ARE AGAINST GOVERNMENT

7 ONDON, March Ito successfully
diagnose The intentions and pros
poets OF the new liberal movement
under the auspices of Lord Rosebery
was to solve a puzzle which has every
politician in Great Britain by the ears.
The Associated Press. however, is able
to announce that far more powerful
influences than appear on the surface
are at work il behalf Of that curious
yet all important development which
has ensued. upon Lord Rosebery's re-
entrance into public life
The remarkable attitude Of the Lon
don Times, already noted in these dis
patches, continues to such an extent
tEat this unionist organ deliberately
takes up the cudgels in behalf Of Lord
ROsebery as against the Duke OF Dew
ohshlre, who himself is only half
hearted in his opposite to his former
leader Yet, so imbued are the British
press and public with the notion that
the Times could never oppose a conser-
FatlVe government that these out
spoken utterances pass almost without
comment, and such comment as exists
IS confined to the man in the street"
who, somewhat fearfully, whispers:
Do you think it possible that the
Times is going back on the govern
ment?'
Rothschilds Own "Thundered."
An explanation Of this was afforded
to the Associated Press by one of Lord
ROsebery's fellow peers, who is a per-
sonal friend Of the former premier,
though opposed to him in politics. he
said:
L believe it is quite true that the
Rothschilds now own a half interest
IN the Times. We (the speaker is a
member of the governmenD can no
longer rely on the Times support, and
can only deduce that the Rothschiius
intend to back up Lord ROsebery's
movement with all their millions and
the other resources under their con-
troll"
Lord Rosebery's family connection
with the ROthschilds lord Rosebery
married Hannah de Rothschild. the
eldest daughter and heiress Of Baron
Meyer de ROthschild), and their fire.
quent outspoken dissatisfaction with
the financial and internal policy of the
present cabinet, strengthens the Suppo-
Sition, and the statement of the peer
above quoted would stand against any
number of formal denials and means
tar more than mere .schism in the
liberal party. This accumulated danger
IS probably appreciated in inner ca BIZ
net circl~ though it is overlooked or
Intentionally .nored by the leading
cQnserVauv- rgans allied with the
ROthschi 1t IS said that there are
several other papers in London await
ing favorable opportunity TO come
out IN support of Lord Rosebery.
Scandal Had Been smothered.
Important developments in the cam
paign are not likely to occur III the
near future. Il is understood that Lord
Rosebery and his allied interests are
willing to wait until the verge of the
next election before issuing a definite
programme, in the meanwhile creating
such weapons as the recently formed
liberal league, influencing defeetions
among the members Of the house Of
commons. both from Sir Henry Camp
bell-BanneTman and the liberal union
lists to Lord ROsebery's platform of eff
fciency, Imperialism and liberal eco
nCmics.
a curious light has been thrown on
the re-mOunt scandals by high Of
hcer Of the government, who tells the
Associated Press that, whatever the
merits OF dement's Of the case, il would
never have come up had not a private
sQuabble arisen between members Of the
house of commons. According to this
statement one member sent in a bic
for horses which was refused in favor
or Newmarket firm. Against the lat
ter the disappointed bidder and several
racing members Of the house Of COM
mons had bitter gTudges.
A cabal was formed. quite regard
less of party lines, and a determine
ton was arrived at TO make the gov
eminent suffer for giving contracts to
a man who was not in favor with the
aristOcratic~ parliamentary racing set.
These personal grievances, apparently,
had long been common talk in the
lobby of the house of commons, and
the bait thrown to the opposition by
the disgruntled UnionistS was eagerly
taken up, with the resulting exposition
of the horse scandals.
On the best informed opinion. the
Pail Mall Gazette prOphesies the end Of
all serious hostilities in South Africa
by September, and this is rather
2essimistic than an optimistic view.
Judging from Lord Kitcheners prog
ress this week and the well founded
rumors Of General Botha's personal in
clination to surrender, the practical
end of the struggle may considerably
arte-date September
