London, Dec. THE 18th parlia-
ment of the reign OF Queen Victoria
opened yesterday. Before the lights
went out in the ancient chambers al
most every leading politician had
spoken. Such fierce, personal animos-
ity and such bitter invective had
scarcely ever before marked the pro-
ceedings at Westminster. Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, was the center OF the storm.
The policy of the empire regarding
South Africa and China, the action OF
the government in causinHA dissolu-
ton when it did, the conduct of the
war against the Beers. and, in fact, all
the questions vitality affecting the en-
pire were gravely discussed and ex-
planned, but dominating all was the
oppositions hatred of the colonial Sec
retary. From Lord Rosebery's veiled
illusions In the house of lords, when

practical leadership Of the Liberal
party, to the outspoken comment in
the house of commons, criticism OF

utterance from the Liberal benches

abuse sat with his head on one side

June 2I.-The great fleet of foreign warships

eyes in the East are now turned. That the
crisis in China has at last come, and that
the Empire is on the eve of the long-pre-
dicted ACKNOWLEDGMENT is very manifest. and
of events with the most intense interest II
has become evident. not only that the Chi
nese Government is powerless to preserve
order but also that the main cause of its
impotence Is its sympathy with the anti
foreign prejudices of the insurgents. and
therefore there Is nothing left for the Pow
ers but to take and keep the supreme con-
troll.

is exciting marked comment She Is show

by Japan. should there be a final breakup
of China or its control by the Powers be as
sumed. Japan has an army of half mil
lion soldirs practically upon the spot. As
It would be well night impossible for any
European Power or any combination of
European Powers to transport to the scene
an army equal to hers. it is plain to
see that her wishes will be eagerly deferred
to during the negotia tons to the final

way things are done by those in authority.
Just who finally removed the wagon is yet
involved in mystery. Both of the companies

TAKE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.
Nine Insurgent Leaders Accept
American Sovereignty.

Manila, June E.-Nine OF the insurgent
leaders. including Generals Pho del Pillar.
Conception. Garcia and Alvarez, were re-
leased here to-day upon taking the oath of
allegiance to the Government and renounc-
ing all forms of revolution in the Philip
pines. together with making formal ac-
Acknowledgement of American sovereignty.

binding than the oath which General Otis
administered. and was consequently dis
tasteful To the F'ilipinos. who accepted II
with bad grace. fully realizing the results
of any violation.
Senior Buencamino took the oath Monday.

leaders will influence their men to take ad-
vantage of the amnesty. which has thus far
been without results other than those of
to-day.

Granite City Man Who Swallowed
Mercury and Bits of Glass,
Not Expected to Live.
HAD NOT BEEN SERIOUSLY ILL.
While Deiirious From Fever He
MaSticated the Instrument i'm
Spite of the Physi-

Mercury and bits OF broken glass may
end the life of William Jackson. A Granite
City man. who chewed and swallowed a
physici;.-'s thermometer while his temper
ature was under test. He had been suffer
ing from an attack Of fever and ague. but
his condition had not been at all alarming.
After he swallowed the thermometer. how
ever. he rapidly grew worse. and late last
night he was not expected to recover.
Jackson has been living in Granite City
for several months. He was first employed
al the steel foundry. but being unaccus-
TONED TO the heavy work. failing health
caused him TO give up that position to ac-
cept work porter for the Champion Gro
Gerry building and the Tulley block.
Several days ago Jackson was missed by
his employers They investigated and dis
covered that he was confined by malaria
10 room provided for him back of the
Henson building.
Doctor L. w. Binney who was sum-
moned. assumed charge of the case. Jack
son appeared to improve as rapidly as couid
be expected. but he grew suddenly worse
yesterday. While making a visit Doctor
Binney placed his thermometer in the pa
TENTS mouth. as he had been in the habit
of doing. to take his temperature. While
the doctor paused TO await the action of
the instrument the patient Strengthened up
in his bed and. with an expression of de-
hrious vacancy. began 10 chew up the Their
mometer. His first bite snapped the tube
half In two and the protruding end was
terked from his mouth before ne had time
to further break II. but the half which con-
tained the mercury was ground into bits.
and all attempts TO make Jackson realize
what he was doing only made him chew
the faster. He gulped down the particles
of glass and mercury with the ease OF a
professional glass-eater. his mouth being
but slightly cut.
He was later removed TO the City Jail.
and there he was soon in great agony. The
county phy sician was sent for. as Jackson
is TO be taken TO the County Hospital. His
condition last evening was no better.
