GLADSTONE RESIGNS

He Goes to Windsor Castle at the Command of the Queen, Anil Informs Her Majesty of His Desire to lietire from the Premiership of the Ministry. THE CABINET TO MEET TO-DAY When the Grand Old Man Will ' Formally Surrender Oilice. He Ursres Victoria to Name Lord Kose- . lery as His Successor Labouchero Theatens to Kevolt. LONDON, March 2- By command of the Quet-n, Mr. anl Mrs. Gladstone proceelel to Wlmlsor Castle thl3 afternoon, where they will remain as the guests of her Majesty until to-morrow. During a consultation with the Quet-n the Premier Intimated to her Majesty his Intention to resign, but the formal tender of his resignation Is deferred until after the meeting of the Privy Council to-morrow, which will be held at Wlnlror Castle. Mr. Bayard, the United States embassador, and Mrs. Bayard were among the quests who dined with the Queen this ever in?. In hl3 consultation with the Queen Mr. Gladstone explained fully to her Majesty the reasons for his retirement. The Queen expressed her regrets that the country should lose his services and offered him a peerage. This Mr. Gladstone declined to accept. Mr. Gladstone recommended that Lord Rosebery be appointed as his successor. A telegram was sent later to Lord Ronebery, who is at Epsom, summoning fclm to Windsor for 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. It is understood that he will accept the premiership, but that there will be only two other changes In the Cabinet. The general opinion in ofllc'al circles tonight is that the Queen, will summon Lord Rosebery. Mr. Henry Latouchere, in on Interview to-day, was asked what he would do if Lord Rosebery became Premier. In reply Mr. Labouchere sal I that If the Conservatives moved want of confidence in such a government he would not support the government, and h thought that at least twenty members were In full sympathy with his view of the situation, and that If they were driven to extremes they wouM even overturn a government headed by a peer. The Associated Press learns upon yood authority that Mr. Gladstone will not accept any position in the soon-to-be reorganized administration. The general feeling In the Liberal clubs is that If Mr. Gladstone was to remain a member of the Cabinet It would hamper his success and take away the latter freedom of action, though it is understood that he has Intimated his deeire to give his successor counsel and co-operation whenever required. PROTEST FROM "LABBY." Mr. Labouchere has written a letter to the Right Hon. El ward Majoribanks, the Liberal whip, saying that the feeling against a peer assuming the premiership Is strong with the Liberals as well a3 with the Radicals. Continuing, Mr. Labouchere Bays: "During the Tory administration the fact that the Premier was In the House of Lords was a stock complaint of Radicals In and out of Parliament. Mr. Gladstone's popularity was largely due to the fact that he was regarded as the people's minister, scorning even old age, while holding the premiership. Except In the House of Commons, the party coull not consult In regard to Its future leader, and we cannot for a moment admit that either the Queen or the Cabinet can select our leaders In secret conclave It la obvious that the Queen will select the man most grateful to the court, instead of to the people. The eecrecy maintained in regard to Mr. Gladstone, the seml-otliclal denials up to the last moment, the manner in which his. suceesFor was sprung upon us and the House not sitting have a very ugly aspect and smacks of cabal and Intrigue. That the Queen has a right to select the Premier is more true In theory than In fact, and It Is probable that, within the next few years, if we remain united, we shall sweep away the hereditary chamber. When we welcome them In the House of Commons as elected members they will have the s.irn claim as others to lead us. A peer for the premiership would wreck the party. If such an outrage is attempted It is the duty of every Radical to resist such a high-handed and pernicious preedlnsr." The lobby correspondent of the Times writes as follows: "Mr. Gladstone's determination to retire Is final and Irrevocable. Inasmuch as every precaution has been taken to keep the public in th oark it is obvious that a dramatic coup was intended. The frustration of the plan throrgh the Indiscretion of some one in the secret Is said to have greatly annoyed Mr. Gladstone. A medical examination prior to Mr. Gladstone's visit to illarritz demonstrated the existence of a atiract in his eye beyond the shadow of a doubt, anil that after a certain period an rperi:lon v as lripvratlve. This ?onnrmed him in rn already hsMfformed resolve to retire. Since then his eye trouble has Increased. Ie is still able to read bold writing to master the contents of most bco! but newspapers and blue took writi:.;,' p.ovu for lum a 1 il-crl-ous task. His hearing is also defective. An ordinary tete a tete i unices ro strain, but he cannot follow a general d'scust-ion, and intimate friends state that two-thirds of tho debate In Pariii.nnt never reaches his ears. 