MEMORIAL SEBVIOE r ¦: -£U ' FOR QUEEN VICTORIA MULKEY. a' prepossessing womanrfatany shot herself .^fTy.\ yesterday afternoon in the Royal ,^""^ House v 126 Ellis street, and later *- : "-- '' passed away irf the McNutt Hos pital. The 'shooting is said, to have been an accident, tut .everything points to the ' fact that the girl committed suicide. • Miss Mulkey came here with her mother last Monday and they registered at the , Royal House under the name of Mr3. Mill- ; sap and daughter. .They are residents of Tacoma. Wash., and. came to this city to attend to some business- connected with Nome mining claims. E. E. Rosllng. an attorney of Tacoma. a friend and counsel for the women, arrived in this city a day previous to the coming of the mother and daughter and. he engaged rooms for them at the .Royal House. Mr. Rosllng said that he had called on' the' A mother, and daughter shortly before noon yesterday and made a report that was' not -satisfactory. -The daughter^was hysterical, and neither the mother nor the attorney could pacify her. Rosllng finally' left and returned in the afternoon. Miss Mulkey was still laboring under mental excitement and they again tried to .calm her. " The young woman was too wrought, up, however, and wildly begged, them to leave her In peace. Her mother and Mr. Rosllng-then left the room and had. hardly gone one hundred feet when j they heard; ft) pistol report. Both hurried back to th& apartment, and they found the young woman lying on the floor In a pool of blood and a pistol by her side. ' Dr. A. D.. McLean, whose offices were close by, was hurriedly "sent for and he did all he could xo stanch the flow of blood. . He found that ths bullet had en tered the right breast and passed through her body. The girl was sent In an ambu lance to the McNutt Hospital, but died shortly" after her arrival there. Mrs. • Mulkey was terribly shocked by her daughter's rash deed. She can only account for the tragedy by saying that her daughter was In a ; hysterical mood and shot' "herself accidentally. She said her daughter was a lovable £irl and ambitious. She had been to Nome and had secured a number of mining claims, which she hoped would make her independently rich and she would be able to pursue a course of study at college. Mrs. Mulkey said that the pistol used by her daughter had re posed under her pillow the night before. They' had been in the habit of carrying the revolver for protection. On Thursday night, she said, her daughter had, taken the weapon from its place of hiding and ' cleaned It.' During the cleaning process her daughter had handled the pistol with out fear and with such a disregard for her safety, that she (the mother) had tegged her to desist or she would leave the room. She knew her daughter was hysterical and that'. she. had received un- \ welcome news about .the business she had come to this 'city to transact, but she did not think if was sufficient to cause her, to take her life! Mr. Rosllng stated that he was in this city, on a' pleasure trip with his wlfei and that while' here was attending to litigation over the. claims owned /" by the young woman! :He Intended leaving for Tacoma last ¦¦ evening, I but : has changed his plans and will. remain. here until after the In quest. He said that his clients had come and * registered -under - the name ; of Mill sap, which " was .Mrs. : Mulkey's maiden name,-; to prevent; certain people knowing of their presence in this city.'- He declined to state what the, nature of the litigation was and advised Mrs. Mulkey, not to dis cuss the matter." '-'' ' ., The body was taken to the Morgue. The Mrs. Mulkey is a sister of former Sena tor Dolph of Oregon. Eleven years ago. through Senator Dolph's Influence. Mr. Mulkey was appointed an inspector of customs and stationed here. He assisted in running several bands of smugglers to earth, but in 1S34 was arrested and charged with being implicated with the so-called Lotan gang of Portland and Astoria in customs frauds. He was con victed and sentenced to prison. Power ful influence was brought to. bear in hi* behalf, with the result that he was par doned by President McKlnley about three years ago. He then went to Boundary Creek, a mining di3trict in British Colum bia, and later to Dawson. where he has made some money at mining. He cam* out this summer, returning just before navigation closed. Mrs. Mulkey received letters from him only a few days b«fore leaving for San Francisco. Eric E. Rosllngr. their attorney. Is on« of the best known lawyers In Tacoma. having formerly been a member and presi dent of the School Board. Tacoma friends of the Mulkeys did not know that they were interested in any litigation calling them to San Francisco. Susie Mulkey was 20 years old. She graduated from the Tacoma High School in June. 1898, and for a ttm» thereafter was High School librarian. Later she fitted herself to be a stenographer and in June last went to Cape Nome to accept a position as stenographer there. She re ceived a good salary and saved a Iargs part of, it. with which she hoped later to continue her education In California, or in the East. TACOMA. Jan. 23.— Not enough can b« learned hereto clear up the mystery sur rounding the suicide of Susan Mulkey la San Francisco to-day. The friends of the dead girl and her mother here do not know why they went to California. Two weeks ago a little girl living in the same hcuse at 514 North G street became sick and it was feared she had scarlatina. When the question of quarantining the house was raised Mrs. Mulkey made an urgent request that the quarantine be not established until she and her daughter got away. She said they had urgent business in Portland and must leave immediately. They departed for Portland about ten days ago. Their friends here were greatly surprised to learn to-night that they reg istered at San Francisco under another name. They think the object was to pre vent any knowledge of their business in San Francisco from reaching here. Actions cf the Mulkeys. Tacoma Folk Unable to Explain NO CLEW TO MYSTERY.

