Berlin, Germany. Feb. 8. Emperor William opened the thirteenth reichtag which has assembled since the foundation of the German empire. As Is customary, instead of going to the imperial parliament, the emperor called the members to the palace, "where hp made bis speech i'rom the throne to the great white hall. The deputies present were for the most part in uniform or court dress and the scene was brilliant, but no representative of the social democratic party, comprising over one-fourth of the membership of the house, put in an appearance.

Lorlmer committee in executive session-put J.- B. Sheridan, the detective-
stenographer, who has figured in the charges of perjury against Charles McGowan, a Hines-Lorimer witness, to a
test of his ability to record conversations over an electrical apparatus,
while concealed from the speakers.
Immediately after the test Sheridan
was put in the witness chair and had no difficulty in reading his notes. There were frequent breaks, but it was said they represented parts of sentences which he did not record be
cause he had been instructed to take only conversation relating to the Lori-
mer case.
A little table with an open note
book and a Bible upon it had been
made ready for the demonstration. Sheridan swore before the committee that he had made a shorthand report of a conversation in Toronto on January 6, when McGowan admitted receiving money from C. F. Wiehe for "perjuring" himself in giving testimony for Senator Lrorimer The charge was made that Sheridan's notes were "faked," and that he could not make such a shorthand report as he claimed he had made at Toronto.
Conditions in the hotel rooms at Toronto in which McGowan met the detectives were reproduced as nearly
as possible in Senator Dillingham's of

nii'o trial fnr p.nntemnt of court, in
which he was involved with Samuel Gompers and Frank Morrison, officials of the American Federation of Labor, in connection with the Buck's Stove and Range boycott case, took on a dramatic touch at the hearing. Mitchell had seemed to be criticising Justice Wright, before whom he is on trial, and the justice had displayed some impatience with his critic. "Let me explain this," said Mitchell. "I have much in my heart, which I never have said, which has, perhaps, no place in these proceedings. When I was summoned to Washington to appear before this court for judgment I faced a long term in prison. Day Before Christmas Eve. " "It was the day before Christmas eve. I was living in New York.

Belfast, Ireland, Feb. 9. Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, the chief figure in the home rule demonstration, arrived here with his wife at the central station and had a somewhat mixed reception. A number of orangemen who had gathered at the station greeted him with groans and boos, but these were drowned in the hearty cheers of the crowd of liberals and nationalists. There was no disturbance at that hour, and the large force of police on duty in the station had an easy task. Detachments of police have been posted everywhere, and the troops are held in readiness in their quarters. Crowd Threatens Churchill's Car. Matters oloked ugly for a moment
when Mr. and Mrs. Churchill started for the place where the meeting is to be held. A large crowd which had gathered outside the hotel appeared inclined to rush Mr. Churchill's motor
car, and tried to block its passage, but escorting cars packed with detectives
succeeded in working a way througn
the groaning throng and got the Churchills safely away. In the course of the morning a crowd of unionists -paraded the streets carrying an effigy of Mr. Churchill to which was attached a placard bearing the words: "Down with Church
ill!" "No home rule!" Tney proceeded to the hotel at which Mr and Mrs. Churchill are staying and sang the national anthem, after which they dispersed without disorder. Inside the marquee effigies bearing the labels "Carson and LondonderryTurncoats and Traitors," swayed from poles. Rousing Reception by 6,000. Mr. Churchill was greeted with a rousing reception from the 6,000 people gathered within the tent, whose enthusiasm not even the depressing surroundings were able to quench While rain poured through a canvas a band played popular airs, mingled with the Irish melodies "The Wearing of the Green" and "The Boys of Wexford." Mr. Churchill immediately got on
good terms with hla audience, promising that the government intended to pass a home rule bill which would be harmonious with imperial interests.

Chicago, Feb. 10. Amplification of rumors of graft in connection with
the construction of the Chicago, Milwaukee ai.d Puget Sound railroad was made here, though the mysterious suits, declared by rumor to be filed within twenty-four hours, were not forthcoming. The name of the Beaver Dam Malleable Iron company was dragged into the affair when it was charged that contracts for tie plates and various varieties of iron specialties were received by that company, of which Lawrence Fitch, son-in-law of President A. J. Earling, is vice-president. President Earling declared, however, that the contracts were let to the Beaver Dam company only after bitter competition. He declared also that, so far as was possible, his railroad purchased supplies from plants located along the lines of construction. He declared he could not estimate the amounts in dollars and cents of the various contracts let to his son-in-law's concern. President Earling urged that Mr.
