Many per- sons. were killed or wounded on either side during the fighting. The newly appointed Ministry, however, only lasted one hour. The people rejected the election of Moreno and proclaimed as President General Alfero, the former Pregident of Ecuador and leader of the revolution, and in his absence Dr. Emlilio Arvilo assumed the civil and miiitary au- thority. A great panic prevailed here dur- ing the evening, and in the midst of the disorder Genperal Plaza, Minister of Ecua- dor to the United States, who arrived here on January 18 and assumed chief command of the army in its operations against the rebels, escaped from the city and embarked on board the Chilean steamship Loa, which will leave here to- morrow for Panama.

The type of balloon to be used has not yet been .decided upon, but it is certain it will not be like the balloon which was used recently in crossing the Mediterranean, since this required water for the manipulation of a steer- ing gear.

Jacob A, Riis Asserts Party Lines Will Be Wiped Out. Chief Magistrate May Con- sider It His Duty to Re- | main in Uffice. Spectal Dispatch to The Call | TOLEDO, Ohlo, Jan. 20.—Jacob A. Riis, close friend and writer of a biography of President Roosevelt, as- serts tnat the President may become a candidate for renomination in 1908. He said to-day: | “If duty demanded that President | | Roosevelt continue this fight, he would do it. I w he does not want to become a candidate for amother term, but at the bottom of his heart he be- { lieves the people will fight for him.” The first indications of the indirect effect of the Roosevelt administration, gays Mr. Rils, will be felt in the Con- gressional tions of 1907, when party lines will be wiped out. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-<Jacob A. Riig’ declaration that President Roose- velt would run for a third term if it became mnecessa in order to achleve the defeat of the “money power,” which he believes engaged in obstructing the administration’s reform'programme, attracted considerable gttention here. In fact, everything printed bearlng on the President’s political ambition at- tracts much attention and ‘especial im- portance is attached to Mr. Rils' state- ment that “party lines will be wiped out in 1908.” This, it is declared, fore- shadows. the formation of a “Roosevelt party” that will sweep the President i for a third term. 3 Representatives of the President point out significant things, both North and South, in justification of their be- lief, They say that the President has already laid the ground for a “Roose- velt party” in the North. He can either boss the Republicin party in New York and New England or éreate a “Roosevelt party,” just as he chooses. In the South he is working to appease the Southern Democrats. His appoint- ment of General Luke Wright to be Embassador to Tokio is regarded here as purely political. His se- | |lectton of Judge Ross of Arkan- sas to be one of American delegates to the second peace confer- ence at The Hague Is on the same lines. His determination to retire negroes in the South as office-holders so that they can make way for white men is part of the same policy. % There is a very general feeling that the President expects to get strong support from the South and he 1s seek- ing to hold enough Southern men in Congress to carry through his meas- ures, despite Republican opposition. The Southern Democrats saved the Philippine tarift bill this week. Senator Tillman, when asked about the statement of Mr. Rils, said he was not surprised at it. Many members of Congress, however, immediately “froze up.” They resent the idea that the President is the only representative of the American people in Washington and that they are controlled by the “money power,” except when the Presi- dent spurs them into action; but t}may' don’t want to talk about it. They are growing to resent bitterly in private conversation the declarations made by Mr. Riis and other magazine writers and lecturers, that unless they vote for the remedies presented by the Presi- dent they are under control of the Standard Ofil Company.

DUKE REPLIES - TO HER HUSBAND Denies the Charges That He Made and Accuses Him of Extreme Cruelty. Special Dispatch to The Call TRENTON, N. J.; Jgn. 20—Charges of infidelity and cruelty are made against James B. Duke, a multi-millionaire tobac- co merchant, by his wife of less than a year, Mrs. Lilllan B. Duke, who to-day filed in the Court of Chancery in this city her answer- to the petition for divorce which her husband recently instituted, naming Frank T. Huntoon of New York ag co-respondent. Mrs. Duke denies every charge made against her by her husband; accuses him of violating his marital vows; names a servant, Mary Smith, housekeep- er at the Duke country home in Somer- ville, this State, as co-respondent, 'and then prays the court that the suit of her husband shall be dismissed and a divorce be granted to her instead, together withi a fund from him for separate maintenance. Mrs. Duke declares that her husband, immediately following ' their marriage, took her on a long wedding ‘journey, which covered a large pert of Europe, and in a most inhuman fashion' insisted and compelled her to take and continue long journeys in an open vehicle; exposed to rain, hail and snow, over a large part of Italy and France, 8o’ that she lost twenty pounds in weight. Heér -nervous and physical health were wrecked and she has never been completely restored since. Continuing Mrs.. Duke alleges that her husband at many other times since her marriage has treated her unkindly and cruelly.' She says that on several ocea- sions he kicked her out of:bed, struck her with a crutch and called her vile names.

