LONDON, March (New York World Cable—Special to The Bee)—The election of W. W. Astor to membership in the Carlton club, the recognized headquarters of the ex- treme members of the tory party, was not by general ballot, but by the act of the political committee of the club, which is permitted under a special rule to elect every year a certain number of persons who have rendered especlally distinguished services to the tory party. The nature of Mr. Astor's services Is not officially announced, but it must either be the support of the Pall-Mall Gazette or a very heavy subscription to the party funds. Before he became eligible to membership, he must have signed a decla- ration attested by two members of the club, speaking from their personal knowledge of his opinions of his acceptance of the tory principles. The circumstance naturally aroused the conjecture that Mr. Astor really fntends to apply for naturalization as a British subject, but an inquiry by a World correspondent at the proper office shows that he has yet taken no step to that end. ROSEBERY AND HOME RULE. Lord Rosebery addressed a monster meet- tng in Bdinburg tonight, a gathering of rep- resentative liberals from all scctions of Beotland. He was tumultuously cheered. He gaid at the opening that the new govern- ment's policy would be guided by the in- epiration of Mr. Gladstone, and then he evidently sought to make it plain that there would be no deviation from the liberal pro- gram prepared by the late premier. After declaring that his recent speech in the House of Lords had been misrepresented he explained that he meant lie would strive to win England over to the cause of home rule. His home rule platform is broad. Not only did he pronounce clearly in favor of home rule for Ireland, but promised not to stand in the way of home rule for Scot- land it he is a minister when it is de- manded, and if he is not a member of the government then “he hopes, as a man, to be in the toiling party.” Joln Dillon heard the specch and said afterward at a St. Patrick's celebration at Edinburg that more importance will at- tach to that speech of Roschery than to any other delivered within the last fifteen years, “In Lord Rosebery,” said Mr. Dil- Yon, “Ireland has an honest and honorable champion.” BALLARD SMITH. ROSEBERY KOYALLY R EL din) s Citizens Do Honor to England's New Prime Minister. EDINBURGH, March 17.—Lord Rosebery arrived here at 6:30 p. m. to make his ex- pected address to the delegates to the liberal associations from all parts of Scotland. - The premier was received at the station by the Jiberal committee and escorted to the Corn Exchange, recelving an ovation from the crowds gathered along the routo. The ex- change, which holds 5,000 people, was packed an hour previous to his arrival. Many members of the arlstocracy, as well as a large number of members of Parliament and others were upon the platform. When Lord Rosebery entered the exchange the vast audience arose and cheered, and stood waving thelr hats and cheering for soveral minutes, Upon rising to speak he was greeted with renewed ovations and by the singing of “He's a Jolly Good Fellow.” During the course of his remarks, the premier said his thoughts went out to the past rather than to the present—the im- moral days of Mr. Gladstone's first Mid- Jothian campaign, the memory of which quickened his pulse. If Mr. Gladstone was absent tonight, Lord Rosebery continued, his inspiration was with them, and it was in that inspiration the government intended to proceed. Continuing, the speaker spoke of the gov- ernment, saying that it “did not propose to sit on the bank and watch the stream run by until it runs dry. For the English majority we shall try, as we have been to bring conviction to the minds of the patriot—the greatest popularity —the most votes. Though it was not nec- essary to demand an English majority, it was of great Importance to convince the heart, the mind and conselence of Engl The premier argued that the peers sition to home rule was entirely dne to the knowledge that English optnion upheld them Otherwise the country would have risen as ono man against the lords' rejection of the bill.

