TO PREVENT HAZING
Amendments to the West
Point Appropriation Bill
CONSIDERED BY THE SENATE
Ship Subsidy Bill "Was Formally Laid
Aside District Bill Was Passed
House Continued Discussion
of the Fostoffice Bill.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5. The Senate to
day passed the District appropriation bill
and partially considered the bill making
appropriations for the support of the
West Point Military Academy. During
the day the ship subsidy bill, by a vote
of the Senate, was .formally .laid aside
and superseded as the unfinished busi
ness. The Senate met at 11 o'clock. Chadler
presented the credentials of his successor,
Henry E. Burnham.
The chair appointed .Hanna, Spooner and
Jones (Ark.) members of the joint com
mittee on inauguration, and Chandler and
Caffrey as tellers of the vote for Presi
dent and Vice-President when the elec
toral vote is counted.
Teller called up and spoke on his reso
lution calling upon the Secretary of War
for Information concerning the reports of
the deportation of George T. Rice, editor
of a Manila newspaper, to the United
States by the General in charge of the
American forces In the Philippine Islands.
He read the press reports concerning Mr.
Rice's case, saying that he did not won
der that he was defiant, contending there
was no law justifying expulsion. Teller
ald he did not know whether Rice's- pa
per had been suppressed, but he had been
credibly informed that four newspapers
had been suppressed In Luzon by the mil
itary authorities.
Teller spoke of the proceeding as one of
importance to all, for Rice 1b a, citizen
of the United States, and an offense
against him was against every citizen
of the country. Teller's resolution was
agreed, to, and the District of Columbia
appropriation bill was then taken up.
At 1 o'clock the ship subsidy bill was
laid before the Senate as unfinished busi
ness. Allison asked that the bill be
laid aside temporarily. Jones (Ark.) ob
jected to this request. Explaining his po
sition, he said the effect of granting the
request would be to continue the subsidy
bill as the unfinished business, and he did
not believe this should be done in view
of the condition of the Senate's business.
Practically all the appropriations were yet
to be considered, and he for one was
willing to give them all the time neces
sary. If the appropriation bills should
fall their failure, he said, would be due
to keeping the subsidy bill pending, and
he thought the committee should under
stand the disposition to set aside every
thing else for that measure.
He referred to the talk of an extra ses
sion of Congress, saying that it was due
to the evident determination to keep the
subsidy bill to the front to the exclusion
of all other measures. He considered
other subjects more Important, and
thought they should take precedence. He
concluded with a positive objeotlon to
granting the request temporarily to lay
the subsidy bill aside.
"Objection is mRde," announced the pre
siding officer, Gallingar, In the chair.
"Then. Mr. President, I move that the
consideration of the District of Columbia
appropriation bill be proceeded with," said
Allison.
There was no opposition to the motion,
and It prevailed without dissent, and con
sideration of the district bill was contin
ued. The bill was passed at 5 o'clock.
The Senate then took up the bill mak
ing appropriations for the military acad
emy. All the amendments suggested by
the committee on military affairs, includ
ing that prohibiting hazing, were agreed
to. Foraker offered an amendment pro
viding for the appointments of four ca
dets from Porto Rico and Alien an amend
ment requiring cadets upon entering West
Point to take an oath not to engage in
hazing, but without acting upon either
the Senate, at 6:10 o'clock, adjourned.
In the Honse.
The House today continued discussion
of controverted questions in connection
with the postofilce appropriation bill.
Griggs (Dem. Go.) spoke against organi
zations of postal employes formed with
a view to forming legislation in their In
terest. Moody (Rep., Mass.) discussed
the question of railway mall pay from the
standpoint of a member of the joint pos
tal commission. Bromwell (Rep., O.) and
Gaines (Dem., Tenn.) assailed the appro
priation for Special mall facilities from
New York to New Orleans and Catch
lngs (Dem., Miss.) and Meyer (Dem., La.)
defended these appropriations as neces
sary expedition of Southern mall.
