There were two false alarms of fire turn
ed in Saturday and the police are looking
for the violator of the law. One alarm was
sounded before daybreak and the other
about 8 o'clocif at night. The glass in the
box at 1st and I streets southeast was also
broken, but it is believed the miscreant
was frightened away by Policeman Payne
before he turned the key.
A local alarm of fire ias received from
the house of Dr. L. M. Tay r, No. 121 Massa,

SEARCH O T BErEATERS
No Oppositior to the Re-Election
of Speaker Gully.
IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS
LONDON, December 3.-The opening of
the Initial session of the fifteenth parlia
ment of Queen Victoria occurred at 2
o'clock this afternoon. It was a formal af
fair and of little public interest. A small
crowd assembled to see the Beefeaters. who
carried. out the usual search for possible
conspirators in the vaults beneath the
houses of parliament, with the custdmary
ceremonial, and with the customary zzsult.
There was likewise the usual competition
of zealous members of parliament to be first
on the. scene, and J. C. McDona, conserva
tive, member for the Rotherhithe division
of Southwark, easily secured the choice of
seats, arriving in the house ~at midnight.
Although the only business before the ]
house was the election of a speaker, the at
tendance of members was good, in spite of
the absence of the Irish members. Mr. Bal
four, the government leader in the house
and first lord of the treasury, and Mr.
Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the
colonies, arrived promptly at 2 o'clock and
were cordially welcomed by their support
ers. Sir William Vernon-Harcourt and Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the liberal
leader in the house, were similarly greeted
from the opposition benches.
No Opposition to Mr. Gully.
General Sir Michael Uliddulph, the gentle
man usher of the Black .od, appeared a
few minutes later and summoned the mem
bers to the upper house to hear the read
ing of the queen's commission, directing the
election of a speaker. There was no oppo
sition to the re-election of Win. Court Gully
for a third term. Congratulatory speeches
followed.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be malply
devoted to swearing in members. The real
work of the ression will begin Thursday,
with the reading of the queen's speech and
the debates on the reply to the address
from the throne in both houses.
The house of commons adjourned until
2:45 p.m. tomorrow.
In thi House of Lords.
Only a han'Iful of persons attended the
opening of the house of lords, the dusky
surroundings of which, : however, were
brightened by the presence of a number of
ladies. The lord chancellor, the Earl Of
Halsbury, promptly dispatched the Black
Rod to summon the commons. On their ar
rival the royal commission was read and
the lord chati.elor directed the commons
to return to the house and elect a speaker.
When this brief ceremony was over the
house of lords suspended business.
MAYOR GIVES..HIS VIEWS.
Resolution by .Poliel Commissioners
Affecting His Authority.
. Rvsning Star Bureau,
No. 101 King St.,
Bell Telephone No. 106,
ALEXANDRIA, Va., December 3, 1900.
The rules adopted at, the last meeting of
the board of poli-e commissioners, directing
Mayor Simpson 'to trahanit his orders to
the police force through the captain, lieu
tenant or sergealti. were read to the -po
licemen this. mo*rAng for- the first time.
When the men,p assemble,in the mayor's
office for the 6 o,clock relief Ohey were ad
dressed by Chief Websterj.*ho stated that
he was required byr the bodrd to acquaint
them with its action. lie then read the
resolution, with amendments, as finally
adopted.
In commenting on the matter this morn
ing, Mayor Simpson said that after all the
commissioners had practically abandoned the
ground they had taken in the origi res
olution. He. referred .to the amendr' of
that portion .irectlag the mayor to give his
orders through the chief, which was condi
tioned by the following clause, "Unless in
case of necessity, demanding instant ac
tion on the spot." fn his opinion this
amendment grzatly reduced the force of the
ruling and rendered it vague and Intangible.
He thought that the question would natu
rally arise as to whether the case, which
mnght be involved, was one of necessity,
and who, he asked, was to be the judge of
such matters?
Mayor Simpson alluded to the controversy
between the board of police commissioners
and Mayor Thompson several yearn ago.
The questions involved, he remarked, were
:-ery different from those now attracting at
tention, but he said Judge Keith of the
co.urt of appeals. in passing upon the- case,
expounded the relative authority of the
mayor and commissioners. He quoted from
iudge Keith's dec'sion, in part, as follows:
"1 have been unable to find any provision
in the city charter which prescribes It as aI
specific duty resting upon the mayor to re
port to the board of police commissioners
in ti event of his finding it necessary to
suspend any member of the police force.
Ihave no hesitation In saying that to do soI
would be within the scope of his general
duty to see that the laws are fully exe
cuted, and, with that object in view, to act
in accord with the other officers of the(
city.".
This. the mayor said, clearly outlined the
position of the mayor as executive head of
the city, and therefore in sole control of
the police force, as the law specifically stip
ulates. He declared the commissioners act
ed as though he were a member of the po-t
lice forca, as well as being its director', and
therefore subject to theIr control. The de
cision of Judge Keith, from which the
above quotation is taken, stated:
"He (the mayor) 1s * clothed with
the duty and authority .to take the initial a
step in investigating any actual or sup
->osed misconduct upon the part of any
member of the'-police force."
Mayor Simpson stated this morning that
he had not yet signed the resolution adopt- t
ed at the last :meeting of the city council e
permitting the Washington, Alexandria and
Mount Vernon railroad to supply city mer
chants with electric power for illuminating
purposes during December. He said the 2
statement that he intended to veto the bill,
which appeared in The Star, was correct, t
but that since that time Jte had been ap
proached by meqgbers of council who had t
promised to arrange.- the matter so that it
would meet with alis -approval. He said he t
wou. - approve ther resolution if thes tp
were taken. es ttp

