The gentleman usher of the Black Rod, General Sir Michael Biddulph, having sum- moned the speaker and the members of the House of Commons, his majesty read the speech from the throne. The speech was not a very important ut- Rerance. His majesty referred in terms of gratification to the world tour of the prince d princess of Wales, expressed regret at the fact that the war in South Africa was not concluded, said he trusted the decision of the sugar conference would Jead to the abandonment of beunties, and noted the conclusion of the isthmian canal treaty. Friendly with N The speech opened with a reference to the tour of the prince and ‘Wales. “They were everywher king, “‘recelved with demonstrations of the livellest affection and I am convinced thelr presence served to rivet more closely the thonds of mutual regard and loyalty by which the vigor of the empire Is main- tained.” Referring to Great Britain's relations with foreign countries, the king sald: “My relations with the other pcwers con- tinue to be of a friendly character.’ Contrary to expectations, the king's ref- erence to the war :.-: Just as indefinite as statbiments nl subject made in the &M “- -throne. regrel sald hll majesty, ‘‘that the war in South Africa is not yet concluded, though the course of the operations has been favorable to our arms, the area of war largely reduced and industries are belng resumed in my new colonies. In spite of the tedlous character of the campaign my soldiers throughout have displayed a cheer- fulness In the endurance of the hardships incident to guerilla warfare, and a human- ity. even to their own detriment, in their treatment of the enemy, which are deserv- ing of the highest praise.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 —Prince Henry of Pruesia will bring from Germany a hand- some present for Miss Alice Roosevelt from the emperor in recognition and as a sou- venir of her part in the launching of the new royal yacht. Aunnouncement of this fact was made today In a dispatch to the Staats Zeitung from Berlin. The cablegram also sald that Prince Henry had been di- rected to arrange for aquatic sports be- tween American and German tars in the forelgn ports where they meet. The German government has accepted Mayor Low's offer of the use of West Thirty-fourth street pler for the imperial yacht Hohenzollern during the visit to the city of Prince Henry.

In regard to the sugar conference the speech says: “I trust its declsion may lead 1o the abandonment of the system by which the sugar producing colonies and home manufacturers of sugar have been unfairly welghted in the prosecution of this impor- tant industry.” Then came the following clause: “I have concluded with the president of the United Btates a treaty, the provisions of which will facllitate the construction of an inter- oceanic canal under guarantees that its neutrality will be maintained and that it will be open to the commerce and shipping of all matlon Next followed references to the Anglo- Brazlllan treaty, to the referring of the British Gulana-Brazil boundary question to the arbitration of the king of Italy, to the necessity for the continuance of famine rellef measures in India and to the death of the ameer, * Habib Ullah, has expressed an earnest desire to maintain the triendly relations of Afghanistan with my Indian empire.” After announcing that the estimates have “boen framed as economically as due re- gard tor their efficiency renders possible in the special circumstances of the present exigency,” the speech closed with mention- g proposed leglslation, of solely domestic interest, with the exception of a bill to tacilitate the sale and purchase of land in Ireland. Retire Amid Cheern, Their majesties then retired amid a fan- fare of trumpets and attended by the same Tegal ceremony as accompanied thelr entry into the house. The crowds which lined the route from Buckingham palace to Westminster to view the procession were not nearly so large as on the occaslon of the last opening of Par- YTament. Guardsmen, assisted by hundreds of police, kept the spectators back, but they had little to do. Only a few attempts at decoration were visible, What, with the two central figures so easlly seen and so gorgeously clad, and the brilliant escort of Lite guards. whose bands kept constantly playing, the public was re- warded for its long, cold wait by & spectacle of considerable interest, though, so far unrestrained public enthusiasm was con- ocrned, it was nothing to what oceurred earller in the day when the guards' rein- forcements left thelr barracks enroute to Bouth Africa. The guardsmen tramped through the dark strects of the metropolis at 6 o'clock In the morning, accompanied by an uproarious mob of civillan friends signing songs (o the accompaniment of the band. The songs and musie, however, did not drown the crying of women, who clung to the necks and arms of almost every man of the contingent On alighting at the royal entrance of the houses of Parlinment, beneath .hu Victorla (Comlnnud on Seventh Pi ST.

