GLADSTONE HAS A COLD.
Joseph Chamberlain Praises the Re-
firing Premier.

tlrlng Premier.
London, March 7.-Ex-Premier Glad
stone was confined in bed this morning
He became chilled by the raw winds yes
terday, and is suffering from a severe
cold.
The following bulletin was issued to-
night by Mr.. Gladstone's physicians !:
MIR. Gladstone is suffering from a
troublesome cough, due to catarrhal in
famation of the throat His temperature,
however, is only slightly above normal
and his strength is good He remains in
bed" Mr.. Gladstone dined at club last
night and afterward walked home. The
night was very raw and when he ar
rived at home he had taken cold.
The announcement is made officially
that Herbert Gladstone will succeed
George j. Shdw-Lefevre as first commits
sloner of works in Lord Rosebery's s
cabinet.
CHAMBERLAIN PRAISES GLADSTONE.
Joseph Chamberlain, leader of the lib
eral unionists in the House of Commons,
addressed meeting of his constituents in
Birmingham this evening. He praised
Mr.. Gladstone for his energy and cour-
tesy in public life. and spoke in
the warmest terms of his eloquence
and keenness in debate. None of
the old pGemier's mental powers, he said,
had shown siyns of decay, and his retire
ment could only be deplored by political
friends and foes alike. For this retire
ment there was no more reason now ap-
parent than there had been at any time
In the last ten years.
FUTURE OF THE UNIoNIsTs.
Mr.. Chamberlain said he had been
asked repeatedly in the last few days
whether the lib2ral-unionists were likely
to become again a part of the great Lib
eral party. This question he was unable
to answer, He had noticed a widespread
impression that Lord Rosebery. as pre-
mier, was likely to reverse Mr. Glad
stones policy, notably as regarded home
rule for ireland. 1t certainly was curious
that the Liberal party. after their great
struggle for home rule, should now ac-
cept leader who was known to be
lukeWarm in the Irish cause and reject
one who was recognized as a Zealot for
separation. There were many incalcula-
bic elements in the present political situa-
| tion. The uncertainty could not be
| fathomed for some time, and the parties
must wait ana watch. The liberal union
| lists must observe the course of events
| without dlSbanding their forces Person
| ally, he feared that the policy of the
| liberal party would remain unchanged
| that home rule would still be part of the
| liberal programme, and that, conse
| quentIy, he and his colieauges must con
tinue their strenuous opposition TO the
| government.
KICKING ON MCCARTHY.
Some of the leading members of the
Irish (McCarthyite) party in parliament
are denouncing Justin Mccarthy, theil
| leader, for the attitude he has assumed il
| regard to the succession of Lord Rose
| berry to the premiership. The movement
| has not as yet reached a stage threaten
| ing revolt, but Mr.. McCarthy's position
| is characterized as one of displaying baC
| Judgment and lack of sta bilitY.

INSURANCE mEN UNEASY.
The Advance In Rates Here May
Break UP the Association.


Break UP the Association.
Atlanta, Ga, March 7.--Insmance men
here are somewhat uneasy over the situa-
tion in Savannah as developed by the pro-
test against the recent action of the
Southeastern Tariff Associationin advanc-
ing the rate of insurance in that city.
The legislature of 189l-92 passed an act
aimed at the Southeastern Tariff Asso-
citation, known as the Whitfield law It
was the avowed purpose of the friends Of
the measure to abolish this association,
which was held to be pool formed to de-
feat competition in insurance and prac-
tically effect q monopoly of the business.
AS the bill was drawn it would have
wiped out the association summarily, but
through strong lobby amendments were
put upon it which has up to the present
time served to perpetuate the POOLS lease
on life.
NATURE or THE AMENDMENTS.
These amendments provide that the
law cannot become operative until formal
complaint has brought the existence Of
the association TO the notice of the in
surance commissioner. This complaint
must be based upon the increase of the
rate of insurance charged any citizen, or
the refusal of any company TO insure
upon reasonable basis. Before the act
was passed complaints Of increased rates
were Of quite frequent occurrence, but
with the sword of Damocles hang
ing over their heads in the shape of
the Whitfield law, the insurance COM
panies have been careful to prevent any
complaint that would bring their pool
within the law. The insurance commits
sioner of course, knows of the existence
of the southeastern Tariff Association,
and knows that it is in existence con-
trary to the spirit of the statute law, but
his hands are tied, unless the full letter
of the law is carried out, and tho neces-
sary complaint is made 10 bring the pool
officially before him for trial.
MENACEs THE ASSOCIATION.
If the Whitfield law should become
operative the Southeastern Tariff Asso-
citation would have to shut up shop in
Georgia, and an era of competition in fire
insurance would be inaugurated. Since
the recent order advancing rates in
Savannah, and the vigorous protests
being made against it, the association,
which has its headquarters In this city, is
beginning to feel uneasy. A formal com
plant to the insurance commissioner is
feared. In fact, those who have dis
ccrncd the situation in this light do not
see that this crisis can be avoided unless
the association revohes the advance tariff.

