PARLIAMENT OPENED.
The Usual Pomp and Display Observed
at the Big Function.
THB‘HUNT FOR GUY FA’WKES
All of the Old Customs Rizidly Adhered
To—The Queen’s Address—She Takes
a Hopefulrl'lew of the Broad
Efl‘ect of Arbitration.
LONDON, Jan. 20.—The third session of
the fourteenth parliament was formally
opened by royal commission at 2 o’clock
this afternoon. The function was observed
with all due and customary ceremony.
Early in the morning a strong detachment
of police moved down Whitehall and sta-
tioned themselves at the various entrances
leading to the houses of parliament. Early
as was the hour a large crowd had already
assembled. They filled the space between
Westminster bridge and the abbey, hung
in groups about the stone railing sur-
rounding both houses and seriously im-
peded traffic. . ,
Shortly after 9 o’clock a body of yeomen
of the guard, commonly known as “beef
eaters,” attired in their quaint costumes
of bonnet, leather breeches and Elizabethan
collar, carrying short swords and halberds,
arrived at the door of the house. ‘ They
were accompanied by rt police inspector,
and their mission was the customary visit
of inspection—a .custom which has ob-
tained since the famous gunpowder plot—
to the vaults of the houses of parliament.
The vaults of the house of lords were
first examined. They were found to be
duly swept and presented no trace of a.
Guy Fawkes or other conspirator. Then
by a private staircase the detachment en-
tered the house of commons, whore care-
ful search revealed a like condition. This
accomplished, the . “beef eater-s” moved
across Whitehall street to a. noted wine-
house, which has been in existence for over
three centuries. At the time of the gun4
powder plotits then proprietor, an ardent
loyalist, assisted in the search which the
alarmed officials, when warned by 0rd
MOntea-gle, instituted. He then invited'
them to assemble at his shop and “quad a
cup of wine” in recognition of their labor,
and this custom has been constantly re-
peated by. his successors since 1605.
A Bush For Seats.
In the meantime preparations for the re-
assembling of members began early at the
house of commons, and there was quite a.
rush to secure desirable seats. In the Eng-
lish parliament it is only necessary for a
. member to personally place his but upon
any coveted seat in order to secure its re-
tention. In consequence some of the mem-
bers arrived as early as 6 a. m.
For the next few hours a steady stream
of commoners filtered in, and the police
without were busily employed in inspect-
ing the cabs which bore them within the
inclosure. Between 11 and 12 o’clock the
arrivals were much more numerous than
in the preceding hours, and the house it-
self, the lobbies and the corridors were
filled'with groups of members and their
constituents, and the scene presented was
one of great animation.
Most of the Irish members took places
on the cross benches and were soon on—
gaged in earnest conversation. John Dil-
lon took his usual seat on the third bench
below the gangway. Shortly before 2
o’clock the speaker came in and was cor-
dially greeted by numerous friends. Pray-
ers were then read before the now crowded
house, and at their termination Mr. Gully
took the chair, and many members filed
past the table to shake hands with him.
Mr. W. J ohnstone, member for South
Belfast, won the honor of being the first
member to secure his seat.
At 2 o’clock there was a mighty clangr
ing of electric bells, and simultaneously
another batch of policemen appeared and
formed the crowd in the lobbies so that a
passageway 20 feet wide was left clear be-
tween the two houses. Thcn of a sudden
all eyes shifted toward the door of the
house of lords. Black Rod was coming
to summon the commons to the reading of
the queen’s speech. .
The Queen's Address.
The queen’s address to the two houses
was as follows:
“MY Loans AND GENTLEMEN—My rela-
tions with all of the other powers continue
to be of a friendly character. The appall-
ing massacres which have taken place in
Constantinople and other parts of the Otto-
man dominions have called for the special
attention of the powers signatory to the
treaty of Paris. Papers will be laid before
you . owing the considerations which in-
duced the powers to make the present con-
dition of the Ottoman empire the subject
of special consultation by the representa-
tives of the powers at Constantinople.
The conferences of the six embassadors to
the porte are still proceeding.
“ The action undertaken by the khedive
of Egypt against the caliph with my, ap-
proval and assistance has been entirely
successful. His forces, supported by my
officers and troops. have won back the fer-
tile provinces of Dongola to civilization by
operations which were conducted with re-
markable skill, and the way has been
opened for a further advance whenever
such a step is judged to be desirable.
“ My government has discussed with the
United States, as a friend of Venezuela,
the terms under which the pending ques-
tions of a disputed frontier between that
republic and British Guiana may be equi-
tably submitted to arbitration. An ar-
rangement has been arrived at with that
government which will, I trust, effect an
adjustment exposing to risk the interests
of any colonists who have established rights
in the disputed territory.
“It is with much gratification that I
have concluded a treaty for general arbi-
tration with the president of the United
States, by which I trust that all differences
that may arise between us will be peace-
fully adjustcd. I hope that this arrange-
ment may have further value in commend-‘
ing to other ' powers the consideration of
the principle by which the danger of war
may be notably abated.
Rebellionettes Overcome.
