An eminent Catholic ecclesiastic says of. the recent Home dispatch to the London Standard that Cardinal Gibbons had presented to the Popo a protest of the American bishops against the continuance of Msr. i?atollis mission in the United States: "The American bishops have made no such protest, and the statement that Cardinal Gibbons or any one else Is Its bearer is an unqualified falsehood.' Having an intimate acquaintance with the purposes of the Cardinal's visit to Home, 1 can assure you it had no reference to any question of really great importance. He ha 1 not been In Home In ten years, and as It is usual to make a decennial visit, the present time was chosen as opportune. Naturally, beiriK with the Pope lor the first time. In vo many years, the whole range of church affairs in America will be gone over, including, no doubt, the success of the Pope's bpecial mission in America. But this will not be from the standpoint of any protest from the American bishops. The time for that Las gone by. Furthermore, Cardinal GllAxms Is known as one of th most politic men in the American hierarchy, an 1 he is the last one to be drawn into a protest or other Internal dissension. This would be the more true In a matter coneerninK Mxr. gatolll. which has been shown to be very near to the Pope's heart. The only pending questions of any importance are as to the appointment of bishops at San Antonio, Facramento and Sioux Falls. The nominations have been sent to Home and the appointments are expected daily. Three names are under consideration In each case. Cardinal Gibbons may be consulted on these. and any other pending questions, none of which, however, involves a consideration of the tenure of Mgr. SatoiU."

The Little Kingdom Seemingly Prefers Misrule anil Its Old Barbarism to Acvr .Methods. SAN FRANCISCO, Juno 23.-The following advices have been received from Yokohama by steamer under date of June 7: Although no international complications are apprehended on Formosa's account, the latest Corcan developments are justly regarded with grave anxiety. Count Inounye, the. Japanese representative at Seoul, has been recalled ostensibly to take part in consultations as to the future policy of Japan, but really it Is believed to discuss the question of abandoning entirely the at tempts to introduce social and political reforms Into the corrupt monarchy. Until a few weeks ago the dominating influence of the Japanese was securely maintained, but since the answer of Japan to the recent demand of Russia, her allies, the Core'ans, have convinced themselves that Russia alone is to be feared and courted, and that they, may safely repudiate their pledges to the Island empire. Little deference is paid to Count Inouye and the government leaders arc seeking to ingratiate themselves with the Russian diplomatic agents by every conceivable device. The Ministry of Kim Hong, which ruled under Inounye's guidance, was overthrown June 1, and a newCabinet formed, the leading members of which are avowedly opposed to the adoption of Japanese methods of reform. Public afm a ... iair3 are now controlled by the Queen through her adherents in the administration. Unless Count Inouye is permitted to employ forcible means, his chances of gainingascendency are small. From the beginning Japan has declared her determination to act only as a friendly advisor to Corea. and any attempt to impose her authority by violence would be Inconsistent with hr Erofessions and her true purpose. She oped that the feeble country could be made capable of self-government on civil ized principles. She now finds that it wishes for nothing- but to be left to its old misrule. The outlook is full of difficulties. If ine Japanese government gives up its tasK It will not only be vehemently assailed at home, but will leave Corea at the mercy ui x.u.