According (Copyright LONDON, Jan, 11 blegram—Special 10 one report, the Salisbury government will the invite defeat on telephone scandal ns & convenient method of washing its hands of the war and Its consequences. Accord ing to another story, it is understood be tween King Edward and Lord Salisbury that If the war is not finished by the date set for the coronation the marquis of Salis- bury will resign, whercupon the king will commission the earl of Rosebery to form an administration chiefly of periulists, together with the duke of Devon- shire and the marquis of Lansdowne, to bring the war to an end, and that if this micistry is defeated by tha tory majority in the House of Commons the king will dis solve Parliament. This would be daring in- terference by the king in party politics, but If the war Is still going on in June the position will be desperate enough to warrant any expedient. Sir Robert Giffen, one of the highest financial authorities in London, has been discussing the budget outlook in the Times. With the best will jmaginable toward the government and its policy, he predicts a deficit of $50,000,000. Moreover, he suys, the anticipated expenditure of $600,000,000 may now be regarded as normal and can no longer be provided by borrowing. Direct taxation he strenuously opposes, and would reduce the income tax from 16 to 6 pence. He would rafse $100,000,000 by increased in- direct taxation on tea, sugar, beer and coal and by new taxes on grain, on petroleum 1 penny per gallon, and on timber. Face to Face with Pet Aversion. For Giffen to advocate a grain duty, the pet aversion of all frea traders, is equiva- Jent to the pope's denouncing Catholicism. But the cost of the war, together with the Increased permanent outlay for armament, renderad imperative by the fingo polley, constitutes a financial emergency in the face of which the most cherished fiscal theorles count for nothing. There a'e sources of wealth, such as ground rents, which would fairly yleld a large revenue, but they go untaxed be- cause the ground rents are owned almost wholly by the clasees who govern England. Impertal German Chancellor von Bue- low's stinging rebuke of Colonlal Secretary Chamberlaln for the aspersion the latter cast on the German army has created the bittereat resentment here. But with its army marooned in South Africa, England has to grin and bear such humiliation. Mr. Chamberlain, it appears, recognlzing his indiscretion, thought to disarm the Ger- man chancellor by conveylng privately and unofclally the assurance that be had no intention of affronting German feeling But, unfortunately for this explanation, the context of Mr. Chamberlain's speech showed that his reference to Germany had no meaning except as calculated to Insult. « 1t Tribu Greatnesw, Rarely has a minister been placed in such & contemptible position s Mr. Chamberlain 18 now in, yet, although his colleagies are fully consclous of his perilous methods, they fear him personally. He will tolerate no Interference and {s fiymly convinced that the hatred he excites abroad Is a tribute to his greatness. It 1s now believed that King Edward will find some excuse for not sending the prince of Wales to congratulate the kaiser on his birthday. The German officfal statement that the prince was not Invited by the Xatser until the King suggeated it was suf- ficlently galling, but the chancellor's casti- | ation of the moet prominent British min. er renders the visit impracticable. The King has an excuse ready to hand it needed. It 18 now sald that the {liness from which Quoen Alexandra suffered on Christmas was chickenpox and it Is further stated that the reason the prince and the princess of Wales abandoned their visit to Chatsworth at the last moment wae fear of conveying the con- taglon to the aristooratic party assembled there. This would be an equally good rea- son for not golng to Potsdam. SAYS HE WILL NOT ATTEND German Paper Announces that Em- peror Will Not He Present at Co BERLIN, Jan. 11.—Following close after the snub administered to Great Britain on the subject of the prince of Walks, earlier in the week (when the semi-oficial North German Gazette denled that Emperor Wil- Mam had urged the prince of Wales to visit Berlin on the occasion of his birthday celebration, polnting out that the prince had been invited at the request of King Edward) the North German Gazette today pointedly denfes that Emperor Wil Ham will attend either the memorial serv- 1ce In honor of the late Queen Victorla or the coronation of King Edward.

