ALTGELD SNUBBED.
Not Allowed to Deliver an Address
After Tanners Inaugural.

SPRINGFIELD (IH), Jan 1.-THE
only novelty in the inauguration func-
ton at the Capitol to-day was the de-
parture from custom in preventing ex-
Governor John P. Altgeld from deliver
ing a 4,0O0-word address which he had
prepared for the occasion, and was on
the point OF beginning when a Repub-
mean made motion to adjourn the
Assembly, which was declared carried
by Speaker Curtis.
Immediately after the announcement
OF the Chair that John r. Tanner was
Governor of Illinois Senator Mahoney
offered resolution that the retiring
Governor be invited to speak after Gov
ernor Tanner had delivered his address.
This was done because the Democratic
members had learned that the Repub-
Leans arrangements did not include a
farewell address by Mr.. Altgeld The
President of the Senate referred the
motion to Speaker Curtis, who was in
charge OF the joint meeting, but the
speaker refused to entertain 1t at that
Time. This caused a ripple of excite
Hent among the large assemblage
Senator Mahoney said privately that
Speaker Curtis had informed him that
There would not be time for Mr. Altgeld
to speak.
The trouble was allowed to subside
for an hour by the delivery of Governor
Tanners address In a hoarse, broken
voice, from typewriter manuscript
His address was not audible to many.
AT the conclusion of the Governors
speech Representative Nohe (R.) moved
the adjournment of the Assembly
Cries of NO" Shame" Dirty poll
tics and other EXPLANATIONS of disap-
prevail We're heard throughout the hall
but Speaker Curtis promptly declared
the motion carried, refusing to notice
Mr. Mahoney. Mr.. Altgeld, who had
occupied a prominent position on the
stage with the manuscript of his speech
IN his hand, turned a little pale and
then red, smiled sarcastically at his
successor, pocketed his speech and left
the stage.
Governor Tanner and his colleagues
were 1nducted into office with much
pomp and parade, largely military,
which occupied thirty blocks. Chief
Justic Magruder administered the oath.

ANGLO-AMERICAN TREATY
RELATIVE TO A GENERAL. ARBI-
TRATION OF DISPUTES.
The Paper Transmitted to the Senate
in Special Message by Presi-
dent Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Pres
ident sent the following message to the
Senate this afternoon, transmitting the
Anglo-American general arbitration
treaty:
ITO the Senate: I transmit herewith
a treaty for the arbitration of all mat
ters in difference between the United
States and Great Britain. The provis-
ions of the treaty are the result OF long
and patient elaboration, and repre-
sent concessions made by each party
for the sake of agreement upon the
general scheme.
Though the result reached may not
meet THE views of the advocates of i'm
mediate, unlimited and irrevocable ar
filtration of all international contro-
VERSES, it is nevertheless confidently
believed that THE treaty cannot fail to
be everywhere recognized as making a
long step in the right direction, and as
embodying a practical working plan by
which disputes between the two coun-
tries will reach a peaceful adjustment
as matter Of course and in ordinary
routine.
In the initiation of such an impor-
tant move, lit must bic expected that
some Of it's features will assume a ten
tative character looking to a further
advancement, and yet it is apparent
that the treaty which has been formu-
lated not only makes war between the
parties to it remote possibility, but
precludes those fears and rumors of
war which Of themselves too often as
sumo the proportions Of a national dis
turbance
1T is eminently fitting as we'll as
fortunate that THE attempt to achieve
results so beneficent should be between
kindred peoples speaking the same
tongue, and joined together by all the
ties Of common traditions, common in
situations and common aspirations The
experiment of substituting civilized
methods for brute force as the means
Of settling international questions of
right will thus be tried under the hap
piest auspices. It's success ought not
to be doubtful, and the fact that it's
ultimate ensuing benefits are not likely
to be limited to the two countries i'm
mediately concerned should cause It to
be promoted all the more eagerly. The
example set and the lesson furnished
by the successful operation Of this
treaty are sure to be felt, and taken to
heart sooner or later by other nations,
and will thus mark the beginning of a.
new epoch in civilization.
Profoundly impressed as I ann,
the, efore, by the promise of transcend
ent good which this treaty affords.
dc rot hesitate to accompany it's trans
mission with an expression of my ear
nest hope that 1t may commend itself
to the favorable consideration of the
Senate. GROVER CLEVELAND.

Outdoor Garments.

OF all forms in outdoor garments il
may be decisively laid down that short,
tight fitting coats, reaching to the waist,
with loose bell sleeves, are at the mo-
ment most fashionable Capes, pure and
simple, have practically departed, ex-
cept as wraps, from the ranks of well
dressed women, but this close fitting
adaptation, having wide, capelike
sleeves if indeed they can claim to be
called sleeves, is in the last cry of
everything modish. Whether chic little
mess jacket, loose sack or the short or
binary basqued coat, all are accompanied
by the wing sleeve.
AS the weather grows warmer we
shall have these vetements with silk or
velvet embroidered bodices, while the
bell sleeve will be of plated chiffon or
net in many colors. Mantelets of this
order are smarter than either cape or
jacket and combine the best points of
both.

CAHPTER VII.

Eighteen years is indeed a long time
and great many things may happen
in that time. Dick had become him
self in every respect except his hair
which now annoyed him considerably
he had been back to Detroit but once
and that was when Belle and Earnest
were married, about 10 years before.
Dick and his sisters had attended the
wedding, now they were married and
had nice homes of their own while he
still lived with his uncle Bill and aunt
Mira who were getting along in the
seventies. His father had gone to a
better land sometime before while his
mother was living with Annie near
them. Dick had become interested in
railroads and had made good sized
fortune while he also controlled all of
his uncle's property. They had sold
all their property at Denver and seem
ed more contented where they were.
Dick had gone in business with a man
by the name OF Herbert Gown. They
were doing fine when his partner vas
taken very sick and died, leaving an
only child, bright girl Of ten years of
age. He made Dick promise to be
her guardian and care for her. AS her
mother died at her birth she was alone
in the world. She had been with Dick
about eight years and was now Is years
OF age. Lily Gown or Huffman as she
was called knew no other friends but
Dick and his relatives and was always
happy with them until she met little
Dick, when she went to the sea shore.
She had talked of nothing else To her
guardian and dinged his praises in his
ears until Dick had become rather
tired Of it to say the least. She would
always complete her praises by saying,
land his name is Dick too"
THAT is certainly enough to convince
me that he must be perfect" said Dick
