10th TO LOSE ROSEBERY
England's National Liberal Fed.
Grafton Deplores Its Leaders
Withdrawal.
Labouchere Says the Federation Is
Extinct as a Factor in the
Liberal Party.

LONDON, Eng, Oct. 14.-The executive
committeelof the National Liberal Fedora
tion met at 2:45 o'clock this afternoon and
spent the time up to 6:30 o'clock in dis
cussing the situation. The committee has
issued a statement expressing profound
regret at Lord Rosebery's withdrawal
from the leadership of the Liberal party
and making public recognition of his
Iordship's signal services as Prime Min
lister and leader under circumstances of
unusual difficulty. The committee in its
statement recognizes also the fact that
Lord Rosebery's action IN resigning was
due to a desire on his part TO promote
unity in the Liberal ranks and rejoices
now that the party will continue TO benefit
by the late leaders character, ability and
enthusiasm.
The social reform committee has de-
cided, in view of the public feeling touch
ing personal questions, not to call meet
ing of the federation at present.
Henry Labouchere, editor OF Truth, in
an article in that journal voicing the sem
timents of the Radical members Of the
House of Commons and the supporters of
Sir William Harcourt, writes:
Nobody cares a brass farthing what the
National Liberal Federation may say or
do on any subject. The federation is ex-
tinct as a factor in the Liberal party"

FOUL MURDER or POLICEMEN.
Two Officers Shot to Death by Father and
SoH-A Third Fatally Wounded in
EHectino Their Capture.

COLUMBUS, GA. Oct. 14.-About 2:SO
O'Clock this afternoon, ]. A. White,
shoemaker, and Henry White, his son,
foully murdered two policemen on Thir-
teenth street, in this city, and fatally
wounded another, on Sixteenth street,
shortly afterward.
There was no cause for the commission
of the crime other than. the fact that both
men had been mmoned to appear before
the Recorder tomorrow for some trivial
offense.
By the time the third policeman had
fallen crowd of over 500 armed men had
reached the scene and the murderer s
house was surrounded.
Tom Jackson, Marshal of Girard, and
Zeno Pickett, an ex-policeman OF this city,
volunteered to. run White out of his house.
Four other brave men offered to follow
them and the crowd charged Oh the house,
firing hundreds of bullets into the win
dows and doors. When the fusillade
ceased Jackson and Pickett forced open
the door, whereupon White began firing
upon them.
The two men rushed in upon him, and
after shooting him a half dozen times
dragged him into the air. Immediately
after delivering Whites body to the
crowd Pickett fell to the sidewalkfrom the
effects of what is believed to be fatal
wound. There is faint hope for his re-
cOvery.

BANDITS LOOT A TOWN.
Terrorze the Residents at ON Early Hou,
in the Morning, Fire Buildings and
Make Their Escope.


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 14.-The lit
tie town of Peryear, in Henry County,
near the Kentucky border, had a very
unpleasant experience early this morning.
The residents were aroused from their
peaceful slHmbers at clock by the noise
of firearms discharged in the street. Those
who hurried out to find out what was the
cause of the shooting hurried back again
even more quickly, for they found that
the town was in the possession of a gang
of robbers, eight in number and all
masked.
The robbers kept up an almost incessant
firing, and whenever one of the citizens
showed himself he was ordered to return
indoors and not show himself again under
pain of death.
The desperadoes, after sufficiently in
timidating the citizens with show of
force, proceeded to plunder the stores
that took their fancy. They then set fire
to several buildings and fed to the
country.
The citizens at once sailed forth and
after subduing the fires, which amounted
to but little, posse of armed and de-
termined men gathered and started in
pursuit of the robbers. The chase is such
close one that there is little chance OF
the robbers getting away.
The amount the robbers stole is not vet
definitely known. 1t is believed that they
got away with at least $4,000 in money, and
in addition to that they took considerable
property of other character when they
looted the stores.

from reliable source that proposition
from the Miners Union to declare off the
strike, providing the men were reinstated,
was submitted through the Governor to
the mine managers and was unquaiifiedly
declined.
Nine of the managers claim that the
only condition on which the miners can
go to work is to declare off the strike and
depend upon their own good behavior to
get back.
The pumping proposition is almost ar
ranged, so that the downtown properties
will soon start up. The expense is to be
