Barring Out Japanese. { Advices from Honolulu say that serious trouble is anticipated there over the re­ fusal of the customs authorities to permit the lauding of 937 Japanese laborers brought there recently by the Kobe Immi- igration Company. The agents of the Jap- ianese ^ompany have'been placed under iarrest, charged with a violation of the im­ migration laws, and Captain Mishakima, iCommahder of the steamer, has been re­ fused-clearance .papers vinless he agrees to jtake back to Japan the rejected immi- •grants, who have been detained at quar­ antine station since their arrival in Jrhe rejected Japanese threaten open re-; 'volt, and they have the Sympathy of trie •entire Japanese population of the island. iTfce matter has been carried into the •courts, and if the Japs fail to find relief ithere they will probably appeal to their 'consul. In case the eohsul does not inter-' ifere trouble is sufe to follow. .The ciis- ' toms authorities are sure that they have unearthed a gigantic attempt, to- import Japanese into the country in violation of the immigration laws, and they propose to make it so warm for the schemers th.it «they will.not dare to attempt it again. The [feeling runs equally strong against the Anglo-Saxons of Honolulu. ^ P-? * Nominated by McKinley. ! President McKinley has sent to the Senate the following nominations: State- Powell Clayton of Arkansas, to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipoten­ tiary of the United States to Mexico; Wil- :11am M. Osborne of Massachusetts, consul general of the United States at London; John K. Gowdy of Indiana, consul gen­ eral Of the United States at Paris; John H. Brigham of Ohio, to be assistant Sec­ retary of Agriculture; Perry S. Heath of Indiana, to be first assistant Postmaster General. War--Captain Charles Shaler, ordnance department, to be major; Henry L. Marindin (assistant in United States coast and geodetic,survey), to be a member of the Mississippi river commission. In­ terior--Sylvester Peterson of Minneapolis, to be register of the land office at Crooks- ton, Minn. Greek Transport Sunk. A dispatch from Canea, Island of Crete, says: The Austrian gunboat Zebnico has fired upon and sunk, near Candia, a Greek vessel loaded with provisions and munitions which were intended for the Greek forces in Crete. It appears that the Zebnico, while watehing the Greek ship, was fired on by a party of insur­ gents. To this the Austrian warship re­ plied by sinking the Greek craft and driv­ ing off the insurgents. It is feared that when this news becomes generally known in Athens it will serve to greatly irritate the populace and may have influence in precipitating the crisis which the powers are striving in every way possible to avert. Several French and Italian staff officers have been sent to Col. Yassas to notify him of the blockade of the island. Bloody Deed of a Kansas Man. "William Fees, a farmer living five miles West of Wamego, Kan., blew out his brains Wednesday night after attempting to exterminate a whole family. Three of his victims will probably die and a fourth is terribly wounded. Fees' wife recently left him and returned to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. H Johnson. Af­ ter she had positively refused to return to him Fees went to the house and shot down his wife and her mother and his sister-in-law, Miss Johnson, and his wife's father. None of the three women can recover, and it is doubtful whether Mr. Johnson will live. Fees then returned to his own home and killed himself. Thief's Haul of Diamonds. A tray containing about ?3,500 worth of diamond rings was stolen at Spokane, Wash., from the jewelry store of I. Dorn- berg, situated on a popular thoroughfare, and at a time when the sidewalks were lined with pedestrians. A well-dressed man entered the store and asked to be shown some diamond rings. "Max Gold­ stein, a clerk, who was in charge of the store at the time, brought out a tray from the safe. As he placed it on the show- ease he was blinded by a handful of pow­ der thrown into his face. The robber grabbed the tray of rings and hurried out and, despite Goldstein's cries, escaped with his booty. NEWS NUGGETS.

Spectators who thronged the natrrow streets in the vicinity from 0:45 to 10 o'clock were treated to a fusillade of small explosions, due to the bursting of thousands of cans of preserved fruits. The losses by' fire are approximately as follows: John A.