Chaplain Coulden, In his invocation,
prayed for the recovery of Bartlett (Dem.,
Ga.), who k ill of pneumonia. With
out preliminary business the House went
Into committee of the whole and resumed
consideration of the Postofilce appropria
tion bill. The debate was Interrupted to
permit the House to act on tho Senate
amendment to the joint resolution for ap
pointment of a committee to arrange the
programme for the inauguration of the
President and Vice-President. The Senate
struck out "and Vice-President' -and the
House agreed to the amendment. The
Speaker announced the appointment of
Cannon (Rep.. 111.), Dalzell (Rep., Pa.')
and McRae (Dem., Ark.), as members of
the committee on behalf of the House.
Griggs, a member of the postofilce
committee, took the floor with a set
speech against the organization of vari
ous classes of Government employes with
the object of increasing their salaries, and
In some cases creating a civil pension list.
He argued that Government employes are
better paid than similar employes in pri
vate life, and there was no Justice in their
constant and persistent demands for high
er salaries.
Moody (Rep , Mass.), who was a mem
ber of the Joint postal commission, dis
cussed the question of railway mall pay
in the light of facts developed by the
commission. He said that If the Govern
ment could have an Ideal Second Assistant-Postmaster-General,
who should serve
for a long period, and who could be ab
solutely untrammeled rn his negotiations
with the railways, the Government would
be able to arrive at a standard of pay
ment which would be perfect, as near as
human imperfections would permit. He
did not mean, he said, to reflect in any
way upon the present Stfcond Assistant
Postmaster-General. He was speaking
simply of the difficulties which surround
ed existing conditions. Moody said the
postal commission developed the fact that
Instead of paying to the railroads on an
average -W cents per ton per mile for car
rying the mails, as the Postofilce Depart
ment had lead the country to believe, the
actual cost averaged about 121? cents per
ton per mile From the Investigation
he had made Moody said it was difficult
to tell which was the most orofttable to
the railroads, mail or express business.
Bromwell opposed the proposition for
special facilities, declaring that the Postmaster-General
repeatedly had declared
that he did not desire the appropriations
and had used them only because Con
gress had made them.
Catchlns. who was a member of the
postal commission, denied the latter
statement. He insisted that the Postmaster-General
desired Congress to take
the responsibility of discontinuing the
special service, because he did not want
to assume that responsibility homself.
Without action, at 5:30 P. M., the House
adjourned. r

Honse Committee AVill Favorably
Report the Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. The Secretary
of the Treasury has written Representa
tive Tawney, chairman of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition committee, that he
has received satisfactory evidence that
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Com
pany has raised the 510,000,000 required as
a prerequisite to Government aid. The
Secretary encloses a statement by the as
sistant treasurer at St. Louis, and several
bank officers, and says it Is upon this
statement that he rests the opinion as to
the sufficiency of the stock subscription to
provide $5,000,000. He also encloses a copy
of the ordinance, which provides the
other $5,000,000. This enclosed statement,
signed by Assistant Treasurer Farrar, at
St. Louis, and six bank presidents, says
that after careful examination of the
pledges, etc., it is found they exceed
$5,000,000, and will yield that sum after all
reasonable allowance for loss or shrink
age. Mr. Tawney says the Secretary's
letter Is conclusive and satisfactory assur
ance that the St. Louis authorities have
complied with their part of the project,
and that It Is now incumbent upon the
Government to comply with its part, as
pledged In the last civil sundry appropri
ation act.
