It's Proposed Establishm to Meet
Certain Contingencies.
BERLIN, Jan. 3.-The North German ca
zettc denies that any court circle has pro-
posed to establish regency to meet the
contingency of the sudden death Of En-
peror William and the inability of the
1t is not true, the Gazette says, that the
Crown Prince consulted Baden statesmen
on the proposal that he should abdicate. Al
though the GGzettc'S language is emphatic,
the former statement that the conditions of
the abdication of the Crown Prince had
been the subject of negotiations remains
authentic. 1t is understood to have been
issued under a demand from San Reno.

certain doctor came to Chicago and COM

Health interfered and revoked the doctors

against the State Board in the Circuit Court.
To-day Judge Waterman decided the
case, and declared the act of the
State Board of Health unconstitu-

its action was to be held legal in this case,
could summarily try and punish for

the Two Houses.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The unfinished
business of the Senate is the Blair education
bill, which comes up at 2 o'clock tomorrow
1t is expected, however, that it will be in
formally laid aside to give Mr.. Sherman an
opportunity to make a speech upon the
Presidents message and that it VIII be
again formally laid aside to afford Senator
VOORHEES, an opportunity to make a tariff
speech.
Senator Mitchell has given notice of his
purpose to address the Senate to morrow
upon his resolution providing for a commits
sion to select a site for a naval station on
the Pacific coast
There are twenty-three bills reported
From Senate committees awaiting action,
but none y Aasu are pressing for imme-

the speeches of Senators Sherman and
Voorhees may be the beginning Of long
tariff debate.

Speaker Carlisle was in his private room
at the capitol this morning busily engaged
IN finishing his committee assignments. He
Was,subject to such constant Interruptions,
however, that he was obliged to leave the
capitol and seek quietude at his hotel AL
though the committee list is practically
completed, and will, in all probability, be
announced as soon as the House assemblies
tomorrow, there is possibility that few
changes at the last moment will so disar-
range the work as to necessitate postpone
nent OF the announcement until the follow
ing day. The committees having been
announ ed an effort will he made to have a

inns effect would require unanimous consent,
and as many members think it would be un-
wise TO have food of propositions poured

non OF the committees, it is improbable that
me effort will succeed In the event of its
failure the House will adjourn until Satur-
DAY, and the real work of the session will
begin next Monday.

formidable obstruction to the passage of the
boats. The dam is badly damaged, but to
what extent will not be known until next
summer, as 20 attempt will be made to raise
the wickets until that time. This was the
first opportunitysthe coal men have had to
ship coal by river for eight months, and the
failure of the wickets TO work has occa-
stoned considerable grumbling.

RYAN MADE MORE WORK
Speaker Carlisle said to the NEWS cor
respondent this evening that he expected to

Mr.. Ryan, of Kansas, by declining to-day
to take the place given him at the foot of
the Republicans, on the Ways and Means
Committee, compelled the Speaker to go all
over the work of filling this place again
AS soon as Mr.. Ryan's declination was
known friends of other men who wanted
the place renewed their efforts to
get in. The California Republicans
waited upon the Speaker this evening and
urged him to put Pacific coast Republican
in that place, so that that section might be
represented on the committee At a late
hour the Speaker had not decided who
should be put in this place. Otherwise the
committee will stand as announced in these
dispatches The chairmen of the import
ant committees given in these dispatches
Sunday night have not been changed.

Francisco road to-day sent notice to the
Southwestern Association that on Jan. 10 it
would reduce the rate on corn to st, Louis
Sc, from all stations in Kansas. The chair
man has netified the Association roads, and
on that date the grain rates from Kansas
City to Chicago will oe forced down &c. a
hundred or to l5c. Omaha rates must fol-
low. so that the reduction on grain
rates is certain throughout the territory be
tween Chicago and the Missouri liver. The
Burlington road flied notice to-day that it
will retaliate with p per cent. reduction
on the rates on live stock in common cars
when the Rock Island road on Jan. 10 be-
gins hauling live stock i'll improved cars at
the same rate as for common cars. The

believe that live stock rates from Kansas

Recent Proclamation.
DUBLIN, Jan. S.-The Telegraph declares
that the opposition of the farmers to the
plan of Lord Londonderry to hunt IN the

being proclaimed under the crimes act
The Viceroy, it says, recently rented a
hunting seat in that county. The farmers
convention hearing of this resolved not to
allow hunting over their farms, and the
county was thereupon proclaimed. In re-

plication of the Foley Hardware Company

The court held good the demurrers to the
company's answers, and decided tLat under
the statutes the company was bound to
furnish every applicant with complete
outfit of instruments and connections.

was not furnishing private wires or private
telephones, but that it established public
stations throughout the city at which each
person upon the payment of DC. could be
placed ia communication with all portions
of the system. The court held that the
company was engaged in a general tele
phone business, and was bound to furnish
all persons applying for service with tele-
phone and telephone connections at their
