TUB CEREMONIES ON SATURDAY Members of President iU'lilnlcy's " Cabinet Tnkc the Until of Ollice mid Assiimu Their Outicx The Incoming Ollieinls lit Their Depart ments. "Washington, March 7. The members of the new cabinet took the oatli of olllce yesterday and formally entered upon their executive duties. President McKlnlcy had planned to set a new precedent by having the eight secre taries qualify together In the blue parlor of the white house, but the notice sent to Mr. Gage did not reach 111 m In time to forestall the oath taking ceremony which the new sec retary of the treasury had already ar ranged to go through with In Mr. Car lisle's private olllce. The other seven cabinet olllcers assembled at the white house about 11 o'clock. Meanwhile the members of the United States Su preme court had gathered In the blue room by appointment to pay their re spects to the president. During their reception the members of the presi dent's cabinet, who had assembled In the cabinet room on the lloor above, were sent for by the president, and Joined the distinguished party In the blue parlor. Genera! Introductions followed be tween the heads of the executive branch and the highest judicial body of the government. The gathering was a most distinguished one, and the representation of the Supreme court was markpil by the presence or the venerable Justice Field, who has sel dom visited the executive mansion for a great many years. The Introduction Into olllce of the new cabinet officers took nearly an hour's time. The only commission fully prepared was that of Mr. Sher man as secretary of state. It was the Hist one issued, and was counter signed by Mr. Olney, who was still secretary of state. It was the last olllclal act of Mr. Cleveland's "prem ier." The commissions of the other members of the cabinet had been filled out, but were not signed, Mr. Mo- Klnley signed them as president, and Mr. Sherman then countersigned them as secretary of state. When these documents had been le gally completed and delivered to the persons whose names they bore, the ceremony of administering the oath of olllce took place. Each member of the cabinet qualified In the order of precedence established by statute for the order of presidential succession. Secretary Sherman was the first to subscribe to the oath, and the others followed his example In the follow ing order: General Alger, secretary of war; Mr. McKenna, attorney-general; Mr. Gary, postmaster-general; Mr. Long, secretary of the navy; Mr. Bliss, secretary of the Interior, and Mr. Wilson, secretary of agriculture. Mr. Gage, as secretary of the treas ury, who ranks next after the secre tary of state, would have qualified sec ond had he been present. Secretary Gage's Installation took place In the treasury building, Chief Justice Fuller going across from the white house to administer the oath. Among those who were present by spe cial invitation to witness the ceremony were Mr. Carlisle, who watched the ceremony of swearing In his successor with much Interest. SECHETAIUES AT THEIR DEPART MENTS. Secietary Olney had not expected to surrender his office today, having been requested yesterday by both the presi dent and Mr. Sherman to hold over un til Monday. The change in the pro gramme was brought about by the dis covery that Mr. Sherman could not add his name to the forthcoming proclama tion calling a special session of congress until he had qualified as secretary of state. Secietary Sherman did not re main long in his ofllce this afternoon, but as soon as the Introductions to his new subordinates were over he turned over the responsibility for the signa ture of the mall to Assistant Secretary Rockhlll and went home for the day. Secretary Alger went over to the war department from the white house with Governor Schofleld, of Wisconsin, and his full staff, making a formidable pro cession as they marched through the conidors. Secretary Lamont received his successor cordially, and then the olllcers of the war department began to greet their new chief. Before he began to shake hands the secretary won the hearts of the crowd of onlookers by giving n kiss to his pretty daughters, who stood by to see their father enter upon the dutle.'.of a cabinet olllcer. Everybody who knew General Alger had an opportunity to shake hands with and congratulate him as Secre tary Alger. In the navy department a similar ceremony took place. in that Mr. Herbert stood close to Secretary Long, and as the employes of the depart ment, from the heads of bureaus to the messengers, passed in line and were Introduced to the new secretury, they stopped a few paces further ulong to express to Mr. Herbert their ap preciation of the kindly treatment he had shown to them in the four years of his secretaryship. At 11:45 o'clock Mr. Gary drove up to the postofllce department and, un attended, made his way at oneeto the postmoster-general'.s room, where Mr. Wilson was waiting to receive him. The heads of bureaus and the chiefs of divisions formed in line and passed through the room, meeting near the entrance the new postmaster-general, to whom each olllclal and clerk was Introduced. At 12:30 o'clock all the employes of the department had seen the new postmaster-general. Secietary Bliss reached the Interior department about noon. Ills first con cern wus to meet his subordinates In the customary reception, and then for an hour he and ex-Secretary Fruucls were nsuln closeted in the inner room of the olllce, going over details of de partmental affulrs. Commissioner