The committee today perfected the bill,
and by a vote of six to two ordered it
reported favorably. Two Democrats, Will
lams of Mississippi and Otey of Virginia,
voted against the bill. They have not
decided whether or not they will file a mi
nority report, and it was decided to give
them two days In which to reach a decis
ion. Chairman Tawney will not file the
majority report until tomorrow or Thurs
day. The "Whlpplnjr-In" Process.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. The "whip,
ping-ln" process was applied today to Re
publicans who have been inclined to op
pose the subsidy bill, with the result that
there is more prospect of getting a vote
than before. A number of Republicans
would like to see the bill defeated, but will
votp for It when the time comes. The
Democrats think these men should come
out: and fight in the open and defeat the
bill, and are somewhat Inclined to allow
them to be "smoked out" by a vote, rather
than take the responsibility themselves
in defeating the measure.
Both Sides Confident.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. The Republi
cans who favor the shipping bill declare
tonight that the measure will pass. They
say the night sessions will soon dispose
of the speeches to be made on the bill,
and that It will come to a vote. The
opponents of the measure claim they can
still defeat It. They point out that they
make no opposition to the appropriation
bills, but are ready to debate the shipping
bill at any length.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. Representa
tive Tongue, of Oregon, by request, today

EXPERIMENTS WITH FOOD.
To Determine Their Relation to Mus
cular Energry.
MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Feb. 5. Profes
sor W. O. Atwater has just completed an
important experiment in the respiration
calorimeter at Wesleyan to determine
the relation of food to muscular energy.
The subject was one of the college ath
letes, who was In the experimental cham
ber for nine days and ten nights.
Professor Atwater, who conducts experi
ments for the Government in connection
with work at Wesleyan, has not completed
his analysis and calculations of his latest
experiment, and will not for several
weeks. He authorized the following gen
eral statement of the results obtained,
withholding the name of the student who
submitted to the test: "During eight days
he was engaged In active exercises, rid
ing a bicycle which was attached to a
dynamometer for measuring the amount
of muscular work performed. One object
of the experiment was to find the relation
between muscular activity and the con
sumption of food and body material and
the transformation of energy In the body.
"It was the idea to compare the effi
ciency of fnts and carbo-hydrates for
supplying the needs of the body In time
of hard muscular work. To this end the
diet during four days contained large
quantities of carbo-hydrates, sugar and
starch, which In the last four days were
replaced by fats in the form of fat meat,
butter and the like. The experiment was
very successful, and promises results of
decided Interest. Several weeks will be
required for completing the analysis and
calculations."

THEHAGIJEINGALAATT1RE
PREPARATIONS FOR THE ROYAL
WEDDING- THURSDAY.
Brilliant Spectacle at the Theatei
State Bann.uet to the For
eign Envoys.
THB HAGUE, Feb. 5. Today was
marked by further .receptions In connec
tion with the forthcoming marriage of
Queen Wilhelmlna and Duke Henry of
Mecklenburg-Schwerln. Additional guests
arrived at the palace, and there were
more choral serenades. Everybody Is
wearing a rosette or other favor. This
evening a state banquet was given at the
palace in honor of the foreign envoys.
Earlier In the day there was a reception
at the German legation.
The gala performance at the theater
presented a brilliant spectacle. The
House was "draped in pale blue and beau
tifully illuminated by electric lights. Flow
ers were everywhere In profusion. At 9:30
two officials bearing candles ushered in
Queen Wilhelmlna, who was attired in
white satin and lace, and wore a diadem
.of brilliants, a pearl necklace, the grand
cross of the Legion of The Netherlands
and the chain of the Mecklenburg order.
Duke Henry followed, wearing the uni
form of a Rear-Admiral, and the grand
cross of the Legion of the Netherlands
Then came the Grand Duke of Mecklen
burg, Duke Adolph Frederick, of Meck
lenburg, Duchess Maria, Prince Albert of
Prussia, the Queen's mother. Grand Duke
Vladimir of Russia and other princely
personages. The theater was crowded
with Ministers, diplomats and officers, all
In full uniform. The programme con
sisted of music, recitations by artists In
national costumes, of the provinces in the
seventh century, and tableaux. One actor
representing Joost Vander Vondel, the
celebrated Dutch poet, recited a poem by
Dr. Schaefman.
