Jan. 20. For the
second time Bobert
Emery Pattison has
been installed Gov
ernor of Pennsyl
vania. He assumed
the duties of hishigh
office shortly alter noon to-day. It was a
kindly greeting that the Capital City gave
him. The -whole State extended to him the
right hand of fellowship through its Eepre
sentatives and Senators, "in general assem
bly met." His own political party, by their
clubs from east and west, north and south,
welcomed him hack as their leader. Even
nature herself seemed to drop a bit of good

Pattison, who, with uncovered head, was
Etanding erect at the side of the supplicat

A Fleeting Gleam of Sunshine.
The light seemed to fall only on the stal
wart form of the new Governor. It took the
measure of his broad shoulders, encircled
his deep chest and played about his massive
bead. Then .it faded. The prayer was
finished and the Chief Executive looked up
with a brighter countenance. He was better
for the fleeting smile of sunshine.
The inauguration was a very pretty affair.
It was a graceful tribnte rather than a dem
onstration of pomp. It possessed stateliness
without costly gold and lace display, it was
interesting without being gorgeous and it
bad variety without great numbers. It
could not compare with the average military

or Philadelphia, and it even had its provin

of the heartiness of the local people in their
welcome to the new Governor.
, Impressive "Without Being Ostentations.
And on the platform the ceremonies were
impressive without being ostentatious. Pat
tiion, of course, was the leading object of
attention. There was something about him
that awakened admiration among the 20,000
spectators. He is a perfect specimen of the
physical man, and his whole bearing is the
eu'pliasis of manliness. The face is full of
frankness, but the eyes are cold and the lips
determined. They invariably chill the feel
ing ot admiration aroused by a glance at hit
build.
But the dramatic associations of bis see-

by his presence on the rotunda steps to-day.
Governor Beaver stood beside him. The
two men were different chapters in a
thrilling chain of events. One led the
Democrats into victory for the first time in
Pennsylvania since the war. The other led
the Republicans back to their lost throne.
The political kaleidoscope turned round and
ronnd, and once more the two rivals stood
face to face to-day. Every voter In the
crowd involuntarily reviewed the circum
stances of his second election, and remem
bered the choice of a Legislature and all
other State officials from the opposite politi
cal party. And as Pattison stood before
them the thought struck more than one per
son that with his magnificent record behind
bim Pennsylvania had conferred on him the
Coronet of honor rather than the scepter of
power.
All Flocking to the Scene.
Early in the day the city began to empty
its bouses to witness the inauguration. Al-

Members of the Legislature were privileged
to have their ladies with them in the House

for bearing and seeing the inaugural cere

All other persons bad to stand outside.
The platform for the services had been
erected on the steps of the rotunda. The
space in front was pretty well packed in by
men, women and children, when, at 11:45,
the buglers of the Governor's troop of caval

appearance upon the platform.

Habbisbtjbo, Jan. 20. The election of
a United States Senator this afternoon was
almost as formal an affair as the inaugura
tion of Governor. Taggart's agricultural
opposition to Don Cameron divided honors
wiin a jueinoaist preacner, ana men went
to pieces. The ballot was taken separately
in the two branches of the Legislature. The
result in the House was 113 votes for Cam
eron, and in the Senate 31 for Cameron, or a
total in the whole Legislature ot 144. As
123 is all that is needed ,to elect, Mr. Cam
eron had 16 more votes than were necessary.

objected. They raised the point that dur

claim the right to file bis reasons for voting.
Speaker Thompson sustained this point
and would not permit Mr. Brown to proceed.
The gentleman thereupon voted for Flood and

The great crowd which had gathered in

73; Streeter, 3. As no one candidate re
ceived a majority in both Honses there was
no election.
All contested election cases have been
declared off as a result of a compromise to
day between the Democratic and Bepub

ocratic policy to be followed to-morrow and
hereafter in joint assembly is for the party
to assume the aggressive. After taking one
ballot tomorrow, instead of adjourning
until next day, the Democrats will insist
upon ballot after ballot, voting down every
attempt to adjourn, in hopes that there will
be a break some place.

