:P_ ROSEBERY DSES PEN Manifesto on the Divisions Among Liberals. GREAT BRITAIN FACES A CRISIS MI Contend That This Is an Impossi ble Attitude and Spells Impotence." London, July 17.—Lord Rosebery has Issued a manifesto on the divisions in the liberal party. It is contained in a letter to the City Liberal club, wbioh had in vited him to deliver an address. He disclaims any desire to re-enter poli tics, but speaks out "under the remark able charter" agreed upon by liberal mem bers of the house of commons of "hearty and undisputed allegiance to the leader and complete liberty of action to dissent ■with' regard to one vital question before the country." The liberal party can become a power, he continues, only when it shall have made up its mind on the imperial questions, "which are at this moment embodied in the war." After a short mention of the "empire's rally to the iwar," he discusses the liberal party. "Wbat is the liberal party?" he asks. Neutrality and an open mind? Now I contend that this is an impossible atti tude and spells impotence. No party can exist on such conditions." He declares that the difference would not cease to operate when the war is over, because "statesmen who disasso ciate themselves from a nation in a great national question, such as the war in which -we all strive to suffer together, dis associate themselves for much longer than they think." He considers that the severance is a "sincere, fundamental and incurable an tagonism of principle with regard to the empire at large and our consequent pol icy." As there is this "honest and ir reconcilable difference of opinion on ques tions of the first importance," he can see no favorable issue. Lord Ro3ebery concludes with a gloomy touch. "It Is a matter of sorrow and anxiety," he says, "to see a weak govern ment faced by a weaker opposition at a Juncture of foreign hostility and interna tional competition which needs all the vigilance, power and ability at our com mand." He believes that Great Britain is at a crisis which may have unlimited effects upon its future. Great Lake Trip*, Cool and Pleasant.

Onffroy and the men who are associated with him in the Pacific coast salmon conubine will leave New York for Portland on July 20. They will immediately close up the deal with the Puget Sound and Alaska plants, which have voted to go into the trust. New York lawyers are passing on the titles of the Puget Sound plants. A local trust company will report on the titles of the Alaska properties. Ever since Onffroy undertook to form the trust there has been much speculation as to who were his fi nancial backers. It is learned from excel lent authority that the main men are Charles S. Flint, th/head of the rubber trust, and Richard Delafield, J. P. Morgan and Seligman Bros., the New York bank ers. Onffroy's plan as now understood is to divide the fishing regions into districts, each to have a manager or managing di rector. Now York, July 17. —The salmon com bination which has been food for rumor and counter rumor for several weeks, is now an assured fact, and to-day it will be incorporated under the laws of New Jer sey. It will be called the Pacific Packing and Navigation company, and its capital Btock is $32,000,000, half of which will re main in the treasury for the purchase of additional plants and the erection of new ones. .

MONET AND WATCHES ARE GONE Some of the Distressing Results of Pay Day Postponed and Can teen Aholliihed. Special to The Journal. Chicago, July 17.—When Secretary of War Root reaches Fort Sheridan next Saturday he will find that poverty and the pawnbrokers have struck the post. Loose change and watches are scarce among the soldiers of the Twenty-ninth infantry. A week and a half ago was pay day, but the government held up the money and now what little cash the sa loons left the men at the close of the celebration that followed the paymaster's June visit has disappeared. The saloon keepers have refused credit and the men have taken to pawning. The loan shark, too, is after the soldiers. Silver watches are bringing an even dollar in the saloons when placed in pawn, and a half dollar more when sold. Gold watches are valued at twice that sum, and there hardly is a saloonkeeper in Highwood who has not a quantity large enough to stock a store. Super flous clothing has changed hands, and the men. have gone so far as to sell their blankets and government goods, which the law prohibits, thus inviting court martial and punishment for theft. "The trouble is that we cannot get beer and tobacco at the canteen," said Private White of Company D. "This .makes us go to the saloons, and we have parted with all our cash. We not com plain, for that would be mutiny; yet if pay day does not come soon there will hardly be a dollar left in the camp. The loan sharks are bombarding us with let ters, and many of them have come out here and offered terms that some of them found impossible to refuse." "It is hard on the men," said Colonel Van Home, "but I think they will be paid next Tuesday or Wednesday. It must be done early in the week, and many of the boys will get a fair wage this month. In this way the suspension of the canteen is still causing us trouble, but I think, from all appearances, thas the day has about gone by when a lot of cackling women can step in and cause such trouble. Of course, the men are suffering, but we cannot help it." Twice Each Week Is offered an opportunity to visit Mack inac Island, that cool and beautiful sum mer resort of the lakes.

Rea Bros. & Co., Minneapolis. Plans for a big permanent auditorium are taking shape in something more than talk. Herewith is presented diagrams embodying the ideas of A. M. Shuey, the original having be«*n prepared by Kees & Colburn and having been indorsed by the Commercial Club at its meeting last evening. One of the great questions to be con sidered in connection with such a plan as that proposed is that of transportation. In this connection it has been suggested that a loop could be run around the building, connecting with the Central avenue line, and giving room for extra cars on etreets not used largely for traffic, thereby insuring the prompt handling of large crowds. Coning back to the hall proper, the main idea is to so construct the hall that it may meet the needs or requirements of all sorts of entertainments, thereby bringing it into frequent and general de mand. First, as a convention hall it must fill the bill for all sorts of conventions, large and small. The present art gallery con sisting of two floors, provides space for numerous large rooms for committees, etc., connected with convention work, for retiring rooms for artists, or for choruses and orchestras in concerts and operas. About two-thirda of the main building is given to the grand auditorium. The balance of the main building is to be held for future uses as may be found neces sary or advisable. This space consists of three floors each 100x260 feet, and amply provides for any and all possible uses. The Auditorium. The auditorium, according to the plan, is 180x260 feet in size, and from 65 to 70 feet high, without a single post or column to obstruct the view. The main floor is but one step above the sidewalk. The main entrance to the building opens into a grand foyer, extending around the en tire hall and opening into the auditorium on each of its four sides through twelve foot doors, the foyer occupying the space under the grand circle of balcony seats. On both Main and Bank streets a large number of exits open directly from the foyer to the sidewalk. The balcony seats are reached by numerous broad stairways from the foyer, and the gallery seats by stairways from the outside of the build ing. The main entrance to the foyer Is where the main entrance to the building is now. The arena occupies the center of the hall, 100x150 feet in size, the floor being level and cemented on the ground. This floor is surrounded by an enamel brick wall four feet high, on the top of which stands the rail for a series of boxes, seating 600, encircling the arena. Immediately back of the boxes will be gin the rise of the balcony seats forming a great ampitheater to accommodate 5,000 people. - "TW The Stage.
