SALISBURY FAILING.
British Premier Is in a Very
Enfeebled Condition.

New York. May 9.--A dispatch to the
World from London says:
Alarming reports about Lord Salisbury 5
condition are prevalent. A J. Balfour,
the government leader of the house OF
commons and a nephew Of Salisbury, had
a private audience with the king which
is understood to have been caused by the
prime minister's failing health There has
been complete silence on the subject for
three weeks, the only Indication that he
was not recovering being afforded by the
postponing of his return from Beaulieu.
He was to have been in London by this
time, but he has not yet left his Riviera
residence.
The attack of influenza before Easter
left him enfeebled and the news from
Beaulieu received in London shows that
his debility is ObStinately resisting all
treatment and has now reached a grave
point.
The World correspondent asked Lord
Hugh Gecil, member of parliament, one of
Lord Salisbury's sons, If it is true that
the premier is seriously III He replied
I know of no ground for such a state
ment.''
The possibility of Lord SaHsbury's re-
tirement has been freely canvassed in po-
litical circles His death would not dis
solve the ministry, but would lead to its
recOnstru ction.
The World correspondent hears that
King Edward would first ask the Duke of
Devons hire to take the premiership and
If he should refuse would then ask Mr..
Balfour to accept it.
Mr. hamberlain is now regarded as
quite "out of running"

there has been trouble between the men

the factory has become short handed
To I'LL the vacancies in the short de-
partments a carload of Italians was
shipped here from Kansas City Tues

The Italians were twenty-five in num-
Der and were divided into two shirts,
half working Wednesday and the other
half working at night About O'Clock,
without any fuss or talk, a crowd of the
old Workmen, augmented by m en- from
the smelters, went to the little camp OF
tents on the creek bank near the fac
tory. surrounded the eleven Italians in
side and demanded that they come out
The Italians answered by firing several
shots, and the crowd outside immed1-

is said three local men were slightly
wounded and one italian shot in the
back
The Italians broke from the tents
without hats or coats and took to the
woods, but were quickly captured One

mands of the various unions by aiding
the employers in every way possible.

RaovERNs NEXT OPPONENT.
Style Of Aurelio HeEerra Said to Be
Decidedly Awkward

San Francisco, Cal, May 9.=Having
disposed OF Gardner, Terry AcGovern's
Aurelio Herrera, the Bakersfield boy
whose record is clean of defeats and
who has yet to meet a man to score a
Touchdown on him. Hererra'S easy vic
tories over the men he has met in his
thirty-fve odd battles, usually scored in
from one to four rounds, have N ade
him perhaps pardOnably confident of his
ability to shine in the top-notch divi-
sion
Herrera figures that somebody will
defeat McGovern some time, and that
he may be lucky enough himself to do
the trick. Any way, his hackers are
willing to risk their money giving him
the chance
When Herrera fights the gallery goes
wild with laughter He ambles about
the ring and spars like a clown, but the
learned that all this is but by-play. and
that as soon as his amused opponent
begins to take liberties with him on
account of his awlSwardness he steps in
with a terrific right and left and SON e
body goes out of business. Many pro-
fess to believe that Herrera can strike
a harder blow than McGovern- 1t all
depends now whether he will get the
chance to land on the Brooklyn wonder.
A better line on Hererra's real ability
as a fighter may be obtained if his man.
ager carries out his present intention
OF matching him against the winner of
the A6AL between JOG bernstein ana
Solly Smith. Either Of these clever
fighters would furnish a. good line on
the Bakersfield boys claim to a position
in the first division
To anticipate the clamor which has
arisen from the sporting public for a
match between McGovern and Erne,
Manager Harris, for the former, has
announced that the engagement he has
made with Herrera will In no way in
terfere with the promise he made to
Erne to give him a meeting with the
Brooklyn champion
