SHE LIBELED HER SON-IN-LAW Complains of the ‘njustice of Her Treatment. IN COURT EXCITING SCENE LONDON, January §—Lady Selina Scott, the mother-in-law of Earl Russell, who. through counsel, pleaded guilty yesterday in the central criminal . ourt of criminally Libeling his lordship in conjunction with John Cockerton, en engineer, and William Aylott, a valet, was sentenced this morn- ing to eight months’ imprisonment without bard labor. Cockerton and Aylott, who also pleaded guil terday, received sim- ilar sentences today Lady Scott, accompanied by her daughter, Countess Russell, entered the court room an early hour. They were both stylishly dresse1 in black, and, pending the opening of court, walked up and down the corridor, the daughter having an arm around her mother’s waist. Both ladies were painfully nervous, and Lady Scott was heard to re- mark: “I do not dread going to prison; but I feel the injustice of the way I have been be i the court room Those present There was only skortly vere principals one woman spi ir Frank Lockwood, for Earl Russell, In a brief spec 1 that all ground for doubts as to his lordship’s cha’ acter be removed. and counsel for Lady Scott, addressing the court in turn, said that her ladyship would undertake never to blish the libels, and he appealed to the Judge the daughter of her mother’ Counsel then asked permission for his client to make a state- Lady Scott's Statement. Thereupon Lady Scott read an address saying that she accepted any punishment the judge would giye her for the sake of honest, suffering women, believing that the men in the dock and the dead man (Fred- rrick Kast), the groom, who died of con- sumption in Holloway jail, where he was zenfined as one of the three male defend- ants, had told the truth. Cont'nuing, her ladyship said she trust- ed that no one in the court room, including the judge. would ever see her daughter suffer. Her only fear was that her daugh- er would be followed by detectives, and that something would happen to her. Lady Scott was very nervous and trem- bling, but she read her statement clearly. Justice Hawkins summed up in a lucid manner.

The redhot fight over the funding biil is beginning to interest every representative, and the various elements which have lately crept Into the fight have been favorabl, it is said by leading members of both par- ties, to the anti-funding men. One of these elements was the disappearance of $4,000,- 000 of accounts, as told in The Star. This has cast a great deal of suspicion upon other transactions and is likely to have a strong bearing on the final vote in the House. Like nearly everything else connected with the business of these roads, the man- ner of the disappearance of the accounts is a mystery, and that probably prevents a more wholesale denunciation of the methods of the roads than is now antici- pated. Representatives who were talk. to today by Star reporters did not feel like giving thelr opinions about a trangaction of which so little is yet unknown. They characterized the whole business as very funny, however. Representative Shafroth of Colorado said it_was difficult to get to the bottom of an affair like this. The opinion is growing, as stated in The Star yesterday, that there is a strong to defeat the bill in the House next Monday. Representative Bell of Texas, one of the best posted men on the bill in the House, said to a Star r>porter today: “Seme time ago I thought the bill would go through the House easily, but sentiment is changing. If the bill passes now it will be by a small majority, and many mem- hers tell me that it will be defeated.” Representative Walker, republican, of Virginia, said the impression he gathered was that the bill would be defeated in the Howse. “I think the bill will be defeated,” said Representative Swanson of Virginia, ‘and it Gught to be beaten. A similar opinion was expressed by Rep- resen: ve Hendrick of Kertucky and many others. Representatives Piue and Loey, leading republicans of the House, said the bill would be beaten. The Caitfornia members, who are making such a strong fight, are hopeful of the de- feat of the bill. They are making con- verts every day, as much by personal work as otherwise. Believes They Can He Forced. Representative Broderick of Kansas was almost positive that the bill will be de- feated. “if it is defeated,” he said to a Star reporter, “‘and the government begins foreclosure proceedings something will drop pretty soon. The roads will make more favorable offers to the government when they see that the government proposes to take care of its interests.” = Representative DeWitt be beaten. The opinion is expressed by influential men that three out of five members of the House will vote against the bill. California's Legislature. Representative Hilborn of California pre- sented to the House today the following telegram received from Sacramento, Cal., and signed by Governor James H. Budd and Chief Clerk Duckworth of the Califor- nia legislature: ‘The following joint resolution was this day adopted by the California legislature: Whereas there is now pending in Con- gress a measure known as the Powers- Gear bill, which has for its object the re- funding of the debts of certain govern- ment-aided railroads, and whereay any scheme for refunding the Pacific roalroad’s indebtedness to the United States govern- ment, or any extension for the time of Payment of the same must result in main- taining an excessive capitalization of these roads, thus requiring a high rate of fare and freight to meet the payment of in- id the bill would The incident caused a great sensation.

