LONDON, March 9.—(New York World Ca- ble—Speeial T:1 gram.)—The St. James Gazette says tonight there was a rumor in the House that Lord Rosebery intended to ‘resign the premiership. The rumor may have been a teeler. The Dally News devotes an article this morning to Lord Rosebery’s recovery and to his surpassing merits, which is as extrava- gantly and incredibly complimentary in its terms as any obituary notice could be. Noth- ing may come of all this, but it Is significant that a radical organ should prepare itself and its readers fcr some new move. Lord Rosebery’s physiclan sald to a friend In Parllament yesterday that in all his expe- rience with his influence he had never met a case of a young and strong man whose recu- perativa power Is o proficient as the premier's. Although almost a week after the world had exclusive information of his desire to resign official cares, the liberal papers that are fully aware of the seriousness of the situa- tion refrain from discussing it, lest a crisis might be precipitatéd. Should Rosebery re- sign, dissolution fs almost certain to follow, gince the party would hardly venture on a second change of premier. Thus depends on the humor of a sick and despondent man whether the country is to be plunged into an election. I hear a curious story that the queen has added her influence to Rosebery's friends, not because she has any sympathy with the per- manence of the liberal government, but be- cause dissolution would postpone and probably prevent altogether her visit to Riveria. When Gladstone was forming his government in 1882 the quean was seriously criticised for staying even so far away from London as the Isle of Wight. TWO NOBLE LORDS BANKRUPT. Tho craze for company promoting, which has of late years so strongly seized on the British aristocracy, has this week had two notable victims. Lord Sudeley, representa- tive of probably two of the oldest families in the peerage, has been obliged to place on the market jewels and estates which have been in tho possession of his ancestors since the Saxon period. Sudeley, who 1s now nearly 60, began life wealthy, and married a wealthy wife, but both fortunes have been swallowed up in ten years of the company speculation. He was until recently a director in fifteen dlfferent c-mpan’ s, nearly a'l of which p-oved fallures, and he has lost nearly half a million pounds in these undertakings. The other case s that of Lord Thurlow, a descendant of one of England’s most famous lord chancellors. The Thurlow family is one of the great antiquity in Norfolk, and the peer, who has now come to grief, was private secretary to Sir Francis Bruce when he was minister to Washington in 1866, He has since held minor offices In liberal governments. His debts are $450,000, and he has offered a composition of the one-third that sum to his oreditors. He lost his money in the same way as Lord Sudeley, but his case has this week assumed a very ugly complexion, JUDGB TOLD HIM HE LIED. e admitted in bankruptey proceedings the purchase of valuable jewelry, and that he afterwards pawned it, and when pressed pro- fessed to be unable to say whether both trans- actions did not take place the same day. The Judge declared he did not believe him. The last British peer who was brought for- ward on a criminal charge was Lord St. Leonards, so1 of another great lord chancellor, but his offense was an assault on a female servant, for which he was convicted. A number of experienced people have been ruined by being induced to take shares in worthless companies on the strength of titlel names among tho directors, and the fecling in Parliament is strongly in favor of forcing the government to prosecute Thurlow. BALLARD SMITH. MARQUIS COMMITTED FOR LIBEL, Oscar Wilde's Charges Against Lord Queens- berey Heard ln Polics Court, LONDON, March 9.—The marquis of Queensberry was today at the Marlborough Street police court formally committed for trial by Mr. Newton, the sitting maglstrate, on the charge of having libeled Oscar Wilde in leaving at the Albermarle club on Feb- ruary 28 a card upon which was written a disgraceful epithet. The marquis declared In court that he wrote the card simply to bring matters to & head and to save his son, and that he ablded by what he wrote. Mr. Edward H. Carson, Q.C., M.P., for- merly solicitor general for Ireland, and who was counsel In most of the government prose- cutions in Ireland under the coerclon act, defended the marquis of Queensberry. The cowst was crowded with well known people. Oscar Wilde, who wore a long, dark blue overcoat, drove to the police court In great style lu a carriage and pair with footman and coachman. Accompanying Mr. Wilde was Lord Alfred Dougl son of the mur- quis of Queensberry, but he was not allowed to remain in court during the examination of Mr. Wilde. Mr. Wilde was finally placed on the stand and began his evidence with an air of lan guid loftiness. When he was asked if he was Oscar Wilde, the author and dramatist the witness replied: I think I am well known."” This remark made Mr. Newton Interpose sharply, saying: “Answer the question, please.” Thereupon