WAS A STRANGE SITTING.
Caustic Comment on the Opening of
Parliament.


Parliament.
London, Jan. 31.-The Daily Telegraph,
commenting on the opening of Parliament
yesterday, says:
1T would require the lime light of a
Balzac, combined with the penetrating
levity of a Horace Walpole, to give a de-
scription of this strange sitting. In one
of the darkest hours the empire has ever
known while the victorious enemy has
thrown back our armies at every point
the supreme council of the nation, meeting
10 deal with these things, fills itself with
the east wind of party recrimnation and
devotes itself to an excited and hurried
discussion of the affair Never was there
a more ironical suggestion of how EN-
pires may be lost by sheer lack of i'm
agination."
The general tone of the morning papers
editorials is that the opening of Parlia-
ment has afforded little or nothing to give
the country assurance or to relieve it of
a heavy load of anxiety.

CAUSED BY JEALOUSY.
Most Deliberate and >COld-BlOOded
urder

I
Newcastle. Pa, Jan. 8. = JearOusy
was the cause of a most deliberate and
cold-blooded murder here Saturday
night, but the authorities were not no.
titled until yesterday morning. Raph-
ael Ambrosia and Peter Varavade,
quarrymen, were in love with the same
girl, Gracio VeltJa. Saturday night
Ambrosia, with two male friends.
started out to visit at a neighboring
house. Varavade lay in ambush for
his rival, and when the latter came
abreast of him he drew n razor across
Ambrosia's face. He had evidently
missed his throat, but he cut a cash
that extended from the forehead to the
chin, laying bare the teeth, and, in fact,
opening the entire side of the face.
Ambrosia uttered a shrek and the
next instant Varavade drew his re-
volver and fired. The bullet entered
the right side and must have passed
straight to the heart. for Ambrosia
fell dead and did not utter a sound.
The murderer waved the other two
men back will his revolver and calmly
walked back to the boarding house,
where he changed his coat and vest
and left in the darkness and has not
vet been found.

One of the japanese delegates now
in this country for the purpose of hav-
ing the tax rate Of 10 cents a pound on
tea imported to this country modified,
gives it as his opinion that the trade
between the two countries is greatly
.hampered. IL not threatened, by the
present tax rate, resulting as it does,
says the delegate, in the greatest hard
ships to tea merchants in Japan. Last
year the average price Of tea in the
Japanese markets vas $3.50 per 133
pounds, while the tax on tea is now
1890 fur the same amount, so that
the tax amounts to more than the orig
inal price of the tea. While the Unit
ed States IL imposing this tax on tea,
he said, Japan is admitting American
cotton free. Last year the Japanese
took about $500, 900 Of our cotton, AMI
during the first six months of this
year the imports of cotton from the
United States amounted to about S.
OO0,O 0 all of which came in free OF
duty. While the Japanese government
has levied a heavy tax on tobacco, that
was done as q measure of financial
exigency, and tobacco does not form
an item of special Importance in the
.Japan-American trade.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE VS.. D1pHTHER1A
Bitter Battle i'm Which the Fell Dis

Bitter Battle i'm Which Ii Fell Dis
ease Jones Out Winner.
Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 9.-The. Dispatch
says: Diphtheria and Christian Science
have had a bitter battle in d New
Brighton family for the past two
weeks. Diphtheria has won SO far.
Two children are dead, while a third
child and the father are dangerously
ill with the same disease. Frank
Martzelof and his wife have been be-
levers in Christian Science for three
years, and so confirmed in the doctrine
are they that they have seer their two
little ones die of malignant diphtherfa
and were willing to see their remain
Ing child perish rather than take her
case ''out of the hands of the Lord"
Not until forced to do so by the health
authorities would the parents permit
a physician in the house, even then
the father refused to give the medi-
cine prescribed and the health officials
were compelled to take the family in
charge. Beaver Valley people are
very much wrought up I've the mat
ter and it is likely that Christian
Science, with it's prominent leaders in
New Brighton, will be investigated by
the courts.

Mandan May Find 1t Useful-SalOOn-

Mandan May Find 1t Useful-SalOOn-
keepers and Allies at Their Wits
End.
The situation among saloon men has
reached the acute stage, and there arc
all kinds Of rumOrs as to the probable
outcome. After the raids were made
and the saloons were closed. the sa-
loonkeepers and a certain county Off
cial of Mandan went to bismarck and
had a conference with Gov. Fancher
to see if he could yank the string on
the legal department of the admins
tration and help them out of the pres
ent dilemma by calling off the prosecu-
ton. The governor is said to have re-
ferred them to Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Philbrick. The saloonkeepers were
rather jubilant for a few minutes, and
gave it out cold that Gov. Fancher
sympathized with them in their mis-
fortunes. OF course none of the ex-
ecutive's friends believe the story, as
ne is sworn to enforce the law-instead
Of condoling with violators.
The visit Of the saloon men to Phil
bflckewas barren of results. He re-
fused to consider any proposition to
call of the prosecution. The saloon
men realize that Attorney General
Cowan is in earnest and that they are
up against a hard proposition, as there
are no jury trials in injunction pro-
ceedfngs and any local sympathy at
Mandan will not benefit them.
The saloon men and their friends
are doing all in their power to have the
appointment of Constable Clark re-
voked. He has been asked to resign,
and claims to have been offered money
to do SO, and at a recent meeting Of
the Morton county commissioners q
motion was made to reconsider the
action by which he was appointed. He
asserts his appointment is IL matter of
record and he will fight the cast in the
courts, and thus the affair stands.
The very boldness Of the effort to
close the saloons in such a stronghold
rs Mandan has challenged the atten.
ton of the people all over the state.
Many who are not in favor Of the pro-
hlDitoly law admire the nerve with
which Attorney General Cowan is en-
forcing the measure, and it looks as
though Mandan will be compelled to
follow the illustrious examples Of
Fargo and Grand Forks and cross the
river for her drinks, as Bismarck still