Portuguese War Ships Threatened by the Hrazilian Forts. March 17.—Dispatches recelved Rio say that Admiral da Gama Is still on board the Portuguese corvette Mindello, and that he intends to procure a Portuguese ship to convey himself and some of his followers to Buenos Ayres. BUENOS AYRES, March 17, A dispatch received from Rio de Janeiro says President Pelxoto insists upon the surrender of da Gama and the other rebel officers who have refuge on board Portuguese The president declares they will be tried by the other tribunals. The Portuguese admiral has refused to give up the officers, but he has promised to refer the matter to the Portu- government and to act in accordance with the Instructions which he may receive. The Portuguese steamer Cida de Porto at- tempted to leave Rio de Janeiro with the insurgents on board, but was stopped by the forts, the commanding officer threatening to fire on her if she did not surrender. A dispatch received from Rio Grande do Sul says Admiral de Mello is actively en- aged in organizing the land forces. It Is reported de Mello has ordered the Aquidaban to attack the northern ports of Brazil. The war ship Republica Is understood to be re- pairing damages and recovering ate Par- anagua. The torpedo boats under the com- mand of Admiral de Mello are said to have assembled at the entrance of Santos.

CAPE TOWN, March 17.—Commissioner Jameson reports that the chartered company has ascertained that King Lobengula sent three messengers to the patrol sent out by Major Forbes on December 1 with a present of £1,000 and a verbal message asking the patrol to stop, as he, the king, would sur- render. The King's messengers, so soon as they handed the gold to the men of the im- perial police who formed a part of the regu- lar guard, fled or were killed. Suspicion las fallen upon Troopers Wilson and Dan- fels, who have been arrested. Commis- sioner Jameson will try to obtain further in- formation from the natives in regard to this transaction, as the men who stole the £1,000 in gold were morally guilty of the murders of the Wilson party and of King Lobengula. Tdentity of the Paris Anarehist, PARIS, March 17.—The police of this city are now convinced that the man passing as Rabardy, the author of the bomb outrages in the Rue St. Jaques and in the hotel on the Rue St. Denis, and Pauwels, the anarchist who was killed at the church of la Madeleine the other day, are one and the same person. The bombs or infernal machines used in all these cases were of the same calibre. The person wanted by the police for the two outrages previous to that of yesterday lacked one of his front teeth and the man blown to pieces in the church also lacked a front teoth.

RUMORS CCNCERNING THE RULER'S HEALTH His Trip to a Seaside Resort Mue mented Upon—Denials that 1 Auy Danger—Notes from the Fatherland, (Copyrighted 1894 by the Assoclated Press.) BERLIN, March 17.—As a mark of satis- faction at the passage of the Russo-German I treaty Emperor William has con- ferrel upon Chancellor von Caprivi the chain of the Hohenzollern family order, and has bestowed the Order of the Red Eagle upon von Bieberstein, secretary of state for for- eign affairs. In addition, the emperor dec- orated Hegr Thielmann, who conducted the negotiations, with a minor order. Outside of the tilt between Herbert Bis- marck and von Caprivi in regard to who made the statement, attributed to Prince Bismarck, that “the road to Constantinople lies_through the Brandenburg gate,” the third realling of the Russo-German commercial treaty preseuted no features of interest. The agrarfan opposition to the treaty utterly collapsed and did not even challenge a division. Baron 8 commerci umm’s luncheon to the emperor on Tuesday was the outcome of a bet made long ago at a dinner given by von Caprivi, where Stumm, although he supported the treaty, spoke dolefully of its chances in the Reichs- tag. Emperor William thereupon bet Stumm a luncheon that the treaty would pass, and last week his majesty wrote a humorous note to the baron, reminding him that the prospect of the passage of the treaty had al- ready produced increased activity in the coal and iron industries of Germany. WILL BENEFIT GERMANY. Prof. Bastian, the European authority on eastern geographic questions, has published a series of articles showing that the treaty, welcome as it is at present, will grow in importance to Germany year by year, in view of