and from Tillage far and near began
gathering at daybreak this morning on the
great plain outside the clt jr.
.There they waited tstlently for the su
preme announcement of the durbar that
King Edward vat emperor of India. Soon
the great plain wm filled with crowding
rnae of people and the brightly colore!
clothing of the van" throng covered the
apace with gorgeous hues.
The crowd on the plain was composed
largely of the common people, but among
It could be seen the retainers of the va
rtous rajahs who had assembled for the
function.
The attention of all was fixed upon the
white amphitheater, In the center of the
plain, where the announcement was to be
made. The amphitheater was adorned with
gilded cupolas and surrounded by batteries,
squadrons and battalions of the Indian
army.
Beyond the amphitheater. In the distance,

camels and horses. o rast was the multi

(From a Staff Co nree ponder t)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. tSpeclal Tele
gram.) One of the best New Tear' pres
ents to the cattle Interests of the Vnlted
State was the report sent to Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson on December 11 by Dr.
D. 8. Salmon, atatlng that he had the foot
and mouth disease under control In New
England; that up to the close of December
10 1.600 head of rattle had been killed un
der direction of the chief of the bureau of
animal Industry In Massachusetts alone and
that a clean bill of health would be pre
sented on New Tear'a day. Dr. Salmon
atated to hla chief that he believed the dis
ease wss under complete control. While
there might be Isolated cases of the dis
ease breaking out amongst other herds he
felt that the worst was over and that the
cattle interests of the country could rest
assured that the quarantine established
would be maintained until every trace of the
disease had been eradicated.
The amount paid out to the end of the
year to reimburse owners of cattle la
slightly In excess of $50,000 In Massachu
setts. The Inspectors of the bureau of an
imal Industry who are at work In other
New England atatea have not yet submitted
their report, but as the disease waa un
doubtedly Introduced Into the country from
Europe through the port of Boston, It is
natural to assume thst Massachusetts cat
tle were more generally affected than those
In any other atate.
While a few sporadic cases may make
their appearance In' the west through cars
used in the cattle trade, the bureau of ani
mal Industry took auch prompt steps
towards disinfecting all rolling stock which
might contain germs of the disease that It
is believed little danger Is to be antici
pated from this source. According to the
secretary of agriculture there la, therefore,
every reason to suppose that the disease
has been checked and that It will no longer
prove a menace to the cattle export In
dustry. The quarantine will cot be lifted
until the department I satisfied that all
danger Is passed.

Resolutions of regret on the death of

problem of the spread of yellow fever.
boat thirty prominent scientists ot th
country were elected fellows of the asso
ciation. - - . e"
A constitutional amendment was adopted
allowing the annual meetings of the asso
ciation to be extended beyond a week. A
large number of papers on technical sub
jects were read at the various meetings of
the sections during the day.
One of the lnterestirg papers of the day
waa by Prof. Burt G. Wilder of Cornell
university, before the section ot soology,
on "Some Questions as to the Arrangement
of the Primates."
According to the views advanced by Prof.
Wilder, there should be a rearrangement In
the present classification ot apes and man.
The relation he considers as affording the
best criterion on which to determine their
affinities and divergencies. Incidentally he
abowed that ths brain of the orangoutang
approaches more nearly that ot man, and
that Judged by this character the orang
outang ahould rank first after man In
stead ot the gorilla. Thla provoked much
discussion.
Another Interesting paper read todsy was
by Prof. W. J. McGee on "Indian Arrow
Poison." Prof. McGee explained that the
poison often was applied to the bow Instesd
of the arrows, or that certain spells were
uttered, or put on the weapons, which It
waa believed would cause the death of a
victim, in other Instances, he said, the
Indians daubed their arrow polnta with
putrlfying matter, which produced septi
cemia in the persona struck and thereby
resulted In death.