-sia, ana mat empire win nave no scruples in securing for itself all the ad vantages of the situation. It cannot be supposed that Count Ito and his associates are blind to the awkwardness, not to say the danger of their position, nor that thev will allow the interest a their country to be carelessly sacrificed. All Japan is eagerly waiting to see in what manner they will undertake to solve the problem forced upon them by the resolve of the Corean ruler to renounce the Japanese alliance and to place the kingdom at Russia's disposal Count Inouye is expected in a few days hence and a disclosure of the government's intentions cannot be long deferred. Tai Won Kun's grandson, recently ban Ished for treason and complicity in mar der, is reported to have died in his place of exile. Public opinion credits the Queen of Corea with having caused him to be as sassinated. The Japanese authorities are making strenuous efforts to prevent the spread of cholera In Tokto and other cities through which the troops returning from China are obliged to pass. Only a few isloated cases have thus far been detected. The Corean government has engaged roreign engraver to prepare plates for a national paper currency. As the Japanese soldiers are gradually withdrawing from Manchuria they are fol lowed by lawless bands of Chinese, who treat the Inhabitants with merciless cruel ty. One hundred and fifty prominent fam ilies of the Liao-Tung district, apnrehen sive of violent ill treatment, and having no confidence in the Chinese authorities, have applied for permission to emigrate to Japan. The Japanese authorities are preparing to receive with due ceremony the Italian prince who is expected on the man-of-war Christopher Columbus. A list of the total casualties in the Japanese armies during the war has been ofilcially published. Six hundred and twentythree were killed in battle. 1 died of wounds. I wo thousand nine hundred an' eighty-one were wounded, but not fatallv and 2.W died of cholera an 3 2.9SI of other diseases. Count Mabu attempted a the beginning of Jun to resume his duties at the Foreign Office, but was compelled to abanlon the effort and take a health vacation of one month. Marquis SUnJai. Minister of K lu cation, temporarily replaces him. l'ulltlenl 9ltnntlnn lit Juiin. LONDON, June 23. The Times dispatch from Kobe says that the Japanese govern ment is determined not to permit an agita tion of its policy. The Joint committee of the opposition party has been dissolved and their meetings prohibited. Despite these measures a reconstruction of the Cabinet is probable shortly. Count Inouye has returned to Japan, and the Corean question Is being earnestly discussed. Murdered While llntliliiK. MONTGOMERY, Tex., June ZZ.A horrible murder was committed by Kmmett Chester, a farmer living five miles from here, yesterday. Chester had accused G. F. Wilson with helng Intimate with his stepdaughter. Wilson was in swimming, and, when dressing. Chester came up with a shotgun and tcld him this was his last day

Ilarrrtt Scott Allefcert Lynchers to Go on the Stand To-Day. BUTTE, Neb., June 23.-To-morrow the alleged lynchers of Barrett Scott will be placed on the stand to testify in their own behalf. They are expected to assist in establishing an alibi by declaring that they were hunting stock in the Sand Hills at the time of the lynching?. This cannot be successfully denied as the neighborhood of the three defendants homes there is a vast territory In which stock ranges and where white men are seldom seen. There was quite a sensation in court yesterday when .Miss Addie Landsworth, the pretty little sweetheart of Fred Harris, was on the stand testifying to save her lover. ine witness, Mmonson, wno warned to marry this girl and was jilted by her. had sworn to an alleged conversation between her and Harris on one occasion when both Himonson and Harris called to see her. It was the theory of the defense that the re marks made by Harris at that time, which was after the preliminary examination, were made In a joke and the defense claimed that Klmonson, through Jealousy of larris, had purposely garbled his statement. Tho sensation was increased by the knowledge that the witness was the person that A. L. Warrieg, a court reporter living- at I'hadron, had tried last winter while at South Omaha to persuade to swear to some net damaging- to Harris, she said that Harris said jokingly that next time he went to hang a man he would punch out his own eyes before he went away. Simonsbn swore that Harris had said that he (Harris) would punch out Scott's eyes. THE KENTUCKY FIGHT IT IS ALREADY WARM, RUT WILL ME RED HOT OX TUESDAY. Contest for Control of