bourg and Southampton, on his arrival
at quarantine at o'clock this morning.
reported that yesterday noon the Ameri-
can line steamer Paris was sighted in
latitude Al degrees and longitude G6 de-
grees, lying STILL At 1870 o'clock, on ap-
preaching near the Paris, the engines
were stopped until the cause of the
trouble could be learned. A boat was
lowered from the disabled steamer and
came alongside the Bismarck. The officer
in charge reported that the starboard
engine had broken down, and asked that
letters be taken to the New York agents.
No assistance was required, and Cant

thousands, threaten the existence of
Great Britain, and perhaps precede the
determination of the Armenians. He
could conceive of nothing more futile,
dangerous and disastrous than such a
policy. Any British minister mourning
an European war except through the ne
cessity of interests distinctly British
would be a criminal to his country, and
to his position. lie believed that any
just war would have the assistance Of the
British colonies. He doubted that a war
in BEHALF Of the Armenians would elicit
such assistance. The panacea was con-
certed action by the powers nearest in
terested. This could not long be post
poned
Lord Rosebery then referred to his re-
tlrement from the leadership OF the liberal
party, saying that the differences on the
eastern question was only one of a series
of incidents that had induced him to re-
sign the leadership. He added that he
had not received the loyal support that a
peer needed II he was to lead his party
successfully. His government in its ear
ly days had been defeated by its own
followers The policy he had suggested
for the election had not yet been adopted.
Finally Mr.. Gladstone had innocently
ministered the coup de grace. The in
ternal differences In the party had been
equal to the external differences His ac-
ton had been so hampered as to render
his position untenable. He had rendered
his resignation to his colleagues after the
election.
Lord Rosebery, in conclusion, thanked
Messrs. Foller, Asquith, Bryce and Arm

The meeting unanimously adopted res

liberal party, deeply regretting his retire.
ment and earnestly hoping that he would
reconsider his action and resume the
leadership.
Lord Rosebery replied that his decision
was the result of mature reflection and
had been taken with the conviction of its
absolute necessity.

ARE RED UNIFORMS DANGEROUS =
British Investigators Advance Argu-
ments Claiming They Are Not.
From Parsons Weekly.

From Parsons Weekly.
The scarlet uniform Of the British In
fantry has been greatly criticised in recent
years, chiefly on the ground that 1t ex-
posed the men to needless danger by
disclosing there whereabouts to the en-
envy. The objection taken to the scarlet.
however, is groundless, and scientific rea-
sons are given why the prevailing color
Is for all purposes the most suitable that
could be selected.
In the first place. scarlet affords the
best attainable protection against the ex-
tremes of heat and cold to which soldiers
are liable to be exposed. The darker the
color protecting warm body, the moro
rapidly radiation proceeds. White would
be the best color to reduce radiation
10 a minimum; but white Is barred by
other considerations, as are also all the
grays. Scarlet or red comes midway
between white and black or other dark
colors, while with reference to protection
from the sun scarlet takes far higher
place than any Of the blue, greens or
drabs and other shades often used for
military clothing
Yellow or orange is excluded because
these colors are particularly CONSPICUOUS
at a long distance. Although scarlet or
red is more conspicuous than gray when
the sun shines directly on the troops 1t
blurs on the sight, and Is consequently
more difficult to hit.
With existing rifles the actual result OF
fight Is usually decided at a distance
Just outside the effective range Of the
weapons. This distance lies between 600
and 800 yards Nearer than this It is inn
possible to close without replying to the
enemy's fire, and as soon as the return
fire whistles about the defenders heads
the possibility Of aiming rapidly and ac-
curately decreases.
Therefore, from this point OF view, Il is
whether the object to be hit
is conspicuous or not but from a moral
point Of view 1t Is a serious consideration.
Within 100 yards each subsequent advance
Is conditioned by hre-superiority already
achieved the denfenders are shaken; the
time for counting heads Is past. and the
mental impression conveyed by the sight
OF the assaulting troops becomes the main
point.
1t is a distinct advantage that our men
should bulk large In the decisive stages
OF an encounter, and there Is no color
which enables them to do this so eject
lively as scarlet. on the whole. therefore.
every scientific considerations justihes
retention OF scarlet as the best uniform
for our troops.