'illiam Harcourt himself has expressfd the opinion that Iord RosoK-ry ought to be Premier. The Ministers believe that the bark of the lla iioals is worse th.'n tlulr bite. It is extremely doubtful whether the thirty will join the cat when Mr. Gladstone's views are knnvn. The 'round robin of Thursday has fallen Hat. Only twenty-live signatures wen attached to it. and it will not be pue-entcd. Mr. Gladstone is strongly ncalnst any extensive shifting of the portfolios. The Earl of Klmberiey and the Iaber.il pers generally cordially approve Mr. Gladstone's desire to limit the powers of th ih; r h-'use." The Times, in an editorial, says: "Mr. Gladstone's retirement, 1" some senso, is a turning iint in the history of the kingdom. The House of Commons will be profoundly changed by Ids withdrawal fiom public life. He has Kvn the wut'-hful guardian of the dignity and authority of the House, even when th hibit of autocratic power has rendered Jus Imperious temper dithVuIt to control. The House will radly miss his restraining ia:luen-e, which is more than ever required bow. when manner is degenerating and respect lor constituted authorities Is rogarled by u.any as a mark of weakness." Tiie Times, in a further article, says: "It is unusual for the Queen to seek advice from a retiring Premier, but if. In compliment to Mr. Gladstone's long and 'altnful servlc. .she shout. l ask his opinion it 13 lively that he would name Lord Rosebery as the man best able to hold the Cabinet and party together. Her Majesty's ehoiee appears to iie between Sir William Harcourt, the Earl of Kimbvrly and Lord Ks. bery. All the Ministers, with the possible exception of Sir William Harcourt. are wil'lng to ferve under Lord Rosebery. Most of them feel Ftrongly that this v i 1 1 be the oet arrangement. It is not certain that they would all accept Sir William Harcourt as Premier. The Earl of Kiiv.'jeily might concd'ate ev Awarded Highest it ri n vi i I -s.vvvy ill

erybody. A feeling exists that if the Premier is to be a teer, which is undesirable, but probably inevitable, the choice rhould . fall upon Lord Rosebery. If It does, he will ; not hold the Foreign portfolio, and Mr. i John Morlev will leave the Irlsn G:Hce fcr -

a more aignniea position. Trie Uauy News, In an editorial, says: "We deeply and earnestly deplore the fact that Mr. Gladstone has felt it Incumbent upon himself to retire. Nobody Is able to se? from his outward demeanor and hU conduct of business any necessity for it. The Liberals would have preferred to retain him, but, of course, he must be his own Judge. We see no ground for the statement that his resignation was sprung1 u;on the party." Elsewhere the News says: "It is probable that any communication Mr. Gladstone has to make will be by letter to the chairman of his election committee. We understand," the News says, "that there Is no reason whatever why. In the course of a few months, Mr. Gladstone should not entirely recover his eyesight." SKINNED AND BURNED Horrible Fate of a Negro at the Hands of Kentucky Hunters. , His Cuticle Removed While He Was Alive and a Fire Bnilt on His Head by the Girl He Had Kidnaped. BARBOURSVILLE. Ky., March 2.-It Is reported from Harlan county that Len Tye, the negro who murdered Miss Eryan near Williamsburg, about a year ago, has recently visited Harlan county, where he kidnaped a farmer's daughter and kept her secreted In the woods for some time .until a party of hunters found her. They waited for his return, when they caught and tied him and proceeded to skin him alive. Refore h ss was dead the girl built a fire on his head, and what life remained was roasted out of him. It is said he confessed the murder of Miss Bryan, and that he had taken three other victims in Kentucky and Tennessee and kept them in the same manner he had the Harlan county girl, until they died for want of shelter and protection. Keeper Killed by n Convict. TRENTON. N. J., March 2. Joseph Wallwltz, alias John Malwitz, sentenced to twenty years in the State prison, killed a keeper while attempting to escape this morning. While keeper James Waters was paslng the convict's cell, Wallwltz stepped into the corridor and threw a rope with a noose over the keeper's head. Lassoed like an animal. Waters reeled and fell and the convict bound him to the floor, but not before Waters made an outcry. Waters managed to crawl to an electric button In one of the walls and pushed it. This sounded an alarm bell In the center where keeper James B. Llpplncott was on duty. With an iron bar In one hand and a revolver In the other Llpplncott hastened to Investigate the cause of the alarm. Suddenly he came face to faco with Wallwltz, who was carrying a slungshot and a revolver, which he had wrested from keeper Waters. There was not a witness of the terrible encounter that followed and all that is positively knowu Is that the convict killed keeper Llpplncott by shooting him In the thich and back, and that the keeper wounded the convict