EXTERMINATION OF BURGHERS ADVISED Lord Rosebery Defines True Imperialism as Applied to England, EX-PREMIER MAY BE THE LIBERAL LEADER Ohurch Matters Now COcoupying Space in English and Soottish Ciroles. INDECENCY OF THE STAGE DENOUNCED amous ¥ “n.. 7“’h|rh Dickens Wrote One of His Most Celebrated en Dentroyed to Give Place to Modern Structure. ne LONDON, Oct With the exception of the unexpected activity of the Boers and the rouppearance before the public of & states- man supposed to be politically dead, nothing has occurred this week in London capable of disturbing the enthusiasm over the home- coming of the imperial volunteers. The pows of guerilla successes in South Africa bas prompted some of the more serious pub- Meations to sound notes of warm. The | Saturday Review hegs Lord Roberts to'| “take & lesson from one who was a greater than he, pamely, Caesar, and ruthlessly sup- pross the rebellion.”” ““The truest mercy in caso,” says the Globe, “is to be That fairly volces the average opinions ©of the government organs, while a few out- and-out radical organs scarcely couceal their satisfaction arising from their ability 1o say, I told you so” in reference to the war being long drawn out and engender- ing raclal hatred that a century will not dissipate. An encounter as dramatic as any that marred the battlefields of South Africa may shortly occur at Marseilles. The plan of Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonies, to go to Marsellles to meet Mrs. Chamberlain, will more than probably be effected just about the time that Mr. Kruger is arriving at the samc port on the Dutch crulser Gelderland. In French opinion the simultancous arrival of theso two late rivals would afford op- portunities for demonstrations not too pleasant for Mr. Chamberlain and which might cause international complications that would be hard to settle peaceably. Lrd Rosebery's Reappearance. ‘What 1s freer from supposition and per- baps more vitally concerns Great Britain, is Lord Roscbery's reappearance before the public and his enunclation of a new definition of imperialism. Speaking on Fr)- day before a meeting of the Christinn So- clal union! this versatile and brilliaut | figure (n British polities struck a figure which meets with approval from all sec- tions of the iiberals, even those who were most bitterly opposed to the former leader. “Imperialism,” he declared, *‘depends on fhe {ntegrity and heart of the empire for its wirtue.” Continuing, Lord Rosebery said: “What s an empire unless it is pillared on an im- perial race? The heart of the empire is Great Britain, and the heart of Great Britain 1s London. You cannot afford to let the source and center of the empire decay or be polsoned, and this is what you are doing 1t you allow this imperial race to be vitiated and polsoned in the dens of crime and hor- ror in which too many of them are reared at this moment.” Lord Rosebery's subtle turn in the virtue e, making imperialism depend upon in- Jernal retorm, has opened a door to the mal- tontents and the Star, which fought his Jordship tooth and nall, today declares “t 4s the true and only imperlalism for this empire of Great Britain.” { Ready to Accept Leadership. Sir Heory Campbell-Bannerman, who has ‘been the liberal leader in the House of Com- mons up to the present, is sald to be ready to accept Lord Rosebery's leadership. Com- bining this with Rosebery's partial retire- ment from the turf, the expectation is rife that he will return to the arena of active politics and make the fight of his life sgainst “the mammoth majority” of the present government. 