Brilliant Career of Retiring Premier
Ends In HopeleM Sickness -Borrow
Among KadlcaU.
London, April 6. Oreat Britain
la la a peculiar position today, being
without either Premier or Ministry.
The long-expected resignation of Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the
Prime Minister, has been offlclally
announced. According to the Court
Circular, he resigned on the urgent
recommendation of his medical ad'
Tlsars. and, as the constitution pro
vides no automatic successor, it rest
log with the King to choose a new
head of the government, and as in
accordance with the custom and pre
cedent, the whole Cabinet resigns
With the Premier, no step to appoint
a Ministry can be taken until Her
bert H. Asqulth, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, who has been summoned
to Biarritz for the purpose, has seen
the King.
The position of the country Is qulto
unprecedented, there being no pre
vious example of a change occurring
In the Premiership while the sov
ereign was abroad. On this account
the course of proceduro to be fol
lowed la in some doubt.
Blr Henry's condition remains un
changed, according to the physicians'
bulletin published today. The King,
In telegraphing his acceptance of the
Premier's resignation, conveyed an
expression of his regret and esteem,
with best wishes for Sir Henry's
recovery.

Watson and Williams Their Choice
., for National Standard bearer.
Bt. Louis For President of the
United States Thomas E. Wataon
of Georgia.
For Vice-President Samuel W,
Williams of Indiana.
THOMAS E. WATSON.
This ticket was nominated last Fri
day by the People's party convention
after two stormy sessions, through
oat which the Nebraska and Minne
sota delegations, working In the In
terests of W. J. Bryan, strove desper
ately to bring about an adjournment
till after nominations had been made
by the Democratic and Republican
parties. Hopelessly outnumbered,
and without any chance of gaining
their object, the Nebraska men
fought desperately to the last, and
when Jay A. Forrest of Albany, N.
T., mounted the platform to place
Mr. Watson In nomination, they
withdrew from the convention, at
tended by the Minnesota delegation.
Vancouver Milk Poisonous.
Victoria, II. C, April 6. "One
hundred and forty babies under a
year old died In Vancouver last sum
mer. The milk supply Is so bad It
Is like feeding them arsenic. Of the
number 100 babies were undoubtedly
sacrificed to rotten milk. Unless
there Ib some change they will die
this summer like rats In a trap."
These startling charges with re
spect to Vancouver's milk supply
have been made offlclally to the City
Council by Dr. Jakendall, who urges
bacterlologlcnl tests. The Council
has ordered an Investigation.

filed In the Supreme Court Monday,
forms the most amusing document
that has ever ngu-ed in a divorce
trial In New' York City.
For the first time the name of Dus
tln Farnum, the actor, is brought
forward as a co-respondent. In addi
tion, 'Mr. Gould declares that his
wife was grossly Intoxicated at many
places on many occasions; that she
consumed daily enough mixed drinks
to put several strong men out of
business; that at theaters, restaur
ants and hotels she repeatedly be
haved In a scandalous manner while
undor the Influence of cocktails, high
balls and campagne; that she once
broke up a fashionable card party
by biting her hostess In the arm and
that she shocked a wedding party at
St. Thomas Church by announcing
that she saw "many old cats" pres
ent. In addition to the clause Involv
ing Farnum, the answer filed by the
milionaire's counsel embodied all
the older allegations which he has
previously made about her miscon
duct with Colonel W. F. Cody (Buf
falo BUI), both before and after her
marrluge, drunkenness, quarreling
and using obscene and profane lan
guage. Bloody Election Itfots in Lisbon
Lisbon, April 6. The elections
here today, which were conducted
peaceably with the exception of
minor disorders income, of the dis
affected districts, were followed by
serious rioting, which was only put
down by most vigorous action on the
part of the police and troops.
The rioting broke out In different
parts of the city, as though by a pre
concerted plan. Troops which has
been patrolling and others that had
been held In reserve were Immedi
ately ordered Into action, and they
repeatedly charged the mobs that In
places filled the streets, but without
effect. The rioters used clubs,
stones and whatever other weapon
was at hand, and finally the troops
were obliged to fire upon them, kill
ing and wounding a number.

