ROSEBERRY is NAMED
GLApsToNE'S RESIGNATION ACCEPT
ed BY THE QUEEN

And His Successor Is Appointed-The
Radicals Strongly Opposed to Lord
For Their Leader and There Is Trouble
In Sight For the New Premier.
LONDON, March 3.-The resignation
of Mr.. Gladstone has been formally ac-
cepted by the queen and Lord Roseberry
appointed to succeed him.
Mr.. Gladstone wrote letter to Earl
Roseberry, congratulating him upon his
accession to the premiership. In his
letter Mr.. Gladstone promised to aid the
new prime minister whenever his assist
ance was asked. 1t is understood that
Earl Roseberry's communication to Sir
William Harcourt has resulted In the
latter consenting to retain his position
as chancellor Of the exchequer and to
his accepting the government leadership
in the house of commons.
Lord Roseberry has been the recipi-
ent of many congratulatory letters and
dispatches. Among those who tele-
graphed him were the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales Hundreds of letters and
kilograms expressing regret because OF
his retirement from Office were received
by Mr.. Gladstone The Nationalists
propose to present Mr.. Gladstone an adj
dress in recognition of the great services
that he has rendered 10 the Irish cause.
The speech from the throne prorogu-
ing parliament has been signed by the
queen. 1t is neither long one nor sig
nificant Tie speech is the last official
document prepared by Mr.. Gladstone.
It briefly refers to the protracted and
laborioGs character of the session.
The Irish Independent OF Dublin,
which is Parnellita organ, contains an
article saying that as Gir. Gladstone has
now retired, it will be necessary that
full AMI complete assurances lie OBJ
tanned from Lord Roseberry that the
governments
Home Rule Policy
shall he continued. 1t adds that only
on condition that Lord Roseberry il the
fullest sense adheres to this policy and
gives guarantees that a home rule bill
will be passed within a practicable Pc
riod of time if the Parnellites continue to
support the Liberal government. On
this point the paper declares that there
must be no weakness or hesitation.
Lord Roseberry must show his colors
Immediately.
Interviews had by the representative
of the Associated Press with leading
members of the house Of commons show
that while section of the Radicals con-
tinue to strongly resent the selection of
Lord Roseberry, instead of Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, as Mr.. Gladstone's
successor, there is a large preponder
ance of Liberals who favor Loyalty ac-
cepting Lord Roseberry. Mr.. Henry
Labouchere continues to lead the IRE
concilables. He hints that they will
soon find an opportunity to protest in
practical form in the house of commons
against the selection of Lord Roseberry
as prime minister.

The long struggle in the house over the
Bland bill for the coinage of silver seign-
forage and the silver bullion in the treas
ury was ended today by the passage of the
bill by vote of 167 to $780, majority in
favor of the bill of 81. The special order
to bring the bill to vote was adopted by
bare quorum Immediately after the
house convened. This broke the opposi-
tion of the filibusters, and they were pow
erless to do anything further to place an
obstacle in the way of the bill. All the
amendments offered to the measure by its
opponents were defeated.
The senate session was unimportant and

Ex-President of the Northern Pacific
Planning TO Again Get Control

Ex-President of the Northern Pacific
PlanninG 10 Again Get Control.
NEW YORK, March president
Brayton Ives has officially, in behalf of
the directors of the Northern Pacific
Railway company, asked the bondhold-
ers of that company to withhold their
acceptance of the agreement recently
promulgated by the committee claiming
to represent the consolidated bondhold-
ers, and states four reasons for making
this request. Briefly these are: That
the publication of such an agreement is
premature; that the scope of The COM
mittee is too limited; that the constitu-
tion of the committee is unfortunate,
and that, apart from the foreign inter-
est hitherto represented by Mr.. Willard,
the committee owns and controls but a
limited amount of bonds. Mr.. Ives
urges that while Northern Pacific earn
ings continue to decrease, and in the ab-
sence of any full and accurate
Financial Statement
from the receivers, no basis for plan of
reorganization can be presented. He
says also that this committee has made
no effort to cooperate with the existing
committees which represent other mort
gage liens on the company's property.
This committee is dominated by Mr..
Willard, and the success of this plan will
give Mr. Villapd third opportunity to
control the co1npany's affairs, The dir
rectors, Mr.. Ives says, own personally
large amounts of bonds and represent
millions belonging to their friends. He
urges that committee representing all
interests be formed, or that the present
committee be enlarged to meet require
ments pointed out. When this is done
the directors will use whatever influence
and authority they possess to secure the
cooperation of the stockholders in any
plan which may be proposed by the
bondholders.

I. Q. o. F..

We are pleased to the or
ganization of John Campbell Lodge
No. 65, of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows in this place. Messrs. M.
NJ. Dickinson, G. NJ, Chas. L. Voltz, P.
G. NJ, Geo. Muth, P. G. N, and Emile
R. Boohler, P. G., of different Lodges
in New Orleans. and Joseph Fellows,
W., of Alexandria, La, met here on
Sunday last, and on Monday night, the
18th inst, proceeded to organize the
John Campbell Lodge in accordance
with the beautiful forms of the Order.
The following officers were elected
and installed to oficiate in the Lodge
until the end Of the present year:
E. North Cullom, N. G., Geo. Pulford,
Y. G., Joseph Bloch, sec'y., c. N.
Ealer, Treas. Several new members
were initiated and had the degrees con-
ferred upon them. The visiting officers
left a very fatteriDg impression on the
minds of all who were so fortunate as
to form their acquaintance. 1t was
evident their hearts were in the BUSH
ness. If the mem bership of the Order
be made up Of such gentlemen, it is
certainly entitled to the admiration of
all men.
We have in our midst very many
men, young and old, who would be a
credit to the Order and it is but reason
able to hope they may become identified
with it, ere long.

From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. 1894.
President Cleveland has issued no
order, written no letter, O said any
thing that could be- construed into even
the wish that federal officials should
not take part in the pending political
campaign. This statement is positive
ly made on the best authority, nOtwith-
standing contrary statements which
have emanated from usually well-in-
formed souIces during the last few
days. It is not known how these state
ments originated, but it is probable
that the cause was a miScOnception OF
the term "%pernicious political activity :"
On the part of somebody. The Presi-
dent would consider it "pernicious
political activity" for a Federal official
to try to control a primary election or o
nominating convention, but he does not
consider it "pernicious political activi.
his party after the nominations have
been made. On the contrary, I happen
to know, that he considers such aid
highly commendable, provided always
that it can be rendered by the official
without neglect of any of his official
duties. At this time a number Of OFF,
Gals prominently connected with the
administration are ON the stump in
various states and members of the
Cabinet will make speeches before the
close of the campaign.
The Washington Post, which is GER
tainly neither a democratic nor a tariff
reform paper, bears testimony to the
good effect of the new tariff law in
the following strong language, on it's
editorial page 1.-THE effect Of the new
tariff law will unquestionably be bene-
fetal. The Treasury will be rehabili-
tated, popular confidence restored and
capital lured from its hiding into USE
full and wholesome activity. Every
body with the faintest glimmer of
intelligence realizes these truths" In
other words, the writer of that para
graph doesn't believe that the republic
car stump speakers and editors who are
shouting against the new tariff have
" the faintest glimmer of intelligence"
if they believe what they say.
The news received by the democratic
campaign committee continues to be
encouraging, and the belief that the
democrats will retain control Of the
House is firm and cannot be shaken by
republican blufing or populist claims.