They were of- fered the heartiest co-operation by the State department and the opinion was ex- pressed that the undertaking would meot with success.

Canada, chief of detectives of the Union Pacific rallway, and United States Marshal Hazell of Cheyenne, Wyo., arrived today. They were reported {n a Cheyenne dispatch as coming here with a requisition for the man held here as Harvey Logan. The offi- cers deny this and say they came south to look after some coal lands In Alabama and merely came via Knoxville to see the sus- pect. Mr. Canada never saw Logan in his lite. Both officers went to the jail toduy and taiked with the suspect for some time.

It Is sald numbers of insurgents are in the fleld in that vicinity, CARACAS, Venezuela, Jan. 16.—General Mato, the revolutionary leader, is master at sea, for President Castro's fleet does not dare attack Libertador. The government troops, however, watch the coasts so well that the landing of arms and ammunition 18 nearly impossible. The only important successtul took place January 9 near TuCpa ‘much ammunition and General Ricra were safely debarked. According to the last reports received here regarding the whereabouts of Liber- tador, it was recently at the Dutch island of Aruba. It passed January 9 in view of La Guayara, and accidentally carried away the mast. of & small schooner. General Mato thereupon pald $150 to the captain of the schooner and towed it two miles to a harbor. The impression which prevails here is difficulties resulting from the attempts to pass arms and ammunition through the government render success of Matos problematical. Generals Mendoza and Fernez, the fin- surgent leaders, notwithstanding their lack of resources, are not yet crushed. The reports of uprisings in Guayara and other points remain unconfirmed. FEEL SURE OF THEIR CAPTIVE OMcers Are Convinced New Orleans Man is Edward Kern Wanted In Gotham, NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 16.—T. E. Manners. under arrest here under suspicion that he is Edward Kern, wanted in New York on the charge of robbing Mr. Theabaud, still | denies that he is Kern. In his possession was found a tollet éet marked “M. E. T." which 1s supposed to belong to Mr. Thea- baud's brother, but Manners says the letters | are his own finitials reversed, a practice which he says is not uncommon. He has engaged counsel, but no legal steps have been taken in his behalf Kletn, one of the men arrested on the charge of robbing Manners, makes a state- ment in which he says he and Rogers know Kern and called on Manners at the hotel. Klein says Manners did not = deny his identity and they were frank enough to call his attention to their knowledge of an $5,000 reward; that he there told them that there was over $8,000 of jewelry in the trunk and instructed them how to get away with 1t, saying he would collect damages from the hotel and meet them in Atlanta for a further division of the spoils. When they broke open the trunk it only contained a few hundred dollars worth of stuff and the police pursuit prevented the Atlanta trip. They became convinced that Manners had simply fooled them in order to escane and so gave him away. Sheriff Marrero, who is holdiug Manners, says the description fits that of Kern. He has been notified that Mr. Theabaud and New York detectives are on the way to New Orleans to {dentify the prisoner. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Captain Titus of the detective bureau said today that he was sure the man arrested yesterday in Ne: Orleans was Edward Kern, the former valet of Paul G. Theabaud. Kern stole about $90,000 worth of jewelry from the Theabauds two weeks ago.

Coroner Seholer presided. District Attorney Jerome #bA attorneys rep- resenting the various iBferests at stake were In attendance. Aistrict attorney addressed the members ofthe jury, saying in part “It may be that there persons criminally respo of the victims of thif disaster. It Is your duty to say whel these vietims came to thelr death through eriminal negli- gence of some person.