Estimates Give Them 533 Votes to 137 for Conservatives. » Chamberlain Will Lead the Opposition to the Present Government. LONDON, Jan. 20.—Within the last eighit days the political complexion of the United Kingdom has been completely changed by the tide of Liberalism, which even now is higher than the most san- guine radica. dared hope for. The new Parliament will be overwheim- ingly Liberal. Up to this time the total number of members elected is 480, of whom 247 are Liberals, 114 Unionists, ¥ Laborites, 78 Nationalists and one Social- ist. This leaves 190 seats still vacant. The Liberals thus far have gained no less than 177 seats, counting Labor gains as Liberal or Government galns, and it the same proportion be kept up for the re- maining 190 seats the Liberals will have 407 votes in the next Parliament, to which may be added those of &2 Laborites, one Soclalist and 83 Nationalists, which would give Prisfe Minister Campbell-Bannerman 533 votes, against 137 for the Comserva~ tives. 3 While this calculation concerning tha results in the 130 vacant seats i3 entirely speculativ, impossible of reali« zation, mn’% more extraordinary or startling than any of the results de« clared during the last few days. Ireland remains practically unchangsd. The Nationalists have plucked one seal from the solid northeast cormer. TORY, STRONGHOLDS STORMED. - The Liberals have broken into the Tory stronghold of Scotland, with prospects for other remarkable successes, while, as al+ ready noted, the great fortresses of Un- fonism during the last ten years hava been razed by the storm of undreamed-of Liberal sentiment or of oppesition to the Unidnist policy. With the exception of Birmingham, which is completely controlled by Jo- seph Chamberlain, all of the great centers have shown a determination to from the old order. Baifour probably will remain an outsider untu he is given & chance In a by-election, though possibly some safe Unionist seat may be reiin- quished in his favor before the end of next week. It is understood several ef« forts In this divection have been made, but without success. Such reports as these, it 1s believed, are materially weak+ ening the prestige of the accredited lead= er of the Unionist party. In the absence of Balfour, Joseph Chamberlain probably will taks the lead in the next Parllament. At any rate, he is now acknowledged to be the strong man and will have the greatest support of any man on the opposition benches. The most remarkable feature of the elections thus far is the number of Labor« ftes elected. The last Parliament could claim but seven Laborites, while up to the present no less than forty of them have won seats, and with the prospects of further gains it is not all fmprob- able that labor will have a representa tion of fifty members in the new Parlia« ment. PARLIAMENT FOR IRELAND, This undoubtedly would have & trée mendous effect on future legislation i England, as the Laborites are almost cer« tain to get the support of the home rulers in any reasonable measure introduced dy them. One of the most prominent politicians in England said to-day: “It is useless to minimize the present revolution, and we might as well begin to take a new view of the situation. In my opinion a Parliament sitting at Dub- lin may be looked for within the mnext two'\years. Assuredly John Redmond, leader of the Nationalist party, and Prime Miuister Campbell-Bannerman have reached a working' agreement, and it is inconceivable that Redmond would be content with anything less than an Irish Parlfament. I have no idea that such a Parllament would mean separa- tion, and have good reason to believe that a plan is now under consideration by ‘which the religious condition can be elim- inated from the deliberations of such a Parllament, which would act under the imperial Parllament, and at least try the experiment of administering Irish affairs under conditions which have changed In the last century.” The. elections will be over before the end of next week, the last contest being set for January 25, but so far as the Lib- eral is concerned its life will now be measured, not, as was predicted prior to the elections, by months or & few years, but by the limitations of the septennial act.
