Humbert was given an enthusiastic reception.
In opening the session his majesty said: 1.-The
year drawing to a close will be long memorable
in our history. The ancient glories Of Italy
have furnished fresh cause for legitimate pride.
My soul is still penetrated with the feelings
stirred by the homage recently received at
Genoa from representatives of the most
civilized nations These assurances OF
sympathy and respect are much the
more gratifying in view of the
unity Of purpose binding my house and peo-
pie. regard what is done for me az all done
for my people. see in the honors bestowed
upon me in Genoa universal testimony that
Italy maintains her position as the unwearied
supporter of concord and peace. My govern
ment, in concert with it's allies, endeavors by
vigilant care to preserve Europe from any cause
Of dissension. Your labors will commence
amid guarantees of peace"
Adverting to the finances Of the country his
majesty said: Equilibrium will be attained

the proposed reduction in the army expendi-
lures. Other bills will be presented dealing

lectual renaissance Of our country and to
see our dear Italy strong, prosperous
and great. such as those who suf-
fered and died for her in the
past pictured her future to themselves. 1 de-

A MOST UNIQUE CEREMONY.
Raising the Flag Over the Turkish Pavil
ion Mt Chicago.

kb81sinS inc r Tag over the turkish PavlI-
ion at Chicago.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 23.-The star and cres-
cent of Turkey flies from a flagstaff in the
scaffolding from which the Turkish pavilion is
to rise at the world fair grounds. The ceremony
of raising the flag took place in the presence
of all the sultans subjects who have come to
take part IN the exposition as well as many
who had come especially from Turkey for the
occasion. most unique ceremony it was.
The most solemn rites of the Moslem faith
were performed by the Turks. snow-whIte
lamb, perfect and without blemish, the pick of
a tock Of 5000, was led to the sacrifice.
Reverentialy stood the sad-eyed sons of Mo-
BANNED, with arms in praying position and
eyes turned skyward. The hand of one Of the
Turks held keen-edged scimetar.
A prayer by the prelate, petition to the
great prophet punctured with solemn salaams
and the man with the curved steel kneeied be-
side the sacrifcal victim siiken sash hid its two
big eyes the neck was barred beneath the thick
growing wool. As the knife laid upon les
flesh the blood gushed forth an effendi stopped
low and thrust his hand deep into the bleeding
cash. The prelate drew his hand from the neck
of the sacrifice. The effendi sprinkled the
blood upon the foundation of the sultan's pa
vilion.
Down came tae stars and stripes in saluta-
ton as the red flag of the Ottoman empire with
its white crescent and lone star was hoated
from top of the staff. Thus Abdul Hamid II
formally announced himself a patron of the
worlds fair, and his faithful subjects pledged
anew their allegiance to him in this distant
land.
The staying Of the sheep was typical of Abra-
hams willing sacrifice of Isaac, which God
stayed at the last moment, bidding Abraham to
substitute for his a lamb. Then the two
high priests called aloud in Turkish: "Patishoene
Pok Yacho" God give long life to the sultan
and the President of the United States).
This was repeated three times by all the
Turks present. Takki Boy, commissioner to
the fair from Turkey, then addressed the as
semblage, after VIII CHI everybody was invited to
the tent of the sultan, where the guests we're
served with luncheon.

sPROUsE THE DESPERATE.
He Passes Through Chattanooga Guarde,
and Heavily Ironed.

ne Tasses through chattanooga Guarded
and Heavily Ironed.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. 23.-The des-
perado, moonshiner and murderer, Tap Sprouse,
passed through Chattanooga this morning in
charge Of United States Deputy Marshals Gee
Barnes and J. F. Sorren The prisoner was
heavily ironed. He is typical mountaineer in
dress and appearance.
Deputy Marshal Sorrell, who lives at Alfalfa
and was one Of the attacking party last January
when the officers had battle with the moon
sinners on Sand mountain, several men being
killed, says there were eleven deputies in the
posse which attacked the desperadoes in their
fortified camp. He says the officers
were repulsed. Sprouse wanted to know this
morning whether he was arrested for the Bridge
port affair. where two men were killed and
thrown into the creek, or for the Sand noun
tain shooting.
When questioned about the Bridgeport MUIR
ders he refused to talk.
John Sprouse, brother Of the prisoner was
on the train and held several whispered CONSUL
tations with him: The deputy marshall ex-
pressed considerable anxiety lest an attempt
should be made to secure their prisoner.

ASSISTANT sEC'Y BUssEY.s REPORT.
Important ststemen. In Regard to the Work
of the Pension Odsc~