Several days ago she told OfScer Hubbard that the man decamped on Saturday last, taking with him several hundred dollars belonging to her. leaving her almost pen niless. She Intimated that she was con templating suicide. Edna Gray is said by the police to have been 28 years old a native of San Francisco. Her real name was Lena Ful ham and a few years ago she married 'a man named Mareno, who recently com mitted suicide. The police say that the woman's relatives have believed her to be dead for several years. father of the young woman Is well known In Washington an'd Oregon. He was Im mediately notified of his daughter's un timely death. A pitiful scene was witnessed when, Mr. Kelly, the dead girl's uncle, was called from the' Lick House to the place where his niece had killed herself.' He cried bit terly and had to. be led from, the room. When he became calmer he said he knew of no reason j why j his niece j should j have killed herself ; except that she was spondent through Illness. . .' - .The. fingers of the \ left hand of the dead girl were ! powder burned' and it Is evident that : she held the pistol in her right hand.' pulling , the ; trigger with her thumb, while she held the; muzzle . close to 'her' left breast. .-Both -Mr. and Mrs.' Ryan are of the pDlnlon/ that Miss O'Brien mu8t_have taken "/ the ; V revolver ., from the ; bureau dra^werln thelr.bedroom. some time during the . day.* j The weapon "was 3S-caliber, and Smith' & make.

Ryan's home, was sumoned, but he declared that death had been instantane ous. >Dr. Maguire notified the Coroner and the. body was removed to the Morgue. Mrs. Ryan saia. that Miss O'Brien was despondent and was crying on the street. They returned j to the house - and Miss O'Brien went, to her bedroom, while: Mr. and Mrs. Ryan retired to rest. A few minutes after they retired Mn and -Mrs. Ryan heard a muffled sound. Mrs. Ryan thought that the bed of Miss O'Brien had given way and asked her husband to see if the young lady wanted any help. He knocked at her bedroom door and, receiv ing* no -response, opened the door,, but found the room empty. Walking to the rear of the flat he opened the dining-room door ¦ adjoining . the kitchen and /was shocked to see the body of Miss O'Brien stretched on the ; floor . in death., Mr. Ryan's revolver lay by her side and a ter rible wou/id over the heart told the man ner of her death. • Miss O'Brim was the favorite .niece of D. Kelly, a mining man of Sonora, who is at present stopping at the Lick House. He defrayed all her 'expenses and since his arrival in San' Francisco has* been most assiduous In caring for the. young woman. Last ¦ evening he called at the house where she was staying and took her to fllnner at a downtown destaurant. She seemed In bright spirits during the meal and bade her uncle an affectionate good night when he took her home.' He did not see her again until he her body cold in d.eath in ,the room where she ended her life. That the young woman premeditated self destruction is shown by. the statements of Mr. and Mrs. Ryan, with whom she lived. Mr. Ryan, who is an employe of the San Francisco .Gas Company, said last night that he was the owner of the revolver with which Miss, O'Brien shot herself. He kept It in ' a bureau drawer in his bed room and had not used It for. many months.

