LONDON, July 19.—(New York World Cablegram — Special Telegram.) — Arthur Balfour, Great Britain's new prime minis- ter, is one of the few remaining really interesting and attractive figures in Eng- Msh public life. In appearance he is tall, ,slender, willowy and distingulshed looking, with the scholar's stoop and the head of a philosopher. He wears eyeglasses. His gray eyes are mildly contemplative. His whole demeanor suggests in one aspect & ylelding gentility and a modesty, in- deed an effeminacy, which has earned him the nickname of “Clara.”’. He combined the indolence of s man of indifferent physique with ardent devotion to golf, oycling and motoring.

Changes When Reused. When roused he undergoes a startling transformation. His listlessness s re- placed by an intense mervous emergy. He gesticulates passionately and his voice vi- brates with ang: But he is maintain- ing perfect mental control while he pours out a flood of biting ridicule on his vie- tim. It was in fighting the Irish party chief secretary of Ireland from 1887 to 1801 that he made his reputation. He placed the first permanent coercion act on the statute books. It gave his Irish Mcials absolute license in administration and unflinchingly justified their every act. ‘That whs his jdea of a resolute govern- ment. It resulted in such excesses that Mr. Gladstone again got a majority, owing to revulsion of feeling in England. ‘Balfour o moat, the !lnm*‘nf cnmm:.! has had in the memory of living man. He s entirely devold of method or capacity for manag medt. In every succeeding session his blunders, arlsing mainly from sheer neg- lect, have discouraged and enraged his fol- lowers, but they have borne with him because of their respect for his brilllancy as a debater and because he s the only obstacle to Joseph Chamberlain’s ascendancy, which they dread. But Mr. Chamberlain is so rapldly gaining the upper hand that in snother year Mr. Balfour's succession to the premlership would have been impos- The favorite summing up in com- the two men is: “But Balfour s a gentieman.” That s the one secret of his Bold on the house. He is a gentleman to his finger tips; cultivated, refined, well bred, unobtrusive and somewhat superior, but undentably tascinating. Socially Very Exelusive, “Arthur, I fear, thinks us a vulgar lot," sald Sir Willlam Harcourt, when spoke of Mr. Balfour's elegant aloofn toward the House of Commons. Socially he is exceedingly exclusive. His triends are found among “the souls," which coterle includes several very beautiful and clever women. He is a confirmed bachelor of 54 years, though he delights in women's soclety and throws an extraordinary glamour over them. It is sald that he once proposed to the captivating “Margot” Tennant, now Mrs. Herbert H. Asquith,” but his Intimates faugh at the story. He bas been very at- tentive to different women. Of late years, wherever he goes, a certaln coterie of married women with whom he has intel- DJectual afnities—Lady Elcho, Lady Graoby, Lady Helen Vincent, Mrs, W. H. Grenwell and Mrs. Leopold Rothschild— always are invited to meet him. Last Baturday evening, after he had ac- cepted the premiership, he motored to Mrs. Grenwell's residence at Taplow to join ® house party of his set. He remained over night and vas in the gayest spirits, but never mentioned ome word about the polilteal erisis, even to the favored, f ‘Who were left to learn it from Monda Bewspapers with the rest of the world.

Even when writing his nightly letter to his soverelgn during the sitting of the House ©f Commons Mr. Balfour would much pre- fer to be able to stand to the work than to have to do It with the writing paper Testing on his knees. The desk which he uses in Downiug street he has used for very many years. He keeps a tall candle in & candlestick constantly upon it, so as to be ready if needed in the waning light of a dark London day.

