TIE IMPUTE!! LIBERALS
Lack of Leadership Has Sadly
Disorganized the Parry.
MANY LOST OPPORTUNITIES
A Session Heinarkuble for 3Ilnl,ter
lal Ulin.ders and Misdeeds of
Which the Opposition, Heiit by
Factional .Jealousies, Ban Failed
to Take Advantage.
London, Aug- 7--Thc Liberal party "Has
come upon evil days,towing to Its lack of
leadership, and this fact Is recognized
by all the members of the party. A review
of the work done during the session of Par
liament, which closed yesterday, shows
that the parry is completely d!"organized,
and that its opposition to the government
has pract'cally amounted to nothing. The
lack or a vigorous opposition -was not due
to any particular favor by the Salisbury
government, for as a matter of fact the
government has lost much of the support
which landed It in office two years ago
with an enormous majority.
Tlieregrettab'-econdltionoftheLIteralPis
due almost alone to the factional jealousies
In the upper oouncUofthe party. Theorgans
of the Liberals in their summing up today
of the -work of the session aw very out-
epoken. The Ciiroaicle, which publishes a
lengthy article on the subject, fairly repre
sents the feelings of the rauk and file of
the party. Jt points out that Parliament
Is impotent m the absence of -vigorous
public opinion, which -has been markedly
absent of late. The session, it declares, has
been a rmml one for ministerial blunder
and misdeeds, and yet the Liberals hai e
been unable to take advantage of the con
dition of affairs owing to their lack of
competent leaders. The article concludes
thus:
-The joint dictatorship of Lord Salisbury
and Mr. Chamberlain will apparently go on
undisturbed by Parliament until they are
unwise enough to quarrel. Neither the
privileges and traditions of Parliament,
nor the good name of England and her
record as the enemy of oppression and the
friend of freedom signify anj thing just
now, nor will they signify until public
opinion, -winch is latent hut not dead, can
find expression again and gather itself
once more into that resistless force berore
which the strongest dictatorships godown.'
VISITS TO THK CZAR.
Kew-spaper. Discnss Their Political
Significance.
London, Aug. 7--The visits of Emperor
William and President Faure to the Czar
have called forth solemn newspaper ar
ticles magnifying the importance of tlie
events There Is, however, no .popular
Interest In the visits A majority of the
German newspapers say they believe that
the result will be the establishment of cor
dial relations between the Hreibundand the
dual alliance, but this is scarcely possible
so long as France persists in her determina
tion to wir back Alsace-Lorraine-
The French papers entertain no Idea
of entering upor. friendly relations -with
Germans, but they do display 3 signifi
cant tendency to oppose the ascendency
that Russia has over France One paper
declares that If, as a result of the visits.
Russia consents to put her agreement -with
France into writing, It will be only for
the purpose of maintaining German peace
and giving Germany a guarantee that she
will continue to enjoy undisturbed posses
sion or A'sace-Lorraine. It adds that
France sacrifices her ititcrests In tlie East
to Russia, and invites her to help her
eelf to the" French savings and then the
papers ask if glorification of President
Faurc Is adequate compensation for this
A LOVING EMBRACE.

Mattewan, N. Y., Aug 7. -The Fowler
Ca-tfc, a famous old building situated on
the old post road near FJshksll village and
known to all sightseers as'Fow ler's Folly,"
is now a thing of the past. It was de
stroyed by dynamite, bj a gang of work
men under the supervision of Frederick
llaight, Alio lias purchased the property.
Dynamite cartridges were used to destroy
rue building.
In 1810, Prof. Orsen Squire rowler, was
a phrenologist of much note. He was, ex
tremely pccentric, much given to delus
ions, and among his hobbles was the erec
liou on a grand scale of a home for
phrenology. The house just destroyed was
tile result. IIp set out on a lecturing
tour, the funds from which were to be
used In constructing the house. Slowly he
accumulated a fund, and In 184.7 began the.
erection of the, massive building. It -was
built upon solid rook, the- vails being of
concrete and octagou In shapn. In the
center was a large well It took eight
years tor oniplet the structure, it contain
ed eighty-four rooms, all light and with
hfgh ceilings, everything about the house
being equipped hi the best stvle of the day.
The glass-roofed cupola -vas eighty feet
high and from this magnificent views could
be obtained of sixteen towns. After it way
completed Prof. Fowler died. Since then
tlie house has been a place for visitors
and relic seekers.
THIEMANN IN DISGRACE
Statement Made in a Berlin" News
paper to This Effect.
May Not Be Promoted Allegation
That He Made Indiscreet State
ments to a lteporter.
Berlin, Aug. 7. Tlie Staatsburger Zel
tung, an anti-Semitic organ, which i
kept -well informed .by its sympathizers
In Prussian government circles, sheds some
light on the otherwise unaccountable
delay In ex Ambassador to the United
States Tliie'manu's promotion to the fiist
secretaryship in the Imperial treasury
department.
Baron Thielmaun, who was recently
recdiled In great haste fiom the German
embassy In Washington, lost no time in
returning at once to Germany, according
to th's newspaper, and will have to wait
for the confirmation of his promised ap
pointment, not weeks, but months, if not
longer.
Baron Thielmann, just before his resig
nation as ambassador, committed the diplo
matic faux pas of talking too much. He
disavowed his undoubted connection with
the German monetary conference of a few
Tears ago lie cat a slur upon the govern
ment to which he had been accredited by
saying that he would have found th United
States more congenial had it not been for
Congress, and, the paper further toys, he
got mixed up in Pennsjlvania legislative
matters. After closing his diplomatic career
In America in this fashion he neglected to
extricate himself out of the muddle by
dlsa-owing his last compromising newa
paper interview.
The Government has about decided to
shelve him permanently.