slightly with a bullet from his revolver. Wallwltz was recaptured afte: firing twice into a bunch of turnkeys without hitting any one. A YoutiR ManM Quadruple Crime. EUGENE, Ore., March 2. A shocking tragedy occurred here late la3t night. Albert Moss, a youth of twenty years, in a frenzy of rage, attempted to assassinate the entire Coleman family. After shcotlng and killing one woman, badly Injuring another and fatally wounding an old man, the young maniac sent a bullet through his own heart and died. Mos, It appears, had a bitter quarrel with his old father over rome family matter. In the heat of his passion he learned that the Colemans sympathized with his father In the trouble. The youth purchased a revolver and went direct to the Coleman residence. In the parlor he was received by Miss Belle and Mrs. Emma Osborne, Coleman's daughters. After talking with them a few minutes Moss whipped out his revolver and. without further warning, began shooting at thr? women. Mrs. - Osborne fell to the floor dead, shot through the breast. Miss Coleman was shot through the ivrm. but managed to escape. Moss then rushed Into Mr. Coleman's bedroom and began firing at him. Two shots took effect, one In each lung. Coleman cannot recover. Moss then ran out Into a vacant lot and killed himself. Tragic Seqnel to nn i:io;einent. NEW ROCHE LLE. N. Y., March 2.

At a late hour last night the door bell of Dr. Tefft's residence rang and was answered by the Doctor. A man was standing on the doorsteps, and Dr. Tefft immediately recognized him as Ludbeg. The latter drew a revolver on Dr. Tefft and tired at him as he stood In the doorway, but a few feet away. Dr. Tefft was not struck, but fell to the floor to simulate he was hit, thinking by that to dfter Ludbet from firing again. Ludbeg then placed the muzzle of the weapon to his mouth and pulled the trigger. He fell to the sidewalk mortally wounded. Mob Ilcpulncil by n Sheriff. SCR ANTON, Pa., March 2.

It says: "Everybody In a position to Judge believes that his own downfall will have a decided Influence in the way of purifying elections throughout the States of the Union.

Western Iusnranco Underwriters Willing to Support Such an Officer. ST. LOUIS, March 2. The Western Union of Fire Insurance Underwriters resumed its labors to-day. The principal subject of discussion this morning was "Treatment of Large Cities." The union has no Jurisdiction over St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville and Cleveland. They are the only cities in the territory over which they have no control. They are governed by local boards, and the union will endeavor to bring them within Its jurisdiction. At present the local boards make the rate on all risks. The union deems this unwise and detrimental to the underwriters. If those cities come under the control of the union a contract manager will be appointed, and he will make all rates. In the discussion of legislation a strong current of opinion In favor of the creation In the various States of the office of lire coroner developed itself, and a large number of members expressed themselves as willing to bear the expense of such an ofllce if created, in order that all fires may be inquired into. In the discussion the frequency of suspicious fires during periods of depression was commented on somewhat severely. JUBAL EARLY'S DEATH The Confederate General Who Was Routed by Phil Sheridan. Commanded tho Rebel Division That Threatened Washington and for a Time Terrified tho North. LYNCHBURG. Va.. March 2. Gen. Jubal A. Early died to-night at 10:30 o'clock. He passed away quietly in the presence of hl3 family and physician, his kindred and several intimate friends. The old gentleman seemed aware of his approaching end early m the day. Before noon he called for the morning papers, as was his Invariable custom, and attempted to read, but found that his sight was failing. Soon afier he extended his hand to Senator Daniel and calmly said: "I want to tell vou roodbye. Major." He then told his nephew, Caball Early, farewell, after which he dropped into a quiet slumber. Later In the clay the dying veteran asked Senator Daniel not to leave the room, as he wanted to talk with him about certain arrangements; but from that time he suffered such Intense pain that he did not revive the subject. He met death unflinchingly with his hand resting quietly in that of Senator Daniel. Gen. Jubal Anderson Early was born In Franklin county, Virginia, Nov. 3. 1S16. He graduated at West Point in 1S37. and was appointed lieutenant of artillery. He served In the Florida war of that year, and resigned from the army In 1S.1S to begin tho practice of law in Virginia. In 1811 he was in th3 Legislature. During the Mexican war he was major of a regiment of Virginia volunteers, and acted as Governor of Monterey for two months In 1S17. He returned to the practice of law, and at the beginning of the civil war entered the conefederate service as a colon ?1, commanding a brigade at Bull Run. He was supposed to be mortally wounded In the battle of Williamsburg. May 5. 