BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Something Definite Will Be Known
About English Elections

New York, Oct. IA dispatch from Lon
don to the Tribune says:
The earliest contested elections, on Mon
day, will furnish pointers, but the general
trend of public opinion will not be dis
closed before wednesday night The most
important contest is at Oldham. where
two Liberal Imperialists are defending
seats which were won from the Union
lists in bye-e1ections. This will be the first
indication of the drift of opinion in the
great industrial section of Lancashire.
Rochdale, where the Liberal candidate Is
charged with being pro-Boer, will be an
other Lanca ;nire test. At least two bor-
oughS will throw light on the present tens
per Of constituencies which were carried
by narrow majorities in 1882 These are
Hartelpool, where Sir Christopher Fur
ness seeks to gain a seat, the lost. and
Durham where tho Liberals had single
ness seeks to gain a seat then lost, and
votes in as many boroughs and districts
then closely contested will heavily reduce
the Union majority.
cess of the Liberals in drawing Mr..
Chamberlain outside South Africa, where
were conferred. Lord Rosebery, in sug-
costing a brief programme Of. domestic
reforms, has given the opposition some
thing to talk about, especially the housing
problem.
didates for parliament is having a breezy
canvass. Gilbert Parker has the best
Churchill is making a hard fight and
Henry Norman is displaying great en-
ergy. Conan Doyle mas a stifI majority
to overcome, but, as an old Edinburgh
boy, he is among his own people. He is
a big. brawny candidate, and speaks with
manly directness and earnestness. He
lays tress upon his being a Liberal Union
ist, with a strong accent on the Liberal
for Scotch ears. and resents attacks from
the rear made by members Of the Reform
club, who insist that he ought to abandon
that Enclosure.
A feature of the Irish canvass is the
opening of a line of cleavage on the
Unionist side. The Unionists are divided
on the land question and on Mr.. Balfour's
general policy of smothering the island
with kindness. The Nattonalfsts have
feuds of their own between the Healy
and 'Brien factions. but are likely to
hold all their seats. and possibly pick up
one or two naturally belonging to the
Unionists The Nationalist are well led.
and Mr.. Dillon Is giving Mr.. Redmond
strong support.

TREATING WITH GERMANY.
Political Complications Compel Eng
land to Listen to Proposals.

New York, Oct IA special to the
Herald from washington, says:
Great Britain is playing international
politics in connection with the German
proposal that the surrender of RESPONSE
BILE authors of anti-foreign outrages be
made condition precedent to negotia-
ton with the Chinese government.
Well informed diplomats here believe
that she has delayed her reply to learn
the character of those of other powers,
and its effect upon the Chinese. Lord
Salisbury has no desire to offend Ger
many.
Her attitude during the war in South
Africa has not been overlooked nor does
Great Britain forget, in view of the in
dependent attitude of the United States,
that it may be necessary for England to
cooperate with Germany to prevent
Russia and France from obtaining larg-
err slices of China than herself in case of
partition.
So, it is understood here that Lord
Salisbury has believed it polite to give
long consideration to the German pro-
posal,an that the degradation of Prince
Tuan and other princes by the imperial
government Of China will probably be
the loop hole through which he will
crawl. So far as this government has
been informed, Germany has not modi-
fed her proposal, though it is likely that
she win do so in view of the objections
of the United States, Russia, France and
Japan.
II IS Sa4Q IN O1tcIdt circles InaC THIS
government contemplates making no
representation respecting partition, such
as seems to be anticipated in Berlin.
Though it is feared that partition will be
the only solution of the situation the
authorities are encouraged by the
change in the attitude OF the Chinese
government to make renewed efforts to
affect settlement, which will preserve
the territorial entity of the empire
A diplomat observed last night that
none of the powers could in honor agree
to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China because
they had, in explicit terms, announced
that their purpose was the maintenance
of the territorial integrity of the en-
pire.
What the official fear. however. is that

European powers and Japan will be pre-
cipitated.