the plalntift replied: “Yes." The reproof of the magis- trate caused Mr. Wilde to assume a less im- portant air, Replying to questions put to him by his counsel, plaintift sald that he first became Acquainted with the marquis of Queensberry in 1893, He remembered lunching with Lord Alfred Douglass, who is the marquis’ second son, and who was born in 1870, in the Cale Royal during the month of October, 2892, when the defendant entered (he room and by invitation of his the same table. Continuing, Mr. Wilde said he did not see the marquis of Queensberry again until 1893, when he and Lord Alfred Douglass were lunching in the same cafe. The defend- ant upon that occasion shook hands with both Mr. Wilde and his son, and the wit ness invited the marquis to join them, At this stage of the proceedings counsel for Mr. Wilde handed him a letter, and the witness was asked if such a document had been placed In his hands by Lord Alfred Douglass shortly afterward. The magls- trate here remarked that he thought this document should not be put in evidence. Mr. Carson, counsel for the marquis, terposed, saying that he did not object the letter being put in evidence. On contrary he preferred that it should be brought before the court, as he wished to show the marquis was acting in the inter- est of his son. To this Mr. Newton said that he could not enter into that question. Mr. Carson objected to this, and asked that the document be put in evidence in order that the matter might be investigated in the fullest manner possible. Counsel for Mr. Wilde sald that it was not intended that the letter should be read in court, as the names of exalted person- ages were mentioned, and he did not think it right that their names should transpire. Counsel also explained that the mysterious letter was introduced with the purpose of charging the marquis of Queensberry with additional libels; but as Mr. Newton in- sisted that in that case the letter should be read in court, counsel for plaintift with- drew the letter. Mr. Wilde then continued testifying as to how he was handed the card of the marquis of Queensberry, upon which was written the abusive words, by a porter at the Albermarle club. Mr. Carson then cross-examined the wit- ness in regard to his acquaintance with Lord Alfred Douglass, saying that he wished to show that the object of the marquls was to end the acquaintance of his son with tho plaintift. The magistrate said he considered this de- fense to be a plea of justification, and did not allow Mr. Carson to proceed. The marquis of Queensberry was then asked it he had anything to say, whereupon he arose and declared that he wrote the card “simply to bring matters to a head and save my son.” He added: “I abide by what I wrote.” The marquis was then formally committed for trial, bail being allowed in £1,600.

MADRID, March 9.—The work of dispatch- ing reinforcements to the army in Cuba Is now fully under way. Yesterday the steamer Alfonso XIII. started from Barcelona for a Cuban port, having on board two battalions of infantry. As they marched along the soldiers were greeted with cheers and patriotic airs. A battalion left Madrid today for Cadiz, where it will embark for Cuba. On the way to the railway station the troops defiled before the palace, from a window of the queen regent watched their departure. Subsequently they passed the bullding in which the Cortes sits. The members of the Chamber of Deputies enthusiastically cheered the soldiers. In the Senate Marshal Martinez de- Campos praised the government for the activity displayed in sending troops to Cuba. He advised the adoption of severe measures against the rebels and praised Captain-Gen- eral Cajleja for his foresight, and urged that political reforms in Cuba be hastened. TAMPA, Fla., March 9.—Dr. Pal of Key West, in a letter to Senor Figeurdo by Thurs. day night's ship, states that Vinales was at- tacked Monday by 200 insurgents. Forty of the clvil guard were killed and a lot of arms | and ammunition taken. Later in the day tho city treasury was visited and the funds therein confiscated. This outbreak will cause more trouble in that vicinity. E! LAND’S LOSS ON TELEGRAPHS, What it Costs John Bull Annually to Oper- ate the Wires for Himself, LONDON, March 9.—A statement sub- mitted to the House of Commons for the operations of the British Postal Telegraph department for the year ending March 1, 1895, shows a growing deficiency. The actual deficlt for the previous year was about $2,400,000. This amount included $1,600,000, the annual Interest charges on the stock created for the purchase of the telegraphs. The deficit for the current year, including the same charges, is estimated to be $2,700,000, or an increase of $300,000, although the gross recelpts from telegrams are expected to show an increase of about $450,000. Const Forts at New Chwang Holding Out, YOKOHAMA, March 0.—The last news from the front is that the Japanese have oc- cupled Kokan without opposition. The port of New Chwang was captured by the first dlyision of the second army without opposi- tion. The coast forts are still holding out.

