lABOUCHERE ASKED FOR
POST AT WASHINGTON.
Publication OF the Circumstances
Causes Good Deal Of Comment.

London, Nov THE publication
by Lord Eversley, former member
of M. Gtadstoncs cabirct, # the
circumstances under which the gov
at Washington to Henry Labouchere,
has caused a good deal of talk in
political circles,
As is well known, queen Victoria
refused To have Mr. Laboucherc among
Der advisers. He was consequently
barred from cabinet rank, just as have
been other clever men for having made
slips ~ having faults which the SOW
croigu o; the day refused to overlook.
Mr. Lahouchcro always posed as Il
man who never sought office, but Lord
EVerslcy shows that ne did ask Lord
Rosebery, then secretary of state for
foreign affairs, for the Washington
post, and because he did not get IT
never forgave his old political ally.
although as IL turns out, the cabinet
ana not Lord Rosebery, refused to
make the appointment.
Held Rosebery Responsible.
Lord Rosebery brought the matter
to the attention of the cabinet by
reading "A letter from I.abouchere. in
which the latter said that not having
Teen admitted TO the new government.
and feeling the advance of years. he
had no wish To remain longe, In the
House of Commons. He added that if

sion That the post best suited for him
was that Of minister at Washington

The cabinet, however. decided agains,
the appointment and Lord Eversley
expresses the belief that the attacks

Laboichcrc believed that ord aorc-
berry was responsible for the refusal

the administration and majority

sugar. It was suggested that the
bill as it stood could be so con-
strued. as to apply to all refined
sugar, which is colored with ultra

The Dutch standard which was
taken out in the house bill, slip
ulated specifically as to the color

investigation and President Viii

to it, agreed that it should be look

SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP.

~
Intimatfon That There VIII be O
Lively Scrap for Senator OYerman's
Place.
AsheviIle. June 22-Former Govern
or r! B. Glenn arrived in Asheville
yesterday. MI. Glenn is en- put to
the west, and will deliver a series OF
lectures in Illinois and Iowa during
the summer. MR. Glenn authorized
the representative of the Daily News
to say that he would return to the
state about the first Of September and
shortly thereafter will make formal
announcement with respect to his
probale candidacy for the senate.
There is little doubt that President
Wilson would willingly give Mr.. Glenn
an attractive position if he desired rec
IGNITION, but q safe guess is that the
former governor is rejecting very
deeply over the senatorial situation.
The chances appear to be a-1ittle more
even at this writing that Mr.. Glenn
will enter the list. 1t is likely that
there will be a quartet of candidates
for the position now occupied by Sen-
ator Overman. While Victor Bryant
is frequently mentioned as a probable
opponent of Congressman Stedman,
he is likewise receiving mention as a
possible candidate for the nomination
for the senate. Still another posi-
bility. a strong man, whose name has
not yet been mentioned in the public
prints, is receiving attention in high
circles. Should a primary be held
and this is thought most likely-a
second would doubtless be made nee
essary by the multiplicity Of candi-
dates. Confidence is felt by the sew
eral potential candidates for the nom
ination. and their friends, that Mr..
Overman would not receive a major
ity over the field, and as a mere plu-
raIity would not suffice, the man run
ming second best would be pitted
against the present junior senator.
1t has also been limited that a sort
OF friendly arbitration board may be
asked to settle the matter before the
first primary, and eliminate all but a
single candidate aginst Mr.. Overman.
the idea being, of course, not to mud
dy the waters, and for all hands to get
behind the. strongest man. In that
case the Overman forces would be
able to concentrate their fire upon
one man, and the contest would be
ampliied for both sides.-Daily News.

TALK ABOUT TIE JOKER.
Sheppard of Texas Makes a Dis
covery i'm Tariff Bill.

Washington, D. c., (Special.)-
An eleventh hour discovery that
the sugar schedule of the Under
wood tariff bill had a "joker" in
it which would have operated to
make all refined sugar dutiab1e at
2. cent sa pound and nullify the
provision for free sugar after
three years resulted today in an
amendment by majority members
of the senate finance committee.
Elimination in the Underwood bill
of the Dutch standard of color,
While hhas been in tariff bills for
many years, it was discovered,
made applicable to all refined
sugar a paragraph from the
>Payne-Aldrich bill relating to con-
fectionery which included the fol-
lowing words: Sugars after be-
ing refined, when tinctured, color
ed or in any way adulterated, 2
cents per pound"
The majority members of the
finance committee had their atten-
ton called to this matter by Sen
ator Sheppard, of Texas, who was
petitioned by the chamber of COM
merce of GreenviIle, Tex, to look
into the provisions which they be-

IN MEMORY.

Clyde Allen-At the mention Of his
name we unconsciously turn in fond
expectancy. straining our ears for the
first tones of that dear voice and for a
sight of the beloved features,-then
We fall back, remembering that his
voice is silent, his face strangely
frozen and bound by death; that he is
indeed gone from us. The writer
counts it the highest privilege to have
known the subject of this sketch. He
vas pure, noble, sympathetic and
kind. We may utter no nor worthy
tribute than to say, The was a man
as measured by the standard of the
Divine Architect of men. While never
making any ostentatious pretentions
of religion, yet those with whom he
daily associated could not fail but see
that his life was dictated and govern
ed by some mighty force. His was
that simple, genuine goodness which
is the best capital to found the bust
ness of this life upon. The weeping
group about his casket was a far more
eloquent eulogy than that any man
coud utter. There, together with the
grief-stricken family were the friends
OF his childhood days, those who had
known him from his infancy as well
as those who had known him but &
short time, but whether the friend
ship was of months or years duration,
the sorrow was the same: all had lost
a warm friend. We think of him not
as one dead. but rather as one called
to the Fathers house before the long
shadows of evening fell across ife's
path. Called from the mart of busy
life, together with it's interests, sor-
rows and joys into the Eternal City,
(which hath foundations, whose
builder and maker is God" And
though the way is very dark and
there are hearts that throb and break
as they grope their way in tears
through the night that seems INTERIM
Unable, still we would not call him
back. Rather we would remember
that all shadows are made in sun
shine and that sometime we'll under
stand"
God knows the way,
He holds the key,
He guides us with unerring hand;
Sometime with fearless ayes well see,
All, yes, up there we'll understand"

Slight Shake-Up i'm The Asheville
District is Reported.

ORO AVOOe
Asheville, Especial Especial En-
ployes w. A. Jolly, H. c. Weaver,
Frank West and G.. o. Alexander, of
the Asheville district, internal reve-
nue. service, have been relieved from
duty. effective June 80. 1t is under
stood that this relief is permanent,
but the men have been working under
civil service and may be transferred
to some other district.
The a assigned for the reliev-
ing of the four men from duty is the
supposed congestion in the Asheville
division, but it is understood that the
suspension of the men means the be-
ginning of a complete reorganization
OF the internal revenue service, ac-
cording to the ideas Of Internal Reve-
nue. Commissioner Osborne. Within
the past few weeks, seven deputy col
lectors have been appointed and most
Of them have been assigned to tEis
district. All of them were Democrats
and all were appointed by Collector
George H. Brown, who it is declared
is cooperating in every way possible
with Mr. Osborne for the re-organiza-
ton of the internal service.
