BALFOUR GOING
Will Resign His Premier. ship-Early Dissolution
 of Parliament.

London, Nov 23.-The recent ru- mors of an early dissolution of par liament and an appeal to the country are gradually crystallizing into more definite form and while no official in tImation has yet been forthcoming the Idea is prevalent that Premier Balfour will soon place his resigna- ton in the hands of King Edward. Should he do so the liberals will be invited to form government, parlia- ment will meet for few days ses- sion and a general election will occur early in the new year. The political situation was so radically altered dur ing the past week that even the gov ernment supporters no longer argue that MT Balfour has sufficiently united party at his back to again meet parliament with the object of initiating any useful legislation. The premier's appeal to the unionists at Newcastle week ago to unite on nis fiscal policy has not met with much success. On the contrary, Joseph Chamberlain. the most powerful pri. vate member of the unionist coalition, directly joined issue with his chief in a speech at Bristol Tuesday calling on uniodsm to rally to the support of his own more drastic fiscal proposals, which include fifty cent tax on grain. The cleavage of the party was thus more markedly accentuated.
 A cabinet meeting has been called for tomorrow This will be only tie second held this fall and the fact that there have been so few conferences between the ministers is taken as an- other indication of the immlnence of change of government
 On the stock exchange a definite announcement of the resignation of the cabinet is expected at any time and the whole market today was fla: in consequence The liberals are in- clined to resent Mir BalfOur's resiena- ton at the present moment. They contend that the premier should re main in office a few weeks longer and himself dissolve parliament and ap- peal to the country. The liberaS -ee no reason why the present opposition should put themselves to the ineonven- fence of forming n government in the dark without knowing what forces they will command In the new parlla- ment and they object to what they designate as Mir Balfour's tactical maneuver. whereby the liberal at. tack would be turned Into defence before election and NIr Balfour would he given a free hand to arrange with Mir Chamberlain for concerted action against the liberal party.

 to Another.

New York, Nov 23.-Election frauds are believed by the police to have caused the murder last night of W. F. Harrington in Little Naples" dance hail. and also the probably fatal in juries of another man who was found with fractured skull some distance away from Little Naples.

THELARGESTYET
Jesuit University Soon to Be Erected at
 Chicago.

Chicago. Nov 23.-Permission for the erection by the order of the Soci- ety of Jesus of Jesuit university on the north side, which will be perhaps the largest Roman Catholic instftu- ton of learning in the United States, is expected to follow action said al ready to have been taken by Arch bishop Quigley in authorizing a third Jesuit parish in Chicago. The univer- slty probably will be at Devon and Evanston avenues. Members of the Roman Catholic church who have striven for years to have the Jesuit fathers establish such an institution on the north side believe permission for the new parish will be followed in the very near future by the arch bishops formal consent for the pro feet. The selection of site. they think. indicates that fruitlon of the plans is not far distant and that the formal announcement of the arch bishops consent will be not long de Iayed.

FOR NEW
 STADIUM
Yale Not Going to
 Give Up Yet.
The Old Field and the Wooden Stands for Spec tators to Be Put in hod- ern and Up to Date Condition.

New Haven, Nov 23.-The Yale Daily News announces editorially to- day that plans are being considered by the Yale football management for the erection of stadium at Yale field to take the place of the present wood en stands for football and baseball spectators. The wooden stands have been yearly a great source of expense as extensive repairs have been neces- sary, and now the original wood used in the construction is of such age that sit can only be used with safety for short time. Wood, al though the cheapest material avail able, cannot be used safely longer than ten years, says the News. The football management considers steel to be preferable to either stone or wood. for stone has been tried i'll the stadium at Harvard. Though the re- suit has been a beautiful building. the expense has been far beyond all ex- pectations, the cost so far amounting to between two and three hundred thousand dollars. At Franklin field in Philadelphia, A stadium has been built of steel and brick, and the News says it seems that one built of either of these materials, or of steel and con- crete, would best satisfy the needs of Yale.
 As to the money to build a stadium. the News says the profits of the past few wears can be used as far as they go. When this reserve fund has been used, the management plans to float a loan for the additional ex- pense. paying it by means of gate re ceipts from the new stadium. But in order to float this loan. it will he es- sential that the management be able to promise that the price of tickets will not be reduced during the next few years. If the possibility of this is present 1t will be an extremely diff cult, if not an Impossible task. to raise the money needed for a stadium"
 The News in speaking of the con- struction of the Stadium says il seem advisable to build it in a wide arc partly roofed. This arc should contain about 25.000 seats, while bleachers could be run out along the sidellnes holding 10000 to 15.0O0 more The latter would be the best seats from which 10 see the game, bni would be unprotected from the weath- CT.

 Dec. 18Th until christmaa

Now for an early Christmas trade. At a meeting of merchants held this morning in the rooms of the Water bury Business Mems association. t was decided to open the season on Wednesday,. December 13. and keep stores open evenings from that date until Christmas. This will enable everybody who wants anything to buy on time to avoid the rush % common few days before ChristnaS. If t works well it is likely that the custom will be a regular thing annually. For several years past the st0res didn't look for the Christmas shopping until a few days before the holiday and most people held back until the last moment with the result that there was a scramble in sll the stores on Christmas eve and in many cases some could not be waited on The new de- parfure vii remove the source of the trouble and sf0pperS should take ad- vantage of the opporvunity placed at their dIsposaI and do their Christmas buying as early as possible
