md an opportunity to protest in a prac-
ucai form in the House of Commons
against the selection of Lord Rosebery as
Prime Minister. Mr.. Gavin Brown Clark,
a leadlng Scotch Radical member of the
House of Commons. says that he agrees
with the position taken up by Mr.. Labou-
chere and adds that he himself will prob
ABLY emphasize his protest by the with
drawal of his support of the government
at an early and critical occasion. He de-
clares that he is opposed TO peer-led gov
ernment. He will probably move an amend
ment to the address in reply TO the Queens
speech proroguing the session, in order to
Otner members of the House, while eX-
pressing sympathy with this attitude, de-
clare that they do not feel justified in over
turning the Liberal government especially
as Lord RoSebery is pledged to questions
that are put down for the earliest treat
ment at the new session. and because they
have every reason to believe that he agrees
that there is urgency OF a material limita-
ton of the powers of the House of Lords
Moreover. the opinion is expressed that
Lord Rosebery may propitiate the profess
sional and commercial classes, besides soft
enlng the rancOr of the opposition of the
Liberal Unionists. which, with the choice
OF a more belligerent leader. such Sir
William Nernon-Harcourt might have been
prolonged and intensified. The Welsh men,
oers OF the House of Commons are deeply
concerned in the situation, in view of the
early place promised by the government
for the Welsh disestablishment bill in the
next session; but the general feeling is one
out the promises made by Mr.. Gladstone.
1t is argued, moreover, that if the reorgan-
lied government be early upset the pros
poets of Welsh disestablishment will be
indefinitely delayed.
The Irish Nationalists state that they dc
not feel as if they had any right to take
pat in the agitation over the leadership
of the Liberal party, but strong in the past
promises of the government and their own
voting strength, they rely on the govern
ment giving practical attention in due
course to the Irish claim.
Commenting this morning on the political
situation the Times says: The prevailing
belief is that Mr.. John Morley, Chief Sec
retary for Ireland, will go TO the India
Office, but there is much doubt regarding
his successor as Irish Secretary. The paper
further says it is anticipated that Mr..
Gladstone will issue an address to his con-
stituents in Midlothian stating his reasons
for leaving the premiership. The paper adds
that as far as can be ascertained, Mr.. Glad
stone will retain his seat in the House of
Commons The Times concludes by stat
ing that there is much apprehension re-
garding the attitude of the Parnelite men,
bers Of the House of Commons. and that
the Ministers would not be surprised if Mr..
Redmond, the leader of that section of the
Irish parliamentary party. made an early
bid for Radical support with a view to
squeezing the government on matters of
interest to both sections.

NEW YORK, March 4-Mr. w. J. Nor
gan, of the American Wheelman, accom-
panied by Mr.. A. J. Cahill, of the Referee
Chicago, called at the Associated Press
office this evening and stated that thinner
man, the amateur bicyclist champion of the
world, had called at the American Wheel

lenge issued by John S. Johnson to race
any man from a quarter of a mile to five
miles, that he would meet Johnson at any
distance, provided q large stake was put
up-the stake to be not less than s., 600, and
from that up. Should Zimmerman and John
son join the ranks of the professional riders
it would probably cause q stampede to the
professional from the amateur ranks.

ONLY EIGHT OUNCES.
Smallest Baby Ever Heard of Born in
Connecticut Yesterday.

ESSEX, Conn, March 4.-The smallest
baby yet reported was born in Killing
worth, village about eight miles west
of this place. The parents are Swedes.
The father is employed by a farmer, cut
ting timber, and weighs about 100 pounds.
The mother is a stout, healthy woman,
weighing perhaps $50 pounds. The child is
a male as perfectly formed any being
can be- and on it's birth weighed only eight
ounces Its face is about the size of a
horse chestnut. A ring worn on a little
finger of its mother was easily slipped
over his foot nearly up TO the knee. It Is
the opinion of the attending physician that
the child will live. The child is so small
that three of its like could play hide and
seek in cigar box.

PLEASES THE TINES.
The Thunderer Glad to Have Rose
berry in GIadstOne'S Place.

LONDON, March 5.-The Times this morn
ing, in a letter, says that among all those
who understand that considerations of a
national character are involved, the con-
victiOn is even stronger than among the
Liberals that Lord Rosebery is the most
fitting successor TO Mr.. Gladstone in the
present crisis. Continuing, the Times says:
with Lord ROsebery we can confidently
expect O certain unity of thought and ac-
ton. He is an imperialist in national af
fairs. and has recognized that there is TO
question anywhere of expressing Ireland;
but there is a defined difference between the
Unionists and the party that he leads. AS
to the difference of opinion concerning the
best means of governing Ireland, he has
even limited that the difference might dis
appear if ii were properly treated. That
is an attitude which may work an enormous
change in the relations between the parties
and possibly in the distribution of individ-

we will watch his developments with great
defense there will be an end TO the hesita-
ton and reluctance that has been so marked
during Mr.. Gladstone's tenure of office, but
on all questions of great policy the new
Ministry will follow the leader of the old
one. II is quite certain that his term of
office will not be matter of serious solici-
tude to Lord Rosebery. His tasks will be
to rescue his party from its deplorably shat
tered condition and to free ii from degrad-
ing subservience TO a faction, careless of
the interests of the empire and hostile TO
England. In these tasks he cannot hope

Lord Rosebery, several months ago, intro
duced bill abolishing the House of Lords
and substituting therefor an elective Sen
ate. A more practical solution of the pres
ent crisis, however, is the plan formerly
proposed by the Right Hon. John Morley,
and understood to have been suggested by
Lord ROsebery himself by which a peer
might relnquish his seat in the House of
Lords and become candidate for a seat
in the House of Commons. Lord Rosebery
is expected to confront Parliament with a
strong advanced policy. If he fulflls that
expectation he need not fear the result.

On the new automatic gallows, now legal

is chiefly responsible for its adoption and
after whom it is named. Cronin's neck
was broken on the upward bound by the

The galloWs upon which Cronin was

machine ever made for taking human
life. IT would send q thrill of horror

a most ingenious contrivance the male

himself. This extraordinary Connecticut

Its operating machinery is so contrived
that the murderer in stepping on the drop

apparatus that in n carefully regulated
