RosEeERY ON The WAR.


Britain's Former Premier Outlines His
Policy TO Vast Audience.
Lord Rosebery. ex-premier of Great
Britain, addressed great crowd of Lib
erals at Chesterfield, Derbyshire. 1t was
the most remarkable political gathering
seen in England since Gladstone was in
the heydey of his fame.
Roseberys policy, as enunciated in his
speech. may be summarized thus:
Prosecution of the war, but repeal Of
Lord Kitcheners proclamation.
Recognition of Kruger and considcra-
ton of proposals for peace offered by
Beers.
Liberal amnesty for the Beers; civil
rights. to all taking the oath.
Liberal appropriation for rebuilding
Boer homes and restocking farms.
Recognition Of the war office.
Increased efficiency of the navy.
\ national educational system.
Energetic inquiry into commerce and
industry.
Dissolution of Parliament and a new
general election.
Lord Rosebery said the ministry should
not promise more than it could perform.
He said the Queens speech in 1898 prom
Used new statutory parliament for Ire
land and the disestablishment OF state
churches
That speech was model to be avoided.
He advised the party not to move much
faster than the mass of the nation was
prepared to move; Otherwise it would find
itself isolated This advice could have

than himself-namely, Theodore Roose-
welt, the head of the greatest democratic
community in the world, who said;
I'VE hope to keep going by slow steps.
not by bounds. We must keep our eyes
on the stars, but we must also remember
that eur feet are ON the ground"
The speaker criticised Chamberlain for
his dangerous speeches, which aroused
the antagonism of Europe. He said the
government has also been tactless in all
its dealings. Continuing, Lord Rosebery
said the war must be prosecuted, but the
country must give up the unconditional
surrender" policy and ueat with Kruger
for peace. He protested against what he
understood to be Lord Miners policy
that there should he 10 formal close of
the war, no peace signed, but to hunt the
Beers until few only remained, and
then to treat them as bandits. That
meant there would be no settlement in
South Africa He urged the government
to study Motley, and learn from the
struggle of the Netherlands against King
Philip, which was carried on by the an
| ccstors of the Beers.
There must be regular peace, he said,
and TO that end he would not be deaf to
any oyertures from any responsible men
among the Beers, especially those sur.
rounding NJ. Kruger. They might repre-
sent an eNiled possibly a discredited gov
eminent, but it was the government
which went to war with Great Britain
He would not have the government Offer
terms, but it should certainly recognize
| ana consider overtures.
| He cited the case of President Lincoln
who did not disdain any means of com
munication with those whom he regarded
as rebels, and also the efforts of Bismarck
and Pitt to bring about formal peace
with vanquished foes.

considerable influence in party affairs. He

convention at Philadelphia in 1900 who
were sincerely for Roosevelt for Vice
President. And it is said il was largely

TO KEEP OUT CONSUMPTION.
TubercuIous Immigrants May Not BE
Admitted.

The federal judge who recently sus-
tanned a ruling of the Treasury Depart
ment that immigrants afflicted with tu-
berculosis had no right to enter the eoun-
try did not go into the merits of the
case. He simply held that the matter
was one for the treasury officials to de-
eide But it is clear that the Treasury
Department is endeavoring TO protect
the health of the country.
tuberculosis is the most destructive
disease known. In Europe, as well as
in the United States, it is the cause Of
more deaths than any ~<her. Epidemics
OF plague and fever are responsible for
more scares and sensations, and OCCASION
ally produce high death rate and large
mortality list. but tuberculosis works
steadily year in and year out with the
persistence Of fate. Ii cannot be cured
like the epidemics, and though new and
promising remedies are announced ey-
err little while the enc thing of REM
edial nature upon which the best medical
minds agree and insist IS that the great
est care should be taken 10 prevent its

Of their revolyers forced a way to free

The burglars entered the building about
8 o'clock in the morning They blew
open the vault with powerful explosives
and getting the small chest within broke
it to pieces with huge sledge-hammers
and secured $4,000 in gold and currency.
The noise of the explosion and the break

by residents, and preparations were being
made for a concentrated attack upon the
bank to capture the robbers, when three
men, wearing masks and with a revolver
in each hand, dashed into the street and
opened fire. John Hoffmayer, resident
of Archbold, was wounded by a bullet
striking him in the jaw The robbers
ran to the outskirts of the town and,
jumping into a surrey they had stolen
and placed in waiting made their escape.
