LONDON, Oct. S.-The London News
this morning, commenting on the earl
of Rosebery's withdrawal from the
leadership of the Liberal party, says:
Lord Rosebery has allowed himself
to be maneuvred out of the leadership.
Before he can be asked TO resume the
Iosifion he must be accorded a vote of
confidence by his colleagues and party.
The step taken by his lordship is a very
grave and lanendaole one 1t is Mr.
GlauStone's return to the field that has
been the Immediate and perhaps the
Inevitable cause Mr.. Gladstone s
enunclated policy in favor of Great
Br1taln's single-handed action in the
east, regardless of consequences, con-
dicts with the principles 10 which Lord
hoseoery has adhered. In the present
crisis, Mr.. Gladstone certainly has not
The whole nation nor the whole party
behind him in that policy
The News proceeds to argue that, al
though Mr.. Gladstone explained that he
spoke as private citizen, he cannot
civest himself of the gIamor of his old
position and the matches authority he
exercised in the party and that, there
1ore, wnen he interviewed i'm practical
politics in sense out of harmony with
tie declarations Of The recognized leader
OF the party, he obviously made the
latters position very difficult.
The News article concludes by say
Ing that apart from the consideration Of
his age and health the fit and proper
course is Tor Mr.. Gladstone to return
10 the leadership of the party If he is
ready for this, assuredgy everybody Will
acquiesce. Otherwise Lord Rosebery
holds the field and must be reelected.
Els lordship has altogether exagger-
ated and misconceived the opposition
to him.
The Daily Chronicle which has al
ways opposed Lord Rosebery's leader
ship, contends that the general tone of
the Liberal policy as regards the east
is not represented by Lord Rosebery.
The Chronicle pays a high tribute to
his honesty and states that vt recog-
Mics his high qualities etc, but ac-
cepts his decision.
The Chronicle adds that the imme-
diade duty of the Liberals and Radicals
is clear. Sir William Harcourt should
succeed Lord Rosebery by unquestioned
and unqEestionable right of service. The
article concludes with an expression of
JOY at the prospect Of strength and con-
fidence which opens for the first time
since Mr.. Gladstones retirement
The conservative press contends that
Lord Rosebery's resignation of the Lib
eral leadership VIII increase the division
in the ranks Of the party All of the
papers will pay a tribute to the strength
of his foreign policy.
The Times says 1T viii not be neces
s5ry to appeal TO the party to select a.
new leader. Sir William Vernon Har-
court is already in possession as IN
disputed chief in the house of commons.

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. Sit was
nearly IL o'clock today before William
J. Mills, of New Haven, Chairman Of
the executive committee of the Nation
al Democratic party, in this state.
called the state convention to order
at Footguard hill. There were about
ESQ delegates in attendance.
After few preliminaries. such as
the appointment of committees. etc.
Mr. Mills announced that Ex-Governor
Thomas Waller. of New London, had
been selected as temporary chairman Of
the convention. The mention of Gov
ernOr Walters name was received with
hearty applause and three cheers. AS
he approached the rostrum, the ex-
governor was greeted with renewed
cheering. He spoke in part as follows:
1 take pleasure in reporting that
all the members of the delegation Of
which 1 was the chairman, were as
earnestly opposed as 1 was to the So
cialism, the POpulism, the trampism,
the Tillmanism and the 16-to-1-ism of
the Chicago platform, though one or
two of them, who have since their re-
turn, been lost, strayed or stolen
were not quite so intense. I am for
the defeat of
THE CHICAGO USURPERS
and their Populist allies, first of all, by
somebody, sure; by National Demo-
Gratis, under the blue and the gray and
the leadership of Palmer and Buck
ner-men we revere and honor. if it
can be done; if not, by national pa
triots from whatever parts they come.
or whatever banner they bear; if it
is not red and has not upon it the 16-
to-1 hierogliphics or the faces of either
Altgeld or Tillman.
sThis is not an ordinary political
contest in which we are enlisted, and
in which the laws of party discipline
prevail. 1t is a sectional, socialist war
fare, in which every man must do
what his conscience dictates is best
for the good of his country and his
party too, with respect, but without
regard to what others do"
The resolutions reported by the COM
mittee on platform were adopted. The
currency plank is as follows:
while we favor the most liberal use
of silver consistent with the enforce
ment of a gold standard. we are IN
alterably opposed TO the free coinage
of silver, deeming it a device for the
DEBAsEMENT OF OUR CUR,
RENCY,
and the compulsory purchase OF silver
by the government Under existing
circumstances to pay public debts in