Emperor Willlam will dellver a comprehensive ad- dress, defining the scope of the deliberations and the propositions to be submitted to the council, The question of the restriction or prohibition of the entry of American cattle or meat into Germany will be one of the subjects which will be fully discussed. The emperor personally has obtained exhaustive information from the minister of husbandry, Von Hammerstein, during an audience last Monday with the latter, which lasted two hours. His majesty took this occasion to familiarize himself with the leading topics to be discussed by the state council and he will ¢hare the labors of that body as far as circumstances will permit, attending many of the sessions if possible. Von Kanitz' grain monopoly bill, accord- ing to the promise which the Federation of Husbandry made to the emperor, will not be introduced in the Reichstag until after it has been considered by the state council in all its bearings. Emperor Willlam is irritated at the atti- tude of the agrarians respecting the credits asked for on behalf of the Navy department in the Reichstag and it is reported his majesty has expressed his indignation rather freely respecting Von Kanitz' bill. It is stated that on the occasion of the recent banquet of the Brandenburg Diet the em- peror, while privately conversing with Baron von Manteuffel, strongly expressed his dis- approval of the proposed grain monopoly. According to the version of the story, the emperor said: ‘““You cannot expect me to engage in usury with bread.” Another ac- count has it that the emperor remarked: “I cannot help in making poor people’s bread dear.” An expression used with reference to the navy debate by the agrarian leader, Von Ploetz, “‘Ohne Kanitz keine kaehene' (with- out Kanitz no ships), came to the ears of the emperor and was much resented by him. INFLUENZA STILL HANGS ON. Influenza is still rampant here. The duch- ess of Sagan, mother of the wife of the German ambassador at Washington, died of that disease today. The duke of Sagan is only just recovering from an attack of the same disease. Emperor William’s eldest sis- ter, the princess of Saxe-Meiningen, is im- proving; two Berlin judges, Willer and Hoff- man, have died from the effects of influenza, and Dr. Bellerman, director of the Grey convent and gymnasium; Dr. Carl Peters, the German explorer; M. E. Desaint Claire, first secretary of the French embassy, and Herr Druehmann, president of the Court of Chambers, are among those prostrated. The epldemic is seriously iInterfering with the business of the law courts, and in several schools whole classes have been suspended. In the whole of Germany last week Nurem- burg had the doubtful honor of heading the influenza statistics with the biggest sick list. Hamburg came next with 1,485; Breslau, Cologne and Hulle were affected in a lesser degree. The family of United States Ambas- sador Runyon have all recovered from at- tacks of influenza, and on Thursday night a ball was given at the ambassador's house. The long and friendly conversation which the emperor had with the duke of Cumber- land while his majesty was in Vienna upon the occasion of the funeral of Grand Duke Albrecht has revived the hopes of the Guelph party in Germany. In the court circles the opinion prevails that Prince George, the eldest son of the duke of Cum- berland, will be relgning duke of Brunswick upon attaining his majority in October, 1898, the prince regent, Albrecht, being very wealthy and not enamoured of his office. He harbors no intention of founding a’ dynasty for Brunswick. He Is, besides, an ultra legitimist and never approved of the deposi- tion of the Guelphs., The prince regent regards the regency as a provisional arrangement and absents himself from Brunswick as fre- quently as he decently can. “On Saturday next he goes to England to enjoy sea bath- ing at Illracombe until the middle of April. A reflex of things was seen In the Reichstag this week when a Guelph member supported the government's demand for the navy. BISMARCK'S HEALTH WANING. Prince Christian of Hohenlohe-Oehringen was the guest of Prince Bismarck at Fried- richsruh on Sunday and Monday last. = The latter spoke of his waning strength and Dr. Schweninger's positive prohibition not to ex- cite himself and recelve large crowds, In addition Prince Bismarck expressed grave doubts as to whether he would be equal to the task of celebrating his eightieth birth- day, as the people wish him to do, publicly and with all kinds of demonstrations, To avoid the spectacle of the Reichstag holding aloof from celebrating the birthday of Prince Bismarck, the Easter recese will begin on March 80, thus extricating the members of that body from an embarrassing situation. The Reichstag abandoned the idea of officially partkcipating in the celebration, owing to the opposition of the centrists and soclalist wing of the radicals, and the de- cision mot to sit on April 1, the prince's birthday, e a compromise arangement, The emperor has informed Prof. vo: the historian, that he w!ll personally partiei- pate in the