The city Is again magnificently illuml
mlnated tonight, and the streets are
crowded.
The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg and
Schwerin is making the young couple a
gift of a splendid service of tureens and
candelabra of solid silver of enormous
weight, wrought by hand by the best
workmen In Schwerin. Each articlo
bears the arms of Mecklenburg.
During the afternoon the Queen and
Duke drove out to the neighboring vil
lages. A snow storm last night gave a pretty
effect to the festoons of spruce across the
streets, but It worked destruction among
the Chinese lanterns, and necessitated
the employment of an army of workmen
to remove the damaged decorations and
to replace them. Today proved fine, with
Intervals of sunshine.
Stages are being erected along the line
of march. The shops are exhibiting mar
ble busts of the young couple, draped in
orange velvet and satin. Free perform
ances have been ordered in the theater.
WILHELMINA AND VICTORIA.
Coincidence of the Crossing: of Their
Careers.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5. A dispatch to the
Tribune from The Hague, commenting
on the coincidence of the crossing of the
careers of the late Queen of England
and of Queen Wilhelmlna, of the Neth
erlands, says:
Like Victoria, Wilhelmlna, after as
cending the throne, has waited three
years, and Is marrying a German Prince.
Unless all signs fail, this is also a genu
ine love marriage, and the wedding comes
within three days of the 61st anni
versary of the marriage of Victoria in the
Chapel Royal of St. James. There have
been the same legislative controversies
over the, naturalization statutes and anJ
nultles to the Prince Consort here which
arcse at Westminster In the time of MeN
bourne and Wellington, ana doubtless
there will be similar heartburnings and
annoyances over points of precedence and
etiquette.
Duke Hendrik of Mecklenburg-Schwer-In
Is a German Prince and the Queen's
Dutch subjects are intensely Jealous of
their Independence and In dread of the
absorption of their dykes and canals by
Germany. They have shown evidences of
suspicion and prejudice and have not
liked his swaggering military manners.
The Dutch are thrifty and democratic,
and they have not been favorably Im
pressed with the Prince, who is an enthu
siastic sportsman. He has also been com
pelled to put up with legislative Inter
ference In his affairs since his betrothal
and has been subjected to much annoy
ance. Since the marriage bans were pro
claimed there has been a better feeling
toward the bridegroom.
The wedding ceremony will be per
formed Thursday in the White Hall of the
Palace and be repeated In the quaint
church where the Queen has attended
Sunday school services since her child
hood. LAW OF ASSOCIATIONS.
Three More Articles Adopted by the
Chamber of Deputies.
PARIS, Feb. 5. The Chamber of Dep
uties today adopted article 3 of the Law
of Associations bill, after a brief dis
cussion. Articles 4 and 5 of the bill were
adopted with little or no modification, ex
cept in the case of one of the leading
clauses In article 5, a clause restricting
the civil personality of associations.
Jacques Piou, Radical Republican, Dep
uty for St. Gaudens, one of the best de
baters In the chamber, moved an amend
ment according to associations the full
rights enjoyed by Individuals regarding
the possession of real estate. This was
opposed by the Premier, M. Waldeck
Roucseau, who pointed out that the
nmenament would lead to the re-establishment
of .mort main, which a majority
of the House would not accept. M. Piou
thereupon withdrew the amendment. The
chamber then adjourned.
MARTINELLI TO BE A CARDINAL.
Honor for the Apostolic Dclesnte to
the United States,
PARIS, Feb. 5. The Rome correspond
ent of the Temps says a letter from the
Vatican has been posted to Archbishop
Martlnelli, the apostolic delegate in the
United States, notifying him that he will
be created a cardinal. The correspond
ent adds that other letters will shortly
be dispatched, as eight or ten new card
inals will be created at the coming con
sistory.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. While it Is
generally believed here that Archbishop
Martlnelli will eventually be created card
inal, the officials of the apostolic lega
tion have nothing to make public on the
subject and say the discussion of the
question Is at this time premature. A
consistory of cardinals In Rome is
looked for in the near future, and if the
archbishop is to receive the new honor
referred to, his appointment may be an
nounced at that time.
