A RENT IN THE PARTY.
Resignation of the Duke of
Devonshire a Hard Blow.

London, Oct. 6.-There is practically
but one opinion of the reconstruction of
the British cabinet and that is that
Premier Balfour used his opportunity to
rehabilitate the character of his gov
eminent and that so far as the unionist
policy at large is concerned the minis
try has lost most of its prestige and
authority. This estimate of what is al
ready commonly designated as the
transitional cabinet seems largely
due to the sense of chaos arising from
the unexpected detection of the Duke of
Devonshire, lord president of the council
and conservative leader in the house Of
lords, whose resignation was unexpect-
eddy made public yesterday afternoon,
as with the notable exception of the
colonial Secretaryship, the premier has
reconstructed the cabinet in a manner
closely agreeing with public opinion.
Austen Chamberlain, Mr.. Brodrick and
Mr.. Arnold Forester were all sometime
ago assigned with more or less approval
to the posts to which they have been
appointed. In spite of this there is no
Disgusting the fact that a large rent
in the party unity has been caused by
the resignation Of the Duke of Devon
shire, the chief author of the liberal I'M
ionist party, and this was amply recog-
nized by Mr.. Ba!fOur'S LITTER, acknoWl-
edging the receipt of his resignation.
The dukes action, however, seems to
have aroused the same fighting spirit in
Mr.. Balfour which enabled him to tri-
umph over difficulties in the eighties,
" hen the whole of Ireland was in arms
against him and there are not lacking
those who foretell that he will again
come out on top and prevent the col
lapse of his government. The general
consensus of opinion hardly expects the
government to remain in power, even
for a single session and all the political
parties are preparing for an early dis
solution of parliament.
1t was 1umored today that the Mar
quis of Londonderry, president of the
board of education, may follow the
Duke of Devonshire into retirement.
The new colonial secretary, Alfred
LyttIeton. has made only one pro-
nouncement on the fiscal question. On
that occasion he defended Mr. Cham
berlain's action in launching the dis
cussion. but contended that the poor
mans budget must not be weighted,
and said he would be especially sor-
~ to add to the food bill. He antici-
pated a readjustment rather than addi-
tionaI taxation and thought the gov
eminent should have a weapon for use
in the negotiation of commercial trea-
ties

HOTEL MEN COMING.
They Will Be Entertained in Topeka
October 10.

On October Is the annual meeting of
the KanSas-Missouri Hotelmen's associa
ton will be held at the Throop hotel. A
meeting of the local hotel keepers will be
held at the National tonight to make ar
rangeme nts for the gathering and the en-
tertainment of the visitors. ]. J. o. Rourlxe
of the Throop hotel and c. l. Wood of the
National, who is secretary of the inter
state organization, were in Kansas City
last week in attendance upon a meeting
of the executive committee of the Kan
sas-Missouri association and helped Sc
lect the date for the annual meeting.
One session, the afternoon of October
20, will probably finish up the business of
the meeting. In the evening some sort
of entertainment. probably vat the Ell1s'
club rooms, will be arranged for the Wis
itors. The following day Will also be de-
voted to the amusement of the out of
town hotel keepers and a trip to Fort
Riley to witness the military maneuverS
has been proposed. This, with other sug-
gestions, will DE taken up at tonight's
committee meeting For three years pas.
the annual meetings have been held in
Kansas City. The Missouri assoc
citation has a membership of about 200
keepers of the best hotels in the two
states and the organization has been in
existence for eight years.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT

People who wenao Tiger Lilies"
the burlesque show MT the Crawford last
night, are laughing yet. The name of
the thing would imply that it was
fierce But it was neither naughty
nor poor. 1t is simply a gathering of
funny foolishness. with not the semp-
lance of a plot. The costumes were new
and clean, the girls were far above the
Sam T. Jacks average in looks, and the
comedians (nearly all of them were
comedians except the chorus) were ex-
ceedingly funny. Their jokes were most
~ new, and the old ones were revarnish-
ed so that they were still funny.
J. E. Cooper, the boss comedian, may
be described as a very large man built
around the most remarkable mouth ever
put on the market Olga Orioff, the
soprano, has a very good voice. The
chorus was well trained and had a nice
variety of clothes. "Edustis'' is the al
legged name of a man who performed
few new and startling feats in strong
arm and balancing, and Howe, Berry
and Walters did new musical stunt.
There was not word of sense uttered
during the whole show. and the audi
ence laughed uproariously. It was well
worth the money.

on the significance of the approaching
visit of King Victor Emmanuel to France
in which the italian statesman is quoted
as saying:
THE italian Democracy has always
given the warmest support to friendly re-
lations between France and Italy which
is another pledge of European peace. All
our efforts are in that direction No one
rejoices more than / at this happy APP
proachment. The kings voyage is the
elimination of our aspirations, giving Il
solemn conservation to the hearty ex-
changes of good will between the French
and Italian fleets"
Senior Zanardelli added that he regret
ted his inability to accompany the king,
owing to the multiplicity Of domestic
problems to be solved before the reas-
sembling of the Italian parliament.

of violating wide-tire ordinance" The
councilman in question came down to
the police station and ordered the
jailor to go out and pinch the men. E.
E Kelley and NJ. Danley, because the
loads of stone they were hauling on a
narrow tire wagon were over two tons,
the narrow tire limit set by the ordi-
nance. The men will probably appeal
the case. and another ordinance will
go into the waste basket. The men
have admitted that they violated the
ordinance, so their defense. if they
make one. will be a question about the
validity of the ordinance. which ought
to be good but may not.

They had intended to then go home,
receive the parental blessing and for
giveness, and live happily ever after.
But they were, destined to meet with
disappointment and a policeman when
they got off the train.
