Yes, the second inauguration OF Mr..
Mckinley was certainly carried through
on an imperial scale. As in ancient
Rome, the people are amused with gor-
geous peageants, while they are losing
their most precious possession-liberty.
1t was fitting, perhaps, that man who
had just been given by subservient
partisan majority in congress, more
autocratic power than was ever pos
sessed by any American president, and
more than many kings are allowed to
exercise, should be given an imperial
Inauguration. 1t was also in keeping
with the public extravaganza which has
grown to such stupendous magnitude
under his first administration as to
stagger and brighten the conservative
element of the country, that more pub
lie money should be spent upon his
second Inauguration than was ever
spent upon the inauguration of any
other president. Just how much this
Inauguration has cost the public treas
ury will never be known, but that it il
an enormous sum anyone can see,

brought near enough to have their en-

added the $50, 1000 which the use Of tn

Of Mr.. Mckinley was conducted regard
less of expense, and the dear peopl

"And now, Mr.. Taylor, will you tell

"Your country, sir" he said, "why,

True to his declared intention of put
ting the senate on record, Senator
Morgan, offered his Nicaragua Canal
resolution, providing for acquiring the
right of way as an amendment to the
sundry civil appropriation bill. 1t was
killed, as he expected it would be.
The vote was SO to 16 to sustain the
chairs ruling that the amendment was
not III order. Thus ended the disrep-
utable though successful fight to pre-
vent Nicaragua Canal legislation, which
is overwhelmingly favored by the peo-
pie of this country. and which the re-
publicans pretend to favor to the ex-
tent OF having had a Gill passed by the
house before the presidential election.
Senator Morgan cannot be blamed for
having asked to be relieved Of the du-
ties of chairman of the committee on in
ter-ocean canals and he never spoke
truer words than when he said: "The
republicans nre not friends OF this
cnnal, and they know it."

Disastrous Head-On Collision

One of the most disastrous and fatal
wrecks which has ever occurred on the
Knoxville division of the Southern
railway took place at 4;25 a. m. Satur-
day, a mile and quarter west of Lee
noir City, and twenty-four miles west
of this city. Two freight trains came
into collision head on, and three men
were instantly killed, while one was
fatally and two very seriously injured,
and four members of the crews of the
two trains received painful and serious
injuries, which are, however, not so
serious as to in any way endanger their
lives.
The accident occurred through a
misunderstanding of orders on the pan t
of the conductor and engineer of the
east-bound train, which was the second
section of regular freight No. AZ The
other train, which was running OH
regular orders orders, and on the prop
er time schedule, was part of work
train, consisting of several cars and o
caboose. The west-bound train con-
sisted of only an engine and caboose.
THE DEAD.
The men who were killed are:
@. F. Madden, engineer.
J. M. Stevenson, fireman.
Joseph Coplan, conductor.
w. L. Cash, fireman.
The three first named were instantly
killed, the engineer and fireman being
crushed and scalded under their en-
gines, and the conductor killed in tn,
wreck of his caboose.

 Myself and the emperor for the past year have slept on wormwood and eaten gal'--a Chinese metaphor for nourishing vengeance.
 The edict goes on to say that the board of national administration, Yung Lu, con- troller general of the revenue board, and others urge the court to inform the whole empire that it is determined to execute reforms, and enjoins officials to study and adopt the western methods recom- mended by Viceroys Lin Kun To and Chang Chin Tung.
 ''No trifing measures" says the edict, Twill restore prosperity. The destiny of the government which hitherto has been in the throes of war will now be to push forward
 The foreign ministers at a meeting to- | day determined to evct foreign mer- chants occupying houses without the con sent of the owners. The Chinese do not desire to disturb those who were estab- lished before the siege.
 It was decided also that the question of | opening Pekin to foreign trade shall be negotiated and that meanwhile the Chin ese shall collect an octoroi equivalent to the transit duties of 21 per cent on goods not paying the latter.