the progress made in the building of Russian railvays and the rapid opening up of vast portions of Russia to civilization. The national liberal party has excluded Diedrich Hahn, a member of the Reichstag, and formerly private secretary to the Deutschie bank and Prince Bismarck's hench- man, from membership in the party because he did not vote against the Russo-German commercial treaty; but it fs said his identi- fleation with the anti-Semite movement had much to do with his exclusion, The trial of Plaack, Schweinhagen and Ewald, who were sentenced to terms of fm- prisonment today as a result of the suits brought against them by von Caprivi and Miquel, excited the greatest interest through- out Germany, the belief being general that the proceedings might seriously affect Miquel's career, as he was charged with dishonesty in connection with the Rou- manian loan, but the presence of Emperor William at Miquel's dinner party, implying the emperor's continued confidence in the minister of finance, dispelled these fears. The witnesses in the case included the direc- tors of the Disconto company and the Han- del's Gesselschaft. and they and Herr Men- delsohn and other leading bankers all spoke with the utmost contempt of the defendants and showed that it was impossible that Miquel could engage in the alleged transactions. Planck, who was charged with having issued a pamphlet entitled “Pharisees and Hypocrites,” the contents of which included a repetition of the charges made by Rector Allwardt, and who was sentenced to twenty-one months im- prisonment, in a three-hour speech today ex- pressed his determination to submit the mat- ter personally to Emperor William, even, as he expressed it, it he was obliged to follow his majesty on horseback for a month, Ewald, who was charged with selling the pamphlets written by Plaack and Schwein- hagen, who was sentenced to three months imprisonment, said he had not examined the pamphlets he exposed for sale, as he had perfect confidence in Plaack. The sentences were: Plaack, twenty-one months; Schwein- hagen, twelve months, amd Ewald three months. WILLIAM'S HEALTH, Bmperor William has postponed his de- parture for Abbazzia until Tuesday morning, and thus he will only arrive at the seaside resort on Wednesday afternoon. The lengthy official denials of the rumnors circulated r garding Emperor William's health have by no means reassured the public, as It fs considered that if the emperor's health was s0 perfect as is claimed, there would be no need of official denials that he is ill. Al though the weather has been bad, the em- press has expressed herself as being much pleased with her stay at Ab , and she has, in consequence, decided to prolong her stay there until the middle of May. A dispatch received here from Trieste says nperor William and King Humbert have arranged to reach Venice at the time when the German and Itallan squadrons will be there and the people of Venice are look- ing forward to some brilliant naval reviews, A dispatch received here from Turin to- night anuounces that the condition of Louls Kossuth, the Hungarlan patriot, is extremely grave. After a stormy sitting of the Hun- garlan Unterhaus today the petition in fayor of restoring Kossuth's right to citizenship and allowing him to return to Hungary was shelved until after the Easter vacation, Premier Dr. Wekerle depreclating haste as likely to incur the danger of the rejection of the appeal. There is little doubt that if Kossuth returns without a reconcillation with the emperor or without repatriation there will be serious trouble.

LONDON, March 17.—The breach of prom- fse brought by Mrs. Holland against Sir Francis Cook, the husband of Tennfe Claflin of New York, sister of Victorla Woodhull, was opened today before Justice Hawkins ‘in the queen’s bench diviston of the high court of justice. Sir Francis Cook is the head of the fmportant firm of Cook & Sons, silk dealers, and the woman who brings the ac- tion against him has been married for seven years. Mrs. Holland claims £12,000 damages, and, in addition to the breach of promise to marry her, alleges that the defendant caused a criminal operation to be performed upon her. Lady Cook sustaing her husband, and strongly believes in his Innocence, claiming the suit is an attempt at blackmail, Mr. Willis, who appeared for Mrs. Holland, stated that Sir Francis, during the life of his wife, induced Mrs. Holland to visit