the State Con vention Snpportcrs of Carlisle and Illiu'kbarn ut War. LOUISVILLE, June 23. Generals Hardin and Clay, leading candidates for the guber natorial nomination at the Democratic State convention next Tuesday and all the other candidates -who have been here for some days were joined to-day by many of thedelegates. among the latter being Sena tor Joe Blackburn, who Is working for the chairmanship of the committee on resolu tions. Congressman McCreary is here aspir ing to the same chairmanship. Among ethers mentioned for the committee on resolutions are Oliver Jmes, W. T. Ellis, John S. Rhea and J. Proctor Knott, sllverites; J. M. Atherton, Charles 13. Poyntz, G. A. Denham, Albert S. Berry, A. I. Humph rey and "William Lindsay, sound money men. The all-absorbing topic is the resolution on the silver question. The committee on resolutions will consist of one member from each of the eleven congressional districts and two members at large, appointed by the chairman of the convention. For this reason there Is more contest than ever for the temporary organization. Congressman W. J. Stons and Albert S. Berry are most prominently mentioned for chairman, but neither the Clay nor the Hardin men will name their favorites for chairman. Although Clay is called the gold candidate and Hardin the silver candidate, yet those lines are not strictly drawn on them as are the lines of those for and against "the administration. Carlisle's private secretary and appointment clerk are here and they were followed by cx-Consressman Phil B. Thompson, who Is enthusiastic for Senator Blackburn for chairman of the committee on resolutions. Aside from the sliver Issue there is a bitter fight between the friends of Secretary Carlisle and Senator Blackburn, In which Senator Lindsay, Buckner, McCreary and other leaders are with Carlisle, while Governor Brown, ex-Governor Knott and others are with Blackburn. There is almost an endless list of candidates for minor State offices and they have had their headquarters open several days. In the early skirmishing the gold men claimed to have a majority of the delegates, but tho arrival of Senator Blackburn to-day inspired the silver men so that they are equally confident. There are so many uninstructed delegates that It wllJ be impossible to estimate the strength of the gold and silver men before the temporary organization is made and then It will be seen whether the resolutions are to be for free coinage or against It. The temporary organization will also indicate whether either Clay or Hardin controls th ennvention. The members of the committee will be selected at the delegation meetings. Tuesday, at 10 a. m., and reported to the convention at 2 p. m. All the delegates are expected early to-morrow, when each on will be seen as to his preferences for members of the committees as well as for candidate.. There is no doubt about the contest being very vigorous. It Is already warm. ' KED 3IEX WILL CELEBRATE. 4,000 Indians AVI 11 Hold a Reunion on July 4 nml .. OMAHA, Neb., June 23. Great preparations are being made by the Indians on the Crow reservation for a reunion of all the tribes In the Northwest on July 4 and 3. At least four thousand Indians are ex pected to take part In the celebration of the Nation's birthday. For several years past the Crow Indfans have been -holding their annual reunion on the Fourth. Tiie War Department has Intimated that the annual gathering of the red men on the Nation's natal day, even though for. the purpose of celebrating the Independence of the I'nlted fetates, then promulgated, is net conducive to any betterment of their condition. The Indians, learning of the op position or the lireat Father, President Cleveland, are gathering In large numbers for July 4, believing that this may be their last opportunity to get together and enjoy themselves In their own way, and so they are going to make a demonstration, eat dog soup. Indulge in their barbaric and semi-religious dances, and generally have a high old time. It will be one of the most interesting gatherings held In years, and the greatest preparations are being made by the Crows to take care of their brethren, not only of Pine Ridge agency, but of all others throughout the Northwest.