WATSO: Arguments Heard by House Elections Committee No. 1 ‘Today. Arguments in the election contest of Thos. E. Watson, late candidate for Vice President on the populist ticket, against James C. Black of the tenth congressional district of Georgia, were begun today be- fore house elections committee No. 1. It was expected Mr. Watson would be pres- ent, but he did not put in an appearance. The sitting member, Judge Black, was among those who heard the arguments of a formidable areay of counsel, Messrs. Gress, West, Glenn and Rountree appear- ing for Watson, and Messrs. Cummings, Lamar, Cohen and Wright for Black. Mr. Glenn, tn behalf of Watson, argued that the entire vote of the city of Augusta should be thrown out, because of a number of alleged irregularities in registration and ballot boxes, lack of representation on the boards, etc. In behalf of Black the entire regularity of the election was argued by Mr. Cummings, who maintained that the entire theory of Watson’s case that a widespread conspiracy of fraud ex- isted was not justified by the facts. The committee is not likely to vote on the con- test for the present. The arguments took a wide range, going into the general political conditions of the south and the progress of the populist party. Mr. Glenn contended that Watson exemplifies this new element which had turned its back on the old regime repre- =< by the wealth and aristocracy of the south. The latter element looked upon the new- comers as revolutionists, and every pow- er of the old machine, he said, was di- rected toward crushing them. While con- ceding Representative Black's personal in- tegrity, Mr. Glenn asserted that Mr. Black was a beneficiary of the methods employed by the old regime of the south to perpetuate its power.

