LABOUCHERE OBJECTS TO THE CHOICE Editor of Truth Says the Radicals Will Not to Be by a Member of the Class Being Fought, RCopurighted 1894 by Press Publishing Company 1 LONDON, March 3.—(New York World Cable—Special to Bee.)—Today's Speaker, the liberal wi strikes the keynote of the situa aying that it is a legacy of effort and conflict which Gladstone leaves to those who are to come after him and that Thursday's speech In the House of Commons will be notable on the pages of history as marking not only the close of a matchless career, but the begin- ning of a new era in the national story. The fact of this coming battle is the real secret of Gladslone's resignation. The habit of his life and thought has been against a conflict, either with the hereditary legisla- tors or the hereditary throne, and although he bowed to the will of his party and the Inexorable logic of events in making his last speech a call to that great battle, he preferred to commit the leadership to a more willing as well as a younger spirit. This is again the secret of not only his own choice of Lord Rosebery as his successor, but of the practically unanimous declaration of the radical press and leaders that he Is the one and only man for this great junc- ture. It Is+Impossible that John Burns, Herbert Asquith, the London Chronicle and Manchester Guardian, the Scottish Leader should not have had sufficient assur from the new :premier on this vast question of the future before giving him their en- “thuslastic support. Thelr choice of Rosehery s based primarily on his per- sonal qualities, but also on the fact that he Is of the very class whose hereditary privileges are to be overtirown. The Samson to pull down this temple will have the added strength and op- portunity of a member of the order which is 10 be destroyed. The real personality of Earl R ificult to describe, because le: known of him than any public man in Great Britaln. In all the agitation of the past few days, in which he has been a figure hardly less conspicuous than Gladstone, a single new fuct has been developed concerning him, He has the reticence as to his private life of Parnell, with no intimates, but with the faculty of devoting to his personal service men of every class in life. Herbert Asquith, the radical leader of the future, is his near= est friend. He has apparently the almost united support of the nationalist party, al- though I am told that not a single member of the Irish party ever met him out of the line of parliamentary business. The Chron- icle will hear of no other leader. WHY HE IS LIKED. ! In a cable letter last November I prophe- sled that he would be Gladstone's successor, because of his success as a chairman of the London county council end in settling the great coal war. Reticent almost as a recluso, "“Sas: he is, born to the purple and immensely rich, he has the enthusiastic following and affection of the trades unions and rural labor. He has the respect and esteem of his own class, the confidence of the tradesmen and merchants and the cordial liking of the queen. Of this most interesting person- ality 1 have been able to secure some facts from men who have seen much of him if they have not known him well. The details of his public life, he baving been a member of two Gladstone ministries and the real organizer of the new London council and his marriage to a daughter of the Rothschilds, are familiar to us in America, where he was several times in the 70's. From a boyhood acquaintance 1 hear that at Bton he was a very correct, quick sort of lad, who prided himself on neatness in dress. He never did anything much In school, but then he was never birched. At Carters, where he boarded, he had among others for his contemporaries Lord Randolph Churchill, the present Lord Cromer and Lord Donoughmore. When he went to Oxford he was consid pd as fairly clever and a good talker: He did not go in for honors and was best known as a foot _ball, player, at which he excelled. He also distinguished himself at a “gaudy,” which is a banquet in hall attended by the dean and canons and the rest of the author- ities, so-called because every one was supposed to appear in full academical dress, Undergraduates were allowed to bring their own wine and a mild saturnalia prevailed for the time being. During his residence the deans decided that “‘gaudys” should be abolished, so after the following All Saints day there was to be no only a formal official notice was not given of the fact. The ordinary dinner had just begun when Lord Rosebery marched into the hall arrayed in the magnificant gown of violet silk, with broad gold lace, that noblemen were entitled to, carrying a bottle of wine in each hand. There was of course a tremendous yell of approbation from the other undergraduates. Dr. San ford, senior censor, now bishop of Gibraltar, advanced from the h'g 1 table and comm ned & dignified protest against th violation of the rules. Lord Rosebery quietly but firmly