VICTORIES JUBILEE PRESENTS
King Edward to send Them for Exhi-
 bitson at st. Louis.

Dits0m at st. Louis.
 London, Feb. 25.-King Edward will send the late Queen Victorias priceless collection of jubilee presents for exhi- bition at the Louisiana Purchase expo .sition as his personal contribution to- wards the success of the exposition. The king personally announced this de- cision to-day to Dr. Francis, president of the St. Louis exposition, who, accom- panied by Ambassador Choate, was re- .ceived in audience by his majesty at Buckingham Palace this morning. King Edward told Mir. Francis that he had been prompted to take this step by his keen appreciation of the affection and respect in which the American people always held his mother, and as a token of his intimate sympathy with Alneri- can interests. He said that he thought nothing probably would be more appre- ciated by the American and Canadian visitors to the St. Louis exposition than this national memento of Queen Victo- ria's reign. MT. Francis, on behalf of the exposition, expressed his thanks to King Edward for the promised exhibit.

STARTLING HICKMAN CASE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY JER0ME
 WILL BEGIN INVESTIGATION

l Body of HagRman to bc Exhumed-Ilas
 Been Buried Three Yeara-coroner
 Jackson Believes Facts Warrant an
 Imquiry.
 New York, Feb. 25.-Dfstrict Attorney Jerome will begin tomorrow an inves- tigation of the death of Theodore Hag- aman. He made that announcement that afternoon after consultation with his assistant, Mr. Garvan.
 There appears to be sufficient in what has already been laid before us to call for an investigation of MT. Haga- mans death." said he. Just what form it will take I am not now prepared to say. We have not had time as yet to look into the matter. When I am more familiar with the facts I will decide what course to pursue.''
 Hagaman died at the Waldorf-Astoria in September, 1900, shortl yafter he had transferred the bulk of his fortune to his wife, who is now the wife of Dr. Walter D. Delabarre. Subsequently the widow turned S250,000 over to Dr. R. c. Flower for investment. Flowers broth er-in-la~. Maurice Willis, was Haga- mans i.drse. Hagaman was buried in Poughkeepsie.
 All sorts of reports and rumors have grown out of the matter, because Dr. and Mrs. Delagarre are separated. One is that an enemy of Dr. Flower is going to stir up trouble for him.
 Counsel for the brother and sisters of Hagaman laid the whole matter before the district attorney and Coroner Jack son and asked that the matter be inves- tigated. Coroner Jackson said to-day that he would wait until he saw what the district attorney was going to do before he took any action in the case. He said he was convinced that the facts warranted an investigation.
 District Attorney Jerome was in AL bany yesterday when the lawyers called to see him and the matter was turned over to Mir. Garvan, who looked over the matter and made report to the district attorney this afternoon. It was on MT. Caravans report that the district attorney announced that he would in- vestigate the matter.
 Dr. O'Hanlou, coroner's physician, said:
 ''So far as the microscopic examina- ton of the organs of the deceased are concerned, the embalming process. if rightly done. will tend to preserve the vital organs for an indefinite time, Three years is not too long to look for their preservation.
 "The coroner feels that it is neces- sary protection to the rights of his fel- low citizens that every attention and careful study should be given to all cases of this kind and all sources of in- formation may be open avenues leading to some startling developments"

SAFE TOR STUDENTS TO RETURN.
President of Cornell Issues Instructions
 to the Deans.

Ithaca. N. r.. Feb. 25-President Schurman to-day sent the following letter to deans of the several colleges of Cornell university:
 'sir-At a meeting of the executive committee of the board of trustees just held the president was authorized to organize special classes to enable stu dents now returning to the university to make up work lost during their ab- sence. A number of students have all ready returned, and in consequence of the statement issued yesterday by Dr. Daniel Lewis. state commissioner of health. that he was perfectly satisfied now for all students to come back to the university, large influx of return ing students may be expected within the next few days. I have to request, therefore, that you will immediately call a meeting of the faculty of which you are dean and request the faculty as quickly as possible to formulate a scheme for carrying out the instruc- tions1 of the trustees. It is intended that extra classes. repeating the work that has been gone over in the past two or three weeks, shall be organized without expense to the students. In carrying out the plan it will, of course, be necessary to call upon many mem- bers of the instructing staff to do dou- ble duty for the next few weeks, but the trustees and president feel confi- dent that the members of the instruct ing staff will. in this emergency, be glad to have this opportunity of show ing their interest in our students, their loyalty to the university and their readiness to cooperate with the trus- tees in solving the unexpected educa- tional problem with which we are now confronted. Please express to the fac- ulty my regret that other duties pre- vent my attending the meeting, and, believe me,
 Very truly yours,
 "J. G. Schurnlan. President"