Browning and Eugene White, of the department's Indian olllce, were called hi to explain the situation in which It was placed by the failure of the Indian appropriation bill. Gradually there gathered the hundred or more bureau chiefs, the chiefs of divisions, assistant chiefs, confidential clerks, nnd those who by scores of years of service are always invited to take part In the reception of a now secre tary. A little before 1 o'clock Mr. Francis and Secretary Bliss emerged from the Inner olllce, and Judge Fisher, chief clerk of the patent olllce, Introduced each of the assembled olll clals to his new superior. As they passed him they nlso shook hands with nnd said good-by to ex-Secretary Francis, Secretary Wilson reached the scene of Ills new duties shortly after noon, and had a conference with the out going secretary of agriculture, Mr. Morton. Mr. Wilson was at the de partment yesterday posting himself on the affairs which will come under his supervision. The newly nppointed attorney-general, Joseph McKenna, of California, has not yet assumed the duties of his olllce. THEY WANT A TRIAL. Rev. Duffy and Rev. Jacoby In a Heroic MoodNot Satisfied With the Ac tion of Senator Penrose. Philadelphia, March 7. During the late campaign for United States sena tor, Senator Penrose, the junior sena tor from Pennsylvania, had J. B. Duffy and G. W. Jacoby, clergymen, arrest ed for criminal libel on account of cer tain allegations they made against him. The two gentlemen were bound over for court, but the case has never been brought to trial. Last week Mr. Penrose wrote District Attorney Gra hntu an open letter stating that he hud determined to abandon the case against Messrs. Duffy and Jucoby and giving his reasons therefor. Today Messrs. Duffy and Jacoby addressed the follow ing letter tv Mr. Graham: Wo are advised by our counsel that Senator Penrose has written a letter to you, In which he says his counsel has Informed him "that tho above case is soon to come up for trial," and further says that though we, as "paid agents," de famed his character by the "circulation of Infamous ami false allegations," he has concluded to drop the prosecution against us In order that 'he may avoid tho "savor of persecution" and because of tho desire of "many friends, Including ministers of the Gospel." If the senator determines to abandon the prosecution, we cannot prevent It, out we do not wish this to be done under a suggestion that it is done for our benefit. We have vainly endeavored, ever since Its origination, to force a speedy hearing. At the preliminary hearing last Decem ber, our counsel asked the magistrate to make an immediate return to court. The request was not granted, and tho return was delayed so that it was not made un til this February and then only after a new and most urgent written demand by our counsel. At all times we have been ready and anxious, as we are now, lor a hearing. The arrest was made on the eve of a political contest, it is pretended to be abandoned on the ground of magnanimi ty. The motive in both instances is equally clear. We are conscious that we have done no wrong to Senator Penrose. We published neither infamous nor false allegations. We did take an active part In opposition to him as a candidate for public office. This was done on our own responsibility; not us the hirelings of any one. What was done and said was In the performance of what we esteemed a duty ami all that we said we are prepared to sustain In a tribunal of justice. No friends of ours have requested this prosecution shall be stopped. It is not our desire that It shall be stopped. We will correct the senator's assertion that the case is soon to come up for trial, therein implying that nu indictment had been found, as no Indictment has been found, and the status of the case so fur as the prosecution is concerned, apart from the enforced return, remains precisely as it did last December. Senator Penrose has preferred his re quest. We have defined our position. Wo expect that you will tnke such steps us you deem to be In the line of your duty as prosecuting attorney of this county, but we do not wish you to act under uny mis apprehension concerning ourselves or our desires. SMASHED TURKEY'S CONSULATE. liulginn Students Applaud the Greeks nnd Vent Their Feelings. Brussels, March 7. An anti-Turkey demonstration was made In this city lust evening which required the efforts of the police to suppress. The students of the city held a meeting, at which speeches were made upplauding the Greeks and denouncing the Turks, and resolutions were passed expressing sympathy with Greece. The students then marched to the Greek consulate, where they cheered for several minutes. From there they went to the Turkish consulate, which they attacked with stones, smashing the windows, at the same time keeping up a storm of howls, hoots and hisses. The police dispersed the mob with some difficulty. EARTHQUAKE AT NIAGARA FALLS. Tho Shock Felt lor u Distance of :iO .Miles on Hither Side ul the Itivor. Niagara Falls, March 7. A severe shock of earthquake occurred heie at 10.40 o'clock last night. For a distance of thirty miles on either side of tho river the shock was startling, reports from cities und villages in this neigh borhood showing that In many places consternation prevailed. On the Tusca rora Indian reservation many windows were broken. It was ut first thought to be an ex plosion, and It wus not until noon to dny thnt the chummer of the shock wus determined.

