Will he Read in Parliament Today-Briei
Reference to Venezuela.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Press association
last evening sent out a forecast Of the
queens speech which is to be read today
ut the opening Of parliament. It says
that the speech is longer than usual, but
that it does not announce any sensational
departure in policy. 1t opens with express
ing satisfaction that Great Britain is at
peace with all the great powers, and in
referring to the Transvaal incident recites
the course Of events rather than furnishes
an indication Of the outcome. There is q
guarded allusion to the Venezuela qucs.
ton and no specific announcement in re-
gard to arbitration. But reference is
made to the prospect Of a friendly under
standing.
With reference to the deplorablc events
in Armenia the hope is expressed that the
reforms will be carried out. Among the
bills proposed will be an employers liza
bility me assure, one providing for volun
tary schools, another touching upon thu
Irish land law reform. one for the reliel
of agricul tural distress, and one for the
establishment of board Of agriculture ir
Ireland. There is also an allusion to tn,
increase in the naval defenses.

Morton's Answer to vest.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1L-Being asked AZ
to the charge made in the senate by Vest
that the secretary of agriculture had dis
tributed 15o, QUO moro packages Of seeds in
Nebraska than that state was entitled to
last year, Secretary Morton said that the
secretary Of agriculture had the right
under the law to distribute onc-third Of
all the seeds purchased. Accordingly he
had given a great portion Of the one-thiri
to people who were in need-in Nebraska,
Kansas. the Dakotas and Oklahoma
where the crops had failed, etc. The
same thing was done some years ago
when . tidal wave swept over the sea

ter Of the Deaf and Dumb, with No Clue

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 11.-According to
The Hollingsworth woman. who told a
long story yesterday afternoon at the sta
ton house, Pearl Bryan returned to this
city from Cincinnati on the Thursday
night of which Walling has no definite
recollection; that Pearl Bryan stayed at q
South Illinois street hotel that night and
che returned to Cincinnati Friday morn.
Ing; that tho poison was administered to
Pearl Bryan here. It is said that a woman
left this city on the Cincinnati. Hamilton
and Dayton train on that morning; that
she was taken deathly sick at Morristown n,
where the last trace Of her was obtained.
Wouldn't Say waliing Was with Her.
Miss Hollingsworth said: "When Pearl
went through here on Tuesday she told
me she was coming back, and according.
ly she arrived on Thursday night. She
stayed that night ut hotel in South
Illinois street."
"What was the name Of the hotclf" 81

"When did you sec her nextf" II got up
Mt o'clock on Friday morning and went
to the hotel. There met Pearl, and Mt
1880 o'clock she took the train for Gin
cinnati and went hack" 1t appears from
what Miss Hollingsworth and the train
men have said that Pearl Bryan was sick
when she took the train, and tho police
believe that the drugs were administered
in this city. Miss Hollingsworth refused
to state whether Walling was with Pearl
Bryan on her return here.
Makes still Another Statement.
Lulu May Hollingswcrth made another
alleged confession last night. She says
the death of Pearl Bryan was caused by
an abortion, and that 1t was performed in
stairway in this city. Miss Holdings
worth says that she performed the abor-
ton at the request of Miss Bryan. She
also claims to have received q letter from
jackson in which he explains how and
where the woman was decapitated. In
the letter, according to her story, jackson
said that Miss Bryan died in his room,
that he hired horse and buggy and en-
ployed a negro to assist him.

THE WOMANS BIBLE FALLS.

SO long as the new woman claims to
be better than man it is all right, and
man Will stand by her in such an af-
firmation; but whenever and wherever
she claims 10 be like him, even though
the declaration be recorded in the new
woman's Bible, a protest may be ex-
pected. Women may assert any num-
Der OF superlative perOgativeS, or claim
any amount of superior endowmentS
and virtue, and do so in the absence of
any open opposition, but when she at
tempts the male role, trouble is in
evitable. For this reason the WOman's
Bible has fallen fat. Not that it in
sinuates mans tyranny, or that it espec-
tally makes his male depravity conSpic-
uOuS, but that its chapters seek 10
make man and woman in all things
equal and alike. 1t was thought by
many, that eminating. as it did, from
the hands of women the new BIZ
BILE would prove prime fayorite
among the women who have outgrown
the tyranny of man, but the National
Woman's Suffrage association, in SEES
sion last week at Washington, with
Susan &. Anthony as its president,
would have none of it. 1t was referr-
ed to in a speech by Rachel Foster
Avery as "a volume with a pretentious
title, covering q tumble of comment,
not translation, without either scholar
ship or literary value, set forth in a
spirit which is neither reverent nor
inquiring." 1t was stated that the
association was held responsible for
this peculiar work, and Mrs. Avery
wanted it repudiated Mrs. Blake
asked that every woman present who
had read the book should hold up their
handS-only eight persons indicated
that they had looked into the pages Of
the nav woman's Bible. This is sur
prising. Il might have been supposed
that curiosity at least would have
tempted the advocates Of equal suf-
frage rights 10 read real wOman's
Bible, in which woman gets her just
deserts and is lifted 10 a plane denied
her in the King James version, the
work Of horrid men and therefore not
as appreciariye as it might be- Really.
if only eight women suffrasists have
read the Woman's Bible, the assOcia-
ton Is 70 be congratulated.

| but the vassal of Russia which would
make the latter powerful indeed. Still
| Russia is great and strong enough in
| the absence Of any such alliance or
annexation; the time is not far dis
tant when Russia will reach America
and her commerce not by way of west
ern Europe and the Atlantic, but by
rail 10 the shores of the sea which that
which England has arbiUrated Us out
of. Russia is now modern civil
cation in most respects, and as an in
dicatiOn of her advancement is given
out that she proposes to build a great
war vessel every time that England
builds one, and that she intends TO
have at her call as great naval force
as has England. RusSia's army is
exceeded only by the armies of France
and Germany; and when the immense
resources of the cars realm are Ia
ken into account she must be considered
perhaps, as the most formidable power
in the world.
The new TranS-Siberian railroad. the
greatest railroad enterprise ever under
taken, will open up almost infinite re-
sources, Russia possesses tremendous
power and has resources that cannot
easily be overestimated.
England's drum-beat is heard around
the world, yet England is isolated,
and this new menace, in connection
with her threatened complication with
the United States, renders her uneasy.
And there is nothing unnatural with
this proposed alliance of Russia and
the Turk, although they have been he
reditary enemies for so long. The
Tartar and the Turk are one, both
Asiatic and both squatters on Euro
pean territory, and only the pressure
of English, French German and
Italian diplomacy has prevented them
from long ago pooling their issues,
either by conquest or alliance. The
acquisition Of COnstantinople has long
been the chief aim of Russian states
manship, but its acquisition by the
peaceful establishment of protector
ate over Turkey would be not less ac-
ceptable than its conquest by force of
arms.
Such an alliance, and upon such
terms, of course means mischief to
England. 1t means a state of affairs
which may put an enforced end 10 the
English occupation of Egypt, and may
close the Suez canal against English
ships in the event of war. 1t means
the extinction of English influence in
the affairs of Turkey, and a deadly
menace TO English authority in India.
But scarcely in a less degree is it a
menace TO civilization. 1t means the
surrender to the giant despotism of the
world of the barrier that has so long
impeded its advance. 1t means the
extension of COssack influence and Cos
sack ideas in Europe, and a reinforce
ment to the forces that make for alb
solutism and against the rule of the
DeODle