1S2. A year later he returned to the service, promotsd to the rank of brigadier general, and commanded a division that held the lines at Fredericksburg while Lee was fighting the battla of Cnanecliorsvllle. He also had charge of a division at Gettysburg, and in 1S61 was ordered to the valley of the Shenandoah, whers he achieved success. In July he crossed the Potomac, gained the battle of Monocacy, and threatened Washington, but was obliged to retreat. Towards the end of ths month a iortlon of hla cavalry advanced into Pennsylvania as far as Chambersburg, which, by his orders, was burned, lie was defeated by Sheridan. Sept. 19, on the Opequan. and again at Fisher's Hill, three uays later. General Early lay low until Oct. 19, when he surprised th3 national forces at Cedar Creek in the absence of General Sheridan, desiring to strike a fatal blow, but the latter, with the famous ride, arrived in the afternoon, rallied his army, and gained a decisive victory. Gen. Early losing the greater part of his artillery and trains. General Parly's next important defeat was In March, 1SV, when he was totally routed by General Custer at Waynesboro, and a few days later he was relieved byGeneral Lee from the command In the valley. On that occasion General Lee, in his letter, said; "Your reverses in the vallev, of which the public and the armv Judge chiefly by the results, have, I fear. Impaired your influence both with the people and the soldiers, and would greatly add to the difficulties which will, under any circumstances, attend our military, operations in southwest Virginia. While my own confidence In your ability, zeal and devotion to the cause is unimpaired, I have, nevertheless, felt that 1 could not oppose what seems to be the current opinion without injustice to your reputation and injury to the service." After the close of the war General Early spent some lime in Europe and returned to resume the practice of law in Richmond. He subsequently took up his residence in New Orler.ns. where, with General Beauregard, he became manager of the Ixmlslana State lottery. He presided each month at the drawings, and lived frugally on the income received from that Institution.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

British Blue Jackets Landed in the Mosquito Territory, With Instructions to Protect the Chief Against Encroachments of the Nicaraffuan Government. UNITED STATES CONCERNED Trouble May Ensue if Britain Takes Possession of Bluelields. Calls for More Troop3 Issued by Brazil's President He Is Determined to Crush the Rebellion. COLON, March 2. The British war ship Cleopatra arrived here to-day from Bluefields, Mosquito territory, Nicaragua. Soon after she reached this port It became known that her commander had landed and left there an armed force of eighty men. ten officers and three boats, with instructions to protect the Mosquito chief against any attempt upon the part of the NIcaraguan government to break the treaty of 180), securing autonomy to the Indians. Upon the demand of the British commander the state of siege or martial law was withdrawn, and the Cleopatra came here in order to cable to the admiral in command of the British fleet at Jamaica for instructions. Shortly afterwards the Cleopatra began coaling up and as soon as she received an answer to the cable message sent to Jamaica the war ship hurriedly got up steam and put to sea again. She arrived at Bluefields last night. I tow Due to Drunken Negroes. NEW YORK, March 2. Mr. A. D. Strauss, the NIcaraguan vice consul, was seen at his office this afternoon. After reading the above dispatch Mr. Straus said: "Well, that Is a very plausible fetory. You see, about three weeks ago a lot of drunken negroes arrived in the Mosquito territory from, Jamaica and got in a row wdth the Mosquito chief, who Is a worthless, drunken, good-for-nothing fellow and very illiterate. They raised a great deal .of disturbance, to the a.nnoyance of the traders residing there, the majority of whom are Americans, and of the remainder the British traders are In the minority. Although the territory ha3 had Its autonomy secured by treaty, the NIcaraguan government decided to protect the present traders, and declared martial law. The NIcaraguan soldiers were sent into the Mosquito chiefs territory to quell the riots and disturbances. That is all I know about the matter. I had not heard of tho landing of British soldiers there until the dispatch was shown to me." Sir William Booker, the British consul, when the telegram was handed to him, said: "I have not heard anything in reference to the matter, but in my opinion the rights of the Mosquito territory are protected under the treaty equally by Great Britain and .Amercia." I.iicle Sum Mny.llcpomo Involved. WASHINGTON, March 2. The report that the British war ship Cleopatra has landed troops at Bluefields, Nicaragua, and interfered In the depute between Nicaragua and the reigning Mosquito chief, Is regarded with keen Interest In