Opened by Emperor William With
Great Pomp.
BERLIN, Nov. 22.-The Reichstag was
opened by the Emperor with great pomp
in Knights Hall, the royal palace, this
morning. In his address opening the
session the Emperor said the develop
ment Of the military power of other Eu-
ropean nations imposed on Germany the
imperative duty Of strengthening her
defensive capacity by thoroughgoing
measures. The Emperor then pro-
ceeded to speak of the proposed military
bill, which. while a modified peace effect
i've, renders possible the utilization OF the
defensive to the full limit. This would,
he said. demand further sacrifices for the
Fatherland, which he relied on the patri-
otism OF the people to make. The bill,
he said while reducing the service in the
army to the extreme limit which could
be conceded, would extend training and
employment to younger men. In order
to enable the Federal States to make pro-
visions for means to strengthen the army
bills should be introduced in the Buud-
esrath for further taxation of beer and
brandy and for further taxation of Bourse
transactions. He appealed to the Reich
stag to sustain the patriotic course which
he had marked out.
With the exception of his reference to
GerInany's friendly foreign relations, the
Emperor's speech was coldly received by
the evening papers.
The National Zeitatng complains that
the speech contained nothing new in re-
gard to the army bill.
The ultra-conseryative Kre1tz Zeitung
says an unpreiudiced person can scarcely
obtain from the speech any other i'm
preston than that the empire. under the
present economic conditions, is rather in
need of economy than new and large de-
mands.

Test Vote Cn Preliminary Questions
Against the Accused.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 22.-Test votes taken
on the preliminary questions arising in
the case of Professor Henry +. Smith to-
day show a strong majority opposed to
him. The first vote was upon the suffi-
cheney of the first charge, declaring Smith
taught that minister may abandon the
essential features of the system of the
doctrine held by the church which he re-
ceived and adopted at ordination, and
still rightfully retain his position as a
minister in the church. Smith objected
to this charge as not specific. The OBJ
lection was lost-l9 to 81. Then the Pres
bytery took up the specification on an
under charge, stating that he taught in an
article in the New ork EUdnqeLi% that
the acceptance Cf doctrines was only re-
quired of ministers at the time of taking
ordination VOWS, and specification two,
which asserted that he taught that
whether the minister departed from the
doctrines can only be determined by ju-
dicial process. 10 both of these specifi-
cations Smith objected that they were in
sufficient in form and legal effect, and did
not support the charges. The objection
to the first specification was not sus-
tained-25 to 81. The vote on the second
specification was % to 35. In order to
make the action positive, Rev. DR.. Bryan
moved that the court declare the first
charge and specifications sufficient in
form and legal effect, and this was car
ried-ayes 36, nays %. This makes a
formal trial on this charge at least neces-

Ten Thousand People Witness a Hang

HUNTINGToN CIV. Na.), Nov. 22.-AIlen
Harrison, aged q, was hanged here this
afternoon for the murder of his sweet
heart. The execution was in a field two
miles from the jail and ten thousand peo-
pie witnessed the hanging.
Shortly before hanging he made a
statement. He said he had 10 recOllec-
ton Of the murder and supposed if he did
it it was while under the influence OF
morphine.
The crime for which Allen Harrison
was executed was committed in April,
1892. He was q years of age and Of pc
culiar likes and dlslikes. He became en-
amored with pretty Hettie Adams, the
I7-year-old daughter Of Frank Adams, a
prosperous farmer living at Ona in this
county, and when she repelled his adj
vances he determined he would kill her
and then commit suicide. He purchased
a bottle of laudanum and a revolver,
swallowed the drug at his home and went
direct to the home of the girl. He found
her at the kitchen stove building a fire.
Stealing in close to her, he fired a bullet
into her heart, killing her instantly. He
then slipped away quietly and went
home to die. But the drug had been
weakened by age, and when the excited
neighbOrs dragged him from his home he
was soon brought out of the stupor into
which he had fallen and was placed un-
der arrest for murder. The affair created
great excitement and lynching bee was
narrowly averted. The last term of the
Circuit Court tried and convicted Har-
rison for murder in the first degree and
Judge Harvey sentenced him to be
hanged

