aLADsroNE's RETIREMENT.
The Days Developme ments Tend to Con-
firm the Truth of the Rumor.

firm the Truth of the Rumor.
London, Feb. 2s-The Edinburg Even
ing News to-day repeats emphatically
that Mr.. Gladstone has resigned the pre-
miership, and that it has been offered to
Lord Rosebery.
The Times declares that whatever is
done about the leadership, it is certain
that home rule will be- dropped, and
neither Lord Rosebery nor Sir William
Vernon Harcourt is likely TO revive it.
The Times adds: "However they may
differ upon either point, they know per-
fectly well that the British public is sick
of paying blackmail to criminal conspira.
tors. ''-
The st. James Gazette says that the al
ready widely published comments upon
the statements made have diminished
the weight of the official denials. The
increasing reticence of his encourage is
regarded as an actual intimation OF the
possibility Of Mr.. Gladstone's withdrawal
at any moment.
THE IRISH QUESTION.
Mr.. Gladstone is understood TO have
made proposafto his colleagues to re-
vive the home rule question in the shape
of resolution pledging the House of
Commons to deal with home rule for Ire
land at the following session oil parlia-
ment. This proposal IS said not to have
found favor with the cabinet minister.
The Independent, of Dublin, accepts
the reports of Mr. Gladstone's retirement
as meaning that the movement in favor Of
home rule will be dropped
The Freeman's Journal party will con-
tinue to insist that the settlement of the
Irish question is TO be the controlling ex-
citement of whatever ministry governs.
GLADSTONE WITH THE QUEEN.
The Central News bulletins the state
ment that Mr. Gladstone drove from
Downing street to Buckingham palace at
3 O'Clock and had an audience of an hours
duration with the queen. He did not
tender his resignation. That Mr.
Gladstones eyesight has grown
so much worse, that an operation
will be soon necessary, almost everybody
believes and it is understood that he in
formed his colleagues that for this reason
he would be compelled to retire, though
he hoped his retirement would only be
temporary.
The liberal papers insist that in the
event of his retirement home rule will
survive, but the conservative papers take
the opposite view.
MERELY QUESTION OF DAYS.
The Westminster Gazette says the re-
tirement of Mr. Gladstone Is now merely
question of days or weeks, rather than
months His retirement however, must
not shelve the question Of heme rule,
which is still the leading and dominant
factor in the situation. Whoever shall
follow Mr. Gladstone must nail the green
flag 10 the mast.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that be-
sides the physical and political reasons
for Mr.. Gladstone's retirement, he has
never liked the ideas of the new radical
ism Outside Of the question of home
rule. he is a staunch whig. II Mr..
Gladstone remains in the cabinet shis
successor to the premiership viii have a
barren and difficult career.

Member Of the Alvin Joslyn Com
pany-The Murderer MoNabb of the
Baltimores-The Cause of the Tra-
gedy Unknown.
Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. ga terrible
tragedy was enacted at the Hotel E,inel, at
5OSSmithtield street at 80 O'Clock Tonight
from which Pitcher McNabb. of the Bal
timore club, is dead, and Louise Kellogg
will likely die from the result of wounds
received from pistol in the hands Of
McNabb.
Louise Kellogg was member of the
Alvin Joslyn Theatrical Company, and
came here from New York to-day. She
met McNabb a short time before s:80
O'Clock tonight, and they went to the hotel
where a room was engaged,
THE DISCOVERY
A young man named Gillen, a friend Of
both McNabb and the Kellogg woman.
went up to their room about $50
o'clock TO call on them. He heard the
woman tgroaning and called for help.
AS u is right across from the city hall, In
spector McKelvy and several officers were
soon on the scene. The door was burst
open and a bloody sight met their gaze.
On the floor lay the woman with three
bullet wounds in her head and neck.
McNabb was lying beside her with two
shots through the head that killed him al.
most instantly.
Tho woman was taken to the homes
opathic hospital. She can hardly re-
cover. McNabb's body was removed to
the morgue.
THE FIRING NOT HEARD.
There was a fire few doors above the
hotel at the time McNahb did the shoot
ing. This caused much excitement in the
vicinity and the motel people did not even
hear the shots fired McNabh evidently
meant murder when he went TO the room.
Tor ne was only there short time before
he did the shooting. Louise Kellogg's
right name is Mrs. r. f. Rockwell. and
she has husband living at Seattle,
Wash. Kellogg was her stage
name. Her parents live at BraddocR.
near this city. Unless she regains con-
sciousness, the cause of the shooting may
never be known.
A THEORY OF THE TRAGEDY.
Louise Kellogg or Mrs. Rockwell the
woman's right name, is the wife of the
president OF the California Base Ball
League. From what could be learned
from young Gillen after the shooting,
Miss Kellogg was endeavoring TO break
on her relations with McNabb. A
number of letters belonging TO Miss
Kellogg showed that she had
been keeping McNabb supplied with
money for the past few months. The
company she was with disbanded some
time ago, and she came here with the
probable intention of either staying with
her parents in Braddock, or getting
money TO tide her over until she procured
another engagement. McNabb met her
here, and as the woman was probably
trying to break of her intimacy with him,
this probably prompted McNabb to shoot
the woman and himself

