TRADE CLOUD ARISES.

Secretary Omge Admits that Knasla’s Action la Ominona. ▲ Washington dispatch saya that the horizon is being carefully scanned by members of the administration and of Congress for signs of an approaching trade war with Europe. The Russian retaliation is the first cloud to appear in the bright sky of our commercial prosperity, and it is feared that it will grow to such proportions ns to involve our commerce in a desperate struggle. In discussing the situation Secretary Gage, white not pessimistic, admits thnt there is gram danger of our experts beings subjected to onerous duties. The cessation of hostilities in the Philippines or in South Africa or a satisfactory solution of : the Chinese problem would, in his opin- ! ion, give renewed impetus to our export * trade. Ti(e restoration of peace in Africa and Asia would open new markets which we could dominate under existing conditions. On the other hand, however, Secretary Gage would not be surprised should the lead of-Russia, in the event it proved successful, be followed by other European nations. The inyiiediate effect of the Russian docree, when it becomes operative, will be to inereuse by 50 per cent the duties on American machinery, steel and iron goods. These goods already enjoy tw(J ; separate reductions, 30 per cent being | taken off from the general and 20 per 1 cent from the conventional duties. Thg articles referred to in the Russian decree are machinery and tools of every kind,, manufactures and products of cost iron and steel. Roughly stated, the JJnited States is said to have exported goods of j this description to Russia last year to the I amount of about $30,000,000. The addi- ! tion of 50 per cent to the duty will, it is thought, prove practically prohibitory, j— Secretary Gage is dazed at the quick action of tjjc Russian government in putting prohibitive duties on American exports, in retaliation for the increased ; duty on Russian sugar added by Mr. Gage. The Secretary expected the Russian government would submit to the duty until the Federal courts had pronounced on the question whether Russia actually pays a sugar bounty. The action taken means that the Russian government will not concern itself with a i test case nor await the issue of such a case. However, there isjm expectation ! that the American importers of Russian sugar will make the tight in their own interest.

MAY MOVE ON SIANFU.

Count von Wnidersee Plans for Renewal of War in China. Pekin advices say that a few days ago Count von YValdersee wrote to the generals under his supervision, notifying them to have all their available troops ready in two weeks for an expedition lasting eighty days. Gen. Chaffee and Gen. Yoyron, the French commander, received letters asking for their co-opera-tion and expressing a desire to know what forces they can spare. In commencing his letter to Gen. Chaffee Count von YValdersee says: "Owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the negotiations Tor peace and also to circumstances rendering such a course desirable, it will probably tie necessary to resume military operations on a large scale, especially toward the west.” Ere long an announcement is expected That t,hc destination of the proposed expedition is Sianfn. The foreign envoys be lieve its object to be to compel the Chinese to accept the terms of tl«‘ p :s. It is thought that when it becomes known thnt the expedition has started the imperial court will hasten to comply immediately with all the demands of the joint note. The military are much elated at the prospect of active service. Many believe the Chiuese army will strive to the uttermost to protect the province of Shensi against invasion. Positive orders have lieen issued from Washington to Gen. Chaffee, commanding the United States troops in China, not to take part in the proposed operations in western China by Count von Waldersee and the allied troops to intimidate the Chinese authorities. Gen. Chaffee is instructed to take no part in the contemplated expedition to Siaufu, while Minister Conger is advised by the Stave Department not to join in any agreement that makes for further hostility. A YVashington correspondent says that Count von YY’aldersee has been a thorn in the side of the peace envoys and his proposed campaign meets with vigorous objection at the national capital, which may lie communicated to the German foreign office.

EXTRA SESSION LIKELY.

