ROYALTY FINAL I ' !t I :Y l

,cr Kroai Miirlul View.
Cowes, Isie of Wight, Jan. ::;. -The
royal family yesterday took '.heir hist
;o' iiiK look at the features of the dead
(jui en. About in o'clock In the morn
ing the shell was brought into the
bedroom, where were waiting King
Edward, Emperor William, the Duke
oi! Connaught, Si James Held and the
royal ladies. The latter having re
tired, Sir .lames Rcld, With reverent
tf&nds, assisted by three trusted house
hold servants and. in the presence of
tin king, the emperor and the duke,
removed the body from the bed to the
loffln. In death it was lovelier 'ban in
the rlositiK days of life. Nol a trUCS
nt the ravages of disease was visible.
The servants having retired, Queen
Alexandra, the prince and tho
children were recalled, and, with lin
KeiiiiL', steps ami stilled sobs, they
passed Blowly before this white robed
ind peaceful flgiive, At the feet, never
moving, stood the king, and when tho
mourning crowd id passed there re
mained only the hoi mil grandson of
the dead, Emperoi vVlliiam wept even
more bitterly than the royal ladies.
Finally be also retired, and the kiiiK
v. :-s left alone. Sir James Held, beck
n!ng to the servants who were hold
ing the coffin lid. asked the king's in
structions. For a few seconds the
film stood speechless, stricken with
motion at the last farewell. Then he
laid quickly, "Close it finally, it
am si not 1 pened again."
According to a rumor circulating at
Osborne King Edward desires himself
to bo styled his Imperial majesty, in
rder to emphasize the fact that be is
mperur as well as king.
A very remarkable feature of all the
proceedings Is the intense martial air
which pervades them. The naval pa
rade off Spithead is to be the greatest,
f po Ible, the world ever saw, and
tin u Hilary arrangements at Windsor
will eclipse anything of the kind ever
attempted.

DEATH OF GlfJSEPPE VE3DI.
I ! Sriintr Pay a Trlhnte to the
(real Cuinpoaer.
Milan. Jan. 28. Giuseppe Verdi, the
celebrated composer, died yesterday
morning, aged 87. Verdi had been 111
for several days and his death was ex
pected. At midnight he began to
sink, and did not rally. His friends
were gathered about his bedside, and
the great composer's last moments
were peaceful. During his Illness he
expressed the desire to repose beside
his second wife, with whom he enjoyed
full f0 years of happy married life.
Yesterday's session of the Italian
senate was devoted to eulogies of Verdi
by the president of the senate and
GIUSEPPE VERDI,
Slgnor Saracco, the premier. Signor
Saracco announced that a marble bust
of the composer would be placed in the
senate chamber nnd that an official
delegation would be sent to attend the
funeral, adding that unless Verdi's will
directed otherwise the funeral would
be at the expense of the state.
Heavj sium Storm In Germany.
Berlin, Jan. 29. Hurricane like
snow storms prevail In many parts of
Germany and during the last 24 hours
considerable damage has been done.
The weather Is particularly violent on
the Frisian east coast, where the city
of Leer and the neighboring districts
were struck by a tidal wave. At
Frankfort-on-the-Maln snow is falling
heavily, and dispatches from Bremen
say that a strong northwest wind is
driving the water into the Weser until
it nearly reaches the edge of the dykes.
A freight train near Dresden was
partly hurled from an elevated track
and live cars were badly w recked. The
liver l.aho and its tributaries have,
overflowed, threatening railway traffic,

Harjo, or Crazy Snake, leader of the
waning Creeks, who Is a United States
prisoner In re. remained sullen yester
day and refused to confer with Lieut,
DlXOn. It is believed, however, that
Ihe wily chief will sooner or later show
a friendly spirit, and that the result
will be a prompt ending of the insur
rection. It is argued that llarjo and
his follow! is have been taught to have
a greater respect for the army officer
than for deputy marshals, believing
that the soldier is more apt to treat
them fairly. This has been brought
about not by the marshals' actions, but
because a deputy here and there in the
past has not acted wisely toward them.
Cheap Farea t California,

Now York. Jan. 29, There was great
activity in tie January options on the

steadily advanced until 12.76 was
reached, at li a. m an advance of 21.1
points from the opening. Later there
was an advance to 255 points. The
fluctuations were more violent than
ever before known. At the close the
market was quiet and steady, with
January nel 85 points higher and other

to n squeeze of shorts.
i'o Ibollah Party Convention,
Madison. Wis.. Jan. 29. A primary
election bill was introduced in both
brain lies of the legislature yesterday
and referred to committees on priv
ileges and elections. The author of
the blfl is Assemblyman E. Ray Ste
vents. Many of the objections that
have been made to the provisions of
the Minnesota law have been eliminat
ed In the Stevens bill. Caucuses and
conventions are proposed to be en
tirely abolished by the bill, and all
nominations made by the direct vote
of the electors.

