RosEBERY's LIGHT FADES
Despite Sir Henry's Covert Bid for
Irish Support, Redmond and
His PhaIanx Will Remain
Independent
BoFRs NOT PROPOSING PEACE

LONDON. Jan. 1S-The most important
event of the reassembling of parliament
was undoubtedly the emphatic declaration
of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman the
Liberal leader in the house of commons,
that the Liberal party is sti.- committed
to home rule. This was SO utterly at
variance with Lord Rosebery's Chester
field speech that it was taken to COM
pletely nullify the other passages of Sir
Henry's opening speech, in which he en-
deavored to conciliate the Rosebery fac
ton.
The Spectator says this re-nailing OF
the home rule flag to the Liberal mast
is a new and violent reputation of the
imperialst wing"
In other quarters, the home rule an
nouncement has been taken to be a e
facto bid for the support of the Irish
parliamentary party, but this does not ap-
pear to be a probable contingency, as
John Redmond and otGer leaders of the
Irish Nationalist have continually de-
clared, and proved it to be their intention,
to fight the home rule battle unhampered
when the occasion suits them.

ZENITH CITY
HAS SHIVERS
FEARS MARITIME PRESTIGE MAY
BE TAKEN AWAY
Claim to BE Urged That an Increase
in Vessel Tax Would Simply
Drive Lake Tonnage to
Other Ports.
Special to The Globe.

DULUTH, Jan. 17.-Duluth is aroused
The supremacy of the Zenith City as the
home of the most vessel tonnage Of any
port on the great lakes is threatened by
the report of the tax commission, which
recommends that the present taxation
rate on vessel property be largely in
creased. Consequently on all sides is
heard denunciation of the report, and the
indications are that "a determined effort
will be made to have the legislature leave
vessel taxation as it IS
To begin with, the present cents a
net ton tax affects no city in the state
except Duluth. The vessels on interior
lakes and rivers in the state pay taxes
under different laws. The boats enrolled
at Duluth navigate international waters
and are the only ones affected.
If the law proposed by the tax com
mission is carried out it will deprive the
state and St. Louis county Of $4,000 a
year and give nothing in return. IN adj
dition Duluth will lose it's prestige as the
most important port of hail ON the lakes
because it is almost All absolute certainty
that practically every vessel Of any value
will be transferred to some other port
with lower taxes. Superior probably
would get the most OF them, because the
last Wisconsin legislature, at the solicita-
ton Of that city, lowered the tax to ccr-
respond with Minnesota's, cents per net
ton. 1t did. not affect Duluth's enroll
ment but prevented several Superior
boat owners from registering their craft
on the Minnesota side.
According - tFc last report OF the
local customs oItice the total enrolment
at Duluth Dec. 81, 1901, was :SS vessels OF
all descriptions, with an aggregate ton
mage of 3S8,649 tons. and a net of about
316,000 tons. If the proposed law is en-
acted vessel men pr adiot that these mag
nificent figures will fade to practically
nothing.
There is no disposition to dispute the
fact that vessel property escapes with too
little taxation, but until there is uni
form law relating to it, it is useless to
attempt to accomplish anything. Duluth
at any rate is opposed to sacrificing $10,-
600, of which the state gets half, and her
Importance as a port Of hail for the bene-
fit of some other state, and a vigorous
fight will be waged against the tax COM
missions report unless it is amended.

PROF. PEARSON,
ICONOCLAST
EVANSTON PROFESSOR ATTACKS
BIBLICAL INFALLIBILITY
Stories of the Miracles of Christ De-
nOunced as SuperstitiOus and
HurtfuI, Incredible
and Untrue.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S-Prof. Charles w.
Pearson, holding the chair of English
literature in Northwestern university,
which is conducted under Methodist
auspices, has thrown a bomb into the
ranks of Methodism in Evanston, the seat
of the university, by giving out for pub
Hcation a statement of his belief that
Biblical infallibility is superstitious and
hurtful tradition. The biblical stories of
Christ's bringing the dead to life, Of his
walking on the water and of feeding the
multitude with loaves and fishes, are.
he says, mere poetic fancies, incredible
and untrue.
Prof. Pearson declares that the policy
of the Methodist church is one of in
activity, obstruction and Jesuitical silence
on the views in which the leaders and
scholars of the church have gradually
come to believe. but which are not I.,ld
by the body of the church. he SAYS that
most Of the present teaching is evasive,
and that most of the Sunday school
teaching is almost farcical and entirely
inadequate.

Col. Lynch added that his future move

of the Irish party, in which he has every
confidence, and by the wishes of his con-

property to the United States for $40,-

the report unanimously recommended
that the offer of the Panama company
be accepted.
The report, it is said, is very volumin-

arise out of the purchase, or that there
will be any international difficulties
should the deal be consummated. The
report was completed about 6 o'clock
this evening, and after being signed by
the members of the commission was car
ried by Admiral Walker, chairman of
the commission, to Secretary Hay, who
transmitted it to the president. The
latter will send the report to congress
