THE CARNIVAL AT NEW ORLEANS.
One of the Most Successful Ever Yet
Given.

New Orleans, Feb. 5.-The carnival
season was inaugurated here tonight
in a blaze of glory, with a brilliant
pageant, The Crew of Proteus. The
crowds on the streets during the day
were as large as at any preceding car
nival for the past seven years, and the
attendance of visitors from the parish
es of Louisiana and various states
was conspicuously large.
The reception of Rex during the day
was attended with the customary
ceremonies on such occasions. The
king reached the city by river and was
welcomed with salvos of artillery and
the screeching noises of hundreds of
steam whistles. The military was i'm
posing 1t was not a great display,
but what there was of it was good.
There were three visiting companies
the Burgesses corps, OF Albany; the
Dubuque CARDS. and the Boston Ian
GERS.
The Examinations this year were bril-
liant and as numerous as on any sim
liar occasion, and the streets are ami
mated and interesting. The soldiers
were on leave in the evening and leis-
urely enjoyed the parade from points
of vantage along the route.
There were nineteen floats in the
pageant tonight, which was pro-
nounced equal in grandeur to any
similar effort. A hundred and fifty
thousand people watched its progress
through the streets. Rex will appear
tomorrow at II o'clock in a pageant
embracing nineteen floats and Comus
will bring the carnival season to an
end tomorrow night.
The ball of Proteus tonight was an
exceptionally successful event.

Ex-PREsIDENT HARRISON AND MIR.
Leland STANFORD.
The Ceremony VIII Shortly Take
Place at PaIo Alto, for Which
Point Harrison is Now Preparing
to Depart.

Shelbyville, Ind, Feb. 5.-The Daily
Evening Democrat says tonight: The
Democrat has learned through a
source which it believes to be reliable
that ex-President Benjamin Harrison
and Mrs. Stanford, widow of the late
Leland Stanford, will shortly be united
in marriage at Palo Alto. The ex-
president is now preparing to leave
Indianapolis for the Stanford univer-
sity to deliver a series of lectures, and
while there will be married to Mrs.
Stanford, whose wealth is estimated
at $20,0OO000. She was a warm friend
of the late Mrs. Harrison, and during
the late Republican administration the
Harrisons and Stanfords formed a
close and lasting friendship and one
which has terminated in the rumored
marriage.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb. 5-George

killing him instantly.
Henson will have preliminary trial
tomorrow. His friends claimed Vert
had made threats he would kill Hem
son on sight. Another theory is that
Henson was crazed over the scandal
and that when this opportunity for
revenge presented itself, he could not
resist the temptation. Ever since the
! scandal was first published, Henson
has acted queerly at times and it is
| thought by some his reason has been
dethroned. He had rendered his resie-
nation to the bank and had also asked
to be relieved from serving in an offic-

which he has been connected, but his
friends induced. him to reconsider his
action.
Colonel Vert leaves a wife. two
young sons and a grown daughter, the
latter very beautiful young lady and
a great faVOrite in society.

Washington, Feb. "a conference of
the leading anti-silver men of the
House was held this afternoon to agree
on a plan of action when the Bland
seigniorage bill is taken up tomorrow.
Efforts will be made to secure a
postponement, in view of the illness of
Dingley and the absence of Harter,
both leading opponents of the bill.
1t is not supposed Bland will con-
sent to delay, in which case there
will be opposition to limiting the de-
bate and fixing the time for a vote.
Tracey asserts the bill could be de-
feated if the full membership of the
House was here, but he fears it may
pass in the present depleted member
ship of the House.

THE TIME is ExrENDED.
One More Year Given to Making the
Boundary Survey.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The president
sent to the Senate the treaty nego-
tiated with representa- of the gov
eminent of Great Britain for the ex-
tension of the time for. making a. sur
vey of the boundary line be-
tween Alaska and the British Posses
sions. Originally d treaty providing for
a joint commission for this work was
negotiated and ratified during the sum-
mer of 1892, and commissioners ap-
pointed on behalf of the two govern
ments. In accordance with the terms
of the treaty, the commission was to
make a survey to the territory adjoin-
ing that part of the boundary line of
the United States and Canada, divid-
ing Alaska from the northwest terri
tory from latitude 1910 north to
point where the boundary line enters
the 141st degree of longitude west. The
purpose of the survey is to set at rest
some questions of dispute going back
of the ownership of Alaska by Russia
and involving conflicting claims made
by the two countries to land along
the sea coast opposite the channel
Under the treaty the commission was
to complete the work within a period
of two years, which would expire this
fall 1t has been found impractieable
to accomplish this and the present
treaty extends the time for another

ITS LICENSE REVOKED.
Kansas Commissioners Making war
ON Insurance Companies.

Topeka. Feb. 5.-State Insurance
Commissioner Snyder today revoked
the license of the Home Insurance
company of New York to do business
in this state. The company's Kansas
business last year was SIG, 600. 900. If
is understood like action will be taken
concerning thirty other New York in
surance companies doing business in
Kansas. Snyder refused to state the
reason, but it is understood because
the company will not pay the recipro-
cal tax. levied by Kansas to offset a
similar tax levied by New York from
1881 to 1886 against companies doing
business in that state, but with head
quarters outside of New York state.
The agent of the Home company
says he will continue business. and the
insurance commissioner threatens to
put him in the penitentiary if he does.

THE BoMB-THRowER.
valiant Vicious and Violent to the
End.

Paris, Feb. 5.-Auguste E. Valiant.
the anarchist, who, on December 9.
threw bomb in the chamber of depu-
ties, was guiIlotined shortly after
O'Clock this morning. His last words
were: Death to society, long live
anarchy
Extra precautions were taken by the
authorities to prevent the possibility
of Vaillant's friends carrying out
their threat of avenging his death by
committing another dynamite outrage
at the time of the execution.
Shortly after midnight, the police
and military began clearing the Place
De la Roquette, where the execution
was to take place, OF the rabble which
had gathered there, with mutterings
against the authorities for not COM
muting VailIant'S sentence. The
crowd was finally driven into the
streets opening in the place of execu-
ton, and barricades were erected to
prevent them from approaching too
near the guillotine.
Then NJ. Diebler, the public execu-
toner, and assistants, appeared and
erected the guillotine. Diebler called
attention to the fact that the barriers
were not so far away but that one
might throw bomb from them to the
guillotine, and the authorities took the
hint and moved the barriers further
back.
Preparations for the execution were
made in a drizzling rain, but it cleared
away before the time for the execu-
ton, and every point of vantage
around the Place De la Roquette was
occupied.
The judicial authorities arrived at
the prison at 6:15 and went to Vail
llant's cell and awakened him. He
turned deadly pale, but quickly began
dressing with the remark to one of the
prison attendants: You see 1 was
right in saying my sentence would not
be committed"
Noticing his hands trembling. one Of
the officers counseled him to have
courage. Valiant smiled in a sickly
way and replied:
Never fear, l will know how to die
Offered glass Of cordial to brace
him up, he said:

and despise a man who needs brandy

The Facts About the Iron Mines.

Duluth, Feb. 5.-The report that ].

lateral. There are 205,000 shares, of
which Rockefeller now holds trihe
lover half, and if the Merritts cannot
raise $55O,OO0 to redeem the stock held
as collateral when the loan becomes
due, Rockefeller will be able to CON
troll the mines.
