Political Circles Startled by the Re- ported Intention of the Brit- ish Premier. London, Jan. 31.—Iv the most positive language the Pall Mall Ga- zette affirmed to day that Mr. Glad-| stove will, within a few days, resign the office of Prime Minister of Great Britain. This announcement, if true, | will have in mavy minds a porten tous and mighty significauce, not ; to salute her. only for England, but for Europe ard the world. Opinions differ as | to the truth of the report. It was) received at first with iacredulity on | all sides. Second thoughts gave it | more weight. If Mr. Astor is respon- | sible for the announcement it is en- | titled to far more credence than the utterance of the ordinary English newepaper. His sources of informa- tion include men to whom such mo mentous State secrets would be known as soon as to any oue. Both | personally, and as the proprietor of a prominent journal, he would have | everything to lose and nothing to| gain by startling the country with a | gigantic falsehood. London became | intensely interested as the bours! passed and no authoritative word ' was forthcoming. The Government ; offices were besieged by crowds late: this afternoon, and political clubs were thronged. Birmingham, Ala., February 1.— At Luverne, Ala., Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Bush, respectable people living about five miles from the station, were,murdered. When the neigh- | bors arose this morning they saw the windows to the Bush residence open. The doors were securely fastened. Mr. and Mrs. Bush lay in | bed weltering in blood, their bodies riddled with bullets. The crime was committed but a few hours be- fore, as the wounds were fresh. Who the assassins were is not knewn. The cause is thought to be robbery, asthe Bushs were know to have eonsiderable money, and none of it can be found. The crime is the worst that has eccured in the settlement ina num- ber of years, and all meansare being resorted to capture the murderer, and if such does occur Judge Lynch will hold a court. Swallowed Carbolic Acid. Hats off to the Ladies. New York World. In Great Britain, and in certain elements of New York society which endeavor to imitate English manners, the men when meeting ladies of their acquaintance refain from dofifing their hats until the fair one has bow- ed first, tbe theory being that it is neccessarry that by so doing the lady should grant permission to the man Eyerywhere else, however, the men bow first, leaving the lady to ackowledge their salute or not as she may see fit. The Con- tinental practice of slightly raising the hat when either making way to permit a woman to pass by or else when surrendering to her one’s seat ina pnblic conveyance, has been pretty well adopted in this country, | though not in England, and should be practiced no matter what the ap- | pearance or status of the woman. The mere fact that she is a woman entitles her to this courtesy, be she one of the four hundred'or a scrub woman. Poison in Their Coffee. Jackson, Mo, January 31. 1894.— W. ¥.

The resolution fixing the term of the president at six years and making him meilligible to sue- ceed himself was called up. An amendment was offered to make the term of office four years, and pro- viding that no president should suc- ceed himself. The amendment was discussed and adopted. A vote on ithe resolution as amended was then taken and it was rejected. The res- olution fixing the terms of members of congress at three years was also discussed and laid aside until the vext meeting. The bill introduced by Mr. Broderick (rep) of Kansas, retiring judge Cassius G Foster on account of disability was reported favorably. The first Tuesday in March was set aside for hearing arguments for and against the resolution of Mr. Morse (rep.) of Massaehusetts recog- nizing God in the constitution. Heis Haying fits.