argued the question, and pointed out that no formal notice had been given, He main tained his right to keep his bottles of wine and was left master of the situatidn, thus asserting and maintaining & popular right This was a fair promise of his future career s an advanced liberal. WHEN HE CAPTURED THE QUEEN Of his quickness to selze an opportunity )0 his ready wit, a story is told of him which is sald to explain the queen's liking for him. Staying in the Windsor, h day met castle grounds, and her him and stopped and conversation in t Eng by r marking on the gloominess of the weather “Madam, it fine wher was his veply prey edge nelghborhool o the queen in th majesty re bogl sh fashion one ognized ing th is alway you are Is very ambitious and has frankly ad THE OMAHA SUNDAY BE: mitted it. There Is little might now, like the duke of Fife, b law to the prince of Wales had sired, but with Infinite tact he has managed to evade that honor without giving offense, being aware that once the near relative of royalty he could never be liberal premier of England. To hold that high office has been his great ambition, and it s now apparently to be realized. The probability that his horse will win the next Derby and his known keen delight in all sporting matters fills the meas ure of his general popularity. The success of his ministry first of all on the loyal adhe Irish party. Without tionalist votes the minority. While the leader committed themselves definitely, my infor mation Is that they prefer Rosebery to other leader. Justin McCarthy, their spokes man, today sald to the representative of the A 1 that which, while reserving open advoca of Rosebery, sufficiently shows the ineli fon of the Irish party for him. Mr. McCarthy was asked if the party had made any representation to the cabinet expressing any preference for Rosebery or Harcourt as premier. He sald HOME RULE 1S SAFE 0, we don’t consider that we, as an in- dependent party, have any right to interfere in the We are willing to accept Rosebery or whoever the liberals and radi- agree on, proz:ding the rew pramier satisfactory guarantees in one form another that he is willing to bring in a measure of home rule not le: than Gladstone's bill."” “Do you expect to get these assurances “I haven't the slightest doubt in the mat- ter. Home rule will be kept in the front of the liberal program.” “As to the move for the House of Lords, do you expect it successful?” “My opinfon is that the House of Lords wilWendeavor to ward off the attack by pro- posing to reform itself, but the reform must be very thorough to allay the indig- nation against it, which has now reached a limax." “Do you think the question of the Lords will interfere with the home rule agita- tion?" I am convinced that by cordially support- ing the Lords agitation we may get a settle- ment of the home rule before the Lords are finally dealt with. They will be on thelr good behavior and will, do anything to save themselves, but that won't stop the agita- tion once it has been started, as the popular iasm for it is undoubted. hen you regard the position with con- fidence?” Certainly. The prospects of home rule been in no way injured. It may turn out that they will have been furthered. In that case I can assure you that the Irish party is well able to teke care of itself and of home rule whatever happens.” Henry Labouchere is certainly the bright- est journalist in England, whatever may be his rank as 2 politician. ~ This week he headed a deputation of radical members who demanded that Mr. Gladstone's successor should be a member of the House of Com- mons, and therefore not Lord Rosebery. La- bouchere has always been an opponent of the House of Lords. DUKES IN DEMAND. The correspondent called on Mr. Labou- chere at his house, where he discussed both with his customary frankness. “What would be the most convenient way of abolishing the House of Lords?” asked the correspondent. ““Phe thing seems to me very simple,” was the reply. ““The country having declared its disapproval of the Lords, the government could create enough new peers to provide a majority in that house in favor of its aboli- tion. They could create 500 new dukes If necessary. However, one of the chief values of a title of nobility lies in its rarity, there- fore the peers would probably consent to the abolition of their own legislative power rather than see the country filled with titled persons. It would only be necessary to threaten them with the creation of new peer- ages, as at the time of the reform bill. In either case there would be no technical vio- lation of the constitution.” “Will the liberal party seck to abolish the House of Lords entirely?” ““The party would be sa pension of the peers’ veto power probably. That would mean that when the Lords have rejected a bill passed by the house, it would become a law on being passed a second time by the Commons. It would entail a delay of about six months to every liberal measure, and that seems to be useless “Are you in favor of a at all? “Personally I am of the second chamber Is unnecessary, but I do not care if there are six chambers as long as they are elected. All T ask s that lezislators be elected.” “Do you believe that Gladstone is in favor of a complete abolition of the Lords?" 