Fox sald he asked Whischo, engineer of the W1 ite Plains train, what had caused the accident, and Whischq replled: “There was a train passing and the smoke and steam ehut off the signals.” During the afternoon session Joseph H Franklin, manager of the Grand Central depot, was on the etand. The district at- torney questioned him. He admitted that he had received many complaints from trainment regarding the signal light in tho tunnel. These men had ealled his atten- tion to the fact that on fokgy days the lights could be seen only & short distance. o, especially during the winter months in New York,< District Attorney Jerome asked, “there are many days on which the signals in the tunnel can be seen only a very hort dlstance?” Witness admitted this was the case. On the day of the wreck, however, he consid- ered conditions were very favorable. He sald that 323 scheduled trains ran through the tunnel every day. Mr. Franklin said he wae under the or- ders o President Newman of the New York Central and President Hall of the New York, New Haven & Hartford road. He had spoken to them about the tunnel lights when they had taken him to task about trains belug late. Nothing in particular had been done about the complaints of the englneers. Answering Mr. Jerome, Manager Frank- lin admitted that the murky morning on which the disaster occurred was the first time Engineer Whischo had taken a pas- senger ‘rain through the tunnel. Counsel for Whischo asked to put some questions to Mr. Franklin, but the district attorney objected and the coroner sustained the objection. Adjournment was then had until tomorrow.

It is said that Mr. Burke will return to Seattle, authorized to tell the people of that clty of the settlement of the vexa- tions of the union depot and terminal prop- osition.

APPEAL FROM RESULT MILLER WILL Exclusion of Ballots Under Dee of Supreme Court Brings About Reversal of Results Given Out by Can ers. The recounting of the ballots cast for county clerk in wards and precinets of Douglas county contested by Charles Unitt republican nominee, was finlshed yesterday the result showing a majority for Mr. Uniti over Harry C. Miller, the democratic nom| who had been given a majority of y-two by the officlal canvassing board and who took possession of the office Thurs- day morning of last week Mr. Miller will retain the office for the present and make an effort to have the uncontested precincts recanvassed. Failing in this, he will appeal to the district court and eventually to the supreme court, ex- pecting to win there by securing a reversal of the ruling of Justice Harrison in the Mauck-Brown contest (38th Neb., 382) of December, 1899, by which ruling Judge Vinsonhaler has been governed in this pres- proceeding, and which results prac- tically in the disfranchisement of the voter who makes other than a perfect cross in marking his ballot. Precinets Recounted, In his petition, Mr. Unitt asked and se- cured a recount of the ballots cast in all the precincts of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh wards, of the First, Fourth and Eleventh precincts of the Sixth ward, of the Third, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth precincts of the Eighth ward, of the Fourth precinct of the Ninth ward and of the following country precincts, in addition to all of South Omaha: Douglas, Jefferson, Millard, Waterloo, Benson, Chi- cago, Elkhorn, East Omaha and Florence. The majority he has gained in this recount cannot be given officially until it is an- nounced by the court this morning, but some of the Miller men concede that it will be at least five. Mr. Miller himself would only say, when seen last evening, that the result would be very close. Mr. Unitt also declined to go into figures, but sald: “You may say for me that as far as my petition is concerned, the counting is fin- ished and I have a majority.” Miller's Basis for Mr. Miller sald: .“In this recounting I have lost on technical errors in marking balls thirty-two more ballots than has Mr. Unitt by the same fault. So far as the real Intent of, the voter was represented, my opponent gained just nime votes, leav- ing my majority still twenty-three. I shall retain the office and Friday morning my attorney will argue to secure leave to amend our answer to the petition that we may secure a recount of the ballots in the wards and precincts not contested by Mr. Unitt. It it should eventually become necessary for this case to go to t! upreme “have .uo doubt of the reversal .of the Harrison decision, which was rendered under the old election law, and which has resulted in so many of the votes in this election being thrown out because of errors in voting which were purely technical.”” The recounting of the ballots has occu- pled the time of the county court to the exclusion of all other business since Janu- ary 6, except durlng two days when the proceeding was continued in courtesy to Lysle Abbott, one of the attorneys in whose family a death had occurred. HOTEL CLERKS COME HIGH Witnesses in Cuban Case Wan Dollars a Day for Ex- pens, Forty HAVANA, Jan. 16, t the trial of the charges growing out of the Cuban post- office frauds today the examination of E G. Rathbone, ex-director general of posts of Cuba, was concluded, Counsel for W. H. Reeves, ex-deputy auditor for Cuba, re- quested the privilege of cross-examining Rathbone, which wae accorded. The cross- examination will begin tomorrow. During today's hearlng Rathbone was questioned further relative to the furnish- ing of his residence In El Cero, Havana, | from the postal funds. He said he could | not have been expected to furnish his | official residence from private funds; that | he had not known how long he was going to | remain in Cuba and that General John R. Brookes, ex-military governor of Cuba, and General William Ludlow, ex-milltary gov- ernor of the city of Havana, had furnished their official residences from government funds. The examination of Rathbone did not bring out any strong polnts for the gov: ernment, the matters touched upon involy- ing only small amounts compared with the large amounts of embezzlement alleged and belleved to be out of proportion to the sen- tence asked for by the fiscal. In most of the incidents taken up during Rathbone's | examination it was only a question of whether he had been authorized to make the expenditures in question, and there was a lack of evidence showing criminal intent. The matter of the expenses of the wit- nesses who have been brought here from the United States to testify in these cases is now worrying the postoffice officials, The clerk of a New York hotel, one of the wit- nesses, who was brought here to show that Rathbone had lived extravagantly while at his hotel, has put in a bill to the govern- ment of $40 a day for expenses, while the extras charged bring the total for two weeks to about $1,000.

