city, and many footlight favorites are COM
PEELED to retire temporarily. The disease
has proven fatal in more than one case.
Pauline Halls brother, Frederick, is dead.

Russell, Agnes Booth. Louis Massen, Neil
Burgess and several members of the
County Fair company, Charles Hoyt
and five of the Brass Monkey" combina

The London DAILY News has been forced
to admit that the influenza is true cpl

CANADIAN PARLIAMENT.
A Fight Between Catholic and Orange
Members.

OTTAWA, January 4'h.-The session of
Parliament, which opens on the 10th inst,
it is understood will be lively. One reso-
luton will be introduced to abolish the
French as the official language in the
Canadian Northwest. 0raDgemen will
seek to secure its incorporation, but will
have to count or the opposition of all the
Roman Catholic members Of Parliament.
The House will at an early date consider
the fishery question, and probably name
the future policy of the Government in re-
gard to Americans fishing in Canadian
waters.
There was a disposition to revert to the
treaty of 1918, but Sir Charles Upper OBJ
jected to such course. This may result
in a modification of the Governments pro-
posed policy.
Sir Charles seeks TO pursue conciliatory
policy in view OF the unsettled state of the
Behring Sea question, as British interests
there are largely involved.

Chinese Cheap Labor in the Chicago
Medical Profession.
CHICAGO. January 4th.-A Coroner's jury
to-day held an inquest into the cause Of
the death of a Chinaman. He was attended
by Dr. Nam, Chinese physician, who re-
turned a certificate of death from consump-
ton. This certificate was rejected by the
Board of Health, because Nam has no
license from the State Medical Bureau.
The Coroner's jury to-day not only found
the cause of death, but recommended that
DIR. Nam be held to await the action of the
Grand Jury for practicing medicine with
out license.
AS Nam cannot get a license, he claims
that he has a better record than many OF
his white medical brethren. He claims
that they are bound together in opposition

SEATTLE, January 4th.-A dispatch was
received here this evening from Utsalady,
Friday Island, stating that the body of DR..
Minor had been recovered, and asking
what should be done with it. The partic-
ulars of the drowning of DR.. Minor, G.

been lost with all on board She was COM

PORTLAND, January 4th.-The report thai
a vessel has been cap.ized off the coas'
north of the Columbia river is assumed in
shipping circles here to be correct. No
doubt but that the unfortunate vessel is the
schooner Douglass Dearborn.
This morning Captain Frederick Bos-
worth, Marine Surveyor, received a dis
patch from Arthur Sewall & Co, of Bath.
Maine, asking if the report is true. Sewall
g. Co. announced that they would start a
tug out from Astoria at once to examine
the foundered vessel.
The Dearborn is valued at $4,000. She
is an old schooner, and what sailors term
very cranky. There are no tidings of the
missing Wide West.

Both Desire to Secure More Territory in
Africa.

LONDON, January 4th.-The Government
has received intelligence of the safety of
Johnston, the British Consul at Mozam-
bique, who is travelling through the interior
of Africa, and who is charged by the Portu-
guese papers with having intrigued with
the natives against the Portuguese in the
territory along Shire river. Johnston IN
pacifed the Karrangero and subsidized tie
Kotakot, and has by treaty secured West
ern Nyanza to the British.
The Portuguese reached KatuDgas where
the remaining MakololCs, trusting to Brit
ish protection, refused to surrender the
British flags that had been presented to
them when called upon to DO so by the Por-
| tuguese commander. The Portuguese
thereupon again searched the steamers and
compelled them to lower their ensigns.
Fighting in Africa is believed to be certain.

Stephen LaPlant, Frenchman, whose

Mr.. Peytor, the clerk, threw open his coat

cuts and bruises on bis face and neck,
aud remarked, How ia this ?r Mr.
Peytou asked Goodrich how it hap
pensd. Goodrich said II fell against
a chair In my room and hurt myself"
Goodrich went to bis room, but did not call
10 a physician until the next day. He made
cor tlicting statements as to how be received

orable event in Richmond. From all parts
OF the State came men of distinction to be
present upon the great occasion. Never be-
fore has there been such q jam and such a

tors and clerks and o rich array of fair
women crowded in the historic building and
looked on at the making of history. Congress
men Rooney" Lee and George d. Wise ran
down from Washington to swell the crowd.

molly and perhaps a hundred more men, not
members of the Legislatures, but prominent

parts of the hall Immediately after the new
Governor had taken the oath of office.
Governor Mckinney did not care to speak,
however, and with becoming modesty he
bowed at the magnificent reception that had
been accorded him. Hoge Tyler came
limping up to the clerks desk when the
sacred book was held out for him to kiss.
He looked every inch a man as he stood be
fore the great crowd and swore that he
will uphold the constitution and the laws of
his country. The gallant soldier who had
won hono,s on the 6eld of battle and In
political life was the cynosure OF all eyes.
Ten minutes afterwards he showed the
metal he was made of when about to take
the chair In the Senate. His speech upon the
occasion waa indeed splendid, and when he
CONCLUDED there was q spontaneous outburst
of applause. Mrs. Mckinney was at the
side of her husband when be took the oath
of office, and close to Hoge Tyler stood his
charming wife when her distinguished hns-
band began bis official career as Lieutenant.