a house in Black Friars occasionally, where they passed as Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, and in 1880 Sir Francis suggested that Mrs, Hol- land have dn operatioli, which she under- took, nearly at the cost of her life; that Sir Francis assured Mrs. Holland at this time that he would marry her if his wife, then living, should die. | Lady Cooke died in 1884, and Sir Francis ronewed his promise of marriage, but in 1885 he married Tennie Claflin, explaining to Mrs. Holland that he had been drawn into the marriage. Sir Francis promised to sugport her for life and continued his money contributions until her marriage with Mr. Helland in 1891, Mr. Holland is now in a lunatic asylum.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo,, March 17.—An anxious day has followed a night of excit ment and dventure in the great gold mining district known the world over as Cripple Creck. The resistance offered the sheriff posse by the miners who are striking for an elght-hour day and the same wages as were formerly paid for nine hours, and the call for militia have given affairs a war-like aspect. After driving from Bull Hill the six deputy sheriffs stationed there, one of whom was shot, but not seriously wounded, the miners would not allow any stranger in that neighborhood during the night. Sheriff Bowers immediately called out troop A of Colorado Springs, under authority given by law, and today he made a requisition on the governor for more troops, in accordance with which the First regiment of Denver, with the signal corps and the Chaffee Light artillery and company C, Second regiment, of Pueblo were ordered to proceed thither under command of Adjutant General Tar ney. These troops are expected to a rive in camp tonight. The telegraph wires are still down between Cripple Creek and Bull Hill, but it is learned that the miners are defiant and threaten to resist the troops when they arrive. The sherift is arming and equipping men to supplement the troops. Every gun, pistol and weapon available in the town is ready for use if necessary. The streets are thronged with people, among Whom are many idle and hungry men. The suloons and gambling places ure jammed. In the moving mass the mogt Jjovial ones are the union miners, who say they are not afraid of a handful of soldiers, They represent the faction which is sta- tioned on the hills awaiting developments. Another faction of miners, which is believed to be in the majority, is willing to go to work at nine hours, but say the protection offered by the county is inadequate. I a clash of arms occurs the miners will have the advantage of position. Bull moun- tain is one of the largest of the cluster of hills that surround Cripple Creek. It is heavily timbered and is criss-crossed by foot truils and wagon roads from the vari- ous mines. Between the town of Cripple Creek and the summit of Bull mountain are a number of massive rounded hills, almost destitute of timber, and among these hills are the small mining camps built up about the big mines. It is in these rlotous camps that the scenes of battle will occur. Along the trails leading over the hills last night the miners were collected, shooting at pass- ing pedestrians or people on horseback. WAITE'S REPLY, DENVER, March 17.—Governor Waite, after receiving a call from Sheriff Bowers at Cripple Creek this morning for troops, re- plied: ““You ought first to summon a posse comitatus of - your county. If you cannot maintain order, then call upon me as gov- ernor for aid. Calling out the troops must be the last resort. I will order the troops held in readiness immediately. Wire me here.” To this Sheriff Bowers immediately replie “I have issued a call to the colonels of the First and Second regiments for troops to aid the civil authorities in enforcing the laws of the state, which, I understand, I am author- ized to do. The emergency Is great. If I have mot this authority, I call upon you to order said troops to Cripple Creek im- mediately, for there is at said camp a body of men acting together, doing violence to persons and property, and by force and vio- lence breaking and resisting the laws of the state, and I must have them to aid in the suppression of riot and Insurrection.” Governor Waite then dispatched the First regiment of this city, 2560 strong, and com pany C, Second regiment of Pueblo, in addi tion to troop A of Colorado Springs, to Crip- ple Creek.