Washington, a! though, so far, this government has taken no step beyond keeping Informed of the progress of events through reports from Mr. Brnlda, the United States consul at San Juan Del Norte. The point Involved In the present dispute Is not new, but because of the fact that Bluefields, only sixty miles distant from Greytown, the eastern terminus of the Nicaragua canal, occupies a location of great strategic importance toward that project, it may bo that the United States will become involved in the dispute In the future. Certainly this is likely to be the case if the British go beyond the point of asserting a protectorate and seek to secure possession of the oiace. The latest'otficial r.cws received here from the United States consul at San Juan Del Norte Is of the date of Feb. 6 und 10. He reports that two hundred NIcaraguan soldiers were about to leave for Bluefields to overthrow the Mosquito government. This force occupied the town on Feb. 10. The Mosquito chief lodged a protest v.dth the British consul at San Juan Del Norte. Mr. Bigham, and besought his assistance in recovering his rights. The United States consul says It Is believed that the NIcaraguan government does not intenl to incorporate the Mosquito country by force, but that an assemblv of all the Indian chiefs will be called to choose a new council and municipal authorities. The excitement was very great. When the Bristish government relinquished to Nicaragua and Honduras her protectorate over the Mosaulto country by the treaty of lSft it was with a condition that the Mosquito Indians should be permitted to maintain Jhelr own government. Under color of this article the British, in times past, have Intervened between the Indians and Nicaragua. But the United States government has always Insisted that the British had absolutely lost all claims to a protectorate and that Nicaragua held absolute sovereignty over the Mosquito eountrv. In recent years the native Mosquito population at Bluefields has practically disappeared and the town has fallen Into the hands of Jamaican negroes and other British subjects who hove directed the government and established British forms of law. The Nicaraguan government has been desirous of asserting its sovereignty over the place, and it was probably an attempt of this kind that caused the landing of British troops. IXCItllASI; TIIK A II 31 V. Provident lVIxoto Determined to Crnnli Out the UiMzlHan Revolution. niO DE JANEIRO, March 2. On all sides here people are congratulating themselves that the election passed off quietly, but the action taken by President Pelxoto today would sesrn to denote that further trouble Is brewing and that the end of the wearisome revolution Is not so near at hand as It was first believed. President Pelxoto to-day Issued two important decrees. The first of these announcements calls for an increase In the strength of the regular army, and will, therefore, impose additional burdens upon the people and Increase the already heavy taxation to a great degree. This increase of the strength of the regular army Is said to te the first step in a movement to crush out the relellion in this neighborhood and in the south, and should this object be attained it may be said that the : dditionai burden which the people wdll be called upon to bear will, after all, ba a blessing in disguise. The second decree issued by the President provides that persons accused of treason shall be tried by military law, which would sem to indicate that auuitional repressive measures are necessary. At the sam? time it Is announced that martial law will not be proclaimed so long as the situation remains as tranquil as it is now. Yellow fever continues to spread here. Yesterday there were ninety-one deaths from that disease in this city, and in addition twenty deaths from other fevers were recorded. To the average Brazilian this spread of "yellow Jack" does not mean anything alarming, for along the coast especially people are familiar with fevers of many descriptions and are not in any great degree alarmed when the death list rises considerably. But to the foreign population the spread of fever, while not distinctly alarming, is severe enough to cause everylody to wish that the triousan-s of soldiers alout the capital were employed in cleaning the streets and In disinfecting foul places, instead of burning so much lewder with so little definite result. The Insurgents in this vicinity are fighting for their lives, and it is believed that if the Pelxoto lleet was to make a bold swoop down from Bahal and engage the Insurgent lleet in these waters tne result would be a prompt and thorough victory for the government squadron. The insurgents lost heavily in the battle at SaranJI, Bio Grande do Sul. Four hundred were killed. In addition many prise ners and guns weri captured by the government forces. LHO'S IIIHTIinAY. The Pope Nl Yenrn Old A Ielmlnttc View of AlTnlrs. ROMC. March 2. The l'ope to-day celebrated hl3 eighty-fourth birthday and the sixteenth anniversary of his coronation.