DES MOINES, Jan. 16.-(Special.)—The state administration changed today and il 1s now Governor A. B. Cummins and Lieu tenant Governor John Herriott. The pro- | gram so carefully arranged was carried out {to perfection. There was mo hitch any- where, nor anything to mar the pleasure of the occaslon. It was an especlally pleas- ing occaslon for Des Molues people, because it was the first time in the history of the state when one who has long been a resi- dent of the city has been Inaugurated gov- ernor of the state. It was also an occasion long to be remembered because those pat- ticipating in it represented all of what might be ealled the factions in the repub- lican party and in other parties. It was strictly a non-partisan affair. Many repre- sentative men were here from all over the state and many of them attended not only the inauguration, but also the reception at the state house In the evening. It was a beautiful day for the inauguration. At 1:20 o'clock the two houses met In Joint convention in the state house and took a re The members proceeded to the east door, where there stood a guard of five companies of the Towa National Guard--companies from Oskaléosa, Dibu- que, Stoux City, Davenport and Des Moines. Greet Each Othe The retiring governor and his military scort met the governor-to-be in the execu- tive offices and the party proceeded to the east door, and, under the lead of the lowa band and the military companies, the entire party, including all state officers and mem- bers of the legislature, proceeded to the auditorium. There was a larger number of persons on the street tham at any in- augural parade for many years, owing to the unusually fine weather, and the party was cheered as it passed through the prinel- pal streets of the oity. The scene at the auditorium was a grand one. The hall was packed from bottom to top and the stage was filled to oyerflowing. The - boxes, . whicly, “Rag - bEFR-—-teautitully decorated for the occasion, were filled with women of prominence and distinguished guests of Governor Cummins, Notables on the Stage.

The inaugural ad- dress of Governor Cummins was then de- livered by him. He was eloquent and im- pressive and spoke with intense earnest- ness and freedom. The address was r ceived with many manifestations of pleas- ure. | | Two Governo Innugural Address. The inaugural address of Governor Cum- mins was a document of considerable length Governor Cummins made a gracefully impressive acknowledgment of his sense of . the honor and responsibility that had been put upon him by his fallow citizens. Especially did he express his pride in elug a citizen of a state which stands so pre-eminent in the great sisterhood of states. “These observations,” he said, “do mot mean that we have finished tha fight. The years to come have victories to be won and wil bo crowded with portunities to be embraced. 1 (urn from an inspiring retrospect to a hopeful fu- ture.” Taking up the topic of reform, he sald: It Is em! approprinte upon this oc- caslon o re \h-v\ Hom f the dutles of eft)- zership, some of the qu .|Imm which engage the public mind, and to agal .-.m.l\ 1o promote with our utmost erdeavor the cause of good government The experi of the world estublighes be- yond controversy that nothing iy more helptal In the solution of the problems of states and nations th, constunt discus- sfon of the plans sug for the reform and betterment of the r of soelety, It is unfortunately as common as It is un- patriotic to snee Idea of re and to derlde the r, hut th and derision proc ' from a op- rrupt Reform and an essential to the the republic as s the growth in tal lfe, 1 therefore ma r the bellef that many ons propounded to is by the tion of the time have not been adcquately answered.