The Irish party is the only present party now perfectly united. Jotn Redmond, who was elected chairman last year as a measure of expediency, has been re-elected this year, with every evidence ncere enthuslasm. The coerclon prose- | cutions seem to have supplied that touch of fire to the party which has revived the old, flerce, fighting spirit. Not that the Irish members contemplate anything in the nature of scenes or disturbance in Parlia- ment. On the contrary, thelr policy wilk be one of vigilance and activity, which ex- | pericnce has shown them to be the most | eftective for their purpose Wyndham is being urgently pressed to proclaim the United Irish league an illegal combination, thus transforming its 200,000 { members into criminals. But Wyndham | does not hanker after trouble of that kind |and the government's policy Is to minimize | the Irish trouble until the South African republics are conquered | No one knows absolutely whether Colonel Lyach intends to venture to take his seat | for Galway or not. The authorities assert that he will be prosecuted for treason or | felony if he sets foot here, and in the pres- ent state of feeling It would need little evi- dence to convinee an English yary that any | Irishman of nationalist politics deserved | penal servitude for life Again there are rumors of peas ations hetween Secretary Chamberlain and President Kruger. Indeed, Lord Milner's extraordinary speech at Johannesburg is Interpreted as an attempt to balk a pos- | | sible settiement of terms other than un- | conditional surrender, and a settlement which he is not concerned in making. Mr. Chamberlain’s paper at Birmingham this week severely rates Lord Londonderry, the colonlal secretary’s cabinet colleague, for | declaring no settlement possible except on the unconditional surrender basis. But then Mr, Leyds asserts positively that the Boers are more than ever confident of wearing down the British determina- tion, and mo predictions about this war have been so wholly borne out as those of Lexds, The Boers undoubtedly are getting con- siderable reinforcements from Cape Colony, also from Europe, whence large supplies of ammunition have been sent them. Lord Kitchener has asked within ‘wo days for nine gunboats, to patrol the east African coast to stop these supplies. negoti- | a MURIEL WILSON IS THE STAR Shines ¥ Above ANl Others at the enn Devonshire's Grent Part (Copyright, 192, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Jan. 11.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—The duchess of Devoushire's annual New Year's party at Chatswortn, although the princess and prince of Wales, failed in their engagement (o go, was an {nstance of magnificent enter- taining. Muriel Wilson was the star in the private theatrical. She played with great success. First she appeared in a one-act plece by Weedon Grossmith, called “A Com- mission,” playing the part of a rich widow, Mrs. Hammersley. Then she appeared in “A Dream of the New Year the departing year and exquisite costumes. Priucess Henry of Pless, the tallest of Euglish beauties, whose golden hair and exquisite complexion are notable, appeared as o doll and danced and sgng gracefully. While some of the men were out shooting the duchess and other women formed bridge tables and played all day. Large sums changed hands, so the visit proved an ex- pensive luxury for some, Among the many explanations of the ab- representing wearing several | princess of Pless kept them away. But royalties always see the list of proposed guests before the Invitations are lesued and | usually reserve the right to strike out any | | name not acceptable. The princess of Wales might have done so if she had chosen to take exception to the princess of Ploss because of the prince of Wales' former in- fatuation without any one being the wiser except the duchess of Devonshire. Besides, the Wales only decided not to go the day before the party assembled. The duchess of Devonsiire, sometimes called the “‘Double Duchess,” because her first husband was the duke of Manchester (the present duke's grandfather), might also be termed “‘Duchess Ever Young and Fair, for she retains to a vemarkable' degree, though a great-grandmother, the beauty which once was world famous, REGULATE TELEPHONE GIRLS » of Parisian Company Pro- t Them from Personal Pleasantries.

In five days 5,000 pairs of shoes had been given away. The shoe manufacturer thought that was enough, but the boy became so impressed with the unsuspected ‘misery he had dis- covered in the course of his charity tour that he asked permission to sell his auto- mobile In order to buy more shoes. The parents let him do so, in order that the child might have the satisfaction of per- sonal charity and sacrifice. TEARS DOWN FAMOUS PICTURE “Rape of the Sab| en” Gives Place to in (Copyright, 1%02, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Jan. 11.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—One of the most famous plctures in the Blenheim palace collection, “The Rape of the Sa- bines,” by Peitro Da Cortona, has been offered by the duke of Marlborough to the Oxtord corporation and accepted. He will hang it in the town hall. The duchess of Marlborough has always objected to this pleture on account of its too realistic character, though it is nothing out of the the great hall, facing the stalrcase. The space hitherto occupled by Cartona's masterplece will now be filled by an ele- gant palnting of “The Rellef of Kimberly, in which the present duke took ‘a part. This will show that the martial records of the family did not end with its founder, ““The Great Duke." Marlborough, accompanted by his cousin, Winston Churchill, who {8 his constant companion, s acting as a recrulting ser- geant around Blenhelm In behalf of the government's appeal for further imperial yeomanry volunteers. The duke Is so pleased with the response made by the town of Witney that he has offered to build a clubhouse for the volunteers. Churchill has accepted a captainey in the Oxford yeomanry, but does not intend to go to the front again. Gambling and Divorce. While the earl of Rosslyn Is trying his gambling system at Monte Carlo with du- bious results, his suit In Bdinburgh for divorce from his wife is nearing con- clusion. His wife was the daughter of Robert Charles Vyner, one of England's | leading race horse owners. The marriage will apparently be dissolved without de- tense by the countess of Rosslyn, an agree- ment also belng arrived at as to the cus- tody of the three children of the marriage Mrs. Pearl Cragle (Mms. John Oliver Hobbs) glves an Interesting reason why women novelists usually adopt pseudonyms. “It 15 because,” she says, “of an unac- countable association in the people’s mind between the writer and her heroines.