Cardinal Raffaele Monaco la Valletta, on behalf of the Sacred College, offered his Holiness congratulations, and the Pope, who was In good health, expressed his thanks, and continued: "We are In the dscllne of life: but shall continue to the last day of our life to devote ourself to making the benericnt action of the church universally felt. The need of this Is great, for all the old conceptions of honesty. Justice, authority, liberty, social rights and social duties have been overthrown. The church must feek to recall the nations to the principle of moral faith, point out the trua causes of the existing evils, denounce the designs of freemasonry, imbue the different classes of society with a feeling of equity and charity, inspirt rulers with rectitude and be governed with submission and Instill In all ardor for peace. It is for the church to revive study in accordance with the dictates of Christian wisdom, as advised in the recent encyclical interpretation of the Scripture. We pray that the germs sown by the action of the church may bring forth abundant harvest. In token whereof we give you our benediction." Kxlle und Traitor Murdered. LA PAZ, Bolivia. March 2. A sensation has been caused here by the receipt of news that the notorious General Daza has been murdered by a mob at Urjuni. Gen. Daza absconded to Europe at the beginning of the Chilian war with several hundred thousand dollars telonglng to the Bolivian treasury. For this he was declared an exile and a traitor. He lived in Paris until he had spent all his funds, and then returned to I'uno, Peru, where he was extremely unpopular.

American Crulwer In Syrian "Waters. PARIS. March 2. A dispatch received h?re from Constantinople says that the United States cruiser Chicago has started for Alexandretta (Iskanderoon), northern Syria. It is added that the American admiral Is expected to arrive at Constantinople shortly, and that an American commission will proceed to SIvfis immediately in order to settle the riuestlons affecting the United States which have arisen recently owing to the Armenian disputes. Cable Notes. Wayne MacVeagh, United States embassador to Italy, has arrived in Borne. The Berlin Tageblatt says thau Count Doenhoff. a member of the Reichstag, recently declared that Prince Bismarck Informed him that the rejection of the RussoGerman treaty means war. Explorer Jackson announces that he has accepted the offer of Mr. Harmsworth, a fellow of the Geographical Society of Great Britain, to bear the whole cost of a full' equipped scientific expedition to Franz Josef Land. Emperor William has personally thanked Chancellor Caprlvl for his speech In the Reichstag upon the Russo-German commercial treaty, and It is reported that the Emperor intends to present the Chancellor with hl3 bust In marble In order to commemorate the occasion. MES. LEASE'S SPEECH What the Boss Female Populist Told New York People. Millions in Want Because Half the Country's Wealth Is Controlled by 21,000 Persons The Modern Neros. NEW YORK, March 2. Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, of Wichita, Kan., a woman with a mission, has be-en in New York discussing populism. She came announced on the tickets as the "greatest orator In the world." What New York thought of her may be gathered from the New York Sun's report of her Cooper Union lecture: There Is nothing bellicose In the appearance of the boss Populist of her eex, who claims credit for the retirement, of Ingalls Into the cyclone cellar of political back numbers. Mrs. Lease wore a sealskin coat over a black traveling dre-ss and a blue felt hat trimmed with feathers and ribbons. Mrs. Lease Is thin and very tall. She has dark brown hair, brushed back over her forehead and blue eyes. Her cheeks are outlined like those of an Indian, and come together in a sauare and determined chin. The most striking of her facial features is her mouth, which Is broad and expressive. Mrs. Lease's voice is clear and sonorous. and rounds off long and intricate sentences after the manner taught In village academies. She rises on the tips of her toes and comes down on her heels, and is fond of saying things "without the fear of successful contradiction." Some of her views were too radical to arouse generous applause from the audience. Among other things she said: "A mighty wave of unrest is -sweeping over this Nation and this world. More than 50.00o.ono natives of India are crying for bread because that ancient and bloodthirsty foe of America, England, has demonetized silver. Long years of the money and land power ia Europe have crushed the people. This ia a natural result of years of landlordism. Right here in New York you have three-fourths of the people crowded Into one-fifth of the city's area, and In these districts you may well inscribe over the tenement house doors: 'Leave hope behind all ye who enter here.' All this is because 24,000 people are in possession of more than one-half of the wealth of the country