LORD ROSEBERY
 TALKS WARLIKE
Says England Should Not Re-
 Cede from Position Assumed.
WILL ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY
If the Ministers in Power Feel Inclined to Shirk the Duty of Bringing France to Terms-Friend-
 ship With America.

Perth, Scotland, October 22.-Lord Rose- bery, the liberal leader and former pre- mier, in receiving the freedom of the city of Perth today, referred in the most cor dial terms to the 'good understanding be- tween Great Britain and our kinsmen in the United States
 Continuing, the speaker says he believes the whole history of the ill feeling which existed was one vast misunderstanding.
 Since 1779 by the madness of one govern ment and the want of wisdom of another, Great Britain had waged two wars against the United States, in neither of which were we conspicuously successful But through out my life l have never been cognizant of an unfriendly feeling in this country to- wards the United States. On the other hand the Americans, in whose territory the wars were fought, and with whom the recollection was most painful have always had sense of abiding soreness.
 "But am glad to say that after more than century of misunderstanding the United States has discovered that we are not enemies, but friends. (Cheers.) could not but believe that when they real ized the position they would see that 1t was a great future before the two great nations going hand in hand and that it was their duty, function and destiny to perform great service, not actually In behalf of other nations, but in behalf of humanity and civilization" (Cheers)
 Lord Hosebery then referred at length to the Fashoda question, his remarks having the same tenor as his previous utterances on the same subject. He said:
 "If 1 were a British minister now no man should rob me of one shred or jot of the honor to which the great work of civiliza- ton, culminating at Omdurman, entitled Great Britain and Egypt. If the govern ment does not feel strong enough to bear the weight of its laurels I am willing to take any share it may hand over to me-"

The latter paid the money and little later Agnes was alleged to have received the news that Crescence had been married to an angel and wished to have her dowry sent to her together with ], ,00O marks. The" Creseenee was supposed to have had baby and the farmer gave more money the Wohelfharts In short, the farm was bled in this manner until he W; ruined.
 News of the affair reached the author ties and the WeheIfharts were arreste. During the proceedings in court fifty-tN letters which Agnes was said to have r. ceiyed from the Virgin Mary were pr duced and the public prosecutor read ceipt from the Mother of Christ" for 15O marks Another document was letter Of thanks for a sack of potatoes, and still another was an acknowledgment of re- ceipts of 25O0 marks which says that all the angels in heaven blew their trumpets when the money arrived. It was also de- veloped during the court proceeding that Agnes actually gave the farmer sofa, a milk loaf and other things which she de- clared she had received from heaven. while the farmers wife piously baked a fine tart for the Virgin Mary.
 Frau Wohelfhart as the guiding spirit in the frauds, was sentenced to two years imprisonment.
 Three Important Measures
 Three important measures providing for an increase in the strength of the army, anti-strike regulations and imperial meat inspection, are so far advanced that the bills embodying them are ready for intro duction into the reichstag immediately af- ter that body convenes.
 The army bill not only provides for a slight increase in the peace effective foot ing, but it also provides for the reorganiza- tion of the field artillery and the compile tion of telegraph and railroad equipment. The bill will, altogether, make an increase of some 2000O000 marks yearly, besides an immediate outlay of a larger amount
 Throughout Germany unusually cold and stormy weather has prevailed all the week. The thermometer in some places sank to 10 degrees below the freezing point. An enormous amount of damage was done to late field products. The ice was several inches thick.
 belated party of tourists in the HartZ mountains is reported to have lost nearly all if not all of its members. They were frozen to death.
 The news that American bicycle manu- lecturers intend to make large imports has renewed the German agitation against the alleged low duty on American bicycles, and articles about crushing American compe- tition."
 The Kreuz Zeitung says this is the op- portunity to advocate a prohibitive tariff upon American bicycles.
 Herr Goldschmidt, United States consul here, Is very i'll.

EVACUATION OF CRETE.
Turkish Troops Leaving at Night to
 Avoid Incensing the Mussulmans.

