Opening of Parliamenf.-A Speaker
 EIected-The HO Ra e ER s.fers Take Seats
 with the Conservatives.
 LONDON, April 29.-Parliament was formally opened to day by Lord Selborne, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyll, Earl Gran vile, Earl Sydney and Lord Northbrook act ing as royal commission. The procedure merely consisted in summoning the Commons to the bar of the House of Lords and request ing them to elect Speaker. There was fair attendance of the Commons, including many of the new members. Only twenty Tory and fourteen Liberal peers two bishops and fif- teen peeresses were present in the House of Lords. In the House of Commons there was 8 meagre attendance of Irish members, be- cause the meeting for conference on the land question at Dublin to-day detained Mr. Parnell and his adherents there. Some of the Irish members, including Messrs ODonnell and Finnigan, sat on the Tory side of the House and some on the Liberal side. The House was very crowded, both on the floor and in the galleries.
 All the members of the House having been sworn in and taken their seats, the election of oPedheE was ue4t III OrQef, ana as was eX = pected Rt. Hon. H. B. ". Brand, member from Cambridgeshire, was elected. MT. Brand was born in 1874, and is the second son of the twenty first Baron Dacre He entered Parliament in 1852, and continued as member until upon the retirement of Speaker Dennison in 1872 he was unanimous y elected Speaker, being again elected Speaker in 1874, and now again Speaker of the House. He IS the first Commoner in the realm, and ranks next after barons. He has salary of f5, 900 year and an elegantly furnished resi- dence in the Palace of Westminster Parlia- ment house, and has at his disposal large patronage. Upon his election being announced he was conducted to the robing room, where he assumed the long robe and full bottomed wig which the Speaker wears during the sit ting of the House. He was then escorted to the Speakers chair beneath the canopy, and at at the same time the sergeant-at-arms lifted the mace from it's resting place and placed it on the table in front of the Speaker, where it re- mains as long as he is in the chair, When the selection of seats by the members had ended, it was observed that the Home Rulers had taken their seats on the opposition bench es with the Conservatives. This caused some speculation, but the incident is not regarded as possessing any great political significance
 The following appointments are announced: The Marquis of Larsdeane, Under Secretary for India Earl Marley, Under Secretary for War; Right Hon. Peed, Under Secretary for the Home Department; MT. Brassey, Civil Lord of the Admiralty.

The Decline in Fire Insurance.

The Decline in Fire InSurauces
 NEW YORK, April 29.-Fire insurance off ciaIs confirm the report to the National Board of Fire Underwriters by the president, Alfred G. Baker, and say that insurance risks are as great to-day as they were ten years ago and premiums not onethird of what they were. A great disaster Of fire would wipe out large percentage of the companies, just as the two great fires in Chicago and Boston swept one hundred companies out and imperiled sixty five more. They claim that the Legislatures are continually making laws to cripple fire in surance and reduce the value of receipts which form the basis on which policies are paid. D. A. Heald, of the Home Insurance Company, said their premiums last year ag- gregated $2, ,50O, ,OoO, and their profits were less than $8,OOO, or about one-third of one per cent. Other companies had suffered ac- tual loss. It is stated by officers of other companies that the average expense and losses have been $1 for every dollar received for premiums.

Investigation of tue Whitaker Out
 rage.


 WEST POINT, April 29.-In the Whitaker case today Cadet Catlin testified: He had spoken five or six times to Whitaker, and had called on him in his room, remaining half hour; this was before the outrage, and it was known to some of the cad Is, but it made no difference to them so far as witness was con- | cerned he had also called on him since the outrage; witness came from New Hampshire, and was appointed by Senator Blair | Frank Michler, adjutant of the Military | Academy and secretary of the Academic Board, testified as to Whittaker's demerit record. He said Whitaker had 179 dsmerits from October, 1876, to March of this year,
 but had number removed by credit, which 1 left htm 80 demerits. Ihs cadets were al
 lowed 100 demerits every six months, or 800 in all, without being marked deficient; 59 of l of the 99 offences reported against him had been removed by the superintendent l for those fifty nine he would have re- ceived one hundred and thirtythree demer- | it's; he had been punished for but four of fences in three and half years, once for carelessness in artillery drill, another time for | having dirty gun, and the two other times | for being out of bed at "Taps ;" in addition l he received twelve punishments for having received more than certain number of de-
 merits in one month; in demerits now he stands remarkably we'll; not half a dozen ca dets in the corps have so good 8 record. Lieutenant Coffin, in command of Whitta = ksr's company, testified that Whittaker's 8 character as soldier is very good indeed. Witness has net had occasion to report him a single time because he always pays strict at 1 tention to his duties.
 Professor George L. Andrews was called. | He said the word of cadet is perfectly trust 1 worthy; the common law in the corps is, when cadet is caught lying he is treated with utter contempt and suffers social ostracism :; | he knows of one cadet who has not to this l day recovered from such ostracism, and said the corps was Nthe best body of young men for truth and veracity he ever came in contact | with their whole training goes to inculcate the highest principles of strict honor, integ- rity and truth. When abroad the principals l of French schools had expressed to him great | reliance as to the truthfulness of their schol- ars but he judged, from what he was told, that they were not quite so successful as here. Professor Mitchie testified substantially to the same effect.