KING KALAKTTA DEAD.
The Famous Though Dusky Monarch
of the Sandwich Islands
EXPIRES UPON AMERICAN SOIL.
Interests In the United States Involved in
the Succession.
P0IRT8 OP AN 1KTEKEST1HG CAEEEE
nrrXCTAX. TSLZQKAK TO TOT S!SFATCH.t
San Fbancisco, Jan. 19. A monarch
has just breathed his last upon American
soil. King Kalakua, the ruler of "the
Sandwich Islands, is dead. The'King was
to have left here this week for Honolulu on
the United States fhgship Charleston. He
returned here last week from a trip through
Southern California. He was in poor
health when he arrived in San Francisco,
come time ago, and it is believed that the
banquets and receptions which be has been
called on to attend caused his illness.
The malady affecting Kins Kalakua is
of several years' standing, but it Vas not
made visible lo bis medical advisers until
last Thursday, when Dr. Sawyer and Dr.
Taylor were called in for consultation by
Dr. Woods. The decision was that Bright's
disease held the Hawaiian monarch firmly
In its grip. It seems that a year ago, while-j
under the care ot ur. jucuraw, me royai
physician at the islands, it was observed
that His Majesty was prone to drop asleep
suddenly at dinner, at receptions, at any
time in fact The doctors attributed this to
various causes, but did not seem to settle on
any organic difficulty.
A Bad Attack Upon Saturday.
On Saturday yHis Majesty awoke from a
semi-conscious condition and talked with
his faithful Hawaiian body servant for
several moments. Toward evening, how
ever, the stupor returned, and all during the
night and the following day tne patient was
in a semi-conscious condition. Yesterday
morning the symptoms were more threaten
ing. At 11 o'clock Dr. Woods noticed a
sudden change "in the patient's condition.
Watching every sign, he realized that the
daugerous period in the short lease of the
King's life was approaching. Presently
there came to the patient a severe spasm or
a convulsion.
The Kinir survived this, however, and lay
in a state of coma until 5 o'clock, when he
rallied and seemed to regain his faculties.
Admiral Brown stood at his side. The King
opened his eyes and recognized him with a
smile, and tried to liit his hand to grasp the
fingers of bis friend, but failed in the at
tempt. The Admiral spoke to him, and the
King said, feebly, '-Thank you."
The three physicians watched by the bed
of King Kalakua last night with his
friends, Admiral Brown and Colonel Mc
Farlane. At 5 o'clock this morning the at-
King Kalakua.
tending physicians said that be was hover
ing between life and death. The action of
the heart was sometimes scarcely percepti
ble, and the physicians did not believe it
possible for the King to survive more than a
few hours.
Not a Chance of Recovery.
At dawn this morning it was known that
all hope bad fled, and that the end was only
a question of hours. At 11:45 o'clock a
number of friends had gathered at the bed
side and Dr. Beed, of Trinity Church,
Braved for the dying King. He was then
lying on his back with upturned eyes, ap
parently unconscious and breathing sten
torionsly. At 3 o'clock the Hawaiian flag upon the
Palace Hotel was lowered, and those with
out knew that all was over. The King had
expired quietly at 2:50 p. 21. Admiral
Brown proceeded at' once to the King's
apartment. Surgeon Good came from the
sickroom and spent several moments in
conversation with the Admiral.
King Kalakua, wat born in Honolulu,
Oahu, on the 16th' of November. 1836, and
had, therefore, passed his 54th birthday.
He was the eldest son of the Hon. O.
Kapaakea and the High Chiefess Keobo
kalole, who were connected with the high
chiefs descended from the ancient sovereigns.
His Majesty claims descendency from the
great house of Keawe, from which all the
Mols (kings) ol Hawaii have descended,
and 800 generations antecedent thereto to
Lai-lai, the great progenetress or Eve of
the Hawaiian race. The Board of Geneology
of the Kingdom present a direct relation
ship of His Majesty as the great-great
grandson of Lono IL, King of Hawaii (A.
D. 1720), surnamed Ka-i-i-ma-mao, or,
according to Cook's narrative, the father of
the King Kalanipun or Terelopn, who
reigned during Captain Cook's visit.
Wedded an Early Christian Convert,
His Majesty was married in 1862 to a most
estimable Hawaiian lady Kapiolani. This
lady received her name after Kapiolani, the
famous chiefess of Hawaii, who broke the
Pele kapu (as described by Bingham, p.
225), and was one of the earliest converts to
Christianity. Kalakua was elected king of
the Hawaiian Islands on the 12th of Febru
ary, 1874, by the members of the National
Legislature, receiving 29 ont of the 35 votes
cast, Queen Dowager Emma, relic of
Kamehamea IV, receiving six votes.
Soon after his election it was determined
by His Majesty to make a tour of the
islands in order to become better acquainted
with the people. No King bad, immedi
ately after his accession, made such a tour
since the days when Kamehameha the Great
made his first triumph progress, accom
panied with bis chiefs and warriors in a
fleet of double canoes and in a style of
ancient grandeur which has long since
passed away. The tour was commenced on
March 16, 1874, and all of the islands were
visited, the trip ending by a tour of the
Island of Oahu on April 23 of that y ar.
In September,1874,tbe AmericauGovMn
rnent sent an invitation to His Majesty to
visit the United States and the United
States steamship Benecia, Captain Hop
kins, was placed at his disposal. The great
object of this visit was to aid in the negotia
tion of the reciprocity treaty between Ha
waii and the United States, Hit Majesty
tailed from Honolulu on the United States
steamship Benecia, November 17, 1874, and
arrived in San Francisco on the 29th of the
sam'e month.

