Commons bidding farewell to English
publio life and politics, he HIM
self placed the queens proffer of the pre-
miership in Lord Roseberry' S possession

Lord Roseberrys right hand.
Since then, although out of public life,
he has been in it, and from time to time
has made stirring speeches in favor of
his old hobbies. Irish home rule has been
the aim of his life, and for that he has
spoken when he should have been silent

were forever laid down by him. He has
continued to lead the liberal party and
has met the leaders at HaWarden and
from that same country seat has written
messages of advice that have held them
together in time of dlsmemberment. His

THE LORDSHIP or THE NILE.

The upper reaches Of the Nile maintain their
mmemorial reputation For centuries they
were yelled in mystery. Whence did the great
river spring? Was 1t from some tabled Noun
tain of the Moon. or from the land Of the An
thropophagi, or from the home of those whose
heads grew beneath their shoulders? Never
has the Arctic Pole been sought more pertna
ciousy or more hcroically than have the sources
OF the Nile. AT last they have been found and
incidentally, some Of the seemingly most fanci-
full Of the old classic legends about that land
of mystery have been found true. But dark

contradictory rumors and general uncertainty,
even In matters Of the highest import.
a striking case In point Is furnished In the
circumstances narrated In detail on another
page Of to-day's paper. The principal move

for possession of the Upper Nile, which means.

The former tldings came. however, from by
far the more credible source, and until more
authorltatively contradcted may be regarded
as probably true.
The salient featur, of the whole contest is the
importance of the Nile and It's foods TO Egypt.
AS long as the river furnishes yearly its tribute
of water and of fertilizng mud from Abyssnia
and the Soudan. Egypt Will be one Of the most
productive agricultural countries In the world.
Should that tribute be withheld Egypt would

pending controversy in that continent