STRIKES IN SPAIN.
Railroad to Portusral Tied Up
Tradesmen Want Shorter Hours.
MADRID, Feb. 5. The strike on the
railroad on the Portuguese frontier is
causing a great dislocation of traffic. Only
a few trains are running, and they are
worked by military engineers. The en
gines and cars are lying deserted on the
tracks.
The general strike of all the trades at
Gljon (a fortified seaport town of Spain,
11 miles from Ovideo, on the Bay of Bis
cay), growing out of the eight-hour ques
tion, has assumed alarming proportions.
Over 15,000 men are out The strikers
thus far have been quiet, but martial law
has been proclaimed throughout the prov-
ince and the government .has drafted
there a sufficient force ot troops to cope
with any emergency. Soldiers have been
sent to replace the striking bakers Sev
ral Influential newspapers support the
strikers, wha declare they are Justified In
the action taken by the miserable condi
tions of labor. The Minister of the In
terior, Senor Ugarte, Is trying to secure
a settlement on the basis of 'an increase
of wages.
NO POUTICAIj SIGNIFICANCE.
The Conference Between Lord Salis
bury and Emperor William.
BERLIN, Feb. 5. The announcement
from London that Lord Salisbury yes
terday had an audience with Emperor
William Is regarded here as having little
political significance. It Is explained that
such a conference was due, probably, to
the fact that the Emperor, on his previ
ous visit to England did not see Lord
Salisbury because the latter was then in
mourning for Lady Salisbury. The Lokal
Anzelger ridicules the conclusions drawn
by the British papers as to the meaning
of the conference.
The Agricultural National Council,
which is in session here, was addressed'
today by Count Posadowsky-Wehner, Im
perial Secretary of Stats for the Interior,
who greeted the delegates cordially and
expressed the hope that the agricultural
public would soon become aware of the
immense importance of Germany's agri
cultural Interests.
Enormous snowfalls are reported
throughout the Sudelaln and Hartz Moun
tains, In West Prussia and in the Black
Forest. Today a thaw set In.
The police of Berlin 'contemplate adopt
ing a new general alarm system. This
will Involve the erection of booths
throughout the city, showing, behind
lighted tables, automatic electric an
nouncements when murders, bank robber
ies and other crimes are committed.
Austrian Emperor May Marry.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5. A dispatch to the
World from Paris says:
Today's Slecle prints a long article re
garding the alleged Impending marriage
of Emperor Francis Joseph to Frau
Schratt, formerly of the Burg Theater.
It is well known that the relations be
tween Frau Schratt and the imperial
family have for a long time been very
affectionate. She visited Rome recently,
accompanied by the Countess de Transl,
sister of the late Empress. It is now said
that the pope, yielding to diplomatic rep
resentations, has granted Frau Schratt's
prayer to annul her former marriage with
Baron Klsch and that her marriage with
the Emperor will follow Immediately. It
is said that the Emperor has signed a
brevet raising her to the rank of Countess
von Hochstenberg.
Witnesses to Spanish Marriage.
MADRID, Feb. . The witnesses at the

SUPERIMPOSED TURRETS.
Naval Board Adopts the Plan of Ad
miral O'Nell.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. The Naval
Board of Construction today .adopted
Admiral O'Nell's plan of superimposed
turrets and 12 6-inch guns In broadside
for the five battleships recently con
tracted for. The secondary batteries re
main as previously arranged. The board
divided, 10 members voting for the su
perimposed turret plan and Admiral
Barker and Constructor W6odward fa
voring adherence to the original plan
for the two battleships, or what Is
known as the "quadrilateral arrange
ment." The majority report declares
that the five vessels should be similarly
armed and poys that the main batteries
of the ships should be made to conform
to the plan3 of the Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Georgia, namely, four 12-inch
guns in two turrets, four 8-lnch guns In
two turrets superimposed on the 12-inch
turrets, and four S-lnch guns In two
waist turret- on the sides of the ship.
