Decorations About the Platform

LONDON, May 17.-Queen Victoria laid
the foundation stone of the Victoria ard
Albert Museum to-day. She drove through
the streets lined with troops from Buck
ingham Palace. the royal carriage being es-
corted by a detachment of the Life Guards.
Her Majesty was accompanied by several
princes and princesses, and other royal per-
sonages met her at the museum, where a
raised place was reserved for them. Am
bassadors, members of the Cabinet and the
leading member of Parliament occupied a
place at the site of the museum The
Queens passage from the palace to the
museum was witnessed by an enormous
number of people. The houses along the
route were decorated and there were strings
of flags across the roads The sun shone
brilliantly. A gayly dressed assemblage
witnessed the ceremony, which the Queen
performed without leaving her carriage and
amid much enthusiasm.
The ceremonies resembled a miniature
jubilee. American flags were conspicuous
among the decorations. Inside the museum
the scene recalled the spectacle at ST.
Paurs Cathedral upon the occasion of the
jubilee. The Marquis of Salisbury, Lord
Rosebery, all the Cabinet ministers and the
diplomatic corps were present, nearly all
of them wearing brilliant uniforms. The ar
rival of the ministers in splendid equipages,
with footmen, was very picturesque. The

interest in the mechanical part of the stone
laying, talking lengthily with the Prince of
Wales on the subject. The Queen was seated
In. a four-horse open carriage, with Scotch
men on the rumble and escorted by outrid-
ers. The national anthem was suns by

NATURAL GAS METERS

Session at Terre Haute-Evidence
Agafns DR.. Gray.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RUSHVILLE, Ind, May 1.-THE City
Council last night adopted an ordinance
legal:zing the use of meters by two of the
three natural gas companies now operating
here. The rate fixed is Is cents a thousand
cubic feet. One gas company. the Central
Fuel Company. has been operating under
the meter system for two years. Some
members of the Council thought Is cents
a thousand too high, as at a recent test
at the city water plant natural gas at 10
cents a thousand and SO 1-3 per cent off
proved more expensive than coal. This test
has done much toward enlightening the City
Council as to the relative heat generating
power of coal and natural gas with refer
ence to the quantity consumed The City
Council permitted the J5-cent ordinance to
pass, with the understanding that the rate
will be cut to 10 cents If they find 10 cents
too high. Schedule gas rates are high in
Rushville. A cook stove under the schedule
costs $2f a year. and heaters $40 to $3S a
year. A city ordinance is on record fixing
the schedule for cook stoves at S1.25 per
month and other fires in proportion, but
this is avoided by the consumer signing a
contract to take gas at the company's fig
UreS.

SPEECH BY ATKINSON.
The Anti-Imperialfst Discusses Grim
n a Aggression.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 1.-THE Cam
bridge Anti-imperialist Association held a
well-attended meeting tonight and listened
TO a speech by Edward Atkinson, who took
for his subject Criminal Aggression; the
Way Out" After dwelling on the dangers
of an imperialist policy, Mr.. Atkinson said:
There is one way. and perhaps the only
one, by which not only can all that may be
rightfully or lawfully done by the United
States be attained, but a precedent may also
be established leading to peace and good
will among all nations. That way is by
agreement among the great naval and COM
mercial powers OF the world to neutralize
the Philippine islands, TO aid them in estab-
fishing an orderly government, and open
them on equal terms granted TO all nations
to the commerce of the world.
What stands in the way OF making the
Philippine islands and the seas within their
jurisdiction neutral? For the first time since
their partial occupation by Spain, under a
grant OF dominion from the Pope, they are
now free from Spanish oppression. To sub
jugate them would, according to our code
of morality, be an act OF criminal agrees
sion. We ought not to assume this respon-
sibility, nor ought we to give any pretext
TO any other nation to assume II. 1t Is for
the interest of this country. of Great Brit
ain, of Russia, Germany, France and Japan
that these islands shall become the sanctu-
airy of free commerce, open to all alike"

ELKHART, Ind, May 1.-THE County
Commissioner yesterday instructed County
Assessor Maxon to go no further back than
1898 in listing building and loan stock, and
informed Auditor Foster that the board
would not support him in going back
further to discover sequestered taxables.
The board then instructed County Attorney
Vail to inform the tax ferret, Lawye
Grimes. of Bloomington, Ind, and his as
siStant, Lawyer Leech, that the boards
contract with Grimes was at an end. By the
terms of this contract the ferret received 30
per cent. of all taxes recovered on seques-
tered property. When the ferret undertook
to list building and loan stock which as
SCISSORS had declined to list. the officers of
the Elkhart building and loan associations
refused TO produce their books. Yesterdays
action of the board settles the controversy.
There are in Elkhart over two thousand
holders of building and loan stock that