Frank Butler, alias Ashe, alias New­ man, now at San Francisco, the accused murderer of Captain Lee Weller, Arthur Preston and Charles Burgess, has decided to give up his fight against the efforts of Australian police to secure his extradi­ tion from this country. He gives as his reasons for this action that he has no hope that the United States Supreme Court will reverse District Judge Morrow, and he cannot stand the cost of carrying the mat­ ter to the court of last resort. Butler says that ultimately he will have to go on trial for his life, and the sooner the thing is over the better it will be for him. He will go back and face his accusers and depend upon the loopholes of the Australian crim­ inal laws for his escape from the gallows. The decision of the District Court of Utah was upheld by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Louis, in the case of W. S. McCormick vs. the Western Union Telegraph Company. The plaintiffs a banker and advanced a loan of $7,500 to George L. Fink on a telegTam from D. E. Soule. The message should have read $2,500. Fink soon after be­ came insolvent and Soule refused to pay more than $2,500 on the draft. The tele­ graph company was sued for the balance of the^sum advanced. The Court of Ap­ peals held the telegraph company could not be liable to a stranger to the company and one to whom the telegram was never delivered, and to whom it owed no duty, merely because lie has seen the message and acted upon it to his injury. Bertha and Annie Bertz, sisters, aged respectively 25 and 19 years, became sud­ denly and violently insane Friday morn­ ing at the house of J. J. Wilson, No. 4519 Oakenwald avenue, Chicago. The cause of their affliction is wrapped n mystery. The young women were pas­ sionately fond of each other, spending as much time together as their different em­ ployments would admit. Annie, the younger sister, was seized first with a paroxysm of mania, and the marked in­ fluence of her sister over her being known to Mrs. Wilson, in whose employment Annie was, Bertha was sent for at once. At the sight of her sister's trouble she became violently agitated, and both sis­ ters were soon raving and uncontrollable, finally it became necessary to send for the patrol wagon and have them removed to the detention hospital. The Missouri Pacific passenger train, north bound, which left Kansas City, Mo., at 9:15 o'clock Sunday night, was wrecked at Wolf Creek, Ivan., one and one-half miles east of Hiawatha, at midnight by running into a bunch of horses.

Bacon, Kansas The President Tuesday sent to the Sen­ ate the names of John Hay of the Dis­ trict of Columbia for ambassador extra­ ordinary and plenipotentiary of the Uni­ ted States to Great Britain and General Horace Porter of New York for United States ambassador to France. Henry White of Rhode Islaijd was nominated for secretary of the embassy of the United States to Great Britain. The, special session of Congress began Monday at Washington. The organiza­ tion of the House was effected by the re­ election of Speaker. Reed arid the choice of the same old list of general-officers, and the Senate got itself in working order without apy trouble whatever. The gen­ eral belief is that the House committees will be named very slowly, and only as the Speaker finds himself obliged to do so by the pressure for the enactment of legisla­ tion. As is usnally the case at the open­ ing of a Congress, the galleries of both House and Senate were crowded to their utmost capacity, and hundreds and thou­ sands who neglected to provide themselves with tickets or were unable to secure one of the coveted pasteboards were turned away by the doorkeepers, whose instruc­ tions were ironclad to admit only those who were entitled to seats. Secretary Sherman, in the course of the last debate on the Nicaragua canal in the Senate, said: "I would be very glad to see another treaty made between Nicaragua and the. United States which would pro­ vide for the completion of the canal." As Secretary of State he is now in a position to go about this matter actively, and is understood to have already taken it up. He is said to contemplate negotiations for treaty with the five States composing the Greater Central American republic along the lines of the celebrated Frelingliuysen- Zavala treaty, which in effect established an American protectorate over Nicaragua and committed the Government to the con­ struction of the waterway. This treaty was pending when: Mr. Cleveland went into the White House twelve years ago. About the first thing the latter did was to withdraw the agreement between the two countries, his ground for so doing being that the treaty, if carried into effect, would be a perpetual menace to the na­ tion's peace and jyould provoke endless complications witlrother countries. It is now said to be Secretary Sherman's pur­ pose to resurrect the Freliughuysen-Za- vala treaty and frame a new agreement embodying many of its salient features. EASTERN. m The cloth weavers employed in John and James Dobson's big mill, at Philadel­ phia, who struck about ten days ago, be­ cause of a 10 per cent, reduction, returned to work Tuesday, a satisfactory agree­ ment having been reached with Mr. Dob- son.

