Thla was only about half the usual Tueaday'a run. but It waa plenty large enough, considering tha condition of 1. the market. - Beef ateera were alow, but about steady. Packer did not appear to be sufficiently dealroua of supplies to go after the cattle and the trade waa a good deal of a drag from start to finish. As there were only a few loads on aale,. the most of them rhanged hands In fair eaaon, despite the dullness of the tnarkat. Cows and heifer displayed a lrttle mora activity than did beef ateera and In some cases aellers quoted the market aa being a little stronger, but it waa very evident that tha demand waa limited and what little atrength there waa seemed to be due entirely to the very moderate receipts. There were very few stockera or feeder In sight but the market on that kind of cattle waa about steady, there being no noteworthy change. It would be well If the country would thoroughly understand the cattle situation. . We are at tha beginning of Lent, when the demand la usually light, but all the meat channels are filled full and there Is beef glut from one end of the country to the other. The only thing for stockmen to do la to hold back their cattle until the meat channels have been cleared and until the market Is once more in a good, healthy condition. If they will do this, there I no ' question but what value will speedily re cover loat ground, but heavy shipments will be very likely to hold tha market down not only for the time being, but for some time to come, aa -packers m ill be convinced of the plentlfulness of cattle in the country, and thera Is no occasion, from tbelr point of view, to advanee prloea when there are lots of rattle to come. Yesterday s Chicago market waa glutted with cattle,' the receipts amounting, to over 80.UW bead, and that too In spite of the fact that the market broke badly laat week Yeaterday' Chicago Drover' journal nuoted the general market on medium to choice ateera aa 26Q40c lower than laat Wednesday, with more aalea showing 411c decline. It will, therefore, do no good for shipper to avoid Omaha and aend their cattle on to Chicago. The only thing to do 1 te bold back cattle from all market points until the present glut 1 wiped out.

LONDON, Feb. 11 That tb member of the Mouse of Common regard tha political situation aa being eapeclally Interesting waa evidenced by the keenness shown to cure good seat for Ui opening of Parlia ment today. On the stroke of midnight the competition began and thereafter a steady stream of member visited tht House of Common and placed their cardk In the place tbey had selected. Later in the morning tha customary search of the rault of the house of Parliament waa carried out by tha yeomen of the guard from the tower of London without the discovery of anything pointing to a repeti tion of the gunpowder plot. Large crowd gathered within the precinct of Parlia ment to witness the arrival of th dis tinguished personage. The second session of the second parlia ment of the preeent reign, which promises to be full of Interest, wa opened by King Edward this afternoon with all the Im posing ceremonlea which ha attends! these function since hi accession. Raay Seaaloa Eiseeled. The speech from the throne foreshadowed A full and busy session devoted to' Ireland and temperance, apart from the over shadowing question of the House of Lords. After the usual reference to the good relation prevailing between Great Britain and the other power, the speech deplored the loc of life and destruction of property resulting from th earthquake at King ston. 'I have seen with satisfaction," said the king, "that the emergency baa been met by the governor and hi officer with courage and devotion and by the people with aelf-control. The occasion ha called forth many proof of practical good will from all part of my country and X recognize with sincere gratitude the sym pathy shown by the people 04 the United Btate and the assistance promptly offered by their authorities," A congratulatory reference to the visit to India of the ameer of Afghanistan was followed by th .Intimation that "while guarding the unity of the executive power unimpaired" some change In the govern mental method of India wer under con sideration to bring them more in accordance with the wlihe of th native. "Then came a guarded reference to th question uppermost. In the mind of hli majesty's hearer. It wa addressed both to "my lord" and th "gentlemen of th House of Common." Geatta Threat far Lords. "Serious question," said th king, "af fecting the working of our parliamentary system have arisen from th unfortunate difference between the two house. My minister have thli important subject under consideration with the view of a solution of the difficulty." The rest ot the speech wa devoted to th proposed ' licensing bill, th object of which 1 to diminish the drink evil. Pro posal for the improvement of the army organisation and Irish local ' government and education question and a number of minor measure. Including th establish ment of a court of criminal appeal. On th Irish question th king ald: 'Tour attention wn "oe called to measure for further associating the people of Ire land with th management of their do mestic affair . and otherwise improving their System of government In It .admin istrative and financial aspects. Proposal will alao be submitted o you for effecting a reform of unlveralty education In Ire land." . - Among th domestic legislation fore shadowed waa "a bill enabling women to serve on local board," evidently Intended a a sop to the woman suffragist. The point In th king speech which at tracted the moat attention wer the ref erence to tb Kingston disaster and the House of Lord. When hi majesty spoks gratefully of the assistance rendered by the American navy to tb earthquake sufferer he turned In th direction of the diplomatic body and bowed to Ambaaaador Raid, who was distinguished among, his uniformed colleagues by his evening dress. Whan tfee. difference between the lord and tb common were mentioned there wa a perceptible commotion among .the audience which wa all the more noticeable because It 1 unusual, fpr any phrase In a speech from the throne to cause anything in the way of a sensation among those who hear It read. Hoaa Debate Speech. Th Houa of Common was crowded In all part when the member assembled for business at 4 o'clock this afternoon and great animation wa noticeable. The entry of the premier, Blr Henry Campbell-Ban- nerman, waa greeted with cheer from th ministerialist. Th speaker, James Lowther, read the speech from the throne. The refer no to the aid rendered by the American navy at Kingston waa greeted with a loud outburst of applause. The mention of the difference bet the House of Common and th Houa of Lord also waa cheered.