Makonnen is black-skinned, but without the coarse features usual to an African. He dresses in strikingly pure white, a purple band of velvet trimming the edges, indicat- ing his rank, and over all a cloak of black silk and a white felt sombrero. Escorted by a squad of galloping culrassiers he goes about Parls in a victorla drawn by four white horses. Yesterday he was introducefl to the de- lights of the automobile whirling at a dizzy rate to the Eiffel tower, thence to Napol- eon's torgb, and thence to the School of Fine Arts, where the presence of female models posing nude before crowds of students seemed to embarrass him terri- bly. MAY ABOLISH THE GUILLOTINE No Place in France Willing to Bear Distinction of Bein, of Execution, Place (Copyright 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, July 19.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—The guillo- tine seems to be doomed. A war of words now waging in the senate threatens to extirpate capital punishment and with it France's grim and blood-stdined instrument of public vengeance. The crisis was brought on by the case of a man named Bidaux, condemned by the courts to death. Formerly the place of exccution was La Roquette, near Pere la Chalz, but that has been voted too public, for it is con- ceded that such exhibitions have no salu- tary effect upon the morals of the people. The prisoner is conflned at LaSante and it was suggested that the execution take place within the prison walls, but LaSante is by no means anxious for the distinction, hence the matter was referred to the Senate and the Chamber of Depu- tles. veral sepators have demanded know why there should be,capital pun -ment at all when it - be so concealed. The a tor and ins has grown so strong that the decapitation date of Bideaux promises to be indefinitely postponed. STUDYING AMERICAN HORSE Cavalry Officers Coming Over to Look Into Breed Methods.

PARIS, July 19.—(New Yok World Cf blegram—Special Telegram.)—Thp kay volced his impressions of J. Plerpont gan with such frankness to M. W Rousseau and the French ex-pr guests on the latter's yacht, Ariag: they dined aboard Hohenzollern r ddy, as to startle the French guests. Ay ding to letters received here from members of the party, the kalser considers Mr. Morgan a man of few ideas, but tremendous audacity, who has been wonderfully served by cir- cumstances which might just as well have gone against him. The kalser is quoted as having sald: “Try as I could, his conversation falled to reveal to me that he had any clear compre- hension of the vast harmonies and conflicts of the commercial universe. I was amazed to find him not well informed regarding the historical and philosophical development of nations. His political economy leaves him unconcerned regarding socialism, which un- doubtedly will soon constitute the most stupendous question everywhere. Mr. Mor- gan confessed that he had never been sufi- clently Interested to study into what so- clalism means exactly.” Mr. Morgan struck the kaiser as being a man who s absorbed in immediate prob- lems and incapable of counting conse- quences far ahead. The kalser is o sented ad ing spoken somewhat ingly of the “American boyish enthusiasm which, after his successful combining of the interests, magoified Mr. Morgan into a sort of flnancial God.” The kalser 1s said to have added: “After the first surprise, Mr. Morgan rose tp the part and now his ambition is to remodel the world. But I can't see how he has a single great ide: His chief merit lay in selzing the right time in which to effect combines on a scale which heretofore no- body had dared to attempt. But in so doing Mr. Morgan was rather the instrument of irrepressible economic forces than an In- ventive genius.” After the dinner the kaiser told Mme. ank-&muq-y that he considered her Tusbund the greatest statesman allve, add- ing: “If he had had the opportunities afforded by the premlership in monarchical countries his name would have outshone & r's vhen that of Richelieu, Bismarck or Gladstone.”" The kings of Denmark and Sweden, who have shown Waldeck-Rousseau every atten- tion in the course of the Arladne’s crulse, each pald him somewhat similar compli- ments in their welcoming speeches. (Copyright 152, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, July 19.—(New York World Ca. blegram—Special ~ Telegram.)—While the attentions pald by the kaiser to J. Pler- pont Morgan have caused indignation here, the German press, as & means of safely venting Its spleen, has been discussing Mr, Morgan's huge fortune and Inquiring whether a state should allow such colossal sums to accumulate in the hand of-indi- viduals. Mr. Morgan's methods and alms are treated on all sides with the utmost severity and the German government is warned on the danger of allowing him any footing in connection with any German enterprise. EXPLORE WONDERFUL GROTTO Remain in the Cavern So Long that Friends Give Them Up as Being Lost. (Copyright 12, by Press Publishing Zo.) PARIS, July 19.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special ' Telegram.)—One of the most beautiful grottoes in Europe has just Dbeen explored for the first time in Switzer- land. It is near the village of Statden, not far from Schwytsz. It lles at the foot of the hill of Pragl. Many previous efforts had been made to explore it, but they failed on account of the abundance of water, the steepness of the inclines which separate the chambers and the lrequenl caving In of the walls. The four bold Alpists who have fnally achieved the dangerous feat are Arthur Webrli of Bendlikon, Saxer, Simmerman and Widmer Osterwalder of Zurich. They entered the grotto on a Friday with pro- visions for elght days, rope, ladders and acetylene lamps and came out the follow- ing Sunday at noon. The villagers had con- cluded that they were lost and were pre- paring to organize a search party. The explorers penetrated nearly two miles and report finding great natural beauties. Many of the chambers are hung with stalactites and subterranean torrents powerful enough to run a sawmill add to the grandeur of the whole. The men contended that the risk was outwelghed by the. discoveries made. FINED FOR KISSING HIS WIFE Bavarian Took Too Much Time and Delayed T n the Ratlroad, (Copyright 12, by Press Publishing Co.)