1t is interesting to note while speaking ©of the next Parllament what a task con- fronts the speaker of the house of com- mons before he masters the personnel of the new house. It contains elght Wilsons, four Balfours, four Smiths, four Thomases four O'Briens and four Murrays, to saf nothing of a dozen trios of similarly named members and a perfect maze of couples. Church matters are attracting no little in- teres! The resignation of the bishop of Exeter, the Right Rev. Edward Henry Bickersteth, has given Lord Sallsbury the chance to add more to the long list of bishops of his creation, one which the XKensitites (anti-rituals) have improved by memorializing the premier to appoint a Jow churchman who will protect the Protestant interest better than the former bishop. Ama ting Scotch Churel Within & few days final steps will be taken to amalgamate the two great Scotch churches, the Free church and the United Presbyterians, under the name of the United Froe church of Scotland, which will ac- complish a greater breaking down of re- liglous barriers und divisions than the cen- tury has witnessed. The old quesction of the morality of the Btago 1s once more discussed by the Eng- 1ish bishops and clergy. This time it is the Rochester diocesan conference, where sev- eral clergymen urged a sweeping crusade mgainst the imiacrality of English players wnd actors. Canon Jelf declared it was a terrible thing to see a Christian man ta fng the part of a murderer and a Christian woman playlng the role of a harlot, now #0 common in the London theaters. The bishops of Rochester and Southwark, however, persuaded a modification of the resolution, the bishop of Rochester telling the clergy they would be ashamed to utter such statements before one delicate, re- fined woman who was a triend of his in the profession. It was then agreed that the stage authorities, managers and ar- tists meroly required the watchful atten- tion of the churchmen. That the memory of Charles Dickens 18 not guarded very jealously is clearly shown by the fact that a house in Tavistock Square, wher the novelist lived nine years, entertained the celebrities of the day and wrote “Bleak House" and other works, is now in course of demolition and that in a Yery few days nothing will be loft of ft. The removal of this landmark, visited by thousands of Americans, is due to the Duke of Bedford's desire to erect on the sit Bulldings which produce more revi ue, NE OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 28, 1900—TWENTY-FO UR PAGES ON ANGLO-GERMAN ALLIANCE Deep Feeling of ppointment Ex- ts Among the Torles Over the Agreement. (Copyright, 1900, Press Publishing Co LONDON, Oc New York World Ca- blegram—Speclal Telegram.)—Deep disap- pointment and chagrin prevail in the tory party over the Anglo-German agreement, in which Premier Salisbury, it is held, bar- tered away everything England could give in China for a vain attempt to secure Ger- man friendship. Diplomatically Germany Is friendly, but anglophobia is so flerce and universal, among the German people that official ag@iablility would be utterly worth- less if bfought to the test of action. The papers here continually publish letters from KEnglish residents and travelers in Germany giving evidences of the violent animosity they dally experience at the hands of the Germans. Dresden Includes ® large Bnglish colony, but recently when the proprietor of a local paper proposed to publish a weekly supplement in English, the project aroused such hostility among the Dresdeners that he was compelled to abandon and apologize for entertaining it. Sympathy with the Boers Is the immediate cause of this enmlity, but it is really so ingrained in both races that the idea of an alliance between them fs futile. by Ohurchill Likely to Bring Disclosuren. | (Copyright, 1000, by Press Publishing Co.)

He wants a rest and desires to avold attending the lord mayor's inaugural banquet at Guild Hall, where he would have to play second fiddle to Lord Sallsbury. His personal re- lations with Salisbury and Balfour are somewhat stralned, as he has given the former to clearly understand that any re- arrangement of the cabinet ‘which contin- ucs Balfour as leader of the House of Com- mons will be highly distastetul. Leaving this ultimatum with the premier Chamberlain departed for Malta, where tho Inhabitants, atter ninety years of alleg- lance to the British crown, are .violently agitating for reliet from military govern- ment. An interesting fact is that Chamber- lain's expenses in Birmingham, where he bad no contest, amounted to only $313, MARIE CORELLI IS AROUSED Arms Againat Putting Helen Faucit's Dust Opposite to (Copyright, 1900, by Press Publishing Co.)

