NEVER BEFORE SURPASSED.
Pageant Accompanying Lord Curron's
Entry into Delhi Inquired the
ORIENTAL Heart.

Delhi, India, Dec. 3O.-The viceroy.
Lord Curzon, of Kedleston, Monday
made his state entry into the capital
of the Moguls. This constituted the
official opening of the durbar held to
celebrate the accession of King Ed
ward as emperor of India. 1t was a
splendid pageant, probably unparal-
leled in its magnificence. AT the head
of the elephant procession rode Lord
and Lady Curzon on the state "Grand
Tusker." IL feet high, the largest ele
plant in India. Their howdah WA
decked with gold and silver and the
elephant itself was almost hidden be-
meath a gold-worked saddle cloth.
Surrounding them were footmen in
scarlet and gold iveries and bearing
massive silver slaves. The duke of
Conneaught, who represented King
Edward, and the duchess of Con-
neaught, followed. Their elephant was
equally gorgeously caparisoned.
Then, in order of precedence, came
the ruling chiefs, 20 in all, their huge
elephants forming line quarter of
a mile in length. This glittering pro-
cession started from the railrod sta
ton preceded by dragon and artil-
lery, the viceroy's escort, and by her
aids and trumpeters.

CALLS IT A DREAM.
Ex-Gov. Hogg Talks of Morgan's
Scheme to Colonize Negroes.
MOI Enough Transports Could BE Secured
To Haul Away the Increase of Blacks
Every Year. Not Mentioning the
100000 Now Here.

Houston, Tex, Dec. 30.-Former
Gov. Hogg says Senator Morgan's
plan of colonizing the negroes in the
philippines is "all a dream and moth
ing more" In discussing the mat
ter the ex-governor said: why, do
you know what his project really in
wolves? The negro race is increasing
at the rate of 100000 year, at least
In the United States, and there are
nearly 100000 of them now living.
If the government should undertake
to send them to the Philippines it
would require a tremendous fleet OF
transports, take two months for one
transport to make the round trip and
the greatest number of passengers
each trip would be 1000, which means
$4,000 year. Fifty transports would
carry 900 persons over in one year
if the conditions were perfect and
the transports provided. Now, where
would the government get so ships?
Surprising that could be done, it would
not dispose of the natural increase of
the negroes, and there you are. Why,
the proposition is ridiculous on the
face of it."

.INSURGENTS" ARE ACTIVE.
Senators Who Oppose Cuban Reciprocity
Strong Enough to Cause the Admin
istration Much Concern

Washington, Dec. 30.-Considerable
opposition is developing to the ratifi-
cation of, the Cuban reciprocity
treaty now pending in the senate. 1t
is not taking quite the form that the
opposition to the Cuban legislation
took last spring, but it is sufficient
III substance to give concern to the
friends of the treaty.
Cuha Il Aiso Anxious.
Havana, Dec. 30.-After a lengthy
conference between President Palma,
the members of the cabinet and Lead
ing senator's, it has been decided not
to call an extra session of the SEN
ate to discuss the reciprocity treaty
with the United States. President
Palma is anxious to bring the discus
sion of this measure to an immediate
conclusion and has urged the senate
to resume it's session January in
stead of waiting until January II.
Senator Capote, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, said it was
impossible to resume before the 18th,
as TIL committee would not be ready
to-. eport on the 5th.

across the street, realized that the
bank was being robbed, but when he
went to the window to look out was
covered by a revolver. He concluded
that discretion was the best part OF
valor and kept quiet. Others in the
vicinity of the bank were also kept
quiet by display of revolvers. About
so shots were fired to terrorize any
who might want to venture out
Some say seven men were seen
around, but Mr.. Busch says but two
men left the bank after the robbery.

London, Ont, Dec. 2s.-A frightful
collision occurred last night between
a passenger and freight train on
the Grand Trunk at Wanstead, sta
ton on the Sarnia branch of that
road, and according to the latest re-
ports 80 persons were killed and 40
injured The passenger train was the
Pacific express, westbound. 1t was
running 10 miles an hour, and
the freight, which was proceeding
cast under slow Roadway, was to have
taken the switch at Wanstead to al
low the passenger to pass. Apparent
~ neither engineer saw the danger in
time to avert the accident, for the
two engines came together near the
west switch with a frightful crash,
overturning into the ditch. The bag
gage and express cars telescoped into
the smoker with appalling results.
The Inflated express consisted Of
two baggage cars, asmoker, two first
class coaches and two Pullmans, the
Chelmsford and the Fenwick. The
smoker, which was telescoped by the
coach behind it, had the sides
knocked out of it, the roof falling and
imprisoning the passengers. 1t was
in this car that most of the awful
havoc and loss of life occurred. The
wreck shortly after the collision
caught fire, and but for the heroic
efforts of brigade of passengers,
organized and led by an old man, who
was himself passenger on the ILL
fated train, the disaster might have
been more fatal to those pinned down
in the wreck. BY heroic efforts this
brigade put out the fire by throwing
snow ON the flames with their hats
and hands. They then turned their
efforts to getting out the wounded.
who had their sufferings increased by
a binding snowstorm and the Their
mometer near zero.
The accident is said to have been
due to the failure of an operator to
give orders to the express train to
pass the freight at the station. SUI
perintendent Michigan, of the Grand
Trunk railway, says he cannot under
stand how the operator who is
charged with the mistake made such
blunder. He is one of the oldest
and most reliable operators.

Germany and Great Britain Make q De-
mand Regarding Philippines That IL
Embarrassing Republican Statesmen.

Washington, Dec. 29.-England and
Germany have made protest to the
United Stats against what they de-
clare to be the failure to maintain
an open door in the Philippines. The
case in point involves the matter of
an export duty of $3.50 ton on
Manila hemp and fiber, which is i'm.
posed on the product shipped to En-
gland and Germany, but which is re-
mitted on that sent to the United
States. These protests, which came
to the state department and were
then referred to Secretary Root, be-
cause the war department has direct
supervision over the Philippines, have
been transmitted to the senate Phil
ippine committee, to be considered in
connection with the measure propos-
ing to reduce the tariff on Philippine
goods coming into the United States,
from IS per cent. to IS per cent. of the
Dingley schedules. -