London, October 22.-The evacuation of the island of Crete by the Turks is now in full swing. The troops mostly embark at night time in order to avoid exciting the Mussulmans The foreign admirals intend that the Turkish civil officials shall follow the troops, the administration of the island remaining in the hands of the admirals until the powers decide upon the final form of government of Crete. The number of foreign troops on the island will be in- creased to 14,0to men pending the complete pacification of Crete The first step in that direction will he general election of the members of the Cretan assembly, and a body of gendarmirie will be gradually formed to replace the international troops. The four great powers, France, Great Britain, Russia and Italy are now ex- changing views upon the selection of a governor-general of the island.

present crisis has been fully provided for in the mobilization scheme. He added that the British naval authorities had all their ships ready and can concentrate a squad ron of cruisers and have them off the French coast in less than twenty-four hours. This official also pointed out that it was not for nothing that the British naval maneuvers were put off this year. He added that the British ships at the present moment have a larger supply of coal on board and available and a larger stock of provisions than ever known berore.
 The British admiralty list today shows that nine British battleships and eleven cruisers are lying in the Mediterranean, while the British squadron which was last reported off Villa Garcia, Spain. consisting of eight battleships and five cruisers, con- stitutes the most modern and powerful homogeneous fleet of warships afioat.
 Telegrams from Balmoral intimate that the queen is following the trend of events with much chagrin. Her aversion to war in the declining years of her reign Is well known, and is an appreciable factor in the situation
 The Austrian and German newspapers are closely following the dispute between Great Britain and France and while they express the hope that 1t will not end In war, the general feeling is that the French position is untenable, and that Great Britain is entitled to reap the fruits of a victory.
 Tie Brisson Ministry
 The Brisson ministry appears to have one foot in the grave, and its prospects of last ing long beyond the opening of parliament are very dubious. The French premier is attacked on all sides, and it was thought he would try to secure the support of the moderates to carry him through the ses- sion. But his list of new prefects issuad this week shows moderate officials have mostly been replaced by radicals
 This has exasperated the moderates, who declare the ministry has thereby signed its own death warrant. Interpellatons from deputies on the governments policy at home and abroad are pouring in. M Cav aignac, the former minister of war, intends to attack the government on the question of the revision of the Dreyfus case, oppos- ing its reference to the court of cessation, on the ground that the army has in the council of appeal it's own court of cessation. M. Burgeois Is reported as the probable successor of M Brisson, and lively times are promised on the reassembling of the chamber of deputies on Tuesday next
 The French socialists are organizing a vast demonstration to take place on the fIace de la Concordo, and the anti-Dreyfus league has also summoned its adherents to meet there with the rallying cry of "Vive rarmee"
 In addition, the military authorities are Paris will be confined to the barracks. The preliminary socialist meetings have already resulted in conflicts with the police.

Philadelphia. October 22.-The University of Pennsylvania foot ball eleven defeated the Lafayette kckers this afternoon by the score of 32 to 0.
 Pennsylvania fumbled wretchedly but this was to great extent due to the bad passing of their center an dthe slippery ball. The field was ankle deep with mud and it was almost impossible for the men to get started.

An ILLUSTRATED SERMON.
BY the Rev W. E. Needham, Of Calvary
Baptist Church. Brooklyn.

Romans 1: I. Paul, servant Of Jesus
Christ, called to be an apostle
When grace laid hold of Paul 1t en-
braced his whole being, from his great
heart to finger tips-seemed consecrated
to God.
AS freely as the blood flowed in his
body, as freely did the truth of God fill
him. In a sense, you might say he was
filled with all the fulness of the Godhead
bodily.
History describes a preacher who trem-
bled violently before a king; but in Paul S
case it was the king who trembled before
the preacher.
Men have fallen from dizzy heights,
climbing inaccessible mountain peaks.
But you can never dislodge a man like
Paul, whose grasp was on the Almighty
God.
Let me call your attention to a few cf
the striking pictures in this mans life.
First, his conversion: I have rapidly
drawn here the road to Damascus. Notice
the old building, the overhanging palms,
the distant hills.
This man was very religiously inclined;
the only trouble was, his earnestness was
cast on the wayside. AS in furnace you
cast iron bolts and bars. so deep in the
furnace of his prejudice We're cast bolts
of hate and malice.
When the sweet and sanity Stephen
was dying, his prosecutor sat a greedy

ance and blindness. But it was a remark

He, with others, were riding over this
roadway. | suppose Paul was thinking
how he would deal with this new sect,
how he could bring them back in chains
to Jerusalem. But a change came. The
leaden sky gave way to bright azure, and
then a flashing light The High Priest
was wrapped in the glow of the Shekinah

broke through the little circle about

some faint trace OF amusement, as