CONCILIAfORYSPIRIT SHOWN
REMARKABLE DEBATE ON THE
 IRISH LAND QUESTION.
All Sides in the Houss of Common. Seem Ready to Accept Governments Scheme of settIemsnt- Old AnImOsI- ties Seem to Have DIsappeared-Free Grant of sIIO, ,O0O, 1000 Involved.

London, Feb. 25.-In replying to 8 question on the subject tonight, MT. Wyndham. chief secretary for Ireland, declined to commit himself to any wholesale official approval of the Irish land conference report which, he said, avoided or skirted many considerations which must be taken into account. The value of the work of the conference, however, could hardly be overestimated. It showed that large majority of the landlords and tenants desired and were ready to make concessions. The secre- tary concluded with expressing the hope that the spirit of good sense and good will animating the report would be emulated by the house in its consid- eration of the forthcoming measure, which would make it possible for Ire land to lay the social foundations upon which it was alone possible to rear the fabric of healthy, national life.
 Although John Redmond failed to draw the chief secretary for Ireland, MT. Wydnham into a revelation of the contents of the coming Irish land bill, his amendment provoked quite a re- markable debate. Seldom in the history of the Irish question has such concil- iatory spirit been displayed on all sides. The only disappointing aspect from the point of view of the Nationalists was the ominous silence of the unionist par ty, who seemed apprehensively regard ing the heavy demands on the nations purse when the bill is introduced fort night hence. For the present, however, the old anfmosities seem to have disap- peared. John Redmond and MT. Wynd- ham exchanged almost f1attering com- pliments; Colonel Saunderson, the mem Der for North Armaugh, confessed that he was wrong in disbelieving in the Dublin landlord and tenants confer ence; T., W. Russell, liberal unionist, expressed the strongest belief in the governments generosity and hardly dissenting voice was raised.
 John Morley, formerly chief secretary for Ireland, rose to speak during the hurricane of cheers which marked the close of Mir. Wyndham's speech. MT. Morley began by declaring that nothing like the present situation had happened since Strong bow landed i'll Ireland. The demand was no longer to get rid of the landlords, but that provision should be made for them to remain on their es- tates. He was greatly pleased with the tone and temper now prevailing in Ireland and with the speech of the chief secretary for Ireland. He said that the difficulty of the question lies in its financial aspects as he estimated that the Dunraven land purchase scheme would involve free grant of $11O, O,OOO 900 and loan of $500 0oO, 900, but, he contin- ued, if the matter was roceeded with in a cautious manner it would not be necessary to spend the whole sum at once.
 Sir Edward Gray, the former secre- tafy for foreign affairs, MT. Haldane, liberal, and others urged the govern- ment not to be niggardly in the matter.

INGALLS, ACCEPTS,
Big Four President Will Run for Mayor
 of Cincinnati


 Cincinnati, Feb. 25.--Considerable stir was occasioned here tonight by M. E. Ingalls,, president of the Big Four rail- way system, signifying to a committee of twenty-six citizens his acceptance of the democratic nomination for mayor of Cincinnati. While he will head the regular democratic city ticket, he has been requested to accept the nomina- ton by citizens regardless of party and his acceptance is generally recognized as meaning an unusually hot campaign in this city for the next month. The independent republicans state that they will not ask for fusion or citizens ticket if MT. Ingalls will lead the demo- cratic ticket, It is intimated that the candidacy of MT. Ingalls for mayor will be followed by his candidacy for the governorship this year and possibly for the presidency next year, and that the movement is very significant, following conferences that have been held in Washington and elsewhere.

 Mined Coal Used

Mtntd Coal Used.
 Chicago, Feb. 25.-samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, the president of the Chicago Federation of Labor and the presidents of twenty coal teamters' unions, called on Mayor Harrison to-day and de- manded that the municipality use none but union mined coal. The demand was accompanied by refusal to haul coal for the city unless it was eom- piled with. A telegram from John Mitchell was presented, requesting the refusal of contracts by the city for Maryland and West Virginia coal with the exception of Kanawaha Valley coal.
