FORECAST OF PROCEDURE.
Kings Speech at Opening OF Parlia-
ment Will Probably Contain No
Reference to Hay -Paunce-
fote Treaty.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.--A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The opening Of parliament VIII tring
public affairs once more within the
range 0f vision, and the ceremonial
side Of the court will attract less at
tention than It now receives. The hnan-
cial phase Of the exchequer will prob
ably escape criticism from the opposi-
ton bench. fer Sir Michael Hicks Beach
has followed the principles Of Mr.. Glad
stone and Sir William Harcourt in his
borrowing operations and methods Of
financing costly war. His latest bor-
rowing process is net yet complete, but
experts concelnn it in advance as petty
and feeble and contrast his entire man
agemeni with Secretary Cages conduct
Of the American treasury during the
WIT with Spain.
The war itself remains source Of
national discomfort and dissatisfaction.
TIE latest news is that General french
has captured a convoy and Is still
driving Rotha's forces eastward, but De
Wet is again threatening Cape Colony
with INVASION, and there is little con-
hderce among military men that Chas
Knox will Qvertake him and entrap his
burghers.
1t is not believed in diplomatic cir
cles that the kings speech will contain
any reference to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty The foreign office has not been
N a position to resume negotiations
over the senate amendments at the
opening of the reign, when the king
and cabinet were preoccupied with
many details. There are no precedents
for determining the procedure when
treaty has been amended as the canal
treaty has been. 1t is safe to assume
that the foreign office will deal with
the amendments as new proposals and
consider itself at liberty to- alter them,
precisely as the senate has modified
The original text Of the treaty. II this
be done there will be a resumption Of
negotiations either here or at Wash
ington ut an early day.

DEATH MASK OF NAPOLEON.
Discovered in an Ash Barrel by a Wei
Known Artist.

PLAINFIELD, n. j., Feb. 13.-From
an ash barrel that had been consigned
to a dump, Colonel Julian Scott, the
well-known artist, has rescued a death
mask Of Napoleon which was taken at
st. Helena after the death Of the great
general The mask is a mate to the
one highly priced In the collection Of
the Metropolitan museum Of art which
was presented by Mrs Astor.
TIE mask found by Colonel Scott be-
longed to the Spooner collection Of val
uable works Of art when the owner liv-
ed in North Plainheld. After his death
it fell into hands that did not know
its value and gradually drifted to one
side until it fell into the ash barrel,
and was found just in the nick Of time
by Colonel Scott. Although somewhat
damaged now, Colonel Scott believes
that he will be able to restore 1t to its
original value.

"The respectable citizens" he said

RAREFAcEp ROBBERY

NEW YORK, Feb. ia dispatch~to

The French and Russian consuls

salt heaps belonging to the merchants
of the Salt Guild. a month after the

refused to allow the owners TO approach
the property. They have however Of
fered to sell l. back at three-quarters
of Its market value, which amounts to
millions
At a meeting today the merchants
came to the conclusion that such bare
faced robbery of private property was
not committed with the approval of
Paris or St Petersburg and drew up
a memorial cable dispatch to the czar
and President Loubet setting forth
their grievance.
The importance Of the decision by
the home governments and its bearing
upon the political situation cannot
be exaggerated.