' • DECLARE DESIB.E TO BE JOINED : IN MATRIMONY. Edward VII. who will be amply pro vided for by the country, and tne.Duka of York, who comes into the Duchy of Cornwall and will. be the Prince of Wales, will probably not be sharers In the laid Queen's private fortune. Estimates made b'v the best Informed persons in the financial field fix the valuo of Queen Victoria's private estate at something between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000. Parliament., uppn ,her. accession, granted her' $1,250 ,000. a,' year.. That sum, It was estimated, would- maintain the royal es tablishment and leave the sovereign $300. 000 f cr pocket money or personal expenses. Since the death of Albert, the Prince Consort, It Is asserted her Majesty ha 1 * saved $250,000 a year of. that sum. Th'.s money, together with Its Increment, has been Invested under '.he best advice that London, the financial center of the wond, could supply: 'Added to It and accumu lating each year. Is: the rum of $2,300,030, the private fortune of Ihe Prince Consorl. which was bequeathed to the Queen. She was also the -legatee of 'many admiring subjects, one of them deeding $2,500,000. It Is believed that one of the last acts cf .Queen Victoria was to signify a wish that the testimonial sent by the children of Canada should be handed over to the Royal Patriotic Commissioners | for tho benefit of the widows and orphans of sol diers,killed; In. South Africa. This desir-i was communicated to | the j commissioner* in a letter 'from the Colonial Office dated the day of -her death. The testimonial of the children of Canada conslcted of ths sum of £3399. .which Mr. Chamberlain for warded to the Royal Fatriotlc Commis sioners the day Queen Victoria died. COWES.

This proceeded until 1596, when her Majesty decided to have an entirely new documen' drawn, and with f?r eat personal care this was accomplished." Those in a position to make any sorr of a guess as to the provisions of the Queen's will declare that Princess Beat lice, widow of Prince Henry of Batten berg, will be . the principal beneficiary - She. Is the Governor cf the Isle of Wight and will probably* Inherit Osborne House and the whole, estate surrounding it. Then the Duke' of Connaught and his sons, who have been great favorites with Victoria, will, receive a large portion of he for tune. The Duke jWill probably become the owner of Balmoral and the Scottish property. Grandchildren who are expected to.re ceive the larcest bcauests are the two children of .Victoria's youngest son. the former Duke of Albany. The Queen's second daughter. Prlnces3 Christian of- Schloswig-Holstein, is not rich, and if is expected that she and her four children will be liberally provided for. • Ing. * . * '-' ' The House then adjourned until Febru- LONDON.

