GOV RUSSELL INAuGURATED,
Some Legislative Reforms Suggested By
 His Message.

Some Legislative Reforms Suggested Ry
 His Message.
 BosToN, Jan. S.-No business was done by the Legislature yesterday owing to the Gubernatorial inaugural ceremonies, which were of the simplest description.
 Governor Russell urged the Legislature to reform its system of doing business. The present methods, in his opinion, are loose and unbusinesslike. He wanted a systematic revision of the appointive offices, the mode of appointment, the terms and the power of removal, making the administrative officers responsible to the people, and giving the Governor freeer power of appointing, disciplining and removing officials, making the Gov ernor chief magistrate in fact as we'll as in name.
 No measures of other than State mat ters were touched on. An act requiring the publication of candidates expenses was recommended, with acts to cripple the lobby, to extend the powers of cities self government, to uniform municipal law to prohibit railways giving passes to legislators or other officials, to restrict the work of children and women and to provide for teaching manual labor in the public schools, He recommended an increase in the $75,OOO for the Worlds Fair

THE KHEDlvE's DEATH.
Believed That France Will Insist Upo
 the Appointnaent of a Re-encx


 the Appointment of a Regency.
 PARIS, Jan. S.--The death of the Khe dive of Egypo has created an enormous sensation throughout France and particu 1arly in this city.
 It is believed that France will take this opportunity of reopening the whole Egyp tian question and that she will insist upon the appointment of a Regency with French representation in such Regency. England, it is thought. will probably insist that Prince Abbas, the eldest son of the late Khedive, is old enough to reign, or, should England not take that course, 1t is inferred that she will advo- cate the appointment of a Council or Regency with Sir Evelyn Barring the British Agent, Consul General and Min lster Plenipotentiary in Egypt, as the presiding officer of such a body
 It is generally admitted, even here, that at this stage of the Eastern question the influence of the late Sir William White. the last British Ambassador to the Porte, had with the Sultan, would have been invaluable.
 In any case, the situation in the Medi- terranean, in Morocco and in Egypt is a dangerous one and will need great care and fine diplomacy to avert clash of arms.
 Conflicting stories are in circulation here as to the cause of the Khedive's death. Apoplexy, and not influenza, is the disease which is most referred to here as having struck down the ruler of Egypt.
 Mohammed Tewfik Pacha was just past 39 years of age. He succeeded his de- posed father, Ismail Pacha, in 1879. The heir apparent is Tewfk's son, Abbas Bey, who was born in 1874. Egypt is to some extent subject to Turkey
 The succession of minor, Abbas Bey, to the throne of Egypt, will make the British occupation more important than ever. The British have occupied Egypt upon-the pretext that the native govern ment is unable to maintain order and keep off foreign aggression.
 It is well known, however, that one reason for the presence of British arms is the importance of making Egypt pay the interest on her bonds, large quantities of which are held in England. The French believe that England means to possess herself of the country

FATHER DUoEY's STATEMENT
Not Sustained in His Attitude by
His Own Secretary.

MS o"n secretary.
New YORK, March 1.-The Rev.
Thomas ]. Ducey, pastor of st. Leo's
Catholic church, whom Secretary Blaine
in his statement criticises for having
married James q. Blaine, Jr., and Marie
Nevins, has left town. Before he went
away he had something to say in reply
70 Mr. Blaine.
mir. Blaine says transgressed my
priestly duties in marrying his son."
said Father Ducey. What did l did
with the knowledge and approval of
Archbishop Corrigan. The dispensation
was obtained from the archbishop, who
knew all the circumstances. This re-
heves me of all responsibility in the
matter. Mr.. Baines son told Inc he
was 2l years old How was | to know
that he was only Is? Mr. Blaine should
prefer his complaint to the archbishop,
not to me-"
Archbishop Corrigan delegated his
secretary, Mgr. Mcdonnell, to reply to
Father Ducey's statement.
IL am surprised" said Mgr. McDen-
nell, that Father Ducey tries to shield
himself by drawing the archbishop in to
the matter. All that the archbishop
had to do with the marriage was to
Issue the dispensation. Father Ducey
came to the archbishop's house with
young MIR. Blainc and Miss Nepins. He
explained the situation.
1.-The archbishop was reluctant to
grant dispeusation. He talked to the
young couple for more than an hour, but
he could not diasuade them from their
purpose. The young man said that as
he lacked but a few weeks of being 81,
there should be no objection on the score
OF age. The archbishop told young Mr..
Blaine that on account of the conspic-
nous position of his father he should be
careful not TO do anything that might
interfere with his fathers plans. The
young man was persistent and on Father
Dncey's recommendation the dispensa-
tion was granted.
"1t should be understood that the
archbishops part was simply to grant
permission to MIR. Blaine and Mis-
Neyins to be married by Catholic
priest. 1t was the duty of the priest
who performed the ceremony to ascer-
tain If there any obstacles to the mar
riage"
