EMPEROR SENDS MESSAGE TO PEOPLE on Account of Famine. DELHI, India, Jan. 1.—Thousands of thousands of people from the eity of Delhl and from villages far and near began gathering at daybreak this morning on the great plain outside the city. There they waited patiently for the su- preme announcement King Edward emperor of India. Soon the great pi wae filled with crowding masses of people and the brightly colored | clothing of the vast throng covered the space with gorgeous hues. The crowd on the plain was composed largely of the common people, but among it could be seen the retainers of the va- rious rajahs who had assembled for the function. The attention of all was fixed upon the | white amphitheater, in the center of the plain, where the anneuncement was to be made. The amphitheater was adorned with £llded cupolas and surrounded by batteries, equadrons and battalions of army. Beyond the amphitheater, in the distance, could be seen great numbers of elephants, camels ané horses. So vast was the multi- tade that the troops appeared as mere splashes of color. The arrival at the am- phitheater of the viceroy of India, Lord Curzon of Keddleston, and other dignita- ries and the princes, was ome of the bril- lant episodes of the day. The princes were clad in eilks and adorned with jewels and their horses and ‘carriages were brilliant with trappings of gold. Striking and Gorgeous Spectacle. The spectacle within the arena was most striking and gorgeous. The Pathan chiefs and the Birdars were resplendent in bril- liant ralment. Soldiers, civilians and vis ftors from far distant countries were in- cluded among those within the amphi- theater. Upon the entrance of the veterans of the Indian mutiny there was tremendous en. thusiasm, and as the arrivals marched to their places the bands played national airs. The carriage of the duke of Connaught. who ts King Edward, was escored by a of cavalry. As the duke and the ‘duchess “were driven around the arena the assemblage gave them ag em- thusiastic welcome. Amid the scclamations of the people the duke took his seat at the left of the throne, while the duchess proceeded to a place behind the throne, When the great amphitheater was filled and tho hour for the anmouncement drew pear the multitude, within and without, awaited expectantly the first act of the | proclamation ceremony. Then the ap- proach of the viceroy was heralded. Pre- ceded by members of his bodyguard, clad in white, blue and gold and under the command of Major Grimston, Lord Curzon appeared at the entrance of the arens in bis carriage. Viceroy M Throne. The postillons wore uniforms of scarlet and gold and the carriage was drawn by four bay horses. The viceroy was escorted by Sir Pertad Fingh. Alighting from his carriage, Lord Curzon mounted the daiz to the throi which was decorated with golden lions, and around which were placed massive silver footstools. The throne itselt was surmounted by a canopy of white and gold. ‘When the viceroy reached the throme the mational anthem was played and a salute of twenty-one guns was fired. When the spectators had resumed their seats after the anthem there was a flourish of trum. pets from the heralds, and Major Muxwell, at. the coumand of the viceroy, read the proclamation opening the Durbar. The royal stapdard was then raised on high and the imperial salute was fired. The massed bands marched by playing, bonfires were startéd by the troops out- side and It was announced that King Bd- ward was the emperor of India. There was another flourish of trumpets and Lord Curzon arose and stood for a moment impassive. Then in impressive tones he delivered a speech and read the message from King Edward. During his address the viceroy announced the coronation of the king, he extolled the loyal Indian people and prophesied pros- perity for the Indian emperor. He sa‘'d also that it would be decided not to exact interest for three years on all loans made or guaranteed Ly the government of Indla to the pative states in connection with the recent famine. the abolition of the Indian sta® corps w! bas long been an army sinecure. Edward Regrets Absence. In the king's message, which was then read by Lord Curzen, his majesty said the prince and princess of Wales would shortly visit Indla. He regretted his ab- sence from the durbar. In conelnding King Edward said 1 renew the assurance of my o the liberties of the Indian ;-‘o;fi'._"g‘r’ :n; respect for thelr dignities and rights, of my ibterest in thelr advancement and of my devotion to their welfare. These are the suprcme alms and objects of my ru! which, under the blessing of Almighty God will load to the increasing prosperity of my Indian empire and to the greater hap- piness of its p:ople. As the viceroy finished reading the king words, the assembled people broke choers for the king and emperor. The cheering was taken up by the multitude outside the amphitheater and was long su tained. There then followed the presentation of ndian princes to the viceroy and the duke ¢ Connaught and political officers paid amage (o the sovereign.

CHOLERA RAMPANT IN THE CITY Mazatian, Mexico, in Furore at Discevery that Prevalent Disease is the Plague. Terror MAZATLAN, Mex., Jan. 1.—There is not the slightest doubt that the disease affiict- ing this city is the genuine Asiatic cholera, for microscopic examination proves that bubonic pest baccilll are in the blood of those aficted with the disease. The discase has grown virulest in the last forty-eight hours and the slarm which bad begun In some measure to abate has returned with increased strength. The people are fleeing from the ecity at | the rate of 300 per day and some 5,000 have | already gone. It is a remarkable fact that more than 50 per cent of the persons attacked are women. The news of the recrudesence of the plague at this port has reached the in. terior towns of the state and is causing a panic. Cordons of armed men havs been placed about the town to prevent the en- trance of anyone from this place.

Sir John Blundell Maple, M.