celebration. A unewspaper of Leipsic recently asked a number of literary and political men for an expression of opinlon upon the idea of mak- ing Prince Bismarck an honorary citizen of the German empire by act of Parliament, and almost all approved of the plan. Count von Hompesch-Rurich, chalrman of the centrist party, however, replied that the clghtieth birthday of Prince Bismarck “gives me no occasion to ANSwer your ques- tion.” Dr, Schaedler, anoiher wember of the center party, was mdre Pointed In hie answer, He wrote: “1 beg to say that in memory of the Kulturkahdpf and the op- pression of the German CatMolics at that time, your questions are of mo interest in any wa The conservative, national liberal and anti- semite members of the Relchstag will cele- brate Bismarck's birthday by a commers, and will go to Freidrichsruh together on April 7, to deliver an nddresa to the ex- chancellor, A dispatch from Cologne states an earth- quake shock was felt at 10 o'clock yesterday evening through the whole Rhenish pro The vibration was from southeast west, CURIOUS CASE OF INSUBORDINATION. A curious and exceptional case of insubordi- nation occurred recently in an Alexander reg- iment of Grenadiers of the Guard. An Alsa- cian recruit named Troelener, belonging to the Meémmonites, whose creed forbids them to take an oath or use the sword, joined that regiment at the the beginning of the year. Tho Memmonites were at one time exempt from military service, buf that privilege has been cancelled. Troehened objected to taking the oath of allegiance, and refused to take a rifle in his hands, For this he was sentenced to two months' imprisonment in a fortress The term expired on Saturday, and he was escorted back to his regiment. On Tuesday morning, when his company paraded, the captain asked him it he would take a rifle and Troehener replied ‘without wavering: ““No captain.” He was immediately marched to the military prison and on the following day he attempted sulclde. The mllitary authorities are in a quandary as to how to deal with this stubbornness. A remarkable story of, youthful crime fs reported from Naumburg,|in the province of Saxony. A boy named Brechel, from the Zeltz reformatory, was sentenced last July to four years' imprisonmént for strangling a comrade with suspenders| during a quarrel, | according to the testimody of two of their comrades, Junge and Hofflnan, both 17 years of age. Toward the end of| last year a second boy was strangled, and |the inquiry which followed resulted in the arrest of Junge, Hoffman and two other 'boys, Moebus and Blankenburg, aged 16 and 15 years. Junge and Hoffman then confesded to having com- mitted perjury during the trial of Brechel and declared on Wednesday last, when all four were arraigned, that the murder of Schorf was premeditated. Brechel, it ap- pears, hated the reformatory, and wanted to be sent to prison, whereupon Junge per- suaded Brechel a0 murder Schorf, who was a weak little boy. Brechel at first was unwill- ing to do so. He afterward yielded and at- tempted to strangle Schorf, but gave up the attempt, although Junge mided him, saying: “He is blue in the face already.” The next day Brechel, instigated by Junge, strangled little Schorf while Junge covered the vie- tim's face as Brechel did not like to see it. STRANGLED A FELLOW,PRISONER. In the second case of murder, the one which occurred at the end of last year, Junge suggested the same plan to Moebus and Blankenburg, who were anxious to escape from the réformatory, and a boy. who slept between the two latter was chosen as the victim. During the night, Moebus crept up to the victim's bed,: tled his swspenders around the lad's neck without'Wakening him, and then Mbebus pulled one end of the sus- penders while Blankenburg pulled the other until the boy was dead. The shrieks of the victim awoke the other boys in the room, but they were silenced by the threats of Mocbus. The latter then returned to his bed and slept soundly until morning. Junge and Moebus were beth sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment. Blankenburg was sentenced to twelve years, and Hoffman to two years. Brechel will be tried again, this time on the clarge of murder. ince. to north- Death of a Noted G FRANKFORT, March 9.—Leopold von Ritter Sacher-Masich, the novelist, is dead.

Mr. Thompson during the after- noon of February 11, called at the foreign office and explained that as he represented the president of the United States in the affair of the arbitration he could not be present. ‘At 1 p. m. the square of St. Frances de Paula, just at the head of Onvidor, was sol- idly full of people, and Senor Marinho was selected as presiding officer of the meeting. Colonel Correa, an ex-minister under Marshal Floriano Peixoto, was the principal spokes- man. The following telegram sent to Baron de Rio Branco, Washington, D. C., was read by Dr. Dos Rei Rio Branco, Washington: Brazil, in a vast meeting, acclaim amidst psalms your name and send you enthusiastic greetings on account of the honorable de- cision of the question of the Missiones.