AMERICAN CONFIDENCE MEN DOING WELL t That ce No Uneasiness Felt in Ber Will Ultimately An Her Adherence to An BERLIN. Oct. 27.—This week's develop- ments have demonstrated what immense dificulties the new chancellor, Count von Buelow, will have to overcome to bring about something approximating a harmo- nious cabinet both for Prussia and the empire. The radical and liberal newsp: pers point out that pronouncedly reac- tionary and agrarian members of the cab- inet, like Count von Miquel, Baron von Hammersteln and Baron von Rhelnbaben, have no legitimate place in the new regime and it was this portion of the presy that seized upon the incident of 12,000 marks having been accepted by the head ot the Department of the Inmterlor from big manufacturers for the cost of printing circulars explaining the anti-strike bill. It would seem as if Count von Posadowski- Wehner feels sure of the emperor's ap- proval and will not resign unless the Reich- #tag during the forthcoming session forces him to do so. The agrarian party also published sev- eral utterances this week, Informing Count von Buelow that If he introduces the canal bill afresh, as the Nor.a Germa. Uazette promised, they will make war on him and defeat him. Prince Hohenlohe today gave a big fare- well dinner to the members of the cablnet and Bundesrath More Confident of Peace in China. More sober views about China now pre- vail here, owing doubtless to the fact that Count von Buelow 1s known to entertaln reasonable ideas about Germany's tangible interests therein and his influence as im perial chancellor upon the emperor, espe clally in forelgn aftairs, decidedly greater than Prince Hohenlohe It is now be- lieved the Chinese muddle will slowly une ravel itself and lead to a succ without any large amount of tilities. The utterances of the semi-ofcial press this week show this bellef. Only the milftary party is dissatisfled with this Doubts are etill entertained here regarding the value of the credentials of Li Hung Chang and Prince Chang and their abllity to enforce the terms of any agree- ment reached. The latest edicts of Em- peror Kwang Su are regarded here with suspicion and it is even a possibility that Li Hung Chang himself is their author or instigator with the idea of facilitating the negotiator's task, Authoritatively the Assoclated Press learns that the new German tariff schedule does not contain, as was reported, a pro- vision for minimal and maximal riffs, but this will be left for the Relchstag to deliberate on and decide. The soclalists have elected a member of the Reichstag in the Brandenburg dis- trict against a strong government candi- date, hut the soclallsts have lost an elec- tion in Wanzleben against the nationals. Emperor Orders Statue of Himself. Emperor Willlam has ordered Professor Begas to make his majesty’s own marble statue for the “ball of glories” in Bar- men, where statues of the emperor's an- cestors are already placed. Madame Sembrich’'s performances this week have been very successful. She has been greeted by crowds more enthusiastic than any for years and the voice of the tenor, Bonel, is pronounced to be phemom- enal. Madame Sembrich says she will re- tire from the at the completion of her American tour to her estate in Styria. ‘A number of American confildence men have euccessfully dome Berlin and other German citles, passing off Confederate $10 bills which bave been accepted at forty marks each. The police have received re- ports of scores of victims. An official of the Foreign office informed the Assoclated Press correspondent that no further answers have been received to the Anglo-German agreement, but Japa: adherouce is considered certain. The u certain attitude of Russian papers to the ‘eement was pointed out and the ofclal “We have not to deal with the Russian press, but with the Russian government. We know the ement is favorably re- ceived in Bt. Petersburg. An amswer to the agreement will come from the csar. Considerable time may elapse before his answer is received.

Sporting men say he fs no sportsman at heart and only follows racing for the pleasure and notoriety of winning classic’ events. He had no horse In train- ing of merit and the prices realized at the auction only averaged $2,500, but he retains possession of his sires and brood mares, so that he can resume turf operations when the whim takes him again.

It appears that a working electrician named Couturier burglariously entered the electric company’s premises at Nimes, steal- ing 2,600 francs. He was tracked to Orange, near Lyons, where he was ar- rested. Documents found on his person re- vealed, the paper says, an anarchist con- spiracy to assassinate President Loubet on his coming visit to Lyons to unvell a monu- ment erected to the memory of President Carnot. Couturler is said to have committed the burglary In order to obtain funds to carry out his projegt.

(élty Imperial volunteers) were expected home from South Africa today, but they reached Southampton so late in the after- noon that thelr entry inuto London was postponed. Preparations had been made to give them a memorable welcome home and London consoled itsclf for thelr non arrival by flocking into the streets tonight and “Mafficking” to its heart's content. It was Mafeking night over again, with all its noise, horse play and rough enjoy- ment, though without its enthusiasm. The delay of the entry of the C. I. V.'s means three nights of this demonstration instead of one, and the complete dislocation of business on Monday, as well as today. The decorations are poorer than they were for the rellef of Mafeking, and are confined to the route of the procession.

LONDON, Oct. 27.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Speclal Telegram.)—The placing of the South African railway contracts in America 1s still agitating English manufac- turing centers, where the official War office dental has been received with skepticism. But the truth is.that where rapld delivery and good work are required the English manufacturer gets left. It 1s the natlobal trait here to ralse every objectlon to any inmovation. The English workman resents nothing so much as an attempt to hurry him. This is the burden of all enlightened comment on the subject here today. A Canadlan firm writes to the Times that an English firm has taken a year to complete an order for shovels which could have been secured in three months in the United States BURIAL OF BUTE'S HEART That Part of the Dead Marquis Will Interred on Mount Oltvet.

