A FALLING GOVERNMENT
The Certain Prospect of a New Brit
 iSh Ministry.

London, Feb. 26.-The Associated Press is in a position to say that there will be a dissolution of parliament within six weeks and if, as is expected, the liberals are returned to power. King Edward will summon Lord Spen- cer. the liberal leader in the house of Lords to form the cabinet.
 His majesty and all prominent poli- ticians are aware of the situation created by the irremediable cleavage in the unionist ranks by fiscal and other differences and are preparing for a speedy fall of the government and a consequent general election.
 The decision of the government against the Irish university bill com pleted the alienation of the national ists and John Redmond's followers decided at a meeting yesterday to vote with the liberals to turn out the gov ernment at the first opportunity. The resignation of the Duke of Devonshire, who was Lord president of the council, was a shattering blow to the already weakened Balfour cabinet.

Passage of Naval Appro-
 pridtiOn Bill
ARMOR PLATE MATTER
That.Is Left to the Discretion of the Secretary of the Navy-Eight Hour Suggestion Rejected, as We'll as Other Proposed Amendments.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 2G.-The house passed the naval appropriation bill today, after having had it under consideration for one week.
 There was a party contest on a num- Der of proposals during the day, and especially on an effort of different min ority members to secure an amendment to fix the price of armor plate at the figure bid by the Midvale Steel com pany. Several amendments were ruled out on points of order and the republ:- can leaders, by parliamentary tactiCg, left the question of armor plate to the discretion of the secretary of war.
 An intellectual attempt was made to have the eight hour law applied to all ship construction. The contest over submarine boats was exciting, and an amendment was finally adopted which leaves the question of the type of boat to the secretary, but increases the amount of the appropriation for such boats. The minority failed to secure a record vote on the proposal to recom- init, with instructions, the proposed in- structions being declared out of or der.

THE SENATE.

Washington. Feb. 26.--When the senate met today, MT. Scott from the committee on public buildings pre- scented a report on the condition of the old government printing office saying it was a menace to public safety and recommended that it be torn down. No action was taken on the report
 The calendar on general business was then taken up and several bills passed, among them that providing for the confirmation of entries under the homestead law when made outside of the land district in which the land is situated.
 There was considerable discussion of q bill requiring the employment of American vessels in the shipment Of government stores
 MT. Berry said in effect that the bill granted a subsidy to vessels owned in the United States and he quoted a letter from the secretary of war ex- pressing the opinion that the enact- ment of the bill would result in a three fold increase of freight rates.
 MT. Hale defended the measure against the charge that it is subsidy and said that every effort should be made to protect our dwindling com merce on the sea. He contended that the bill only puts in practice the system of other countries. He declared that the ship subsidy bill for this sea- son at least was dead.

LATER COMMANDMENT.
The Wounded Retvizan Again Takes
 Part ia the Battle.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 26.--A dispatch from Port Arthur dated February 26. says: At 1 o'clock this morning sev- eral Japanese torpedo boats were sight ed from here with sails set for the pur- pose of disguising their character. The battleship Retvizan and the shore bat teries opened fire on them and contir- ued firing until daybreak without any visible result. After daybreak a Jap anese squadron, apparently conveying troops, was sighted. At 11;15 the squad ron came nearer and an engagement, which lasted forty minutes ensued. There was no damage. Few shells fell in Port Arthur"
 Tt is expected here that the Japanese will attempt a landing soon. An in- spection of the Japanese fireships sent into this harbor on February 2ith shows that they were loaded with coal and kerosene and that electrical in- fernal machines had been placed in rha midst of the cargo

WRANGLE OVER WORLDS FAIR.

Cleveland, Feb 26.-On entering into an alliance with the Wabash for worlds fair traffic. ir order to get a share of the business. the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton has antagonized the direct lines to St. Louis. By these roads its action is considered an inVas- ion of their territory, and it is intimat- ed that it may result ;n a greater loss of traffic. both freight and passenger. than the road could possibly get out of the deal with the Wabash.
 Heretofore the Wabash has not at tempted to handle the passenger traffic from St. Louis to Indianapolis and Gin cinnati, while on the other hand the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton has not attempted competition in passenger ser vice to St. Louis.
 The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern is the acknowledged short line between Cincinnati and St. Louis, being 34C miles. The new route formed by the Wabash and the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton will be fifty miles longer than the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern The Big Four and the Vandalia line of the Pennsylvania system are each 14G miles long between Indianapolis and St Louis. The new Wabash Dayton line will be 265 miles between the two cities, only twenty-five miles longer than th7 direct routes. It is figured that in com petition for a share of the exposition business the combination will not far badly.

 The enemy's squadron of sixteen Warships approached from the Dalnv side toward the harbor of Port Arthur shortly after midnight on the 25th in- stant and at once opened fire on thre cruisers standing outside the roadstead, namely, the Askold.

The enemy then lombard ed one land battery for several min utes. Then the enemy also retreated. remaining out of range of our guns
 "In the meanwhile four Japanese cruisers separated from the enemy S main squadron and went into Golu- binsla bay, where they opened a heavy fire on one of our torpedo boats station ed in the bay and also on the coast lat teries. Consequently the commander of the fort sent troops to this noint. but no landing took place. The lombard ment lasted twenty-two minutes. at the expiration of which the Ja-anese cruisers retreated.

THE STRIKERS DEFENSE
Testimony That Agents of the Rail-
 road Were the Wreckers.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Feb. 26.-The taking of testimony for the defense was continued today in the conspiracy case against Sherman Parker and Thomas Foster, miners union leaders, charged with~attempted train wreck ing. Victor w. Mather swore that he happened to be passing the scene of the alleged attempted derailing of a Florence and Cripple Creek passenger train, and saw D. c. Scott, special agent for the road, and another man, pulling spikes from the track
 He identified Scott as the man who was using the bar at the time He said that the two men followed him some distance, inquiring if he was a member of the miners union. This testimony is depended upon by the de- fense to establish the truth of their contention that the railroad track was tempered with by agents of the com pany in order to make 1t appear that the striking miners. who were mem bers of the Western Federation of Miners organization were committing acts of violence.
 w. B. Easterly related a conversa- tion he claimed to have had with the wife of Charles Mckinney, who made a/ confession duplicating Parker, Fos- ter and other union leaders in the al- legged conspiracy.
 He said she exhibited a letter from her husband in which he asked her to state to the press and others that the confession was false. Three other wit nesses gave evidence tending to estab- fish an alibi for Parker.