The annual report Of Gen. Cyrus Bussey. the
assistant secretary Of the interior. has been re-
ceive1 by Secretary Noble. II deals exclu--
lively With the work OF the board Of
pension appeals. of which the assistant secretary
has direct charge, and with the purchase Of In
dian supplies .; the government warehouse at
New York.
The report shows that on July 1. 1891. therc
were $3.50 appealed pension cases on Gle with
the board and that this number on June so
1892. had been reduced 20 4.S49 There were
4,25s appeals fled during the year;
of the 1889 cases acted upon during the
year the decision of the commissioner sus-
tanned in S.s65. Action was reversed In s6a
cases, 20I were dismissed and .os cases were re-
considered by the commissioner pending
appeal In his discussion Of pensions
Gen. Bussey calls attention to several
defects in pension legislation. As an instance OF
such defects he SAYS that from an carly date in
the history Of our pension system
there have prevailed under different
administrations conflicting opinions to the
power to enforce the mbur sement Of money
paid IN excess for pensions in conformity with
either inaccurate or Illegal certificates issued
through mistakes, either OF fact or OF law In the
adjudication OF claims by the bureau Of pensions:
and. consequently. in the absence Of a clear
legal provision on the subject, the government
having noauthority TO plead past overpayment
as offset to current payments of pensions. has been
compelled TO submit to serious LOSSES o..
money. which, having been once improperly
paid either TO claimants or pensioners,
were irrecoserH5le under any established rule
OF departmental practice.
A memorable illustration Of this fact was
given in a large number of applications for re-
rating and for increase that were
fled In the bureau of pensions
during the years 1897. 1855 and
1889, upon which considerable sums OF money
were paid improperly 20 certain rem
sioners by the authority of the Com
missioner, in violation of both law and prac-
tice, but without either the knowledge
or the consent Of the Secretary-losses for
which there should have been a reimbursement

Dredging Gowanus Raw.

The War Department has decided to readver-
tise for proposals for dredging Gowanus Bay.
New York harbor. In answer to the original
advertisement two proposals were received, one
from the W. H. Beard Dredging Company and
one from the international Dredging Company.
The contract was awarded TO the hitter COM
pany, which put in the lowest aggre-
gate bid, but the Beard company con-
tested the award on the ground that the bid
was irregular. Inspection was made, with
the result that both bids were found to
be defective one containing reservation in
favor of more time in the event of a cholera
epidemic and the other including condition
involving the operation Of the eight-hour law.
For these reasons both bids were rejected
and new proposals have been called for.

FIGHTING FOR SILVER,
Lobbying Among the Delegates to the Mon
efarY Confereuca for Rimet

Lobbying Among the Delegates to the Mon
etary Conference for Bimetallism.
BRUssELs, Nov. 23.-Gov. Van Hoegarden of
the National Bank of Belgium will give re-
ception on the 7th Of December in honor of the
delegates to the international monetary con-
gress. Leading Rnanciers have been invited,
and the affair will be very brilliant.
great deal Of lobbying is going on among
the delegates, those Of one view ON the subject
Of bimotalism trying to win over the others. The
result seems to be in English hands. A
delegate who favors bimetalism says that
France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Rus
sia, the United States and India. all hold
ing large stocks of silver, would be
only too pleased to join with Great
Britain in establishing a bimetallic union;
Germany would have no motive for remaining
outside; Egypt and the English colonies would
follow England's lead; all the south American
states, II only from considerations Of conven-
fence, would range themselves in line.
1t ia no exaggeration to say that il England
would lead the way a worldwide bimetallic
union could be formed with more ease than the
existing worldwide postal union.
The Germans seem inclined to follow the lead
OF Great Britain. They say that Germany is
not Immediately interested in the rehabilita-
ton Of silver, and they argue that
although owing to an oversight her
great currency reform did not in
clude a large stock of silver thalers. about q
hundred million in number, which, il put in to cir
culation, would still constitute legal tenders, no
practical difficulty has arisen from this omission
The gradual growth Of the population and the
normal demand for q silver currency would, it
is held, enable the government at any tune
gradually to work off this old stock Of silver
which its currency is now solidiy established
and upon which il will be maintained

WELLS SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED.

England's Arch Gambler Runs Away in an
Ocean Steamer Fitted Up as Private Yacht.
LONDON, Nov. 23.-Truth, the paper which
exposed the swindling operations Of Wells, an
alleged dealer in patents, who was recently con-
demned by the court to pay f240 back to one
of his victims. today says that Wells purchased
some time ago at Liverpool an ocean-going
steamer and fitted her up sumptuously as o
private Yacht.
This vessel was until recently kept in Ply
mouth harbor. Her destination was mystery.
Within few hours after Wells was threatened
with an action by the public prosecutor steam
was got up on the vessel and she vanished. Her
departure was SO hurried that the men who were
still at work on her had to leave at ten minutes
notice.
Truth adds that British warships ought to
capture the steamer and her owner wherever
they are found
Mr.. Labouchere the editor Of Truth, is max
ing things as lively as possible for Wells. 1t
was his expose of the mans swindling opera
tons that drew public attention to him aside
from his gambling and which led one OF his
victims to seeA in the courts to recover the
money Wells had swindled him out or
The first attack Truth made upon Wells was
headed The Biggest Swindler Living" and in
it Mr.. Labouchere identified him with the Wells
who has been reported as having made enor-
NOUS winnings at the gambling tables at Monte
Car1o.
Mr.. Labouchere, however. declares that these
winnings were entirely mythical. He says that
Wells has swindled various persons out OF large
sums of money. and instanced three cases where
he secured S93, 900 from unsuspecting victims.
When judgment was given against Wells Tor
f24o a few days ago the judge declared that
the public prosecutor ought to attend to him.
Opposition to q State Board Of Health.
SAvANSAH, GA, Nov. 23.-There IL a strong
opposition among the physicians and health
officers Of this city to the bill recently intro
duced in the legislature to create a state board
of health. A board is desired. but not on the
hines Of this bill, which follows the Florida law.
The city sanitary board thinks It too costly
device BY far. savannah has the best quaran-
tine station on the south Atlantic coast and the
quarantine regulations are very strict. The
present system would be serioualy interfered
