A CRISIS IN BRITAIN
ROSEBERY ISSUES MANIFESTO TO
LIBERALS.
HE DISCUSSES ITS ScHISM.

Party Spells ImpOtence-He Inti-
mates That the Liberals should
support the War Policy, hut Says
the Differences Are IrrecOnciIabIe.
He Comments PessimisticalIy Up
on the Present Political Situation
in Britain.
London, July 17.-Lord Rosebery has
issued manifesto on the divisions in
the Liberal party. 1t is contained in a
letter to the City Liberal Club, which
had invited him to deliver an address,
He disclaims any desire to re-enter
politics, but speaks out under the re-
markable charter" agreed upon by
Liberal members of the House of Com
mons of hearty" and undisputed alle-
glance to the leader and complete lib
erty of action to dissent with regard to
one vital question before the country"
The Liberal party can become a
power. he continues, only when it shall
have made up it's mind on the imperial
questions which are at this moment
embodied in the war"
After asserting that 1.-The whole en-
pire has rallied to the war he dis
cusses the attitude of the Liberal par
ty. What is the attitude of the Lib
eral party?" he asks. Neutrality and
an open mind? Now, l contend that
this is an impossible attitude and spells
impotence No party can exist on such
conditions"
Would Not Cease with War.
He says that the difference would
not cease to operate when the war
is over, because, Statesmen who
disassociate themselves from the ma
ton in a great national question,
such as the war in which we all strive
to suffer together, disassociate them
selves for much longer than they
think"
He considers that the severance is a
"sincere. fundamental and incurable
antagonism of principle with regard tC
the empire at large and our conse-
uuent policy" AS there is this hon
est and irreconcilable difference oi
opinion on these questions of the first
importance" he can see no favorable
issue.
Lord Roseberry concludes with q
gloomy touch. 1T is a matter o.
sorrow and anxiety" he says. ito se'
a weak government faced by weaker
opposition at a juncture of foreign hos
tility and international competition
which needs all the vigilance, power
and ability at our commond."

Hfr Snrigg was satisfied that such an

Litchener and the Cape government,
and that a very considerable improve

going back. He deprecated the sus-
tension of responsible government as
i might possibly cause changes in the
nosition of the British political par
ties
The Cape government entirely sym
natbized with the announced policy OF
the imperial government. The Cape
cabinet had been rendering all possi-
ble support to the imperial government
and intended to continue it's support
with full assurance that the imperial
authorities would not vary their pol
lev. which he understood was to wipe
out the last vestige of Republicanism
in South Africa.
England. Mr.. Sprigg added, had con-
suited the Cape cabinet in regard tc
South Afrca's future. The cabinet
strongly held the opinion, which was
shared by the imperial government
that first there must be period of mil
itary rule, followed by crown colony
government for the new colonies. The
Cape government recommended large
scheme of immigration. Federation
must not be hurried.

SHOT AT CABINET MINISTER.
French WOmnn's Unique Method of
Attracting Attention TO Her Claim
Against the Governments.

Against the Government.
Paris, July 16.-P. Baudin, minister
of public works, was shot at while
driving to a cabinet meeting at the
ElyseeN Palace to-day by woman, who
was accompanied by a 10-year-old
child. M. Baudin was not hit and pro-
ceeded to the Elysee Palace.
The woman was arrested and gave
her name as Olzewsky and said she
lived at Nanterre.
Nine. Olzewsky appears, according to
later accounts, to have fired her pistol
in the air when M. Baudins carriage
was passing. She said she thought NJ.
Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs,
was in the carriage and fired it to call
attention to a grievance. Her grieV-
ance was based upon the fact that in
1896 her husband, Count Olzewsky, was
inveigled from Nice across the from
tier to the italian territory. where he
was arrested on false denunciation, as
a spy He was released a month later
and asked the French government
through the ministry of foreign affairs
to demand of Italy the payment of 100,-
600 francs compensation, asserting that
his arrest had ruined his business. He
| received from the foreign office sums
amounting to $500 francs, and posi-
tion as tax collector, or receiver for
the government near Paris worth 800
francs year. He and his wife were
dissatisfied and frequently pestered M.
Delcasse. Nine. Olzewsky was so i'm
Fortunate that she was several times
expelled from the building of the de-
partment of foreign affairs. She knew
neither M. Delcasse nor M. Baudin.
She says that NJ. Delcasse owes her
considerable money for information
and services rendered France.