TORIES NOT ALL SATISFIED THEY INSIST THAT PARLIAMENT 3It:ST FinST I1K DISSOLVED. lso that Oilier Things He Done Before Siilifthury- Takr the Helm Comments on the Change. LONDON, June 23. It was announced this evening that the outcome of the delibera tions of the Cabinet, in consequence of the adverse vote in the House of Commons on Friday, is that Lord Rosebery, the Prime Minister, has tendered his resignation to the Queen. Her Majesty has, therefore, summoned Lord Salisbury, the leader of the Conservative party, to Windsor, in connec tion with the formation of a Conservative Ministry. The leading Conservatives declare that the Marquis of Salisbury will not formally take office until Parliament Is dissolved. He will insist that the gov ernment, before yielding the seals, shall pass a vote of an amount necessary for the expenditures for two months to .enable a general election to be held. The Conservatives will thus be In a position of attack instead of defense. Throughout tho day the situation was the absorbing topic at the chief political clubs. Several members of the Cabinet called in Downing street In the afternoon in the expectation of seeing Lord Rosebery, who returned from Windsor at 6 o'clock and drove to Downing street, where an in formal Cabinet meeting, lasting twenty-five minutes, Immediately followed. Nothing is known regarding the personnel of the new Ministry, but complete harmony exists between the Liberal Unionists and the Conservatives. The Irish members are extremely uneasy and dissatisfied. They state that after act-' ins for three years as the strongest arm of the government they are deeply concerned at the sudden end of the government without passing any of the principal Irish measures. Not only has home rule not progressed, but the measure concerning the Christian brothers, the county council bill, which reached a second reading, tpc grand jury bill and the proposal to extend the power of guardians regarding laborers' cottages were all lost. The only Irish measure now likely to be passed is Mr. Healey's municipal franchise bill, which has gone to the House pf Lords. The Liberal Scotch members ar also sore, their expectations having been disappointed. Mr. James G. Weir, member for Ross and Cromarty, communicated with Lord Rosebery this morning, urging him not to dissolve Parliament until the measure extending the benefit of the crofters act to highland tepants should have been passed. Lord Rosebery rose early to-day, and attended St. George's Chapel before breakfast. He then strolled through the grounds alone till 10 o'clock, when he went to Frog-, more, where the Queen was breakfasting with Princess Beatrice and Prince Christian: Hg then attended service at Frogmore Mausoleum with the Queen and family, after which he had a private audience with the Queen. A number of dispatches were received and opened by the Queen. Lord Rosebery returned to the castle for lunch, and returned to town in the afternoon. He held a consultation with Mr. Asquith, the Home Secretary; Lord Tweedmouth, Lord of the Privy- Seal, and Mr. Arnold Morely, Postmaster-general, in Downing street, immediately on his return. Lord Rosebery conferred with Sir Willlam Harcourt later in the evening, and a five-line whip was issued, calling on the Liberals to be In attendance at the House of Commons at 3 o'clock to-morrow, when it is expected that Sir "William Harcourt will make the official announcement Lord Salisbury did not receive his summons until too late to go to Windsor tonight. He goes early in the morning. The effect of the Cabinet's decision is more marked on the whips and officials than on the Cabinet Ministers. Lord Rosebery, on his return to town, looked decidedly sprightly, and Lord Tweedmouth, Mr. Morley and Sir William Harcourt were in a jocular mood. The court circular to-night contains trm following: "Earl Rosebery, K. C, First Lord of the Treasury and Lord President of the Council, arrived at the castle and tehdered his resignation to her Majesty, by whom It was accepted." Comments of the Tress. The Daily Telegraph (Liberal) says that with the resignation of Lord Rosebery, a weak and dangerous administration passes away. "Tho division on Friday was a true and inexorable manifestation of the failure of the government to retain any governing power. What happened to them may recur again and again, if Ministers could face the hazard of being again and again publicly declared untrustworthy, as Mr. CampbellHannerman was on Friday." The Graphic says: "It is an old trick on the part of a discredited Ministry to re s!gn office In preference to dissolving Parliament, so as to leave the opposition the task of winding up the business of a mori bund chamber. But it is the duty of the opposition to force Lord Rosebery s gov ernment to dissolve. There Is no requirement either of personal honor or public convenience obliging Lord Salis-bury Xj attempt to govern with the present House of Commons. The Times says of the resignation of the Ministry: "The Ministers must be congratulated upon having rejected the tricky and cowardly advice of some of their supporters to remain in office. We believe Lord Sa'ltbury will feel it his duty to accept the task of forming a Cabinet and that the next Ministry will be composed of representatives of both sections of the Unionist party. The fancy of the Radicals that a long time will be spent in an angry scramble for spoils between the two' sections of the Unionists Is a fond delusion. Recent speeches of the Unionists have shown a perfect agreement rspectlng ends and means. Iord Salisbury may be expected to resume the premiership. After Salisbury the Duke of Devonshire must be rernenirrd as havinc n elnlm a Cabinet office of the highest rank. If Lord

Salisbury should not become Foreign Secretary, taking, perhaps, with it the presidency of the Council, the position of Foreign Secretary will undoubtedly fall to the Duke . of Devonshire. In the Commons the d!s!ribution of the principal offices will be easily accomplished. Hon. A. J. Balfour will become leader of the House probably, with the ofnee of First Lord of the Treasury. Hon. Joseph Chaniberlain's position gives him an Indisputable claim to the very highest office next to Lord Salisbury, the Duke of Devonshire and the Hon. A. J. Balfour. By far the greatest 'opening for the tadequate display of Mr.