slnce attendant on the country being "a
monument more enduring than brass." His
Majesty returned to his island home in 1875
after a three months trip, dnring which a
visit was made to all the places of Interest
in the United States. In 1880 His Majesty
made a tour of the world, obtaining ad
ditional honor as being the first and only
monarch who bad made that extended trip.
Tho exact effect of Kalakna't death upon
the future or the Sandwich Islands can not
as yet be stated. His successor, if it Is de
cided to continue the monarchv, will proba
bly be selected by the National Legislature.
The matter is of considerable importance,
because of the great American interests in
volved. The course of events will probably
be closely watched by the Government at
Washington.
The King's remains will be embalmed at
once. While no definite arrangements have
been made yet for the funeral services hera
andr the removal of the remains to the
Islands, it is probable that services will be
held in Trinity .Episcopal Church on Thurs
day, and that the remains will leave
here for Honolulu on the United States flag
ship Charleston before the close of the week.
The next regular passenger steamer for
Honolulu will not leave before January 27,
and it is probable that the first Intelligence
of the King's death which will be received
by the Hawaiian people will be when the
Charleston arrives at the harbor of Honolulu
with the remains of their King aboard.

to collaborate with him in matters of inven
tion. At that time stock in the Edison
Electric Light Company was telling below
par, .and was paying no dividends; stocks in
other companies formed by Edison were
valueless and unsalable; Edison him
self was financially embarrassed, his labor
atory at Menlo Park being closed, and bis
property there having been sold out by the
sheriff.
When he came to New York with Edison
no partnership agreement wat made, but
they mutuallv agreed to share equitably in
the profits ot any inventions they might
make. "The only two inventions they .pro
duced that brought any profit were the rail
"way "telegrip6r"aod Uiepbdnograph, and
these were suggested and in tne main de
veloped, so be claims, by Gilliland. At the
defendant's instance, the Edison Phono
graph Company was formed, and its stock
became valuable. Edison, he asserts, was
'satisfied with the 1500,000 Lippincott paid
him for his stock. The fact that Lippincott
agreed to give him (Gilliland) f250, 000 stock
in the company he proposed forming did
not concern x.dison,
This stock was given in consideration of
the surrender by Gilliland of an agency con
tract he held from the Edison Phonograph
Company, without which the stock pur
chased by Lippincott from Edison would
have been valueless for bis purpose, and also
in consideration of Gilliland's agreement to
give his services as an inventor to the new
company.
Tomlinson in hit answer, denies that he
was under general or special or annual re
tainer from the complainant, and says he
occupied as to mm, do general or even
special relation of attorney or counsel. The
remainder of hit answer is mainly a cor
roboration of Gilliland as to the; sale of
Edison stock to Lippincott
CHILEAN COAST BLOCKADE.
The Trade in Nitrate Will Be Stopped if It
Is Not Raised.
rtr-KCMX. TZLXOBAH TO TBI BISrATOS.1
New Yoek, Jan. 20. Newt arrived to
day that the anti-Government party bad
fulfilled its threat to blockade the principal
ports on the coast of Chile. Charles B.
Flint received this dispatch by way of Val
paraiso, dated January 19:
"Blockade established at the ports of
Iquique, Pisagua and Caleto Buena. Ex
chance, 20 pence."
The blockade, if continued, will stop
trade in nitrates, since almost all the trade
is carried on at the ports blockaded. About
1,000,000 pounds of nitrate a year are used
in this country for the manufaeture of gun
powder and of acids for laboratory purposes.
In Europe 35,000,000 pounds of nitrate are
used annually, chiefly for fertilizing. The
price of nitrate wholesale in New York has
been 1 cents a pound, and it is certain to
go up if the blockade is not lifted. It Is not
believed, however, that England, which
owns most of the nitrate fields, will let the
blockade continue long. Her war ships are
already on the way to Chile.

