NEWPORT, May 26.-Governor Charles
warren Lippitt and his associates on the
State ticket, and the Assem- blymen who
were elected on April FOOLS day, have all
taken the oath of office, and the new
State Government was formally =inaHgur-
ated today amidst the familiar scenes of
the Newport lection. AS on every other
Inauguration day every one says its tame,
and not to be compared with the "good
cid times" but in reality there is but
little difference. The crowds are here and
the music and the fireworks ano the
fakirs. The hospitality has not waned,
and open house is kept at the Lawrence
Club, the Business Mems Association, and
at a dozen other similar resorts OF good
fellowship.
As usual, every one who does amount
10 anything politically, or thinks that he
does, or wants to come down on the 4
o'clock boat from Providence, did so, but
there wero no state room caucuses nor
any other mysteries to indicate that there
is anything in the wind, politically
The rolls OF the new House bad already
bern printed. with the blanks for speaker
and clerks filed in, and 1t wasn't typo
graphical error. There Is no contest over
the Office OF sheriff in any OF the counties,
outyide OF Newport, and 1t doesn't
amount to anything here. There are no
district Judgeship, TO be fought for at
this session, and altogether the May ses-
sion OF 1896 Is devoid OF anything extra
ordinary.
Upon the arrival OF the boat the usual
salute was fired in honor OF His Excel
lency, and the State party was met bv
the military organizations and escorted
10 headquarters AT the Acouidneck House

NEW YORK, March 2S.-The latest propo-

George w. Atkinson of the Sporting Life or
London to Richard X. Fox:

CINCINNATI, March 2S.-Mr. James j.
Corbett when shown the proposition from the
Bolingbroke club of London, offering Sl2, 900

l am after Fitzsimmons. The eyes of the
world are on us and we are expected to meet.
l would gladly accept this offer If l were

IL needed no additional words from him TO
add to the popularity OF william Mckinley
In Omaha, and In the state Of Nebraska. He
had been a staunch supporter OF Mckinley
from the start, and regarded him as a true
type OF the patriotic American. In whose
hands the reins Of the government would
rest with safety. 1t had been alleged that
In the late Mckinley Henderson compromise
he acted in the character OF a dictator. This
was far from the motives that actGated him
In the matter. The letters and agreements
drafted by himself were submitted to men
having the interests Of Mr.. Mckinley and
Mr.. Henderson in hand, and met with their
approval. He thought it to the best inter-
ests Of the republicans Of the state that such
an amicable agreement was made. He said
that the st. Louis convention would be only
a Mckinley ratification meeting.
John l.. Webster followed in a short adj
dress. in which he stated that he felt as
sured that the voters of Omaha and the state
Of Nebraska were all thoroughly for McKin-
ley.

Colonel Endie Recalled to London.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Many were the
expressions Of surprise at the headquarters
of the Salvation army today when the news
leaked out that Colonel William Eadie, the
chief secretary, had received a cable mes
sage from General Booth ordering him to
London. One of the stipulations that Balling-
ton made to tn, three commissioners to get
him to withdraw was that Colonel Eadie
should go to London and never return. The
officers of the Salvation army and the
American volunteers look upon this as the
first step taken by the old general toward
affecting a reconciliation with his son.
Booth-Tucker, the newly appointed COM
mander of the United States forces, who has
already sailed from England, is known to be
the bearer of several propositions to Balling-
ton Booth.

BURGLARS UNDER THE bed.
How n womnn's Nerve and Quick wit
Effected Ills Capture.