vate debts in the same coin is TO rob

the free coinage of silver means the
destruction of legitimate business and
great suffering among the laborlnS
classes

registration throughout the city and
state closed yesterday. 1t is much
more complete than was expected.
There are about 100000 registered
voters in the state. and this years
registration probably will come within
$1,000 of that number It was thought
the Democrats would not get out
their men, but in spite of the lack of
money. etc, the Democrats are well
registered. This viii have some effect
upon the estimates for November.
For the first time in the recent his
tory of the state. there will be a really
fair election this fall. The new election
law, which will be in operation for the
first time. gives equal representation
on election boards to both parties and
the character of the men appointed is
much higher than ever before.

Very Bitter Controversy Between
Prominent Politicians in Georgia.
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-A Tribune spec
ial from Atlanta, Ca. says: 1t is not
unlikely that bloodshed may result from
the bitter personal controversy between
Chairmen Clay and Cunningham of the
Democratic and Populist state execu-
tive committees, which has so far ex-
plotted itself in newspaper cards only.
Ii with be remembered that Clay de-
bounced Cunningham personally in q
speech made last Saturday. Cunning
ham retaliated two days ago, with a
card, in which he characterized Clay
as "a common liar and coward"
To this Clay replied that he could pay
no attention to personal attacks until
the campaign was over. Last night,
after the closing of the polls. Chairman
Clay came TO Atlanta from his home in
Marietta in search of Cunningham and
should the two men meet a tragedy IS
regarded as certain.

TOXIC, Japan, Sept. -[Correspon-
dence of the United Associated
Presses. 1.-The ministerial crisis in
Japan has at length been terminated
by the appointment of a new cabinet
under the presidency of Count Matsu-
kata. Nearly three weeks were re-
quired to re-cast the ministry.
AS for the policy of the new ministry
Count MatSukata has to choose be-
tween augmenting the revenue by adj
ditional taxation or diminishing the ex-
penditures. AT present, he inclines to-
ward the latter alternative, his plan
being to extend from seven to ten years
the completion of the programme of
military expansion, approved by the
diet last session. The increase of the
army to half million men by the year
1902 is, in some respects, a sentimental
measure. For long time to come
Japan cannot be in a position to util-
ize such a force abroad, and she has
no apparent need of it at home. But
the nations statesmen evidently feel
romantic reluctance to beStow upon
the navy a greater measure of foster
ing care than upon the army, though
the former certainly needs such atten-
ton much more than the latter. Hence
if Count Matsukata can carry out the
modification he contemplates the coun-
try's belligerent capacity will not be
impaired and the financial strain will
be sensibly relieved. But he has to an
ticipate much opposition and will prob
ably see his proposals negatived by a
large majority in the diet at the close
of the year. There will then be no al
tentative except an appeal to the coun-
try, and if the new diet maintains a
dissentient attitude-as may be conf
IDENTIFY expected-the ministry must re-
sign, for its leading spirit, Count
Okuma, is irrevocably pledged to the
system of party cabinets and cannot
with any semblance of consistency
hold office in defiance of a hostile ma
jority in the lower house. Thus the life
of the new cabinet may be reckoned at
some eight months.

house in the tenderloin district in San
Francisco. He is an old man now and
will never again be able to gain wealth
and social prominence.
Monday night Notner came to the
police station and was given a bed.
Tuesday he was brought in as drunk.
The following day he was before Judge
Wenger, who found him guilty and
suspended the sentence. Notner can't
reform now and about 8 o'clock last
night he was taken in custody by an
officer and Will now, in all pro-
liability, have to serve a sentence in
jail which has come to be looked upon
as home to him these latter years.

Was Wholly Unexpected.

LONDON, Oct. SIN the political
clubs, it was not expected that Lord
Rosebery would resign the leadership
of his party at present despite the agi-
tation against him. The advanced Lib
erals desire a more progressive and
aggressive policy. though a large sec
ton of the party approve Lord Rose
bery's GOODNESS in a time of feverish
excitement.
Many Liberal members Of the house
of commons wired to the officers of
the Liberal party in Westminster to-
day, asking for information in regard
10 Lord Rosebery's withdrawal, and
received the reply that the ex-Premier's
letter Of resignation was wholly unex-
pected, not even Mr.. Ellis, the Liberal
whip, to whom his letter of resigna-
ton was addressed, having had a hint
that il was impending.
