pated in the terrible sorrow which has
inflicted me and my family al the loss,
st a moment when his prospects In lie
appeared happiest, of my dearly beloved
grandson, Prince Albert Victor, Duke
of Clarence and Avondale. Ii has been
a solace to US in our grief to have re-
ceived from all classes and conditions OF
our subjects In all parts OF the Empire,
as we'll as in all foreign countries, most
touching assurances OF their sympathy
under this grevous aifllction and ex-
preSsions of their affectionate regard
| and appreciation for the dear young
Prince, whom they have lost by this
great calamity.
"My relations with foreign powers
continue friendly. i have lost in the
Viceroy of Egypt loyal one, whose
wise government had in the space OF a
few years largely contributed 10 restore
prosperity and peace to that country.
have entire confidence that the same sa-
gacious policy will be followed by his
son. An agreement has been concluded
with the United States, defining the
mode by which the disputes regarding
the seal fisheries in Bering sea will be
referred TO arbitration.
Zanzibar has been established free
port with my concurrence. thrust that
this measure will coRduce both To the
development Of the Sultan's dominious
and the promotion of British commerce.
Gentlemen of the House OF Commons:
The estimates for the ensuing year will
be laid before you. They have been
prepared with due regard To economy.
my Lords and Gentlemen: Proposals
will be laid before you applying TO Ire
land the general principles of local gov
ernment which have already been adopt

possible for you TO consider provisions
as to English local government which
for want of time IL was necessary 10
omit from the former bill"
Parliament was opened with the

THE UNITED MINE WORKERS.
Their Annual Convention i'm Columbus.
Ohio-Oficers' Reports.
cu1e;aI ThLs1r1,n IN III RsJistSy

COLUMBUS, OHIO, February 9.-The
United Mine Workers of America be-
gan theo annual meeting here to-day,
with 13O delegates present. President
John Il. Rae was in the chair. The or
eanization was welcomed by Governor
Mckinley and Mayor Bruck in short
speeches, and Immediately began the
work Of the session.
The standing committees were ap-
pointed this morning, and this after
noon President Rae read his annual re-
port. Only one-sixth Of the whole num-
Der OF miners in the United States are
organized. The question Of the hour
was, he said, how to bring the morgan
lied miners OF Maryland. West Virginia
and Illinois into line. There were four
notable strikes during the year, all fall
ures, and never should have been made.
They were unnecessary. They demon
strated, he said, the hopelessness ef
sectional strikes.
He favored gross weighing law for
Ohio, and passed over the eight-hour
question with the statement that when
the miners wanted it they would get 1t.
The report Of Secretary-Treasurer Nc
Bride shows that the receipts Of the
year were 70,025.7s; expenditures, S53.-
430. IS. The Ill advised strikes had, he
said, cost the organization $4,000 and
1000 members.

PLAYED TO TEE GALLERIEs.
An English Estimate of Mr.. Blaine as \
Statesman.

LONDON, February 9.-The Standard
SAYS: "If Mr.. Blaine's withdrawal IS
final, it is evident that the prospect OF
the continuance of Republican power
has become less hopeful since the
autumn elections, or that the party
managers are convinced that the nomi-
nation OF Mr.. Blaine would cause split
like that OF 1885, which brought Mr.
Cleveland into power.
Anyhow, he will be no great loss to
the world. He has always followed a
policy of buster and playing TO the gal
lery. Mr.. Blaine forsaw that the Chill
can affair would ALLEVIATE the Southern
Republics. 1t is perhaps, not uncharit-
able TO suppose the sending of safe ul-
timatum to Chile was no part OF Mr..
Blaine's plans, but entirely TO work Of
the Harrison-Tracy party, and that Mr..
Harrison was not sorry 10 shatter the
airy fabric Of Pan-American agreement
on which his rivals hoped to build q
great reputation.

FAULKNER VS.. DANIEL.
Argument on the West Virginia Direct
Tax Resolution
IN THE U. S. SENATE YESTERDAY.
Senator Daniel Arraigns the Committee for Report
ing the Resolution FsvOrsbly and Mis-
states West Virginia's Position.
Faalkners Reply Cat Short
speeial T.!.crcn TO as Register.

WAsHINGrNS, ID. c., February o.
The Virginia Senators made their ex-
pected attack on Senator Faulkner's
West Virginia direct tax resolution in
the Senate to-day.
As soon as the routine business OF the
morning was disposed OF Senator Daniel
moved to refer the resolution 10 the
Committee on the Judiciary, which
Committee, he argued, was the one
which had Jurisdiction Of the subject
ana not the Committee on Claims.
The Senator then proceeded To attack
the Committee on Claims for favorably
reporting the Faulkner resolution and
asserted that the committee had been
Influenced by Senator Faulkner's high
standing in It's action. He declared the
provision OF international law on which
the report was based was founded on the
agreement In the first constitution OF
West Virginia relative To the settlement
of the debt question between the
two States. lie asserted that
this agreement relative 10 the
settlement OF The debt was abrogsted
In the present Constitution OF West
Virginia. Therefore the basis on which
the favorable report of Senator Faulk-
ner's resolution rested no longer existed.
Senator Daniel also charged that
West Virginia was still liable for por-
tion, II not all, the old debt OF Virginia,
OF which she had never paid dollar
nor recognized her liability for. He
also intimated that West Virginia had
never paid TO the United States cent
OF the sl53,O00 she now sought 10 get
back under the direct tax refunding
act.
When Senator Daniel concluded al
though the morning hour had expired,
Senator Faulkner was given the floor
to reply by unanimous consent. Sena-
tor Faulkner began by reSenting the at
tack on himself and on the Committee
on Claims, but Senator Daniel arose
and apologized and the apology was I'm
mediately accepted,
Senator Faulkner proceeded then TO
answer I'm detail the points made by
Senator Daniel, which he did In a clear,
forcibe and effective manner. He
showed clearly that Senator Daniel was
entirely mistaken in his supposltlon
that the present Constitution had abro-
gated the arrangement for adJudlciat-
ing the debt question between the
States. He refuted the assertion that
West Virginia was liable for the whole
debt of the State OF Virginia.
The Senator then went on to show what
steps West Virginia had taken 10 bring
about settlement OF the debt question
between the two States. Before Sena-
tor Faulkner had completed his re-
marks, which were listened 10 with tho
closest attention, the Senate had 10 go
into executive session. The Senator
will finish his speech tomorrow.
There is little doubt that Senator
Faulkner presented the case OF West
Virginia so well that majority Of the
Senators are with him on the question
and will vote to repass the resolution.
