PARLIAMENT iN SESSION.
EnGiand's Law Makers Convene for a
Memorable Meeting.

Memorable Meeting.
The British Parliament assembled
Tuesday for Il session which will prove
memorable in Britain's history. The
members gathered at Westminster at an
early hour. Speaker William Court Gull
~ arrived at the House of Commons Oh
time, and there was large attendance
of members. Before the opening of the
session there was the usual inspection of
the vaults for gunpowder which for
mality has been observed since the days
of Guy Fawkes.
Queen Victoria's address gives no hint
of desire for the wars end. She ex-
presses grief over the great losses sus-
tanned. speaks of her pride for bravery
Of British soldiers and asks more money
for continuance of the conflict.
Not since the Crimcan war has Parlia-
ment met under similar circumstances.
Not since the days of ParneH has there
been as much excitement attending its
assembling. There was bungling in the
Crilnean war, and for it the Aberdeen
ministry was oyerthrown. There has
been bungling in South Africa now, but
unless signs fail the present ministry
will stick out if il has to elect Il new
Parliament to do it. The Liberals found
themselves stronger than since Glad
stones retirement, and, a correspondent
asserts, if they had leader knee high
to Gladstone they could seize the oppor-
tunity. Rosebery would be the man, but
he believes by waiting longer he will get
all he wants without fighting for IT, so
he remains in half retirement.
Campbell Bannerman is only an anna
Bile figurehead. Sir Edward Grey is too
young. Sir Charles Dixie was mixed in
a scandal some time ago. and the noncon-
formists who are the backbone of the Lib
eral party won't walk on the same side Of
the street with him. 1t is Dixie, how
ever, who will openly try to overthrow
the Salisbury ministry His resolution
is couched in moderate terms. Banner
man, Asquith and Fowler are expected
to support it on national grounds. dis
avowing partisan motives and demanding
in the name of the country a ministry
which will do something. In this way
they hope TO recruit from disgruntled
Tories and Unonists enough TO form
hostile majority. Should the attempt
succeed. Salisbury viii obtain an order Of
the Queen dissolving Parliament and call
ing a general election. II would be one
of the most exciting elections in recent
English history. but the ministry appeal
ing to patriotism and waving the union
jack would probably win. Should the
ministry lose il would Immediately resign
The country, however. while Indignant
at bungling aud lack Of preparation, is
not anXions to swap horses. They are
afraid it would be taken 10 mean that the
country was tired OF the war and wanted
to quit The first enthusiasm. it is true,
is gone, but except for few irreconciLa
bles. the country. while disappointed snd
chagrined, is by no means ready 10 quit.
1t has its second wind now. and will
stand lot more punishment without
wincing.

PARDON FOR REBELS.
FILIPINO WAR TO BE PRoCL AIM.
Ed ENDED.
Amnesty TO Be Offered All Insurgents
Who Lay Down Their Arms Dis
banded "Insurrectos" Now Plumber
ing Natives in Provincial Towns.

Washington correspondent declares
he has learned from official sources that
The President intends 10 issue within the
next thirty days his Philippine proclama-
ton extending amnesty TO the insurgents,
and denouncing as outlaws and bandits
all who do not avail themselves of its
terms This determination was reached
after several conferences with the Seere-
tary of War and other members of the
cabinet
The proclamation has not yet been
drafted, but the general terms of its pro-
visions have been fully discussed, and il
is announced that it will contain declar-
alton of the end Of the Instruction of the
islands. This will be followed by grant
of amnesty to all insurgents who lay
down their arms within n specified time,
The time has not yet been decided upon,
but the President believes sixty days suf-
hcient and this meets the approval of the
Secretary of War.
The prochmatioa will declare that, ow-
ing TO the termination of the insurrec-
ton, all persons who do not avail them
selves Of its terms within the time given
will be treated as outlaws and bandits.
For some time the President has had un-
der consideration an announcement of the
termination of the rebellion. but has been
waiting for a complete disintegration of
all the Filipino forces.
Reports from Gen Otis do not show
that any organized rebellion exists in the
northern part OF Luzon, and recent re-
ports Indicate that the only opposition
found now is in the island south of Ma
Mia. Gen. Schwan has been sent to
conquer the enemy in this section, and
has been meeting with surprising success.
He has pursued the psurgents without
abatement, and has inflicted severe de-
feats m every engagement, and the
American forces in Cavitc and Batangas
provinces have reduced the Filipino or
CARNATIONS to mere rowing bands OF only
a few hundred men.
The campaign under Gen. Schwan is
to be pushed with renewed yigor, and it
is the intention Of the President to Issue
his proclamation on the completion of the
Schwan expedition. War Department
officials are of the belief that Gen.
Schwan, will succeed in pacfying Cavite
and Batangas provinces within few
weeks, and that Gen Otis will be able
to report the COMPLETE pacification OF the
islands within less than thirty days.
There is much comment among army
officers about the absence of news re-
garding Aguinaldo, and it is believed by
some that he may have succeeded in es-
Gaping from the island entirely Gen.
Otis has not mentioned him in any re-
port since he was being pursued by Maj.
March's battalion in the mountains to-
ward Bayombong.
The War Department has received sew
eral cables from Gen. Otis confirming the
belief that the insurgents have scattered
throughout the country and are plumber
ing the natives of the different towns.

