Dates by ov 27,000 majority. The legislature In Joint se elon had regularly counted and onnounci the result. Captain Kolb , Dates' opponer the nominee of the populists , charged frai and claimed ho had received a majority the votes cast and was the rightful heir the governor's office. Ho determined , ther fore , to bo sworn In and was. At high noon , surrounded by membe the legislature and with the usual pen of military display , Colonel Gates took t oath ot office upon the steps ot the sta capltol , standing on the very spot on whii Jefferson Davis stood when he was swo In as president of the southern confcderac Numerous threats had been made by ml guided friends of Kolb , and to avoid anythl like violence , as well as to lend a spirit the occasion , more than twenty companl ot troops with cartridges In their belts we present and participated In the inauguratl Ciremonlcs , which were without any d orderly event. At Captain Kolb's residence there w held a secret caucus of populist leaders. Gc ornor Jones did not anticipate trouble , t was prepared to stamp It out promptly , ordered the military to carry ball cartrld ; so as to bo ready for action If requestec Ho regarded the threats and mutterlngs Kolb as a bluff. As the morning wore on there appeal tp be an Increase In the number of count : men In the city.

So difficulty was experienced In getting an olll to administer the oath , two populist Jud sympathizing with the cause declining the ground that they would lose their olll by being Impeached for treason. KOLB SWORN IN. At 11 o'clock a message was received at state house that Captain Kolb had taken gubernatorial oath In a downtown office i was coming to the state house to make speech. Governor Jones Issued orders to f free access to the state house grounds as 1 as those who entered behaved In an ordc manner. Kolb was sworn In by James W.

Ho was followed by several h drcd ot his adherents. They marched the state house steps through the ranks the assembled mllltla and took their pla bcaldo the Identical portico upon which Jcf son Davis was declared president of confederate states. In a few minutes C crnor Jones sent for Captain Kolb , who escorted Into his presence by LUuton Irvvln ot the regular army. "I understand , sir , " said Governor Joi "that you propose to make a speech In tl grounds claiming to be , governor of 4 bama.

If were governor you would do the same tl In a similar case. I will not permit yoi anyone else on these grounds to Interi the Inauguration proceedings of Govei Dates. " Governor Jones' manner was courteous firm. Captain Kolb looked around at the nembled troops and with a wave ot his 1 : utarted down and out ot the grounds , folio by his adherents. They congregated agali the strsst , utstde the capltol grounds. A wagon stood near by and upon this ( tiln Kolb mounted. He slated that the ctedlngs would be opened with prayer , pppullst clergyman mounted the wagon an h.ls motion the crowd uncovered their he It was an Impressive scene. Every mat the crowd was a pUIn countryman with re clothing and high'top boots. In simple vvi the clergyman Invoked the bleulng of upon the assemblage , "a plain people , God !

C ptan ( Kolb , after a brief fntroducl Bald ; "By frauds ot the greatest chars ths title of the office has been confc Upon Colonel Gates. He Is today nd.llng suit to Injury by accepting the highest c In your gilt , well knowing It U besto upon him by the fraudulent acts ot the p officials controlling the polls , I would , deed , bo an Ingrate It I failed to protest today In behalf of two-thirds of the w voters of Alabama against such wild usurpation. "As outlined In my address tn the peopli I have taken the oath of office and bee sworn In as governor de Jure of this stato. "It IB the ballot which gives the right t the officers under the laws ot Alabama , bi that right has been suspended by false an fraudulent election returns and the right t the office of governor lias been prlnm fad conferred on Colonel Dates. I take the oat ot office simply as a. protest against usurp : tlon and fraud , and promise I will use a legal nieutiH at my command to set aside an hold for naught the fraudulent election n turns by which ho claims to bo goverm of Alabama. If a fair and honest contei law la passed by the present general nssen bly that would settle the trouble and I satisfactory to the people as well as mysel If this act of Justice Is denied us , then v\ will make an appeal to the general goven ment , confidently relying on the Justice i our cause and believing that In the end rig ! will triumph and a true republican form < government bo guaranteed to our belovc state. " Referring to Kolb's charges of 'fraud ' , Go ernor Dates , In his Inaugural , said : "It hi been claimed that frauds were committed the lust August election. I ha\e no know edge whatever ot any , and for the good nan of our state regret that such charges ha' been made. I proclaimed In my speJch during the campaign that I favored fair cle tlons , and so I do. I am satisfied beyond doubt that I was legally elected by a Ian majority or I would not accept the offic I would never assume the role of usurper the absence of a law- providing for a contei I rcgrtt tliero It not such a one. If the were frauds In the last August elections some of the counties of the black belt , charged by the defeated candidates , they a of no consequence , for , after throwing o every \ctc to which any reasonable man con possibly object , and admitting the entire vo returned for my competitor as legal , which do not , my majority would then still large. " Ho cautioned the people against vlolenc and amid rousing cheers descended from tl wagon. Kolb's place was then taken by t Crow' , from on adjacent place , who has ma desperate and bloodthirsty threats , "They call me nn anarchist In this stale said he. "If being opposed to ballot-b thieving Is anarchy , then , thank God , I t one. " He called Governor Dates' followers scou drels , and after cautioning peace called him at night every one present to meet form a company of people for the support Kolb. There were not over 300 Kolbltes the crowd , and no sign of arms among the After this speech they dispersed , but pi cecded down town where they are enllstl in Crow's company , although the latter li apparently no definite plan of action. , A b ; tery of artillery has swung into position the hill In front of the state house , and t cavalry have been withdrawn.

