king Thebaw, of Burmah, has made a
complete surrender to the British. He is
very much frightened and begs Great Brit
ain to spare his life. The war was pre-
cipitated by King Thebaw's refusal to
arbitrate. He had levied heavy and ur-
gent tax on a trading company operating
under British charter. England sent a
message to the King suggesting arbitration,
but Thehaw insulted her Majesty's Gov
eminent by refusing to pay any attention
to the proposition.

on motion Of Mr. Edmunds. at 1926 o.
clock, the Senate took recess of half an
hour to await the organisation of the
House.
At precisely noon the House was called
to order by j. B. Clark, its clerk, ard the
first session of the Forty-ninth Congress

When order was secured the Clerk pro-
ceeded to call the roll of the members
elect. The call disclosed the presence of
three hundred and twenty members, the
only absentees being Messrs Miller, of
New York; Henderson, of North Carolina ;
Aiken, of South Caroline; Grain, of Texas,
and Croxtop, of Virginia.
Nominations for Speaker were then in
order, and Mr. Tucker of Virginia, was re-
cognised, who presented the name of James
Griffin Carlisle of Kentucky.
Mr.. Hiscock of New York, and Mr.. Can

Gentlemen of the House of Representa-
tives.-In assuming the duties and respon-
sibilties of this place for the second time
beg to return my most profound thanks for
this manifestation of your continued conf
dence. 1t is a compliment which l shall
always remember with pride and gratitude.
Nowhere else in the world can there be
found legislative assembly representing
so great constituency as that represented
by this House, ana certainly no similar
body consisting of an equal number of
members is its superior in point of ability
and devotion to the interests entrusted to
it. The privilege of presiding over the de-
liberations of such a body is a very high
and honorable distinclion-the highest and
most honorable it can confer on any Of it's
members, and ] appreciate it as SUCH"

A NEW PHASE TO THE ATLANTA FIGHT.
The trouble in Atlanta, says the Norfolk
Landmark. has just begun, and the contest
of the "Wet" and "Dry" parties promises
to become memorable. The latest develop
ment is by no means agreeable, and our
readers generally will agree with us in this,
when we say that a United States Judge
has granted temporary injunction against
declaring the result of the election. That
Federal Judge should claim and exercise
jurisdiction in SO purely domestic matter,
as temperance question fills us with amaze
ment If there is anything which belongs
especially to the community where agitated
it is the matter of local option, and we are
unable 20 see how the Judge can establish
his claim to jurisdiction. This. question of
the right of Federal Courts to proceed in
State matters by mandamus or injunction,
both powerful measures of relief or oppres-
sion, as the case may be, is one which OF
late has been advanced in a manner to
create great anxiety, for as things go the
chances seem to be that the rulings of the
Supreme Court of the United States will
presently degrade the Commonwealth OF
the Union to the rank of counties or pro-
vinces dependent on the central power
In Atlanta the action of the Court gives a
new element of interest to the struggle,
and we hope it may be made to appear that
the temporary injunction granted is with
out authority.

TIE R1cHMoNp MysrERY-The death Of

THE RICHMOND MYsTERY.-Thed death of
Miss Rachel Mcdonald, the old lady whose
dead body was found in her house Wednes-
day has not yet been fully explained. She
lived in an old dilapidated frame dwelling
in the western part of the city, not far from
the old reservoir, the scene of the Lillian
Madison murder. Miss Mcdonald had been
missing since Monday week. An entrance
was forced into her house Wednesday by
an intimate friend. She was found lying in
her room with her head almost severed from
her body and her hand covered with blood.
A search of the rooms occupied by the de-
ceased showed that her jewelry, valuable
dresses and all other portable property had
not been disturbed. Miss Mcdonald was
at one time manufacturer of regalias, and
amassed considerable money by her indus
try and economy. After she retired from
business, Miss Mcdonald continued to live
in Richmond, but some time ago took up
her residence in the old house in which her
dead body was found.
A razor, stained with blood, was found
near the woman's body. Whether this was
the property of the dead woman or of some
one else is not definitely known, but is sup
posed to have belonged to the deceased.
Opinion is divided as to whether The case is
one of suicide or murder.
A physician, who examined the booy and
the wounds testified before the coroner's in
quest that, in his opinion, Miss McDenald's
death was a plain case of suicide.