and 4.000,000 people are denied the right to obey that divine Injunction to earn their bread by the sweat of their brows. "With all our intellect and learning we have carried the superstition of the dark ages that gold should be the standard of value: we have permitted a few to strike down the silver that was declared money by the framers of the Constitution and was found good. A hundred times a traitor Is the man who would strike down the silver dollar that makes liberty for the American people possible. This is one of the reasons why to-day we are confronted with the strange spectacle of starvation in the midst of plenty. As Nero fiddled while Rome was burning, so are the old robber jolltical parties standing helplessly by. That Wallstreet lawyer, the agent for bankers and British gold, has left the dismal swamps of Washington to hunt ducks In the Dismal Swamp of North Carolina. The Constitution has been set aside. The book of books is covered in the rubbish of the temple. Far-seeing statesmen predict that the situation 'will result in a chaos of civilization. "We fill God's sky with church spires and glided domes while His children wander unfed and homeless. The time will come when the man who puts up a church while the poor are unfed will be considered a knave or a fool. The ministers to-day are afraid to preach a doctrine that is antagonistic to plutocracy. The two jolitical iarties to-day have never had one thought for the care of their flocks. They have only thought how they could shear them the closest. We are beginning to realize that there is some meaning in the Lord's Prayer. We are realizing at last that the d?ath of every little child from starvation 13 evidence of murder lor money. For every child that diej of hunger there must le expiation and cancellation in the homes of the rich. "The mighty giant of labor is aroused in thl3 country'- He is shaking the pillars of the temple. Men will not starve in the sight of plenty, when the votary of fashIon gives to her poodle deg game, pies and chicken. Aristocracy may well tremble as it remembers the French revolution. The engines of destruction were never so cheap and so terrible ns they are to-day. "India was blotted from the nations of the earth because she was conquered by England with a Bible In one hand and a sword In the other. That self-same English foe has Invaded our own fair laud and owns the Republican and Democratic parties, bodies and souls. You can no longer distinguish between these two parties. They are alike from finance to whisky. There was a time when you could distinguish a Democrat on the whisky question. He wanted free whisky, and plenty of it. The Republicans prayed for the elders and drank with the boys." The latter rart of the lecture was a plea for the People's party and a discussion of its doctrines KcaoIuUons were adopted at the conclusion of the meeting demanding more employment in the construction of docks, public baths and underground railways for rapid transit. In conversation Mrs. Lease Is alert, rapid and earnest. Her wonls are well chosen and she is full of quiet humor. Her earnestness is impressive when she savs she is willing to die for Populist principles if necessary. Mrs. Incase told of her start In politics yesterday to a Sun reporter. In lwS she was master workman of a lo lge of Knights of LaUr in Wichita. One dav the Labor-union party, the predecessor of the Populist party, held a State convention at Wichita, and Mrs. Ise. who was in the hall, heard a voice asking her to make a speech. The voice grew Into a chorus. "Now." said Mrs. Lease. "I was almost frightened to d-uh. 1 tried to run out cf the room, but I could not find the way. Finally I had to get on the platform, and 1 maie a sj.e-?eh which was n. i,n. 1 iiuvv? been speaking ever since and am wanted everywhere from Milne to California. Tho other ilny In Cnicacro six Lyceum m-murers were after me. one of ih-m w.uiiel to make an tngag?mer.t for env t'ncu-anJ lectures. I talk on many subjects, but am

supposed to be best Informed on politics. I nevtr prepare notes. I Just find out what the people want me to talk about cn.l then I talk. Perhipa my favorite subject Is 'Ireland and Her People.' My father was Irish, and a price was once set uj-on his head by the British government for trying to free his country from British tyranny. Thus I grew up to hate England and to work for the rights of the people." OBJECT TO THE MESS