Two other passengers, names unknown, were badly bruised. The train consisted of en­ gine, baggage and two chair cars and one sleeper, and carried a light load. All ex­ cept the sleeper were overturned. The engine turned over on Engineer Nye and Fireman Connor and crushed them to death. The passengers managed to es­ cape with comparative ease, but it was some time before aid from Hiawatha was received for the injured. Engineer Nye was one of the oldest engineers in the service, having been on the road for four­ teen years. SOUTHERN. .Judge Goff has appointed Z. T. Vinson receiver for U. B. Buskirk, merchant and timberman of Logan, W. Va. Assets $125,000; liabilities unknown. This is result of the recent failure of the Sliger Lumber and Manufacturing Company. At Dover, capital of Stewart County Tenn., the jail was destroyed by fire early Monday morning. Four prisoners, one white man and three negroes, were the only occupants of the building at the time. The white man escaped, but the three ne­ groes were so badly burned that there is uo trace of their bodies. Nearly two thousand homeless and half- starved persons, rescued from the over­ flowed districts of Eastern Arkansas, are being cured fer in Memphis, Teun. The citizens' relief commission U practically baoked by unlimited capital, merchants, bankers and corporations^ring subscrib­ ed great sum* of ^aotvey"to*prosecute the work, of rescuing the inhabitants of the territory forty miles north and an equal distance»south of Memphis. The first lees 9i Bfe has been reported, e vftiole FORE1GK. It is officially announced at Rome that the result of the conference of the powers Sunday is a definite agreement not to re« ply to the Greek note, but to issue orders ro the foreign admirals to establish an Immediate blockade of Cretan ports. This was the view of Russia at the outset. Havana dispatch: Tuesday the town of Bejucal, one of the most strongly for­ tified places in the province, was entered by 500 Cubans, who drove the Spanish garrison of 000 men into the two forts and for half an hour exchanged shots at long distance. Finding that the Spanish garrison would not venture out upon an attack the insurgents looted the place at their leisure. Two hundred and fifty dwellings and seven stores were burned. The insurgents carried off a quantity of ammunition and provisions. The town of Quillan has been captured by a detach­ ment commanded by either Castillo or Arango. The garrison of 300 Spanish troops retreated on the appearance of the insurgents. The news of Spanish reverses in the Philippines, and the repulse of Polavieja before Cavite and his resignation in front of the enemy, added, if that were pos­ sible, to the gloom and depression that prevails in official circles in Havana. Now it is understood why Gen. Weyler receiv­ ed telegraphic instructions on the 9th inst. not to embark on the 10th. Primo de Rivera, who was to have succeeded him in the hopeless task of subduing Cuba, is designated for the supreme com­ mand in the Philippines. Six thousand troops that were to have sailed from Cadiz for Havana this week will be sent to Manila, and General Weyler has been asked to^send as many troops as he can spare to Spain. These 0,000 recruits were raised by offers of bounty, as in the present state of public opinion in Spain it was not deemed safe to exercise tfie draft. General Weyler has stated that he can only spare 10,000 men, and these will shortly be embarked for the penin­ sula in the guise of invalids and men whose time has expired. * MARKET REPORTS.