R, March 17.—The disgraceful row overnor Waite and Messrs. Orr and Martin, the removed members of the fire and police board, over the possession of their offices, in which the state militia and federal troops took a prominent part, will be settled in the courts. The chief executive has submitted the controversy to the su- preme court, as his legal advisers have ad- vised him to do ever since the trouble began. It was 11 o'clock today before he fully deter- mined to take this course. When he began to seriously consider the proposition yester- day he was afraid the affair might not re- celve immediate attention, and 1t required a good deal of argument by his attorneys to prove to him that the supreme court would act on the case at once. That they were not mistaken is borne out by the order made by the court just as soon as the matter was submitted to it. This order sets the case for argument at 2 o'clock Monday, and counsel are notified that they must have their typewritten briefs in the hands of the clerk of the court at that hour. A decision may be expected as early as Tuesday. The communication embracing the ques- tions submitted to the court contains over 4,000 words. The question is simply this: Are Messrs. Barnes and Mullins legally en- titied to hold the office of fire and excise com- missioners of (he city of Denver? The rest of the voluminous document is devoted to an argument to show that the supreme court should take jurisdiction in the case, in view of the dangerous situation now ex- isting in the city of Denver because of the calling out of the militia and the armed re- sistance of Messrs. Orr and Martin to the state troops. There is no further dan, bloodshed now, as the governor has ag to abide by the declsion of the supreme court. As far as this trouble is concerned the militia has been disbanded, but the troops are being held at various armories awaiting the result of the miners trouble at Cripple Jreek. The federal troops are still quartered in the Gettysburg building, monentarily ex- pecting orders to return to Fort Logan. Matters at the city hall were in a very peaceful state until late this afternoon, when Messrs. Mullins and Barnes, the governor's appointees to the fire and police board, quietly slipped into the mayor's office and took possession before any one was aware they were in the neighborhood. They had met Mr. Rogers, a member of the old board, up town an hour before this and organized. Their first official step was to notify Chief Pearse of the fire department and Chief Stone of the police department to report for du Chief Pearse went in and politely refused to recognize the authority of the new board. Chief Stone refused to obey the order and the new board adjourned until Monday.

The managers of the railway system con- tend that the duties of a telegrapher are the same as that of a clerk at headquarters. For the work done they agree to pa tain stipulated salaries, which in the of things may be regarded as a schedule, General Manager Dickinson presented to the telegraphers a scale of wages to be paid at every offico on the system, contending that while there might be inequalitics in the graduation of the salaries, the principle in- volved was one under which nearly all the railroads of the country operate today. It is understood that Mr. Dickinson claims that the work done by telegraphers Is of such a character as can be regulated by the rule in force for many years on the system, ad mitting, however, that the changed rela- tions of the system might make it necessary that those rules should be amended in minor particulars, At the conference yesterday it is learned that Mr. Dickinson would not state exactly how many hours should constitute a day's work, taking the ground that the Union Pacific was never known to overwork its men; that if an operator was reauired to work sixteen hours at any certain office that office would necessarily require two operators to handle the business. The men, on the other hand, argue that the work in their offices is of such a character as will not admit of work being done upon monthly reports during the day time and that of necessity they are compelled to work on those reports after office hours, for which they demand extra pay. There are also many cases, the men state, where they are compelled to answer telephone calls, sometimes very late In the night, and flag trains at unseemly hours, for which they demand a certain compensation above the schedule of wa They co tended that mo two offices were precisely the same in the nature of the work to be done and argued that only a schedule of wages could compensate them with the over- time feature made prominent. DISCOURAGING SITUATION. The entire afternoon session was taken up with the discussion of technical ques- tions as outlined above. The men showed little disposition to yield either the schedule of the “overtime” features and the officials of the Union Pacific seemed to be just determined that these features should form no part of the rules and regulations sought to be made a part of the telegraph system of the Union Pacific. It was thrust and parry the whole of the afternoun in a good natured way and so little wa really accomplished that when the raphers left the headquarters building the practically admitted the impossibility of an agreement, but the calm reflections of Sun- day may so temper the dispositions of both sides that on Monday morning when they assemble again for conference the element of strife may be removed and a practical agreement reached. Some idea can be formed of the amount of ground gone over yesterday by the fact that the record of the day's proceedings made sixty pages of legalcap typewritten matter. One of the most prominent leaders stated last evening t he was more convinced than ever that the conference would end in and that the sole good that would mplished by its being held would bu to get all the matter in concise and accurate for the action in court, which must come at any rate in Mr. Clark ad h 8 to his decision not to touch upon the questions noted in his letter to men He also stated he had no reason to believe that Mr. Clark would do so, A number of the men who are here attend- ing the with Mr. Clark went home yesterday, but all will return some time this “week, Amc those who went home Kelly of the telegraphers and Corbin of the Knights of Labor.
