prietor of the cabaret in which
twenty-five persons were burned to
death Sept. 20.
Before jury of seven women and

will contend that Cohn is guilty of
involuntary manslaughter because
his cabaret was a firetrap.
Cohn is charged specifically with
the death of Roland Lowe, one of
the victims. Cohn's defense will be
that he did not own the old build

sible for the fact that it was a fire

THE BRITISH EMPIRE.-Archibald
Philip Primrose, by inheritance fifth
earl of Rosebery in the Scottish peer
age and In 1911 created Earl Of Mid
lothian in the peerage of the United
Kingdom, is dead at 80. 1t is peculiar
~ difficult to estimate him. His politi-
cal career up to his brief premiership
1894-95) was exceedingly brilliant and
successful, but on his retirement as
premier he fairly passed out Of the
political picture. In 1896 he relinquished
the leadership of the Liberal party, and
he never made a serious effort to re-
cover 1t.
To adapt a famous Roman saying,
he would pass down in history as
uniquely qualified for the premiership
had be never been premier He was
singularly handsome, of ingratiating
manners, witty and eloquent; perhaps
the best speaker of his time. He en-
deared himself to the masses by warm
advocacy of measures to ameliorate
their condition, and by happy settle
ment of a coal miners strike. His
general popularity was not lessened by
his passion for horse racing. Being
one of the richest men in the kingdom.
he entertained magnificently, and he
was an ideal host. He owned some
$4,000 acres in Scotland and 5000 in
England, and was the most popular of
landlords, constant in Offices of kind
ness to his tenant. AS perhaps the
most important champion Of liberal i'm
perialism, he at once strengthed his
own party and conciliated the Con-
servatives. AS foreign minister, he
showed extraordinary address, winning
the amazed respect of Bismarck
himself; he gave a determining lead in
several lines of policy, especially with
respect to Egypt, Russia and the Far
East. His appreciation of the colonies
won their love, which was wildly eX-
pressed in the course Of his trip around
the world. His admirable little Life
of Pitt" gained him the respect of the
pundits, his appointment to the premier
ship on Gladstone's retirement was
generally acclaimed.
But his premiership was failure;
almost fantastically SO. In Asquiths
famous phrase, his government merely
'plowed the sands" 1t was only
partly his fault, for he was shamefully
intrigued against from within his own
party, previously concealed party di-
visions suddenly manifesting themselves
explosively; but, Of course, the chief
cause of the failure must be sought IN

ness to criticism; it touched him on

insomnia, which may also account for
his later lifelong abstinence from pub

gested by remark made on him as a
lad at Eton by tutor, the famous

other considerable figure in history has
SO disappointed expectations.
I observed that Lord Rosebery fairly
passed out of the political picture upon
the fall of his government in 1895. But
that Is an overStatement. He continued
to be one of the most ardent and eff
fective champions of liberal imperial
ism and of closer intra-inperial rela-
lions, and on the outbreak of the great
war he aroused himself and literally
thrilled the country with his superb
speeches; not even Asquith surpassed
him in that role.