GRAIN MARKET FOR OMAHA
Proposed Institution Meant Much for the
Citj and 6ut.
RAILROAD OPPOSITION MAY BE OVERCOME
Parties laterested la the Move Will
Co to Co art of Laat Resort la
Order to gee a re Fair
Local Treataseat.
"The railroad are a good deal, but they
are not the whole thing yet. Ther 1 In
existence aa Interstate Commerce com
mission, ond If all else falls that power
will be exerted to compel the railway to
offer rate facilities favorable to the estab
lishment ot a grain market in Omaha. If
the roads continue to disregard the In
terests of this city and the wtabes of both
shipper and buyers, this supreme author
ity may be Invoked, aad if this Is done
there are reasons why the fiat through
rate In and out of Omaha will be easily
obtslned. That It will be possible to enlist
the most esrnest efforts of the commission
In the cause Is quite certsin. The Omaha
Board of Trade has recently tsken out a
membership in the National Board ot Trade
and that vast Influence would be behind
this city In such a movement."
With these words a prominent grain man
of Omaha commented upon the position ot
hostility to Omaha's Interests assumed by
the railroads.
"The argument of the railroad men
against fsvorlng the establishment of a
grain market here Is a sieve from begin
ning to end. It will not hold wster any
where," he ssld. "Tou can take It point
by point and show its fallacy. In answer
to the statement that Omaha is no place
for a grain market. I say that there Is
not a better place on the globe. The city
Is situated practically In the center of the
best agricultural territory In the world,
stretching out for nearly 400 miles on every
side. Whst more do you want?
Matter of Coaaaaaptloa.
"But the railroad men aay there'a no con
sumption, that thla la the great thing nec
essary, that ths grain brought in here for
sale must be consumed lsrgely In con
tiguous territory In order that thn market
may expand and be a success. That I may'
answer In two ways. In ' the first place
Omaha has a large or larger contiguous
natural consumption thsn any ot the other
grain markets proportionately to ita sixe,
and the other avenues of consumption,
milling, manufactures and such will fol
low the market here. Tou cannot expect
them to precede It. Oatmeal factories,
cereal food factories and all manner of
mills would come In here on the heels of a
securely established grain market. In the
second place. It le not true that grain
which reaches the markets ot this country
Is consumed largely near them.. Chicago
eendt fully SO per cent ot Its grain out,
and the rest keep bnt small proportions.
'And these railroaders talk as If Chicago
were the whole thing, aad the only objec
tive point for grain from thla territory.
It Is neither. If grain were brought In
here for market and Inspected and weighed
here. It would be ready for the markets of
the world, not necessarily Chicago.
"All these argsmsate adsaod aaaiast
the grain market were naed by the rail
roads when the movement to establish
stock yards and packing houses here was
started. That fight waa won, and thla one
can be also aa few strong men had started
In on the stock proposition, the Chicago I
houses saw that It was going to cut In
on their trade and they all came out here.
They had to do It.
Mast Come to Omaha.
"In Just the same way the grain men ot
Chicago and ot St. Louis and of all the
other big grain markets would have to
come out here as soon as they saw that
this waa to be a live grain center. They
would have to have the representation on
the ground. With the market in operation
and the railroads helping it the population
would be (welled 30.000 In five year. It
I needless to explain how such an Influx
would boost every kind of business.
"In short, thi grain market would make
Omaha, if the railroads would give it a
chance, and we can compel them to do that.
They cannot discriminate against us. It
mesne population. It means business and it
means money. Once get It launched well,
and tho country will have to come to us.
We need the grain market badly, and we
need a relaxation of the unjust discrimina
tion of the railroads a great deal more. In
fact, I think that the future of the Job
bing business here depends upon our get
ting that latter. If the railroads are to
continue In that attitude Chicago Jobbers
can do Just as much business In cur terri
tory and In Nebraska as can Omaha Job
bers. and even more. They get every ad ! capital and labor should be In thorough ac
vantage. . Were I to start a Jibbing busl- I cor and that there should be no legislation
nesa to cover Nebraska now I would operate
from Chicago, but with the ban of local
tariffs removed the commercial strength
of the city could be teated by none."

liant events In Washington' recent social
history.
All callers were afforded the opportunity
ot greeting the president and Mrs. Rooee

pliments of the New Tear. No distinctions
were made, except such as were rendered
necesary In preservation of order, and the
greetings extended to all high and low.
rich and poor were alike cordial and sin
cere. Tea! ay the general public, for the first
time, had an opportunity to see the widely
heralded Improvements In the White House
Improvements which, wben completed,
will have coet about 1(00.000. In addition
to a desire, personally, to wish the presi
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt a happy New Tear,
hundreds were attracted by a wlh to see
the White House In it new and handsome
Interior furnishings.
To msny who were familiar with the In
terior ot the mansion aa it was a year ago
the changes made were a revelation. While
In a general way the form of the Interior
has been retslned In beauty and effective
ness. It Is wholly different.
Just 102 years ago President John Adsms
and his wife opened the White House with
a New Tear's reception to their friends and
to the public generally. The dawn of the
first fete day within the walls, since become
historic, was accompanied by the noise of
taw and hammer, as was this day.
a.Ou account of the unfinished condition of
the lower floor President and Mrs. Adams
received their guests In the room on the
second floor now occupied by President
Roosevelt as a library. While the Im
provements now are more nearly completed

will be several months before the workmen,
will have finished their task.
Aglow with Eleetrle Lights.
An hour before the time for the reception
the mansion waa aglow with uiyriads of
electric lights. Towering palate of rare ,
varietlee were placed in aichea about th .

holly were arranged between the"
vestibule and main corridor, affording a
brilliant and effective background iftr the
handsome scarlet uniforms of the Marine
band, sixty strong, which occupied the
tiers of sests In the vestibule.
In the red, blue and green rooms, and la
the splendid east room were disposed a few
vases contslnlng cut Cowers, principally
white lilies snd 'Lilies ot the Valley. It
was noticed, however, that the floral deco
rations hsd lieen suborned to the new fur
nishings snd finishings of the roome.
It was a merry day for the Roosevelt
children. Prior to the teceptlon they had
a Jolly time In the lower part of the houae.
They msnlfested the liveliest Intereet In all
the arrangementa.
Shortly before 11 o'clock, the hour at
which the reception began, the diplomatic
corps began to ssscmble In the Red room.
The members of the corps entered the
mansion from the south side, as usual. In
order to avoid the crush of the throng

! electric candelabra the spectacle presented
j by this cosmopolitan gathering,' attired in
1 court uniforms, sparkling epaUlettes and
glittering swords, showing resplendent
agalnct the red velvet upholstering and
j woodwork, waa gorgeous.

Marine bend sounded a fanfare, announcing
ths approach of the president and Mrs.

Following them came the members ot the
cabinet and women. The receiving party
waa arranged In the are ot a circle la the
bay window ot the Blue room. Facing
them were the women invited to assist.
Between the two sections of the receiv

I callera passed from the Red room, proceed-
lS through tbs Green room Into the East
room and thenee down the etalrease Is to