FLEET'S CODING
ASSURES PEACE
ADMIRAL KVAXS HAYS VOYAGE

INESTIMABLE VALUE.
Commercial War Is Near and Will Be
Fought With Brains and Dol.
lara aad Not Ten-Inch Guns.
Ban Francisco, April (.Admiral
Robley D. Evans, In an Interview last
night said:
"Tbe greater Interest of the United
States today la In the Pacific. Tbe
coming of the fleet to this coast has
not only demonstrated to the world
that we have 16 battleships which
can be brought together for a long
cruise at a moment's notice, but It
has called the attention of tbe people
of our own country to the fact that
we have a Pacific Coast as well as an
Atlantlo Coast, and that it will be
defended Just as much as every Inch
of land around New York, and that
our Interests In the Pacific are today
greater than In the Atlantic.
"This la the short road to the
countries of the Far East, where the
greatest commercial development is
to be. With development will come
war, but it will be a commercial war,
fought with brains and dollars and
not with 10-lnch guns. It will be
generated by such men as Harriman,
and the part of the navy Is only to
be always ready. We do not plan
nor fight commercial battles.
K. H. HARRIMAN.
."The coming of the fleet wu most
opportunely timed by the President
and Its arrival In the Pacific has re
sulted In. the present assurance of
peace. Not that I ever believed that
there was any actual danger of war.
The people of both countries realized
too well what a dreadful calamity
such a war would have been.
"If the navy should ever be called
upon to fight In the settlement of
our Interests In the Pacific, it would
have to stop with Us guns the com
mercial development for which the
leaders of industry are battling with
brains and dollars.
"We accomplished much In the
cause of peace in the Pacific when we
demonstrated that the efficiency of
the fleet increased with each day of
the cruise. When the fleet sailed
through the Straits of Magellan Into
the Pacific, the ships were In better
condition and better prepared for
action than they were the day we
sailed. That was proved by the tar
get practice at Magdalent Bay and
the records of that practice, which
are most satisfactory, will show It"
CARNEGIE GIVES $5,000,000.
Increases Fund to Pension University
Professors.
New York, April 6. Announce
ment has been made that Andrew
Carnegie would add to the fund of
the Carnegie Foundation whatever
sum might be necessary to Include as
pension beneflcaries eligible profes
sors of state universities.
No provision was made for this
class of educators in the original gift,
for the reason stated by Mr. Carne
gie at the time that the donor
thought tt possible that such Institu
tions might prefer that their rela
tions should continue exclusively
with the state from which their chief
support was derived.
It was found that the earnings of
the original tund of $10,000,000
were exhausted through the outlay
already planned and that, if facul
ties of all state universities were to
be benefited an additional $5,000,000
would be necessary. Mr. Carnegie
stated that he would give the amount
required.

Macsutay's Almost Superhuman Gift
For Absorbing Literature.

umes read ly Lurd Mueuulay In a pe
riod of thirteen mouths, during whirl,

ciul duties ax one of the members of
the supreme council of India. "1 have

friend; "Sophocles twice, Euripides
once, Ptndur twice, Calllmachus, Ap
pollouius lthodlus, Quint us Calaber,
Theocritus twice, Herodotus, Thucydi-
des, almost all Xenophon's works, al-
most all Plato, Aristotle's 'Politics' and

Livy. Vellelus Paterculns, Sulfas t, Cae
sar and lastly Cicero. I have indeed a
Utile Cicero left, but I shall finish him
in a few days. I am now deep in Aria
top hones and Lucian."
Manifestly Macaulay had an almost
superhuman gift for reading. Trevel
yan said of him: "Macaulay' s extraor
dinary faculty of assimilating printed
matter at first sight remained the same
through life. To the end he read books
faster than other people skimmed
them and skimmed them as fast as
any one else would turn the leaves.
And this speed was not In his case ob
tained at the expense of accuracy."
Balzac's ability to take In at a glance
half a dozen or more liues of a page Is
a well known incident of literature,
and the Frenchman got all the meau
Inpj and the shades of meaning from
the page. Bullae was not a systematic
reader and boasted that he never read
a book through. But he, too, had the
power of "asslmiltttliig printed mat
ter." M. Brunetlere says that Balzac's
capacity for absorbing knowledge as
well as learning ls not to be judged at
all by the standards of ordinury men.
The same principle incidentally ls the
sufficient answer to those who doubt
that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare
because there Is proof that be wan
never a student
Doubtless these who have been men
tloned were exceptional readers, or.
rather, derourers of books. But their
example Is Interesting not because It
exceptional, but for the reason that
Industry In reading is really not ex
ceptlonal. The bibliographers attach
lng to meritorious works of history at
test stupendous research stupendous
to the man who Is content to merely
"do" the magazine. Tbe learned per
son who occasionally advises that a
reading of Shakespeare and the Bible
"is enough" has doubtless himself
read wisely.
Even a cursory surrey of the cabeet
convtncea that reading and Its amount
depend upon one's temperament tod
habit and has nothing whatever to do
with time. Kansas City Star.
ENGLISH RED TAPE.'
War Office Methods and the Test of a
Mountain Gun.
The story that a gun of marvelous
possibilities Invented in England may
be sold abroad owing to tbe apathy of
the powers that be is not altogether
surprising.
Whitworth refused Napoleon III.'s
offer of $50,000 a year for life to go to
Paris and manufacture his cannon for
the French army, but perhaps our war
office was not bo faddy then as now.
Some little time ago a new gun for
hill fighting was offered and was seut
out to India to be tried. It was drag
ged up Bteep hills, rushed down rocky
defiles, left for a week at a time in
mountain torrents in fact, submitted
to all the tests which a veteran officer
accustomed to war with the hill tribes
could suggest
The report was satisfactory in every
respect, but a war office genius bland
ly asked If the gun had been dropped
down a precipice. It had not
The war office was horrified and
amazed at the neglect of so elementary
a teat The gun was now dropped down
a precipice with the Inevitable result
its internals were irremediably dam
aged. How was It possible, the war office
asked, to accept such a weapon? And
the army of India was left to potter
along with obsolete weapons because
this new arm would not stand impos
sible tests. London Sketch.