GREAT CITY IN LINE More Than 126,000 Chioagoans March in Prosperity Parade, INTENSE ENTHUSIASM Upwards of 8ix Hours Required for Pro- ceasion to Pass Given Point, EVERY TRADE AND PROFESSION MARCHES FOR M'KINLEY Banks, Business Houses and Faotories Make Occasion & Holiday. SCORES OF BANDS FURNISH MUSIC Senators Han Cullom and Mason CHICAGO, Oct. 27.~For six hours and a half today workingmen from every branch of Industry in Chicago, lawyers, merchants, railroad men, financiers, marched through the downtown streets of the city in the parade of the republican voters, which was planved as the culmination of the national campalgn in Chicago. Between two solld lines of spectators stretched from the start- ing point of the long march on Michigan avenue to its disbanding place on Jackson boulevard near the river, and underneath thousands of flags and banners, stretched between the big office buildings and waving from the windows and roofs, the paraders tramped from 10 o'clock in the morning, until past 4 in the afternoon. The day was practically a holiday in Chicago. The Board ot Trade, the banks and many of the big down town stores were closed and the residence districts were partly deserted for hours, vhile tho poople massed themselves along the miles of the toryous line of march and applauded to their hearts' content. The day was & perfect one. Hardly a cloud flecked the sky, whilo a cool breeze from Lako Michigan tempered the warin rays of the sun and kept flut- tering the flags and streamers which decor- rated the line of march and lifted high in the air the scores of immense kites trom which were suspended “McKinley and Pros- perity” banners, Parade Starts Early. Promptly at 10 o'clock the head of the parade, composed of a double line of po- lice and followed by Colonel E. C. Young and staff, chief marshal, moved from the starting point at Michigan avenue and Ran- dolph reet and from that time the marchers, with scores of bands playing all kinds of music, good bad and indifferent, tramped steadily over the granite pavements past the reviewing stand on Jackson boule- vard to Jackson and Market strects, where they disbanded. At nearly every point along 'he line of parade the marchers cheer- ing, waving flags, blowlng horns and singing campalgn songs as they flled by were cheered in return by the demsely packed masses on the sldewalks, but here and there a counter demonstration in favor of Bryan was made by the throngs and in one instance almost a riot took place in consequence. In front of the city hall on Washington street were gathered a crowd of enthusi- astlc Bryan shouters, all waving plctures of the democratic presidentlal candidate. Some one in the crowd on the walk threw a potato into the ranks of a West Side marching club golng by. The potato hit a marcher in the eye and forced him to leave the ranks. Another marcher plunged into the crowd and forced his way to the thrower. In an instant there was a free- for-all fight. Three companies of the marchers broke ranks' and with uplifted canes rushed into the struggling, shouting mass on the sidewalk. It took vigorous work by over thirty policemen before things were quieted down and in the meantime black eyes and gory noses had accumu- lated to an alarming extent. The parade was replete with unique features. Well up toward the head of the parade amd preceding the members of the Marquette club, who were in tally-hos, two elephauts lumbered along, bearing on their huge #ides banners inscribed, “G. O. P, These were the contribution of the Marquette club. Close behind the elephants came a diminutive donkey. This w labeled, “I Am a Sound-Money Donkey. Blephants in Line. The Hamlilton club contributed a stuffed elephant appropriately ¢ corated and bearing various legends. Furnaces in full blast, with rows of perspiring workmen, caught the fancy of the crowd, as did an enormous dinner pail, mounted on trucks and festooned with canvas hams and loaves of bread. The Chicago & Alton railroad employes escorted a float representing a parlor chalr car. Near the center of the parade, borne aloft om poles by a hundred men, was & huge banner, a block in length, in- scribed “McKinley and Roosevelt and four years more of prosperity,” A sixty-foot plank, gilt edged and prop- erly inscribed, was borne on the shoulders of fifty uniformed men. The parade was reviewed by Senators Hanna, Masop and Cullom, National Com- mitteeman Henry C. Payne, Perry Heath and others from the balcony of the Grand Pacific hotel and around this point the greatest enthusiasm of the parade was shown. Senator Hanna especlally was cheered by the marchers and was kept busy responding to the salutation Many out-of-town organizations were represented in the parade. The most prom- inent was & delegation of 160 from the Americus club of Pittsburg, Pa., who were guests of the Hamilton club. Big march- ing clubs were also present from Kenosha, Rockford, Dixon and Deering, IIl., and from many of the nearby suburban towns. — RURAL DELIVERY ORDERED Free Service Will Be Established at Gretna in Co ty.