Chamberlain's ability and energy is the War Office. No man in Parliament Is better fitted to grapple with the task of admlnstrativo reforms and reconstruction which has to be carried out in the War Office than Mr. Chamberlain. With him at the War Office and the Rt. Hon. George Goschen In the Admiralty, we could rest assured that the national defenses and the immense expenditures made in maklne them would b in the hands o capable men of business. as well as stanch upholders of the empire." The Daily News (Liberal) says: "The Queen accepted Karl Itosebery's resignation u3 she accepted Mr. Gladstone's, without any expression of the reluctance with which she favored Lord Salisbury. We believe that Lord Rose'oery and Sir William Harcourt from the first strongly favored the course ultimately adopted. Lord Rosebery considered that a government which was weakened by a defeat in the Commons was not well qualified to deal with foreign affairs. When Sir William Harcourt has an-, nounced the resignation in the Commons ho will probaly move to adjourn for a few days. The impression prevails that Lord Salisbury will dissolve Parliament immediately. It is well known that the opposition believe that an election In July will give them the best chance of getting a majority." The Daily News says in an editorial: "Lord Rosebery and his colleagues have shown a high and prompt sense of wbM their honor and duty requires. It w 11 have been a mean and base act to d: .it ' Mr. Campbell-Rannerman. With an original majority of forty reduced by the desertion of the Parnellites and by loss and by-election the governent has performed an amount of legislative work which exacted a reluctanj eulogy 'from Mr. Chamberlain. Its successor may be more cautious, but it will neither be so bold nor so fruitful." The Standard (Conservative) says: "The government has been trading in fraudulent representations from the beginning, and probably Sir William Harcourt is not sorry that the ignoble farce in which he has played a leading part has been hissed oft the stage. Lord Rosebery did not have the courage to face the constituencies himself, and the new 'Ministry will have to undertake the dissolution at the first possible moment. Salisbury is prepared to form a government, but possibly he will endeavor to obtain certain conditions with regard to winding up buiintss. We have "reason to believe that the Duke of Devonshire. Mr. Chamberlain, Sir Henry James and Lord Lansdowne will be invited to join the Cabinet. The return of Mr. Gladstone is awaited by the Liberals with the greatest f.itcrest. Thera is no prospect that he will take any personal part in the campaign, but there Is an Impression in Liberal quarters that he -will Issue a manifesto in support of the Liberal programme. The idea prevails that the Unionist government will endeavor to arrange a compromise on an Irish land bill in order to pass u oeiore ine general election. There will, undoubtedly, "be some settlement of the Irish land question and it will be one of the first measured of the new government. Rut it is probable that they will prefer to introduce their own measure In the new Parliament." The Chronicle says that it is definitely known that the Duke of Devonshire will accept office, and that the Hon. George N. Curzon goes to the India office. Rosebery' Premiership. Karl Rosebery was offered the office of Prime Minister by Queen Victoria on March 3, 1SDI, Mr. Gladstone having offered his resignation on account of his failing eyesight. Lord Rosebery had occupied the position of Foreign Secretary in Mf. Gladstone's Cabinet and had been prominently considered for ten years past as the probable successor to Mr. Gladstone in the leadership of the Liberal party when the time for the retirement of that gentleman should come. About the only objection urged against his appointment as Premier was that the leader of the party should be a member of the House of Commons and that the party cannot be managed from the House of Lords. Lord Rosebery, upon assuming the premiership, took the place of First Lord of the Treasury in the Cabinet and called the Earl of Kimberley to succeed himself as Foreign Secretary. The leadership In the House of Commons was Intrusted to Sir William Vernon Harcourt, who retained his place in the Cabinet as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The retirement of Mr. Gladstone was considered a severe strain upon the government and many persons looked upon the defeat of the Liberals and the resignation of the Cabinet at that time. On March l- 1834. Prime