SENSATIONAL INTERRUPTION ——— CANTERBURY, Eng., January 8—The Right Hon. and Most Reverend Frederick Temple, D.D., was enthroned today in the cathedral here ¢s archbishop of Canterbury and primate of all England. 3 The approaches to the cathedral were thronged, and the fine old edifice was filled: with spectators soon after the doors were opened, at 10:15 a.m. An hour later the doors of the cathedral and precincts were closed. A moment or so afterward the mandate for the enthronement was pre- sented by the vicar general to the Chapter of Canterbury in the treasury. After this ceremony the chapter proceeded to the deanery and conducted the archbishop to the great west door, through the cloisters, where a procession was formed, headed by the bedesmen and the high seneschal, the municipal representatives, the military and county representatives and others. There were three to four hundred clergy- men, headed by twenty-five bishops, in the procession. Lady Churchill represented the queen and the Hon. Evelyn Cecil repre- sented the Marquis of Salisbury. The dean of Canterbury, the Rev. F. W. Farrar, walked on the right hand of the archbishop, and the vice dean walked on the distinguished prelate’s left. The archbishop was attired in full arch- lepiscopal robes, his long scarlet train being borne by two boys, king’s scholars of the cathedral school. They wore, according to immemorial custom, surplices of pure white linen, yellow sandals and little purple caps. Immediately behind the trainbear- ers walked the elght chaplains of the arch- bishop, the number he {s allowed by law to “retain and qualify,” two more than the statutory allowance of a duke. Following them came the long and varied procession of ecclesiastics, the most of whom wore their robes. Slowly they filed into the various seats assigned them, and hardly had the last of them taken their places when the aug- mented choir burst forth into the “Halle- lujah Chorus,” which was taken up by the vest congregation that crowded every space from wall to wall and door to door. The music ceased as suddenly a3 it be- gan, when all were in their appointed places, the bishops being seated near tae holy table and the archbishop occupying the stall of the archdeacon of Canterbury, adjoining the throne. Contrary to precedent, the enthronement was proceeded with immediately. The ar general presented the mandate for enthronement to the a hdeacon, who sed it to be read aloud by a notary pib- The mandate was then executed. The al hdeacon escorted the archbishop to the a iepiscopal throne, made him sit down saying, in Latin: I, George Rodney Eden, archdeacon cf Canterbury, by the authority which I en- icy, do induct, install and enthrone thee, most ‘verend father in Christ, Frederick, by Divine Providence archbishop of Canter- bury, into the archbishopric and archiepis copal dignity of Canterbury, and into th: real, actual and corporal possession of the sald archbishopric of Canterbury, and cf the rights, dignities, honors, pre-eminence and all things pertaining to the same, aad may the Lord guard thy coming and thy going out Amen.” The dean then read the morning prayer, and at its conclusion the archbishop was conducted to the marble chair, accomps nied by the archdeacons of Canterbury the venerable Benjamin F. Smith, M.A., and the Right Reverend George R. Eden, D.D., attended by the dean of ¢ nterbury, the Rev. F. W. rrar, and the vice dean. fhe Marble Chatr. The marble chair, known as the patriar- chial throne, is said to have been used by St. Augustine, and in it during many cen- turles the archbishops of Canterbury have been enthroned. In the ancient ceremony the prior of the Christ Church, taking the archbishop in his arms, placed him in the chair while the monks chanted the Benedictus, which was followed by the ceiebration of the mass of the Holy Trinity. On this pcca- sion the archdeacon of Canterbury seated the archbishop in the marble chair, re- peating the formal words of the install- ment and enthrorement. ‘The archbishop then knelt and made his private devotions, after which he was con- ducted through the middle of the choir to the dean’s stall, the archdeacon saying, in Latin: “We place thee, most reverend father, in this seat, as a sign of thy real possession therecf.”” The choir afterward sang the Te Deum in English and the archdeacon sang certain versicles, to which the choir replied. The ceremony ended with the saying of henceforth, now and forever. a collect by the archdeacon, commending the new prelate to the care of the Al- mighty. The procession was then reformed and the archbishop was conducted, as before, through the nave and cloisters to the chap- ter house, where the archdeacon placed the archbishop in the principal seat, saying in Latin: “We assign thee this seat, most reverend father in God.” Sensational Interruption. There was a dramatic incident as the archbishop was traversing the nave at the end of the procession. A voice shouted loudly: “The whole proceedings are a fraud.” The interruption came from an elderly gentleman of clerical appearance. He was speedily and forcibly ejected, amid con- siderable excitement. 2 The spectators at first thought that the disturber was the Rev. Mr. Brownjohn, the clergyman who protested against the confirmation of the archbishop in the church of St. Mary-le-Bow, London, on December 22, claiming, ineffectually, ‘that the archbishop should not be confirmed, as he was a believer in Darwin's theory of evolution. But it developed that the name of the interrupter today is Green- wood and he is not a clergyman. Promise of Obedience. After the oath to maintain the sights of the Church of Canterbury had been admin- istered upon the Holy Gospel, the ceremony was terminated by the dean, the residen- tlarles, the honorary canons and all the ministers of the church, in their accustom- ed order, promising obedience to the arch- bishop.. ‘The form of enthronement adopted today differed in several respects from that used in recent times, and was in some respects similar to that used upon the occasion of pies enthronement of Archbishop Wake in Later in the afternoon the dean and ter entertatained the new “Arciitne 3 Canterbury and a numerous company at lunchecn in the Ubrary of the cathedral.

