Kerney's Trial.

LONDON, April 30.-At the Bow street
police court to-day the trial of Capt. Ed
mund II. Ncrney, member of parliament
for North Buckinghamshire, charged with
instigating the procuration of the gov
erness, Miss Nellie Beckett, for immoral
purposes, adjourned from Friday last, was
continued. The courtroom was crowded
with people of all classes, who were de-
sirous OF hearing the sensational testi-
mony which it was expected would be
the feature of this days hearing of this
celebrated case. Many letters signed "Wl-
SON." the name which Capt. Verney is
being in Capt. Verney's handwriting Hall,
to the fact that the letters addressed
TO "Wilsonn were duly forwarded at
Capt. Ferney's request TO the various ad-
dresses. This testimony seemed to have
considerable effect upon the friends Of
Capt Nerney, who were present in court
and the prisoners assurance seems to be
decidedly weakening.
But this evidence had mild effect in
comparison with the great sensation which
was caused in the police court. when the
woman, named Louise Adeline, keeper of a
hotel situated in Rue Laftte, Paris,
testified to the fact that Capt.
Verney had called upon her on
seven or eight different occasions and asked
her to procure for him two or three girls,
promising her 100 frances if she succeeded.
Witness added that in spite of the captains
solicitations and the inducements which he
held forth, she positively refused to under
take the procuration referred to.
Capt. Verney was finally held for trial and
the bail was increased from $4,000 to SIS,

mons having been summoned to the senate
chamber, his excellency was pleased 70
open the first session of the Seventh par
Lament of the Dominion of Canada with

Honorable Gentlemen OF the Senate and
Gentlemen of the House of Commons-I
am glad to welcome you to the first session
Of the new parliament, which l hope will be
memorable for its wise deliberations and
for measures adapted of progress and de-
yelopment TO the Dominion.
My advisers, availing themselves of op-
portunltleS which were presented in the
closing months of last year, caused the
United States to be notified of the willing
ness of the government of Canada to join in
asking efforts for extension and develop
ment of trade between the republic and the
dominion, as well as for friendly adjust
ment of those matters Of international
character which remain unsettled. l am
pleased to say that these representations
have resulted in the assurance that in De-
tober next the government of the United
States will be prepared to enter into con-
ference to consider the best means of ar
irving at practical solution of these i'm
portant questions.
Papers relating TO this subject will be
laid before you. Under the circumstances,
and in the hope that the proposed coufer-
ence may result in arrangements beneficial
10 both countries, you will be called upon
to consider the eXpediency of extending for
the present session the principal provisions
of the Washington treaty OF 1888, known as
the ''Modus Vivendi''
A disposition having been manifested in
the United Kingdom to impose on seagoing
ships engaged in the cattle trade increased
safeguards for life and greater restrictions
against improper treatment of cattle, care
ful inquiry has been made as to the Incl
dents Of that trade in so far as this country
is concerned. While l am glad to learn
that our shipping is free from reproaeh in
that regard, your attention will be invited
TO measures which will remove all reason
able apprehensions of abuses arising in the
future in connection with so important a
branch of our commerce.
You Will be asked to consider amend
ments TO acts relating to Northwest terri
tories, TO the exchequer court act and to
acts relating to trade marks.
Gentlemen of the house of commons
Accounts for the past year will be SUBJ
mitted to you. The revenue, after pro-
viding for the service to which you appro-
priated it, has left surplus for works
which you design to be carried on by capital
Estimates for the coming year
will be laid before you at an early date.

