COMMENT OF LONDON PRESS.

London. July 17.-Lord Rosebery's pronounce
uent is considered by The Daily Telegraph as
-seyering his last connection with a hopeless
opposition" The Daily Chronicle says:
is destined 10 have profound effect upon
The country, pointing to the formation OF a ma
tional Liberal party, numerous materials for
which are scattered within easy reach
The Daily Chronicle meaningly asks if Lord
Rosebery viii take his part toward realizing the
desired end.
The Daily News" regards Lord Rosebery as
standing outside the vineyard and throwing
stones at the workers" Going on to analyze
the letter the paper defines IT as "a deliberate
and mischievous effort TO prevent reunion"
The Conservative papers generally commend
the letter.
The Times calls upon Lord Rosebery to
place his great abilities at the service Of the
country by throwing himself, heart and SOUL
into the work Of converting the Liberal party TO
the policy in which he believes 1t alludes to
his singular advantages-brth, ability and ma
tonalty-for playing an important part at q
critical time"

POISON IN LONDON

About noon Edith called their landlady and
told her that she and her sister had taken
poison. She asked the landlady to get a cab
put herself and her sister in it. and promised
they would leave the house without making
trouble. Upon going up stairs the landlady
found one of the sisters to be dead. The other
sister died on the way TO the hospital.
The landady. whose name is Callaghan said
to-day that Edith Yeoland told her yesterday
that her sister Ida was seriously disappointed.
as she had expected to go TO the United States
with E. S. Wizards company, but had received
a note from Mr.. Frohman's assistant saying
there was no chance for her to do so.
Mr.. Frohman said tonight he had known the
Yeoland sisters favorably for a number of years.
but that they had had negotiations with him
added that if any negotiations had been entered
into in this direction they had been carried on
direct with Mr.. willard
