 L|vEL|NESS To Which Signs Point For the
 Ensuing Week VETO MESSAGES TODAY
It is Expected That They Will Reach the Council This Morning-How They
 May Become Entangled With the Local Option Bill.

Today will be the beginning of a lively week in the legislature The council will meet at 10 o'clock this morning for the purpose presumably of finishing the consideration in the whole committee of the insurance bill, which was left hanging in the air on Thursday afternoon. It is pretty sure that the council will have other busi- ness projected into it in the shape of couple of messages of disapproval by the governor of the action of the legislature in abolishing the office of public examiner and the rangers.
 There had been rumors that perhaps the governor would not veto these bills but it is understood that the messages will be sent in this morning.
 The house will not convene until o'clock this afternoon. The most i'm portant business immediately before the house will be the local option bill. which, according to the agreement reached last Wednesday, will be re- ported today What will happen to it is still a matter of conjecture. Each side in the assembly is claiming only twelve sure votes, but each hopes for at least one more in the supreme test It Is admitted on all sides that the fate of this bill is closely linked with the governors vetoes. It is quite certain that if the veto is not sustained the local option bill will not pass. Wheth CT it would pass if the veto should be sustained is still a matter which can end only with a roll call.
 There trp1au he another interest in pr event in the council. Following the conference of the council committee with representatives of the railroads on Saturday afternoon. it was given out that Chairman Norton of the com mittee, who was not present at the conference, would this morning at the close of some remarks on a question of personal privilege, resign the chair manship of the committee.
 The chairman's objection was not to the conference itself or to the arrange ments made in the conference but to the manner in which he had been summoned to it. His friends have since explained that no affront was intended, and an effort has been made to cause him to forego his intention of resigning.
 It is not likely that there will be any development of the railroad situa- tion this week, that is, any develop ment in the shape of laws. There will of course be new legislation proposed and included in it will be a bill for the removal of the industrial school. The bill. it is understood, will con template the taking of the school to some point on the San Pedro above it's present site, and for that purpose the sum of s50000 will be appropriated. The bill is to be offered by a Cochise county member, the Cochise county delegation having heretofore opposed any interference with the school

MIXED RELATIONS OF
 4 MISSOURI FAMILY
THE DEADLY WORK OF A COMIC
 VALENTINE
Girl Shot Her Stepfather, Who Was Also the Joint Husband of Herself and Her Mother.

St Joseph, Feb. 14.-Il shooting William Smith, a carpenter, here to- day, expected to result fatally, there came to light one of the strangest entanglements in the lives of three persons ever known.
 A girl of 9, who shot Smith, ayers to the police that she married him, knowing her mother was his legal wife. The three lived for years to- gether, the man as the husband of both women. The shooting occurred over the sending of a comic valen- tine. The girl, who styles herself, Mrs. Cora Smith, while her mother is known as Mrs. William Smith, sent Smith a comic valentine. Smith grew angry and started to leave the house. Thinking he was going to desert her, the girl shot him.
 The girls mother says she married Smith in 1902. The girl was by a former husband. A year after their marriage, she says, she found her husband had had improper relations with her daughter and made him marry the girl without securing a di- vOrce.

imported in 1908 was over $14 ,000, ,000 and in 1907 practically $20,000, ,000 While the cotton imported is popu- larly supposed to consist exclusively or almost exclusively, of cotton from Egypt, it is fact that Mexico, Peru, Haiti, British India, United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands all sent us cotton in 1908; that from the Flu ropean countries probably originating chiefly in Egypt or other parts of Africa; while 5S,OOO.O00 pounds came direct from Egypt.
 Curiously too, in this land of great cotton production and manufacture, there was imported, in the five years ending June 30, 1908, no less than $150, 100000 worth of cotton faces, edgings, embroideries, etc, of which s33, ,500, 900 came in 1908, and prac- tically 40,000,000 in 1907. Switzer- land supplied a larger share of this high-grade cotton manufactures than any other country, the value from Switzerland alone in 1908 being s13.- 500,00O; while from France came practically s9,000,00O worth; from United Kingdom $6,250,00O; from Ger
  900 worth. In practically all the cases the countries sending this merchan- disc to the United States buy the bulk of their raw cotton from us and send back the finished article to the value of from s25,O00,00O to s4O,OOO.- 000 per annum.
 Diamonds show a marked falling off in the imports of 1908, those un- cut being valued at less than $4, ,500,- 900 in 1908, against more than $11,- 000, ,000 in 1907; and diamonds cut but not set, S9,000,000 against $24,000, 900 in the immediately preceding year Of the uncut diamonds imported in 1908, $2,333,333, or more than one-half of the total value, came from the United Kingdom, while of those cut but not set, s3,500,00O worth came from the Netherlands, where diamond cutting is an important industry; 3D. 750, 900 from Belgium, also place of importance in this industry; s1,000,- 900 worth from France, and $1,5O0,0O0 from the United Kingdom; practi- cally none of the diamonds imported coming direct from the diamond fields of the world-South Africa and Bra gil.
 Eggs also form quite an important item in the import as well as the ex- port trade, the number imported in 1908 being nearly 3,000,O0O and val ued at over s25,000; while in addition to this, there were $10,000 worth of yolks of eggs imported, of which ST. 333 worth came from Germany, and S2 800 worth from Belgium; the quan- tity from China being nearly s1,000 in value.
 Raw silk imported in 1908 amounted in value to s63,000.00 of which S40,- 800, 900 worth came from Japan; SS,- OOO, 900 worth from China and practi- cally S13,O00.OOO worth from Italy. Of the manufactures of silk imported, France supplied grand total of $39, 000, 900 worth imported; Germany, ST. 500. .o60; Japan, s4,O0O,00O, and Switz- erland, s3, 500, ,O00. >

