in which almost all kinds of trees ma

in great perfection; and what is true

towns within the State. Some locali-

ticular. Portland has long been called

have gone into history and poetry.

Americus Elks who attended the re-
cent conclave in Macon, the purpose
OF which was to form a state organiza-

enthusiastic over the success Of the

accorded them in the Central City.

large membership from the various
lodges of the state. In the election of

In view of the fact that the State

THINKS OUR COURSE BEsr !.
London view Of Mr.. Hays Note to Cnina
and Russia.

spsetor csels Despatch 10 TEE suS.
LONDON, Feb. 22.-The Spectator, refer
ring 10 Secretary OF State Hays recent
note TO the Chinese and Russian Govern
ments, says:
when we SEQ America willing to use
such language we all the more regret that
our Government. instead Of plunging into
an alliance with Japan, did not instead
make joint representations with America
and Japan In the direction indicated by
Mr.. Hay. America Is almost as deeply
interested commercially as we, and we might
very well have told her, that we would 60
as far as she liked In her company, but
that we did not propose any action without
her."
The Spectator reiterates its firm oonvic-
tion of the unwisdom OF the alliance with
japan. but contends that as It has been
concluded Great Britain must do her utmost
to prepa re for the consequences. II declares
that IL is useless to deny that II Is a blow at
Russia and in less degree TO France. and
adds:
Having thus placed these Powers In po-
sition Of antagonism. II would be criminal
folly not to begin to make every possible
preparation to insure success should the
war which Is contemplated and provided
against in the treaty come to pass, that Is,
a war with two European Powers. Rus
sia is almost certain to hold that the alli-
ance means that collision will In all
probability take place In the future
between Great Britain and herself and will
Immediately prepare for attack
I'VE may depend that all the old plans
for a counter-stroke against us in India
are being revived in st. Petersburg, and
that also the best way Of creating an anti
British crisis in Afghanistan is being con-
sidered. France, too, Is most probably
considering what stroke will be most effec-
tive against us provided her ally calls for
aid.
This being so It would be little short Of
madness not to make everypossible prepare
ton, and as the best and surest way OF
guaranteeing ourselves against the risks
involved in the alliance we must think out
q method Of attack. that being the best
Of all possible forms of defence. II the
treaty is bad 1t will be made infinitely worse
by the want Of preparations to hurl defiance
at Russia. Not TO make ready to meet her
answer to our defiance is sheer idiocy.'

LORD ROsEBERY'S BOMBsHELL.
Government Papers Gloat Over the d.
lemma OF the Liberals.

Special Cd0le Despdieh 10 THE SUN
LONDON, Feb. 22-The press is absorbed
with the bombshell that Lord Rosebery
has dropped into the Liberal camp. The
comments are copious and are what were
to be expected according TO the tenets of
the individual papers.
The Daily Ners and other papers sup
porting Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman
try to meet the incident with smiling in
difference One Of the Neus's captions is
NO Disruption, but a Little Care The
Government papers gloat over the dilemma
in which they think the Liberals have been
placed.
Rumors in the Hobbies Of the House of
Commons, in the clubs and other political
circles are plentiful, but none seems to
demand special credence or to be worthy
Of record. Attempts 10 draw opinions
from prominent politicians have failed.
The whole position at the moment suggests
that a hive Of bees has been overturned
and that its occupants are buzzing around
aimlessly.
The Times which is probably better
informed on the subject than the other
newspapers, says II understands that Mr..
Herbert Asquith and the imperialist Lib
erals generally agree with Lord Rosebery's
policy of definite separation from the Lib
eral party and are prepared TO follow him,
but no definite action will be taken until next
week. Lord Rosebery will speak at Glas-
cow soon, and ii is believed that he will
then make an exposition Of his policy.

ITALIAN CABINET RESIGNS.
Crisis Follows . Vote For President o
the Chamber D!n an Issue.

Special Cable Despatch TO TIRE SUN
ROME, Feb 21.-The Ministry resigned
this afternoon after vote had been taken
on the election for the Pres dent
OF the Chamber. Signor Villa, the Presi-
dent hitherto, received 1875 votes, but l42
bla k ballots were handed in.
Contrary to the custom obtaining In most
countries the election of a President of the
Chamber of Deputies here has special po-
litical significance. The Cabinet seems TO
have had no doubt Of Signor Villas election
and hence no whips we're sent out TO secure
the attendance Of Government supporters.
In addition to the l42 blank votes. twenty
five ballots were cast for another candidate,
and five were not valid. Hence the defeat
OF the @ Government was definite enough to
compel the resignation Of the Ministers.
The defeat j. attributed to the cooperation
Of the Socialists and Conservatives.
IL is difficult to say how far the crisis is
due TO the divorce question. but the cleri-
Gals declare that the proposed divorce law
is the cause OF the trouble. In any event
the matter is acute, involving the idea of
Vatican interference with judicial ques-
tions. Since the Pope's anathema against
divorce In his Christmas allocution the Bish-
ops and clergy throughout the country
havo echoed his protest and the subject
has been agitated for and against every
where.
1t Is understood this evening that the
King will not accept the resignation of the
Cabinet. and that he is urging Prime Min
lister Zanardelli to ask the Chamber for
vote Of confidence.

New BRUNSWICK, n. j., Feb. 2l.-A
seighing party returning 10 this city at
I o'clock this morning found a man lying
in the snow in George street, on the out

ton fees. There was sl35 in an envelope
and a note with it asking that his debts
be paid.
Henderson died at the Wells Memorial
Hospital this morning without recovering
consciousness.
Coroner Smith telegraphed to the young
mans mother at West Lafayette and to-
night received a reply. asking for descrip-
tion OF the body. The Coroner said that
Henderson had undoubtedly committed
suicide. The police found a new revolver
near where the body was found. Some
OF the letters found in the pockets con-
vinced Coroner Smith that Henderson
had committed suicide while suffering from
religious dementia.
Henderson was a graduate Of Ohio wee-
leyan University in the class OF 1901. He
entered Columbia University last October

philosophy in the school Of political sci-
ence and secured a university scholarship