Emperor William has ordered that ] marks be given as a Christmas present , c of his own private funds , to each ot t sailors' and firemen's widows whoso hi bards perished by the explosion of a stet plpo on board the German Ironclad Brandt burg early In the jear. The emperor has given Gatus Groth , t poet , who Is a popular favorite with all 1 Germans , a large gold medal of art a science. On the return of the dowager Empn Frederick to this city the emperor and e press , accompanied by Prince Frederick W lam , the heir-apparent , paid her a long vi at her palace on Untcr den Linden. 1 dowager empress is showing her accustorr Interest In the affairs of art and one of 1 first visits was to the studtoa of Ascau L tcroth and Ismail Geautz , two of the leadl painters In water colors. The agrarian societies continued sendl telegrams to the emperor during the p week expressing loyalty and asking for sympathy and aid In their efforts to prom the Interests of home husbandry. A d patch from the east Prussians the empe replied to very kindly. An Interesting fact may hero bo m tloned. His majesty's racing stud at Gracl has been most successful this year. 1 horses trained won about % 53,000 In stall the thrco owners coming In next to majesty being Baron Munchausen , wh wife Is an American lady , Herr von Lai purchoff and Prince Fursterberg , their vv nlngs being about $10,000 , $35,000 and $30 , respectively. GIVING REGISTERS MUCH TROUBLI The German newspapers are making me over a curious result ot the emperor's r ductlon of "Song to Aegtcr. " It Is parently causing the registrar of birth ; deal of embarrassment , ai It transpl nearly every fat'ier desires to have his ba If a boy , named Aegler. According to 1 however , children cannot be. registered pagan names , and the officials are Inqi Ing whether they are to make an except In this case. The court chamberlain Is r corslderlng this momentous question. The fact that Princess Hohenlotie , wife the chancellor , has gene to Paris for a tl has caused much comment here. A reaction against the unmeasured cla advanced for the curative effects ot P Behrlng's diphtheria scrum Is setting rather seriously. The most significant terance In this respect was made at a mi Ing on Wednesday last of the Berlin mi cal society , when Dr. Hansemann , assist In Prof , Vlrchow's pathological Institute mouthpiece of Prof. Vlrphow himself , shai criticized In detail Prof. Behrlng's set therapeutics. He denied ttiO Ecruin Itnmun human , beings and declared no sufflcl proof had been produced respecting Its ct tlvo properties. Furthermore , Dr , Hat mann claimed the effect of serum treatir In many cases was dangerous to health even to life. The statistics thus far obti able of the result ot the serum treatm ho pronounced to be unreliable and mlsU Ing. The lecture was received with gi applause from ono part of the audience with hisses from the other part. The exl slons of the scrum treatment to other cl at home and abroad have been reported be going on steadily and the chemical wo at Hccshst , near Frankfort , where serum lu manufactured , have been enlar this week In order to meet the demands. Dr. G. F. H. Nuttal , a young Amerl physician who Is now assistant professoi the hj genlc Institute of Berlin , In view the fact his share of the discovery of serum treatment has not apparently b clearly understood , has made the follow statement to "the Associated press ; studied In I8S7 and 1888 uiidtr Prof. Flue at'firenlau aifd al GoVtlngen and while i suing experiments In the laboratories , made certain discoveries which enabled .

Th3 emperor was so agitated , s angry , that Empress Frederick , contrary t etiquette In such matters , promised to mak representations direct to her royal mother re gardlng the emperor's protest. Sir Edwar Malet , the British ambassador to Berlin , ha only arrived In England two dajs before fo a prolonged stay , but the Immediate result c the dispatch sent by Empress Frederick t Queen Victoria was that he was ordered bac to Berlin , post haste , chargej with assurance to the German emperor that the Brills policy alms at no continental alliances or Ir terference with existing alliances , but mcrel at the preservation ot peace and of the statu quo.

Provldlr the Redmondltcs attend Parliament regular the government could not long escape defeo and the liberals think it would bo the Ic ot two evils to voluntarily dissolve. The c pcctatlon in ministerial circles Is that dl solution cannot be deferred later than eprli and may bo looked for Immediately after t ] opening of Parliament.