America it was reasonably certain that the individual ships would. one by one, arrive with machineries loose anC almost unserviceable, with crews re- flecting a demoralized condition of tho material, and that a woeful spectacle of failure would thus be presented.
 As to the material. the cold facts are that the ships have practically taken care of their own repairs on this cruise. The repair lists turned in al the Cavite naval station were negli- gible"
 That the experience gained on the cruise will be of unending benefit to the navy is indicated from the fact that probably one-half of the entire personnel of the naval establishment participated in the epoch making trip Three of the sixteen captains who sailed in command of vessels are re- turning home as rear admirals. Eight other captains are returning in com mand of the same ship on which they began the journey of the world. From rear admiral down to midshipman the training has been such as TO other
 
 the enlisted men the training has been even more valuable. Landsmen shipped just before the start and utterly green in the ways of the deep are coming home an integralt part of a wonderful fleet efficiency and loyal believers in all that the American navy stands for. Desertions on the trip have been few. The men have taken a pride fin the cruise and it will be a constant boast with them that they started to the west from Hampton Roads and came home with prows still turned in that direction. They know the world is work and play over 45,000 miles of the watered surface of the globe.
 To Rear Admiral Charles $. Sperry, a strict disciplinarian, a man of few words, but a recognized scholar and constant student of the higher arts of naval science, fell the task of directing the fleet on all but the first 4,0O0 miles of its journey.

THE STORY OF THE VOYAGE
Valuable For the Training It Has Afforded and the Proof It Has Furnished of the Efficiency of the Ships and the Men.

Old Point Comfort, Va, Feb. 14.- Half way across the Atlantic ocean on the last long reach of their spec tacular cruise around the world. the sixteen battleships of the United States Atlantic fleet are steaming to- day in leisurely fashion toward the anchorage grounds of Hampton Roads, from whence they sailed just fourteen months ago During these months of record steaming the heavily armored fighting vessels have travelled approx imately 45.GOO miles and are returning in condition still fit for "a frolic or a fight" The cruise has been a veritable expedition of the seven seas, and tasks heretofore deemed impossible for the modern irOnclad have been accom- plished with an ease bordering on the commonplace.
 The stories of the cruise have been succeeding chapters of receptions, banquets, balls and merrymaking, but back of all this relaxation and enter taining in the hospitable ports of the two hemispheres has been a test of men and material, which has placed the American navy in an erviable po- siton before all the world. The engine room efficiency in the longer legs of the journey-developing a new and unexpectedly wide steaming radius for Q battleship; the facility ia following the motions of the flagship in the fleet, squadron and divisional maneuv- CTS, which came with constant experi- ence at sea. and above all the marvel Ous records made at the targets in Magdalena and Manila bays, tell of the real work and the substantial accom- plishments that have marked this most notable of peace demonstration among the navies of the world.
 The previously arranged schedule of the journeys from port to port had been adhered to in remarkable man. ner, except in two instances when vio- lent storms made full speed too dan gerous and uncomfortable. To offset these lapses from punctuality the fleet has made some of it's longest runs two whole days ahead of time None of the undertakings imposed upon the ships or the men has been too difficult. The cruise. however, was not inau- gurated without serious misgivings at home and abroad. Victor H Metcalf. of California. was secretary of the navy when the cruise began. After the ships had set sail from Manila with homeward bound pennants flying, Mir Metcalf said:
 When the purpose Of giving this assemblage of battleships the privi- leges and advantages of a practical cruise was announced. criticisms from high technical quarters were heard. It was suggested that the undertaking was too monumental; that a battleship is too vast and complicated a piece of mechanism to send around the globe on any ordinary occasion; that dan gers more than multiplied with num- bcrs in such a case; that disaster iurked on every submerged ledge and Was borne on every unknown tidal current; that the skeleton of some of the ships would doubtless be left in the Straits of Magellan; that, if the Fleet should succeed in rounding South

THE GRAND V|z|ER
 NO LONGER IN OFFICE
The Constitutional Government al
 Work in Turkey.

COnstantinople, Feb. 13.-After a lengthy sitting the chamber of depu- ties yesterday passed a vote of con- fidence in the grand vizier. Kamil Pasha, by 19S to s. The chamber also directed the president to com municate to the sultan a resolution minister possessing the confidence of grand vizier handed in his seals as an officer of the sultan.
 The want of confidence vote was the result of Kamil Pasha's refusal to appear before the chamber today and explain recent ministerial changes and the scene in the chamber was unprecedented. The session was marked by intense excitement and during the course of an animated de- bate, Deputy Ismail Haka referred to the grand viZier as a liar. A storm of protests against the deputy arose. but the president remained passive. Com municatiOns from the former ministers of war and marine, protesting against their removal by the grand viZier, were greeted with cheers.
 Perfect tranquaility prevails, the public appearing rather indifferent to cabinet changes. Late tonight the new grand vizier, completed his cab inet, Ali Riha Pasha, whose dismissal led to Kiamil Pasha's downfall being reappointed minister of war. He also holds the marine portfolio, and has been grand master of artillery. Hal ma Pasha takes the ministery of the interior. The ministers of finance, justice, public worKs, and commerce, in the former cabinet, are retained. There is a general impression that the whole ministery will be short lived.