ALRCTION. =
Perry Heath Says That New Eater
prisen Are Being Started and Fresh
Capital Put In Old One&.
Secretary Perry S. Heath of the repub
lean national committee, former First As
listant Postmaster General, has returned to
he city, and was this morning found by a
star reporter superintending the opening of
:ommittee headquarters at the northeast
:orner of Vermont avenue and H street. He
.ame to Washington directly from Utah,
rhere he is interested in the construction
of a railroad, with Senator Clark of Mon
ana and California and St. Louis capital
siu.
"I know very little about political af
airs occzrring since the election," said
;ecretary Heath to a Star reporter. "There
s great rejoicing out in the far west over
he result of the election. You can actually
lee it upon the faces of the people. I
cnow of no state which will derive greater
>enefit than Utah. Every one is taking on
iew spirit, and investing in enterprises.
L'here will be a wonderful development in
Jtah, and Salt Lake City, in my opinion,
vill double !n population during the com
ng five years, while the state will treble
n wealth before another presidential elec
:ion. Utah is republican reliably in future
eiections. She knows what it means to
!ave democratic free trade or low tariffs
ond the menace of a free silver currency."
"How about Nebraska?"
Rejoicing In Nebraska.
"I was there but a short time; but every
nan I met in each place I stopped wore a
oroad grin," replied-Mr. Heath. "The men
who went astray for Bryan volunteered the
>romise that they had hired barbers, and
hat no more would they be found among
he 'grass-eaters.' There is more rejoicing
n Nebraska than any place I visited. And
when you find a people redeeming a state
Lfter the experience of those in Nebraska
rou can set them down as the best of
sound-government citizens. They will give
he country two substantial United States
ienators of the pure republican type. By
he way, I heard many compliments for
;enator Thurston while passing through
he state, and regrets that he had deter
nined to retire to private life. All ex
)ressed the opinion that he could be re
!lected if he would but be willing to serve.
'Zo, I have no idea who will be elected.
Ed1tor Rosewater of the Omaha Bee has a
trong and reliable following, and Represen
.ative Mercer and Assistant Secretary of
Arar Meicklejohn, both strong and experi
nced men, are very promising aspirants. A
iozen men are mentioned, and good ones
vill no doubt be chosen.
Good Spirits of the People.
"But.the cheerfulness and hopefulness of
he people," continued Mr. Heath, "at
racted my attention and interested me
nost, if for no other reason, because I have
iad a surfeit of politics during the past
our or five months. I have been gorged
vith politics. Men and women everywhere
Lre arranging to open new businesses, en
arge old interests and develop commerce
Lnd manufactures. It would seem that
here would be a glut in the market, but
Lil reported a far greater demand than the
upply. Every article entering into build
ng of every description is in tremendous
lemand, the supply being from six months
o two years in arrears. I met an agent
or a car works who stated that his firm
oad fifteen thousand cars on their books.
knother manufacturer said he could-take
ko orders except those subject to the firm's
>wn option. There is great demand for
abor of all kinds, and now wages will be
ncreased gradually, but certainly, and for
his I ardently wish. Labor should and
vill have its share of the prosperity. No
'resident ever had so many personal as
vell as official friends as President McKin
ey. While it is true that he has had be
kind hijn a republican Congress, the peo
ole realize that it has Neen his leadership
hat has given us so many good laws and
iuch universal prosperity. I believe that
f another election were to be held next
week President McKinley's majority would
e vastly increased over that of last month,
or the peOple now see, clearer than ever,
hat he makes good not only his promises,
out all of those of his party."

