left it, with his Waterloo medal, to Gen.

PROPHECY OF THE WAR.
New York Clerk Declares Present Con-
faict Will Involve America and
Will Cost 60, 10000 Men.

A spirit. which he says appeared to him
several years ago and returned to re-
peat its warning at various intervals, has
vealed to Chesser Lortie, of Brooklyn,
the coming of vast war that is to in
volve 200. 900 900 people, and in which Co.
100000 will be killed. To forestall this
horror Lortie has written President
Roosevelt and Pope Plus to warn them
that the war between Russia and Japan
is the beginning of the threatened strug-
gle, in which Japan, England and the
United States are to be arrayed against
Russia. Germany and France. Austria,
Spain. Italy and Turkey are to be in
volved, and the outcome of the whole
mixup will be that Turkey will be dis
mem bered and England will be severely
beaten. She will be saved from destruc-
ton. he says only by the timely assist
ance of the United States.
Lortie predicts that by March 10 the
vital change will occur. The prophet is

BALFoUR RECEIVES BLOW.
British Premier Defeated by Clever
Coup Of Irish Party in
Commons.

London, March 16.-Premier Balfour's
government on Tuesday was defeated
in the house Of commons by the COM
bined liberal and nationalist vote. This
reverse was due to the prohibition by
Mr.. Wyndham, chief secretary for Ire
land, on the teaching of Gaelic in the
junior grades of the Irish nationalist
schools. Mr.. Balfour, though defeated
by majority of II on this question,
does not regard the vote as one of want
of confidence, and he will not resign on
this account. His determination not
to resign was strengthened by the fact
that shortly after the foregoing defeat
he was able to secure majority of 25.
The proposition on which the govern
ment was defeated was one to reduce the
Irish education estimates by the amount
of $500.
The failure of the government to
carry the house with it on question of
purely administrative policy in it's Irish
department is generally admitted to
greatly weaken its already waning pres
tige with the country. although it is not
thought probable that any immediate
development will ensue. In the house
of commons itself, to use the words of a
prominent member of the opposition,
"all the artillery in the governments
arsenals would not make them surrender
office" 1t is learned that Premier Bal
four regards it as one of the essential
principles of his party to hold on to the
reins of government. for the present at
any rate. What he may do after Easter
still remains in doubt. The blow adj
m1nistered Tuesday makes the premiers
task of holding his party together doubly
difficult, and many supporters of the
government frankly said that they ia
vored an early dissolution of parliament
rather than again undergo the humilia-
ton experienced TUESDAY,
