OVATION TO ROSEBERY
GREAT LIBERAL DEMONSTRATION IN
HONOR OF HIS LORDsHIP,
Who Spoke on Current British Topics
and Emphasized His Hostility
to the Irish Party.

LIVERPOOL. Feb 14-Lord Rosebery
received a tremendous ovation at the great
Liberal demonstration here this evening.
His lengthy speech, the principal one Of
the evening, was attentively received and
heartily applauded He failed to throw any
fresh light on the war situation, but he
strongly emphasized his hostility to the
Irish party and his desire to utterly alien
ate it from the Liberal camp.
During his remarks Lord Rosebery said
the greatest change in heart and head un-
dergone during his five years absence from
public life was in regard to the Irish prob
lem. Mr.. Gladstone's bills were dead and
buried. though that statement cast no re-
Election on the great statesman who orig
mated them. The Irish party had now in
dignantly repudiated any connection with
the Liberal party, and ne believed they had
acted wisely 1t both to their inter-
ests and to those of the Liberal party. The
Irish leaders had played their full hand.
They had demanded an independent parlia-
ment in Dublin, and thereupon he had cried
Halt" This remark was greeted with ap-
plause.
Continuing, Lord Rosebery said: 81 am
not prepared at any time or under any
circumstances to grant them an independ-
d
ever consent to handing over the destinies
of Ireland. situated in the very heart of
the empire, to a Parliament controlled by
those who have expressed the earnest wish
that we might be overthrown in battle.
The Irish question is too large for any
one party. 1t will need the energy and
patriotism of both great parties to deal
with These are my personal sentiments,
but / wish TO make them perfectly clear
on returning TO public life
Regarding the war Lord Rosebery said
he had been ignorantly ridiculed for the
suggestion of casual peace negotiations in
some way-sde inn,' but he thought the
innocent mission of DR.. Kuyper. the Dutch
premier, bore a fairly close analogy to such
a course The speaker said he thought the
reply of Lord Lansdowne, the under secre-
tary for foreign affairs, to DIR. Kuyper
was fitting and dignified, but he thought
the government had acted wrongly in de-
cining to reckon with the Boer delegates
in Europe, and allow them to send a depu-
tation to South Africa
THE trouble with the government" said
Lord Rosebery, lis that they are always
thinking of the present. / try to think
have TO live together in South Africa
The speaker appealed for an immediate
and searching inquiry into the remount
scandal. and commented generally upon
the government seeming want of a def
mite policy in Malta and Wei-Hai-Wei In
conclusion he begged that his hearers would
not be too ready to allow their hands to
be tied by the Anglo-Japanese alliance.

things. 1t will also show the vote for the
presidential electors in 1900, giving the vote

RETURN OF THE PRESIDENT
Followed by the Departure of Miss
Alice Roosevelt for Groton.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-President
Roosevelt returned to the White House this
forenoon in very happy frame of mind
after five anxious days at the bedside Of
his boy. who has been critically ill with
pneumonia at GrOton, Mass. The journey
back to the seat of government was made
much more leisurely than the hasty dash
into New England last Sunday when the
Presidents anxiety to reach his son out
ran the fastest special train. The trip 10
Groton was made in fourteen hours, but
eighteen hours were consumed in the re-
turn, and in this homecoming the Presj-
dent had a chance to make three short
rear-car speeches to the crowds at Worces-
ter, Woonsocket and Providence. In each
he assured the waiting hundreds that
Ted was all right and out of the woods
and in each case the crowd cheered VO-
ciferousy and seemed as joyous as the
President. The journey after leaving Prov
idence was uneventful. DR.. Lambert who
went TO Groton at the special request of
the President, left the train just before
it was taken on to the ferry boat Mary
land at Harlem river early this morning
The private car did not go into the Phila-
delphia station, and at Baltimore there was
no one except train hands TO gaze curiOusly
tive.
There were only few people at the
Pennsylvania station here when the Presi-
dent arrived. Assistant Secretary Loeb
met him and the party was driven rapidly
TO the White House.
Miss Alice Roosevelt left for Groton over
the Pennsylvania road at 4:5O o'clock this
afternoon. 1t is expected that if the i'm
provement in the young mans condition
continues for another week he will be
brought here at the end of that time Mrs
Roosevelt and Miss Alice will be i'm WASH
ington when Prince Henry arrives.

MIR. INsLEY's PROPOSITION.
He Addresses Ii 10 Candidates for
Joint Senator.

Edward Insley last evening submitted IN
writing a proposition 10 the Republican
candidates for joint senator from Marion
and Morgan counties which he thinks will
meet the wishes of the Morgan county Re
publicans The candidates 10 whom the
proposition was addressed are William p.
Reagan, Linton J. Cox, Larz Whitcomb and
Joseph A. Minturn. 1t reads:

by Joseph a. Minturn, a candidate Tor
nomination for joint senator Tor Marion
and Morgan counties. against the Hon.
Charles N Elliott. chairman OF the Repub-
lican county committee. and the members
of the election commission appointed by
him according to the primary election law
This suit was suggested by myself TO
Mr. Minturn for the purpose or dennlng
the intention of the Joss law in relation 10
such nomination as that of joint senator.
1t appears. however, that the determlna-
ton of this suit may jeopardize the rlght
of other candidates TO place on the ballot
TO be voted at the primary on March Il.
including all candidates for state office OF
whatever description, viz: Judges, prose
cutors. members of the lower house, JUS
tices OF the peace and perhaps others
Subsequently, I'm view or the facts just
stated L have suggested TO Mr.. Minturn
that he should withdraw the said suit in
order to promote harmony and not Involve
others with his own candidacy. But very
naturally he has refused TO consent 10 the
proposition, involving, as II may, the III
tegrity of his own motives In bringing the
suit.
Furthermore, he is strongly impressed
with the belief that the only determination
of the said suit must be In MS IaNor.
Therefore. i take the liberty or addressing

we'll as TO the other candidates TOT Jolht
