Mr.. Gladstone has finally decided to
resign Office almost Immediately, and will
announce his decision in a

sense OF his advanced age and the great
strain the late arduous session imposed
upon him.

at the rejection of the Home Rule bill. II

LONDON Jan. 31-The report that Premier
Gladstone intends to resign is dis
creditedsat all the government Offices
and in political circles. Neither Lord
Rosebery, the secretary of state for foreign
affairs, nor Mr.. Gladstone's secretary, Mr..
Littleton have any information which
would lead them to believe
that there is any truth in
the story. The Pail Mall Gazette,
however, announced the fact in enormous
headlines and saying that grave political
crisis has arisen and that dissolution of
parliament is probable.
A letter was received in London today
from Biarritz, sent by Herbert Gladstone,
in which it was stated that the latter's
father was in splendid health and full of
fight for the coming season.

RAILROADS WANT ENTRANCE
Into the Big Yellowstone Park, and
Will Accordingly Ask Permission.
Bv The Associated Press.

BD The associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-The question of
opening up the Yellowstone Park and
affording better facilities for travellers in
view OF the purposes for which the area has
been reserved, is likely to become source
OF much agitation. as the character OF the
country as pleasure ground for sight
seeing, makes ii appear TO some, that il
would be dcsecration TO permit the
entrance OF steam railroads with the
accompanying large passenger traffic.
Although the national park contains
$3.50 square miles, including the proposed
timber reservations and additions, a ter
ritory larger than the State of Connecti-
cut, the only accommodations at present
are stage lines which carry about 25 passen-
gers day during three months of the year.
Great pressure is being brought to bear
upon Congress to grant rights of way to
railroad companies, and it seems probable
that this Congress will adopt policy
which viii bring about more extensive
travel.

st. Johns, N f., May 15.-Rioting con-
tinues in Bay de Verde, but speedy
termination of the trouble is considered
certain as the English man-of-war Cleo
patra, which arrived here to-day, will
sail for that place tomorrow. The whole
district is in commotion and fights are
most frequent. Meetings of the several
candidates are invaded by opposing fac
tions and struggle then takes place
until one crowd wins. The victorious
party then installs it's own candidate and
proceeds to hold meeting on it's own ac-
count while the members of the beaten
party scour the place in search of rein
forcements. Securing these they return
to do battle for possession of the meet
ing place. Colonial Secretary Merine was
attacked at Broad Cove on Friday night,
but drew a revolver and threatened to
shoot if any one attempted to lay hands
upon him. He then got a peaceful hear
ing though he was attacked again under
cover of darkness after the meeting
closed and was somewhat injured. Sew
eral other government speakers were at
tackled in other localities. The White
wayiteS were attacked at Freshwater,
Verris Cove, the platform from which
they were to speak was demolished and
the speakers were driven from the village
followed by yelling crowds. 1t is impossi-
BILE to conjecture how the election will
terminate. Both parties declare that
their success is certain. Meanwhile the
leaders of each are sending reinforce
ments to the various districts where
elections will be held.

WASHING SMOKE.
A New Method of Dealing With the.
Nuisance i'm Cities.

A New Method of Dealing With the
Nuisance i'm Cities.
Washing air of it's impurities by pass
ing it through water scheens or through
chambers into which water is profusely
sprayed, is a well known and much
used process in heating and ventilating
practice Its merits were cOnclusively
demonstrated years ago, and ever since
advantage has been taken Of them in
large ventilating installations in which
their expense was warranted, and
where a smoky and an unclean outside
atmosphere suggested the desirability
of submitting the air to some cleansing
process before allowing it to pass into
buildings. It is not surprising, there
fore, that q somewhat analogous meth
cd should have suggested itself as OF
likely service in dealing with the now
so much discussed smoke problem, and
that it should have been tried with en-
couraging results. At any rate, news
paper paragraph, now going the rounds,
tells of it's application by ain English
factory owner, whose repeated conflicts
with the local smoke Ordinan ce prompt"
ed experiments in this direction, and
apparently with perfect satisfaction.
According to the published description,
somewhat indefinite, perhaps, in few
respects, the apparatus used by him
consists of a large castiron tank, in
which is slotted barrel, which is filled
with perforated heaters, and the tank
I, ntNYp In
is drawn into the barrel from the ma
chinery by a powerful fan, and under
goes a scrubbing process. The barrel
rotates very rapidly, churning up the
smoke with the water. On the top OF
the barrel are several seml-clrcular
trays or sieves, which are perforated,
and effect the purpose of further wash
ing the smoke, The smoke which es-
caDes from the beaterS is caught again
by these sieves and dashed down again
by very fine spray of water from the
beaters. The back sludge of solid mat
ter is forced to the top of the chamber
and thrown over into q chute, which
conveys it to wooden tank. The
smoke which finally escapes from the
machine is said to be comparatively iII
offensive, and there is certainly good
reason to believe that this should be
so.
1t is interesting to note, moreover,
that the use of the apparatus does not
end with the cleansing of the smoke.
The black deposit gathered by it is
taken off in barrels to be used in the
making of paint and printing ink, yield
ing an acceptable revenue instead of
polluting the atmosphere, and the re-
manning liquid is said to have proved
itself a most valuable disinfectant.
Thus two-fold purpose is accomplish
ed, either one of which would seem to
be quite sufficient to commend the pro-
cess to manufacturing communities in
which smoke suppression is live topic.
