RosssERY ON The WAR.
Britain's Former Premier Outlines His
Policy 80 Vast Audience.


Lord Rosebery. ex-prernier of Great
Britain, addressed a great crowd OF Lib
erals at Chest or6eld. Derbyshire. 1t was
the most remarkable political gathering
seen in England since Gladstone was in
the heydey of his fame.
Rosebery's policy, as enunciated in his
speech. may be summarized thus:
Prosecution Of the war, but repeal OF
Lord Kitchener's proclamation.
Recognition of Kruger and considera-
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,
A 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 1t could perform.
lie said the Queens speech in 1898 prom
ised new statutory arlament 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 il would find
itself isolated. This advice could have
been better put by better authority
than himself-namely, Theodore Roose-
Welt, the head of the greatest democratic
community in the world, who said:
We hope TO keep going by slow steps,
not by bounds. We must keep our eyes
oil the stars, but we must also remember
that our feet are on the ground"
The speaker criticised Chamberlain for
hi 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 treat with Kruger
for peace. He protested against what he
understood to be Lord Miners policy
that there should be no formal close of
the war, no peace sigred, but to hunt the
Beers until a few only remained, and
then to treat them az 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 K.ng
Philip, which was carried on by the an
cestors 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 Mr.. Kruger. They might repre-
sent an exiled, possibly discredited gov
eminent, but it vas the government
which went to war with Great Britain.
He would not have the government offer
terms, but it should certainly recognize
and consider overtures.
He cited the case of President Lincoln,
who did not disdain any means of com.
Immigration with those whom he regarded
as rebels, aud also the efforts of Bismarck
and Pitt to bring about a formal peace
with yanqNished foes.

Blizzards have begun their annual ram
! page. A cold wave of almost unprece-
dented severity for this season Of the
year swooped down upon the country Sat
urday night, and practically the entire
West and South was caught within its
chilling embrace. Out of the Northwest
came a terrific blizzard, starting with
rain, turning to sleet, then to snow and,
with the snow, came a high wind, bring
! ing belowzero weather. Dispatches tell
of drop in temperature ranging from
40 to 30 degrees throughout the region
covered by the storm, and so radical a
change in conditions within such a short
period has been attended by much suffer
ing. Sunday was the coolest day for the
first half of December that Chicagoans
have experienced in twenty-five years,
the mercury going to II below. On Dec
9. 1876. the thermometer registered II
below zero.
The blizzard extended from the upper
lake region ON the north, almost to the
gulf on the south, and Indiana on the
east, to Wyoming on the west. Trains
have been delayed through the entire
Northwest. Great damage was done to
the sheep and cattle interests of Wyom-
ing, Dakotas, Colorado. Great distress
is reported among the sheep herders OF
the Red desert country in Wyoming. Col
orado is buried in snc :. The tempera-
ture ut Guunison touched II degrees
Heavy drifts are reported in the noun
tains and loss of life and great destruc-
ton of stock is expected. The thermome-
ter touched ten degrees below at Sioux
City and other points. North Dakota
and Minnesota caught the full force Of
the cold wave. At one point IN North
Dakota it was reported to be % degrees

Train service throughout southern Min
nesota was hampered by drifting. Ne
braska was swept from end to end. Near
Columbus, Neb., Thos. Gogan, a farmer,
was frozen to death. The blizzard struck
Illinois and Indiana, following a general
rain.
M0orehead, Mimi, and White River.
Canada, were still in the lead as the cold
est places in this country or the DoInin-
ion White River was calm and peace
full, with 40 below "er1 Sunday morn
ing, and at night it was ~ below there.
Moorehead registered 80 below Sunday
morning, but had grown sultry at s be-
low in the evening.
It was exceptionally frigid in the South
for this time of year. Memphis shiy-
cred at above zero, Nashville complain
ed against 6 and Atlanta was depressed
because of 1G mercury. In New York
City it was %. Washington mad a Sc
we're frost at 20. and Chattanooga mon
uments looked decidedly chilly under a
breeze carrying a 14-degree chill.
Kansas is bit happier, because the
situation in the western part Of the State
for stockmen is greatly improved. but
wheat in central Kansas is damaged be-
cause Of the absence Of snow. A loud
wall comes from Austin, Texas, where it
appears considerable damage has been
wrought The dispatch says that cattle
on the ranges were not in condition to
endure the frigid spell, aud that calves
have suffered even more Many horses
have been lost IN that region. From
Galveston ii is stated that the planters
are suffering aud their loss is great.

Stevenson related that he married

dover of $4,000, which was to be return

it was his belief that he was Dowie's

his name to paper giving Dowie all
rights in the company by fraud. Steven
son charged that Dowie, on the night Of
