STATES GENERAL OPENED.
Queen WiIhelmina Says More Money
is Needed for Education.

THE HAGUE, September 1S.-The states
general were reCpened today by Queen Will
helmina, who was accompanied by the
queen mother. In the speech from the
throne her majesty referred to the con-
tinued friendly relations with foreign coun-
tries, with the exception of China, and
mentioned that the conventions of the peace
conference had been ratified by almost all
the powers. The queen also said
Il hope the international bureau of the
arbitration tribunal will shortly be estab-
lished here and that it will fulfill the end
for which it was founded. by assisting in
the peaceful settlement of the differences
between nations, work of Importance
which cannot be too highly rated
The only direct references to the South
African war and the Chinese troubles were
her majeStys mention of 1.-TWO deplora bic
events, necessitating the presence of Meth
erlands warships for the protection of Hol-
landers.
Her majesty pronounced the finances Of
the country to be in a satisfactory condi-
ton, but said further taxation measures
were necessary, principally to cover the
cost of compulsory education.

DEMOCRATIC FACTIONS.
Probability That National Committee
Will Settle Local Strife.

Local democrats have become so accus-
toned to new moves in the controversial
game in progress between the anti-Norris
and the Norris wings Of the District party
that 1t would require a pronounced coup
by one side or the other to inspire anything
like general interest. The visit of Senator
Jones. chairman of the democratic nation
al committee, to Washington was made the
opportunity, 1t Is said, for the anti-Norris
men to suggest the name of Mr.. Jesse B.
Wilson az national committeeman from the
District. A visit of MIR. Wilson to Senator
Jones is said to have been for a confer
ence with the latter in such a connection.
Mr.. Wilson, however, stated that he was
not Identified with either faction of the
District democrats, and knew nothing about
any compromise which proposed that he
should become national committeeman The
Norris men took the project of their op-
ponents as a confession of weakness, say
ing that, following upon Mr.. G. w. Slater S
announced willingness to withdraw from
personal efforts to be committeeman, the
suggestion of Mr.. Wilson was like a pre-
paratory signal to giving up the whole
fight.
Mr.. Norris himself spoke in the highest
terms of Mr.. Wilson as a man and a demo-
crat, but stated very positively that neither
he nor the democrats who supported him
would agree to any substitute candidate.
Mr.. Norris also had a talk with Senator
Jones yesterday, when, it is understood,
the national committee chairman again de-
clared that local democrats must settle
tEeir controversy at primary election, if
the rival factions could not reach some
common ground of agreement. Mr.. Norris
was positive that primary at this time
would be unWse.
The chances seem to be that the local
fight will be the subject of further consid-
Grafton by the national committee when it
meets. and that the committee will summa-
rily settle the question by proceeding to the
election of a member for the District. 1t
Is believed that nine-tenths of the citizens
here who are affiliated with the party. and
who are heartily weary of continued strife
and pickering, would cordially approve such
q course.

CANTON, Ohio, September 1S.-President
Mckinley started for Washington at 1:25
pm. today via the Pennsylvania railroad.
Secretary Cortelyou accompanied him.
Matters connected with the Chinese situa-
ton called the President to the capital at
this time, but it is said there is nothing of
great moment in that situation to demand
attention-merely an accumulation of rou-
tine matters. which can be better disposed
of there than here The President felt un-
usually well when he left this city. The
rest and quiet he took Saturday and Sun
day, when he showed signs of fatigue, had
a most beneficial effect.
The Pennsylvania State League of Re-
publican Clubs telegraphed greetings to the
President, which were acknowledged BY