Congress Will I’cobably Be Convened the Middle of Varcb. A Washington correspondent declares thin tlie Senators nu i Representatives •who have heeu insisting that there is no occasion for an ext ra session of Congress, anil that there would tie none, have been convinced that the I’rcsident, who is the. sole arbiter of this question, holds to the contrary view ami that he will cull the Fifty-seventh Congress together in extraordinary session about the middle of March. In fact, the President told some of his Congressional callers that he would in all probability call nil extra session for Ma: ’» 13, which is the same date fixed for . .ie extra session of the Fifty-fifth Congress four years ago. 1 . is customary •" allow some days’ notice by proclamation. But an unofficial intimation lias been given that Senators and Representatives may have full warning in order to arrange their personal plans. The proclamation convening the Senate in extraordinary session is issued before inauguration day. The Senate is a continuous body. If there is to be n change of President, the retiring-executive states iu the proclamation that the call is issued at tlie request of the Incoming President. A proclamation convening both Senate and House is not issued uutil the 4th of March or later. Senators and Representatives have been given to understand that the extraordinary session was certain if tlie Cuban constitutional convention finished its work before the adjournment of Congress. Tlie President regards it as absolutely necessary thnt Cuban relations receive the earliest possible consideration. In n burning house at Philadelphia, a parrwt made piteous cries. Policeman Dean ruahed through the smoke and rescued the bird, which screeched, “Let us get out of here.” „

PARLIAMENT IS OPEN.

EDWARD PRESIDES IN PERSON AT THE CEREMONY. Monarch and Consort Bide in the Stnta Coach—Spectacular Parade from the Palace to Westminster House of Lords Is Thronsed. The first Parliament of the reign of King Edward VII. was opened in London Thursday afternoon by the King in person. His majesty was accompanied by Queen Alexandra, the Duke of York and Cornwall and the Duke of Connaught and many others of the royal family. The last state ceremony of the kind took place in 1861, when Queen Victoria opened Parliament, accompanied by the prince consort, and since the death of the latter nothing equal to Thursday’s pomp has been witnessed in- London in connection with the opening of the legislature. Not since the wedding of the then Prince of Wales and Princess Alexandra has the gorgeous state coach been seen in the streets of the capital. In this coach on Thursday the King and Queen and Princess Victoria rode from Buckingham Palace to the palace at Westminster. The route of the royal party, which lay through the Mall, the horse guards’ parade, YVhite Hall and Parliament street, was guarded by 5,000 soldiers. Thousands of Londoners packed Bt. James'

park, bordered the routrT of the procession and filled windows, stands and roofs. The pageant was short, but spectacular, The procession speedily traversed the short route to an accompaniment of roars and shouts and reached the royal entrance to the palace of YY'estminster beneath 'he Victoria tower at the appointed time. Royal Flan lard Hoisted When the great gilded stale coach came In sight of the tower in YVestminster the royal standard was hoisted to the top. The state coach and those following, containing the heir and the Duchess of Cornwall and others of the royal family, passed through the great gates under the Y’ictoria tower. The sovereign and the Queen and suite passed thence to the robing room. The Duke of Devonshire, Lord President of the Council, carried the crown. The cap of maintenance was borne before King Edward on the right hand of the sword of state. Lord Salisbury walked in the procession as Lord of the Privy Seal, as the office of prime minister is not yet, according to court etiquette, recognized. King Edward’s robes were of crimson silk velvet, edged with rows of gold lace and powdered ermine. The robes of Queen Alexandra were of maetrial similar to that of the robes of the King, but the design was somewhat different. In the House of Lords wherever the eye rested its gaze there was the pomp of state. Peers and lords, correctly robed, stood in their places. The galleries were filled with diplomats of all countries represented at St. James’ and their wives and entourage. It was a scene of'splendid color and tinsel, such as one can hope to see but once in a lifetime. YY’hen the King and Queen had seated themselves on the throne the King ordered the Blnck Rod to summon the Commons. On the arrival of the members of the House of Commons in the House of Lords the King read his speech. The opening of the first Parliament of the new reign witnessed the usual competition on the part of members of the House of Commons to secure seats. At 10:30 o'clock a detachment of yoomon of the guard-.from the in tiicir quainr new uniforms and carrying hallherds, arrived and conducted the customary search of the vaults for imaginary conspirators, with the usual result.

