Nevertheless the day was one of pleas ure and the fact that good order was maintained was due to more rigor- ous enforcement of the rules.

lOWAiS NEW GOVERNOR.
He Thinks Thirteen a Lucky Number

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 13.-With the usual pomp, ceremony and enthusiasm Hon. Leslie M Shaw was today in- augurated governor of the state of Iowa, succeeding Francis M. Drake, and J. c .Milliman took the oath of office as lieutenant to sue ceed Matt Parrott. It Is stated as a fact that certain superstitious folk urged the governor-elect to defer the inauguration one day on the ground that his term of office might be un- lucky if he were sworn In on the 18th. MT. Shaw, however, would not listen to the suggestion, and he was fully justified to stand by the 18th when an examination of the state records de- veloped the fact that Governor Sam ue1 J. Kirkwood, who was also inau- gurated on the thirteenth day of the first month of the year, went from the gubernatorial chair to the United States senate, and later became a mem Der of the cabinet.

PREVENT BIPARTISAN DEALS.
Governor Black of New York Deter
 mines to Check Them.

Albany, Jan. 13.-The reports pub lished in New York this morning that Governor Black may be counted on to veto any bill involving a bi-parti- san deal between Croker and the New York city republican machine are en- titled to full credence. The governor is not talking about the matter just now, but his attitude is known in ad- ministration circles. There is noth- ing equivocal or uncertain about it except in this particular: If the mass of republicans in the metropolis were to give evidences that they desire legislation busting the present city magistrates, the school board and the rapid transit commissioners, the gov ernor might consider it his duty to approve of legislation to that end. He will not sign such bills at the request of selfish politicians against the pro- test of the community affected and in the interest of Tammany Hall.
 Furthermore. he may be relied on to use his influence to prevent such bills from reaching him. What the assem- bly, might do in certain contingencies is prohlematical. 1t is a safe asser- tiOn, however, that in the senate the bills referred to would have little chance. The upstate republicans are in no mood to make concessions to Croker, and it is extremely doubtful that any pulls of the sort that have been effective in the past would influ- ence their representatives now.

MIR. REEDS SPEECHES.
His Schoolboy Habit of Memorizing-
 His Girard Address.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Speaker Reed his Girard address in Philadelphia Everybody tells him it was one of the happiest efforts of his life, and he seems to be of a like opinion. This as some others which the speaker has delivered and which he has written out carefully and committed to mem ory. He has spoken for two hours from memory; but he says it is always hard task and that he is never free from the fear that somewhere along the course he is going to falter and break. ''I feel many time as if I were not going to make the next hur dle," he says, "but somehow I usually manage to gather myself for the leap"
 When Reed was schoolboy up in Brunswick it is to be feared he was not the closest of students as a rule, until. it dawned on him that a little special effort was necessary if he ex- pected to come out with credit at the end of the term. At any rate he set to work to learn his lessons, and thi' was the way in which he got into the habit of committing to memory. But ler's Analogy was one of the tasks set for the class, and Reed determined to master It. The day before each reel tation he would shut himself up with the Analogy and commit a page, word for word. He was always letter per feet in recita tion, and that was the end of it. This was the beginning of the lessons in memorizing which have stood him in stead since he be- came a public speaker.
 Nobody ever saw MT. Reed refer to manuscript while making a speech, and nobody could be more successful than he in conveying the impression of spontaneity; but he has never made a speech that was not drudgingly and patiently "boned" and memorized. Yet his impromptu outbursts in de- bate are as perfect in form and mat ter as the address he has SO carefully prepared.

The officials are evidently not appre- hensive of any trouble in the imme- diate future that will require the forci- ble intervention of our government. The disquieting feature of the situa- tion is the horrible condition of the poor in Cuba. According General Lees advices, no less than 100000 people on the island are in the last stages of destitution and are wholly dependant upon charity. To feed these people on a 10-cent ration per day would cost s2O,OOO daily, which sum is double the amount so far received in contributions.

