ROsEBERY TO THE LIBERALS.
Declares That the Party's Attitude "SpeIls
Impotence"

London (By Cable) 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 Lib
eral members Of the House of Com
mons OF hearty and undisputed ale
glance to the leader and complete liber-
ty of action to dissent with regard to
one vital question before the country"
The Liberal party can become pow
er, he continues, only when it shall
have made up its mind on the imperial
questions which are at this moment em-
bodied in the war"
After asserting that "the whole en-
pire has rallied to the war" he dis
cusses the attitude of the Liberal party.
What is the attitude OF the Liberal
partyf' he asked. Neutrality and an
open mind? Now, | contend that this
is an impossible attitude and spells inn
potence. No party can exist on such
conditions" He declares that the diff
ference would not cease to operate when
the war is over, because statesmen who
disassociate themselves from the nation
in great national question, such as the
war, in which we all strive to suffer to.
gether, dsassocate themselves for much
longer than they think"
He considers that the severance is q
Sincere, fundamental and incurable an
tagonism OF principle with regard to the
empire at large and our consequent pol.
ICY" As there is this honest and IT.
reconcilable difference OF opinion on
questions OF the first importance" he
can see no favorable issue.
Rosebery concludes with a gloomy
touch. 1T is a matter OF sorrow and
anxiety" he says, ''to see a weak gov.
ernment faced by weaker opposition
at a juncture OF foreign hostility and in.
ternational competition which needs all
the vigilance, power and ability at oui
command"
He believes that Great Britain is at 2

the unyielding attitude of the big cor.

necessary to make settlement, once and

The policy of the United States Steel
Corporation toward its men has been
liberal Their demands have been grant

absolutely out of the question to accede
% their demands. The company simply
cannot do it and succeed in business.
Since that is the case we have decided to
take issue with the labor union and the
question will be fought to a fnIsh
Should the men gain the poinr for
which they are striving, and should they
succeed in extending the system they aim
70 establish in the steel trade into other
industries, it would upset the entire bust

BULLET HIT WRONG MAN.
And Germany Demands an Indemnity From
Uncle Sam.

Washington (Special) The last mail
from the East brought detailed news
paper account of the shooting aftray at
Pekn which has resulted in a German
claim against the United States. The
account which appears in a Japanese
newspaper, states that an American sem
try had been posted at the western eX-
tremity of Legation street. close to where
the new American legation is building.
That portion of Legation street was be-
ing newly macadamized and rolled. A
barricade had been put UP and Major
Robertson had posted sentry on the
spot to warn persons not to ride over the
newly made road, pedestrians only being
allowed to traverse it. A German officer
came riding along, knocked down both
the sentry and the barricade, and gailop-
ed across the forbidden route. The SEN
try scrambled to his feetapd sent sh9t
after the officer, but missed, aiSa~ lne Oul-
let lodged in the leg of a German ~sen-
try standing on duty half way down the
street The newspaper says that the
American was sentenced to one months S
Imprisonment and fined a months pay,
presumably for hitting the wrong man."
1t is now apparent from mail reports
which have Just reached the state De-
partment from China that it was solely
through the moderation and humanity
exercised by the United States repre-
sentatives at PeiIn by the Presidents S