Kight 11 (Mi Drowned. London, March 7, Since the abandon ment of the scheme for the construction of a tunnel under the English channel the shaft that hud been bored at Dover has been used as a coul mine. Today, while u. number of men were ut work in tho mine, the shaft wus suddenly flooded, and eight of them were drowned, THE TREATY WILL BE CONSIDERED Committee on Foreign Relations Will Meet on Wednesday. MR. D0CKERY CRITICISES CONGRESS Tho Representative from Missouri Attacks the 51th Congress lor Its Kxpendltures Suggestions us to Future Appropriations. Washington, March 7. The senate will not meet continuously during the week. The special session between now and the calling of the extra session of congress March 15 will be devoted to the consideration of nominations and nothing else, unless the general .treaty of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain should be re ported from the committee on foreign relations. It Is not expected that President McKlnlcy has his appoint ments so well In hand that he will be able to send In a batch every day. The cublnnt l'.as been conllrmed and It Is probable that the senate, after meet ing tomorrow, will adjourn until Wed nesday. The committee on forelsn relations will meet Wednesday. Senator Davis, the ranking member, by resolution of the senate lias been made acting chair man, and there Is no reason why this committee should not go ahead with Him general treaty of arbitration be tween the United States und Great Bri tain and the Alaskan boundary treaty, the only business before it. If the com mittee is able to agree Wednesday upon the treaty and the amendments, If any are considered to be necessary, the treaty will probably be discussed and some of the time of the senate consumed In the discussion of that con vention. The retirement of Senator Sherman nnd Senator Cameron k-aves the committee just us it stood In the laHt congress, these senators being op posed to each other on the vote on re porting the treaty. DOCKERY SCOBES CONGRESS. Representative Dockery, of Missouri, In a "leave to print" speech, which Is to bo published In Tuesday's Congres sional Record, attacks the Fifty-fourth congress for Its expenditures In strong terms. He says In part: "The Republlcun party ennnot es cape the condemnation of the country fdr the unjust and unwarranted ap propriations In a time of profound commercial depression. When this congress convened at Its first session, labor was discontented because of in adequate compensation, mining Indus tries were at a standstill, manufac tories were closed or runnltiR on lim ited time, while agriculture was ut terly prostrate. "Upon the reassembling of this con gress at Its second session, In Decem ber last, these adverse business con ditions were aggravated und inteiis! fled. Every consideration of patriot ism, equity and fair dealing demand ed a policy of rigid economy. Some of the Republican leaders attempted to enforce such a policy. This house, however, with its Republican major ity of one hundred and eighty, has recklessly disregarded the obvious re quirements of the national treasury, and instead of milking an honest ef fort to close the ever-Increasing chasm between receipts and expenditures has still further widened it by appropria tions which, in their uggregute, are without precedent. "In my opinion the time has come when congress, In response to the de hands of the people, must reduce ex penditures. "The best practical method by which tills can be accomplished Is to change the rules again and clothe with the re quisite power and responsibility one committee be It the committee on ap propriations, or, as was the case prior to 1SS5, the committee on ways and means. By this method appropriations can be reduced within the revenues of the government wisely, harmonious ly and without crippling any branch of the public service. There should be one committee organized to protect the taxpayers and the treasury." .SENATOR CALL'S SUCCESSOR. Brief Sketch of Colonel John A. Hen derson. Jacksonville, Fla., March 7. Hon. John A.