HOW n woman nerve ana quick Wit
Effected Ills CAPTURE.
A young Philadelphia woman Of rather
graceful, dignihed appearance. about 25, had
become Infatuated with histrionlc art. She
was Of excellent family, of wealth, who gave
her a thorough musical education at home
and in Paris. To become a celebrated song
stress was the dream Of her existence, and
when an opportunity occurred that she could
display her vocal powers on the boards this
young woman seized IL rapturously, and, in
defiance Ct her parents wishes, joined an
amateur theatrical company, says the Phila-
delphia Telegraph.
The company intended to remain in Toledo,
o., only a few days, and then go further
west. The young woman to whom | have
reference had a magnificent set Of diamonds.
worth thousands of dollars, and Of course she
took those with her, and also n large sum Of
money. One OF the members Of the company,
who had taken quarters at the hotel with the
others. suggested that Miss $ deposit the
money and jewels in the safe. but Miss s.
refused to act upon this suggestion.
1t was nearly IL o'clock of the evening of
her arrival at the hotel, ana going up to her
room on returning from the opera, where she
had gone with some young people, Miss $
was about to ring for the maid, when she saw
through the mirror facing her a reflection Of
a mans boot and also a hand c~lasping an
ugly looking knife protruding from under the
'H1 aNes ~ bNa'N ANA
throat, but by a superhuman effort she con-
trolled 1t and commenced humming snatches
of an opera, at the same time thinking Of a
clever plan to save both herself and dia-
mcnds. Stopping suddenly in the midst Of
her singing, she said aloud: There, l left
all my money in the Office safe and haven't a
penny for that bill; I'll send Marie for it,"
and ringing, waited with bated greath the
maids appearance. The two minutes that
elapsed seemed like two years.
Marie" she said, calmly, as that indi-
Vidual came into the room, "go down to the
office and bring up all Of my money left there
this mo~rning-here, I'll write an order for it,"
and, taking a card, wrote: Burglars hiding
In my room; come at once with help" and,
slipping 1t in an envelope, sealed 1t. "Give
this to the proprietor" she continued, land
he will give you the money"
Miss $ again looked at the bedside
to see If the foot and hand remained visible
no, they had been withdrawn; then walking
over to the piano sung. A knock at the door
was heard. Come in she answered, al
most holding her breath for fear her note
had failed in its mission, but-no-there
stood the hotel proprietor and by his side two
policemen. They Immediately looked under
the bed where Miss S was pointing, and
captured the burglar without any trouble.

Fight In the Texas Convention Liable
To he n Hot One.
AUSTIN, TeE, March 2S.-Though the re-
publican stata convention does not meet here
until tomorrow. the city Is crowded with
delegates, great numbers having arrived on
the early trains. Up to noon today II seemed
as though the fight were going to be both a
lively and bitter one. 1t will be Mckinley
and a~nti-McKinley. Quincy, the Allison
leader, announced himself as a candidate for
temporary chairman at midnight last night,
and the further fact that the Reed men were
at once rallied to his support looks as though
the lines were going to be faulty drawn on
Mckinley. The Mckinley men are still very
s~anguine and are asserting that they have
everything their own way and will send at
least three of the four delegates to st. Louis.
Quincy is a power among the negroes, how
ever, and 1t Is just possible that he may turn
the tide in the direction that the Mckinley
men are least expecting. His object is to
send an uninstructed delegation to st. Louis,
and he will leave no stone unturned to do
1t. He practically promised the Morton men
that the delegation shall go uninstructed,
and he will train his effort in that direction.
The politicians here are looking at the situa-
ton rather seriously this morning, and some
Of them are not slow to say that they are
afraid Of a bust-up tomorrow. The gauntlet
has certainly been thrown down to the Nc
Kinley men, and 1t now remains to be ssen
as to whether they have the nerve and
strength with which to fight the battle out to
a successful termination.
After an all day wrangle to arrange a COM
bination between the Allison and Reed men,
the whole business was knocked into a
cooked hat late tonight by the Allison men,
with Quincy at Their head, forswearing all
combinations and announcing that they
would make the fight singly for Allison for
president and for Quincy for temporary chair
man Of tomorrow's convention. The Reed
men are apparently frustrated by the action
of the Allison men. Mckinley's forces say
they wi. fight to a finish and the result will
probably be suicidal to the Reed men, al
though they seem to think that they will
combine with the Mckinley men IL assured
q divided delegation.