DENVER, Colo., Oct. 27.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Fusion is a blasted hope in Arapa- hoe county today. Thomas J. Maloney has been declared chalrman of the county cen- tral committee of the democratic party and Lis ticket decreed to be the only one en- titled to appear on the official ballot under the name,"democratic.”” Mr. Maloney will open heedquarters at once. Geverner Thomas' faction s out of the race and its own members and leaders concede the fact. The only recourse left them is to instruct their voters to vote either the silver re- publican, people’s party or Bryan ticket. After the decision had been handed down this morning the democrats or Thomas fac- tlon at least conceded a republican victory by at least 5,000 in the county. Maloney claims that he will be second in the race and has hopes that in the week remaining he will be able to overcome odds and triumph in the county. Another blow was dealt the fusionists today by Sheriff Robert Jones, who issued a statement exposing “padded” reglstration and promising strict enforcement of the election laws. The fm- portance of the day's development Is that they will giva Senator Wolcott Arapahoe’s nineteen votes in the legislature and prob- ably insure his re-election. IMPERIALISM IN AMERICA Russian Newspapers Take Serfously Foolish Yasue Rained by Bryan. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 27.—The Rus- sfan press ls displaying considerablo in- terest in the coming election in the United States. Beveral organizations have reached the conclusion that both parties occupy vrtually the same position. Regarding fm- perialism, the Viodomishi says: ‘It 18 important to Europe which candidate is elected and it will be useful to observe the advance of the wave." The paper adds: “American imperialism regards colonles as & means not as am end, America wishes economic dominion over the universe, which explains her ef- fort to girdle the world with colontes. It desires a foothold in China and even in Turkey, as the recent Indemnity affair showed. American imperfalism, unlike that of England, is not due to economic necessity, since its own market is big enough.” The paper expresses the opinfon that the imperialistic wave has increased markedly since 1898 and it contrasts imperialism with Monroelsm, adding: ‘“Monroelsm is embarrassing to the imperfalists, who re- allze that American cannot interfere In other hemispheres while forbldding Euro- pean interference on the Americam hemi- sphere.” GUILTY OF SAVAGE CRUELTY Noviclo, Filipino Leader, Convicted of Burying Alive American MANILA, Oct. 24 (Via Hong Kong, Oct 27.)—The rebel captain, Noviclo, has been tried by a military commission at Balar, charged with burying alive & seaman named McDonald of Lieutenant Gilmore's party. Noviclo was found guilty and sentenced to death. The commission's sentence {s now in the hands of General MacArthur for approval, Testimony was produced at the trial showing Novicio also caused the death of Beuvllle, another member of Lieu- tenant Gilmore's party, by dellvering him into the hands of the Iloggotes, who, under the pretext of going fishing, lured the man into the woods and murdered him, with two Spanish friends, who were Beuville's fol- low captives.

