GLADSTONETORETIRE A Report That the English Premier | Will Scon Resign. LONG RACE BETWEEN OCEAN LINERS The Majestic and the New York Participate. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS. LONDON, Jan. 31.—The Pall Mall Gazette declares that it learns from a source in which it has every confidence that Mr. Gladstone has finally decided to resign of- fice almost immediately. According to the Pall Mall Gazette Mr. Gladstone will announce his Gecision in a letter to the queen before the reassembling of parliament. Mr. Gladstone's decision 1s said to be due to a sense of his advanced age and the | great strain the late arduous session tm- | posed upon him. Finally, it is said, Mr. Gladstone is deeply disappointed at the re- jection of the home rule bill. The Pail Mall Gazette adds that it is un- derstood that domestic pressure has con- siderably influenced Mr. Gladstone in his decisioa. A Central News reporter showed the Pall Mall Gazette's article this afternoon to G. W. Spencer Littleton, Mr. Gladstone's secretary. He declared that he knew noth- ing about the report that Mr. Gladstone would shortly resign office. He added that he would telegraph the statement to Mr. Gladstone, who is now at Biarritz, France, and that he would inform the reporter as to the reply he veceived from the prime minis- ter. The Pall Mall Gazette's article caused much excitement in political and other circles in London. The government offices were besieged with inquirers who wanted to know if the statement was true. As a matter of fact, the statement is not regarded seriously. The Pall Mall Gazette, however, announced the fact in enormous headlines and saying that a grave political crisis has arisen and that a dissolution of pariiament is probable. The Pall Mall Gazette also says that the opposition which the parish councils bill met with had contributed to Mr. Glad- stone's decision. Not any of the cabinet ministers are in London; but at all the government offices and at the liberal central offices at We: minster the report fs discredited. Lord Rosebery, the secretary of state for foreign affairs, says that he knows nothing about Mr. Gladstone's intention to resign. At the foreign office and at other places where Mr. Gladstone's intentions might be known the Pall Mall Gazette story was discredited. The Premier Full of Fight. Later.—A letter received in London to- day from Biarritz, sent by Herbert Giad- stone, in which it was stated that the lat- ter’s father was in splendid health and full of fight for the coming season. T Majestic and New York Hurry Their Mails to London. LONDON, Jan. 31.—On January 24 a most interesting race across the Atlantic was started. The steamship’ Majestic of the White Star line crossed the bar at Sandy Hook at 4:26 p.m., bound for Liver- j pool via Queenstown, with seventy-eight bags of letters and ninety-one bags of papers, or one hundred and sixty-nine bags of mail matter in ail. Just four minutes previously, or at 4:22 pm., on January 24, the American ne steamer New York, for Southampton, clear- ed the bar with one hundred and seventy- eight bags of letters, four hundred and for- ty-six bags of papers, five bags of supple- mentary mail and one dispatch pouch, or six hundred and thirty bags of mail matter in all. A dispatch from Queenstown this morning Says that the Majesuc passed Daunis Rock | at 4:42 a.m., having accomplished the pass- age across the Atlantic in six days, six hours, forty-seven minutes, during which she covered a distance of 2,592 knots. The Majestic reported at Queenstown that on the 2th and guth she experlenced @ strong hard gale, with a heavy westerly sea. Her record to Queenstown, made in September, 1800, is five days, twenty-three hours and sixieen minutes, while that of the New York to Queenstown, made in August, 1892, is fivé days, nineteen hours, fifty-seven minutes. The Queenstown rec- ord is now held by the Campania, which ship, on November 3, 1893, placed the rec- ord at five days, twelve hcurs and seven | minutes. The Majestic this morning only landed the Irish mails at Queenstown and started for Liverpool with the English Mahe steamsh New Y k steamship New Yor! tl jaabee Islands at 2 p.m., but Cee 5s c to arrive at Southampton midnight. . eae Great interest has been manifested as to which of these steamers would be the first to deliver her mails in London. The interest shown in this test arises from the fact that the question of mail contracts has been considerably agitated | of late, and the English post office author- | ities have been severely blamed for giving gonsiderable of the mail matter to lines running slow steamships to New York, when they had the opportunity of deliver- {ing this mail matter to much faster boats, even though the latter flew foreign flags. | | This apparent desire upon the part of the | j British post office authorities to foster | slow British steamship lines at the expense | of British merchants, when the latter | | could be greatly benefited by having their | mail carried by faster vessels of the Amer- ican or German lines, sailing from | Southampton. has caused much discontent. Unfortunately for the present test, only a small amount of the mail sent by the Majestic on the present trip is intended for London. THE MOB AGA DISAPPOINTED. | Execution of Vaillant Did Not Take | Place This Morning. | fourteenth district has been changed to a | republican plurality of %84; and a demo- PARIS, Jan. 31.