Headquarter for Dry Oocds BOMB IN CAMP OF CONSERVATIVES Chamberlain's Family Profit by Admiralty Contracts. 250 AMERICAN LAUNDRIES Will Be Establishes" la loidon-Bcielor Lerd Llssdsfl Grieved by A o son see meat of Birth of Child ta Countess Llaadatf. LONDON. Sept. 22. The political campaign has commenced in earnest. Only another week remains before the polling begins, and it will be only a little over five weeks before the new parlia ment assembles. That it will be a conservative body Is a foregone conclusion. Mr. Herbert Gladstone admits that it is quite im possible to win over the 160 seats neces sary to give them a victory. Thus from the outset the election loses Its interest, practically resolving itself Into an op portunity for politicians on both sides to air their views and to discuss the momentous issues of last year untram melled by the conventionalities of St. Stephens. This outbreak of oratory Judged from the Initial stages promises to develop no new or starring facts. The Conser vatives confine their energies to a de fense of the war In South Africa and of its management while the Liberals attempt tc Ignore it. concentrating their attacks upon the failure of the Conser vatives to fulfill their promises of ben eficial home legislation. Though this Is officially the Liberals' main plank, the division of their ranks over the war Is so great that It Is Im possible to keep all the candidates In line. Thus while Sir Edward Gray and the Right Hon. H. H. Asqulth and oth ers are telling the voters that it Is useless to discuss the war and are ad mitting the annexation of the Boer republics as the only logical outcome, Mr. Morley and other well-known mem bers of the party are telling them that the war was unnecessary and that the annexation of the republics Is a blot upon England's fair name. On one point, however, the Liberals all unite, and that point is the unfair ness of Lord Salisbury In bringing about a dissolution at the present mo ment when tha register of 1896 Is ex ' plring, so that thus all who were not registered over two years ago are dis franchised. The new register comes Into force In February. Thousands are affected and the Liberals maintain that Lord Salisbury's action is unconstitu tional. On the other hand, tha Con servatives claim that Lord Salisbury acted fairly, as had he waited until after February he would have the un doubted advantage of the votes of sol diers returning from South Africa. In their wrath that the election was precipitated with so little warning, the Liberals are not alone. Business men regardless of party are furious over the disintegration of trade, which al ways accompanies election contests. Publishers, for Instance, after a wretch ed year, seeing the war In South Africa ending and affairs in China becoming more quiet, made all preparations for a IE-GLASS of Baldwin's Celery Soda curat headache at ono.

Just as they were be ginning to put books out, the an nouncement of the dissolution of par liament came like a thunder clap, spoil ing all their prospects. The stock ex change on the same grounds has a great srlevance against Lord Salisbury, as it will be well into December before the public can be expected to take a keen Interest In stocks. The question of home rule except In Ireland Is scarcely mentioned. Mr. Her bert Gladstone, who represents West Leeds, advises his constituents to let the matter rest, but the Earl of Sand wich strikes a much franker note in renouncing his adherence to the gov ernment and returning to the ranks of the Liberals because "home rule" Is dead. S A miniature bomb has been thrown into the Conservative camp by the Liberal Morning Leader, which pub lishes a lengthy story showing that the wife, sons and daughter of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain hold almost all the shares of the firm of Hskir.s Sons, contractors to the admiralty. Among the wins holding large amounts of the stock is Mr. J. A. Chamberlain (the eldest son). who Is a civil lord of the admiralty To put wore complexion on the matter It is pointed out that there are no Hoskins now connected with the busi ness, which Is practically a family con cern and apparently prosperous. The only answer so far vouschafed to the accusations Is a letter from Mr. Cham berlain's secretary saving that the min ister Is not disposed to "notice cowardly Insinuation contained In an Indirect charge." S W W Rumors assign the war ministry to Mr, Chamberlain In the next cabinet, the supposition being that the Marquis of Lansdowne will retire and also that Mr. Chamberlain will then have Lord Roberts as i'ommander-In-chIef and Lord Kitchener as adjutant-general. TSarl Halsbury, the lord high chancel lor; Earl Cadogan. lord lieutenant of Ireland; Viscount Cross, the lord of the privy seal and Mr. William Court Cully, the speaker of the house of com mons are all said to be likely to ie- tire. The controversy on the relative mer its of the British and American bag gage systems has been revived by the complaints of trans-Atlantic visitors who have lost trunks in England. These In turn have called forth protests against the adoption of the check sys tem. An Englishman who has visited America writes to the Pall Mall Ga zette giving details of his checks, the delay and the allr-ged Impossibility of obtaining compensation, declaring the Americans tolerate any system how ever complicated so long as it has the appearance of being buslness-llfte. Most of the detractors of the check system miss a point by devoting their argu ments against the delay In delivering baggage aft?r its arrival. It !s pos sible that the correspondence may ac celerate the adoption of some form of American system for. partly through Ignorance and partly through the de fects of the English system, no end of trouble and expanse Is undergone bv the thousan-ls who yearly cross the Atlantic, through loss of baggage. Another American Inovatlon will shortly appear In London in the shape of 2'0 laundries run by American em ployes and with American machinery. : How greatly the British government profits by death can be Judged by the returns of the estat? duties for 1893 1000. Just issued. They show that near ly 14,000,000 pounds were added to the excheiu;r from this cause. The total sum bequeathed by 65,431 persons amounted to over -292,000.000 or half the national debt. Twelve million ac counts paid tolls to the amount of 2,000,006. Lord Llandaff Is airing a curious grievance. The advertisement columns recently contained the announcement of the birth of a child to the Countess of Llandaff. As Lord Llandaff is a bachelor (he was born in 1S62 and was home secretary from 1SS6 to 1S92, the announcement caused him gome annoy ance and mystification, which was on ly explained by the fact that a child was born to the wife of a man named Matthew who two years ago announced his Intentlcn of assuming the title of Ear) Llandaff. This announcem?nt ap pears to be his only qualification for the peerage. HURRICANE AT SPOKANE. SFOKAXE, Sept. 22.-One of the worst wind storms in the history of this section was experienced today.

Strange Mental Lapse of a New York Undertaker. NEW YORK, Sept. 22. P. Charles Murphy, a New York undertaker and son of Felix Murphy, ex-assemblyman of the second district. New Tork, has been wandering aimlessly over the country since early In July. Yesterday he appeared at police headquarters attired In overalls and Jumper, his hands calloused from hard work, and asked to have his wife com municated with and told of his condi tion. He remembered nothing since the Fourth of July, which he spent in New York, until he suddenly realised whilo Kin-illinE along the streets of Denver, that he was In a strange city. He attributes his mental lapse to excessive use of patent bitters prescrlb ed by a physician as a tonic. LORD ROBERTS' RETURN. Cape Town Is Preparing a Great Wel come for Him as He Starts Homeward. NEW YORK. Sept. 22. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says; "When and how Lord Roberts will return frcm South Africa depends up on the views of the veteran field mar shal himself and the course of events. That Is the Impression the Telegraph representative gained as a result of a visit to the war office. None of the officials would confirm the statement that he is coming home within a month. Cape Town, however, is already preparing a great welcome for him, and It Is believed that he will salt for England shortly." MUTINY ON TRANSPORT.