YATES ON HIS PARTY Why Demoorats Ehould Vote for MoKinley Ably Bet Forth, INCONSISTENCIES OF BRYANISM EXPOSED Present Attitude of the Party Compared With Its Historio Paaf FATHERS QUOTED AGAINST THE FUSIONISTS Jefferson and Jackson Did Not Teach the Dootrines of Bryan, PATRIOTISM AND DUTY WELL DEFINED Defense of the Ola ¥, d Support Of the Government the Firat No one who knows the man will ques- tion the unswerving fealty to true dem cratie priuciples held by Henry W. Yates of Omaha. It 8 therefore of unusual im portance that he should advise his tellow democrats to repudiate the party's nomines for president. In doing this Mr. Yates tukes high grounds, both as a partisan and A patriot. He clearly expresses his views and ably defends his attitude in the fol lowing letter: OMAHA, Oct. 26.-To the Kditor of The Bee: I am a democrat. Not, perhaps, of tho D. B. H. kind, but still a democrat. My feelings have at times been shocked at the antics of some ot my fellow democrats, but T have not as yet scen any convineing reaesn to induce me to change the party affiliations 1 have maintained during all ot my forty-two years of manhood. 1 give my preference to democrats at local elvctions. This was the case at the last city election, When I think 1 voted for every democrat upon the ticket. o But at the coming presidential eleotion I shall support the republican ticket in its entirety. In thus voting I do not repudiate in the slightest manner the pasty principles 1 have always malntained, but bellove in wo doing that I am strictly loyal to them, The time, in my opinion, will soon come when democrats will get together again in support of the principles and precepts which history and tradition show are pecullarly theirs by birthright and which, when properly applied, Wwill tend to the happiness and prosperity of the country. The position I assume perhaps calls for some explanation, and it will be given in the briefest manner possible and with refer- ence only to a few of the issues in contro- versy. Compares the Plattorms, Take the platforfs as a general proposi- tion. In that of the republicans there are A number of what may be called sound dem- ocratle principles, but in that of the so- called democrats there Is not u single dls- tinetively democratis declnration The republican platform clearly and dis- tinctly supports the time-worn doctrine of tarift protection for home industries. A platform without a declaration in favor of & protective tariff would not be republican, and they are to be respected for their can- dor and honesty in reannouncing it at this time. It may not be pleasant to hear democratic administrations arraigned for their abortive efforts in the direction of tariff reform, but it 18 legitimate party capital. On the other hand, what 1s there in the so-called dem- ocratic platform to indicate in the slight- est manner that the democratic party holds or has ever held any opinion upon the tarift question? The only mention of the word tariff s when it \s used In connection with trusts, which are threatened with the pun- {shment of having their specially favored articles of manufacture or production placed Upon the free list. Instead of belng an- nounced as a matter of high principle it is here proposed to use the tariff as an instru- ment of governmental torture, which in practical epplication may be made to favor friends and chastise enemies. The incon- sistency of the proposition o far as it con- cerns trusts is shown in the fact that the most objectionable trusts in popular opin- fon are those which in no manner can be affected by our tariff laws. Then, too, upon the money question the so-called democratic platform has not a single tenet which s in barmony with the teachings of its great men of the past. It may be sald that the opinions of these \men are out of date; that almost any young statesman of these days can handle the current questions better than they could. In some respects this is true, but the po- sition taken by them upon the money question s founded upon truths which have always existed and will never die. They are just as strong today as they ever were and we are at this very time enjoy- ing the fruits of what these men in their day planned and concelved for our wel- fare, Thomas Jeflerson's Party. Thomas Jefferson may be called the father of the democratic party. The in- suguration of the financial establishment of the young republic was largely directed by bim. The first mint act passed im 1792 was in its most important particulars the consummation of views expressed by him ten years before its passage. At that time the republic had no metallic money of its own colnage. Mr. Jefferson in his “Notes” recom- mended that the money unit be fixed upon coins of both gold and silver, taking the Spanish dollar, which was the goin of the largest circulation, as the basis for the silver unit. The ratio to be declared be- tween gold and sllver he asserted to be ‘‘a mercantile problem altogether'” and that ust principles will lead us to disregard legal proportions altogether” and to adopt the ratio which would be Indicated by the market relation of the two metals, The ratio declaration in the so-called demo- eratic platform s exactly opposed to that of Jefferson. In their case It 1s the market ratio which is disregarded altogether and their divine legal ratio substituted in its place. There 18 no more apology for the assertion of the 16 to 1 ratio at this time than there would have been for Jefferson if he in his time had declared for a ratio of 6 to 1 for the reason that that was the ratio in the good old days of Henry the Eighth of blessed memory. Sllver men declare that silver was de- monetized in 1573 and except as to the exact date they are unquestifonably ecor- rect. It has beem demonetized for nearly thirty years and fn order to monetize it as Jefferson proposed in 1782 the demo- cratio party, if faithful to his memory, would never have declared in faver of a ratio of 16 to 1 when the market ratio is known to be 34 to 1. They would never have favored the making of a dollar out of less than 60 cents worth of silver and authorize its use in the payment of oone tracts made in the curreat gold dollars.
