The vast majority of Englishmen, | regardless of partW.are evidently strongly in favor of the war. This sentiment, Lord Rosebery believes, can be manipulated so as to give the Liberals a fighting chance at the next election. South Manchester and the Isle of Wight have greatly girensthened the hands of Tord Rose- ery’s followers and have made the Lib- life | | | eral leader’s return to active political almost a certainty. | Lord Rosebery’s Plans. | There is no truth in the report that Lord Rosebery will form a coalition with Joseph Chamberlain. What Lord Rosebery has had in mind during the past few months has been an active campaign against the Government for its dilatoriness In waging the war and a sweeping agitation for com. | mon-sense reform of the army. This, | combined with expansion of the empire | and the soclal and economic planks which | have always distinguished the party, | would, he belleves, give him a fair chance | of leading the now disintegrated and dis- credited party to victory. ‘While the bye-elections have elated the | Roseberyltes and depressed the uo-calle{i‘ “Little ~ Englanders” they have also| caused the Conservatives to speculate | upon the desirability of an early dissolu- | tion. In spite of previous rumors to the | contrary, It has been tacitly understood | among the Cabinet Ministers that the general election must await the practical end of the war, If not the pacification of | the Transvaal. Now, however, they find | they are able to get such lar%’e majorities from the constituencles that it has be-| come a serious question If it would not | be better to ‘‘make hay while the sun | shines.” S0 strong is this feeling that, granting Lord Roberts makes fair prog- ress within the next month, it is quite likely that a dissolution will occur at the expliration of that period, though nothing definite has vet been agreed upon. In Parliament itself the most important event of the week was the settlement of | the Australian federation difficulty, which Mr. Ghamberlain announced as a com- promise, but which the delegates claim as a complete concession of their de- mands. The bill enabling women to serve as Aldermen and Councilors of London, though it has passed its second reading, will not come up again, as it has little chance of becoming a law. Joy Over Mafeking’s Relief. The Mafeking rejoicings have caused the weekly papers to print serious arti- cles on the increase of historical out- bursts in England, and they ask the ques tion If the race i really losing its cha acteristics. A curfous feature of the dem- onstrations was the enormous number of buttons hearing Baden-Powell's and Rob- erts’ phn(u{rn hs. The public here has taken up the butfon fad with an energy equal to anything in its history in Amer- fca. The bulk of these buttons were im ported from America, the shrewd manu- facturers having procured photos of Brit- | ish officers likely to become popular. Major General Baden-Powell, by the way, is now suffering the fate of all he- roes In being engaged, by rumor, to sev- eral young women in varlous parts of the eountry.

It is known the Bryan | managers want an Eastern man on the | tail of the ticket and prefer that he come from New York State or céy. A delegation composed of two National Committeemen and three of the personal advisers of Colonel Bryan called on Mr. | Coogan at the City Hall this noon by ap- | pointment. The consultation lasted an hour, after which Mr. Coogan ldl‘nllled‘ | he had made the contribution, but de- clined to say anything regarding Vice Presidential aspirations. His brother, Ed- | ward Coogan, said: “You m‘;{ state that the Tnmman{ dele- gation to Kansas City will be solid for the renomination of Mr. Bryan. Regarding the possibility of m; brother being the candidate for Vice President, I am not authorized by him to make any announce- ment. It is entirely a matter personal to himself at thig time."

M. C. A. Literary | Society last evening developed & young orator, Charles Francis Adams, aged 19, who advanced telling arguments in the negative on the question of the retention of the Philippine Islands by the United States. There were threa other debaters, all adults—Edwin T. Hook, Alexander Keller and Henry Warfleld. They spoke with some force, but the surprise of the | evening was the talk of young Adams. Sending the army and navy to the Phil- ippines, he said, did not authorize holding them. One said that the Philippines had been taken by right of conquest; but then admitted that.thera were rebels to sub- due, which seemed to indicate that they had not been conquered after all. Where did the constitution of the United States authorize the holding of colonies? Did the people of the United States desire to y have the Filipinos as fellow citizens, to vote and take part in American politics and to come and go at will and compete with those born on the soil of the United | States? There were eighty tribes in the Philippines and many of them were more | barbarous than ever were North Ameri- can Indians. . One speaker had said, o young Adams | remarked emphatically, that it would be | a good thing to have cheap sugar from the Philippines to take the place of Ger- man sugar in the American market. Did | not that speaker know ‘that Claus Spreck- els had established beet ‘sugar factories | in California that had given much em- | | ployment and prosperity to the State, the | product alrealy helle, to shut out for- | elgn sugar? Would if be a good thing to | have cheap sugar when the cheapness came by reason of low wages and by the | establishment of competition that would | lower wages in Californja? Was it proper | to take from the Filipinos the rights that | they had that they mnsm be given a sys- | tem that' they would not appreciate? ‘What had become of the principle that governments rightfully exist only by the consent of the governed? ‘When the boy with the historic name sat down he was greeted with a round of applause. | NIGHT WAS A SUCCESS Attendance Was Large and Enter- tainment Was Very Pleasing and Varied.

The story is that the ring is an old heix- loom in the Hohenzollern family, dating from the time when the gncestors of the uremberg—fol- lowed their leade : to the capture of the holy sepulcher from the Moslems. argraf of Ulrich, who lived in the thir- teenth century, was an adventurous Prince, and it is belleved that the ring which the Kaiser now wears came Into Ulrich’s possession after a_hard fought battle under the walls of Jerusalem. It belonged to one of Saladin's successors, and in some unexplained way it found its way to the finger of the German Kknight.