' Foneht Fourteen Rounds. . Robert Fitzsimmons defeated. Jaines J. Corbett in the fourteenth round in the contest at Carson City, Ney„ for the pu­ gilistic championship of the world. The decisive blow was a left, swing 011 the pit. of Corbett's stomach. He fell on his facejn the center of the ring and was un­ able to regain his feet in the specified ten seconds. The Californian seemed to have a shade the better of the battle up to the last round. He had FitzSinirmms weak in the sixth round, but failed to finish him. Four thousand people were present. The day was clear and beautiful and just right for the kinetoscope. The result of the battle came like a bolt of lightning to Corbett's friends, who deemed him literally invincible. The kinetoscope should net $100,000 to each pugilist, in addition to which Fitzsimmons receives the purse of $10,000 and" Cor­ bett's side bet of $5,000. There were about twenty women present. Fitzsim­ mons weighed 107 and Corbett 183 pounds. Time was called at 12:07. The lanky pugilist refused to shake hands with Cor­ bett. The opening sparring was cautious, but the Cornishihan soon began to force Corbett, trying a left swing. For thirteen rounds the two men sway­ ed and shifted pythonlike around the white rosined floor, watching each other like two great eagles. Then the bell clang­ ed for the fourteenth, and up they came again, light-footed, wary and aggressive. Fitzsimmons was bleeding badly at the mouth. Four thousand spectators roared around the ringside like a troop of lions. Hundreds of men became hoarse and hys­ terical with howling. A dozen more women sat shivering and pale-faced with excitement in the rear* seats. All but one. The wife of the tall Australian sat directly behind his chair, near the corner, and to one side of his throng of seconds, who fanned and rubbed their man between rounds throughout the battle. Mrs. Fitzsimmons was also pale-faced, but she sat Spartan­ like behind her husband. Every time the bell ended a round she arose to her feet and spoke encouragingly-to her panting husband preparing himself for the next round. There is another panting man op­ posite, but he bore no visible marks of the punishment he had undergone. Fitzsimmons' small, ferrety eyes twin­ kled in his pink and apelike face like little bits of shiny glass as he swayed up to Corbett for the final round. Champion Is Fallen. Corbett darted forward and drove his long left in Fitzsimmons' stomach. The latter grunted and swung back with three hard raps on the Californian's jaw. The finish followed, like a thunderbolt. Fitz­ simmons sprang forward with a great right-handed smash over Corbett's heart. The blow would have finished an ordi­ nary man. It only staggered the tremen­ dously muscular fighter. That momen­ tary stagger, however, was snflieient. Fitzsimmons rushed in with* a left flush in the pit of the Californian's stomach. Down went the big fellow on all fours, like a stricken beef. All his grand strength had vanished. Fitzsimmons, with his face still contorted in that red and featureless smile, stepped away at the order of4 the referee, who sprang be­ tween them. With a roar like that of a whirlwind 4,000 spectators sprang to their feet, turning over chairs, crashing over boxes and pouring flood-like down the yellow pine slope stoward the ringside. It is estimated that not less than $500,- 000 changed hands all over the country on the result of the fight. Most of this money was wagered at Carson City, New York and San Francisco. Corbett wagered nearly $5,000 on himself in addition to the stake of $10,000 a side. Fitzsimmons did not bet any money, for the reason that lie had none to bet. His stake money, even, was deposited by two New York and one Detroit sporting men.. Martin Julian, his manager, is financially as bad off as his brother-in-law. The fight was for a purse of $15,000 and a wager of $10,000 a side, the winner to take all. It was announced for the cham­ pionship of the world, but as the cham­ pionship of the world has never been tech­ nically held by one man, the title is not generally looked upon as settled by the fight I TOMB OF GENEBAI, GRANT. Governor of every State in the Union, the representatives of every foreigxi nation at Washington, the United States Senate, the House of Representatives, the State Legislatures and the heads of- the prin­ cipal public organizations of every char­ acter in the United States will participate in the dedicatory ceremonies. The Fed­ eral troops, the National Guard from a seore of States, the North Atlantic Squad­ ron, together with many vessels from the navies of foreign nations, will join in the demonstration. Already those in charge feel safe in predicting that more than 250,000 men, including thousands of sol­ diers who followed Grant to victory thirty- two