Lord -Haisbury. ¦««**-¦» h«r er^mUarr-WUUaLm-Oourt* Gully, read the message In the respective houses. It was as follows: "Edward, Rex— The Kine is fully as sured that the House of Commons will share the deep sorrow which has befallen his Majesty and the nation by the lament able death of his mother, the late Queen. Her devotion to the welfare of her coun try and her people and her wise ' and beneficent rule during the sixty-four years of her glorious' reign will ever be held In affectionate memory by her loyal and de voted subjects throughout the dominions of the British empire." In both houses the' galleries were filled i with a notable gathering of peeresses and j diplomats. Mr. Choate. United States Em- ; bassador; .Mr. White, secretary of the" .United States omliassy, and x-T. Chester. the^second secretary, and-thelr wives were : in the galleries of the House -of .Lords.. \ Lord Salisbury moved the reply to the King's mespage'in a speech full of emo-' tion. He said that In performing the sad dest duty that had ever fallen -to him he. was only echoing accents of sorrow deeper, than he had ever known of' this nation,' which had been called forth by the singu lar loss which, under the dispensation of Providence, they had suffered, and their, admiration of the glorious .reign and splendid character* of the sovereign they had lost. Being a constitutional monarch, with restricted powers, she had reigned not by sheer force of character, but by. the lovablcness of her disposition and by her hold on the hearts of her subjects. The example which she set of governing by love and esteem would never be forgot ten, nor how much she assisted In the elevation of her people by the simple con templation of her brilliant qualities as a wife, mother and woman. Her wonderful ability of observing with absolute strict-:, ness the. limits of her powers as a consti tutional sovereign and at the same time maintaining steady and persistent influ ence over the actions of her Ministers In spired the greatest admiration. She al ways maintained a rigorous supervision over public affairs, giving her Ministers the benefit of her advice and warning them of danger*. No Minister could d!s- i regard her views or press her to disregard them without feeling he had Incurred a great danger. She brought the country peacefully through a great change-from old to new England. She possessed ex- ' traordinary knowledge of what people think. In the House of Commons A. J. Balfour, First Lord of the Treasury and Govern ment leader, In moving the address In re ply to the message, said the House in all Its history had never met under sadder circumstances or with a clearer duty to express the universal \ sorrow extending f-om end to end of the empire. The sor row was felt not only as a national, but an Irreparable personal loss. It was hard yet to realize the magnitude of the blow which had fallen on the country- In the whole history of the British monarchy there had never been a case in which the national grief had been so deeply Eeated. In moving a double response of condol ence and congratulation Mr. Balfour said they had unfailing confidence that the great Interests committed to the new sov ereign were safe in his keeping. Sir Henry Canipbell-Bannerman, the Liberal leader, - seconded the motion, which was adopted, the' members stand- Message - Sent by Kiag F4ward . to President HcKlnley. WASHINGTON.

Queen Alexandra, the Princess and the children were recalled, and with lingering steps and stifled sobs they passed f lowly before the white robed nr.d peaceful figure. At the foot, never moving, stood the King, and when the mourning crowd had passed- there re mained only the son and the grandson of th* dead. Err.peror William wept even more bit terly than the* royal ladle*. • Finally he also retired and the King was left alone.

For a few ' seconds '. the King stood ¦ep«»echless. -etricken with emotion at the last farewell.. Then he said .quickly: '•Close It finally. It must not be opened eg-ain." Thus the remains of England's greatest rul<°r were forever closed from human view. Reverently , the coffin was borne into the dining-room. Officers and men fr^m ' the royal yachts took their stand around the coffin, over which the King, Queen and Kaiser gently laid the robes of a Knight of the Garter, placing at the head a diamond crown. Beneath lay the royal ensign, while hanging above was the union Jack. At the altar was the rector of Whip p!rgham, who read a portion of the fu neral service In the presence of the royal fain!!}*. Emperor William covered his fare with his hands and the grief of Prin cess Beatrice was pitiful. After the bene diction each placed a 'wreath upon the coffin and then all retired. According to a rumor circulating at Os borne. King Edward desires himself to be styled "his Imperial Majesty." in order to emphasize the face that he Is Emperor as well as King.

"When' he first entered Snake's house there were but three people there. In less than twenty minutes' time forty .light horsemen, In dians of Snake's" band, gathered. They were all heavily' armed, but offered no bodily harm to the officers. The Indians had been picketed round about, evidently, to protect their chief or to give warning of an attack.

United States Marshal Bennett has cap tured the 17-year-old son of Chief Snake, and has notified the latter that the boy would be held as a hostage until the In dians surrendered. The Indians have so far refused to surrender, and* to-day are holding two councils, near Brlstow and Rush Hill. A dispatch from Bristow this morning states that the threatened attack on that town had not yet begun, but that the citizens were continuing to arm them selves and prepare for an emergency.
