Chicago, Nov. 24.--A labor union

the automobile tragedy near Lemont,
Ill. According to this theory John w.
Bate, Jr., the chauffeur, was the victim
of bullets intended for Edwin Archer,
a vital witness for the prosecution in
a criminal case involving number OF
Chicago labor union officials. Archer

bile company for which Bate worked.

feurs on duty when the automobile
was hired by telephone for Mr.. Dove, {
the supposed murderer. Only mo-

change of court records. The altera-

A NEW CHALLENGER.

Lift the Cup II Sir Thomas
Upton Gives Up.

Ireland seems to be indefatigable In
it's efforts to lift the America cup,
and the Royal Ulster Yacht club still
hopes that the trophy may adorn tho
special room which they constructed to
receive it. Fearing that Sir Thomas
Upton, in face Of recent pronounce
ments, would not again enter the con-
test, the club has been looking around
for likely challenger, and now Hon.
Rupert Guinness, son and heir Of Lord
Iveagh, the millionaire brewer of Dub
lin, has practically consented to come
to the aid of the club, of which he is
one of the most liberal supporters, on
certain conditions. He insists that the
challenging yacht be built in Ireland.
and that it be manned, as far as possible,
by Irishmen. If the Royal Ulster peo-
pie can guarantee this, he is ready
with the necessary money. He wants
the challenge to be purely an Irish one.
It is, therefore, possible that Harland
& Wolf, the big transatlantic ship
builders, of Belfast, will launch the
next challenger. Hon. Rupert Guinness.

OF Great Brittany
he was heard to propose the health of
the president of the United States.
The veteran nobleman, in evening
dress, with the broad ribbon of the gar
ter across his breast, made command
ing figure, and though the heaviness OF
his expression never relaxed, and
though his utterance was righteousness
itself, what he said was so happy and
so generous, and had in it so much
thought that almost every one who lis
tened to it must have realized that the
folk who take the duke for dullard
make a grave mistake.
Probably the duke of Devonshire real
" is "tired"-not tired physically, but
tired of being bothered by things that
have no interest for him. This might
not be so were there anything left for
him to covet-but there isn't. High
rank, fortune, magnificent estates, were
bis by birth. He has held portfolios in
many distinguished cabinets during the
IS years that he has sat in parliament,
and twice was the premiership offered
to him, only to be refused. The duke
thought the responsibilities of the Office
outweighed the glory connected there
with.

HEIR TO A DUKEDOM.
Cavendish viii One Day Have a
Million q Year.
Nevv Financial Secretary. to British
Treasury IL the Nephew Of the
Duke Of Devon shire and His
Probable Successor.

Probably most people in London who
read the other day OF the appointment
of Victor Cavendish, M. p, to the post
of financial secretary to the British
treasury. were impressed good deal
less by the appointment itself than by
the thought that this young mans next
advancement, no doubt, would place
him in possession OF one of the proudest
titles, one of the greatest fortunes, and
one of the most magnificent estates In
the United Kingdom. ~
The new financial secretary Is. OF
course, the nephew and heir Of the duke
of Devonshire, the stanch old free trader
who provided one OF the political SEN
sations of the last month by resigning
from Mr.. Balfour's cabinet, just as he
did from that of Mr.. Gladstone, and who.
besides being also Baron Cavendish,
marquis of Harrington, earl of Devon
shire and earl of Burlington, has an in
come of nearly $1,0o0,OOO year, and
an. estate of $4,000 acres, containing
seven of the finest private residences In
England. The duke is now over 70 and
not in robust health, so it is not too soon
to begin to discuss the qualities of the
man who will succeed him.
Americans who have seen some OF
the many photographs and especially
the cartoons which have been published
of the famous duke. will be struck by
the uncommon resemblance that is
borne to him by the coming head Of the
house of Cavendish.
The beard is the only thing that is
missing. There is the same heaviness
no other word describes it-about the
face, the same protruding lower lip of
the Cavendishes, and the same unde-
niable dullness of eye that, perhaps, has
been mainly responsible for getting the
duke his reputation as the "sleepiest
statesman in England"
And so it was that clever funmaker
raised laugh the other day by suggest
ing as happy nickname for the duke
that of Little Wideawake. Mr.. Cham
berlain called his grace "the Rip Van
Wrinkle of politics"
The impression prevails that the
duke is listless because he is dull, but
this was dispelled when, at recent din
ner of the American society in London,

Jiminez left mere a few months ago,

to return to the Office from which he

quez, about year and half ago.
In fact he resigned the place of fis-
cal agent Of Santo Domingo to the
United States and Europe, to which
President Woz y Gil had appointed
him, that he might be free to take