years ago, will seek places, in the parade. The new Grant tomb has been erected at a cost of $000,000. It faces to the south, and stands directly in front of the temporary brick tomb in which the re- inain^of Gen. Grant were placed nearly twelve years ago. The new structure is of granite, so light in tone that, in a strong sunlight, it is not distinguishable from marble. Architecturally it presents the features of treatment found in the Pantheon in Rome and in the tomb of Na­ poleon at Les Invalides, Paris. The struc­ ture, it is declared by critics, will bear favorable comparison with the tombhouse of Napoleon or that of any other modern warrior or statesman. FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO. Carter Harrison II. Is the Candidate on the Democratic Ticket. Carter Harrison, the Democratic nom­ inee for Mayor of Chicago, is 37 years old. Presented McKinley with the Bible "on. Which He Took the Oath. Bishop B. W. Arnett of Wiiberforce College, Ohio, who presented President McKinley with the beautiful morocco bound Bible which he kissed on taking the oath of office, is one of the leading lights of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in America. The bishop's son, Henry Y. Arnett, took a leading part in the late campaign. He was chairman of the Afro-American League of Ohio, and did splendid work among the colored peo­ ple of his State. The, Bible was given to President McKinley by the Afro-Ameri­ cans, of Ohio. It is bound in crushed blue leather, the covers lined with satin and the edges gilded. There is a gold plate on the first cover with an appropriate in­ scription. The book was opened, and as the new President kissed it his lips met this verse: "Give me now wisdomnnd knowledge,- that I may go out aud come in befor^this people; for who can judge this, ^hv people, that is so great?": It is the tbnt^L.verso of the first chapter of Second Citronicli's^and contained," certainly, a very fitting sentiment for the occasion. The voluirie was' opened by Clerk McKen- .ney without reference to any especial place, and the providential or accidental selection of the verse in question was as happy as any that ever befell Haroun nl Itaschid and his Koran. It is the custom for the Supreme Court to furnish the Bible for the presidential swearing in, and this Bible and the one used by ex-President Cleveland have been the only exceptions BISHOP B. W. ARNETT. to rule. The little red Bible used by Mr. Cleveland was given him by his mother when he was a boy. The book used by President McKinley will be valuable to him as a souvenir. AMBASSADOR TO ENGLAND. CARTER HARRISON. He was born in the Harrison homestead at Clark and Harrison streets. He attend­ ed the public schools. He was taken to Germany and put into the gymnasium of Altenburg. This preparatory course fit­ ted him for college, and he graduated from St. Ignatius, Chicago, in 1881. He studied law two years at Yale. He practiced five years after 1883, and formed a real estate partnership with his brother until his father bought the Chicago Times in 1891. He filled nearly all the managing positions on the paper until the sale in 1894. His family consists of Mrs. Harrison, Carter III., who is a romping boy, and Edith, the baby. Long Distance Rider. GRANT'S TOMB READY. Mausoleum Vie* in Grahdenr with Those of 6reat Kings of Old. In Riverside Park, New York, will be Witrie'Bsed on Tuesday, April 27, one of the greatest civil and military displays in the history of the world. The demonstra­ tion on land will be accentuated by a nftval display 011 the river, 130 feet below, the like of which has seldom been seen in £ny part of the world.

John Hay Chosen by President McKinley to Succeed Mr. Bayard. Col. John Hay, who will go to Eng­ land as United States ambassador for the McKinley administration, is already well known in that country by his famous books, "Pike County Ballads," "Little Breeches," and other works from his pen. But although his chief claim is as a writ­ er, the colonel is a pretty good statesman and an excellent diplomat. For four years lie was President Lincoln's secre­ tary, except for the time he spent in the army, which, although it was short, was sufficient for him to become a major and a brevet colonel. He was secretary of le­ gation at Paris and at Madrid and later was charge d'affaires at Vienna. He is erudite, suave, polite and skilled in the understanding-of even small things--qual­ ities that go far toward making up the diplomat. He studied law, although his life has been mainly given to literature. JOHN HAY. Col. Hay is 59 years old, and lives in Washington. Col. Hay has been actively interested in politics since 18to. He was assistant Secretary of State under Presi­ dent Hayes. ; Telecraphic Brevities. The Pacific coast powder war is over.

