nle9El.IEF IN ROMAM.sN1.
King Edward Must Make Such Dec.
Iaration Before Parliament.


New York, Feb ia dispatch to
The Tribune from London says:
II One of the most interesting events
in connection with the opening of par.
liament on Thursday will be the for
NAL declaration by the king of his
disbelief in the characteristic doe
srines Of the Roman Catholic church.
Any person protesting the Popish re.
ligion is incapable of inheriting or
possessing the crown and the sover-
eign is bound to make the required
declaration either on the throne in the
house of lords in the presence Of both
houses at the first meeting of the first
parliament after the accession or at
the coronation, which ever shall hap.
pen first. This curious survival of a
less tolerant age acquires particular
significance on the present occasion,
owing to the fact that the earl mar
shall, who will direct the ceremonies
at Winchester, is himself one of the
most devout Roman Catholics in Eng
land.

FOR WORLDS FAIR MAYOR.
st. Louis Democrats Unanimously
Nominate RolIa Wells,

st. Louis, Feb. 13.-Rolla Wells was
unanimously nominated for worlds
fair mayor by the city Democratic
convention. Mr.. Wells is backed by
the Jefferson club, strong local Dem
ocratic organization. A remarkable
and significant feature in connection
with his selection is the fact that he
supported the gold wing of his party
during two presidential campaigns
and resigned the presidency of the
Jefferson club which has returned
him to power, because he would not
accept the financial plank of the Chi
cago platform. 1t is quite apparent
that the differences engendered in
local Democratic circles by the silver
issue are on the verge Of being wiped
out.

Foreign ENJOYS Ignore Protests by

Peking, Feb. 13.-Prince Ching and
Ii Hung Chang have received long
dispatch from the court which they
have not disclosed to the foreign en-
vcyS. 1t is alleged to contain in addi-
ton to the recent celebrated reform
decree al account of how Emperor
kwang Su has sent a choice of method
of suicide TO all those named for pun
ishment by the envoys. closing with
the inquiry whether Prince Ching and
Ii Hung Chang think the ENJOYS will
be satisfied.
It is understood the Chinese pleni
potentiaries in their reply to the court
said the foreign ENJOYS could not OBJ
ject strongly to an accomplished fact,
bur that they would probably insist
upon the sentence of execution being
published throughout the empire and
possibly upon the heads of those con-
demned being exhibited at various
points.

banding Of 5000 men and the emperor
ordered him far from the court, To
attempt his execution, it is thought in
Chinese circles, might mean civil war.
During the morning the foreign en-
voys met and considered the question
of quarters for the legation guards.
The matter of indemnity was also
mentioned, especially as bearing upon
the damage done to the personal
property of foreigners.
The reply of the court protesting
against what the Chinese describe as
the Inconsistency of the death pen
alties required by the powers was
also discussed. The ENJOYS decided
to ignore the protest and decided that
1t was desirable to proceed at once to

Inspiration to Question His Election
Came After Result Was Known.
Washington, Feb. 13.-Delegate Will
cox of Hawaii has filed his brief in
support of his right to hold seat in
congress and in defense to the legal
objections raised in petitions filed
against him. The document says that
the governor of Hawaii issued his
proclamation for the election in due
form and that all the election officers
in Hawaii acted in good faith, as did
the electors that registered and voted
at the election, and the inspiration to
question the manner of election came
after the result had been announced.
The election committee now has all
the testimony and law on the case
and an early decision is expected.
