The now Spanish cabinet with Count Alvare do Roinanones as pre mier was announced. Adolph Ochs, publisher of the Now York Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger, announced the salo of the latter paper to Philadelphia mun. Sixteen officials of tho Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railroad and two trainmon wero indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the wreck at Indianapolis November 13 in which sixteen wero killed.

Woodward, superin tendent, wero arested on warrants charging them with tho responsibility for tho wreck of tho Springfield ex press at Westport, Conn. Describing Governor William Sul zor's inauguration, tho Associated Press says: Precedents of years' standing wore ignored and others created during tho inauguration of William Sulzor of New York as demo 6ratic governor of the empire state. All tho pomp and display usually in cident to such occasions wero lack ing, this at the governor's own re quest. There was no military demonstration; no governor's saluto of nineteen guns to announce the change of administration; no parade of civic and political bodies; nothing, in fact, to featuro tno induction into ofilce of tho state's chief executive, except a notable gathering of promi nont persons and the carrying out of tho procedure provided by the con stitution. Tho governor, in his desiro for simplicity, insisted upon walking from tho executive 'mansion to the capitol, refusing to ride in a caV rlage which had been provided. After tho ceremonies he inaugurated a now featuro by appearing on tho front ritops of the capitol and addressing tho thousands who were unable to witness the ceremonies inside. Governor Sulzer took tho consti tutional oath of office in tho assembly chamber of tho capitol. it waB lav ishly decorated with flags, bunting and patriotic emblems and provided seats for more than a thousand per sons. Carrying out the democratic plat form pledge, Majority Leader Wag ner of the senate and Assemblyman (.TOldberg introduced a concurrent resolution preparing for woman suf frage. Tho resolution is substan tially as adopted last year in tho as sembly and defeated in the senate In offering the resolution Ma jority Leader Wagner, who fought the measure last year, explained that ho still was opposed to equal suffrage and was fathering the resolution merely because tho party platform advocated tho presentation of the question to the votors of tho state. Senator Wagner also offered a resolution ratifying the proposed amendment to the constitution by congress, providing for the direct election of United States senators The popular election of United btates senators -was the principal recommendation made by Governor Sulzer in nis first annual message to tho legislature. "Tho people can and ought to be trusted," said tho governor. "They have demonstrated their ability for self-government. In my opinion the people of our state are in favor of tho election of United States senators by a direct vote. I favor this change in tho federal constitution, as I shall every change that will .restore gov ernment to the control of the people." Tho governor also asked the legis lature to consider the problem o re ducing the high cost of living and recommended the submission of a constitutional amendment for wo man suffrage to tho people as soon as possible. After organizing and receiving, tho governor's message the legisla ture adjourned. A London cablegram, carried. by the Associated Press, says: "After their protracted diplomatic skirmish ing, the Turks finally capitulated to a majority of the demands ofthe Balkan allies at a session of., the peace conference in St. James palace.
