PLEAsEs THE THUNDERER.
The Times Likes the appointment
Of ROSebery

Ol teOScUery.
LONDON, March 5.--The III nes this
morning Ill letter says that among all
those who understand the consldera-
tions of national character involved,
the conviction is stronger than among
the Liberals that Lord RoseDery is the
most fitting successor to Mr.. Gladstone
IN the present crisis. Continuing, the
Times says: with Lord Rosebery we
can confidently expect certain unity
OF thought and action. He is an imperi-
alist in national affairs and mas recog-
niZed that there is no question any
where of pressing Ireland, and that
there is a defined difference between
the Unionists and the party that leads.
AS to the difference of opinion concern
Ing the best means of governing Ireland.
he has even hinted that the difference
might disappear if it were properly
treated. That is a national attitude
which may work an enormous change
in the relations between the parties,
and possibly in the distribution Of indi-
vlduals. 1t is reverSion to the wiser
craftsmanship of an early day, and Of
fer3 the welcome hope Of escape from
the degrading servitude in which Mr..
Gla dstOne has been content to live and
compel the nation to live. In the large
provinces of legislation. dealing with
social problems, Lord Rosebery. judg-
ing from scattered indications, is pre-
pared to make bold, though we trust
not headloEg experiment. In that
direction we will watch his de-
yelopments with great anxiety:
On the important question of
naval defense, there will be an
end to the hesitation and reluctance
that has been so marked during Mr..
Gladstone's tenure of Office, but on all
questions of general policy the new
ministry will follow the lead Of the old
one. 1t is quite certain that his term of
office will not be matter of serious
solicltude to Lord Rosebery. His tasks
will be to rescue his party from
its deplorably shattered condition
and to free it from degrading subserv-
lence to faction careless of the in
terests of the empire and hostile TO
England. In these tasks he cannot
hope for success under existing con-
dltions without period of salutary dis
cipline and reflection in opposition.
Sooner or later the Liberal party must
go iE retreat and prepare for a new
career of usefulness
The Daily News declares that the
government will meet parliament as
strong, except in the absence of Mr..
Gladstone, as before. In one respect it
will be even stronger. The attack on
the impracticable veto of the house of
lords will gain force by the guidance of
peer. Lord Rosebery several years
ago introduced bill abolishing the
house of lords and substitut-
ing therefor an elective senate.
A more practical solution of the
present crisis, however, is the plan
formerly proposed by Rt Hon. John
Morley, and understood to have been
suggested by Lord Rosebery himself,
by which a peer might relnvuish his
seat in the house of lords and become a
candidate for a seat in the house sof
commons. Lord Rosebery is expected
TO confront parliament with a strong
advanced policy. If he fulfill that eX-
pectation he need not fear the result.

FOURTEEN ARRESTS MADE.
The Situation in West Virginia
Still Threatening.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, March AT
fairs at Eagle and Montgomery are be-
coming more complicated. though there
has been no fresh violence of any kind.
Yet the sheriff seems to be threatened
with difficulty in executing the war
rants obtained yesterday for the arrest
of the men engaged in the attack on
Wyant's miners Tuesday. This MORN
ing Gov. McCorKle received telegram
from Col. Hodges. in command Of the
military at Eagle, stating that the town
authorities of Montgomery were inter-
fering with the sheriff in the discharge
OF his duties, and asking for instruc-
tions. The governor at once wired
Hodges to aid the sheriff in every way
necessary to full execution of the law.
He also sent his chief of staff, Col. r. s,
Carr, to Montgomery, with instructions
to urge Hodges to show no hesitancy n
extending to the civil officers whatever
aid should be necessary in executing the
warrants. The sheriff has made fourteen
arrests last night and toGay and is now
On his way to Fayetteville with the
prisoners. He has thirry-nine warrants
still in his hands. The authorities fear
that an attempt will be made to rescue
the prisoners on their way to the county
seat. 1t is three miles from the railroad
to Fayetteville Jail, and the route is
through country that would be auite
favorable to an attack by a party of
friends of the prisoners. Meanwhile
arrests will still be made at Mont
gomery. The sheriff and his deputies
say they are determined to follow the
instructions of the governor to use the
utmost diligence in getting service on
the warrants. The attitude of the au-
thorities of Montgomery towards the
miners is very friendly, and this friend
ship is easily explained. Tne Mont
gomerys own the town. 1t is
built on their land. the stores and
saloons are nearly all owned by them
and large portion of the population is
composed OF operatives at the surround
Ing mines, who live in the houses
owned by the MOntgomerys. One of
the Montgomery brothers is the mayor,
and from personal motives he cannot
feel anxious to see the rioters harshIy
dealt with. He is interested In business
there, and 1t is to his interest and the
interest of his family to keep OH good
terms with them. Whether he is using
efforts to prevent arrests being made or
not it is certain that ne has not and
probably will not make any attempt to
aid the authorities. The kilograms say
he is opposing them, how far soriif