Phases of the Fiht Against Catholic Teachers at Pittsburg. Members of the Jr. 0. U. A. M. Think tho Suns Should Not Wear Their Churdi Garb While in the Schools. PITTSBURG, March 2. The State Board cf the Jr. O. U. A. M. Is considering action on the Installation of the Sisters of Mercy as teachers In the Riverside public schools. This board Is composed of State Councilor W. J. Kerr, of Pittsburg; State Ylce Councilor Robert Crane, of Philadelphia, and Junior Past Stat? Councilor Charles X. Raymond, of Mlllerstown, Pa, It was stated at the headquarters of the order to-day that the point of attack would likely be the garb of the nuns, as It Is claimed that this garb is in Itself an object lesson In religion, and Its presene in the school room is In violation of the State law prohibiting all sectarian teaching In the public schools. - That the order Is thoroughly aroused Is beyond question, and it is likely that something will be done to modify the present condition of affairs at the Riverside school. Inquiry among the people of the West End shows that there is Intense feeling In some quarters over the turn affairs hava taken. There Is, of course, but little of it in the ward In which the school Is located, for the majority of the patrons, being of the Roman Catholic faith, are wonderfully well pleased with the present arrangement, but the whole West End H Interested in the matter, and the adjoining wards are at a fever heat. One well-known cjtlzen of that section of the city said: "There is very great dissatisfaction with the turn affairs have taken at the Riverside schools. I am interested In the matter because the whole school system la involved. What is right in one ward Is right in another and It only needs a favorable opportunity to bring about a condition of things in which we will have schools which will be practically parochial, and at the same time supported by public funds. I suppose under the la the nuns have a right to teach in the public schools so long as they confine themselves to secular instruction, but they have no right to appear in the school room in the garb of their religion. If they think th;re is no teaching of their religion In that why do they not abandon It? If It amounts to nothing in a religious way let them give it up and adopt the secular dress of the professional teacher whll2 on duty. If any considerable number of the residents of the ward should object to teachers wearing this or any other peculiar garb I do not se? how the central board could refuse to remedy the matter." , , On this side of the river public opinion Is , expressed mor? freely, as there is no danger of neighborhood and social complications. Most cf the members of the orders which keep their eye on the encroachments of the Catholic Church refuse to talk at this stage of the game, but some ere willing to express themselves freely. J. V. Huston, president of the Law and Order Society, when asked for an expression on the question which is exciting so much interest, said: "Every man has a right to his religion, but every man ought to be unalterably opposed to any Interference with the public schools. The Roman Catholic Church Is making progress In its efforts to obtain control of the public schools, and of course the purpose In getting control Is the Introduction of sectarianism. They have been making this effort for many years, and seem Just now to be getting In a position to accomplish Romethinir. Some days ago I came across a letter written by my lather to a friend m in Ireland as long ago as lS.. l tnougni It worth preserving, and It reads thus: " 'Roman Catholicism is gaining strength rapidly in the United States, and may yet bo permitted to mar or destroy the fair fabric of the best government In the world. Tne Catholics are establishing parochial schools and applying for a share of the public money to support them, and ridiculing the public schools as Infidel. But, thank God, there seems little chance for the success of their schemes for a long time, as Protestantism ha3 a large majority, except In a few sections, in the United States.' "So, you see, the condition of things at the Riverside schools Is tho result of one of a series of battles which has been in progress for a long time. The Sisters shall not insist on wearing their religious garb in the school room. It Is a tell-tal? act." One of the Sl?ters was a-sked to-day by a reporter: "If serious objection Is made to the wearing of your religious garb In the school room, or if the proper authority shall order you to wear a secular garb, will you do so?" The answer was prompt and emphatic: "We will not." "Would the rules of your religious order permit you to wear a different garb?" "No; they woukl not." Father Cosgrave Is reported on excellent authority to have said that the Sisters might abandon their garb in the school room If they wished to do so, but It is evident they would not entertain tne idea, Charles C. Bailey, a high olficer in the Jr. O. U. A. M., said to-night that the American Mechanics or other patriotic orders in this community need not express any views or take any decided action to arouse the people on this question, for already a mighty wave of indignation against the action of the Riverside school board was spreading far and near and to the ubmost corners of the State. There was something so entirely antagonistic to true Americanism about this wools matter as to awaken a protest from Catholics themselves. A Now Certain Cure for Piles.