Minister Rosebery defined his policy to a great meeting of Liberal leaders held In London. "The policy of home rule," he said, "will not be less definitely pursued." In regard to the House of Lords, he said: "The conviction has long been forcing Itself on me that with the democratic suffrage which we now enjoy, a second chamoer. constituted like the House of Lords, is an anomaly." This declaration aroused hopes on the part of the Radicals that the Rosebery government would offer meas ures for the abolition of the House of Lords. Its failure to do so awakened much dissatisfaction in certain quarters. The other measures which had been undertaken by the Gladstone Ministry, Lord Rosebery said, the government would continue to uush forward. The course of the new gov ernment on the subject of home rule was hv no means satisfactory to the Irish mem bers of Parliament and their support of the government on many measures ever since has been grudgingly given. The Scotch members also were many of them dissatisfied with the attitude of the government towards Sgotch measures. The Irish members were estranged by the proposal of the government to erect a statue to Oliver Cromwell at Westminster. The failure cf the government has been considered Inevitable for over a year and It has only been a question whether it should rnme In a dissolution of Parliament and an appeal to the country, or in resignation. as has proved tne case. MR. MORGAN'S VIEWS. The Senator Suy LorI !ulllnr (rent Stntesmnn. I a WASHINGTON, June Zl Great interest was manlfcstel among public men in Wash lngton when they learned that Lord Rose bery'.-? retirement had been consummated. and that the Queen had sent for lord Sal isbury to form a Conservative Ministry Naturally, the first consideration among public men here was as to the Influence which the., change would exert upon the numerous"inportant pending questions be tween the United States and Great Hritaln Most of those questions had their inception during the former Salisbury Ministry', anl have preceded in one form or -another under the Rosebery regime. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, chairman of the fenate committee on foreign relations, and a recosnized authority on all questions of International Import, was asked as to the effect of the change on some of the diplomatic matters now under consideration. "Of course It will have na direct or Immediate effect In this country." said he, "bat in an indirect way It will influence all of those subjects In which

this country and Great Britain Have ben lnvolrM. Lord Salisbury Is not only statesman, but a great statesman, anJ he will bring to the consideration of all foreign questions complete information and a liberal and prudeni policy, r'or that reason his formation of the Ministry will doubtless have an influential lnnueme upon the Bering sea questions. He devled the plan for protecting the seal. on broal and liberal lines, as it was to the interest of people in Kngland almost as much as In this country to see thjt those valuable animals were not exterminate 1. To that ejl his first arrangements with .Mr. Hayard were thoroughly satisfactory, but Canala stepped In the way. an 1 it was impassible to txecute that liberal policy whiea had been. Ie vised. Under the Roseijer.' Ministry Canada has had a controlling Influence in all Herlng sa affairs, and as a resu:t t:vre has been little breadth or liberality i:i the policy pursued." Mi-. Morgan 4asked what Influence the accfislon of Ixrd Salisbury would have on the calling of an International monetary conferVice, as provided for by the last Amrlon Congress. It was supgested to the S. -.ator that England had thus far tOfJ in the way of the conference, but tha: Mr. Gochen, the former Minister of the Exchequer in the Salisbury Ministry, - -f-il as Mr. Halfour and Ixrd Salisi himself, nas shown a decided incli-

