He went to Russia, and that killed him. I once met Wellington, too. but he's dead. Yes, they arc all dead." The aped man passed his hand over his brow as if striving to remember some detail, an effort" in which he failed. "Wellington." he continued, "should have died before he did. He was no friend of the United States." Mr. Martin was born in New York on July 4, 1S. His health is pretty good, but his l'0 years' of life are weighing him down. - His mind Is not as clear now as it used to be, and the gaps in his memory are growing wider every day.

It Rivaled President BIcKlnley'a in Ceremony, if Not In n Social Way. MANILA, Jan. 1. If President McKinley's New Year's reception proved greater than that of Gen. MacArthur it was not the fault of the people of Manila. The reception was the first official function at which the Americans and Filipinos have mingled in m social way. For three hours a stream of vehicles wound through the grounds of the Governor-General's residence and discharged their callers official and civilian ivost of them natives, though there was a sprinkling of foreigners. The American flag, bunches of Nlpa Cowers and vines predominated in the decorations throughout tho mansion. Admiral Remy received the callers by the side of Gen. MacArthur and the wives of several generals assisted. The introductions were made by Gen. MacArthur's staff, assisted by members of the staff of Admiral Remy. The callers, after having been introduced, passed cut upon a broad balcony overhanging the Pasig river and a majority of them lingered about the mansion until the ceremonies were finished Archbishop Chappell, the apostolic delegate to the Philippines, and other church dignitaries were received first. The members of the Philippine commission and th judges appeared in bluck frock coats and their attire formed a decided contrast to the "w hite and gold uniforms of the officers of the army and navy. The Filipino women wore elaborate costumes and conversed affably in Spanish The use of carriage numbers was not understood by the coachmen and much contusion occurred outside.

