Lord Randolph Churchill,s Resigna-

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON. Dec. 23-Churchill's resignation will
not be surprise TO you, though to most people It
Is thunderbolt from the clear sky, entirely un-
expected as regards suddenness. Nobody here
had the remotest idea # was actually impending

1rom Hatfield that, as there was nothing OF i'm
pOrtance on foot, he should not be I'm London

HARRINGTON HAS BEEN SUMMONED
from Italy by telegraph. am assured this after
noon by next to the highest military authority
that the army and navy estimates afford no 1usti-
ncatfon whatever for Churchills resignation, not
being at all in excess OF the ordinary demands
They are therefore merely the pretext which he as
cnanceli0r or the exchequer has adopted to cover
his retreat on the domestic and Irish questions In
the lace OF the fmpossibility OF presenting the
eIcg5 wnlGh n he had prSSmSd To
tory circles would be impossible.
THE QUEEN INDIGNANT.
The queen herself is known to be extremely In.
dignant, Churchlll not having taken the usual
course OF informing her OF his Intentions The
future is totally uncertain owing to the sudden
ness OF the event. No tory leader being I'm the
commons, the formation OF a coalition government
with Harrington as prime minister and Salisbury
as foreign secretary is most probable, naturally
followed, as have repeatedly forecast by a CO.
al1tfon OF Churchill and Chamberlain. Ultimately
however, the present split means a more rapid
triumph OF the GladstOnian party.

The Government Thought to Look for

LONDON, Dec. 23.-The resignation OF Lord RAN
dolph Churchill from the cabinet has caused
sensation. The desire to increase the expenses OF
the admiralty and war Offices, to which Lord RAN
doph was opposed, indicates, IL is believed, that

qured to make her influence felt on the continent
MIR. Joseph Chamberlain has deferred his con-
templated visit to Scotland until the easter holi-
days. No other member o. the cabinet is ex-
pected to resign. 1t is asserted that Lord Hatfng-
ton Will be asked TO assume the Office OF prime
minister. On the other hand, ft is reported that

Lord Harrington is at present in Rome, and has
arranged to remain there another week.

LAUDABLE WORK OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPILS OF
SOUTH wAsHINGrON-How THEY GLADDEN. THE
HEARTS OF THE NEEDY.
s'This has done power OF good" remarked Po-
lice Lieut. Vernon, OF the fourth or South Wash
ingtOn precinct, to-day, as he contemplated rap
idly diminishing pile OF packages heaped up in
the hallway In the rear OF the station. Occasion
ally a woman or a boy with basket came in, and
an officer filled the basket, keeping record OF its
contents and the boy or woman went away re-
1otcing. Now and then an old colored woman
came in, not with basket, but with a bag.
Names were reported to the officers, and boxes
were packed and sent out to the addresses given.
The explanation OF it all was that the children OF
the South Washington pubic schools were sending
bit OF Christmas cheer and comfort to the homes
OF needy people, instead of having Christmas
dinner for the poor children.
Last year it was decided by the school authOr1-
ties IN South Washington that the school children
could do most good perhaps by searching out in
their homes those who would have no Christmas
at home, and invite them to come and I'LL their
baskets.

consulted with Mr.. Fish. our school trustee, and
he heartily approved what we were doing. Instead
OF undertaking to distribute the packages our
selves we consulted Lieut. Vernon, and he and his
officers undertook it. They are less likely to be
imposed upon than we are, and they know where
the needy people are"
Yesterday three wagon loads Of goods including
groceries OF all kinds and many packages OF CLOTH
Ing, were taken to the StatiOn-houSe. Up to noon
to-day the police had supplied two hundred fami-
lies with substantial articles for Christmas con-
sumption. In many cases where people were sick
and unable to come the police delivered 70 their
houses share OF the good things provided by the
children. There were other cases where 1t was
believed the needy ones were too proud to apply
for help, where boxes were delivered and received
gratefully.
Mr.. Fairbrother received, also, a considerable
amount Of money, which he will deposit with a
coal dealer and the police will give orders on the
coal dealer for supplies OF wood and coal.

The following is taken from Mr.. Eugene
Fields "oharps and Flats column in the
Chicago Daiy NelcS of Yesterday. We can
join Mr.. Fields very heartily in his detesta-
ton of the Hon. Elijah Nj, Haines, who is
nothing hut an arrant demagogue, who, in
the last session of the Legislature of this
state, passed every bound of propriety and
political decency 1--WE are sorry that the
Hon Andrw Welch is not to be member
of the nex' legislature, He makes no pre-
ten,ion to brilliancy, but the people OF the
Fox river country never had more dignl-
fled, a more thorough, or safer representa-
sive at the state capital. He made no
splurges in the last legislature, but his pru-
dent counsels saved the democratic MAORI
ty many folly. 1t was he who led the
opposition to Elijah M. Haines In the
democratic caucus, and if his advice had
been needed the democrats in the leglsla-
ture would have been spared the humilia-
ton to which Haines subsequently sub
iected them. He had the manhood, too, to
reject the terms of Cancellation with which
Haines sought to gain his o-operation. He
refused to be cajeled or bribed into even a
t4cit approval of trade which stultifed his
party. From first to last he made an honest,
stauhch, manly fight for democracy, and we
regret that there is not a possibility OF his
return to the Legislative seat which he filled
so honorably and so dignitiedly"