The License of Her Captain Revoked
for Negligence.
SEATTLE, Nov. 22.-The Board of Local
Marine inspectors last night gave a de-
cision holding Captain John A. O'Brien
guilty of negligence i'll strandinp the
whaleback steamer Charles w. Wetnore
on the night OF September Sth, off Coos
Bay, and has revoked his license.
The decision says: 1T appears by the
courses and distances given by Cantain
O'Brien, that the ship ought to have been
nearly forty miles OIL shore at midnight
September Sth, but half an hour aftar
midnight she grounded off Coos Raw
The CAPTAIN claims that he found her
position bV observation some eight hourS
before she struck; that his position agreed
with his position by dead reckoning, and
the ship was set ashore by strong
easterly current. together with heeling
error. By these causes he accounts for
the strandihg of the vessel. 1t is appar-
ent that Captain O'Brien's observations
were not correct. 1t is evident that if the
courses given by the compass were
steered they were not made, and we have
no doubt that a close observer and care
ful navigator would have noticed the
change in the water and the character of
the swell in time to have changed the
shlp's course and to have taken her out
o! DANGER We think there Is no reasona-
bLe excuse 1or running the steamer
ashore on this coast in fair weather, even
though II be foggy. Had the ship been
carefully navigated she would not in our
opinion have stranded. Had the ships
course been changed to southwest, paral-
lei with the land for few hours she
would have cleared the cape all right.v

EXCLUSION ACT.

How the Chinese Will Attempt to De-
feat the Law.
WASHINGTON, Nov. %. - Word has
reached here from Philadelphia that the
Chinese in that city propose to try to de-
feat the Geary law by means of fictitious
photographs, the same as at Baltimore.
1t is believed in Philadelphia and Bali-
more that a scheme is now on foot among
the Chinese all over the country to defeat
the purposes Of the Chinese Exclusion
Act. The promoter of it is the Hip Sin
Tong, powerful fraternal society, which
mas six branches-Junk, Lee, Ching Shu,
Young and Mick-em bracing every State
in the Union. The Hip Sin Tong is hav-
ing photographs turned out by the thou
sands to supply any Chinaman who may
need one. The colony in this city has
been notified that a batch of pictures
would be sent to them in a few days, from
which they can select as many as they
wish and return the balance. Photo
graphs are being sent all over the coun
try, and in a few weeks each colony will
have enough on tap to meet any demand
that might be made upon them.
1t is reported that the Chinese are try
ing to secure the services of Robert @. In
gersoll and General b. f. Butler to test
the constitutionality of the Geary law.

OMAHA, Nov. 22.-Four people were
killed and three injured by a wreck on
the Union Pacific at Aida, Neb. The
wreck was caused by a collision between
the Overland Flyer, due at Omaha at
1910 this morning, and a freight train,
which had just pulled out Of the Aida
yard. Both engines were completely
smashed, the baggage and postal cars
telescoped and the freight cars piled up
in broken mass.
The wreck was one of the worst on the
Union Pacific for several years. 1t was
due to the criminal negligence of the
switch tender. The freight train had
been doing some switching, and had
backed in on a siding to await the passage
of the fast express train. 1t was supposed
that the switch had been set for the main
track, but the opposite was the case, and
the passenger train, coming at a rate Of
forty-fiye miles an hour. crashed into the
freight with terrible force.
The killed are J. W. Keller, conductor
of the freight; Barney Mcdonald, pas
Senger engineer; Gus Barrett, freight
engineer; Ira Owens, freight fireman.
The injured are William Costello, pas
senger fireman; A. NJ. Lyons, mail
agent; William Sutherland, freight
brakeman. The first two will die. No
passengers were hurt.
LATER-Fireman Costello and Brake
man Sutherland died this evening.
The Coroner's inquest developed the
fact that Conductor Kellar was RESPONSE
ble for the open switch.