IXCOJIING CHIEF EXECUTIVES. Plngrec Succeeded in Michigan by Aaron T. Uli im. a Repabllcnu Without Vagarie. . ALBANY. N. Y., Jan. 1. Benjamin D. Odell, jr., was to-day inaugurated Governor of the State of New York. There was a greater outpouring of people and a grander military display than have attended a ceremony of this character for many years. Over 1.500 National Guardsmen were in line in the escort column, and, In addition, civilians who have been the life-long friends and neighbors of tho new executive, who had come to this city to attest their friendship. Tho various ceremonies connected with the inauguration were of a most imposing character. Governor Roosevelt, the retiring Governor, shared with Governor Odell to a great extent the demonstration of welcome in tho Assembly Chamber. The escort column reached the executive mansion at 10:13 a. m. At the executive mansion Governor Odell. attended by his executive staff and his military secretary, awaited the coming of Adjutant General Hoffman and the other members of his military staff, who had assembled at, the department of the adjutant general at It o'clock, and proceeded to the executive mansion, reaching there about 11 o'clock. Major Generol Roe and staff also assembled at the - capital and proceeded to the executive mansion to form part of the Governor's escort. Governor Roosevelt, who has been stopping at the Hotel Ten Eyck since his return to this city yesterday, reached the executive chamber at 10 a. m. As he had completed his term of office at midnight there -was no official busincs3 for him to transact and he spent tho period preceding the arrival of the new Governor in conversation with his staff and with tho large number of public men who called to wish him a happy New Year. The Governor-elect and hl3 military escort were cordially greeted on their march from the executive mansion to the Capitol and the Governor-elect repeatedly had to bow his acknowledgements. Governor Roosevelt and staff received Governor-elect Odell and his staff in the public audience chamber of the executive suite of the Capitol building. The new Governor was warmly greeted by Governor Roosevelt. They spent several minutes in conversation after which a line headed by the two Governors and composed of the military staffs, Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff and tho other State officers, were formed and proceeded to tho Assembly Chamber where the Inauguration ceremonies took place on a platform erected over the speaker's desk. The Chamber was filled to overflowing. On tho platform were seated Mrs. Odell, wlfe of the Governor; B. B. Odell, sr., his father; Albert Odell, his son, and other members of the Governor's family, the wlvei ot the State officers and members of their families, the head3 of State departments and their wives, daughters and their friends. Governor Odell, Governor Roosevelt and the other members of tho executive party entered the Chamber at the noon hour and were greeted with applause. Right Rev. William Crosswell Doane opened the ceremony with prayer. In welcoming the new Governor, Governor Roosevelt said: "Governor Odell, It becomes from this moment your solemn duty to stand at the head of this greatest State of our Union, a State which, in point of size, population, wealth and wide variety of interests and of industries, rises above many world-famous kingdoms or commonwealths. Great powers are given you on the one hand, and on the other hand, your task is neither light nor easy. But you come to it with the special ability and special training which peculiarly fits you to perform it ably and well. In a sense, a Governor's term begins with his election, for, as soon as elected, he must begin to make ready for his exacting and engrossing duties. The earnestness you have already given us In the way in which you regard these duties and in the spirit in which you approach them, is such that we have the right to express, not merely the hope, but the confident belief, that, at the end of your term as Governor you will have won the right to stand with that list of public servants whose memory the great Empire State delights to hold in peculiar honor." THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Governor Odell then delivered his inaugural address, as follows: 'With the "assumption of responsibilities come doubt and uncertainty which even the applause and good wishes of our friends cannot entirely dissipate. Especially is thi3 truo of him into whose keeping is placed the administration of the affairs of our commonwealth. New York, an empire in itself, with its vast population, its many and diverse interests, demands from its executive the greatest conservatism and wisdom as to its needs and that its business -affairs shall be transacted with economy and good Judgment. "Under our form of government, when the will of the majority has been expressed, we should forget our partisanship in our desire to uphold and strengthen the hands of those whom for the time being we have clothed with authority, and upon whom the responsibility for the proper enforcement of our laws is placed. "The success of our State administration depends as much upon its component parts as upon the aggregate and it is a right which the executive can demand, and every loyal citizen should accord, that In every municipality, in every township and hamlet, the same economical conditions shall prevail as are expected In the administration of our State affairs. "The burdens of taxation should be adjusted as to fall lightly upon those who can 111 afford to bear them, and be borne more generously by those who have received from the State protection and rights which have given to their vast business interests the success they deserve. Combination In restraint of individual rights should be curbed and a welcome extended to all whose energy and genius will add to the luster and fame of the Empire State, and aid us In upholding our business and commercial supremacy. The care of our wards should be as generous as their necessities may require, never extravagant, and never niggardly. "To the Governor Is intrusted the execution and to the Legislature the lawmaking power of the commonwealth. The duties are separate und distinct ami can never be combined without a serious impairment in the efficiency of both. It shall be my object, therefore, to keep strictly within the letter t:tid spirit of the law and to give effect to such act. of the Legislature as may seem to me to le in the direction of public good, withholding good only when measures fal: below this standard. In thus aiding In the consumption of all worthy objects I shall be guided solely by the desire to give to the mandates of our Constitution tlulr full effect and to the wishes of our people their full purport. . "If. In the performance of those duties I shall, in a measure, be as successful as have so many of my predecessors; If, upon the threshold of a new century with all of its possibilities, the positive and affirmative action of the incoming administration can aid In solving those, great questions which so much interest us, 1 shall feel as much pride In the contemplation of uch results as you do. tdr. aa you look back upon the success which has attended your administration." The oath of office was thrn administered by Secretary of State John T. McDonnough. This concluded the ceremony and tho band played and the audience cheered. Gov

ernor Odell held the usual noon-day reception in the executive chamber.

BLISS IXAL'GL'IIATED. Governor Plngrree's Place Taken by a Thoroughbred Republican. LANSING, Mich., Jan. 1. At noon to-day Aaron T. Bliss, of Saginaw, was Inaugurated Governor of Michigan on the front steps of the State capltol building.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1. By an opinion by the Appellate Division yesterday, the act of 18S5, known generally as the "Stonecutters' law," is made inoperative. The statute enacted five years ago required that all stone used in municipal work in this State except paving blocks and crushed stone, should be worked, dressed and carved within' the boundaries of the State. The opinion was based on an action brought in the Supreme Court by Ralph J. Treat, a contractor, to obtain 13,281 as an installment on sewer work. Controller Coler declined to pay on the ground that Treat was not using stone cut in this State and he was sustained by tho lower court. Tho relator contended that "the stone law" was in contravention of tho commerce laws of tho Constitution of the United States and void. He also alleged that tho clause in the contract inserted In pursuance of the statute of July 2, 3900, declaring illegal various contracts, combinations or conspiracies in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, He made further claim that the statute is in conflict with the State Constitution and the fourteenth amendment of tho United States Constitution. - 4 Stemmers Strike May Spread.

