ESCORTED BY MEN-0F- WAR
HE IS NOW EN ROUTE TO BIRMINGHAM


 Mobile. Feb. 17.-(Special.)-Hi royal majesty, Rex Vulcan I, on his private yacht Magic City, accompanied by his six men-of-war and the Plant fleet, came up Mobile bay this afternoon. Imme- diately after the vessels dropped anchor large delegation of prominent Birming- ham citizens paid their respects to his majesty and constituted themselves his escorts to Birmingham.
 Great preparations and efforts had been made in Mobile to get his majesty to stay over and receive the hospitality of the city, and he was especially urged to stay over to see so-called mardi gras in Mobile, both of which invitations his majesty rather coolly declined. owing to the fact that when 1t became known that his majesty would pay a visit to Bir- mingham the Mobilians spoke rather dis paragingly about it.
 Without even looking at the city, but giving them the cold shoulder general ly, his majesty went directly from his steamer to his special Louisville and Nashville train and left at once with his suite and reception committee for Bir- mingham.
 All trains have been sidetracked to permit his royal majesty's train to pass. He will reach Birmingham over the Min eral division, so he may have view of the natural wealth, advantages. enter prises and prosperity of that great city. His train will arrive at Birmingham about noon tomorrow.

peaceful arbitration. Their main object ought to be to express such an opinion It could not be done by joining issues on the amendment. He took the opportu- nity to deprecate the language sometimes used alleging that President Cleveland had acted from election motives. There seems to be a tendency in certain quar- ters to think that the United States had acted in sudden, offensive manner. As a matter of fact they had been pressing for settlement of the question for the last ten years, always in most friendly spirit.
 Every effort ought to be made to re- move all causes of irritation. He trusted that no further delay would occur and that everything would be done to bring about a speedy settlement. Sir William said that the points of difference between Great Britain and the United States were insignificant and could easily be settled by the cabinets of the two countries But if the populace of both sides were allowed to raise excitement through ignorance of the real matters at issues there would be great danger of strife. He appealed to MT. Atherly Jones to withdraw his amendment. which was done, the speak CT checking an attempt on the part of the Irish members to continue the discussion.

NEW ORLEANS CARNIVAL.
Rex, King of the Carnival, Met by Mass o
 Humanity.


 New Orleans, Feb. 17.-Neyer in its history has New Orleans been so crowded during the carnivals. For two weeks past visitors have been pouring in by the hundred. To-day standing room on- ly'' might well be put on the outer ap- breaches to the city,. The hotels and boarding houses are taxed to their ut most capacity, and every private resi- dence in the city has it's quota of guests. The weather is clear and pleasant and everything is favorable to big success.
 Rex, the king of the carnival, arrived on a special steamer at the foot of Canal street at o'clock. The Jam of humani- ty was unprecedented. People wanted to see the king arrive, and the elbowing and pushing was remarkable, yet the crowd was jolly and good natured. The king was enthusiastically received by the big crowd, and on disembarking the pro- cession moved up Canal to Camp street, thence took up it's line of march for the city hall. Upon arriving there the usual ceremonies were observed and the keys of the city were turned over to the king by the mayor. For the next forty-eght hours Rex will reign supreme in the city. Tonight the Rex ball takes place at Washington Artillery hall and the beau tiful tableaux and procession of Proteus paraded.
 The Krewe of Porteus in their gorgeous pageant tonight departed from the line of romantic and mythic subjects. which have heretofore delighted the public, and tonight chose the original subject, Dumb Society,"" review of the animal Kingdom from a social point of view. Twenty floats in all were required to dis play the amusing satire.