0, he would not like to be rough with them. He has a good deal of personal af- fection for many of them. The radicals de- mand that the premier shall be a member of the House of Commons, the elected body No matter how gallant he may be, the fact that he is a member of the House of Lords unfits him for the position of premier. It is Rosebery’s misfortune that he is a peer, but it may be a misfortune to have one leg, then he would not be chosen to run in a foot race. I believe the radicals will enforce their wish in this matter. If not there will likely be a split in the pasty.’ “If you abolish the Lords on account of the hereditary principle, would it not be logical to do the same with monarchy?" SAFETY OF THE THRONE. “The monarchy exists because the people want it. When they do not want it any ny longer it will be abolished,” said Mr. Labouchere. 1 understand on the best authority the im- mediate eye trouble from which Mr. Glad- stone is suillfering is not the aract one one. Since his return to England he has begun to suffer a partial loss of power In the eyelids, especially the right one, so that the 1id drops and he cannot raise it. It Is a singular fact that for a year or so before his death his great antagonist, Disraeli, suf fered the same affliction. In fact, after his elevation to the peerage Disraell always sat with his back to the public galleries on that account. Gladstone first began to suffer from his eyes as far back as fifty-six rs ago. *His labors In writing his “Church and State” weakened them so s that he It was during doubt that he on-in he so must depend rence of the nty-two na party Is in have so far not liberal cholce gives us or s comprehensive holition of the will be isfied with a sus- chamber opinion that a riously was ordered to Rome to rest this visit that he made the acquainta e of Miss C the lady whom he married th following yaear, 1899, The Trish mémbe they should not trom public lNfe to pass demonstration signifying th him, However, they have Mr. Gla who was deeply touched their expressel that th of eyes precladed his taking part in any public s are of the opinion that v Gladston without 's retirement some ¢ gratitude to been notified by ston wish state lils (Continued on Second Pake.) by | OMAHA, GERMANY PLEASED @ladstone’s Resignation Hailed with Joy in that Country.

BERLIN, March 3.—Although no diplo- matic questions have arisen between England and Germany during the last administra- tion of the Rt. Hon. Willlam E. Gladstone, the news of the great liberal leader's ret ment caused a feeling of un tion here. The German people never gotten over the excitement occasioned during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71 by the unfounded allegation that Mr. Gladstone en- couraged the sale of arms and ammunition te France. In addition, Mr. Gladstone was generally regarded in German political circles as being an enemy of the Dreibund and as respon- sible for England’s isolation in Buropean politics. Therefore, the news that Lord Roscbery is to become prime minister of England is received in Germany with hearty welcome, The committee of the Reichstag today adopted the first of the twelve clauses of the Ru rman commercial treaty. With the exception of clause 8, dealing with im- port duties, discussion of which was deferred, the first elghteen clauses of the final pro- tocol were also adopted and the committee adjourned until Monday. No prolonged di- ion of clause 8 is expected. RUSSIAN COMMERCIAL TREATY. The galleries of the Reichstag have been crowded throughout the week with visitors anxious to hear the treaty debates. The visitors included the Russian and United States ambassadors and many other distin- guishied people. But the house soon became wearied of the discussion and President Levetzow gave expression on Thursday to the desire evinced in many quarters to close the debate. The editor of the Novee Vremya has arrived here from St. Petersburg in or- der to promote a fraternal celebration of the passage of the Russo-German commercial treaty. Of course the usual number of rumors are in circulation regarding the treaty and the manner in which it is re- garded by people of high rank. For in- stance, it is still alleged that Dr. Miquel, the minister of finance, while in after dinner mood, expressed the opinion that the agrarians woilild be “asses” if they sup- ported the treaty. Some color is given to this report by the fact that Dr. Miquel's support of the treaty has been admittedly lukewarm and dictated more by expediency than by conviction. Thus it Is quite possi- ble that he might have sald some such thing in an unguarded moment, but Dr. Miquel's speech in the