BRITISH At BLUEFIELDS.
Soldiers From a WarShip Landed at
the Request Of a Chief.

The American Consular Representa-
tive Asks That the United States
Send Warship to the Scene-sena-
tors Afraid That the Landing Is an
Intentional Violation of the Clay
ton-Bulwer Treaty..
Washington, March THE depart
ment of state has received its first Of
fciaI information of the operations of the
british naval forces at Bluetelds, near
the mouth of the Nicaragua canal. 1t
came in the shape of a dispatch from
United States Minister Baker, at Mara
gna He saws the United States consul
et San Juan de Morte, Mr. Braida, tele-
graphs him that soldiers from the British
warship Cleopatra had been landed at
Bluefeids, and strongly urges that
ITnitid States naval vessel
he sent there at once. There is no eX-
nlanation in the minister's dispatch of
The reason for the landing OF the British
forces. Preceding reports OF Consul
Braida show that when the Nlcaraguan
government forces occupied Bluefelds
fhe reigning Mosquito chief appeared to
the British consul at San Juan, del Norte
for protection, and the question of inter-
est at this stage of affairs is whether the
british troops have been landed to afford
that protection to the Mosquitoes, or
whether the landing was made to protect
British citizens only
A RESOLUTION IN THE SENATE.
The resolution of inquiry concerning
the British at Bluefelds, which was in
troduced in the Senate by Senator Nor
gan to-day, was the result of the dis
cussion of this subject by the Senates
foreign relations committee at its meet
RI 4iu There l.
sion in the minds of the Senate that the
English government is making an effort
to obtain footing on the eastern coast of
the isthmus in violation of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, and the action of
the committee is directed to
the end of securing whatever
information the state department may
have upon the subject. Senator Morgan
is especially Jealous of any movement on
the part Of a foreign government which
might affect the Nicaragua canal, and
probably nothing could happen to give
him greater concern than for England TO
secure foothold in that region.
SENATOR MORGAN AROUSED.
Senator Morgan said in reply to a ques-
ton as to the purpose of the resolution
that he had no information upon the sub
iect except such as he obtained from the
newspapers, in which he had seen a state
ment that the British were at Bluehelds
for the purpose of interfering with the
sovereignty Of Nicaragua over the Mos

the fact that the Kearsarge was headed
in that direction had any significancel'
What was she going there fort" was
his response. "Of course he added II
don't know that such was the case, but ii
looks like it.

and Speaker Bolton, of the state House
of Representatives, are the gentlemen
most prominently mentioned for the va

A Quiet 4th f,JUly.

Owing to the disorganization incident
to the strike, the absence of the military
from the city ana kindred causes, it was
decided at the meeting in Col. Knaebels
office last night not to attempt general
celebration Of the 4th Of July in Santa
Fe. Consequently tomorrow will be
observed as day of quiet and rest in the
historic capital. OF course the irrepres-
sible small boy, with his torpedoes and
fire crackers, will do his best to make the
day noisy and explosive, but the thought
full citizen, deeply concerned in view OF
the critical situation of affairs in the
country, will gladly welcome the silence
and absence of excitement SO essential to
serious and patriotic reflection.

Rev. Samuel Kinzinger, of Troy, Ohio,
was with the people of his own denomi-
nation last Sunday evening in the cosy
little church across the rio. After the
usual sermon by the pastor to full
house Mr.. Kinzinger spoke sincere words
of congratulations to the pastor and peo-
pie of Trinity Lutheran church followed
by earnest exhortations to continue in
the work, which we're we'll received. 1t
was a pleasure to him, the gentleman
said to see this hourishing young con-
gregatlon here in the pioneer district of
the Lutheran church. Rev. Kinzinger
would have occupied the pulpit of St.
Paul's Lutheran church at Los Angeles
last Sunday but for the fact that he and
his cousin, Miss Kinzinger, we're detained
by the present railway complications.
His intention is to work in the field of
his church In far away India. The prayer
of his friends is that his evangelistic en-
deavors may be abundantly blessed.
