All the Difference Due to Sir WaIlians
HGrcourt's Acts.
LONDON, ENG, May 4.-The st. James
Gazette this afternoon follows up the ru-
mors in the Times as to the Cabinet crisis,
and says the differences of opinion are due
to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir
William Harcourt, desiring to have the
local veto bill brought up for a second
reading Immediately.
The rest of the Cabinet Ministers are in
favor of postponing the second reading
because several Liberals will vote against
the bill, and it is consequently expected
that the Government will be defeated in
the division. Even the most sanguine sup
porters OF the measure only count upon a
majority of eight.

pired. 1t is charged that the Denver mar

A special telegram nom Redfeld
says: there is another sensation in
connection with the disappearance OF
W. w. Taylor, the defaulting state
treasurer. A few days 2 unknown
parties forced an entrance into his
house in Redfeld in which are his
household goods, held or liens OF the
state and the First National Bank,
and abstracted Taylor's full dress
suit, his silk hats. silk ties, fancy
w~aistcoars and fine linen. While there
were plenty OF valuables OF all kinds
at hand, nothing else was molested.
The robbery Is the topic OF mU2b Cos
SIP, since II leads TO surmise that Tay-
Tor must have contederates in Red
field and that these special articles
were singled out from a large quantity
OF other clothing and sent TO him or
some friend in the east for shipment
70 him. The sheriff had the doors
padlockei and bolted and entrance
was effected by ean OF a crowbar,
when an experienced burglar would
nave entered by a window. There
seems TO be no doubt but that Ger
tain partie. are either in direct COM
munication with Taylor, or with a
confederate OF the latter East. The
abstraction OF the dress suit and the
leaving untouched a multitude OF val
liable articles leads to much c~oDlect-
ure and to the query as 10 what Tay-
Tor wants with a dress suit in South
America.