—The execution of Vail- nt, the anarchist, who, on December 9, | threw a bomb into the chamber of depu-| ties, for which he was tried and sentenced | | to death, was to have taken place today, | but has been postponed, pending a final | appeal to President Carnot. | The Place De La Rouquette was again! | crowded last night and this morning by | the same throng of sight seers who have | been awaiting in that neighborhood since! Sunday night. | The authorities are carefully watching all | the people who have, during the past three | nights, been hanging about the Place De} La Rouquette, as it is believed to be proba- | ble that sympathizers with Vaillant may | attempt some desperate demonstration up- | on the morning of his execution. The Figaro today says that the Jocuments in Vaillant’s case will be forwarded to the Elysee Palace and that President Carnot will undoubtedly receive Maitre Labori, | counsel for the defense, before coming to a | final decision. ‘The general opinion seems to be that Vail- | lant will be executed tomorrow morning. | Minor and Personal. LONDON, Jan. 31.—An event of great | importance in the aristocratic world, the | marriage of Bruce Baillie and Nellie Lisa | Bass,- heiress of Baron Bass, took place today. The bride is the prospective heiress | of $30,000,000, | Mr. Potter, American minister to Italy, and Mrs. Potter were present at the state ball given by the King and Queen of Italy | at the Quirinal last night. The Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha, accompanied by their son, le their state entry into Gotha today. The oc- casion was one of great pomp, the whole | town being decorated with the German and English colors. The czar’s temperature today is 98.6; his pulse is good; the attack of bronchitis ha: diminished, he sleeps better, his appetite | has improved and his weakness is abating. | Count Von Moltke, who was the bearer of a letter inviting Bismarck to visit the kal- ser in Berlin, says that when he delivered | the message the prince appeared overjoyed by the reception of the invitation, and that | he long considered what he would wear | when he made the visit. At the trial of the murderers of Mrva, al- leged police agent, at Prague today, Dale- | zal, one of the Omladina, swore that’ he and Dragoun, another of the accused, killed | who would willingly have contributed their | Mrva of their own initiative. A notorious anarchist named Merlino has been arrested at Naples after a desperate struggle. The military tribunal at Barcelona has sentenced Tomas Alted, the author of the bomb outrage at Villanueva barracks, to | penal servitude for life. Advices from St. Petersburg say that in the agreement between England and Rus- sia of the Pamir question the Russian gov- ernment has yielded that part of its de- mands which involve a guarantee of the se- curity of the Indian frontie: The Finaicial News says that the action of New York bankers toward Secretary Car- lisle’s proposed bond issue is inexplicably shabby. There have been severe storms entailing enormous loss of small craft in the Black sea. Two steamers have foundered and the loss of life foots up thirty-eight. Jackson, the organizer of the British expedition to the north pole of 1894, has ar- rived at Christiana on his way homeward after an experimental cruise in the Kara sea and a journey to Yamal. 4 FIRE ENGINE UPSET. The Driver Probably Fatally Hart o: His Way to a Fire. CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 21.—St. Rosa Catholic Church on Eastern avenue, at the foot of Torrence road, burned at 7 o'clock this morning. Loss, $50,000; insurance less than $20,000, In some mysterious way the altar caught fire, and the blaze having gained consider- able headway before it was discovered, an alarm was turned in, and the entire de- partment responded, but it was powerles: to save the building. While company No. G was on its way to the fire the engine overturned at the foot of Torrence road, and Driver Tom Riley was probably fatally injured. ——— CRUSADE ON THE PUGILISTS. Proposition to Punish Prize Fighting or Description of Fighting. DES MOINES, lowa, Jan. 31.—The Wat- kins bill to prevent prize fighting came up in the house yesterday. The bill provides that any one who is engaged in prize fight- ing shall be punished by a fine of from $100 to $1,000, or sent to the penitentiary for a term not exceeding one year, or by both fine and imprisonment. Several amend- ments were offered with a view to perfect- ing the bill and finally it was made a spe- cial order for today. Senator Rowan yes. terday introduced a bill prohibiting new: papers from publishing the details of prize fighting by rounds. The penalty is a fine of from $50 to $100. —— THEY PLEAD FOR HIM. The Wife and Daughter and Employer, and the Case is Nolle Prossed. Police Court was the scene of an » when Ronaldo T. Cross, a respectable wppearing man, was charged with the lar- ‘ceny of a pocket book, containing $50, be- longing to Dr. Thos. Smith, the manager of the Commercial Loan and Trust Com- pany of Philadelphia. Dr. Smith testified that his pocket book was taken from his desk in his office in the Atlantic Coast Line building, on Monday last, and that it was missed while Cross, who was an employe of his, was in the room and