The new Legislature met in the same chamber where the short-lived Parliament of 1S76 assembled a moderate-sized hall in a building facing the square of St. Sofia. Tha scene was. perhaps, one of the most remarkame in tne political nie ih. world All the creeds and races of tho Turkish Empire sent their duly elected representatives. The many varied costumes of the dele gations, some In flowing silk robes and others in the fashionable frock coat, formed a gorgeous and multi-colored pic ture never before witnessed In a leglsla- , .... t,nrin cr in Riimne. Albanians. Syrians and Moslem representatives were present, wniie urrehs, Arracumiu Bulgarians represented the Christian na tionalities. All Natrons Rub Shoulder. Members from Jerusalem and Mecca rubbed shoulders with, their colleagues from the European provinces, and the far-off Kurdtsh. Armenian and Arab districts on the confines of the Indian Ocean. As far as can be judged from surface Indications, the new Parliament has en tered upon Its duties with a united de termination to carry out successfully tho aims of the bloodless revolution which made possible the Inauguration of a con stitutional regime In Turkey. Saltan loaves Falace. The Sultan left Tlldiz Palace. In a rtato coach at half-past .11 o'clock to drive to the building adjoining the Ministry of Justice and facing the great square of St. Sophia, where the new chamber convened. He was ac companied by the flrsf secretary of the Imperial chancellory, and a large num ber of aides and attendants. The en tire line of march of the Imperial party, a distance of five miles, had been swept and spread with fresh sand for the passage of His Majesty. These are the same preparations made every time the Sultan leaves Tll diz. and particularly when he attends the Selamlik. Every regiment In Con stantinople was under arms and lined un alonir the route ef the procession to guard the progress of the Sultan. Trl nmnhnl arches SDanned the streets, and aa the occasion has been made a pub llo holiday, the city was crowaea. Thousands came In from surrounding towns and villages, as well as from more remote parts of the empire, and almost the entire local population turned out to witness the ceremonies.

EUREKA, Cal., Deo. 17. The body of Harry Gushaw, of Fortuna, Cal., ar rived Tuesday and was buried and rela tives now doubt thatlhe remains were thoso of Gushaw and fear, that his body was exchanged for another miaii'8 through the mistake of a Portland nil. dertaker. The remains may bo exhumed to clear the mystery. Gushaw welched 190 pounds, but the body . which was received was of a smaller man. Gushaw had a large scar on his forehead, which did not.Ahow on the corps. The latter had a Roman nose. but Gushaw did not. The teeth of the corpse protruded, while thoee of Gushaw curved Inwardly. Gushaw also had jet black hair, while tho corpse's hair was lighter. A small blemish waa noticed on the nostril of the corpse which Gushaw did not possess. Another difference noted by relatives was In the size of . the hands. Guahaw s were plump, while those of the corps ewre small and thin. The funeral, held Tuesday afternoon. was attended by many friends and rela tives of Gushaw who were surprised to see the unfamiliar face In the coflln Gushaw'a 9-year-old son was not allowed to look In the casket at the funeral for fear he would cry out that It was not papa. Gushaw was a prominent Fortuna mer chant. He had several hundred dollars when the went to Portland and was picked up on a street there almost lifeless and without runas. M'CARREN OPPOSES BRYAN (Coatlnued from Ftrat Page.) Is unnecessary to elaborate on recent happenings for the reason that every Democrat today, young and old. re alizes the disastrous consequences that have followed the attitude of our party on all the questions that Presidential contests are decided on. "The patriotism of the country was arrayed against us because of our at titude on questions following the Span ish War. Our anti-expansion views lined the young American voters against us. I have always voted the Democratic ticket, but In many cam paigns I did so In the belief and with the feeling that I was pursuing a for lorn hope, knowing that the position of our party would not be Indorsed by a majority of the voters." Issues for Voter. Senator McCarren was a.sked If he had any remedy to propose. He re plied: "It la evident to my mind that we must put ourselves on the side of Na tional Issues that will be indorsed by the voters and the sooner we do it the better. . "The result of the last election, it seems to me. is so pointed that there can be no controverting the statement that the American people will not stand for radical tlieorlos in the affairs Of our Government. "To my mind, Mr. Taft was elected because he was suspected of being con servative. If the Republican party does not keep Its promises and the Immediate indications seem to warrant it will not I think a great opportunity will be presented to Democracy to name such issues as I believe will secure the support of the people. "In my opinion, the important ques tions to be decided in the near future very largely involve the question of the cost of living. Th, in Its; frauj, JVltt a4 f.o study of the causes, which will be clearly revealed to be depending very largely- upon, the tariff law, to which I believe the Republican party is very largely committed, .in the sense of con tinuing them as they are now. "The Democratic party must take a positive stand on revision of the tariff, and In such a way as to point out to the people the wisdom of their posi tion, that can be easily done by an In telligent exponent of the question." McCarren is admittedly one of the most intelligent Democratic leaders in the East. His integrity has frequently been attacked, but there never has been any question as to his possessing brains. For this reason his statement at the present time Is regarded as more than usually significant. In his conferences at Washington, McCarren expressed himself as favor ing a change In the chairmanship of the National committee. The Senator made it clear that he had no personal quarrel with Norman E. Mack, but he pointed out that the sooner the party was relieved lof the Bryan blight, the better it would be. a "Let it be known that we are a pro gressive organization, and not a suburb of Lincoln. Nebraska," he said. "We may have real issues, real candidates, and a real party. Otherwise the best thing to do would be to go out of this farce." Proof that tho M" ' due to factional spite Is given by tfc attitude ot Main.. .. ..... ough president of Brook ly In. Littleton and McCarren are bitter foeB, and have been for a numbeY of years. Littleton earnestly advocated the nomination of Bryan at Denver. But In an address before the Southern Society he covered practically the same ground as McCarren did. Mr. Littleton's remarks, boiled down. Implied that his party had done noth ing in past Presidential campaigns save grab at Issues which it hoped would raise the popular fancy. There fore, Mr. Littleton argued, the people had no confidence in its pretensions, no matter which faction, .radical or conservative, was on top. ' "Revamp the Party." He suggested that the time was ripe to "revamp" the party, and believed that the Southern Society should lead the way. "Why cannot this society elect an ad visory . committee from' among its Democratic members?" he said. "It would be their duty to ask some good hard-headed Democrat from each state to confer, not for the purpose of getting delegates, but for an entirely different purpose. We want them to f&rm an organization in each state to put these questions to the Government and get answers: . " "Where do you get the money to run your Government?' 'Is your taxa tion just and equal?' 'How do you spend it?' "We also want to keep and maintain at Washington, a perfectly organized, well-equipped and courageous bureau, who shall put the' same questions and secure the same answers to them there. "If we do this we shall become, first, a live opposition party, armed .with the knowledge of facts and practices upon questions that are always vital, and second we will deserve the support of the thinking people of the country and get it. "Our motto should be 'A truly -representative Republic honestly conduct ed and frugally administered.' " As Mr. Littleton could have received j the Vice-Presidential nomination at Denver, (hut he wouldn't take it) his ! remarks are certainly deserving of some consideration. Local Democrats generally agree that McCarren has "sounded the keynote," but as one man said: "We never get beyond the keynote stage. I gueps the matter of National politics Is a little too hig for us." Before buying elsewhere, inspect tho prices of watches, diamonds and jewelry at. Uncle Myers'. 14S 3d, near Alder.