This plan is attributed to Lieutenant
Commander Strauss, at present In com
mand at the Indian Head proving
grounds. The minority report makes a
strong point of the risk of Injury to Ihe
entire four guns in the superimposed'
tunets by n single shot. It also declares
that there has been absolutely no ade
quate test of the superimposed or double
turret ana favors adherence to the orig
inal plan, pending a thorough study of
the value tf various battery arrange
ments for battleships by a board of naval
oflicers to be chosen especially for that
purpose.

THE KAISER GOES HOME
ESCORTED TO THE RAILWAY STA
TION BY KING EDWARD.
Affectionate Farewell Between the
Two Sovereigns Boarded the Ho
henxollern at Port Victoria.
LONDON, Feb. 5. Emperor William
has returned on board the yacht Hohen
ssollern. at Port- Victoria, on his way Jiome,
after receiving from London crowds de
monstrative expressions qf their appre
ciation of his prolonged visit to England.
The Emperor's passage through London,
however, was somewhat marred by bad
weather. Unmistakable evidence of the
place he has won in the hearts of the
English people was seen In the affection
with which he was bidden farewell by
King Edward, the Duke of Connaught
and other members of the royal family.
A naval parade greeted the Emperor's ar
rival at Port Victoria, when all the war
vessels dressed ship, this being further
evidence of the exceptional official cor
diality existing between the two coun
tries. Emperor William was accompanied
by the Crown Prince Frederick William
and the Duke of Sparta.
Emperor William's speech at the lunch
eon at Marlborough dealt In the main
with matters of pure family concern, aris
ing out of the death of Queen Victoria.
There were only two speakers. King Ed
ward thanked the Emperor In behalf of
the British people and himself, and bade
him a cordial farewell. The Kaiser re
plied In terms reciprocating the good
wishes of the King. He is described as
having spokon eloquently. Both mon
arch! alluded to the good understanding
between the two people in furthering the
cause of peace and civilization. King
Edward complimented the Kaiser upon
his speech. Emperor William sat at the
right of King Edward, and Crown Prince
Frederick William at his left. The Duke
of Connaught, Prince Christian, Sir Frank
Lascellcs, British Ambassador to Ger
many; Baron von Eckhardstein, First
Secretary of the German Embassy, and
Count von Metternich were present.
It was at Charing Cross railroad sta
tion, subsequent to the luncheon at Marl
borough House, that the chief ovation
occurred. The crowds, packed densely,
cheered lustily as each state carriage,
containing the members of the German
suite, passed, and shouted themselves
hoarse when, behind a brilliant escort of
Life Guards, Emperor William. King Ed
ward, Crown Prince Frederick William
and the Duke of Connaught drove up In
the same carriage. The Archbishop of
York, Field Marshal Earl Roberts, the
Lord Mayor and many distinguished
people. Including the members of the Ger

gathered on the platform to bid farewell
to Emperor William. The latter was in
the highest spirits. He talked, laughed
and shook hands all around.
King Edward introduced the Lord
Mayor, Frank Green, to Emperor William.
The latter said he much appreciated the
fact that the Lord Mayor, the head of
the City of London, had come to bid him
farewell. The Lord Mayor, fn replying,
declared the citizens of London warmly
appreciated the visit of the Emperor to
England at a moment's notice, upon the
melancholy occasion of the Queen's death,
and would never forget this kindness. The
Emperor then remarked that the attach
ment between himself and the late Queen
was very close, and he could not do less
than to come to England at such a time.
