BALfOUR and CABINET RESIGN
King Edward Accepts Same and In
structs Campbell-Bannerman
for Form New Cabinet.

London, Dec 6.-The political crisis
in the United Kingdom has reached a
climax Arthur J. Balfour, the pre-
mier, has formerly rendered the resig-
nations of himself and the members of
his cabinet to King Edward, who ac-
oepted them. His majesty has invited
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman to an
interview, when he will Offer him the
mission of forming new cabinet. Sir
few days new government will be
formed
1t may be stated as certain that Ford
Rosebery will be entirely ingored in
the makeup of the cabinet and that
John Morley will be one of the chief
advisers of Sir Henry in drawing up
the list of his official family, which
will be presented to his majesty.
Mr.. Morley himself is considered like
ly to go to the Indian office, aud it is
probable that Herbert Henry Asquith
will be chancellor of the exchequer.
The foreign affairs portfolio will go
either to Lord Elgin or Sir Edward
Grey, though the latter is considered
likely to be made secretary of the colo
MES.
One thing is certain-that Sir Henry
Campbell Zimmerman has explained
his attitude on home rule for Ireland
TO those liberal leaders who are known
to be opposed to home rule on the lines
of the last bills introduced IN parlia-
ment. Since his speech at Stirling
which raised such fulore, Sir Henry
has not made any statement, but it is
confidently asserted in the liberal clubs
that he is ready with a policy which
will secure the adhesion of the British
nationalist, and at the same time
avoid raising the issue of one of the
prominent planks in his platform.
There is some uncertainty as to when
the dissolution of parliament will be
effective, but it is not considered prob
able until after the new year.
An interesting feature of the politi-
cal situation is the prospect of closer
alliance between the Irish and the
labor parties in the new parliament
James Kerr Hardie, the socialist and
independent member, in political
speech tonight frankly invited such an
alliance. He pointed out that As labor
members combined with rs Irish mem
bers would provide voting strength
which no government, however strong,
could afford to ignore.

Immense Sums Spent During Pres-
Dental CAMPAIGNS.

DENTAL Campaigns.
The Washington Post prints under
New York date what is declared to be
an authoritative statement of the cam
paign fund raised by the republican
national committee during the last
presidential canvass and the manner
of it's distribution.
The statement shows an approx
mate aggregate of $1,900,000 was rails
ed and expended.
The figures for the Mckinley cam
paign of 1900 are given as $4,000, 5000
and for 1896 as $3,S00,000
The sum expended by the demo
cratic national committee for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Cleveland in 1892 is placed
at s4,1O0O0O.
The article says about 1000 in
dividuals contributed to the last re-
publican campaign, of which 40 per
cent disclosed their identity and oO
per cent were unknown.
The largest individual contribution
was $4,000 or 100000, the funds be-
ing turned in by member working
on one of Treasurer Bliss committees,
who did not know who furnished the
money.

Berlin. Dec. 5.-Absence of news
from Moscow leads to the worst con-

The latest information was that the
old capital was in the hands of mobs
that sacked and burned all the gov
eminent buildings, and the police and
Cossacks pillaged the imperial gran
cries and cut the telegraph wires. 1t
is evident the last line Of communica-

and that Moscow is isolated, not only
from the world, but from the remain

MESSAGE SUMMARY
PRES. R0OSEYELT'S ADDRESS TO
CONGRESS TOOK THREE HOURS.
Rate Regulation Demands First Atten-
tion-Present Laws Ineffective
More Money for Canal Work-Asks
for Larger Navy-Revlse lmmIgra-
ton Laws-Change Land Laws.

washington, IL. Cat 11:40 Tues
day morning assistant secretary to the
president, Barnes, and executive Clerk
Young and a messenger left the White
House bearing copies of the presi-
dents message for reading in the
house and senate and for distribution
among the member.
The reading of the message began
at 1928, eight minutes later than in
the senate. 1t required three hours to
read.
Presidents Message.
To the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives-The people of this coun-
try continue to enjoy great prosperity.
Undoubtedly there will be ebb and
flow in such prosperity, and this ebb
and flow will be felt more or less by
all members of the community, both
by the deserving and undeserving.
Against the wrath of the Lord the wis
dom of man can not avail in times
of food or drought human ingenuity
can but partially repair the disaster.
A general failure of crops would hurt
all of us. Again, if the folly of man
mars the general well-being, then
those who are innocent of the folly
will have to pay part of the penalty
incurred by those who are guilty of
the folly. A panic brought on by the
speculative folly of part of the bust
ness community would hurt the whole
business community. But such stop
page of welfare, though it might be
severe, would not be lasting. In the
long run the one vital factor in the
permanent prosperity of the country
is the high individual character of
the average American citizen, no mat
ter whether his work be mental or
manual, whether he be farmer or
wageworker, business man or profess
sional man.
Talks on Corporations.
Corporations are the first great sub
ject dealt with. He says he is not
opposed to corporations. Like trade
unions they have come to stay. Each
must be checked when they are not
doing good. He thinks their regula-
ton possible under existing conditions
but if not the constitution must be
amended. The power to regulate must
be affirmative and given to some adj
ministrative body created by congress.
He says such body should have the
power to judge of the reasonableness
of railroad rate and to prescribe the
limit beyond which it shall be unlaw-
full to go. All decisions on rates must
be subject to revision by the courts.
He does not favor power being given
to originate rates, but to regulate
rates already fixed.
Il regard the power to establish
a maximum rate as being essential
to any scheme of real reform in the
matter of railway regulation.
All private car lines, industrial
roads, refrigerator charges, etc.,
should be controlled by the commits
sion.

international Matters.

situation.

Delegate for Alaska.

He earnestly asks for an elective
delegate for Alaska and recommends
that Oklahoma and Indian Territory
be admitted as one state and that
New Mexico and Arizona be admitted
as one state.
He goes into canal affairs, but says
he will recommend type at a later
date. He finishes with the recommen-
dation for more adequate provision for
the state department.

J. J. ROBIN, LIVING ON MILL
CREEK, KICKED BY A
HORSE.
Right Leg Cut and Several Ribs Frac-
tured-His Condition Is Con-
sidered Serious.

j. ]. Rohn, the well known pioneer
farmer, is lying seriously ill at the
residence Of his n-in-law, Harry
Gilkerson on Mill creek, as result of
being kicked by a horse several days
ago.. Mr.. Rohn had gone to his barn
for the purpose of feeding his stock
when one of the horses kicked him
with both feet. One hoof struck Mr.
Rohn on the right leg cutting a deep
cash and the other landed in his back,
with the result that several ribs were
fractured. Although badly injured Mr..
Rohn was able to reach the house and
get in bed. He lay there all night
alone, and in the morning he started
for the residence of his on-in-law.
He became too weak, however, and
was only able to reach the school house
nearby. One of the pupils was dis
patched to the Gilkerson farm and Mr..
Gilkerson. went to the school house and
removed the injured man to his resi-
dence.
Owing to the extreme old age Of Mr..
Rohn it is feared that the injuries may
prove fatal.
