THE NEW PREMIER.
Something About the Record of the
Earl of ROseberY.

New YORK, March 3-The Evening
Worlds London special says: The real
personality of Archibald Philip Primrose,
Earl of Rnsebery, is difficult to describe,
because less seems 10 be known OF him than
any public man in Great Britain. In all of
the agitation Of the past few days, in which
lie has been figure hardly less conspicu-
Gus than Gladstone himself. not single
new fact has been developed concerning
him. He has the reticence, as to his pri-
vate life, of ParnPll, with no intimates,
but with the faculty of davoting to his
personal service men of every class in life.
Herbert Asquith. the Radical leader of
the future. is his nearest friend. He
has apparently almost all the united sun
port of the IIish Nationalist party. al
though l am told not single member of
the Irish party ever met him out of the
strict line OF parliamentary business.
Reticent almost as recluse, as he is born
to the purple and immensely rich. he has
an enthusia -.ic following, and perhaps the
affections of the trades unions, the rural
laborers and the urban workman. He has
the respect and esteem of his own class,
the confidence Of the tradesmen, manu-
facturers and merchants of his country.
and the cordial liking of the Qneen. From
a boyhood acquaintance hear at Eton he
was known as very correct, quiet sort of
lad, who prided himself chiefly upon
neatn ess in dress. When he went up to
Oxford ne was considered by friends at
Christchurch fairly clever and excellent
talker. He did not 60 In for honors and

THEIR EDEN ASSURED
Decision in the Famous Temple
Lot Controversy.
Judge Phillips Declares That the
Branch Founded by Prophet Smith
Owns the Property.

KANSAS CITY, March 3-The famous
Temple Lot" sacred piece of Mormon
soil IN Independence, for which the Nor
mons have been fighting In the courts.
las been decided to be the property of the
Joseph Smith branch OF the Mormon
church. The decision was given by
Judge Phillips in the District Court this
afternoon. The Independence faction OF
the Mormous is by the opinion enjoined
from asserting title 70 the pruperty. The
cloud is removed and full possession al.
lotted 20 he plaintiff.
The successful organization has its head
quarters at Lamont, Iowa. Its following
numbers $4,000 souls, and its pI esldent is
Joseph Smith Jr.. the son of the Prophet
Joseph Smith, the founder Of Mormon
ism. Besides settling the title to the much
priZed TEN le lot. which Is known among
Mormons as the Garden of Eden," the
option incidentally finds from the evil
dence that the Reorgsnized Church of Lat
ter-day Saints at Lamont, Iowa, is the
real church, founded in 1880 by the Prophet
Joseph Smith, and that the factions OF
the Mormon church in Utah and Indepen-
dence are offshoots Of the mother church
and have departed from the teachings OF
the prophet.
The temple lot comprises a block OF
property 800 feet square located on one oi
the highest eminenceS in Independence.
In Judge Phillips decision the deeds, re-
ceipts and other papers are quoted to show
that the church of which Joseph Smith
was prophet was The true church and the
owner of the temple lot. After the killing
of Smith at Carthage, ILL.,. in June. 1S44, a
disiutegration set in and the church split
into factions. The true church under
Joseph Smith was established at Lamont,
Iowa. Another branch went with Brig
ham Young and third remained at Inde-
pendence.
Incidentally to the decision Judge Phil
ips numerically scores the Utah poly ga
mist church. He says: 'Among a quorum
of twelve representing the apostles was
Brigham Young, a man OF intellectual
power and aggressive, II not audacious.
He led a greater portion of the Mormons
TO Salt Lake, Utah. From this settlement
sprang powerful body known as the Sail
Lake or Utah church. There can be no
question that Brigham Young's assumed
presidency was bold. Still bolder was bis
usurpation of the book of the doctrine
given Joseph Smith as president Of the
church.. The book taught clearly that the
succession should descend lineally and gc
TO the first born, and Joseph Smith &C
taught. and before bis taking off publicly
proclaimed his son his successor a3d he
was so announced. Young's assumption
of Office was itself departure from the
law of the church. The book of Mormon
prom ouuced the severest anathema against
the crime of polygamy."

withdraw such splendidly concerted boom
for Lord Rose berry that The members took
it for granted that this was a part of
Gladstone's programme. and hence the
whole matter was cut and dried, and l am
positive now that some of them did try,
indeed. to upset the latter part of the ar
rangement, as they understood it, but no
one thought until too late of appealing to
Gladstone not to proceed with the first
half of is.
This was tragic enough, but it was rem
dered worse by the almost universal error
of assuming that Gladstone desired Rose
berry to succeed him. The actual truth is
that he desired nothng else so little, and
So far his action can be said to have
been dictated by the influences external to
his own complex mind. 1t Is Rosebery's
associations which have driven Gladstone
out of Office. 1t is one of the bitterest OF
all regrets which must be filling the
aged Premier's mind to-day that he has
been succeeded in Office by Rose berry. HIS
unexpected and for him violent attack on
| the House of Lords in that painful vale
dictory speech on Thursday was the last
attempt on his part to hint TO his some
what seek-minded party the unwisdom OF
| choosing peer for their new leader. Un-
| happily they still have not grasDed what
he meant them to see al once. To the very
end he was too subtle for his crowd.
The story of the resignation itself is like
the chronicle of any of Gladstone's mental
progressions. 1t is difficult to tell without
mass of analytical detail. much or most
| of which would have to he guessed at.
| Stated as briefly as possible, he became
oEyinced some months ago that he was
becoming blind. Now. one episode in his
career of which he reminds himself often
est is his own stern exclusion of Henry
| Fawcett from the Cabinet on the ground
that he. being blind, must be read to by a
secretary, who would thus share all
the Cabinets secrets. This objection
was rather ridiculously formal, for
1t is we'll known that some of his other
| Ministers, as for example Harrington, with
| his secretary. Reginald Brett, never
dreamed OF observing the letter of Cabi-
| nets secrecy regulations, but it is precisely
the kind of objection that would appeal to
| Gladstone's mind. The personal aliena.

he thinks much OF in his old age. Accord.

seemed to threaten him he said he would
not remain in the Cabinet, If it came to The
point that he could not read Cabinet paper;

stage was rapidly approaching he wen
further; be SAID he would retire at the enc
of the present session.
The tact that he had said this was in
stantly conveyed to the Pail Mali Gszett,
and published in that famous big type par
agraph. Gladstone has gone out becaus,
those officially close about him did not dis
semitic their willingness that he shoulC
go. and the party at large did not under,
stand that he wanted to be dissuaded from
going. 1t is patheiically striped curtain

rose early and took his cOnstituTionalin the
grounds. He looked well and was in the
highest spirits. Later in the day memb bers
of the Privy Council left for Windsor and
on their arrival the council meeting took
place. There can be no doubt that Glad
stone officially rendered his resignation OF
the Premiership. He left Windsor at 3
O'Clock this afternoon in company with
the other Cabinet Ministers.
The route to the station was thronged
with people. who cheered Gladstone heart
lily. 1t is stated he will spend the spring
on the Continent. After the departure Of
the Ministers the Queen sent her private
secretary to London to summon LORD
Rosebery, Gladstone's probable successor,
TO Windsor. Rosebery left for his destina-
tion at p. N.
Gladstone has received many kilograms
from Ireland embodyiDg resolutions ask
ing him not to resign. Rosebery was in
constant consultation with members OF
the Cabinet during the forenoon.
1t was officially announced this evening
that the Queen had accepted the resigna-
