Considerations in Question Make 1t One
of Supreme Gravity-England United
on the subject-Conciliatory Attitude
of Del Case Reassuring.
London, October 12.--Lord Roseberry,
the liberal leader and former premier,
presiding today at an agricultural dinner
at EPSON, referred to the critical situ-
alton on the upper Nile. He said:
'As I was responsible, both personally
and ministerially. for the declaration of
Sir Edward Grey, on which the. present
policy in regard to Fashoda is founded
and as 1 have no disposition to recede
from a word or "a syllable of that declara-
ton cloud cheers) l feel bound to say

KssThere are two or three considerations
in connection with the question which
make it of supreme gravity, the greatest
being that in face of deliberate warning
that a particular act would be consid-

of great geographical difficulties, great
hardships and almostl insurmountable
obstacles has been deliberately commit.

weakening on this question has entered the
heads of Her Majesty's present advisers.
They have only to maintain the attitude

any length to sustain their action.
ION the other side of the channel, the
question of the flag is an element of great
gravity. We all honor that flag and would
not wish it the slightest disrespect. But
after all flag Is portable and have
some hope that the flag in this case is not

NO GLUE TO BuckspoRT MYSTERY.
The Dead Woman's Missing Money Found
By Detective.

Buoksport, October 12.-It Is now
twelve days since the body OF Sarah Ware,
who had been missing for two weeks
was found in a remote pasture with her
skull fractured and portion of her jaw
and cheekbones broken and missing.
1t is generally conceded to be murder,
but up to this date although continue
search and Investigations have been made,
there have beenzno arrests and no clue
found. directly duplicating any person in
the case.
Deceased wasFa widow. ffty.tw years
of age. practically homeless, living with
an aged lady on the outskirts of the viii
lage On the evening of the 18th ult., she
called on friends half mile distant. She
left them about nine O'Clock, presumably
for home. and was not seen alive after
wards. Robbery has been alleged the
motive of the murderer The deceased
was known to have in her possession some
money. She always carried q hand bag
supposed to contain about $50, known to
have been paid her for domestic service.
Today Detective Odlin of Lewiston
engaged byatown authorities on the case,
found forty-fve dollars in bills in the
trunk of the deceased. which with the
balance accounted for in various ways,
shows thats Mrs. Ware had little or no
money with her ON the night she met her
death. No other motive can be reasonably
assigned for her murder.
The theory of accidental death by wan
dering away while partially deranged and
dying from exhaustion or heart trouble,
is somewhat strengthened by this discov-
cry, but the wounds are unaocounted for.
The case is more complicated than ever.
Detective Odlin has been at work for
several days and q number of parties ara
under surveillance.
Clues are few and blind. The place Of
the murder is not located and it 10 unde-
cided whether she was killed where she
was found or at some other point and
carried there. Much excitement in Bucks.