Reichstag in, support of the commercial treaty thoroughly dismissed any Idea that he would encourage opposition to this important measure, The time of the silver commission will be chiefly occupled in discussing the follow- ing questions: First, is it probable that the gold production of the world will suffice for the demand for coinage? Under the aBbve head special attention will be paid to the Increased demand for gold, resulting from the recent measures adopted by the Indian government and by thd govern- ment of the United States. Second, has the lack of gold and the general depression resulting from its enhunced value been moticeable in countries with a gold currency? Third, what influence have the silver fluctuations exercised on the monetar:; and economic situation of Germany Fourth, how could the evils or dangers caused in Germany by the present currency be removed or lessened? Throughout Germany and in the other countries of Europe great interest s taken in the silver commission and financiers and others are awaiting the result of its delibera- tions with a great deal of anxiety. The Villa Angiolina and the Villa Amelia have been taken Abazzla for the use of the imperial family. These villas are situated in the finest part of the seaside resort referred to and are surrounded by a splendid park, which is usually open to visitors, During the imperfal visit, however, the park will bé closed to the public and the pavilion, where a band of music usually plays during the sun er months, will be converted into a luxurious open air nursery for the use of the imperial children, The empress of Germany and her children are expected to arrive at Abazzia on March 10, though it Is possible that their arrival may be delayed for some days after that date, as the strength of the empress has been considerably lowered by a prolonged and possibly too severe course of dieting, which her majesty has thought fit to follow in order to try and counteract her tendency to grow stouter. The empress fs now said to be in need of repose and is re- ported to have been influenced against any further experiments in the dieting direction. In order that the empress may have com- plete rest and as little worry as possible, the imperial children will be lodged In the Villa Angiolina, and the empress will take up her abode in the Villa Amelia, WILLIAM'S PROGRAM, Emperor William is expected to join the and the children at Abazzla about a week after the imperial family arrives there, and, It Is said, his imperial highness will stay at the seaside for about a month, During this time, Emperor Willlam, accord- ing to the program, will make several trips by sea to the Istrian and Dalmatian coasts The Istrian coast is mountainous and con- talns some of the most picturesque scenery on th shores of the Adriatic sea, The Dalmatian coast is also mountalnous and the scene on its riv Is beautiful.

Later the Saxon minister of war, General von Planitz, condemned the fll treatment of private soldiers, adding, however, that un- fortunately threats of the most draconic punishment failed wholly to suppress such occurrences. educa- on cus von OVER I LIGION, esterday’s Debato in the French Chamber of Deputies on the Subject. PARIS, March 3.—The municipal authort ties of St. Denis, a suburb of Paris, recently issued an order prohibiting the exhibition of certain religious emblems. The order ex- cited considerable feeling, and today the mat- ter was officially brought to the notice of the Chamber of Deputies. A nolsy debate re- sulted on the religious policy of the govern- ment. A curlous incident of the debate was a speech by M. Spullor, minister of public wor- ship, who took advantage of the occasion to avow that he himself was now a free thinker, as he had always been. He said, however, great advantages would accrue from toleration in religious matters. Prime Minister Casimir-Perier thought that in the struggle between the church and state the latter had triumphed, and it would, therefore, he said, be undignified for the government to follow a rigorous policy to- ward Catholics. Ex-Minister Gobelet argued that the gov- ernment was following @ mistaken policy. The church, he declared, had not yet been disarmed. M. Brisson demanded urgency for a motion recommending the government to persist in an anti-clerical policy. This de- mand was rejected, and finally the Chamber, by a vote of 302 to 119, adopted a motion declaring its confidence: in the government.

The trouble was the outgrowth of a demand by a part of the'force of employes for higher wages and shorter hours. The fore- man of the ranch, Jose Vilardo, refused the demand and was supported In his position by a large number of his workmen. Last even- ing the two factigns met and & bloody fight took place, all kinds of weapons being used by the belligerents, Three men are reported killed and fifteen wounded, The riot was finally suppressed by the authoritics and a large number of arrests were made.