The German is & Vircuosq in Kkissing. He has a particular kiss or every function where one is vequired, and that imparted ou the departure of a feminine friend is the longest.

PARIS, July 19.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—An incident that almost caused & riot occurred at the recent annual fete of gymnastic assocla- tions In the Tuileries. Two hundred or- ganizations were represented and the pres- ident of the republic was present with sev- eral of the officers of his household. M. Loubet took advantage of the occasion to bestow several decorations, made a short speech to the assembly, testitylng to his great interest in gymnastic socleties and the military instruction they comprehend. At the moment when he was most cor- dlally emphasizing his confidence in their merit & volce from the back of the hall cried: “Since you love gymnastic socle- ties so much, M. Loubet, bring back their tounder, Paul Deroulede, to France.” The mention of the political exile’s name caused @& great sensation.

REASON FOR KING'S ANXIETY His Death Before Coronation Would Aftect the Jolnture Rights of the Queen. (Copyright 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, July 19.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—King Ed- ward's determination to be crowned imme- diately s due mainly to the fact that if he should die uncrowned Queen Alexandra's claim to jointure from the state would be injuriously affected. Grave doubts still exist as to whether he can bear the coro- nation robes as soon as the 9th of August, his wound must still be paintul.

NUMBER OF CHANGES CONTEMPLATED Names of Important Personages Suggested for Positions, DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH HAS A CHANCE Popularity of His Wife May Win for Him Cabinet Ofice Without Re- gard to His Abtiity, Own LONDON, July 19.—Cabinet making Is the absorbing subject of discussion here. During the week the public was regaled with more or less shrewd prophecies, but no intimations were given out of the inten- tions of the premier, A. J. Balfour, re- garding the successors of the ministers who have already resigned or as to how far the changes in the ministry may be expected to extend. It 18 undeniable that a very large sec- tlon of the conservatives and liberal- unionists are strongly dissatisfied with the ministry as at present constituted and It 1s increasingly apparent that in spite of all the Parliamentary eulogies of Mr. Bal- four many unionists believe that a govern- ment of greater strength and capacity could have been established with Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, as leader. The opinion is freely expressed on all sides by unionists as well as the 1ib- erals that the interests of the empire now- adays are so vast and complex that they are sorely in need of the oversight of a man of broader and more forceful powers, who should be disassocliated from the at- mosphere of constant debates of such measures, for instance, as the education bili or the question of releasing Patrick /. McHugh, the member of lament for North Leitrim, from the penalty of a petty Irigh court. ' The appointment of Mr. Chamberlain to the premiership would have been received with cold distavor by the opposition and would have been a red flag to the Anglo- phobes, but nevertheless there is a multi- tude of government supporters who would be glad to have him as chiet, and the As- soclated Press s informed from sources of undoubted authenticity that Mr. Cham- berlain's clalms to the premiership would have been recognized as being better than Mr. Balfour's had he mot whenever occ slon presented itself urged Mr. Balfour's succession against his own. Stroug Point of Salisbury. M Inynrt-nt and strong polnt of ad lnmu which has not cmea and which It s feared Mr. Balfour will not fully inherit, was Lord Salisbury's persistent resistance to BEmperor Wil- liam’s efforts to entangle Great Britain in an alllance with Germany. These efforts have been made at intervals since 1895 and are likely to be renewsd now that Lord Sallsbury has retired. The chief immediate cause of the ap- prehension, however, is that Mr. Balfour will be unwilling to elther radically reduce the size of the unwieldly cabinet, now num- bering nineteen, or make sweeping changes in It. Nowhere is its complete recon- struction more earnestly urged than among the conservatives themselves, some of whom profess to fear that unless the ministry is strengthened its support in the House of Commons will rapidly dwindle. The conservatives are doubtful whether Mr. Balfour is sufficiently resolute to Tecreate the ministry against the wishes of most of his political official assoclate: Poasible Cabinet Changes. The consensus of best Informed con- servative opinion points to a list of ap- pointments something like the following as being the most likely: Mr. Hanbury, the president of the Board of Agriculture, to succeed Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the chancellor of the exchequer, the announce- ment of whose resignation was not received with favor by the conservatives, with the exceplion of those who desire to see the post of the exchequer filled by a man com- mitted to the principle of preferential trade with the colonles. Other candidates mentioned for the exchequer are Rt. Hon. James W. Lowther, the former Parlia- mentary secretary for foreign affairs; Lord George Hamilton, the secretary of state for Indla, who was not considered to be a fipancier, and 8ir BEdgar Viocent, the tormer financial adviser to the Egyptian government &nd ex-governor of the im- perial Ottoman bank at Constantinople. It is now comsidered probable that Lord Halsbury will be succeeded as lord chai cellor by Sir R. B. Finlay, at present at- torney general. The manner In which Lord Halsbury exercised his prerogative in the appointment of Judges has caused consid- erable dissatisfaction. It {s asserted that many of the appointees do mot reach the high standards previously maintalned in the English courts. Chance for Marlborough. Earl Cadogan, the lord lleutenant of Ire- 1and, will probably be succeeded by the duke of Marlborough, the earl of Pembroke and Montgomery, or the earl of Dudley. If the duke of Marlborough is appointed it will be due to his wife's popularity as much as the duke's merits. The duke's pame is also mentioned us the possible successor of the earl of Hopetoun as govermor gemeral of Australia. Should C. T. Ritchle resign the home sec- retaryship George Wyndham, now chief sec- retary for Ireland, is considered a promising candidate. Lord Ashbourne's position as lord chan- cellor of Ireland 1s acceptably filled The Right Hon. Sir Edward Carson, the solicitor general, and the duke of Bedford are strongly urged to succeed Lord James of Hereford in the anomalous cabinet posi- tion of chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, Lord Hopetoun Is a second passibility, The resignation of Lorg George Hamilton as secretary of state for India s considered probable. J. Austin Chamberlain, eldest son of Jo- seph Chamberlain and financial secretary to the treasury, will doubtless become a cabi- pet minister in some secondary position. The Right Hon. Gerald Balfour, president of the Board of Trade, and brother of ‘the premier, cannot be sald to be popular with hiz party, but be is not expected to retire from the cabinet. The retention of Lord Lansdowne as for- elgn secretary and the duke of Devonshire as president of the council is considered foreordained, and it is not belleved that the changes will go beyond those meationed.