L The comet recently discovered by Giovanni Claconlni, at Nice, France, In the constellation of Thetis, has been observed here the past week by Mr. Altken. It Is a faint object of tho eleventh magnitude, and therefore requires a telescope of considerable size to observe it. Mr. Aitken has determined the path in which the comet is moving. Its perihelion passage, or time of its nearest approach to the sun occurred on Dec. 1 at a distance only 2 ler cent, smaller than the earth's distance from the sun. The plane of Its orbit makes an angle of 21 degrees with the ecliptic and intersects it in longitude 193 degrees The present distance of the comet from tho earth is some 80,000,000 miles, and the distance is increasing. The brightness is decreasing so there Is no chance that the object will te visible without a telescope, Xoted "Crook" Killed. ST. LOUIS. Jan. 1.

ON TRAIL OF DE WET

GENERAL KXOX HAS NOT YET TAKEN THE ELUSIVE I JO CR. Una Succeeded, Hovrever, in Caplnrin&r Some Snppllea mid Six Thousand Round of Ammunition. CAPE COLONY IN A FERMENT OVER 5,000 DOERS SAID TO RE RAII1I THE COUNTRY. . L Eastern Tortlon I.oynl to Ilrltnln, hat the Western Section Ready to Join the Invaders LONDON, Jan. 1. General Kitchener has telegraphed to the War Office the following, under date of Pretoria, December 31: "General Knox, who has been following up De Wet, reports that he has captured seme horses, five wagons with supplies and 6.000 rounds of ammunition. He has released and allowed to go to their farms seventy-six Boer prisoners, who were taken at De Wet's laager and who were being fcreed to fight. "General French recently captured twelve prisoners and a large amount of carts and cattle. Among the prisoners were a dispatch rider bearing a letter frow Beyers for Smuts." "The aspect of affairs Is scarcely less gloomy," says the Cape Town correspondent of the Times, "than at the beginning of 1900. The Invading Boers are numerically fewer, but they have penetrated further south and their presence in such centers of hostile Dutch feeling as Graaf Reinet constitutes an element of danger which did not exist last January. The proclamation calling for volunteers comes very late. Invaders have been enabled to obtain fresh horses. All the horses in the colony ought to have been commandeered or bought at the first sign of invasion." Tho correspondent complains of the Inertia and reticence of tho authorities. 3,000 Doers In Cape Colony. LONDON, Jan. 2.Tbe Cape Town correspondent of the Daily Mail, who dwells or. the gravity of the position In Cape Colony, pays: "The Boer invaders now number 5.000. The western invasion gives the most concern.. It has ppllt Into two divisions, which aro marching like the prongs of a fork, one by way of Sutherland toward Malmesbury, and the other toward Beaufortwest. The enemy are now ranging over immense tracts of territory, necessitating the employment of an army corps to deal with theni. Lord Kitchener has poured troops Into the disturbed areas, but tho fugitive tactics of the Boers have, to a large extent, neutralized his precautions. It was felt, that the only means of excluding tho invaders from the rich districts in the western part of the colony was to call out the farmers. To-day's telegrams promise a splendid response from the eastern portion, but the western is doubtful, not GO per cent, of the population being regarded as loyal. Hence the Boer concentration In that "direction. Letters arc arriving hero detailing damage and robbery by the Invaders and beseeching military assistance. Any action on the part of tho colony will not abate the urgent reed of large reinforcements." ' Many Doers Destitute. .CHICAGO, Jan. 1. Samuel A. Calhoun, secretary of the American Transvaal League, addressed a letter to the public to-day in which he denies the reports lately circulated that the Boers are not Iii need of money or supplies. He Intimates that these reports come from friends of the British. Mr. Calhoun declares that hundreds of Boer women and children are destitute and in need of immediate help. He asks that all who are in sympathy with the Boer cause contribute as much as possible. The donations should be sent to Charles D. Pierce, consul general of the Orange Free State at New York city. Martial Law to De Extended. CAPE TOWN. Jan. 1. A special meeting of the Cabinet was held to-day at which, it is understood, a decision was reached to make a further extension of martial law.