least 10000 persons took part i'll the
demonstration. Lines were formed in
various parts of the city. and the pro-

ing part in the parade were present.
The procession moved through An
drassy strasse, which was packed with
spectators, to an open space just at the
city limits. The crowd was so immense
that another place of meeting could
have been had. Prime Minister Werkle
and other members of the Hungarian
cabinet viewed the procession from the
windows of houses along Andrassy
strasse. They were vociferously ap-
plauded as the procession moved by en-
route to the meeting place. A large
number of speakers addressed the great
crowd in favor of the governments

pledging those present to support the

A PARNELLITE REVOLT
Among the Pos s5ibilities in the
British Situation

LONDON, March Accommodating this
morning upon the political situation
the Times says: "The prevailing
belief is that John Morley. chief ece-
tary for Ireland, will go to the India
office, but there is much doubt regard
ing his successor as Irish secretary. 1t
is an open secret that Mr.. Morley would
not object to leaving the Irish Office,
but at the same time he has studiously
refrained from pressing this point, and
if the general desire Of his colleagues
be that he retain his present office he
is prepared to do So" With reference to
the rumorS that changes are to be
made in the admiralty offices, the
Times says that they especially need
continuity of policy Just now, and
unless hitch occurs it may be expected
that 10 changes will be made. The
paper further says it is anticipated that
MIR. Gladstone will issue an address to
his constituents in Midlothian, stating
his reasons for leaving the premiership.
The paper adds that as far as can be
aScertained Mr.. Gladstone will retain
his seat In the house of commons. The
Times concludes by stating that there IS
much apprehension regarding the att-
tude of the Parnellite members of the
house of commons, aud that the minis
ter would not be surprised ii Mr.. Red
mond, the leader of that section of the
Irish parliamentary party, made an
early bid for Radical support, with a
view to squeezing the government upon
matters of interest to both sections.
LIMERICK. March 4.-The mayor of
this city today presided at a meeting
held at the town hall. He made an ad-
dress, in the course of which, speaking
IN avor of the policy followed by the
Parnellite section of the Irish parlia-
mentary party, he declared that the
resignation of Mr.. Gladstone meant the
shelving OF home rule for long time.
The events OF the past week, he added,
had convinced even the anti-Parnellites
that their policy was lost.

thing Startling on Hand.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The Demo.
cratic members of the senate committee
on finance find it necessary to take al
least one more day to consider the tariff
bill before presenting it to the full
committee. They promise to complete
the bill in time to have it printed for
presentation Tuesday. While some Of
the schedules of the bill have been
agreed to for the time being by the
committee. the work is not yet cousid-
cred finally concluded upon any of
them. and important changes are liable
to be made up to the last moment. For
this reason members decline absolutely
to give out any of the rates fixed. They
also refuse to confirm any figures pub
lished. and, while they do not say that
the rate of 40 cents per ton on iron ore
and coal erroneous, they assert that
whatever figures they may have agreed
to are still subject to changes.
The contest between members of the
committee and the discontented ele-
ment has been very sharp. Senators
Hill, German, Brice, White, Caffery,
Smith and possibly two or three others
constitute very compact organization,
and constitute an influence which the
committee is finding it difficult to re-
sist. Still committeeman do not believe
that the opposition of the senators will
go to the extent of opposing the bill by
their votes. Sugar is still the most dis
turbing element. The Republican
members of the committee have not
changed their purpose of asking for an
explanation in committee of the changes
made, and will insist upon explicit and
comprehensive statements. Senator
Morrill, has reiterated his purpose to
this end within the past day or two, and
other Republican members of the SEN
ate finance committee will sustain him.
II the Democratic members comply, as
1t is supposed they will in a measure, it
Is probable that some time will be con-
sumed, so that even though the bill be
presented to the full committee Tues
day, it cannot be definitely stated when
it will be reported to the senate. The
Democratic members are pledged, how
ever, to get it in at the earliest prac-
ticable moment.

