ROSEBERY'S RESIGNATION.
Commented Upon by Many British
Journals.

LONDON. Oct. S-The star" in
commenting on the resignation of Lord
Rosebery from the leadership of the
Liberal party, says:
Lord RoSebery has resigned, and Sir
William Harcourt reigns in his stead
The Liberal party will never again be
led by a peer. Mr.. Gladstone chose Lord
Rosebery as his successor to the leader
ship, and it is Mr. Gladstone who has
unwittingly deposed him."
T. p. O'Connor, NJ. P., says in his pa
per- the Sun: Lord Rosebery never
bad fair chance. Nevertheless, every
body knows that Mr. Gladstone stood
outside of the intrigues. odious bicker-
ings and miserable personalities which
has defaced and wrecked the Liberal
party since his retirement"
The Evening News says: Lord
Rosebery has played the man. He de-
clines to lead a party the rag-tag and
bob-tail of which was always barking
at his heels. Sheer ignorance has be-
trayed the radical rump into the bog
in which it is at present wallowing."
The Echo says; Lord Rosebery
throughout has .al.oA common sense
view Of the Eastern and Western situ-
alton, while the other Liberal leaders
have taken narrow and more emotional
views. Lord Rosebery's resignation
will strengthen Lord Rosebery''
The Dublin ''F'reeman's Journal" says:
Lord Rosebery daily gave striking
proof that his views of the foreign poll
icy differed from those of his party His
retirement is no surprise. 1t is his ar
rival on the road to which he has long
been travelling"

BALTIMORES WIN THE CUP.
For the Fourth Consecutive Game De.
feat the Clevelands.

CLEVELAND, Oct. S.-Baltimore won
the Temple Cup by winning to-day's
game from the Clevelands. This is the
third season Of the Temple Cup that
Baltimore has played in all the contests
for it's possession, losing 1894 to New
York, 1895 to Cleveland, and in 1896 will
take the cup home with them.
The game was a fine exhibition for
six innings, neither side scoring during
that period. Corbett was in the box for
the Orioles and was invincible. Once,
with a man on second and third, and
only one out, he kept the Spiders from
scoring. He struck out eight men, and
added to the glory of his performance
by hitting safely every time he was at
bat, one of his hits being sharp, clean
two-bagger, in addition to which he
stole a base prettily and played a gen.
eral high-class game. Cuppy pitched
beautiful ball for six innings, only four
hits being made off him up to the
seventh. In the seventh a double, fol-
lowed by a long single and three outs
resulted in two runs. Corbett singled
in the eighth, and after McGraw had
flied Keeler and Jennings doubled, Kelly
famed and Doyle singled, three runs
scoring.

HANNA AT CHICAGO.
Says the Country is Perfectly Safe
for rlCKinIey.

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-Chairman Hanna
is again at Western headquarters He
reached the city this morning, and went
directly to his room at headquarters.
An executive meeting was called at
noon, previous to which hour Mr. Hanna
spent the time in consulta ton with his
lieutenants.
Mr.. Hanna declined to express himself
as to the situation in the West, but said
the country was perfectly safe for Nc
Kinley and he would not dignity the
Democratic claims to New York by dis
cussing them. AS to the statement re-
Gently given out from Democratic head
quarters, Mr.. Hanna said he did not be-
lieve Chairman Jones was responsible
for it, and that it merely showed the
want of a competent man in charge of
the press bureau at that headquarters.
Senator Wolcott of Colorado is in the
city, and had a consultation with Mr..
Hanna regarding the situation in the
West.
A. B. Kittredge Committeeman from
South Dakota, was a caller at Republi
can headquarters to-day. He reports
the outlook encouraging. and says that
as the campaign progresses the condl-
tions improve, and serve to strengthen
the Republican position in every quar-
ter. Democrats, he says, are beginning
to settle down in their convictions in
favor of a sound money and stable cur
rency. He believes these conditions will
have marked effect on North Dakota,
and bring that State into line for Nc
Kinley in November.
Lewis E. Cook, a Newark, n. j., circus
man, unfolded a novel scheme to Com
mitteeman Payne at headquarters this
morning. 1t is to have every whistle in
the factories, mills, railroad shops and
on engines blown at 6 o'clock on election
morning, "+ to announce the dawning of
the area of prosperity" This demon
stration should start in the East and
proceed West, according to the time Of
day in the different States. The plan
seems to meet with favor among the Re-
publican managers, and an effort may
be made to put it in execution.

Two Men Suspected of the Crime
Under Arrest.

men suspected of having committed the
murders at Sherburne. Mimi, yesterday
afternoon, were arrested at Swea City,
near here, this morning. They give the
names of Armstrong and Greatlinger
and tally with the descriptions sent
out Both are bicyclists.
A large and well-armed posse is
securing the timber northwest and
west Of this place, and still another
man answering the description of one
of the murderers was seen eight miles
north of here last night. 1t is general
ly believed, however, that unless the
men now under arrest are the right
men, they have got further away than
the woods north of Estherville, for it
is but about twenty miles from Sher-
burne to this point. and they would
have ridden that distance on their
track to battle pursuers in three hours
In addition to the posses at work in
this immediate vicinity, however, 9TH
ers are securing the woods and guard
ing the roads and crossings all along
the northwest and north central Iowa,