The or­ ganization of the House was effected Mon­ day vby the re-election of Speaker Reed and the choice of the same old list of gen­ eral officers, and the Senate got itself in working| Order without any trouble what­ ever. Hie vote for Speaker in the House was as follows: Reed i9<j Bailey (Dem.) of Texas 114 Bell (Pop.) of Colorado 21 Newlnnds (Silverite) of Nevada..' 1 The election of MryReed to his old posi- tio.ii, was a formality that occupied less than half an hour, including-tlie nomina­ tion and his speech of acknowledgment of the honor. There was nothing strikingly picturesque or suggestive in the remarks of Gen, Grosvenor putting Mr. Iieed in nomination-or in the Speaker's acceptance. The latter merely said that be would en­ deavor to discharge the.duties of his office impartially arid Well: that he could not hope to please all members in all things at all times, but that lieiwould do the best he could and would endeavor to administer the diities in a spirit of absolute, fairness. Galleries Crowded., As is usually the case at the opening of a Congress, the galleries of both House and Senate were crowded to their utmost capacity, and hundreds and thousands neglected to provide themselves with tuflvets or were unable to secure one of the coveted pastboards were turned away by the doorkeepers, whose instructions were ironclad to admit only those who were eutit led to seats. For an hour be­ fore Clerk McDowell called the House to order the floor was crowded with visitors. The wives and daughters of the members and especially favored visitors were mass­ ed in the aisles and open spaces. The gen­ eral public had small opportunity to view the proceedings.. The most striking feature of the scene 011 the floor was the number of new faces. Old familiar figures, conspicuous in the shock of many a parliamentary battle, had disappeared, and in the new lists were new.and untried knights. The change in the personnel was very great. By 11 o'clock the reserved1 galleries, with the ex­ ception of tln.se for the diplomatic corps ftnd the executive, were walled in, tier on tier. The bright costumes of the ladies gave lighter color to the animated scene. As the hands of the clock pointed to 12, Major McDowell, the clerk of the House, rapped the House to order. Rev. Mr. Coudeu. the blind chaplain, then delivered the invocation, appealing to the throne for God's blessing 011 the work of the new Congress and the new administration. The clerk of the House then read the Presi­ dent's proclamation convening Congress, after which the roll was called. There was an abundance of flowers on the desks of Senators when, pcoinptly at 12 o'clock, Vice-President Hobart called the Senate to order. There was an excep­ tionally full attendance of Senators. The public galleries were packed and the re­ served galleries were well filled. The chaplain's opening prayer invoked divine grace and blessing on the Senators and members about to take up the work of the extraordinary session and on the Presi­ dent and Vice-President. The roll-call disclosed the presence of sixty-eight Sen­ ators. Senator Hoar and Senator Cock- rell were named a committee to wait on the President and inform him that Con­ gress was in session and ready to receive any communication from him. The Sen­ ate then, at 12:30, took a reccss until 2 o'clock. The House did nothing Tuesday, await­ ing the action of the Ways and Means Committee on the tariff bill. In the Sen­ ate to-day 43S bills and eight joint reso­ lutions wer.e introduced. They embraced nearly every phase of public business. Mr. Allen's batch of bills numbered about seventy-five. They included bills direct­ ing the foreclosure of- the government lieu on the Union Pacific road; to prevent professional lobbying; defining the pow­ ers of the judiciary; for service pensions, etc. Mr. Lodge's bills included those to amtriul the immigration laws and for a Hawaiian cable. Bankruptcy bills were presented by Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, and Mr. Lindsay, of Kentucky. Mr. Mor­ gan reintroduced the Nicaragua canal bill before the last Congress, and also a joint resolution to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. A resolution by Mr. Frye, of Maine, calling for information as to the operation of civil-service rules tc& river and harbor work was agreed to after some criticism of civil-service operations. Mr. Frye said it was a step toward abol­ ishing these rules so far as they related to common labor on engineering work of the government. The Senate adjourned until Thursday, as did the House. The sossion of the Sonate Thursday was brief. A smile went around the cham­ ber when Mr. Stewart, a resident of Car­ son City, Nev., where the pugilistic con­ test occurred, offered a bill for the relief of one Corbett. It proved to be a private pension bill. One of the measures intro­ duced by Mr. Gallinger proposed an amendment to the Constitution prohib­ iting legislation in behalf of any relig- denomination. Mr. Turpie, of In- election of Senators by popular vote and introduced a resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution for the. purpose. The first report of the session was presented by Mr. Gear, of Iowa, from the Committee on Pacific Railroads and was favorable to the bill for an ad­ justment of the Pacific Railroad debts by 41 commission consisting of the Secre­ tary of the Treasury, Secretary of the Interior and Attorney General. A reso­ lution by Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, was agreed to instructing the Committee on Foreign Relations to inquire whether the islands of^St. Croix, St. Johns and St. Thomas of the West Indian group could be purchased by the United States, and, if not, the probability of their sale to other powers. At 1 o'clock the arbitra­ tion -treaty was reported and debate be­ gan, Speaker Reed has definitely decided that for the present at least he will not appoint any of the regnlar committees of the House beyond the three already an- nouiiced. In this way all miscellaneous legislation will be blocked and the entire attention of the House focused on the tariff bill. Tfie bills, which are being introduced by the hundreds, will have to wait until the committees to which-they would go under the natural course of things are appointed. News of Minor Note.