United States Likely to Act as Medi
ator in South Africa.
In view of the reports of the British
defeats in South Africa, and the proba-
bility that Ladysmith will soon be COM
PEELED to surrender to the Beers diplo-
mats in our own national capital would
not be surprised to see Washington be-
come the center of interest in the South
African controversy. 1t is predicted that
such success for the Beers as the taking
of Ladysmith will encourage the idea of
intervention on the part of neutral pow
ers, in the name of humanity, to end the
war.
The Hague agreement has been sug
gested as justifying just such course,
and the feeling in continental Europe is
said to have reached an acute stage, not
only because of the general sympathy
for the Beers. but also because of the ar
bitrary seizures of neutral vessels and the
general interference with neutral cem-
merce by Great Britain. 1t is believed
that Great Britain will not be allowed to
continue to ignore the rights of neutral
powers in her effort to subdue the Beers,
and that the English Government is
aware of the danger of intervention or
compulsory mediation of her differences
with the South African republic.
The influences of Russia at Pekin and
the suspicious movement of Russian
troops toward the Afghanistan border are
also regarded as warnings. 1t would not
be a great surprise to Washington dplo-
mats if, after another crushing defeat,
such as now seems imminent, Great Brit
ain would turn to this Government as the
most acceptable mediator.

Two Men Killed and One Wounded by

Quincy, H., Police.
Two men dead and one seriously
wounded are the results OF an attempt
by the Quincy, H., police to capture the
members of "a gang of suspected safe
blowers and burglars. Although many
shots were fired the officers escaped I'M
injured, the three alleged crooks being the
only victims of the bullets. The leader
of the gang was Charles Prince, alias
Chuck Price, alias c. f. Lummis, alias
G. Rogers. The other two went by the
names of III. J. Crowley and Joseph
West. They had rooms at the Moecker
Hotel. Aid. Moecker, who runs the ho-
tel, recognized the trio MS the same who
were registered at his place Jam I, the
day that Judge Henekenkamp's safe was
blown open and robbed of $4,000 in
money and notes. He suspected them
of being crooks and notified the police.
West showed fight when an officer at
tempted to arrest him and was shot dead
The other two returned after their tools
in the night, and while also resisting ar
rest, Prince was killed and Crowley
wounded and captured. The coroner's
jury eXonerated the officers and compli-
mented them on their nerve.

ANTLTRusT LAW VOID.
Illinois Statute Declared Unconstit


tional by a Chicago Judge.
The Illinois antitrust law of 1893 was
declared unconstitutional by Judge Kohl
saat in the United States Circuit Court
at Chicago. Because of the section
which eXempts from its provisions the
agrieulturist and stock raiser, the court
held that the statute is tainted with class
and special legislation. and is in contra
vention of both the Federal and State
constitutions. In the decision Judge Kohl
sa2t refused to confne his finding to the
clause in question, but put the ban on the
entire act
The antitrust statute which is thus de-
clared void by the Federal court is the
law which was enacted in 1893. The SUI
preme Court of the State has never pass
ed upon its coEstitutionality. Decisions
upholding the validity of the act of 1891,
of which the law of 1898 is an anpiifca-
ton. have been rendered by the States
chief tribunal in the milk shippers" and
glucose" cases, but that statute did not
contain the clause which Judge Kohlsaat
hnds is class legislation. The objection
able part of the law is section 8, which
contains the words: THE provisions of
this act shall not apply to agricultural
products or live stock while in the hands
of the producer or raiser" The ruling
was made in the case Of the Union Sewer
Pipe Company against Thomas Connolly.
but applied as we'll to the case of the
same plaintiff against William Dee
The action by which the constitution
atty of the law was attacked was
brought by the Union Sewer Pipe Com
pany to recover about $4,000 from Con-
nelly and from Dee on contracts made
several years ago. The defendants resist
ed payment of their notes on the ground
that under the Illinois law a trust has
no right to sue or recover on any con-
tract made in the State. Other defenses
We're that the Union Sewer Pipe Com
pany of Ohio was trust or combination
organized for the express purpose of re-
Stricting trade contrary to the common
aw in Ohio and of Illinois to the Fed
eral statute known as the Sherman