RICHTER RAISES THE ROOF.
Bennigsen's Assault Resented in
Speech Full of Personalitiea


Berlin, Feb 2S.-To-day's debate in the
Reichstag on the German Russian treaty
was very exciting. DR. Won Bennigsen,
the leader of the national liberals, hav-
ing made a speech yesterday in which he
decried the Richter radicals. Eugene
Richter rose to reply TO him to-day. He
began with violent assault upon DR..
Won Benuigsen, and his remarks to
the end bristled with personalities. He
denounced the assertion that he and his
colleagues were and had been opposed to
the government ever since 1870 as false.
The opposition of the radicals TO the gov
ernment, he said, had been confined to
resisting curtailment ef the constitutional
rights Of the German states in the
keiehstag whenever such attempts lhad
been made. He deplored the spectacle
OF DIR. Won Bennigsen defending
the conservative aristocraoy, which
he said, had proved itself
unable TO fulfill the demands of modern
times, or to meet the requirements of the
people The Richterites, he claimed,
had closed their ranks and stood firm IN
support of the government, whereas the
conservative and clerical divisions were
wholly responsible for tke existing doubt
as to the fate of the treaty.
Herr Lieber said that a portion of the
clerical party believed that the rejection
Of the treaty would be a national disaster
Nevertheless. others of the party op-
posed the measure avowedly because
they believed its operations would be
more advantageous to Russia than to
Germany.
THE MILITARY POLICY ATTACKED.
Herr Lieber attacked the governments
military policy, He believed that Ger
many's armaments were too heavy, and
therefore measures tending TO relieve the
country of the burden they imposed
ought TO be supported
Herr Schultz, social democrat, sup
ported the arguments of Herr Lieber. but
in such violent terms that he was fire.
quently called TO order. He vehemently
assailed Chancellor Won Caprivi, and de-
clared that Prince Bismarck would never
have made such concessions as were
granted by the treaty. Better, he said,
ten years in penal seryitude than two
years German farmer under its opera
tion.

sIoILY's UPRISING.
The Conspiracy Fomented by Anaroh-
lists at MarseilIes.

Rome, Feb. 28.-In the Chamber of
Deputies today Signor Crfspi the prime
minister, explained the governments
reasons for proclaiming a state of siege in
Sicily. Documents which came into pos
session of the authorities at Massa di
Carrara proved the existence of
socialist and anarchist plans 10
reorganize and repeat their up
rising on o. scale approaching
the proportions Of a revolution With this
view foreign anarchist leaders were
tiockinR to Sicily. At a meeting of for
eign and Italian anarchists recently held
in Marseilles, he said. il was resolved to
foment an uprising of the peasants in
Sicily, promises to be made to the peas
antry To divide the,Iands among them.
This outbreak was TO occur during
1894, when, according to the
representations of the conspirators, a
foreign war would break out. Piedmont
would be invaded and a Russian fleet
would occupy Italian waters These dis
coveries having been made, the govern
ment promptly seized all the anarchist
property and documents to be found and
proclaimed a state of siege
The statement of Signor Crispi, and the
documents he mentioned, made profound
impression upon the chamber.

the petitioners and the railroad

that such debt is lien superior to any