LONDON, March 3.—In the queen's bench division of the high court of justic today before Baron Pallock the consideration of the point of law connected with the ver- Qiet of 20 shillings damages obtained by Mrs, John Biddhiph Martin (Victoria Woodhull) against the trustees of the British museum was taken up. Counsel for Mrs. Martin con- tended that the verdict of the jury entitled the plaitift to judgment without hearing counsel for the trustees of the muscum. Baron Pollock sald that the verdict quite consistent and in favor of the defend- ants and therefore he gave judgment, with for the defendants, but on Mrs. Mar- tin's counsel giving notice of appeal the i court stayed execution. In the Italian Chamber. ROME, March 3.—Upon conclusion today of the debate In the Chamber of Deputies on which vigorous attacks had been made upon the government, Prime Minister Crispl made a telling speech in reply to the assaults of the opposition. When the debate and the prime minister's speech had been finished a vote was taken which was a declaration of confidence. The Chamber, by a large major- ity, declared its confidence in the Crispi cab- inet. The vote was standing, 342 to 400, was Tricd to Blow Up & Church. PRAGUE, March 3.—The inhabitants of Jungbuzalau, & town of Behemla, were star- tled today by learming an attempt had been made by some miscreant to blow up the principal ehurch in the town.

The board deputed the widow of the late Rev. Mr. Newell as a sort of monitor in the establishment. Incestant bickering and heartburning followed. She demoralized the servants and prejudiced the creditors, leaving the matron powerless, Some weeks ago, when affairs were beginning to collapse, Mrs. Newell withdrew to Plain- fleld, N. J., sending her son, a youth of 20, here to represent her. He made a claim on a share of the club furniture, belonging, he alleged, to his mother. Creditors also began to press for money due, and servants for wages. Mrs. Irvine, who has all her for- tune In the enterprise, called in a lawyer, but as he did not know French he gave her no aid.

[Copyrighted, 184, by the Associatel Prew.] ROME, Feb., 16.—As recently telegraphed, a rumor was current that Cardinal Lede- chowskl, prefect of the congregation of the propaganda fide, had manifested a wish to retire from his post in consequence of dis- sensions which were said to have sprung up between himself and Cardinal Rampolia. The report added that his eminence was dis- satisfied both with the policy of the Vatican in France and with the results of Mgr. Satolli’s mission to the United States. After a full Inquiry into these which are still current, I am in a po state that the highest eccleslastical taries not only regard them as premature, but emphatically declare that the whole story is as bascless as the fabric of a dream It is quite true that Cardinal Ledechowski is at variance with the secretary of state to the Holy Sce on the general lines of pon- tifical policy.

These reflections point to the existence of latent causes of possible dissensions, but they do not justify the assumption that the cardi- nal intends to retire, an assumption probably traceable to one of his outbreaks of {1l humor in the presence of his intimates. Moreover, his excellency fills a post not usually relin- quished as lightheartedly and cheertully as the rumors mentioned seem to sugge As pre- fect of the propaganda he stands nearest to the pope, he wields extensive powers, his authority being almost unlimited. He is called, indeed, tho vice pope and is to all intents and purposes pope of the missions. Thero is no instance, it Is believed, of any pope of Rome having relinquished the tiara unless under extreme pressure, and it Is | difficult to recall a case in which a prefect. of the propaganda has resigned on account of disagreement with the papal secretary of state. Such an act would be one of those | scandals which rarely disturb the discipline of the Roman curla. In a word, it may be taken for granted that Cardinal Lede- chowski’s resignation would be an act of dis- obedience which would rouse quite as much censure as astonishment, 1t Is remarked that on one occasion Pope Leo XIIT had the intention of bringing about the retirement of the late Cardinal Simeoni, who then held the office of prefect of the propaganda. Cardinal Simeoni did not at all times fully follow the instructions of the pope, who therefore charged one of his con- fidential followers to intimate delicately to the cardinal that hie was becoming too old for the arduous duties of his office, and that he must have need of repose and tranquility, The prefecture of ceremonies was vacant at this time and was offered to Cardinal Simeont as a virtual sinecure, entailing mercly nom- inal duties with a large stipend. The pope would be happy to transfer the cardinal to this position where hie would be able to enjoy the peaceful retreat as a reward for the great’ and numerous services rendered to the church. The cardinal replied that he had no desiro to make any change in his habits; he was at- tached to and suited to the duties to which it was proposed to relleve him. In short, he died prefect of the propaganda fide. This proves that it is exceedingly difi- cult to persuade & prefect of the propaganda to renounce his high function, even should the holy father himself desire such a change.
