Differences Between ROsebery

the moment when a dissolution of Parlia-
ment is threatened, owing to the split in
the unionist party over the fiscal question.
is the latest sensation in the political circles
of the United Kingdom
Sir Edward Grey. who was under secre-
tary for foreign affairs in the liberal adj
ministration of 1S92-95, speaking at New
oastle-under-Lyme today, attempted to dis
sipate the widespread impression that the
positions taken by Lord Rosebery and Sir
Henry Campbell l-Bannerman are irrecon-
cilable. He said he thought Lord Rosebery
had put wrong construction on Sir
Henrys speech at Stirling and that un-
doubtedly an explanation from the latter
would prove there had been misunder-
standing Sir Edward said the policy OF
the liberal government should be along the
lines followed by Premier Balfour, George
Wyndham, former chief secretary for Ire
land, and Sir Anthony p MacDonne!l.
under secretary to the lord lieutenant of
Ireland, in giving Ireland the widest pos
sibe scope for the development of it's local
institutions He declared, however that
he distinctly repudiated the idea of home
rule for Ireland as part OF the liberal
policy.
Austin Chamberlain, chancellor of the
eNchequer, speaking at Redditch tonight,
said that the crisis in the cabinet existed
solely In the imagination of the news
papers. There was no such crisis, he de-
clared, and he added that he was unable to
say when the general election would take

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov 27.-5 p. M
Robert Woods Bliss, second secretary of the
American embassy. who has just returned
here after a three-months' vacation in
Paris, was the victim of an outrage by
rowdies in one of the most fashionable
streets Of the capital last night. and only
escaped being beaten to death through the
timely arrival Of the police
Charge D'Affaires Eddy has reported the
affair to the authorities at Washington,
but as the incident was a plain case of
rowdyism he probably will not make off,
cial representations at the Foreign ONCE
here until instructed to do so. Mr.. Bliss
was returning to the embassy on foot from
the Yacht club. where he had been dining.
On the Horse Guard boulevard opposite
the barracks of the Chevalier Guard the
secretary was suddenly set upon by two
men, who sprang out of the darkness of
the trees. Mr.. Bliss knocked down one
of his assailants. but was seized by sym
pathizers OF the rowdies, VINO had been
attracted to the spot by the disturbance,
and he was getting the worst of 1t when
three policemen and house porter came
to Mr.. Bliss rescue and seized his assail-
ants. The rapidly gathering crowd, how
ever, which promptly sided against the
police. rushed at the officers and rescued
the prisoners. The police managed to stand
off the crowd and cover the retreat Of Mr..
Bliss. who was badly cut about the face,
but not seriously injured.
Today police captain visited the en-
bassy and apologlzed for the attack on
Secretary Bliss, but he warned the mem
bers of the embassy that the streets were
very unsafe, especially the boulevard, which
is the rendezvous OF rowdies and soldiers
and sailors in civilian clothes. The captain
advised the members of the embassy to go
armed In future and not TO venture in the
streets at night except in carriages.

No Increase In Deposits

The First National bank of Beatrice
wanted to increase its government deposits
from $4,000 to $4,000 and asked Senator
Millard to look after the matter. The
senator saw Secretary Shaw and was told
that It could not be done. No reason was
assigned except that quite 200 National
banks had asked for the same increase and
all had been refused. 1t is understood that
the secretary believes the treasury should
go slow in permitting National banks to
increase their government deposits on the
theory that IL the government should need
the money for any emergency it should be
Immediately available.

THE SUBMARINE BOAT.
Its Place Believed to Be Established
in Modern Maratime Affairs.

Its Place Believed to Be EstabIished
in Modern Maratime Affairs.
That the submarine has come to
stay is proved by the fact that Great
Britain, the strongest naval power in
the world, and once the most bitter
opponent of this type Of vessel. has
adopted them-and to the United
States belongs the credit, and to John
p. Holland the distinction Of making
these boats a success. England has
simply adopted the American designs
and it is of more than passing inte:
est to note that he American and
English boats seem to be vastly SUI
perior to the French vessels.
When one thinks that a modern
battleship or high-grade cruiser costs
today fully s5,003,00O, OR more thar
the entire value cf our navy in the glo
rious war Of 1912, the Importance oi
perfecting these smaller boats of de.
struction, which would hold a fleet Of
battleships at their mercy, becomes
apparent One of these boats, the
sample craft Fulton, has remained un
der water with gale raging over
head, of which those in the boat were
in ignorance, for fifteen hours with.
out discomfort to the crew. The
French boat Narval, in May, 1891.
travelled 2C0 miles at sea, and was
submerged for several hours. Those
tests prove the serviceablity of the
boats.
One matter of Importance, however,
seems to have escaped general notice.
If these boats are what they seem
to be, they will add immensely to the
safety and the dignity of smaller ma
tions. They will make weak ooun
tries secure from naval attacks from
powerful nations. The submarines
bid fair to sound the death knell OF
,blockades, and that of itself will bring
new situation for international
commerce and international law &c
consider-Outing.

GEOGRAPHICAL ERRORS,
Some Amusing Beliefs Of Old Time
Travellers.

in the good old times" geography
was a much more fascinating study
than it is today. Stanley had not
then followed Livingstone through AT
rica; the English had discovered
nothing interesting about the roof o;
the world, nor had they begun to spec
ulate on the probable identity of the
| chief Thibetan river with the Brahm-
aputra; Pike had not found his peak,
nor Lewis and Clarke the Rocky
Mountains. So little was positively
known about the distant world and
so much depended on the tales of sea-
men that each geographer chose his
facts to suit himself. Thus, says the
author of "Old-time Schools" there
was neyerending variety about the
geography books.
THE j5int snake" declared the au-
thor of Geography Made Easy"
more than hundred years ago, sis a
great curiosity. Its skin is as haru

parts of their body until they go to

likely to wake, in which case they re.
double their exertions until they are
again fast asleep"
THE diversions of the Scots are