“The rebellion in Matabeleland and
Mashonaland has been repressed, by the.
stcadfastness and courage of the settlers,
re-enforced by my troops and volunteers,
both of the English and Dutch races. I
deplore the loss 'of valuable lives which
' these operations have entailed.
“Tho depressed condition of the sugar
industry in the West Indian colonies has
seriously affected their prosperity. I have
appointed a commission to investigate the
causes and, if possible, to suggest means
of amelioration.
“It is with much regret and with feel-
ings of the‘deepest'sympathy that I have
heard th owing to the failure of the au-
tumn rai s scarcity and famine affects.
large portion of India. My government in
posing ever witnessed on the island.
that country is making every effort, to
mitigate the suffering and lessen the ca—
lamity by the development of railways and
irrigation works. The forethought given
through a long series of years to the prepa-
ration of the most effective arrangements
for alleviating distress caused by famine
i,‘ makes their task more hopeful than in the
case of previous visitations. My people
through my dominions at home and in
India have been invited to second with
their liberality the exertions of the govern-
ment. Papers showing the extent of the
famine and the measures taken to reliéve
the suffering will be laid before you. A
plague has also, made its appearance in
Bombay and Karachee, and notwithstand-
ing the precautions adopted by the local
authorities it shows no signs of decrease.
I have directed my government to take the
most stringent measures for the eradica-
tion of the pestilence. ' '
“GENTLEMEN on THE HOUSE OF COM-
MONS—The estimates of the year will be
laid before you. . While desirous of guard-
ing against undue expenditure, I have felt
that the present condition of the world
will not permit you to depart from the
spirit of prudent foresight in which you
have during recent years provided for the
defense of the empire.
Education and Fortification.
' “MY Loans AND GEKILEMEN—A meas-
ure for the promotion of primary education
by securing the maintenance. of voluntary
schools will be laid before you, and if time
permits you will be invited to consider fur-
ther proposals for educational legislation.
“It is desirable to make better provision
for the compensation of working people
who suffer from accidents, and a. bill with
that object in view will be submitted to
you.
“Your consent will be asked to provi-
sions which in the judgment of the milita—
ry authorities are required for the eflicien-
cy of the military defenses of the empire.
A bill will also be submitted to you to im-
prove the arrangements for the water sup-
ply of the metropolis.
“In order to promote the interests of
agriculture, which are of paramount im-
portance, in Ireland, you will be asked to
consider a. bill to establish a board of agri-
culture, and further legislative proposals
will be brought before you if the time at
your disposal is sufficient for the purpose.
“Bills admitting the evidence of accused
persons amending the law in respect of
bills of sale and the registration of land,
for revising the acts in respect of the forma-
tion of limited companies, an amendment
to the agricultural holdings act in Great
Britain, the exclusion of goods manufac-
tured in prisons in other countries, the
establishment of reformatorics for inebri—
ates and for amending‘the existing proce-
dure in respect of private bills coming
from Scotland and Ireland have been pre-
pared.
“I heartily commend your important
deliberations to the guidance of Almighty
God.” '
The Irish parliamentary party at its ses-
sional meeting held today re-eloctcd John
Dillon as chairman. Timothy M. Hcaly
protested against the re-election of Mr.
Dillon by acclamation and insisted that a
ballot be taken on the subject. This was
done, and the result was the defeat of the
Healyites.
THE STRIKE AT LEADVILLB.
Efforts of the Governor of Colorado to Ef-
fect a Settlement.
LEADVILLE, 0010., J an. 20.—As a result
of Governor Adams’ visit at Leadville the
Miners’ union submitted a proposition to
the mine owners for the settlement of the
strike. The proposition was rejected and
a counter offer submitted. Bot-h proposi-
tions treated almost wholly of wages, dif-
fering only in rules. The miners asked for
the recognition of organized labor, and the
mine owners in their proposal said they
were not opposed to “law abiding organ-
ized labor.” The proposition of the man-
agers was refused by the representatives of
the mine owners, and they then withdrew
all offers and left. After further confer-
ence with the managers thegovernor sent
for President Boyce and E. V. Debs, and
for two hours they discussed the situation,
this being the first time since the govern-
or’s arrival that representatives of the op-
posing organizations have been brought
together.

That hideous and deathly
" ,, «demon of sickness—constipa-
tion, is an easy enough thing to cure if
you take the right medicine. Constipa-
tion is one of the c’ommonest things in the
world. It is really one Of the most seri-
ous things. Fully nine-tenths of all the
ordinary sickness of mankind is due to
this one cause. If you lace an obstruc-
tion in the gutter, it wil stop the flow of
water, and gradually a mass of poison-
ous, putrefying matter will accumulate
That is exactly what happens in the
digestive organs when constipation be-
'ns. Poisonous matter accumulates and
is forced into the blood. It goes all over
the body and causes all sorts of symp-
toms. A few of these are dizziness, flatu-
lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches,
loss of appetite, loss of sleep, foul breath,
distress after eating, biliousness and erup-
tions of the skin. These things are un-
pleasant, but they are not serious. The
seriousthings come afterward. Doctor
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are for the cure
of constipation. They are tiny, sugar-
coated granules, easy to take, mild and
eflicient in their action. One is a gentle
laxative, two a mild cathartic. There is
nothin else in the world like them.