VICTORIA WAS CHILLY,
She Dismissed Her Great Minister
Without Regret.


LONDON, March 5.-The Standard
says: Mr.. Gladstone, in taking his
farewell of parliamentary life, gives the
impression half of suffering and half of
being hustled off the scene. Indeed, so
lamentable has been bis leave-takinS
that he may possibly feel it to be his
imperative duty to return to the arena
OF his great successes In order to make
more telling his exit. We do not blame
him for declining peerage, but, with
characteristic shOrt-SightedneSs, he has
deprived himself of natural refuge in
his declining years, aud his last public
effort was an endeavOr to drag down an
assembly which might have conferred
additional luster even upon his great
name.
The Chronicle says: Zone of the
most significant events of Saturday NAV
possibly have escaped public attention.
On that day the great steward of our
empire passed his resignation, after
siqty years of service, in his royal mis-
tress' hands. The resignation was re-
corded by the queen in the court clrcu-
lar in the formal phrase habitual to the
resignation OF prime minister. 1t was
graciously accepted. There was not a
line, not syllable of regret, far less
of personal sorrow than was ex-
pressed when Lord Salisbury, a
statesman who, compared with MIR.
Gladstone, is mere youngling in the

quished Office after vainly attempting
TO coerce Ireland. The queen notified
the public of the fact of Lord Sallis-
bury's resignation by stating that she
accepted that resignation with much
regret. The phrase was an extraordin-
ary one. We are inclined to think that
it was unprecedented in the queens
reign if not in the whole Guelph period.

One Half Sinks Immediately
and the Other Goes Down in
Crew Drowned-The Cause of
the Disaster Not Known.
Copyrighted, 1894. by the Associated Press. ]
Rio DE JANEIRo, Feb. g. 1894. via
Montevideo, March 4.-The report of the
loss of the rebel transport Venus has
been confirmed. but the details of the
loss are yet meager. On Friday morn
ing the armed rebel transports Jupiter,
Marte and Venus, which were lying off
Porto Madama, took up positions off
Porto Madama and opened lombard
ment against the government batteries.
The guns in the batteries re-
sponded quickly, and quite lively
fire was exchanged. Suddenly there
was terrific roar heard above the
booming of the guns. and it was at once
thought that an explosion had occurred.
At first it was thought that disaster had
befallen the transport Marie. Immcdi-
ately after the sound of the explosion
was heard the men in the batteries and
elsewhere along the shore saw huge
cloud column of brown smoke as
cending and spreading out to wide
dimensions as it arose. 1t was
seen as the smoke cleared away that
the explosion had occurred on the
Venus. The vessel had been torn In
half, and almost Immediately afterward
the stern half of the wreck went to the
bottom. The bow half was Oil fire. and
in few minutes the flames were raging
furiously. This portion of the Venus
f1oated for half an hour and then went
down. The Venus was commanded by
Capt. VascOncellios. He, with three
officers and twenty-nine men, made up
the complement of the vessel. Every
soul on board of her was lost. Some of
the crew could be seen for a time Oil the
forward part of the vessel as it drifted
helplessly burning, and efforts were
made to rescue them, but the boats that
were dispatched OH this work were slow
in reaching the scene of the disaster.
and by the time they arrived the men
on the wreck were forced by fire into
the water. Apparently they could not
swim, and before the boats could
reach them they sank. Many
theories are current as to
the cause of the disaster. The most
probable is that shot from the shore
batteries struck the Venus amid-ships
and plowed its way through the hull
and boilers. 1t is pretty certain that
the magazine did not explode, tor the
smoke was of reddish brown color,
whereas the smoke of powdersh gray.
At any rate, whatever the cause
of the explosion, its force must
have been terrific, as the vessel
was blown into halves as though
made of cardboard. 1t has been re-
ported that the insurgents on the
islands of Vienna. Engenhoa and Pontal
had reyolted against their leaders and
declared in favor of the government.
Tne reporter of the Associated Press is
in position 10 state that there is no
basis of truth in these reports. The in
surgents on the islands in question are
enthusiastic in support of their leaders.
No Importance attaches to the capture