NEW YORK April 30.-London was chief
factor in the stock market to-day, Arbitrage
houses receiving an immense number OF
orders in all American stocks dealt in on
the other side, including inactive securities
like Kansas and Texas and Norfolk and
Western preferred. The total purchases
for London account in the first hour
amounted to $4,000 shares or nearly one
half the entire business.
Although the weekly statement of the
Bank of England showed quite heavy losses
in reserves, the directors did not raise the
discount rate. The monetary lightneSs in
London is due chiefly to the flow of funds
to Scotland and Ireland and the fact that
the rate was not raised was apparently
enough for London operators and London
prices for Americans were strong and our
own market opened strong. st. Paul was
by far the most active feature of the
tensively. They also bought other
stocks to lesser extent. Union Pacific,
Burlington and Quincy and Missouri Pacl-
fc were other strong stocks.
It is noticeable that trading has been
gradually diminishing in volumes during
the past few days. This is not generally
supposed to mean that the bull movement
is on the wane, but many persons are dis
posed to think that some definite news of
favorable character must come out before
the market will again become as active as
il was a week ago.
To-day's market was more active. Stocks
of anthracite coal roads are very strong.
Money was bid up 10 6 per cent in the
afternoon.
The bond market was active and strong
and the notable features of the market were
Reading issues, Oregon Improvement SIS
and Kansas and Texas 2's, which were all
actively dealt in and advanced sharply.
Wisconsin Central incomes were also strong
and advanced over 2 per cent. Final prices
were generally about yesterdays. Ad

Governor Hogg learned of the receipt cf
the message and he promptly declared tha1
the president had no power to grant tho
permission asked.
If any one was To say whether or not
the soldiers of another nation, in time OF

said, 1t should De the governor of that

The discussion that followed ended in tho
presidents acceptance of the governors
position, and the request was answered by

The incident is not only interesting in IL
ancient relation between states and the
Federal government. which were cstab-
lished by the constitution. but was dis
turbed by war and left for some time after
ward in an uncertain condition until the
supreme court came to the rescue of the
constitution.
Late Justice Miller laid down principles
which governed the decision of such ques-
tons as that just raised i'll Texas. when Ia
said, in his striking address before the law
alumni of Michigan University in 1881;
1T may be considered now us settled that
with the exception of specific provisions in
the the new and last constitutional amend
ments for the protection of the personal
rights of the citizens and people of the
United States and necessary restrictions
upon the power of the states for that pur-
pose, with the power of the general gov
eminent to enforce those provisions, no
substantial change has been made by the
civil war. The necessity of the great pow
ers conceded by the constitution originally
TO the Federal government was an equal
necessity to the autonomy of the states and
their power TO regulate their domestic
affairs, remain as great features of our
complex form of government

GUTHRIE, o. T., April 3O-Hon. John c.
Robinson, the Iowa alloting agent, and Col.
Eugene F. Weigel, special travelling agent
of the interior department, were in the city
yesterday direct from the Iowa country,
and concerning the dispatches recently sent
out from the Sac and Fox agency, which
states that the Iowa's had refused to re-
ceive their land in allotment, Agent Robin
son said:
"The facts set out in that dispatch were
true week ago, but since an amicable ar
rangemeut has been brought about and the
Indians are taking their allotments without
objection. The principal trouble in both
Iowa and Sac and Fox allotments has been
to get the Indians out of the idea that they
could have body of land for village
where they could come in for their sun
dances, have congregation of tepees and
place to Craze their ponies during the fes-
tival. The Indians are loath to give up
their last home, where they were allowed
at least little freedom, and. while the pro-
vision of the treaties which they have al
ready signed forbid their having dance
grounds, tepees and the like, as matter of
course, they now. at the last moment make
objections, but to no avail, and the alloting
is now in rapid progress"
MIR. Robinson has sixty days from April
II to allot the IowaS; but will finish his
work before then. There are Ill names on
the rolls. lney get Sixty acres apiece,
$500 in cash and $24OO in breeding and
farm stock, agricultural implements. and
seed; besides the S4S annually, the latter
being due in September and the former as
soon as the allotments are completed
There are three agents at work in the Sac
and Fox reservations and the allotments
are being rapidly made. In the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe reservations five agents are
required to do the work The agents have
been Amounted and will SnOn begin their
work. Each allotting commission has

Guilty, ande.lmost the only one to etimpede
progress in this work, is thecdificulties in