People are accustomed to crown and glorify their heroes and gen- crals on returning conquerors from the field of battle, where they decide questions be- tween nations. The hero whom you glorify today is more worthy than any great gen- eral, because, representing the Brazillan na- tion in a dispute of ages, he has caused to triumph your right, without leaving the field of battle strewn with dead bodies, and has made disappear the sole cause that could cloud the horizon of peace of the two great American republics, “‘The legions maneuvered with such skill and wisdom by our hero in thie well fought battle were constituted by the Invineible and eternal principles of right, The general who conducted the bloodless battle has there- fore a right to the homage of Brazilians and of Argentines, who are enabled to leave off struggling and embrace one another, Your enthusiasm, 1 repeat, is just, LOOK ONLY TO THE LAND. “Let us profit by that lesson and show ourselves worthy of the majesty of the na- ture of the fatherland.

President Moraes sent the following telegram to the president of the Argentine republic: “‘A great mass of people, in the presence of the Argentine minister, acclaim the two friendly nations for the peaceful settlement of the question of the Missiones, I gratulate your excellency on so ausplcious an event, and also extend affectionate greeting.’ “The minister of the interior sent tele grams to all the governors of states.

PENDLETON, Ore., March 9.—Two com- panies of the Second cavalry from Fort Walla Walla arrived here at § o'clock on a special train and will be taken without delay to Mis- sion station on the Umatilla Indian reserva- tion, from which point they will proceed to the agency near the station. Indian Agent Harper had been notified from Washington that the troops wero held in readiness at Walla Walla, but kept his counsel, saying nothing until about the time for the arrival of the train, when ho gave out the information that he had requested the aid of troops. He stated that the troops may be necessary to protect the agency and whites who live on the reservation. Affairs havo been disturbed on tho reservation for some weeks on account of disagreements of the officlals and the Indians, The Indian court in the case of Indian offenses has exercised powers which the In- dians claim were too arbitrary. The matter was brought to an issue in a civil case in the justice court here when Wet Soot brought suit against Brisbough and others to recover damages for an alleged assault committed by tho Indian policemen. The suit was declded in favor of the plaintiff, but was appealed by United States District Attorney Murphy to the stato circuit court. Later Chiefs No Shirt and Youns Chief and twenty other men were arrested for danc- ing contrary to the agent’s orders. This caused a riot in the council chamber and a general row was narrowly averted., The chlefs wero released, but were agaln arrested on the same charge and for resisting United States officers. They were sent to jail, but employed counsel to sue out writs of habeas corpus in the circuit court for their relcase. This afternoon Judge Fec of the state circuit court, rendered a decision in the habeas cor- pus case. He holds that the Indians are citi- zens under the Dawes act, entitled to all rights, privileges and immunities of other cit- izens, excepting as to the alienation of their allotted lands in reservations, title to which was transferred subject to trusteeship of the United States government. The releaso of No Shirt and Young Chief was also ordered. Counsel for the Indian court will appeal. The Indians’ counsel were seen and said they had told the Indians they must not resort to vio- lenco in any event, but await the supreme court decision. This tho Indians promised to do, and the head men say they will use their influence to prevent any disturbance. The only fear expressed is that the Indians may get drunk and get into trouble with the Indian police. e ROBBED HIS FRIENDS AND DIED. Prominent . lowa Man Commils When Confronted wit CRESTON, In., March 9.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The lit}e town of Cromwell, six miles west of Creston, Is much disturbed to- night over the suicide of Dave Blossar, a prominent and influential citizen, It de- veloped today that Blossar was a forger, but to what extent is not definitely known, and probably never will be. The Creston National bank became aware today that it had collateral on Blossar that was forged and the investigation revealed that the peculations of Blossar extended over a period of three years. All this time Blossar bore the best reputation. It is variously esti- mated that Blossar's forgeries will reach 5,000, Besides this he has borrowed large sums from wealthy citizens on his own notes, These amounts will probably reach $15,000, al- though the exact amount cannot be learned, as the excited populace reticently part with news, This evening the Creston National bank of this city filed attachments against Blossar for $1,350, the amount that Blossar has forged on the bank. When the officer went to the blacksmith shop owned by Blossar to ar- rest him he endeavored to evade the officer, and failing, drew a revolver and shot him- selt in the right temple. It was learned that within a week he attempted to commit suicide by taking strychnine. His peculations are estimated to amount to $26,000. He has been engaged in the implement business, and what he has done with the large amount_of money forged and borrowed is a mystery, - SEED WHEAT COMING TO NEBRASKA.