GUNBOAT TO VENEZUELA.

United States Orders the Scorpion to La Guira. A Washington correspondent says that the gunboat Scorpion has been ordered to La Guira, the order emphasizing the fear of the State Department and Navy Department that there will be serious trouble in Venezuela, notwithstanding all the protestations of the litigant asphalt companies that the issues will he met iu an orderly manner. The presence of the Scorpiou in Venezuelan waters will give the United States u squadron to rail upon in case of emergency, us the Lancaster is absent only temporarily at Santa Lucia and the Dixie is on the way from that place to La Guira. While the departments are not willing to explain the real reason of this assemblage of warships off Venezuela, it is obvious that they are to be used to prevent filibustering expeditions, such as have been reported, in the interest of the asphalt trust. The Scorpion has been on surveying duty, which has not been finished, in and around the Orinoco river, and her sudden movement to Venezuela can he connected only with the belief in official circles that a large American force is absolutely necessary off Venezuela. Physical intervention by tha United Btatea la certain to take place if there la a conflict *bet Ween the employee of the New York and Bermudea Company and the militia of Bermudea Province, in which the aaphalt territory lies. .

INDIANA LAWMAKERS

The House on Thursday kilted Mr. Slack’s anti-trust bill and the Senate bill to limit subsidies dtt aid of railroads. The lower house of the General Assembly on Friday killed the $50,000 appropriation for the pan-Ameriean exposition. A favorable report had been made to the House by the committee. The House also passed a bill compelliug all railroads to issue mileage books containing 500 mites of transportation for $lO. Any member of the purchaser’s family may use the book. On Monday the Senate passed the game law. Senator Lindley’s bill makes it.lawful to hunt in swamp and overflow lands without the consent of the owner, when such lands are uncultivated, but the hunter may not hunt within forty rods of cultivated lands. This will throw open the game preserves of the Chicago clubs. It is also made unlawful to kill more than twenty-four quail in one day. The closed season for wild geese and ducks is from April 13 to Sept. 1, and from Oct. Ito Nov. 10. The House committee will recommend favorably the bill which has passed the Senate providing , for the Calumet river ship canal. The area to be assessed, however, will be limited to a mile and a half on each side of the canal. A bill wns introduced in the House providing for the incorporation of navigation companies and taxing all shipping in the State, This will affect all Clrleago Tesrselr totrehing Miebigirn CMtjv These companies must pay to tlie State annually three cents a ton of the registered tonnage of all vessels engaged in commerce with Indiana ports. The Senate on Tuesday gave a second blow to faith-curists and Dowieites by voting to accept a favorable report on Senator YVood’s bill requiring believers in faith cure to cail medical aid in the illness of children and dependents. The bill makes it a felony to withhold medical ~stjd from children and other dependents when such dependents die for the lack of medical aid. The bill was reported favorably after a hot argument in the Senate. The House passed the Cooper anti-trust bill. It is regarded as a harmless measure and is not nearly so drastic as Senator Agnew’s btti. The 1 louse killed the bill appropriating $120,000 for the payment of the claim of Y'ineennes University based on the sale by the State of certain lauds ceded by the United States 1 government for university purposes. The House on YY'ednesday passed the bill which provides for a special tax of 1 cent on each SIOO of property for the support of free kindergartens. The bill applies to ail cities of the Stale having a.population of 8,000. The bill establishing hoards of children’s guardians was also passed. The congressional renppor tionment bill, which makes Marion Conn 1 ty a separate district, was also passed, j It strengthens some of the Republican districts, but does not make any radical changes, and four districts are left to the Democrats as at present. The bill authorizing the const ruction of a ship canal from Lake Michigan to the Calumet river will he reported favorably in the House, ; as the result of a final meeting of the cities and towns committee. There will probably he a minority report also. The State is not asked to donate for the work, assessments for benefits being made against the property one and a -half miles on each side of the canal.