Mr.. GAYLORD'S ADMISSIONS.

duct Business without Cash.
ST. Louis, July 16.-SensatiOnal ad-
missions have been made on the stand
by Samuel a. Gaylord, senior member
of the firm of Gaylord, Blessing & Co.,
which failed recently. Gaylord, who
is one of the oldest stock brokers in
the city, admitted at the hearing before
Bankruptcy Referee Coles that the
firm had been practically insolvent for
two years, and had been doing busi-
less on other peoples money-on funds
secured from local customers. Deals

name in the accounts. At the time of
the failure they were short $150,000 in
bonds, face value, and over 6,0p9
shares of stock in New York. 1t was
admitted by the witness that the
failure was due to their own specula-
ton, through which they had hoped to
pay off their indebtedness, estimated to
have been nearly 100000. AS to miss

SITUATION GROWING DARKER.
Ministers Freely Admit No Prospect
of an Early Agreement.

MAhAsteTN y TethE AunnAt NO EFOspect
of an Early Agreement.
Pekin, July 16.-The ministers of the
Powers now freely admit that the pros
pect of a conclusion of the negotiations
is growing darker. The situation is
most serious, as the deadlock has con-
tinued for more than a month. The
meeting arranged for to-day was post
poned because it was apparent that the
proceedings would be fruitless. July
IL, the ministers reached something in
the nature of an agreement, as to the
indemnity. But, almost Immediately,
a radical difference developed between
Great Britain and Russia as to the
details of the plan of payment.
The neutral ministers assert that
either Great Britain or Russia must
make material concessions before a con-
clusion of the agreement is possible.
Meanwhile, the committees of the min
listers are working upon comparatively
unimportant details, such as improve
ments in navigation but, if the finan-
cial question was settled the negotia-
tions could be closed in a day.
Ii Hung Chang keeps sending siren
uous requests to the ministers of the
Powers to present a complete plan. He
represents that China is willing to ac-
cept any reasonable terms and is chief
ly anxious to know definitely what the
Powers require, so that she may begin
compliance with the terms.

Against Cincinnati Machinisfs.

Cincinnati. July 16.-Judge c. d.
Clark, of the United States District
Court, refused to-day the motion TO dis
solve the temporary injunction issued
against the striking machinists, indi-
eating very plainly to counsel for the
defense what his opinion would be on
certain principles involved. He said
that for picketlng an injunction would
and even boycotting were not to be met
by injunction. He said:

beyond all shadow of doubt that pick

and wrong. Counsel for the defense
must understand plainly that / am OPP
posed to picketing i'm any form what

He described picketing as intercept

factory-anywhere, even miles away

Interference with egress or ingress Of

"But violence" he added. "is not to
be remedied by injunction of this court

ANNAPOLIS ENUMERATED.

Young Craven Was Not Hazed ana
Was Never "a student There.
Washington, July 16.-The newspaper
report from New York to the effect that
Henry Smith Craven, grandson of the
late Rear Admiral Craven, who was
committed to the Bloomingdale lunatic
asylum on Monday, has become insane
as a. result of hazing administered
to him while student at the Annapo-
lis Naval Academy, is disproven by the
records in the possession of the navy
department. AS matter of fact, Mr..
Craven, as shown by the record was
never actually a student at the acade-
my. He was appointed TO it in 1885,
but owing to his physical CONDITION
never entered the institution, being
given leave of absence from time to
time after a breakdown, due to over
study in order to pass the examination.

PORTO RICO'S REVENUES.
Estimates Show That She Can Easily
Make Both Ends Meet.


San Juan, Porto Rico, July 16.-In
Gov. Aliens message to the Porto Ri
can Assembly July 4, when that body
passed a resolution, asking President
Mckinley to declare free trade between
Porto Rico and the United States, as
the revenues raised from internal
sources, exclusive of customs, had
proved sufficient to meet the islands
financial requirements. it was shown
that the expenses of the government as
authorized by the Legislature for the
fiscal year. beginning July l, 1901,
amounted to $1,976,S02 of which amount
the most considerable allotments were
as follows:
Insular police. $2O4,S50.
Board of prison control, $11O.9 .9S2.
Board of public works, 1856, ,942.
Board of charities, S104, 495.
Judiciary of Porto Rico, $780, $50.
A careful study of the financial sit
uation warrants the belief that there
will be raised from the three sources,
viz: Property tax. excise tax, and
customs duties on imports from coun-
tries other than the United States, the
sum of over $2.OOO,OOO. This will pro-
vide an excess of estimated receipts
over expenditures.

New York. July 16.-At the close of

ment that no conference concerning
the steel strike had taken place to-day.
and that none is likely to take place
until the Amalgamated Association re-

this point there can be no compromise,
and that the heads of the constituent

union men.
j. Pierpont Morgan would not be
quoted at all about the strike, neither
would any of his partners. In fact all

subject, so much so that those who
talked relative to II on Monday refused
even to see newspaper reporters to-

fort be made at them to resume busi-