OVERMYER KISSED.
Kansas Democrat Refused a
Hearing at st. Louis.

st. Louis, Oct. IA gang of rowdies
broke up the Democratic demonstration
at the st. Louis exposition Friday night
and prevented David Overmyer OF Kan
sas, who is an ardent Bryan advocate,
from completing his speech.
Mr.. Overmyer came to st. Louis as the
guest of the Working Mems Bryan club
under whose auspices the meeting was
held Several thousand persons congre-
ted orator
He was introduced by owen Miller,
the president Of the club and had pro-
ceeded in his speech until he reached
the trust question, when the aeronaut
who manipulates the air ship in the
Coliseum started his machine. This drew
all attention away from the speech
Mr.. Overmyer tried to talk against the
ar snip but to no purpose. Finally he
said: We'll, either that must be reunov-
ed or L viii quit talking" Instead of
removing the air ship the aeronaut
seemed to delight in floating it in front
OF his face so that it cut him on from
his audience
Some one in the audience let out a
yen for Mckinley. Overmyer tried to
continue but volley of Kisses. cat calls
and hurrahs for Mckinley followed
He appealed to the audience to be gen
tlemen but this only provoked more
Jeers. One fellow with a fog-horn voice
'Hurrah for Cleveland" Then there
was another outburst of yelIs
II rrah for Mckinley, came the same
fog-hOrn voice
Overmyer raised his voice above the
din and uproar and said: The same
man who shouted for Cleveland Is aIso
for Mckinley
This caused a roar. An appeal to the
. .4ls5AS Is, 70 pe quiet ana gentlemanly re-
suited in a voice: How about Roose-
welt and Colorado2"
We don't indorse such actions. There
were the same class of fools at the coll
oradO meeting as there are at this meet
ing, retorted Overmyer.
Another effort to restore order was ~
no avail against the packed Republican
house which seemed bent on resentina
the Colorado attack on Roosevelt
Seeing that he could not proceed Over
myer raised his voice so that it could be

Lord Roberts to Be Made Commander
In-Chief of English Army.

New York, Oct. 1.-The appointment
of Lord Roberts to succeed Lord VOL
seley as commander-in-chi of the Brit
ish army had all along been expected,
says the London correspondent of the
Tribune, but the official announcement
made last night can only be regarded,
in view Of the general election, as q
clever political maneuver With Lord
Roberts as conmander-in- chief, the
question of appointing a new secretary
for war vii be reduced in Importance
as the very fact Of the hero Of South
African campaign being in supreme
command of the military forces, win be
in itself a guarantee of war Office re-
forms.
Lord Wolseiey. it is well known, could
two or three years ago have had the
governor generalship Of Canada, but
owing to the exigencies of military at
fairs at the time, he did not see his way
to resign the commandership in chief.
Had he done so, the appointment would
have gone to the Duke of Connaught.
Now, however, the queens son will have
to be content with his present office of
commander of the forces in Ireland
General Butler should succeed Lord
Roberts in South Africa. He will be
the senior officer there when the field
marshal leaves. and there are several
others who rank before Kitchener.

ders to close up the Glendower and
Richardson collieries for all time This
would necessarily seal the fate of the
many residents in that section, for there

about zoe men In the west end Of that
district all are reported at work. There
are here the Phoenix Park and Otto col
lierfes. the last named having been re-
modelled, and which started work about
two weeks ago
The Reading company officials declare
that after the trouble is over the opera
lions win be more concentrated. which
may mean an abandonment OF some Of
the mines. Their policy today is to have
armed deputies stationed where EN-
plOyes actually want TO work but are
afraid of intimidation. They do not
however intend TO aggravate the strik-
ers by calling on the military. The sol
Cliers remain around Shenandoah Glen
dover and Richardson, and the Phoenix
Park and Otto collieries are working
short handed.

NEW ELMWOOD MEMBERS.
Committee viii Try to Secure 200
More

The committee composed of f O..
Popenoe, W. H. Davis and John Z. Noon.
appointed by the stockholders of the
Elmwood club to solicit new members for
the club, have made little progress.
The reason for this is that during the
past week the Auditorium entertainments
occupied the minds Of so many that 1t
was found to be impossible to accomplish
anything, and the matter was deferred
until this week
An EFFORT will be made to secure from
$50 to 200 new members. The initiation
has been reduced from $l5 to IS. and as
the monthly fees are only $50, il is an
tieipated that there will be no trouble
whatever in securing tie requisite number
of new members
with the addition of the new names the
club viii move from the present quarters
to the Manspeaker residence on the cor
ner of Tenth and Harrison streets. and
an excellent bowling alley will be q new
feature Of the club.
