and assistants worked over his body forty
five minutes before there was a sign of
life. Then natural brea thing began, and

cred three times that necessary to kill in

was received with great applause by the
opposition, and the war secretary instant
ly wrote out his resignation, which he
forwarded to the prime minister to pre-
sent to the queen. An informal cabinet
meeting was hurriedly summoned by Lord
Rosebery, but no decision was arrived
at as to whether the Government should
dissolve or ignore the defeat as being the
result of a snap vote

Forward, and while being taken to jail

Crisis in Great Britain.

Lord Rosebery rendered his sigma ion
to the queen during his recent visit TO
Windsor He advised the queen TO send
for Lord Salisbury The former tory
premier went down TO Windsor and ac-
cepted the task of forming a government
in the present parliament Lord Rose
berry and Sir William Harcourt announc-
ed the resignation of the liberal ministry
in their respective houses Monday after
noon.
BY technical ruSe, almost impossible
to explain to American readers because of
the totally different procedure in parlia-
ment as compared with the American Con-
gress. the ministry will avoid declaring
itself before the present parliament and
force dissolution and general election
within the next three weeks. If this is
successful the real purposes of the resig-
nation of the liberal ministry will be de-
fea ted. This was To compel the tories 10
submit policy to parliament before going
to the country. Whether or not the lib
erals can checkmate this programme re-
mains TO be seen. If they still have ma
jority they can possibly DO so. Certainly
the next few weeks will make an epoch in
the parliamentary history of Great Brit
ain, since Lord Roscbery cannot now
withdraw his resignation. The Irish lead
ers are urging their liberal allies to stand
firm in demanding declaration in parlia
ment of the tory program. The truth Is,
however, that they are profoundly dis
gusted with the situation.
Rosebcry's Brief Term "a Premier.
Earl Eosebery was offered the office of
prime minister by the queen on March 3,
1894, Mr.. Gladstone having offered his
resignation on account of his failing eye
sight. Lord ROsebery had occupied the
position of foreign secretary in Mr.. Glad
stones cabinet and had been prominently
considered for ten years past as the proba-
BILE successor of Mr.. Gladstone in the
leadership of the liberal party when the
time for the retirement of that gentleman
should come. About the only objection
urged against the appointment as premier
was that the leader of the party should
be 4 member of the house of commons and
that the party cannot be managed from
the house of lords. Lord Rosebery, upon
assuming the premiership. took the place
of first lord of the treasury in the cabinet
and called the Earl of Kimberley TO sue
coed himself as foreign secretary. The
leadership in the house of commons was
intrusted TO Sir William Vernon HarcOurt,
who retained his place in the cabinet as
chancellor of the eXchcquer. The retire
ment of Mr.. Gladstone was considered a
severe strain upon the government, and
many persons looked for the defeat OF the
liberals and the resignation of the cabinet
at that time.

RESULTS I'M TWO DEATHS.
Accident on the Whaleback Christie
pher Columbus.


The result of the accident on the whale
back steamer Christopher Columbus on q
voyage from Milwaukee to Chicago Satur-
day night was the death of two men. fatal
injury to another, three seriously scalded
and seven slightly burned. The accident
was caused by the bursting of a steam
pipe. 1t was the homeward run of the
whaleback in its opening summer eXcur-
sion to Milwaukee. About $50 souls We're
aboard. Flying flags, with music and
dancing, was the order of the evening
The accident on the Christopher Co
lumbus, according TO the engineering a1l-
thorities. is one of the unaccountable
things that occasionally occur in steam
plants. A cast-iron pipe eight inches in
diameter and three-quarters of an inch
thick suddenly cracked around its entire
circumference under steam pressure of
less than 100 pounds. after having pre-
viously stood a test pressure of 255 pounds
to the inch. The stories of the accident
being caused by straining in Il race with
the Virginia are denied by every officer of
the Columbus.
The circumstances, as related 10y the
boat officers, were as follows: The cylin-
ders of the engine were entirely new. and
it would be destructive and dangerous TO
run them at high speed until the parts
wore down. Two representatives of the
engine builders were on board and con-
stantly reminded the engineers not to use
speed. Chief Engineer Webster saws the
speed was ninety revolutions, whereas the
boat has made 1:'0 Il minute. and steam
pressure was 100 pounds TO the square
inch. while the government allows 40.
Captain Robert Smith says that he had
reckoned the speed just before the explo-
sion and it was about sixteen miles an
hour. The whaleback has made twenty
one miles an hour. As further evidence
of the fact that nhere was no race the
statement is made that the Virginia had
passed the whaleback and was two miles
ahead
