liord Suffield (who has been lord of the bed chamber to the Prince of Wales since 1872), and was escorted oy a captain's escort of the Horse Guards.. The procedure was exactly as on levee days. In the throne room the privy councillors had gathered in great numbers, in levee dress with crape on their left arms cabinet ministers, peers, com moners, bishops, judges, the Lord Mayor, etc.. includin&r the Duke of York, the Duke of Connaugbt and lesser members of the royal family. Lord Salisbury, Lord Rosebery, A. J. calf our, the Duke of Devonshire. Lord Strathcona, and Mount Royal, and a host of the most prominent personages in the land, were there to receive the King's formal oath, to govern the kingdom according to its laws and cus toms, and hear him assume the title of King Edward VII. of Great Britain and Ireland and Emperor of India. The Ceremony Was Interesting and according to precedent. The King was in a separate apartment from the privy councillors. To the latter the Duke of Devonshire, Lord President of the Council, formally communicated the death of Queen Victoria and the succession to the throne of her son, the Prince or Wales. The royal dukes, with certain lords of the council, were then directed to repair to the King's presence to acquaint him with the terms of the Lord President's statement. 8hortly afterwards His Majesty en tered the room m which the council lors were assembled and addressed the council in a brief speech. Mingling with the royal dukes and great person ages of the kingdom were a few in plain clothes, to represent the fact that the general public have a nominal right to be present. The King wore a field marshal s uniform and the ribbon of the Order of the Garter. His voice at first was painfully broken with emo tion. " King Edward in his speech said he had decided to assume the title of King Edward VII., in accordance with tbe wish of his beloved mother. who. His Majesty added, united the virtues of a supreme domestic guide with tbe affection and patriotism of a wise, peace-loving monarch. He had a respectful desire to leave the memory of his father's name, Albert, the exclusive treasure of his beloyed mother. For notwithstanding his per sonal desire, he could not hope to do justice to the renown and virtues associated with Prince Albert's name, but he would do his utmost to be worthy of his great position. The Liord Chancellor, (Lrord Salis bury.) then anministered the oath of the King. Afterwards the various members of the council, commencing with lords in council, took the oath of allegiance and then passed in turn before His Majesty, as at a levee, except that each paused and kissed the Kings hand before passing out of the cham ber.

ATTACKED NAVIGATION LAWS Holding That These Laws Are Responsi ble for Decadence of the Merchant Marine The Beneficiaries of the Measure. By Telegraph to the Mernlng Btar. Washington, January 23. Consid eration of the Shipping Subsidy bill was resumed this afternoon by the Senate. It was made the unfinished business, thus restoring it to its privi leged position. - I Senator Vest, Missouri, took the floor immediately and in a characteristic. brilliants-forceful and interesting speech lasting nearlybiehoursT-he vigorousljrattaeked the navigation laws of the United States, holding that they were responsible for the deca dence of the merchant marine of America. Senator Rawlins, Democrat, Utah, precipitated a lively colloquy by charging that a deal bad been entered into between the Republican membets of the Utah Legislature and certain railroad interests and the officials of the Mormon Church to secure the election of Thomas L. Kearns to the Senate from that State. Senator Rawlins.Utah. discussed the senatorial situation in Utah. He re ferred to newspaper statements that a deal had been entered into between certain Republicans and the Mormon Church, to bring about the election of Thomas L. Kearns. "Such a deal,'" said Senator Rawlins, "would cast in famy and disgrace upon the State." Senator Mail maintained that it was not fitting that the Senate should in quire into senatorial contests in the va rious States before an election was effected. The Shipping bill was proceeded with. Senator Vest. ' Missouri, ad dressed tbe Senate in opposition to the measure and in favor of free ships. which he has advocated consistently for years. As a member of the Com mittee on Commerce, he said, the pending measure had come really from a committee of promotion com posed of twenty-five prominent and intelligent men appointed by the junior Senator from Maine, Senator Frye. "The chairman of this com mittee of promotion," said the Mis souri senator, "is Clement A. tiris com, president of the International Navigation Company, a man of high character, of great intelligence and of indefatigable energy. The company which he represents is by far the largest beneficiary under this bill. Not one member of that committee of promotion is in favor of an Ameri can buying his ships where he can buy them the cheapest and then sailing them under the flag of his country. Its members are unanimously in favor of the obsolete, infamous and outrage ous navigation laws of the United States, which are a stain on the stat utes of the United States and which for fifty years have been riding to death tbe merchant marine of this country." Senator v est referred to tbe advo cacy of the measure by, Mr. Eugene Chamberlain, the present commis sioner of navigation, who, he said, had been.appointed to bis present of fice by Mr. Cleveland, and had signal ized the assumption of his duties by his advocacy of free ships. Now, he said, Mr. Chamberlain was vigorously in favor of the subsidy legislation. He intimated that this was the opinion of a man oij'v who drifted with the cur rent. Senator Vest said that our merchant marine had continued to decline since 1855. He declared that the policy pro posed by the pending bill was one of "barbaric exclusion." lie thought the people at large had done enou gh for the northeastern coast, without contribut ing $180,000,000 more to build up its ship industry. Senator Vest ridiculed the claim that tbe bill is intended to provide auxili ary cruisers in time of war. He con tended that bounties are unconstitu tional, but to give it to great corpora tions was "naked robbery under the guise of law." Senator Vest said that the vessels of what is known as the American Line (the International Navigation Com pany), in the course of the twenty years the subsidy was to run would re ceive at least $42,000,000 of the total which would be paid out. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company, he said, would be the next beneficiary under the bill. With its present ships and the two vessels it was building now, it would receive $560,000 a year of the subsidy. "The next poor, emaciated, starving corporation that will receive a subsidy under this bill," said Senator Vest, sarcastically, , "is the Standard Oil Company." Laughter. He be lieved a trust would be formed for con trol of all this American shipping a trust that would get every dollar of the subsidy. "Everything in the country is under a trust," said the Mis souri Senator, "from the cradle to the grave." The Republicans, he asserted, dared THE SICK ARE JADE WELL, And the Weak are Restored to Fall Vigor and Strength at the Hands or the Great est Healer of Modern Times.