Replying to an address from the American Boer commission Mr. Kruger expresses a desire to visit the United States, but said he must postpone the visit on account of the affection" of the eyes from which he is suffering. Captnred by Doers. COLES BURG, Cape Colony, Dec. 31. Two hundred and fifty Boers captured fourteen men of Nesbltt's Horse, fifty miles southeast of Colesburg.

Dense fog of what is called the pea soup variety, and the worst in several years, covered the whole of the London district to-day, seriously interfering with traffic of all kinds. Even pedestrians had difficulty in finding their destinations. The floods continue in the country. The water in the lower part of the Bath is twelve feet deep. Boats have been kept busy rescuing the inhabitants of the place from the water. Four deaths from drowning are reported. Thousands have been rendered idle through the closing of inundated works. In some districts trains were held up all night, out of the reach of assistance. Duke of York Promoted. LONDON, Jan. 1. The promotion of the Duke of York from the rank of captain to that of rear admiral as a preliminary to his vhslt to Australia and Canada gives universal satisfaction, and the fact that he thus passes over the heads of sixtysix senior captains will not in the slightest degree detract from his universal popularity in the navy. Since tho Duke of Edinburgh succeeded to tho duchy of SaxeCoburg the British navy has lacked the distinction of a princely fi;g officer. The Duke of York visited Australia with his brother as a cadet twenty years ago. Died on the Mountain Side. LONDON. Jan. 1. Mr. P. Collins, who arrived at Fermoy, Ireland, from Ametlea cr. Thursday, Dec. 27, has been found dead or. the mountain side, almos-t within night or his father's home.

NEW YORK, Jan. l.The Evening Telegram to-day says: "With the end of the century Mayor Van Wyck took steps towards putting an end to gambling, and as a result practically every gaming resort in this city closed to-day.

He Issued instructions to his captains last night, and the keepers of the establishments were given the 'tip' that this time there was to be no 'fooling. Police Commissioner Hess's term of office expired at noon to-day. Mayor Van Wyck, however, has given assurance to the friends of Mr. Hess that he will continue a member of the present board, at least for the time being. This retention of Commissioner Hess is understood to bo equivalent to an announcement from Mayor Van Wyck that he will not Interfere to bring about the retirement of Chief of Police Devery."

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE ) way. Cavalry stables are nearlng completion, the camp Is prepared for any weather with well banked tents and stoves, and the first of the cold weather finds the men very comfortable. The fearful wind and dust storms are the greatest source of discomfort, and when at their height It is practically impossible to go out of doors. The fine dust, which lies Inches deep in this dry climate, is driven In blinding, suffocating clouds, to which even the best of tents and closest of houses are not Impervious.

Camel teams ate bringing In fuel from the western hill., but the quantity is not sufficient for the extended period of cold which is now predicted. The fear of great suffering among the natives, which was expressed earlier in the season, has been partly allayed by the way In which the Chinese are resuming business. There will, of course, lio home distress, but those who have looked closely Into the situation nay lt will probably be not much greater than that which Is annually felt In the great cities. The revival of business Is especially noticeable in the American and Japanese sections. Here several large markets have Wen opened, shops are resuming business and many supplies are coming In. The American section of the Tartar City Is directly under charge of Major E. R. Robertson, of the Ninth Infantry, provost marshal, while Captain Tlllson. of the Fifteenth, is the provost marshal of the American section of the Chinese city. Major Robertson is now inaugurating a native police system, intended to be self-supporting. It Is proposed to divide the shop and budness place! Into three classes, with a smalt graded taxation. The revenue thus derlvd and arising from the provost maridiaTs lints will le used for the pay of native patrols and relief of the suffering poor.
