Madrid. May 13.-At the opening OF
the chambers Monday the queeA
regent. the young king in the uniform
of student of the military school, th'
Infanta Isabella and suite drove to the
cortes in splendid carriages. Troop
lined the route for the whole OF the
distance. The queen regent ana TIM
king were seated on throne surround
ed by the ministers, and were acclaim
ed by the deputies and senators
Premier Canovas then handed copy
the speech to the queen regent, wht
read it to the assembly.
The relations with foreign powers
the speech says, are excellent. The
correct and friendly attitude of tn
South and Central American republic!
In the presence OF the Cuban rebellion
it says, serves to prove that each day
I develops still more the interests bind
| ing them to Spain.
In the United States, despite the ef
| forts of public opinion in the contrar,
direction, the president and his govern
ment have not separated themselvc
| from the line of conduct and the loya
friendship which have always existe,
between the two countries since tn,
| creation of the republic.
The pope has given renewed sym.
patty to Spain.
The government, the speech con
t;nues, will present the declarations
signed by Japan on the subject of thu
delimitation of the Spanish and Japan
csc possessions in the far east.
rhe speech praises the conduct of the
army and navy during the struggle in
| Cuba. The government is actively &C.
cupied with an increase of the defenses
for the peninsula and for the colonies
The army will soon be provided with
| new pattern rifles and complete artil
lery equipment. Spain has already in.
creased her navy by twenty-five gun.
boats and other vessels. An extraor.
binary budget will be presented to pro-
vide for the acquisition of new shipa
and for improving the arsenals.
The queen regent referred during
the speech to the measure voted by thu
chambers for reform in Cuba and Porte
Rico. Despite these measures, she said,
the rebellion had broken out in Cuba
because the rebels desired independ-
ence, and not local autonomy. If the re-
bellion triumphed Cuba would take a
step backward in civilization, interest
industry and commerce. Cuba could
not prosper with independence.

Chicago's Population I.70o. 900.

Chicago, May 11.-Chica.go's popula.
zion is approximately 100000, and ha.
increased steadily since 1894 by be,
tween $4,000 and 10000 each year. So
conservative an authority as Reuben H
Donnelly, manager of the Chicago Di-
rectory company and compiler of the
annual volume issued by that COM
pany, is the authority for this state
ment. Mr.. Donnelley is regarded by
the business community of Chicago aa
having the most intimate knowledge OF
the city's population possessed by any
one man.

gan the movement. President Gompers
said that arbitration will be tried, but IL
not successful other means will be used.

Gompers, before the question is settled.
Mr.. Gompers was asked II the American
Railway union would give the fedora
tion its assistance. and he replied that
he doubted that orders stability to give
any at all in it's present condition.

OF the various woods classified by
the national forestry commission,
white pine ranks first from the stand
point of commercial use, and the other
pines next, these being used chiefly for
house finishing and other kindred pur-
poses The general use of oak in the
better grade of house finishing and in
manufacture of furniture gives that
wood next place. Then comes the less
important hard woods, including ash,
birch, maple, etc. Hickory, which is
used chiefly for wagon stock, is one OF
the woods least used, the annual cut
not reaching more than 250.O00.00c
feet, as against 3,OOO,OOO,OO feet of max.
Black walnut has now become so scarce
that it has practically ceased to be
quoted in the lumber market. A small
quantity still exists in Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Missouri, but it is sold by

Probably the first instance of court

Probably the first instance of a court
recognizing the Roentgen discovery as
means of establishing fact in evil

United States court at Wichita, Kan,
on April 4, directed that shadowgraph

is suing the Santa Fe road for $4,000
damages for wrongly setting the frac.
tire of his wrist. The question of what
the best evidence is in case of that
kind came up, and all the parties inter-

the light of modern science, shadow
graph of the wrist would be the best
evidence. Consequently the court di-
