London, July 6.-The Marquis Of

replied to a speech of Lord Rosebery
recently delivered before the Eighty
club, in which he attacked the house
of lords. The premier, Lord Rosebery,
stated that the house of lords had
legislative preponderance. On the con-
trary, he asserted, the lords had no
share in the voting by which govern

Continuing, the marquis asked what
the lords had done to induce Lord
Rosebery to submit a proposal which
had not been heard within parliament

merely rejected the evicted tenants

QUEER PROCEEDINGS.
Something New For the Habitues
of Court Quarters.

Kansas City, July 6.-There was a
novel proceeding today in Judge Scar
ritt's division of the circuit court when
Charles A. Brewer. a teller in the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce, was adopted
by Charles E. Banker, wealthy Iline
owner of New Mexico. The proceed
ings were unlike any other that the
lawyers and spectators about the
court house remembered having seen.
The young man who was adopted is
% years old and holds a good position
in the Bank of Commerce. His name
was changed to Charles A Brewer
Baker and becomes, in law, the same
as a natural son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Baker. The adoption was by contract
entered into like a contract for the
sale of property or for any other pur-
pose. Each contracting party agrees
to act in all respects and treat the
others as though Brewer had been a
natural sen of Mr.. and Mrs. Baker.