Byuum indicated to-day what may be the
beginning of a general move by the Demo
crats throughout the country to retaliate" on
the Bepublicans in the event of the passage
of the force bill. He said that inside of
three days from the time the force bill was
signed by the President a bill would pass
both houses of the Indiana Legislature, pro
viding forthe election ofPresidental electors
for 1892 by the Legislature.
After the bill was passed, the Legislature
would proceed in joint convention to' elect
15,Demccratlc electors and alternates; in
structed ttf meet at Indianapolis in Decem
ber, 1892, and cast the vote of Indiana for
President. It has been taid that thesame
method might be adopted in Ohio, Michigan
and Wisconsin, and the statement has at
tracted considerable interest here.
A "Wild Scene in the House.
The wildest, maddest scene that has oc
curred in the House of Representatives for
years happened to-day. The storm centered
in Mr. Mills on the floor ot the House, but
the storm god who sa up aloft and set the
whirlwind out upon its career was Thomas
B. Beed, the, Speaker of the House. The
thunder was rolling and the lightning was
flashing all around, but the fat storm king,
with his round, chubby face and bald head,
the gavel firmly grasped in bis right hand,
looked serenely down upon the turbulent
scene, himself as cool as a encumber.
Mr. Mills is a creature of impulse. Mr.
Beed is a cold, calculating machine. Of
course, the occasion of the entire disturb
ance was Mr. Beed's administration of his
own rules which is all comprehended in one
short formula, namely, "I say no." The
question before the House was the approval
of yesterday's journal. The journal had
been read in full and Mr. McKinley, the
Bepublican leader on the floor, had promptly
called for the previous question upon Its
approval, when Mr. Bland, on the Demo
cratic side rose and demanded that the
journal be read in eztenso.
A Dispute on Parliamentary Practice.
The Speaker ordered this to be done as ha
could not well refuse to do so, and when
the Journal Clerk at lovelock finished the
reading. Mr. McKinley was again on his
feet. .Thitjtinle.-he moTed that the journal,
as read, be approved. Mr. Hills rose and
made the point of order that the proper ques
tion was upon the previous question.
The Speaker said that Mr. McKinley had
not called for the previous question upon the
extended journal, and Mr. McKinley cor
roborated the Speaker's statement. Mr.
.Mills then declared that he desired to dis
cuss the motion to approve the journal,
which was a debatable motion. The Speaker
declined to recognize bim on thegroundthat
the House was dividing.
Then the storm clond burst. With ex
cited gestures, Mr. Mills strode down the
aisle, and shaking hid fist at the Speaker,
ponred out a volume of denunciation, ac
cusing bim of practicing a fraud on the
House. "You are perpetrating a fraud
upon the House," he thundered, "and you
know it," and bis party colleagues burst
into a round of applause and cheers and
gathered around the champion.
Beed Did Not Give an Inch.
But the Speaker was immovable, and
amid the excitement, requested those op
posed to the approving oi the journal to rise.
Phlegmatically he counted "one.two.three,"
and announced the motion carried 97 to 3.
The yeas and nays were demanded by the
Democrats and ordered, and as the clerk
proceeded to call the roll, Mr. Mills poured
out his denunciations.
Again be accused the Speaker of per
petrating a fraud upon the House, and re
ferring to McKinley. said: "We did 'not
expect the gentleman from Ohio to lend
himself to such a proceeding. We relied
on the gentleman from Ohio, for we be
lieved him an honorable gentleman, and we
knew he (indicating the Speaker) -was
not"
Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, (sarcastically)
And he (indicating Mills) is a gentleman.
Mr. .Allen, or Mississippi "xnat is more
than-can be said ot some persons on the
other side.
Then, as the clerk went on monotonously
calling the roll, Mr. Mills (ignoring bim)
proceeded substantially as follows: "Yon
do not dare to go before the country with
such a revolutionary measure as you are
proposing to pass. We have a right, under
the rules to debate the question of approving
the journal, and you (addressing the
Speaker) are denying that right. Demo
cratlo cheers.
Charges of Treason on Both Sides.
Mr. Kerr, of Iowa Such proceedings at
this are treasonable, and they are helped by
a man who helped treason before.
Mri Mills Yon are a traitor yourself to
the Constitution and laws. You are trying
to' surround the ballot box with bayonets
and to deprive the people of their right of
representation.
Then followed enthusiastic Demoeratie1.
applause, while the Bepublicans crowded 1a"1
the 'bar of the House and announced their
disapproval by Insty hisses.1 The House
was a regular babel of voices, excited, loud
but intelligible. Mr. Cutcheon, of MIchI-'
gan, stood in the center aisle, aad as Mn'
Mills went on repeated with Indignation and
emphasis the one word "nosh." MrMills
reply to this exclamation- was "Bring la
another resolution of censure thea."
By this time affairs had -approached to
near to a personal 'rupture between the
eentlemen on the opposing sides that the
Speaker was obliged to call on thefSergeant
at Arms for assistance, and that officer,
bearing the mace in front of bim. induced
Mr. Mills to take his seat, and the storm
passed away for the time. The journal was
approved, vest Hi, nays 103.
Mr. HcComas, of Maryland, moved that
the House go into committee of the whole
on the Distriot of Columbia appropriation
bill. Mr. McCbmas motion was agreed to,
yeas 119, nays 107, and accordingly the
House went into committee of the whole,
Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, in the chair, on
the bill indicated.
The Force Dill Always Turning Vp
In the cursory debate which attended the
reading of the bill by paragraphs, the
elections bill was brought to the fore, Mr.
Hemphill, of South Carolina, declaiming
against what be denominated the arrant