Salmon, stating that he had the foot and mouth disease under control in New England; that up to the close of December 30 1,600 head of cattle had been killed un- der direction of the chiet of the bureau of | animal industry in Massachusetts alone and | that a clean bill of health would be pre- |sented on New Year's day. Dr. Salmon | stated to his chief that he belleved the dis- | ease was under complete control. While | there might bde fsolated cases of the dis- | ease bresking out amongst other herds he | felt that the worst was over and that the cattle interests of the country could reat assured that the quarantine established would be maintained until every trace of the disease had been eradicated. | The amount paid out to the end of the |year to reimburse owners of eattle ia slightly in excess of $50,000 in Massachu- setts. The inspectors of the bureau of an- imal industry who are at work in other New England states have not yet submitted their reports, but as the disease was un- doubtedly introduced into the country from | Burope through the port ot Boston, it is | natural to assume that Massachusetts cat- | tie were more generally affected than those in any other state. | While a few sporadic cases may make | their appearance in' the west through cars | used 1n the cattle trade, the bureau of ani- | mal industry took such prompt steps towards disinfecting all rolling stock which might contain germs of the disease that it 1s belfeved little danger is to be antici- pated from this gource. According to the | secretary of agriculture there is, therefore, every reason to suppose that the disease has been checked and that it will no longer prove a menace to the cattle export in- dustry. The quarantine will not be lifted until the department is satisfied that all danger is passed. May Hold ependent Sessio: At today’s session of the American As- soclation for the Advancement of Science it was decided that hereafter any section of the association may hold a summer session independently of the association, the lat- ter to defray the expenses up to $50. Resolutions of regret on the death of Major Walter Rced, surgeon United States army, were adopted and a committee of | nine authorized to secure a permanent memorial to Major Reed in recognition of his bSenefaction to the race in solving the | problem of the spread of yellow fever. About thirty prominent scientists of the country were elected fellows of the asso- A constitutional amendment was adopted allowing the annual meetings of the asso- clation to be extended beyond a week. A large number of papers on technical sub- jects were read at the various meetings of the sections during the day. One of the interestirg papers of the day was by Prof. Burt G. Wilder of Cormell | university, before the section of zoology, on “Some Questions as to the Arrangement of the Primate: { According to the views advanced by Prof. | ‘Wilder, there should be a rearrangement in | the present classification of apes and man, The relation he considers as affording the | best criterion on which to determine their | affinities and divergencies. Incidentally he | showed that the brain of the orangoutang | approaches more nearly that of man, and | that judged by this character the orang- | outang should rank first after man in-| stead of the gorilla. This provoked much discussion. Another Interesting paper read today was by Prof. W. J. McGee on “Indian Arrow | Polson.” Prof. McGee explained that the| poison often was applied to the bow instead | of the arrows, or that certain spells were uttered, or put on the weapons, which it was believed would cause the death of a victim. in other Instances, he sald, the Indians daubed their arrow points with putrifying matter, which produced septi- cemla in the persons struck and thereby resulted in death. | Sclentists Selects Officers. | The American Association for the Ad- | vancement of Science tonight elected the | following officers for the enmsuing year, atter selecting St. Louis as the place for the next meeting, beginning December 28, | 1903: | President, Carroll D.

RAILROAD OPPOSITION MAY BE OVERCOME Parties Interested in the Move Will Go to Court of Last Resort in Order to Secure Fair Lecal Treatment. “The rallroads are a good deal, but they are not the whole thing yet. There is in existence an Interstate Commerce mission, and it all else fails that power will be exerted to compel the rallway to offer rate facilities favorable to the estab- lishment of a grain market in Omaba. If the roads conmtinue to disregard the In- { terests of this city and the wishes of both | sprang a young | shippers and buyers, this supreme author- ity may be invoked, and if this is donme there are reasons why the flat through Tate in and out of Omaha will be easily obtained. That it will be possible to enlist the most earnest efforts of the commission in the cause is quite certain. The Omaha Board of Trade has recemtly taken out a membership in the National Board of Trade and that vast Influence would be behind this city in such a movement.” With these words a prominent grain man of Omaha commented upon the position of hostility to Omaba's Interests assumed by the rallroads. “The argument of the railroad men Against favoring the establishment of a grain market here is a sieve from begin- ning to end. It will not hold water any- where,” he sald. “You can take it point by point and show its fallacy. In answer to the statement that Omaha is no place for a grain market, I say that there is not a better place on the globe. The city is situated practically in the center of the best agricultural territory in the world, stretching out for nearly 400 miles on every elde. What more do you want? Matter of Consumption. “But the railroad men say there's no con- sumption, that this is the great thing nec- essary, that the graln brought in here for sale must be consumed largely in con- tiguous territory in order that thn market may expand and be & success. That I may’ answer in two ways. In the first place Omaba has a large or larger contiguous natural consumption than any of the other grain markets proportionately to its size, | and the other avenues of consumption, milling, manufactures and such will fol- low the market here. You canmot expect them to precede it. Oatmeal factorfes, cereal food factories and all manner of mills would come {n here on the heels of a securely estahlished graln market. In the mecond place, it is not true that grain which reaches the markets of this country is consumed largely near them.. Chicago sends fully 90 per cent of its grain out, and the rest keep but small proportions. ‘And these rallroaders talk as if Chicago were the whole thing, and the only objec- tive point for grain from this territory.
