vanished, however, when they learned
that the authorities did not propose 10

create any disturbance. Soon after this

RosEBERY REAPPEARs.
He Opens the New Liberal Club Mt
scarborough.


scarborough.
London, Oct. 1s.-Eari Rosebery made
his first political appearance since a short
time prior to the recent general election
by formally opening a new liberal club at
Scarborough this afternoon. In his ad-
dress the ex-premier said that the prihci-
pal surprise at the last election was the
extreme gullibility Of the electorate. The
conservatives had promised to find en-
ployment for the unemployed, to give pen
sions to those who were unwilling to work
and make a pint pot hold a quart. That
such promises should have been. success
ful after a quarter Of a century of compul-
sory education in the United Kingdom,
he regarded as most disappointing. 1t was
the duty of the liberals, he said, to edu-
cate the people to realize the limits of state
benevolence. The primary question, how
ever, was that Of the present constitution
of the House Of Lords, which fact the
country must realize.
After the ceremonies Of opening the club
had been concluded Lord Rosebery was
entertained at luncheon by the members,
to whom he again made a speech, saying
he was glad that the Sultan Of Turkey
had complied with the demands made upon
him for reforms in Armenian affairs by
the powers. That, his lordship declared,
was one step in the right direction, but the
powers had yet to see that the decree was
carried into effect.

Rejected by the Lower House.

pal deputies inaugurated the business Of
the fifteenth days session this morning

sion this afternoon.

Technical amendments to the canon re-
lating to the composition of the mission
airy council of the church were reported
by DR.. Davenport of Tennessee and after
being discussed at length, were laid aside
for further alteration.

when Dean Hoffman, from the committee
on the conservation of bishops, presented
a supplementary report sending back to
the bishops their nomination of Rev. j
NJ. Francis as bishop of the new mis-
siOnary jurisdiction of Kyota, Japan, on
the ground that the house had not been
consulted concerning the creation of the
proposed Jurisdiction and had no infor-
nation that such jurisdiction had been
canonically created. The deputies were
evidently. inclined to be Jealous Of their
vested rights, for when the question on
the adoption of the report was put not a
voice was raised in the negative, and the
message of the bishops was returned 10
them instanter. After this matter had
been disposed OF the house went INTO exec
utive session.

But No One Hurt.

But NO One hurts

laden, was sunk in collision with the
steamer w. II. Gilbert. at Rains Island
just above Sailors Encampment. in the
500 river, at o'clock this morning The
America attempted to pass the steamer
Penobscot in the channel on the port
side, the suction caused the sterns Of the
two steamers to lock together, swinging
the Americas bow over on the bank with
the stern in mid stream. Before a move
could be made to right the America, the
steamer Gilbert, bound down, crashed into
her just forward of the boiler house. the
force of the collision swinging the Amer
ica's stern until 1t was straight with the
channel. The America filled instantly
and sank. Her decks, however, are out
of water, and she will probably be raised
withelittle difficulty.
The America is owned by the Kelder-
house syndicate of Buffalo and is val
ued at $3.50 900. She is insured for her fun
value. The Gilbert was apparently un-
injured. All of the crew of the America
escaped injury.
An examination of the sunken steamer
shows that while several plates are
cracked no bad hole has been cut in her
side, and wreckers say she can be floated
in tWenty-fOur hours.

were caught for over $4,000, but in some
instances Col. W. +. Taylor, as president
of the barrel company, has approved of