under circumstances which clear- ly pointed to Cross as the one who took it. “But, judge,” explained Dr. Smith, “I am told that this man’s wife is lying dan- gerously ill of pneumonia, and I do not care to prosecute the man, for I do not want to come between him and his famiiy at such a time.” “Your motive is a most commendable one,” stated Judge Miller, “but it ts a mat- ter for the district attorney to decide and not you, doctor.” “And then again, your honor,” remarked Prosecutor Mullowney, “this man, Cros: has given us a good deal of trouble before, and we don’t know that his wife is really il.” “I swear that my mother is fll, Mr. Mul- lowney,” exclaimed 4 well-dressed, pretty | girl, between her sobs, as she arose in the audience. “And do you think, Mr. Mul- jowney, that I would lie?” “Well, you are not a disinterested party,” replied Mr. Mullowney. . “But I would not tell a He, Mr. Mullow- ney,’ exclaimed the young woman. “I do not wish to prosecute the man, judge,” urged Dr. Smith. “I knew that he had been in trouble before I took him in my employ:to give him another chance, and I am willing to let the matter drop. What I most regret losing were four let- ters the pocketbook contained from my dead wife, which I have carried since 1870.” “Well, I don’t think you will ever see them again, doctor, for I believe they have been destroyed by this time,” remarked Judge Miller. “That is the trouble with this man Cross,” | explained Mr. Mullowney. ‘He not only denies taking the pocket book, but also re- it $ to tell what he did with the letters in “I swear to God,” exclaimed Cross, “that I know absolutely nothing of it.” “Well, your honor, as the complaining wit- ness does not wish to prosecute the man, I do not see why the government should bother itself about it,” said Mr. Mullowney, “and I will agree to a nolle pros.”” “Very well,” remarked Judge Miller, “let it so appear. Prisoner discharged.” And Cross and his daughter left the court room together, SLRS Rare, WHAT DID IT. = Upom the New York Elections, From the New York Sun (dem.). A democratic plurality of 8,825 in the cratic plurality of 11,869 in the fifteenth district has been reduced to 4,687. This is the judgment of democratic New York upon the cowardly and insensate “policy of the leaders without leadership at Washing- ton. These are the first fruits of the Wil- son bill. From the New York Times (dem.). The defeat of Brown is a condemnation of the income tax. We have warned the democrats of the south and west that the enactment of an income tax law would put northern republicans in the seats where northern democrats now sit in the House. Yesterday's special elections tn this city confirm our predictions. It is not custom- ary for republicans to be elected to Con- gress from this great democratic city. Nothing but democratic blunders and un- worthiness have bi in the fourteenth district. The income tax socialisis and populists and the dishonest money men in Congress have put their necks in a noose. If they want to tighten ic and swing off, let them vote unflinching- ly to incorporate the income tax bill with the Wilson bill. From the New York World (dem.). The defeat of Col. Brown in the fifteenth district was not unexpected, in spite of the absurdity of the person set up as a candi- date against him. it was suspected tn advance that Croker would undermine his candidacy. The boss as sorely displeased with the candidate | sc of the independence he had dis- played at Albany, and, while he did not venture to deny him the nomination, he found it convenient to prevent his election by making the most of the disgruntlements of letter carriers, policemen and firemen, and by keeping from the polls many voters | bailots to insure the election of this stal- wart democrat. From the New York Tribune (rep.). These elections turned almost exclusively on the teriff question. On all hands it has een admitted that a result materially v: ing from those vf previous elections would indicate the temper of thousands of workingmen, who cast a great part of the vote in these distzicts, toward the tariff policy of the democratic party. Democratic journals appealed to them to sustain that | policy. Messrs. Straus and Brown, the | democratic candidates, labored to convince them that the Wilson tariff would be a blessing, and that ali the prost-ation of in- dustries’ since democrats came into pow: was due to the wicked republican law The fact that the people had prospered be. yond all precedent under those same laws, and began to suffer only after democcatic victory threatened a radical change, was concealed as far as possible. The republi- can candidates made a straightforward and manly appeal to the voters to declare by their votes whether they approved the Wil- son bill. They urged the necessity of pro- tecting home industries, and from the cut- set it was evident that a host of democratic workingmen were with them. The result cannot be mistaken. It shows that the democratic party must expect to lose a heavy proportion of its wage-earning voter if it persists in ite warfare against Ameri- can industries. ——_—__+2e+—____ Tickets free food exhibit, page 5.