SIGNIFICANT SPEECH.
Lord ROsebery Publicly Discusses
the Fashoda Question.

the ASnOua question.
LONDON, Oct. r. Lord Rosebery,
the Liberal leader and former premier,
presiding today at an agricultural din
ner at EPSON, referred to the critical
situation on the upper Nile He said:
AS l was responsible, both personally and
m1nisterially, for the declaration Of Sir Ed
ward Grey, on which the present policy in
regard to Fashoda Is founded and as I have
no disposition to recede from a word or a.
syllable of that declaration Cloud applause) I
feel bound to say few guarded and. I hope,
lnoHenslVe words on subject so vital to our
interests There are two or three considera-
lions in connection with the question which
make 1t OF supreme gravity, the greatest be-
Ing that, IN the face Of O. deliberate warning
that a particular act would be considered an
unfriendly act, that act, in spite Of great geo
graphical difficulties, great hardships and al
m most alnsurmountable obstacles, has been de-
lfberately committed. Behind the policy of the
government in this matter there is the uutir-
ing and united strength Of the nation. No
government that attempted to recede from 1t
or palter herewith would last week. Her
majesty's political advisers have only to main
tain the attitude revealed in the blue book
and the nation will make any sacrifice and go
to any length to sustain their action.
On the other side Of the channel, the uues-
ton of the flag is an element Of great grav-
ity. We all honor that flag and would not
wish 1t slightest disrespect, But, after
all, a flag is portable, and l have some hone
that the flag in this case is not the flag OF
France, but Of an individual explorer and
not, therefore, carrying the full weight of
the republic behind it. Among the reassur-
ing features Is the fact that NJ. Delcasse (the
French minister of foreign affairs) has re-
ceived the representations of Great britain
In concilatory spirit. By denying the ex-
istence of a Marchand mission. he has de-
prived Marchand Of the official character
which would give the hosting Of the flag q
much more serious aspect.
The Paris correspondent Of the Daily Chron-
icle says: Il learn that Mail Marchand's re-
turn from Fashoda, by way Of Cairo. has al
ready been arranged on both sides"

IDENTIFIED AS ORMOND.
The Body Found ON Saturday That
OF the Rochester Doctor.


MINNEAPOLIS, Oct 12.-Dr. Or
mond, of Rochester, was murdered
The body found Saturday near Edna
Mills in a haystack has been identified
as his.
This is the explanation Of a disap-
pe1rance mystery to solve which no
pains have been spared. When the
body was found Saturday on Helmutt's
farm it was far gone in decomposition,
and one arm was missing, two facts
which led the authorities to the belief
that the dead man was not the one
they sought. The possibility was COM
rCented on, however, and Mrs. Ormond
heard of it. In the meantime the body
had been buried in the potter's field
near Hopkins.
This morning a little procession Of
carriages splashed out over the muddy
road to the poor farm, near which the
pOtter's field is located. The vehicles
carried Mrs. Ormond, her son and a
cousin together with some police off,
Gals. Arrived at the poor farm, men
were set to work to open the grave,
and soon the rough pauper's coffin with
its gruesome burden was brought to
the surface. The remains were identi-
fled as those of the Rochester doctor.
There seems no doubt as to the mans
Identity. Mrs. Orman positively stated
NudI II was IudI OF n6r nuSDanQ. she
described every article of clothing her
husband wore and IN every particular
1t answered that worn by the dead
man. Apparently the brutal murderers
concealed the old mans body in the
straw stack after they had killed him
for his money.
The body was taken to the morgue
where Coroner Dennis will hold an in
quest at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
A post norton examination will be
held at $50 q. m. The clothes will be
cleaned and preserved for future evil
dence.
While at the morgue this evening
the body was further identified by two
men who were closely acquainted with
the Rochester farmer. These are A.
Simpson, proprietor Of the Transit
house, 1910 University avenue, st. Paul,
and Benjamin Belts, a buyer for Bar
rett & Zimmerman, Midway. 1t was
at Simpsons hOstelry that Dr. Ormond
boarded when in the Twin Cities.
Both men were positive that it was
DR.. OrmOnd, giving as their reason the
shoes, necktie and clothes worn. These
were Identical in every particular.
The police are Of the opinion that it
Is a mysterious murder. Inspector Hoy
last evening laid the case before the
St, Paul police, and Chief Schweitzer,
Detectives Murnane and DAILY were
detailed to search the Sanity City for
evidence.
There was a number Of theories af1oat
as to the method in which the aged
man came to his death. The po-
lice believe that he may have been
murdered and robbed in the city, and
that the dead body was taken into the
country and concealed in the straw
stack. A small bottle Of whisky was
found in an inside pocket Of the clothes
on the corpse. This had been purchased
at a Hennepin avenue drug store, but
inquiry at that place brought the an