The archbishop of Can- terbury has always beld pre-eminent au- therity over the whole kingdom. This is marked in the titles which the resvective archbishops assume. Both are primates. But the Archibishop cf York is simply calied primete of England. The Arch- bishop of Canterbury, on the other hand, is primate of all Englang. It is also indicated by their relative rights of precedence. The Archbishop of Cantefbury has precedence over all the nobility,; save those of royal blood; the lord chancellor comes next, and then the Archbishop of York. Though the Archbishop of Canterbury is the sa head of the Church of Eng- land, the nominal and secular head is at present Queen Victoria. The reason why thg Archbishop of Canterbury is the priest- ly head of that church is that his special diocese is the cradle of English Christianity. It was here the authofity of the pope over England was transferred during the ref- ormation to the Episcepal Church, Henry VIII then being the king. The new Archbishop of Canterbury is one of the most advanced liberals among English churchmen. He is a professed ad- vocate of Darwin's theory of evolution, and upon the occasion of his confirmation as Archbishop of Canterbury,in the Church of St. Mary-le-Bow, London, December 22, a Rev. Mr. Brownjohn made an ineffectual protest against Dr. Temple's confirmation, on the ground of the latter's belief in the theory of evolution. The Archbishop of Canterbury, who was born in 1821, has been, successively, head master of Rugby, Bishop of Exeter, and, re- cently, Bishop of London. He took a double first-class at Oxférd, and married a daugh- ter of the Right Hon. W. S. Lascelles. _——_ CREEDE AND WIFE SEPARATE. They Were Uncompanionable and Agreed to Live Apart. LOS ANGELES, Cal., January 8—W. C. Creede, the millionaire miner, who the town of Creede, Col., is named for, and his wife have separated and agreed to dis- solve at once, as far as possible without legal process, the marital bonds. A stipu- Jation was drawn and signed several days ago by which Mrs. Creede accepted $20,- 000 cash in hand and surrendered all further claim upon her husband, at the same time voluntarily withdrawing from his home in this city. After the necessary period of time has elapsed Mr. Creede will institute proceed- ings and begin suit for absolute divorce on the grounds of desertion, that being part of the agreement. Mr. Creede gave as & reason for the sep- aration that he and‘his wife were uncom- panionable, and a separation was courted by both. Several months ago Mr. and Mrs. Creede adopted the infant daughter of Edith Wal- ters Walker, the actress, who was deserted by her husband. Mn Creede will continue to care for the child, ac his wife said she did not care to be bothered with her. ——s—__ BAUMAN'S ALLEGED CONFESSION. New York Police Do Sot Attach Mu Importance to It.

Asserts Ownership to Forty-Two Acres in the Heart of Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, Mo., January 8.—Josepn Boulanger, a half-breed Osage Indian, is here from Elgin, Kan., and announces that he wili immediately bring suit to recover forty-two acres of land in the heart of Kansas City, now worth between forty and fifty million dollars. The land was bought by the government in 1832 from Collise Montardeau, a French trader, who was the grandfather of the present claimant. Bou- langer is a prosperous farmer, and has lived in Elgin for years. On March 19, 189%, Boulanger read in a Kansas City paper of the filing of the pat- ent granted to Collise Montardeau by Pres- ident Andrew Jackson, whose signature was affixed by A. J. Donelson, his secre- tary. The land was paid for at the land oifice in Lexington, Boulanger claims that his grandfather, being ignorant of legal forms, had never filed the patent, and that the transfers of the property since then have been invalid. He has since secured power of attorney from all the other heirs, mostly his cous- ins, and is now determined to push his claim. The property holds the largest building in Kansas City.