His Majesty added that he had been
deeply moved by the marvelous spectacle
which he had witnessed Saturday, remark
ing that ,he had never seen anything,
which had so deeply Impressed him.
King Edward was equally cheerful. He
appeared to be in better health than for
weeks past. After an affectionate fare
well between the two monarchs, the train
started out? amid the playing of the Na
tional anthem by the band of the Cold
stream Guards and the cheers of the peo
ple. King Edward ran forward to take a
final grip of Emperor William's hand,
which was held out of a window. It was
evident that no one was better pleased
with the day's proceedings than the Em
peror himself. A number of German de
tectives ceaselessly followed In the Em
peror's footsteps and boarded the Imperial
train before It started. Emperor William
wore a British Field Marshal's uniform,
and King Edward and the Duke of Con
naught wore the German uniforms. For
the first time in many days the flags In
the streets and on buildings floated at the
flagstaff heads. The German flag was
prominently displayed.
Emperor William has conferred upon
Earl Roberts the Order of the Black
Eagle, the highest German decoration.
The Hohenzollem sailed from Port Vic
toria at 5:25 P. M. She anchored this
evening in Sheerness Harbor. She will
said at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, es
corted by the German cruiser Nymphe
and the British cruisers Niobe and Miner
va. Professor Sir Felix Semon. president of
the Laryngological Society of London,
etc., asks the Associated Press to say
there is positively no word of truth in
the story published In the United States
that King Edward is suffering from can
cer of the throat. Sir Felix wishes It to be
called a "scandalous Invention and ridicu
lous report." This statement will be a
final answer to the cabled dispatches he
Is now receiving from America. He de
clares he has not seen the King for weeks
past, and that when he last saw him his
throat and general condition were never
better. The physician adds that any one
hearing the King speak in public would
know In a minute that there is nothing
the matter with his throat.
The latest rumor regarding Queen Vic
toria's will is that it bequeaths 140.000
each to the Duke of Connaught, Prince
Christian of Schleswlg-Holstel.i, Princess
Louise and Princess Beatrice, and In
cludes liberal legacies for the Duchess of
Albany and a number of the Queen's
grandchildren. The bulk of her private
fortune, however, goes to King Edward,
and both Balmoral and Osborne House
are given to the King. Two small houses
on the Osborne estate are given to Prin
cess Beatrice.
The reopening of Her Majesty's The

audience stood and Joined with Miss Es
ther Palllson in singing "God Save the
King" before the curtain rose. The
comedy was supefbly mounted. Mr. Tree,
a very whimsical MalVolio, divided the
honors with Miss Lily Brayton as Viola.
.Robert Taber, as Orsind; Lionel, as Toby
Belch, and Norman Forbes, as Sir An
drew Aguecheek, were all heartily ap
plauded. "Shis production proved a great
success.

In conformity with the course adopted
by the former Prince of Wales, afterward
King George IV, who resigned the office
of grand master when he was appointed
regent. King Edward has now resigned
the office of grand master of Free Ma-
sons in England which he held since
2&4. But he will retain his connection
with Masonry under the" probable title of
protector. A special grand lodge will be
summoned February 15, when It Is expect

master.
NO SHIP WAS AT HAND.
Why the Navy Was Not Represented
at the Queen's Funeral.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-OfflcIals here
ore gratified at the correct understand
ing upon the part of the British public
and the press of the absence of an Amer
ican warship from the naval lines dur
ing the Queen's funeral. As a matter of
fact, the representation of the United
States Government during the ceremonies
was carefully considered here. The United
States Navy had no vessel In Northern
Europe. The North Atlantic squadron
was in the Gulf of Mexico, and the battle-ships
'composing It would have been
unable to fit out and cross the Atlantic
in time for the water parade. The New
York, now fitting out at New York, will
not be ready for sea until February io,
and there was no other suitable vessel
that could be gotten ready In time. It Is
expected, however, that, having due no
tice, the Navy will be fully represented
at the coronation.