—Advt, DEATH FROM CONVULSIONS. The Coroner’s Jury Investigate the Sudden Death of a Colored Weman. Uncertain as to What Caused the Con- valsions—The Attention of the Health Office Invited. Six citizens sat in the waiting room of the sixth precinct police this morning at 10 o’clock and heard testimony regarding the sudden death of Rebecca Tills, a colored woman, whose home was at No. 324 Garfield avenue. She died at the house of a colored woman named Rebecca Jones, who lives at 116 D street southwest. The latter is known as “Dr.” Jones, and a sign on her house conveys the information that she is an herb doctor, who cures all peculiar diseases, and that she is also a clairvoyant. Mrs. Tills died Monday night about 8 o'clock, and it was not until the next morn- ing that Rebecca Jones notified the police of her death. Coroner Woodward ordered an investigation of the case and Dr. Schaef- fer performed the autopsy yesterday after- noon. Ambrose Tills, a respectable colored citi- zen, who is a bricklayer by trade, was pro- duced as a witness. He was asked if he recognized the body of the woman in the morgue that of his wife and he an- swered i the affirmative. Night before last, he said, his wife was well and hearty and in good spirits. She had complained of a sick stomach some days before. Monday night, after supper, witness told his wife that he was going to the Capitol and she made the remark, “I know you are going to stay all night.” Witness left home, but it was raining and he only went as far as the grocery store and got a piece of tobacco. He returned home in about ten minutes and found that his wife had left the house. did not know where she had gone. é The heart-broken man complained about the action of the woman in allowing the body of his wife to remain in the house so long before sending word to the police. Since Monday he learned that his wife told some one in the “doctor's” house where be (her husband) could be found. Result of the Autopsy. Dr. Schaeffer testified as to the result of the autopsy he made yesterday afternoon. He found the body of the woman in the morgue, where it had been sent by tle Police. The woman was about thirty-five years old and weighed about 160 pounds. Witness found the woman's brain greatly congested, and described the condition of the different organs. From the condition of the body witness said he thought an at- tempt had been made by some one to per- form an abortion. “What is your full name?” the coroner asked a colored woman called as a witness, “Rachel Ann Jones,” was her reply. ¥ she replied. “I cure bed sores, spasms and rheumatism.” Witness was then questioned concerning the deceased, and she said that Mrs. Tills came to her house Monday evening about 8 o'clock. She said she wanted to see wit- ness, and when she went in the room Mrs. Tills said she wanted to see her (witness) privately. They started through the hall together, when Mrs. Tills suddenly threw up her hands and fell. Witness thought she had a spasm. An application of cold water | was made, and several doctors were sent for, but when Dr. Brooks responded, he | said she was dead. The doctor, she said, advised her to keep the body in the house until the next morning, and then notify the police, Witness said that Mrs. Tills was a stranger to her, and she refused to give her name. The coroner questioned the doc- tress about her remedies, and she mention- ed the names of several herbs which, she s@id, she used in the cure of the diseases mentioned. A colored woman named Josephine Lee, who lives at the house of preceding wit- ness, was next called. She said that Mrs. Tills appeared to be in a dazed condition when she came to the house Monday night, ard wanted to see Mrs. Jones. When Mrs. ‘Tills fell, witness thought she had a spasm. She was in the house nearly an hour be- fore witness heard she was dead. Witness did not know how long the woman had been in the house before she 5 Dr. Woodward questioned, Witness con- cerning the nature‘of “Dr.” Jones’ practice, but she professed ignorance, although she has been living there more than a month. Josephine said she heard that Mrs. Jones was sick and she called at the house to see her. She was not acquainted with Mrs. Jones, but the latter allowed her to remain there. When questioned by a juror, wit- ness said there was no excitement in the house, nor did she hear Mrs. Jones call for help. There are four rooms in the house. She thought Mrs. Tills was in the house bop half an hour before she was taken Bi ‘The Herb Doctor's Husband. James Jones, husband of the “doctor,” Was next sworn. He testified that he saw Mrs. Tills when she came to his house Monday night. He heard her say to his wife, “I want to see you.” They went upstairs and presently he heard a fall. Thinking some one had fallen from a chair he went upstairs and found Mrs. Tills unconscious. He thought she had @ spasm. The doctor reached the house about 11 o'clock. Witness was questioned concerning Mrs. Lee, and he said she had visited his house nearly every week during the past eight or nine months, and he said she had been living at the house since Christmas. “Has your wife any business?” asked the ner of witness, eS, sir,” he replied; “she’s an herb doc- tor. “What is on the sign on your house?” “Madam Jones, herb doctor, cures all pe- culiar diseases; future unfold.” “Dr.” Jones was recalled, and she said she had known Mrs. Lee since July. Mrs. Lee denied that she had known the Joneses for more than a month. She said she had never before figured in such a case as this, although