Gobin, com- mander of the 3d Brigade of Pennsylvania troops, about extortionate rates being charged in Washington at inauguration time was correct so far as the prices asked for horses was concerned. Several times Pennsylvania and other officers have been charged $10 per day for horses to ride in the parade, and provided their own trap- pings. He said that $ was a sufficient price for such service, and he believed the inaugural committee should get liverymen and others who have horses to hire on in- auguration day to agree upon this sum us the general charge. Pension Building Arrangements. The arrangement of the rooms at the pension building for use on inauguration night is being made by Secretary Brackett, representing Chairman Bell, and Chief Clerk McCoy of the pension office, repre- senting Pension Commissioner Murphy. When the details are completed and the assignment of apartments decided upon the plan to be followed will be made public. Coming From New Jersey. Mayor Seymour of Newark, N. J., has notified the civic committee that the Indian Republican League and the Garret A. Ho- bart Club of that city are making prepara- tons to participate in the inaugural parade. The Hudson county delegation from Ho- boken and Jersey City will bring from 300 to 500 men, well uniformed, and a band of thirty pieces. Chairman Wright of public comfort has registered accommodations for 17,030 peo- ple and also, besides this, places. where 8,300 people can secure meals. Col.

Wilkinson, has come from Shanghai to assist the Yoko- hama crown prosecutor, H. C. Litch- field. Sixty British residents of Yoko- hama have been summoned for the jury. Five only will be actually needed, but counsel on both sides are expected to ex- creise great discrimination. The case promises to be one of the most sensational on record. From Thibet to Pekin. Two English officers, Captain Welby of the 18th Hussars and Lieutenant Malcom of the 23d Highlanders, who left Leh in Ladakh last April, to travel from Thibet to Pekin, reached the Chinese capital on the 2d ef December, having been eight months en route. At starting they had a retinue arraga and their equipment was packed on thirty-nine mules. On arrival in Pekin they had three arragans and three mules, the men having deserted or died, and the animals perished. They passed through western and north- ern Thibet and met with much kindness and hospitality at the hands of the Mon- golian tribes. Regatta on the Sumida.

Despite the inclemency of the season the citizens of the capital and its suburbs at- tended in tens of thousands to witness the races. The emperor himself was there, and in the off'cers’ race each of the three boats were steered by an imperial prin Alleged Grant to Germany. The confidently circulated news that a site had been granted to Germany for an independent settlement in Shenghai turns out to be incorrect. Germany has not sought any such concession. The rumor is sup- posed to have owed its origin to the fact that negotiations for an extension of the general settlement have been passing through the hands of the German consul general, Dr. Steubet, who happens to b the senior fcreign consul in Shanghai at present. : A rumor comes from Chinese sources that a party of roughs in the city of Lanchow, in Anhui province, recently seized the Ro- man Catholic priest of the district, com- pelling him by murderous threats to bow hefore a local idol and sign a document. the contents of which are not stated. It is believed that the French cruiser Alger, carrying the French admiral and the French consul general in Shanghai, has proceeled to Nankin to exact reparation.

Chairman Cannon of the House commit- tee on appropriations admitted to a Star reporter this morning that his committee is considering the oceupaton of the public uildings now being completed, as told in The Star yesterday. This includes the post 7 nd the library buildings. Mr. Can- aid, however, that the investigations of the subject had not gone far enough to warrant any member in saying that a ce tain thing would or would not be dene. No conciusion, he said, had been reached. It is understood that it is the desire of the committee to save rentals wherever possible, and this fact led to the talk about placing the geological survey in the library ouilding: Librarian Spofford talked with a Star re- porter about the facts that have come to light. “I have talked with some of the members of the committee,” he said, “and they disclaim any intention to place any bureaus or clerical forces in the library building aside from the library force, but they think there might be other uses to which the vacant space might be put. The committee desires information about the amount of space which might be used for other purposes. As I understand the mat- ter now, it is all in the air.” Mr. Spofford said he had no idea that anything would be done which could not properly be carried on in the library build- ing. He was certain, he said, that any- u.ing which wouid interfere with the work of the library would be opposed and could not be carried out. “The library ouilding,” he concluded, “was built, first +nd last, solely for the uses of a great gov- ernment library.” Representative Amos Cummings said he thought there was plenty of vacant room in the library building which could be utilized in numerous ways without inter- fering with the work for which the build- ing was designed. The building, he said, weuld allow more than enough room for the Congressional Library for fifty years. He thought there was room enough for the geological survey. Senator Proctor of Vermont: “I have not Icoked into the proposition that the Post Cffice Department be permitted to occupy a portion of the library building, but speai ing from first impressions, I’ should say that the library bullding should be used orly for library. purposes. Senator Gibson of Maryland: “By no means should the library building be vsed for any purpose except that contemplated in its construction. I am heartily against ary proposition Iccating in it any other de- partinent of the government.” Representative Harmer said that he was opposed to the use of the library for any other purpose than that for which it was intended. He thought that to begin the use of it for any other purpose would be un- wise and “an injudicious Inroad.” He said that it might save a iittle rent, but that it was not the proper thing to do. —_——_—__-e..