i . m toward bimetallism, and had Riven c n . imsement that an international conft rio'T would be approved. "Nj; England will grant us no concessions that line." said the Senator, "if it !s vnt to her Interest to do so. She established the gold standard in lSlt. and has making money out of us ever pinre. so t' c.t whatever her Individual public men mar think of bimetallism., the Knsllsh people as a whole will not assent to a chance against their money-making interests. There may be ?ome semblance of concession In goinsr i ef jre the people, but when it comes to granting to this country and the rfM of the world a genuine concession on financial questions neither Salisbury nor Rosebery, nor ;iny other public man in England, can bring that about." The Senator was asked as to Lord Salisbury's general foreign policy on such questions as Venezuela, Nicaragua, Hawaii, etc. He replied: "Although nominally a Conservative, he Is really very liberal In his general foreign policy. He believes that Great Rritain already has a vast territory, and that her best interest lies in looking well after what she has in hand, instead of reaching out for more. It has been noticeable throughout Rosebery's administration that he has reached out constantly and souht further acquisition. He has gone into Madagascar, where the English have come Into conflict with the French. An arbitrary tone has been assumed as to Venezuela. Under Rosebery the Rritlsh have occupied Corinto. and in the ultimatum which was given to Nicara gua it yet remains to be determined what course Great Rritain will take concerning Chief Clarence, of the Mosquito territory. The same spirit of accession was noticeable under Rosebery as to Hawaii, where an effort was made to secure a cable landing on- Neckar island. Rut the general policy of Salisbury is not of that nature. It tends more to the development of what Great Rritain already possesses, and to that ex tent, I think, it may have a favorable in fluence upon pending questions. Members of the Cabinet who were seen expressed great interest In the minsterial change, and remarked on the quickness with which the conduct of administrative affairs In England shifted and changed in resnonse to the votes of the Commons, oftentimes, as at present, on minor ques tions. - Lord "Venl men t It Not Surprised. NEWPORT, R. I., June 23.-At the King Cottaxe. the headquarters of the British embassy here, this evening, the only per son connected with the embassy in the city was Lord Westmeath. who received tinnews concerning the ministerial crisis in London with little surprise, stating that he had been looking for such a consumma tion for some time. The adverse vote in the House of Commons on Friday hurried matters, a dissolution of Parliament having been anticipated In ouiclal circles in ixnaon for several weeks. Lord Westmeath said he was not in a position to discu?s the mat ter and refused to make a prediction as to the future course of English pontics. ENGLISH HIMETALUSTS. Thev Slim n Meniorlnl In Answer to the Uold Standard 31en. LONDON, June 23. A bimetallic memo rial has been signed by a number of Rading bankers, merchants ai-1 manufacturers do ing business in the East. It first refers to the recent anti-bimetallic memorial, in which it says bimetallism is justly in scribed as a growing agitation. It tljen nroeeeds to relate that instead of the ccmmercial suDrematv of Great Rritain and the financial ascendency of London hav ing been established since the change in the currency in 1816. it was achieved before then. Moreover, up to nearly sixty years after 1S16, the business of the world was conducted under the dominating influence of the bimetallic system. The experience of recent vears has shown that uritisn commercial prosperity during this period was due to the universal effect of the bimetallic law, -nd not to the operation of our single standard. With the abandonment of bimetallism our immense advantages disappeared. ' The experience of history, the teachings of science and the con clusions of authority, as expressed by the unanimous report of the gold and silver commission, unite in supporting the opin ion that the relative value of the metals could be maintained under bimetallism. Tho recent statements on behalf of the French government, the resolutions of the German Reichstag and the State Council of the Prussian Diet, and the emphatic declaration of the United States in favor of international bimetallism are proofs of their desire to Join Great Rritain in a serious endeavor to accomplish this end. The memorial concludes: "In the presence of the evils which cannot ; be denied we hope that the govern ment will not uffer a hypothetical danger to special interests, or a prophetic, but unsupported, assertion of harm to Industry and commerce, to deter them from a hearty ro-oneratlon with the other powers In such measures as seem to be desirable for securing a fixed par of exchange for the two metals and a more stable standard of value than we now possess." A CRY FROM MACEDONIA. Numerous Insurgent Rands Making; Trouble for the Troops. SOFIA. June 23. The Prawo (newspaper) states that the Insurrection In Macedonia Is spreading, and has extended to the country between" Pshlnla and Eriva.