ERIE CANAL BUDGET DEFICIT.
A Meeting of the Executive Commit ee
 Proposed.

Albany, N. Y., Jan. 13.-A1exarderl R. Smith of New York, secretary of the canal executive committee, who is in this city, has received a letter from R. R. Hefford of Buffalo, chairman of the committee, asking him to call a meeting of the committee next week or, at the latest, the week following, to consider the report made on Dec. 27 to the committee by State Superin- tendent of Public Works Aldridge, and State Engineer Adams, in which it was stated that $7,OOO,00O additional will be needed to complete the canals. To a correspondent Mr. Smith said that while he was not in a position to speak for the committee on the Quesr tion of continuing the canal improve ment, he had talked with a number of the members and all of them were anxious that the work should be com pleted as designed by the plans of 1895.
 He said that the only reason which the canal executive committee had for continuing in existence was to see the original plans carried out It is an unofficial body made up from boards of trade and chambers of commerce throughout the state, and when the work under the $9,OOO,0OO appropria- tion was fairly under way, the mem bers of the committee suggested its disbanding. It was decided, however, to retain the organization until the work was finished.

Sev- eral speeches were delivered, but in every instance the speakers announced that today's remarks were merely pre- liminary to what they should say be- fore the close of the debate.

Those who Morgan.
 Senator Stewart of Nevada sup ported the treaty and was the first senator to discuss the question of sugar in connection with the subject. He said all the sugar lands were now occupied and little was left excep. lands available for the production. of coffee. He asserted that the importa- tion of sugar to the United States from Hawaii would not be increased tO any PEl COptlDlC OAltAl USCduS6 Lue islands had reached their limit in the production of that article For that reason producers of beet sugar and cane sugar need not be alarmed. Sen- ator Stewart eulogized the natives as intelligent and docile.
 Senator Frye spoke upon tha com mercial and military aspects which an nexation presented in favor of the United States. He called attention to the fact that some senators com- plained because no one stayed in the chamber and listened to the debate upon this important subject. He re- marked that it was no wonder that the senators fed to the cloak and committee rooms when long speeches were read which contained much dry detail and were not arguments upon the question before the senate. Ssn-' ators should consult together and dis cuss the matter in debate and there would be full seats at all times and information would be brought out. 5 ca, the merits of the case he considered the islands a necessity to the United States. He devoted considerable time to the importance of the Nicaragua canal, which could not be maintained unless Hawaii was annexed.

Another Chapter In the Great
 Panama Scandal
Efforts to Have the United States Compel France to Pay the Dam- ages-The Claim Argued Before the State Department.

New York, Jan. 13.--The Herald's s Washington correspondent sends the following: Another chapter in the great Panama canal scandal was in- augurated today by efforts set on foot to have the United States c1mpel France to indemnify Dr. Cornelius Herz to the extent of $5, 5,O00,0O0
 Solicitor of the State Department Penfield heard arguments submitted in behalf of the claimant by his at torneys, Edward Lauterbach, A. J. DittenhOefer and Herbert R. Linn burger of New York. The department declined some months ago to press the claim of Dr. Herz on the ground that he was not an American citizen, but the arguments made by his attorneys today seem to show he is citizen, and if his citizenship is proved the prob abilities are that the matter wll be laid before the French government.
 'tDr. Herz's claim for indemnity was based upon the arbitrary arrest he suffered as result of the action of the French republic, his detention, prolonged prosecution and alleged ex- tortion, blackmail and confiscatio1 of property.
 "In support of Dr. Herz's claim to the protection of the United States, his counsel said he was brought to this country by his parents when 4 years old, and was educated here, and the French government recognized him as an American citizen. Dr. Herz was in England in 1892, when the Pan- anna canal scandal first began to at tract the public attention of France. He was urgently appealed to by Baron de Reinach and various members of the existing French government to re- turn to Paris for a few days in order, through his influence and ability, to help put an end to the scandals. He went to Paris, but matters did not inn prove and he returned to England. where he became seriously i'll.