TIOUSE ONLY IN Sees SESSION The Hovse today resumed the det the Pacific railroad funding bill imme Giately after the reading of the journal. Mr. Payne (N. Y.) occupied the chair. eon Mr. Patterson (Tenn.), member of the committee, opened the debate today with a balf hour's specch in favor of the meas ure. He briefly recounted the reasons which led him to support the bill. The sentimental side of the question, which wade the projectors of the Pacific roads &rcat public benefactors, in that they open- ed up a vast wilderness, he utterly disre- Sarded, just as he did the view that they Were public robbers. It was useless to Ciscuss wrongs, he said, which had no Standing in the courts. The truth was that the government loaned its bonds ¢ the projectors upen security which th United States accepted.

Mr. Harrison also opposed the Bell substitute on the ground that the roads could not comply with its provisions, One was too liberal and the other too stringent. He proposed a substitute which Would create a commission cousisting of the Secretary or the Treasury, Secretary of the Interior and the Attorney General, with full power to settle the indebtedness ‘of all the bond-aided railway companies. In sup- port of this substitute he urged that Con- gress did not and could not th formation on which to neg that w two houses could not agre:, an third, that a commission could conduct a settlement in a businesslike way to much better advantage than the government could by the passage of a hard and fast bill. for action had No Additional Security. Mz.

He declared that the government was not a helpless creditor of an insol- vent debtor. The government could not afford to disregard the fact that thes roads had been despoiled of enough money to pay the entire debt. He declared that the government had a right after it h exhausted its ability to ure its dev from the roads to proceed against those who had despoiled them.

Mr. Swanson (Va.), in opposing the bill, asserted that this bill constituted the poor- est proposition from the standpoint the government ever submitted to Con- gress. Two years ago, he said, the Union Pacific reorganization committee effered a Proposition twice as good as this. In analyzing the bill, he said it would push $45,000,000 of securities ahead of the government's lien. The idea that the gov- ernment’s lien at present was worthless was ridiculous. Certainly no one contended than in settling the right tes.” vot that the government's mortgage was not anterior to the stock of the Union Pactfic and Central Pacific, yet the stock of the former of a face value of $58,100,000 sold on the market yesterday for $10, and that of the Central Pacific for $15. “The stock of the Union Pacific rupted Mr. Po sessment of “So much the better for my argument,” replied Mr. Swanson. “If it was not sub- ject to the assessment it would be worth $25. Pass this bill, and the next day it will be worth $25." Mr. McCall (Mass.), to whom ten minutes was yielded, opposed the measure and de- voted most of that time to a refutaiion of the claim that the United States at present had no lien on the Omaha Terminal. Mr. Powers interrupted to insist that the Supreme Court has decided that the lien of the government only extended to the portions of the road actually aided. Continuing, Mr. McCall said he did not agree with much of the invective against these roads; he thought there should be a settlement, but that the terms of the bill were too liberal. He argued that the rate of interest should be three per cent. A Sensational Episode.