Said Pasha tendered his resignation as Grand Vlzie, .on Tuesday. The Sultan declined to accept it. The coolness or their relations since is noticeable. The dot recently discovered among the students of Pancaldl College is more serious than at first supposed owing to the govern ment having hushed up the details, but It Is understood that the students were instigated by dissatisfied orhcers and civic officials. Several of the latter have been arrested and a number of compromising documents seized. The Knlner Flatter American. KIEL.

It was the homeward run of the whaleback in its opening summer excursion to Milwaukee. About Ci) souls were aboard. Flying flags, with music and dancThg. wag the order of the evening. Half a mile In the boat's wake plowed the Tival excursion steanier the Virginia, which, clearing th harbor some fifteen minutes later, had on every pound of steam possible to overtake her competitor. On the outward trip the Virginia had not only held the advantage. but doubled It, and the crew of the whaiebic were determined th t they should not be passed. And the Virginia was gaining. As tho. sun went down the boats pushed ahead, neck and neck, not more than threa hundred yards apart. The decks and prome nades of both steamers were blackened with passengers. Shouts and waiving garments told the same interest in the outcome that attends the race course. The Virginia surged ahead. Word passed from the engine room that the Christopher Columbus was resolved on a little tun. ine rival ocat snoum i allowed to gain half a mile on the whaleback, it was said, and then steam was to be run up and the situation would bo changed before reaching the Chicago har bor. Scores went below to watch the ma chinery. The clouds of black smoke forming a dense, low hanging air wake to the w haleback, the vibrations of the craft from stem to stern, the unusual plowing of water, all told that the Columbus was under a gigantic strain and would win if it was in her. Some grew anxious. Judge Grosscup and his party who were sitting aft deserted their seats and stood fore under the bridge. Thostwatching the' guage said that the pressure was exceeding the limit to which the boileri were adjusted. From 1Z2 pounds pressure. the steam had run up to 177 pounds, and was still rising. Suddenly there was a shock of explosion. The steam valve in a six-inch connecting pipe over the starboard battery of three boilers had blown out. Down In the hold, six firemen and a waterman found themselves enveloped In a scalding mist so thick one could not see hl3 hand. When they tried to make the ladder, they jammed against the heated oven doors. In their frenzy theyfell over one another and delayed embracing the slight chance of es cape offered. The blinding vapor made help Impossible. The steam crowded everywhere. It was Instantly In every compartment of the vessel. In the main saloon IjO person seated about or reclining were sudlenly seized with panic. It was Increased by all lights going out. The passengers rushed to the decks. Several women fainted. The men did all In their power to qut the frightened. Many believed the ship sinking. Then the steam reached the passenger. A score or more of women who had inhaled steam swooned and In the excitement their friends feared they had Ijeen over come by breathing the deadly vapor. And yet, with the suspense of not knowing what was going to happen, there were numbers of women who kept composed and stood ready to take to the lifeboats if necessary. On the fore deck there was confusion. Every one turned to Judge Crosscup as one in authority. "What Is the situation-li there any danger?" "he houted up lo Quartermaster Frawley, at the wheel. Second Mate Moses .McCrum. on th bridge, answered back, Nothing," but the anxious looks he sent back took all com fort out of the assurance.

"I will go below and learn the facts," said the Judge to bis party, "and you can be ready with life preservers in cahc It is serious." While the Judse was gone ccvcral men began to drag out life preservers and pile them up conveniently. The scalded men were brought up to the cabin as soon as possible, and several surgeons, who were on board, did all possible to alleviate their suTerlngs. For three hours the whalcbaclc lay, getting up steam for resuming the Journey. It was found that one battery of three boilers had been male useless, but the other was cut off from It, and at 11 o'clock there was enough pressure to start the engines. The beat Anally reached her docks In Chicago at 3:1S a. m.. with a pretty badly reared lot of passenger.. All had a story to tell to-day of the scenes on board. One of the ilrcnen says that steam wa up to ISO pounds before the blow-out occurred. The cylinders la the engine wer changed a few weeks ago. and local steamboatmen were cf the opinion that when the boilers were tested at South Chicato. cn Jane 8, the incisure of 5 poonia to