POOLING ABOUT FUSION.
The Negotiations in North Carolina
Still in Progress.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 9-The democratic
campaign, or central committee, clothed
with full power was in session five hours
to-day and then sent a communication to
the populist central committee. All this
proceeding is characterized by a remarka-
bic degree Of secrecy. 1t was expected
that the proposition to be made would
cover complete fusion on all tickets. but
it is learned that, so far, it is only for a
division of congressman upoE ple6<a
that only free silver congressman shall
be voted for No special men are named
and the matter now appears to be but the
beginning of a long correspondence. Other
propositions may be made. Such is the
opinion of well informed people tonight.

MIsSOURIS POPULISTS.

The Democrats Not Apt to Accept
Their Terms for Fusion.
st. Louis, Oct. 9.-After stormy ses-
sion, lasting nearly eight hours, the peo-
pies party state central committee last
night adopted resolutions giving the exc
cutive committee plenary power to arrange
a fusion with the democrats on a state
ticket, provided the latter would concede
to the populists the offices of attorney gen.
eral and railroad commissioner The vote
stood a tie, and Chairman Roselle cast
the deciding vote. The acceptance of the
proposition is extremely doubtful. Chair

The Ex-Premier Expresses His
Views on the Turkish Question.

Views on the Turkish Question.
Edinburgh. Oct 9-speaklng in this city
tonight, Lord Rosebery, the ex-prime
minister, discussed the remedies that HAD
been suggested for the settlement OF the
Turkish question. He adduced reasons
against nearly every one Of the remedies.
Regarding the proposal that RUSSIA
should take possession of Constant1noDie,
Lord Rosebery said the late government
(hls own had been extremely anxious to
arrive at an entente with Russia, ana ne
was still In every way hopeful that sat-
isfactory understanding between Great
Britain and Russia ON the Turkish ques-
ton would be reached. He urged the al
vocates of the proposal, however, to re-
member the treatment that had been ac-
corded the Poles by the Russians. More
over, he asked, how is Great Britain TO
give to Russia what Is not hers?
Avowing generation and unaltered
friendship for Mr.. Gladstone, Lord Rose
berry said that he could not agree with
the proposal made by the latter in his
Liverpool speech to withdraw the British
ambassador from Constantinopie, or TO
threaten action which could not be Ct
fected II the powers did not approve. Such
a course would lead to humiliation.
He differed with Mr.. Gladstone in the
opinion that Great Britain was bound by
the cyprus convention 10 intervene In Tur-
key. This convention had been a dead
letter ever since ic-had been signed Tie
did not desire especially the retention OF
Cyprus, and would willing give 1t to any
power except Turkey as the price Of

Lord Roseberry further declared that he
was emphatically opposed to Isolated ac-
ton by Great Britain on the Turkish
question, and would fight the proposal
that abe act alone tooth and toe-nail.
Such action would mean an European

mission.
Two years ago the populists polled 96. SSs
votes in Georgia. Wednesday the straight
popuist vote, augmented by the efforts Of
'the Buck circular" prohibition fus-
ion and in many counties
what was termed "a labor
vote" was less than $780, and this for
their candidate for governor Mr.. Wright,
who ran 10000 votes ahead Of his ticket
These figures are based upon the official
returns OF nearly all Of the counties re-
ceived to-day.
Wednesdays election shows that every
congressional district I'm Georgia is dem
ocratic, and will send democratic repre-
sentatives to the next congress. The only
district held in doubt was the Tenth. Two
years ago in the state election that dis
trict gave small populist majority. The
Ninth also gave a small majority for
Hines. Wednesday Richmond, Hancock
and Washington counties gave democratic
majorities sufficient to offset the popust
malorities in the other eight counties. and
show besides clear democratic majority
of 2.125. while the Ninth comes up smiling
with a democratic majority.
Official returns from a majority OF the
counties Of the state show that the demo-
cratic majority for the state ticket will
run slightly over $1,000. Gov. Atkinson's
majority falls below this by several thous-
and, but this fact is due to local fight on
the head of the ticket Later returns
make practically no change in the COM
plexion of the legislature.
