Earl Roseberry's Speech at tho Opening
of Parliament.
LONDON, March 14.-The feature Of
the opening session of parliament was
the speech of Earl Roseberry, the new
premier. In opening his address he
feelingly alluded to the retirement of
Mr.. Gladstone. but declared that while
leaders had changed there would be no
change of party policy. The Welch
church question would be pressed to a
successful conclusion, and the policy Of
home rule would be definitely pur-
sued. He concluded by saying the house
of lords, as at present constituted, is an
anamoly. and that the declarations re-
garding that body contained in MIR.
Gladstone's last speech in the house of
commons would be the policy of the
Liberal party. Lord Roseberry was
loudly cheered during the delivery of
his speech.

SLecial 20 the Register.
CLARKsBURG, w. VA, October .
The Ross will was construed this morn
ing by Judge Hagans. Itdisposes of an
estate valued at $780, 600. Geo. 5. Ross,
by his will, practically left the estate TO
his wife, Ellen Ross, who made will
which was the subject of controversy.
The court holds the requests for the
building OF a Methodist church al
Bridgeport, giving 81, 600 TO the Metho-
dist church at West Milford, and giving
81, 600 TO the Conference Seminary at
Buckhannon to be void. 1t holds the
gift of five thousand dollars to the mis-
sionsry society OF the Methodist Church,
good, and after the payment of specific
legacies gives nne-half OF the residue OF
the estate 10 the heirs OF George I.
Ross and the other half to the heirs of
Ellen Ross. OF course there is some
dissatisfaction over the decision, but the
case will not likely be appealed to the
Supreme Court.
