of oampbell-Bannerman's defeat last


night.
The burden of the conviction in Liberal
circles tonight is that the Ministry will
hold on and try to get vote of confidence
Monday, when there will be a decisive trial
of strength. Nobody knows clearly what
happened in the two Cabinet councils to-
day, but this is the notion that leaked out.
My own feelings are that there will be
breakup next week. All the Liberal
papers are making great hullaballoo
about last nights adverse vote having
been achieved by trick, and some even
impute personal dishonesty to Mr.. Bal
four, but these tales are valueless.
1t was not the opposition which won the
victory, but the Liberals that lost it. Mr..
Balfour's face was the color of sheet when
it was announced. 1t was the last thing
that he desired. The truth is that the
English people are nervous at this moment
about their army especially about their
stores and ammunition, since cordite has
been adopted, and the House of Commons
really reflected this feeling in its vote.
The most curious thing in to-night's
cloud of rumors is the story that Mr.. Glad
stone is to come back and lead the party in
the coming fight. 1t is not true, but it is
touching proof of the despair in which
Lord Roseberys mismanagement has
plunged the party. Whatever happens,
ana if there be dissolution now, the
Liberals will meet cruel beating. Every
body is protesting that Lord Rosebery
must not come back again.
The Duke of Cambridge's offer to retire
next October seemed on it's announcement

CHICAGO, ILL, June 22.-This after
noon Postoffice Inspector Stuart and sey-
eral assistants arrested Patrick Germ,
Robert Evans, Charles Burch and Law
renee Guinan at the Hotel Sterling on
Michigan avenue on the charge of having
sent large numbers of 'green goods" cir
cuars through the mails during the past
two weeks. The party was caught while
making deal with Inspector Mercer, who
was supposed to be an Iowa farmer with
$4,000, to exchange his money for green
goods. He was aided by a friend, Walter
]. Wilson of Corning, Iowa, who had re-
ceiyed one of the circulars. While the
prisoners were being taken to the station,
Germ tried to pass package to confeder-
ates, but Inspector Christian drove them
away at the point of his revolver. All
were committed to jail.

TOPEKA, KANs., June 22.-The friends
of General Solicitor George R. Peck of the
Santa Fe have started movement to
make him candidate for the Republican
nomination for President. James R.
Hollowell a prominent Kansas leader, met
by appointment here to-day number of
his friends, who believe Peck would be a
strong candidate in the West. Hollowell
left for Chicago to meet and confer with
Illinois Republicans about the possible
candidacy. Hollowell has just returned
from Arkansas where he conferred with
the Republican leaders of that State. 1t is
understood that Richard Kerens of Mis-
souri,, T. L. Rosewater of Nebraska and S..
B. Elkins of West Virginia are favora BILE to
Peck. The men who are advocating Peck
say he is the only man who can carry the
Kansas delegation for the Republicans,
and that as Illinois is in the doubtful
column, Peck's nomination would insure
both for the Republicans.

All others who are interested in athletics,

and, with a band, will be escorted up to
the Olympic Club rooms, where recep-

Professor George G. Edwards, the father

They are entitled to the thanks of all
athletes in California he said yesterday,
''for what they have done will do more
than anything that has happened to de-

But, much more than that, they are enti-

to. be most gracious and important piece
of news. 1t ceased to be so important
when the existence of the Government
itself WAS thrown into the balance couple
of hours later. If the Tories are to come
into power the Dukes retirement will
mean nothing more than the Duke of Con-
na1lght's succession to the post and an in
definite postponement of the army re-
forms which all progressive Britons have
sodeeply at heart.
There is more than chance that the
Parnellites will win the vacancy in Cork.
The Nationalist Committees selection of
j. f. Xavier 'Brien as its candidate is the
worst possible. He is blundering old
fellow, whose folly about the Glad
stone and Tweedmouth checks cost the
party so heavily in prestige, and if the
Parnellites nominate Joseph Nolan, backed
by the money of the Cork brewers, it is
believed that he will win the seat.

The Stafford Springs Fair-Oct. 8, 9 and 10.
 The management of the Stafford Springs Agricultural Society has shown good judgement in selecting the leading attrac- tiOn for the three days of the annual fair Bristol and his trained horses have won a well-desPrved reputation for being one of the best attractions in the amusement world. It is said of the horses that they can do everything but talk. They walk up and down stairs like human beings, and show almost as much intelligence az some men, and more than others. The aggregation includes the only horse with white skin on earth, the smallest pony in the world, and the best educated mule ever exhibited. Prof. W. M. Bristol, the owner and trainer of these handsome horses, is typical go-ahead American, and owes his success to his push and abil- ity in his chosen line of work.
 Those who have seen the De We're fam fly speak highly of their ability. The sisters De We're and T. A. DeVere appear in series of pleasing feats of artistic gymnastics very pleasing to the specta- tors. Maggie and George DeVere in their act combine all the best elements of posturing and eontottion.

derful feats of hand-balancing never fail of applause. Mile Minnie, in her globe act, is perhaps the most pleasing per- former of the combination There are few things more pleasing and interesting than to watch the evolutions of graceful and pretty woman on a rolling globe, and in this art Mile Minnie Is perfection. Though requiring the exercise of great muscle and nerve force, her highly artistic performance has more the appearance Of easy amusement than of 8 difficult &C., cOmplfshment.
 Applications for ground rent during the three days of the fair are coming in, and 1t Is evident that the fakirs will be here in all their glory. These smOoth-spOken young men help to make things lively, provided 1t does not cost too much to make their acquaintance. The manage ment will use every means in their power to prevent all swindling games.
 It should be remembered that 1t has taken much united effort to make the fair so successful in past years. Each exhibitor should bear in mind the fact that excellent individual exhibits com bined make a harmonious and pleasing aggregation. Each one should do as much as possible toward making the halls attractive.
 The c. A. R., W. R. 0. and s. of V. will have charge of the dining hall, as usual. The proceeds will go towards the memorial hall fund. Everybody should encourage them, and a good and easy way is to help furnish the table. Every con- tribution helps swell the receipts. Be sure and go to the c. A. R. dining hall for your dinner while at the fair.
 One of the latest attractions to be en- gagged for the fair is Mahan's trick dogs. There are five collie shepherds in the col lection, and they are said to be world beaters. They will appear each day of the fair, and their clever tricks will amuse young and old. The management are fortunate in securing this attraction. UNION.

It is generally conceded that in the main the expedition was practically a failure, but the most valuable natural history collection ever brought out of the Arctic regions was obtained.

All members of the combined party agree that this gives the death blow to any Arctic expeditions under American ansnicas for many years to come.
