early, and there was a conference last
Ing half an hour on the Chinese situa-

The department has now received re-
sponses from all the powers relative to
the dispatch recently forwarded thnoueh
our diplomatic representatives abroad
urgently requesting that negotiations be
expedited as fast as possible. All of the
powers concur in this view and express
an earnest desire to reach final settle

accountable fact, however, that some of
the foreign powers have referred to de-
lays caused by the United States, where
as the efforts of this government
throughout have been to hurry matters
along. 1t was for this reason that the
recent proposal was made to remove two
points of indemnity and treaties to Wash

some OF the powers seem to have the
erroneous impression that this DELAYED
proceedings. The state department adj
heTes to its purpose not to make known

stated that the British government was

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan 14-Richard
Yates, the first native governor of Hi
nois, and son of this states war gov
-ernor. was indicted into Office before a
great assemblage in the hall of repre-
senta tives, at the state capitol, today
The audience was composed of both
houses of the legislature and thousands
of visitors. Ate o'clock the doors of the
hall We're opened, and long before noon,
the hour set for the ceremony, every
available inch of space was filled, with
the exception of the chairs reserved for
the legislators
At 1880 O'clock both houses of the leg
islature convened n separate sessions.
Motions for a joint session were carried,
and the members of the senate, headed
by Lieut.. Gov. Northcott, marched
through the corridors to the hall of rep
resentatves and filed into the first two
rows of seats which had been reserved
for them.
Shortly before u o'clock the parade of
civic and military bodies, which had
been marching through the streets for
an hour and a half, turned into Capital
avenue and opened ranks before the state
house. Carriages bearing the state eff
Gals and their successors passed through,
and promptly on the stroke of noon Gov.
Tanner and his cabinet appeared at the
bar of the house, attending the newly
elected officials
Retiring Gov. John r. Tanner intro
duced his successor in a brief speech,
thanking the officers Of the general as
sembly for asking him to speak, and the
people Of Illinois for the I1onors con-
ferred upon him. In the absence of Chief
Justice Boggs, of the supreme court, the
oath of office was administered to the
new executive by Judge E. c. Haneey, of
Chicago.
Gov. Yates inaugural address was ex-
tremely brief, occupying only fifteen min
utes in delivery.
When the remaining state cfficials-elect
had been sworn, the party passed to the
rooms of the state warehouse and rail-
road commission, where a public recep-
ton was held. This evening another re
ception will be given, at which the wives
of the new state officials will also re-
ceive. The city will be brilliantly illumi-
mated, but no inaugural ball will be
given, out of Difference to the wishes CT
Gov. and Mrs. Yates.
An interesting coincidence in the in
auguration was the fact that Richard
Yates sr. was also inaugurated on Jan
IA, forty years ago today.

Cause of an Interpolation In French
Chamber of Deputies.

PARIS, Jan. 14-In the chamber Of
deputies today the government was in
terpellated by M. MarceI-Sembat, Radi-
cal Socialist, or the influence of the pope
in the domestic affairs of France, as
shown by the recent letter from the
pope to Cardinal Richard the archbishop
of Paris, dealing with the proposed bill
af the premier, NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau.
known as the law of association. and
aiming at the suppression of religious
communities in which the pontiff de-
Tended the religious orders. M Sembat
asked the government to protest ag4irst
the letter.
M. Ribot the former premier, defended
the pope, who, he said, was entitled to
raise his voice when he thought religious
interests were In peril.
The statement called forth cheers from
the Rightists and Centrists.
The government was sustained by a
vote of 80 to 10 on NJ. Sembat's inter
pellation.