There IS nothing that takes their place.
There is nothing “ just as good,” although
lieing and unscrupulous druggists may
sometimes tell you so for their own profit.
Do you want to lose your health so that
the druggist can get rich? ‘ ’

Poultry for M urkei .
A man may dabble in poultry as a
side issue or pastime while his bread
and butter is assured from some ether
.source, and get some fanciful ideas.
that appear quite attractive when en-
thusiastically presented, but the man:
whose living mainly depends upon the
output of his poultry yard .is much.
more likely to learn the hard practical
facts that count for most in the final.
roundup. ' '
A long experience in the production
of poultry and eggs for market has.
made a few matters very plain to me;
Theorists and ultra fanciers may say
what they like, but hard facts gained
from practical experience are settler-3..
One of these facts is that there is not:
more than five or six breeds of fowls-
in the entire list that will pay the
raiser a profit. In view of all the
praises that have been bestowed upom
the many new and fancy breeds by in~~
‘terested boomers this may sound some“
what strange, but practical tests quick~
ly shatter the air castles of the attic,-
dreamers.
Practical expcricncc has demonstrati'
ed that the two most profitable breeds
in all the list are Plymouth Rocks and
Wyandots, and' these are the only
ones I could conscientiously"advise any
person who desires to raise poultry for
a living to adopt. W'ith plenty of
range and a good market for eggs the»
year around, the Leghorn will pay well.
for the care bestowed upon it; but stillo
I would prefer to take my chances
Vwith either of the other two breeds. if
the object was a living. When Ar-
mour began buying poultry a few
years ago, he issued a circular to the
farmers from whom his buyers ob-
tained the bulk of their supplies, ad-
vising them to raise only the two
breeds mentioned, because they were
most profitable for seller and buyer
alike, and because the city markets de-
manded such a fowl. We are well.
aware that Armour did not understand.)
the handling of poultry for sentiment
or amusement, but for profit, and he
knew well enough what sortof a fowl,
as well as what sort of an animal, fur-
nishes the greatest quantity of the sort
of meat that is wanted by customers.
Great Dairy Interests. .
The magnitude of the dairy interests
of the United Statesis not generally
appreciated. Cows are familiar 'ob‘
jects and milk and butter are seen-
everywhere and used with reasonable-
freedom in almost every family. But
few stop to consider the aggregate and,
relative value of the cow and her pro-
ducts. In classifying the agricultural
products of the United States accord-
ing to value, butcher’s meats and meat
products take the first place; in, gross
value the corn crop comes next, the
hay crop third and dairy products.
fourth. Wheat, cotton and other sta-
ple crops then follow. But large parts
of the corn and hay crops directly con--
tribute to the dairy and appear in mar-
ket only as transformed into dairy pro-
ducts; making proper allowances on
this account, it is found that the pro-
ducts of the dairy hold the second“.
place on the list, exceeded‘in yearly
value only by meats. This annual"
value of what may be called our dairy
crop approximates $450,000,000. This--
is more than all our mining products,.
other thancoal, oil-and gas. Much.
has been heard lately of precious met-~
als; it may be interesting to note that
there never has been a year when the
entire gold and silver product of.the
world was enough to buy the dairy
products of this country the present
year.
Keep the Live Stock in Good Condition:
'It is the best and safest plan to put
the livestock on winter rations in good'
time, and before they become really
hungry and lose flesh by thewant of
nutriment in the food gathered from-
the fields. As seen as the frost has taken.
the starch out of the herbage, and les--
sened its ability to nourish an animal,.
the main supply of food should be-
rgiven from the winter stores. To fall.
dfi now is tokeep out of condition all:
the winter. It is quite possible to stall-
feed an animal with anccess in ' the.
winter, but the consumption of food:
will be considerably increased over
and above what would be required at’
any other season. _It is an old saying.
an animal well summered is half wint--~
cred. It‘is perfectly true, for once the
system is in a thrifty condition, it is-
more easily kept so than it can be re-
covered from a lowered state of health-
~znd Vigor. Thus, joist now it should.
be the efi'urt to prevent any falling of!“
in the condition, and put all the StOCk‘
into winter quarters in as fine a state
of health as is possible. '
A Point for Dairy men. '
I wish to say most emphatically that
the time is rapidly approaching when
strictly fancy butter will always sell.
more quickly and bring more money
than butter 'which commonly passes.
current as fine. Thus .the importanc of'
making the creamery equal to the’ best. .
must be apparent. The color of the—
" butter is of great importance in the--
New York trade. There is now a.
growing demand for pale color. ‘ High-
ly colored butter does not look‘ well at
best, and the addition of so much col-
‘ boring matter-imparts a foreign flavor;
There is on increasing tendency to’~.
ward milder butter; our exporters ob~ .
ject to heavy salted.»' In England, 3
per icen‘t of salt is.considered ample.—