HARRISBCRG LETTER.
The Legislative Committees Con

Not a Chalrmaniililp For That City,
While Philadelphia BtS Twelve
Iliuiae l'lialrmaiiahla Some of the
Ni n Meaanrea I'reaented.
(Special Correspondence.)
Harrisburg, Jan. 2X. The legislature
has at last gotten down to business.
Already a great many Important bills
have been Introduced. The appointment
of committees has shown that the stal
wart Republicans Intend to make war
on the fusionists, and lively times are
to be expected.
During last week Speaker Marshall
appointed his standing committees In
the house. The men in control of al
most every body are stalwarts. Gen.
W. II. Koontz, of Somerset, was made
chairman of the committee on consti
tutional reform. The chairmanship of
the committee on retrenchment and
reform was given to Representative
Coray, of Luzerne.
In the passing around of chairman
ships 12 were secured by Philadelphia
members. The balance were given to
the country legislators. Pittsburg did
not get a chairmanship. President
Snyder announced the senate commit
tees tonight, and again the insurgent.,
are ignored.
Speaker Marshall laid before the
house of representatives at tonight's
session the resignation of William li.
Keyser, of the Nineteenth Philadelphia
district. A resolution was adopted that
a vote of thanks be tendered Mr. Key
ser for his uniform courtesy and kind
ness, regretting his resignation and
congratulating him upon the prospects
of his election to the senate to till the
vacancy created by the death of Fran
cis A. Osbourn, of Philadelphia
A resolution was adopted urging the
Pennsylvania representatives in con
gress to support the Orotlt bill.
The senate bill authorizing the Penn
sylvania Railroad company to Increase
its capitalization to $100,000,000 was
favorably reported from committee.
A number of new bills were intro
duced. Among the bills Introduced in the
senate tonight was one auth irizlng tho
courts of quarter sessions to grant li
censes to sell intoxicating liquors at re-,
tall, w holesale or by brewers for a lon
ger or shorter period than one year in
certain cases. Another senate bill alms
to amend an act authorizing the state
treasurer to refund collateral inheri
tance tax heretofore paid or that may
hereafter be paid in error.
Perhaps the lulls of most Importance
before the legislature at the present
time are those relating to the comple
tion of the new capitol. Already three
have been put In. Senator Fox, of Mar- 1
rlsburg, was the (irst to introduce his
measure, It provides for an appropria
tion of $6,000,000, and calls for a com
pleted structure In 1905. Provision Is
made for the appointment of a commis
sion. Mr. Kennedy, of Heaver, has a'
hill appropriating $4,500,000, and, like 1
Mr. Pox, leaves the appointment of:
the commission to the governor. Mr.
Palm, Democrat, of Crawford, would 1
Spend $4,000,000, and names these men
as the proper ones to build the capitol:
A. J. Caaaatt, Robert E. Pattlson, Louis
A. Watres. H. C. McCormick. Capt.
William Hasson and John It. Jackson.
Apportionment legislation is to bo
hurried along. The Quayues Intend to
prepare bills without consolation with
the fusion forces. They figure that
they can get enough votes to pass tho
legislation.
Oleo is to be the cause of much w ran
gling. So far only the anti-butterlne
people are represented by legislation.
Two bills have gone In, one by Mr.
Harris, of Clearfield, and another by
Mr. McHlathery, of Montgomery. They
are both severe on the dealer in oleo.
:',a penalties. Including Imprison
ment, are provided.
'I he bill with the most political sig
nificance attached is the one introduced
by Senator Muehlbronner, providing a
new charter for second class cities and
"ripping'' out of office the present of
ficials. The measure is directed at the
municipal machine which controls
Pittsburg and of which Senator Will
iam Fllnn is the head. The Qliayttes
out there make the claim that a new
charter is absolutely necessary, for
t'lider the present one it is impossil le
to secure an efficient government. 'I he
bill nlso affects Allegheny and Scranton.
As to the charter featureof the meas
ure, there is little or no objection. The
trouble comes on the "ripper" clause.
Under it the governor is empowered,
within 30 flays after attaching his sig
nature to the bill, to appoint new may
ors for Pittsburg. Allegheny and Scran
ton. They would hold office until 1903.
As soon as they are named every em
ploye In those three cities, from mayor
to scrub woman, would have to step
out. The new executive would then
proceed to name all subordinates.
An attempt is being made to revolu
tionize the libel laws of Pennsylvania.
During the senatorial contest some of
the papers of the state printed articles
which caused thestalwart leaders much
annoyance. The proposed new meas
ures will make it necessary to secure
the permission from the man criticized
before the article can be printed and
will also prevent the cartooning of men
in public life, or even printing their
picture without consent.
President Gobin, of the senate, estab
lished a new precedent last week In de
ciding that the bill creating a fifth
common pleas court in Philadelphia,
which had been defeated a day or two
before, could be reconsidered on the
motion of a senator who had voted for
the hill. It has been a rule in the legis
lature to require two personswho voted
with the majority to move for the re
consideration of a defeated measure. It
was impossible for Ihe friends of this
bill to comply with this requirement,
and Senator Grady raised the point
that this senate was without rules,
as there had been no report of that
committee during this session. He ar
gued that the senate was like a town
meeting in its present condition, and
that any member has the privilege to
move for reconsideration. The bill was
finally passed and sent to the house.
The expense to the state by the crea
tion of this court will be about $22,600
a year.
