IN HONOR OF
 THE EMPEROR King Edward Gives Bril-
 liant Banquet. MANY ToASTS PROPOSED Ambassador Whitslaw Reid Was Among the quests Present. Hisserie Hall Of St. George At Windsor cassie Was Decorated With Ban-

 Knights or Garter.
IAEY ToAsTs PaoPosED

Windsor. Eng. Nov. 12.--In the his- toric hall of St. George at Windsor Castle. King Edward and Queen Alex andra gave a state banquet this even ing, fin honor of their German visitors. The hall. which. for centuries has been associated with the order of the Garter, was decorated with the banners of the principal knights Of the order. whffe the tables were adorned with the famous golden plate. one of the great heiricorss of the sovereigns of Eng land.
 Departing from the usual custom. King Edward and Emperor William sat side by side with the Queen on the right and the Empress on the left. Around the tables. including many members of the British royal house, the suites Of the visiting soyereigns. cabinet ministers and former cabinet ministegs and ambassadors and other dipIonlaffc representatives. Among the anlbass2dorr was Mir. Whitelaw Reid. [
 King Edward proposed the health of Emperor William, who made acknowl- edGemant in a short speech, closing with q q toast to the English King.
 There ih no Intention of discussing at Windsor any concrete political ques- tion,s said Herr von Schoen, secretary of the German foreign office, who is accompanying Emperor William on the latter's vieif to England. Germany and England being in the happy position of having no actual political questions outstandfng. but we hope and believe that the Emperor's visit will bring about q renewal Of the old time affec- tinate relations between the two coun- tries. Their relations always have been correct. but this is not enough there is an increasing desire that they become something more. Germany does not look for any specially defined polit- ical agreement or understanding that might give s.ise to apprehension in the case of any other power. My hope simply Is that tAe relations between the two gevefnDenta may become more closely assiuttlatea to be not only cor rect, but affectienAtu reiatiops existing between tii0 rnIe nftsx houses

Pardon Issued by Governor Taylor is
 Held Invalid by Court.
 CeorRetown, Ky, Nov. 12.-When the case of Caleb Powers, charged with the mdrdsr of Senator Goebel, was call- ed here this morning. 1t was found that many important defense witnesses who were absent yesterday, causing a postponement of the trial. were pres ent and Commonwealth Attorney Franklin, efter the roll call of the wit flessss, promptly answered ready.
 As soon as this announcement was made, Major w. c. owens. chief coun- sel for Powers, arose and said:
 Before the defense answers ready we desire 10 offer as plea of abate- ment. the pardon given the defendant by Governor w.. S. Taylor. after the commission of the crime" Upon the request of Commonwea1th's Attorney Franklin, this document was Plrned over to the attorneys for the prosecu- tfon who retired to examine it.
 This is the same pardon that has been produced at all the former trials and which the courts have passed on and held invalid.
 Judge Morris overruled the motion of the defense to file the plea and par don holding that the validity Of the nandon was not within the Jurisdiction of the court, as the Court of Appeals had already passed upon that phase of the question. The defense. however, scored a point in securing permission to make avowal of the pardon thus getting that document in the records over the emphatic objection or the prosecution.

Who Will
NAME THE
NEWLIGHT
HOUSE
TENDER?
CAPTAIN OTWELL ASKS FOR SUG-
GESTIONS-MUST BE NAME OF
PLANT TREE OR FERN.

WANTED: A name for the new
lighthouse tender which is to be built
for service in the waters Of the Ter
rltory, ard for which Congress had
lately appropriated $215,oco.
The momentous task of naming the
new vessel has been left to Captain
Otwen the United states Army En-
gineer in charge of the harbor light
house and army construction in the
Territory of Hawaii, and he in turn is
going to pass the question up to the
people of the islands. The selection
of the name, however is restricted, IN
that only the name Of a tree, flower, or
fern indigenous to the Hawaiian group
and Of peculiar appropriateness may be
given the new boat.
Captain Otwell says that ne win be
glad to consider any and all suggestions
which are made within the require
ments as given above. In making these
suggestions. not only the name should
be given but brief statement concern
ing the plant from which it is taken,
and reasons why it is especially appro-
pirate.
The sentiment in the idea is one
which will no doubt appeal to everyone;
much interest is likely to be taken in
the matter Inasmuch as work on the
new tender has not yet begun there will
be considerable time before she will
be in service here, but the name as soon
as it is selected will be forwarded to
the department. The new vessel pro-
misses to be a handsome one Of its kind.
The original appropriation was only
$15O,OOO, but this amounts was after
wards raised to $215OOO.

''There will, however, be special pre-