This was done in revenge for the fatal stabblng of EIli Loucks, a member of Company F, Sixth cavalry, by a negro in the resort. Noth- ing but the walls and roof of the build- ing were left standing.

The police on the crowd. They had great difficulty in quelling the riot. A dozen shots were fired along the front of the mob by sol- diers. Four of the latter were severely clubbed. Their comrades, mad with rage, were unarmed and hesitated about rush- ing the heavily armed police. Quiet was restored at 10 o'clock, but the soldiers and negroes are buylng guns, and serious trouble is anticipated. Great ex- cltement prevailed in Leavenworth during the hour the regulars were in charge of the tenderloin distriet. At 11:35 the rulns of the house at 610 Main street were discovered to be on fire. applied. The blaze wi nguished before the bullding was rhuch damaged. Policeman Joseph Wager struck a sol- dler In the back of the head at 1 o'clock this morning. He is still uncon- scious. It is belleved his neck is broken. Great excitement prevails. The /down- town streets are now swarming with sol- diers. Loucks, over whom the trouble began, is a barber in the Sixth infantry and today he received his pay. John Graham, a negro, evidently knew of this, for he waylaid Loucks near the Missourl Pacific depot and demanded his money. Upon Loucks’ re- fusal Graham drew a knife and slashed Loucks across the abdomen, inflicting a very serious and possibly fatal wound. Loucks is now in the post hospital. Graham fled after the cutting, but was arrested.

No further posscs will start after him. The pursult of Tracy through Clark, Cow- litz, Lewis, Thurson, Plerce, Pitsak, Sno- homish and King countles bas cost these counties $10,000. The fact that Oregon declines to pay Mrs. Waggener of Chehalls the reward for Merriil's body has done much toward the flat drop of the Tracy hunt.