three members of the jury | thought she had been before them before. She denied that she had been calling at Mrs. Jones’ house with Mrs, Brown, as Mrs. Jones said. This closed the testimony, and the jury, after discussing the evidence, returned a verdict as follows: “That Rebecca Tuills came to her death about 9 o'clock p. January 29 at No. 116 D street southwest from convutsions, the cause of which we are unable to determine. From the evi- dence we believe whose house the woman died, 1s practicing medicine in an irregular manner, and rec- ommend the case to the health officer for investigation.” ————_—_ THEY WILL BE PRINTED. The Reports of the Militia Received at the War Depart- ment. Adjt. Gen. Ruggles has decided that the reports of inspection of the militia of the different states shall be made public here- after, thereby reversing the practice of the last administration. It was then held by Adjt. Gen, Williams and others of equally good judgment that the object of the in- spection was apt to be frustrated by the knowledge that the report was to be pub- lished in the newspapers; that the only way to insure a true and unbiased account of the National Guard was to have it known that the information obtained on that sub- ject should be treated confidentially. It was alleged that all the militia inspection reports had the same favorable cast; that they were commendatory of everybody and everything. It was too much to expect, it was suggested, that army officers would be fearless who knew that their criticisms would be published and reach the citizen soldiers who had been courteous during a week or two of summer encampment. The inspector general advised to the con- trary. He insisted that the publication of the reports was instructive to army offi- cers, as well as to the officers and men of the National Guard organizations. The de- partment’s secrecy counted for nothing, he said, for copies of the militia inspection re- ports found their way, presumably from of- ficial sources, to the state officers, and ab- stracts of these reports have been published in the local papers. The War Department has practically concluded that the publi- cation of the reports will do more good than harm, and will hereafter treat them ac- cordingly.

ABOUT GEORGETOWN. Pl & The Canal is Now Said to Be Doing a Pay- ing Business. An Extension of the Time Granted to the Trustees Desired—Other Matters of Interest. A petition has been filed in the equity court of Washington county asking that the present Chesapeake and Ohio canal trustees be empowered to continue and maintain the canal as a waterway for ten years from the date of the court’s order ratifying the step. An agreement has been entered into by the canal company and the Chesapeake end Ohio Transportation Company. A clause in the contract refers to the probable early use of electricity. Should the transportation company desire to use that power, the trus- tees are to furnish the necessary wires and appliances, but at the cost of the transpor- tation company. The transportation company, which has of late received articles of incorporation, grant- ed at Hagerstown, has a capital stock of $250,000, and is controlled by men of western | Maryland. The year 1893 showed that the | canal is now more than self-sustaining. The | increase of tonnage and traffic does not in- crease the cost of running it. For the fur- ther growth of the canal business a new equipment must be put thereon. No one will take the risk of putting additional and | tainty be removed as to the right of the canal after the expiration of the fou: mentioned in the decree of October 2. The canal is now said to be in a better condition than ever before in {ts history. | ‘The trustees have borrowed, for the purpose of making repairs, $435,163.35. The receipts from net tolls, &c., to Lecember, 1893, were | $270,970.73. The expenditures have been for orders from the court, $430,764.43; for other accounts, $250,327.17.

One of the leading members of the Georgetown Citizens’ Association has re- ceived the following communication from a prominent citizen of Alexanaria county and one who is doing much toward tne building up of that section: “I have been talking today with some capitalists and raliroad builders trom New York city about constructing electric ratl- roads through Virginia. ‘here woui& be no trouble in the world te get the money or to have the entrance into Washington over the Aque- dvct bridge. I am informed that there are } millions of dollars ir the banks of New York awaiting the chance of a good invest- meat. I was told by these men that before they would purchase any of our railroad proposed roads we must first secure an en- trance into Washington. I would, there- fore, ask that you Georgetown fighters put your shoulders to the wheel and try to get the Aqueduct bridge widened or strength- | ened so that a railroad could cross it. This | would be worth millions to Georgetown. | Can't you all lend your efforts to this one point for a month or so? There is a strong desire on the part of certain parties to build the road from Georgetown to Falls Church, and thence on to Fairfax Court House. Our biil has been amended to suit Gov. O’Ferrall.” Paragraphs of Interest. The frame structure at the northeast cor- ner of 33d and M streets, occupied as a blown down yesterday at noon by the strong wind.