PROSPECTS OF EUROPEAN WAR Results of a Conflict Between Great Britlan and Germany. PETITION IN INTEREST OF MR. UHL Americans Kcgnnlless of Politics Wish to Have llim Retained as Ambassador at Germnuy--Turkish Troops Gathering on the Frontier of Tbessaly-Tho Attitude of Ser via mid Bulgaria Cause Apprehen sion. Berlin, March 7. Extracts from the leading London pnpeis are being pub lished here, asserting that If war should occur between Great Britain und Ger many, tho former would close up every German port and blockade the entire German count. The publication of these extracts bus had a tendency to strengthen the kaiser's naval policy with the public. While an open quar rel with England Is not yet within sight, there Is a general feeling thnt something of the kind may happen In the near future, und the drift of tho popular discussion of the situation Is that It would be well to be amply pre pared when such an event occurs. Chancellor Prince Von Hohenlohe bus arranged to speak before the budset committee of the relchstag tomorrow, und will announce upon that occasion thnt the ministers are solidly In favor of the navul demands and will under no circumstances depart from their deter mination. The prominent American residents and sojourners In Berlin have cabled to President McKlnlcy a petition request ing that the Hon. Edwin F. Uhl, United States ambassador, be retained at his post, ns his recall would be deeply re gretted by American citizens through out Germany, Irrespective of political leanings. The powers are In no wise agreed among themselves to the precise terms upon which an nutonomous administra tion of the affairs ut the Island of -ruie snail ue estauilslieU, nor aro they In, concert of onln lon as to how far Turkey shall be al lowed to provoke war In the Balkan peninsula by massing troops on her frontiers. Under the pretext of self defense, the porte Is executing military plans which no European government would venture upon without the back ing of a Plethoric war chest, but the porte's capacity for military operations wus manifested In the case of the Turco-Russlan war of 1870-77, when, us now, the bankruptcy of the Ottoman empire was relied on ns a grenter factor In the defeat of Turkey than the guns of the Russians. As things turned out, though Turkey wus defeated, she found ample funds to conduct a creditable campaign. TROOPS ON THE BORDER. The advices from Constantinople, based on reliable authority, show that the Ottoman troops on the frontier of Thessaly, us well as upon the other Turkish borders, are almost In readi ness to act upon the defensive, and It Is asserted that If the coininander-ln-clilef of the forces, Edehm Pushu, should receive orders to move, he could within u week throw 75,000 well armed men over the Greek frontier, Includ ing L'l batteries of artillery nnd ten squadrons of cavalry. In addition to the mobilization of the regular forces, the Mustafuse, corre sponding to the German landsturm or second draft of those liable to mili tary duty, have been called to nrms In several districts near the Greek bor ders. The ostensible reason for sum moning this contingent Is that the ordinal y redlfs, or reserves, which were lately called out, huve been de ficient In numbers, but the summon ing of any part of the Mustafuse Is re garded us ominous of the sultun's ex pectation that something of a very serious nature Is Imminent. The attitude of Servia and Bulgaria occupies the serious attention of Eu ropean diplomacy, and It Is the opin ion in olllclal elides here that the conferences which have taken place between King Alexander of Servln and Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria have resulted In an agreement to make u fllmultaneous attack upon Turkey when the time for such action shall seem opportune. Roumanla Is looked upon as hnvlnir the Intention to tuke an active part In any scheme of re arranging the Balkan boundaries that mny be put In operation. King Charles, of Roumanla, as a member of the Prussian family of Hohenzollern, may be relied upon to have the support of Germany. SYMPATHY FOR GREECE. London, March 7. A lurge radical meeting was held lu Hyde Park today to give voice to the feeling in favor of Greece which generally obtains among the mass-ps of England. Resolutions weie udopted timid much enthusiasm expressing sympathy with the Cretan Christians In their struggle for free dom, congratulating Greece upon her firm resolve to protect the Cretans and protesting ngalnst the coercion of Greece by the powers. One of the resolutions urges Lord Salisbury to re fuse to disgrace the British fleet by lending it to support the Turks. Canea, March 7. It Is believed here that the reply of Greece to the de mands of the Powers will be a posi tive refusal to obey and that a bloody struggle Is therefore Inevitable unless the Powers recede from their position. It Is known thut Colonel Vnssos, the commander of the Greek army of oc cupation, has received instructions from King George to, hold all the posi tions In the Island now occupied by the Greek troops, and to prepare to resist to the bitter end any attempt on the part of anybody to dislodge him.