WII HOUT REPRESENTATION
BAY STATE'S ORATOR FOR CENTEN
NIAL EXERCISES ILL OF FEVER.
Local Committee Hastening Arrange
mnents-Conference Held Today
With Senator Frye.
A week from Wednesday the celebration
of the centennial of the removal of the seat
of government to the District will be cele
brated. The nearness of this date Is evi
denced at the headquarters of the citizens'
committee In charge of the arrangements,
1225 Pennsylvania avenue, where the quiet
of the working hours of the day is now
broken by the hum of conversation of vis
itors and members of the committee. The
callers at headquarters are increasing in
number, and Mr. Cox and Mr. Van Wickle
and the corps of clerks are, if possible,
busier than ever. The work of prepara
tion is reaching a satisfactory state of com
pleteness, and when, the 12th of Decem
ber. the program of celebration shall be
carried out, it is believed it will be to the
satisfaction of all concerned..
It is probable that the state of Massachu
setts will not be represented among those
whose voices will .be heard on this occa
sion. A letter has been received from Mrs.
Wolcott, the wife of ex-Governor Wolcott,
in which she states that the illness of
her husband has developed typhoid fever
symptoms, and that, therefore, it will be
useless to expect him to be in Washington
to deliver an address at the White House
on the development of the nation during
the century just closing. Unless some other
representative of the old bay state shall
take the place so unexpectedly vacated,
that part of the program will have to be
omitted, and Massachusetts. whose distin
guished son flled the presidential chair in
1800, will be unrepresented in the annives-~
ary celebration.
Conference Today.
A conference was held this afternoon by
representativea of the citizens' committee
and of the two committees of the House
and Senate with Senator Frye, the presi
dent of the Senate, in gegard to the joint
resolution providing for the exercises at the
Capitol.
The centennial medals will be shipped
from Philadelphia today and will be reaLdy
for distribution tomorrow. They will be
given out to those holding receIpts upon pre
senting the latter at the desk on the first
floor of the headquarters building, 1221
Pennsylvnia avenue, from 12 to 6 o'clock.
Governors Frank Steuaenberg of Idaho,
H. M. Wells of Otah and ex-Gov. Lowndes
of maryland have notified the committee
that they will attend the celebration.
A letter- has been received from Gov. J.
Hoge- Tyler of Virginia stating that he will
leave Ricsseem with his stat the evening
of the 11th instant, and that the 1t~h

the purpose of examining the replies
and formulating a statement in ac

in Philadelphia the third Thursday of May,

the question will be conducted at that time.
