NEW YORK'S CAPITAL.
Hundredth Anniversary of Its Estab-
lishment at Albany.

ALBANY On. ", Jan. 5.-The one
hundredth anniversary of the establish
ment of the State Capitol at Albany
was appropriately celebrated to-day.
Governor Black was the presiding Off
Ger. Letters of regret were read from
Governor Morton, who had been named
to deliver the opening address, and also
from President Cleveland and Presi-
dent-elect Mckinley. Mr.. Mckinley, in
his letter, said in part:

and admiration for my own State. yet l.

Empire State of this Union. New York

tfon she occupies in the constellation Of
States. [ congratulate both city and
people, and send joyful greetings of a
citizen of a sister State which shares in
your pride in the past, in your exulta-
ton in the present, and in your hopes
for the future"
The historical address of the dav was
made by Chauncey NJ. Depew. His re-
marks We're we'll received by an appre-

GRAVE CRISIS.
Circular Issued by the "Patriotic
Vigilance Committee" of Toronto.

TORONTO, Jan. 6.-The Globe" to-
day publishes q circular which it says
has been sent to Protestant clergymen
and leading citizens throughout On
tario. The circular is dated Toronto,
December %, 1896, is headed Patriotic
Vigilance Committee" and marked
Confidential" and begins as follows:
'The gravity of the crisis brought up
on the country by the elections of June
last and the encouragements thereby
given to the disloyal elements of our
population has originated in the form
of a patriotic Vigilance Committee by
few citizens determined to maintain
by all means in their power the honor
and integrity of the British flag and
dominion in Canada"
Proceeding, it says that IAN insidious
conspiracy has for several months been
at work throughout the Dominion aim
ing at the overthrow OF the authority of
our gracious sovereign the Queen and
others, and the annexation of our be-
loved country to the United States
That behind what is ostensibly a
political movement is plainly to be seen
the hand of the Roman Catholic Church,
the ever-watchful enemy of Protestant
liberty" and that although several
members of the present Government are
known to be thoroughly and sincerely
lowal. the fact that the Government of
Mr.. Laurier owes it's majority to the
disloyal element does not hold out the
hope that they can successfully cope
with the crisis in which we are"
The committee therefore Gals for the
OrCa nizatiOD in each election district of
Patriotic Vigilance Committee to as
certain and record the views of all whom
there is reasonable ground for suppos-
ing to be in sympathy with this move
ment, and to take such steps as may
suggest themselves to check their fur
ther spread and manifestation.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
Both Houses Organize According to
the Caucus Programme.

SPRINGFIELD Qll), JAN 6.-The
SelIalte and House of Representatives
constituting the fortieth General AS
sembly of Illinois, were opened to-day,
and both sides were organized accord
ing to the previous decisions of the
majority party in caucus. All the in
coming State officers were present ex-
cepting Governor-elect Tanner. and the
Capitol was filled with men and women
from all parts of the State There was
not even standing room left in the lob
bies of Representative Hall when Sec
retary of State Hinrichensen called the
House to order at noon.
Z. c. Curtis was elected Speaker on
a strictly party vote. A committee was
sert to wait on Governor Altgeld and
notify him the House was ready to re-
ceive any communication from hiru.
He responded with his last messa ge
to the Legislature, which was read in
both houses before adjournment.
Lieutenant Governor Joseph Gill
called the members of the Senate to or
der, and by his side was Lieutenant
Governor elect Northcott, who was
there to get pointers ON the duties of a
presiding officer. After receiving the
Governors message the Senate ad-
journed until tomorrow

MKENNA THE FAVORITE.
Said That He Will Surely be Ten
dered a Cabinet Place.

W WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Recent de-
velopments point to the conclusion that
United States Circuit Judge Joseph Nc
kenna will be rendered Cabinet port
folio by President elect Mckinley upon
his assumption of the Presidency.
This statement is given out upon the
authority of several gentlemen who are
On most inti1nte terms with Mr. Nc
kmley, and who have just returned
from Canotn, O., where they have
been in conference with the President
elect. While no positive statements have
been made to the effect that Major Nc
Kirley had unalterably decided to Sc
lect Judge McKenna as a member of
his Cabinet, nevertheless his position in
the matter has been made so evident
that the members of the California del
egation now look upon the decision as
practically final.
ThlS can no more positively be evil
deEced than by the determination of
the delegation not to forward to Ma
Jor Mckinley the memorial indorsing
Horace Davis as a desira BILE member of
the Cabinet.
1t is We'll known THAT Major McKin-
ley and Judge McKenna are warm per-
sonal friends. They served in Congress
together, and while there their rela-
TONS were most infinite That the
President-elect fully realizes the abil-
lty of Judge McKenna must be ad-
n1iltted, and, as for some time past
California has deserved recognition in
the Cabinet, leads to the logical conclu-
sion that Major Mckinley has not over
looked the opportunity presented.

A CLEVER SWINDLER
Taken Into Custody at Omaha, Ne
braSka.

OMAHA, Jan. G.-Acting on the re-
quest of the Sheriff of Belleville. Ill, the
police to-day arrested $. j. Gordon, alias
c. NJ. Anderson, on the charge of schem-
ing to defraud the mails. 1t is alleged
that Gordon is a professional swindler
and his field of operation not alone con-
fined to this country.
Gordon came to Omaha a few weeks
ago and registered at one of the very
best family hotels in the city. His af-
fable maners and surroundings gave
him the opportunity of meeting some
of the best families in the city At the
time of his arrest he had two society
bellies soliciting in his behalf. He
opened an office. and asserted that he
had in mind the starting of paper
devoted TO science, art and literature.
y brilliant prospectus was prepared. He
represented himself as the correspond
ent of the London Times" and .''Tele-
graph
Gordon advertised for a clerk col
lectOr, door boy, and also a partner He
received numerous applications, all of
which he answered, engaging every
body making application-at least those
who were willing to put up cash bonds
for the faithful performance of their du-
ties.
The authorities had a letter from the
Sheriff at Belleville, Ill, several days
ago, saying that a notorious confidence
man named c. NJ. Anderson had re-
Gently escaped from the chaingang and
had located in Omaha, where he was
about to swindle a woman out of 81 600.
Detectives were placed on watch at the
Postoffice, but Anderson changed his
name to Gordon and sent a messenger
boy after his mail Thus he evaded the
Omaha officers until to-day.
Gordon's scheme was to employ a per-
son, then to require him to put UP a
cash bond, and to abscond before the
first issue of the paper. This paper was
to appear January 10Th. This was his
scheme at Belleville, ILL.,, for which he
was put on the chaingang.