President Roosevelt's culoglstic reference to Rils in an article re- cently published in England called attention to Riis' public work, and his book on its own merits is held to offer an exemplary model to soclal reformers. Breach of Promise Sult. Miss Portls Knight's sult against the duke of Manchester for breach of promise may be tried in the London courts at the end of the coming week, though it probably will not be taken up until early in the following week, as it is numbered twenty in the list. Douglas Norman, Miss Knight's solicitor, is confident his client has a good ! case and that she will obtain a verdict with heavy damages. According to the usual practice in breach of promise cases no specific amount is claimed, but he says: “The heartless treatment of my client by the duke must win the sympathy of the Jury and get us at least $25,000 damages.'" Sir Edward Clarke, K. C. bas been res | taed to act for Miss Knight, while F. . Gill, K.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Senator Chauncey M. Depew and his bride arrived from Europe tonight on the St. Louis. The sena- tor was in excellent health and spirits, but Mrs, Depew suffered much from seasick ness. Mr. Depew talked entertainingly of his visit (o France and described the trouble in having to attend three marriage ceremonies. Mr. Depew is chalrman of the board of the New York Central railroads, and he sald of the recent tunnel accident: “I never have come home before feeling %0 shocked and sorrowful. 1 kunow the tunnel well and 1 also know that the tuns nel hae every scheme and device for safety in it.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1l.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Senator Dietrich jolned Senator Millard today in a communication to Sec retary Hitchcock, recommending the re appolntment of W. R. Akers us recolver of the United States land office at Aliiance A letter, which was signed jolntly by the senators from Nebraska, sald: “We re- quest the reappointment of Mr. Akers. whose record has beeu exceptionally good." For register at Alllance there will be a contest, in all probability. J. R. Vun Boskirk bas been figuring to receive the support of both senators for F. M. Dor- rington's place, but so far as can be ascer tained Senator Dietrich is averse to com- mitting himself so far in advance, the of- fice not being vacant unttl August. Van Boskirk siys he recetved D). K promise o make him registe in the event of Thompson's clection to the senate, but Thompson having failed he thought Mr. Dietrich would make good any promises the Lincoln man might have made. Dietrich evidently does not see it in this light, and Van Boskirk will go home without having secured Senator Dietrich's pledge (o be for him when the time comes for action. Stdney the Thompson's at Alliance Land Office Recelvership, In Sidney land office recelvership, which 1s vacant on Monday, Mr. Harris, the present incumbent, will undoubtedly be reappointed, as he has no opposition and is strongly indorsed by republicans ot that district. While the senators have not had a conference on this position, it is thought Senator Dietrich will Join his col- league in recommending Harris.

It {s a pretty battle for supremacy, Mr. Schnelder being intent upon vindica- tion, as Is Mr. Richards. If some third man could be induced to enter the lists it might clear the atmosphere considerably. Judge Baker on Bartley Judge Baker came out in the open today and safd that Governor Savage had killed himself politically by pardoning Bartley wople of the state,” sald he, “have be- come so greatly incensed over his action in this regard that his party will not dare try to nominate him again for governor. Over nine-tenths of the newepapers aro against him because of the Bartley affair, and the rank and file of the people are much displeased. As a trial judge, it looks to me, after going over the entire case, as it Bartley had simply taken the money, and there was nothing to do hut to sen- tence him. His appearance in court was much wgainst him, as he remained stolld and sullen, refusing to do anything to clear himselt.” Halleck F. Rose of Lincoln fs in ington to resent his client, D. E Thompson, who has a case in the supreme court which will be reached efther Monday or Tuesday. Thompson is defendant in a suit brought by the receiver of the Capital National bank of Lincoln, wherein it is al- leged that Thompson, who was a stocke holder, know'ng the bank was about to fafl, turned his etock over to a person who could not be held llable. Thompson pleads the statute of nmitation, and the argument will be along those lines. Nebraska Mrs. B. §.