On th resumption of th Bitting of th House of Lord. Lord Castletown, liberal, moved the address In reply to th king's speech and In so doing praised the assist- an o rendered by the American navy to the sufferer from the earthquake at Kingston. H also declared that It waa necessary to change th machinery of th Houae of Lords which at present gave tb house a preponderance of tori a Regarding Ireland. Lord Castletown de clared that what waa proposed was volu tion rather than devotion. After a hun dred year of union It waa proposed to adopt administration refcrma. long overdue, to res cue th Irish ayit'm from ehaoe. Ireland's appeal for financial justice had failed but separation was unthinkable and Impossible Ixird Lanadowne, liberal unionist, said tb opposition wa left entirely Ignorant a to the direction In which a solution for th present relatione between the Houa ot Lord and th Houa of Common wo to be sought. Did th government want to make the upper house stronger and more efficient, or to degrade It to a mere debat ing society It wa deeply rooted In the public mind that whatever dangers might be apprehended from aa unreformed House of Lord they wer nothing to be compared with thoa of an. unrestrained Houa of Common. vt 1 Lord Ripon, 11 veral lord privy seal, after expressing sympathy with the suf ferers from tb earthquake at Kingston, said they bad beard with tb keenest aatia faction of th manner In which th navy of th United State went t th aaalatano of tb sufferers. That action, hs added, had don much to bind still more closely tb tie which connected them with their kin aoroa the Atlantic Tha' British wer deeply grateful to th American Bailor and their officer. During th debate la the Houae of Com aaoaa 00 tht apiakca from too throa tortn.- Premlef Balfour, the opposition leader, re ferring ta th IrUh question, said Mr. Rryc (lata chief secretary ot Ireland), had held a pistol at th haadi of every on concerned In the matter. Mr. Balfour commented with surprise 00 th absence In th king speech. In refer ence to th colonial conference, saying that the matter would be raised la tb debate on th address. Balfaar Deteaas Large. Turning to th relation between th two house Mr. Balfour said that what h ceiled "filling up the cup" agalnat tb House ot Lords would, he felt assured. Oil to overflowing the cup of unpopularity of th government and lead the country to desire change, not In the Houa of Lords, but in the Houe ot Common. He argued that In th long run the people should de cide what ahould be th law under which they were to live. Premier Campbell-Bannerman, In reply aid th government had only followed th precedent set by Mr. Balfour In not men tioning the colonial conference In th king's speech. Th question of the difference be tween th two house of Parliament was the chief matter. The Important measure demanded by the country and passed after Infinite patience by the House of Common had been destroyed by the House of Lords. Th readjustment of th constitutional ma chinery would be of real servics to th country. Continuing, amid loud cheer, th premier declared that the question of the House of Lords must bo settled. The preeent situa tion was discreditable, dangerous and demoralising. They must have readjustment of the relation between the two houses so a to enable them to carry out In reasonable harmony the wishes of the people, and to this the attention of the House of Commons would be directed In due time. Tumlngto Ireland the premier pointed out that they could not Immediately enter on a larger policy, but first, must remove the objectionable feature In such a way aa to be considered with th the adoption of that policy.

PA TAKES OUJTHAT PERMIT BUI Rearke Prepares la Issprev Vlatoa Street Base Ball Park. The first real suggestion of th approach ing base ball season waa made evident -Tuesday morning, when Manager "Pa" Rourke of the Omaha base hall team walked In at the front door of the city hall, rode In an elevator to the fourth floor and then entered the - building In spector's office. ' "Hello. BUI." yelled Clerk Grotte. a Bill Rourke extended his strong right arm to the position usually held by a person expecting to shake glands with another. Papa Bill waa granted a permit to make $2,500 Improvement at the Vinton treet ball park. The new soon gained currency through the ctty hall and then leaked out about town. - Mr. Rourke ald he would build a new club house with shower baths for ths play era. Improve the grandstand and bleacher, erect a large aoor board and do othar things for the fans and players. Bill Armour say that all talk of Hug gins being as good as Lajole Is rot. The former Cleveland manager says: "Larry can get the bail easier and touch out more runners at second base with one hand than either Huggins or Ever with two. "No other second baseman la In Lajole' class for a minute. The greatest play I ever saw was pulled off by the Frenchman. It occurred when Larry came In. to cover second base on a steal. He saw that th catcher's throw was going to tie a little too late and too far over to allow Mm to stand In the base path and touch the runner. Instead of waiting he ran toward third base. . , - "He ran past the oncoming ball, caught It In his left band Instead of his right, thereby avoiding a collision with the base runner, and with the backward motion given by the bail he swung back and, tagged hi man. It may seem a aimpl play, but It Is hard to realise what a re markable' play it ana. It required quick thinking, instant Judgment end rapid exe cution. I thought 1 knew all about hall players, but day . after day St Cleveland I sat on the bench and stared open-mouthed at Lajole." .. . .. Billy White, perhaps, will lead off at th bat for Omaha this year. He possesses s-veral elements of strength for that try ing position. He is hard to pitch to, being short and annoying to a pitcher; ia quick as a cat with his eye, a good bunter ami fast on hia feew and. last or all, a fin waiter. His patience almost rivals that of Abraham Lincoln, to say nothing of Job. So he has ths qualifications for getting to his base and setting a good example. Here I word from the Little Rock Gasett on k.mrlre: the w esiern league new "L'mptr Buckley officiated- In, the South ern league last aeason that Is, until 00m tialnts from about all the clubi 1n th league poured Into President Kuvanaugh a crflce, with the result that Mr. Buckley received a blue slip Jn his envelope. Buck ley seemed to have a chip on his shoulder at all tlmea and defied any player to knock It oft. He evidently went on the assumption that It was the mission of plsyers to lir up aa much trouble aa possible, and aa a consequence he did not get along with scarcely a player In the league Buckley also went out of 'hi way to display his authority.