Still Believes lu the Excellences of
the Dispensary Law.
Columbia, S. 0.. Aug. 7. Speaking at
the annual encampment of the State
Farmers" Alliance, atTirzah, Senator Till
man vehemently defended the dispensary
law. He had nursed It, fought for it In
the courts and the "Darlington war," and
-would yet get his bill through Congress.
Tlie preachers -who oppose the dispensary,
he said, were in league with rum-sellers
and the devil. They and the devil were
trying to choke the dispensary to death.
If tlie dispensary officials stole, those In
other business also stole.
AN ORIGINAL PACKAGE DECISION.
Serious Blow Dealt the South Caro
lina Dispensary System.
Charleston, S C, Aug. 7 Judge Simon
ton todaj filed an opinion in the United
States circuit court, setting forth what
constitutes an original package. The de
cision says that an original package la
that "dellv ered by the importer to the car
rier at the Initial point of shipment." This
will allow original package stores to bring
in and sell in packages of half pint and
over, and puts them in fair competition w ith
the dispensaries. It is believed that the
State cannot stand competition, and that
the dispensaries must soon close up.

Havana, via Key West, Aug-. 7. Marl
anao, one cf the suburbs of Havana, has
been again attacked by the Insurgents un
der Gen. Adolf o Castillo. The attack was
made on Thursday night, and the fire of
the insurgents on the forts and principal
houses continued from 8 p. m. to 4 a. in.
In the morning of the bame day Gen.
Castillo entered with his forces in the
nelghuorim; town of La Chorrera, close to
Santa Maria del Eosario, which is a few
miles fiom the capital. After a short re
sistance and lu spite of the very strong
fortifications of La Chorrera, the garrison
surrendered and many Spanish soldiers
joined the insurgents.
Gen. Weyler is still at Matanzas. It
is reported that he intends to establish
his headquarters at Colon, Matanzas pro
vince, to prevent more Cuban troops from
Invading the provinces of Havana and
Pinar del Rio.
Jose Loma, a Cuban prisoner, who was
to be shot at Havana, was pardoned one
hour before the time appointed for his
execution.
News from Puerto Principe says that the
combined Spanish forces of the battalions
of P'lerro Rico and Tarragona were badly
defeated last week by the Insurgents under
Gen. Lope Eeclo. The Spauisl. were escort
ing 300 head or cattle to Puerto Principe
city, and all their convoy fell luto the
hands of the Insurgents. They also left
on the field their dead and woundsd.
Another hard engagement is reported
near the Juonro-Moion trocha with the in
suigent troops commanded by Col. Claudlo
Sanchez. The Spanish had twelve killed
and twenty-four wounded.
A Spanish official report says that Major
Domingo Dclmonte, a Cuban insurgentof a
well-kno-'n family, has been killed by the
Spaniards at Matanzas province.
CUBANS GAIN THEIR FREEDOM.
Arrival of Three Well-Known Pa
triot in New York.
New York, Aug. 7. Jose S. DeMedina,
a Cuban lawyer; Juan A. De la Pas, a
student, and RIcardo Landa, a landed
proprietor, were among the passengers who
arrived here yesterday from Gibraltar by
the steamer Ems. After a long banishment
in the Spanish penal colony at Ceuta, on
the northern coast of Africa, these, men
were allowed to fix their residence In
Spain but succeeded in making their es
cape to Gibraltar, where they boarded the
Ems. Honor De Medina said today:
"We have endured much suffering while
in Ceuta, particularly during the first
months of our exile, as Gen. Correa, then
governor of the colony, seemed to take
p'ensure in aggravating our situation. He
made it a rule that Cubans of prominence
aud culture should have as chums men who
were not their equals in society. Dr.
La Ruza, the eminent teacher of penal
law In the University of Havana, was made
to Ehare his bed with an abject, con
temptible negro, the very worst among
the Nannigos, or members of the Illicit
society known In Havana as 'el Nannl-guismo-'
"Fortunately Gen Correa was superseded
by Gen. Leon, a man whose conception of
patriotism did not prevent him from being
humane He is greatly influenced by his
wife, who is a native of Matanzas, and
so the Cubans in Ceuta are not at present
ill treated Dr. Alfredo Zayas, brother
of Gen. Bruno Zayas, has been allowed to
start a grocery store in company with
Arturo Lamas. Dr. La Ruza has an Imita
tion of a drug store, and other exiles are
permitted to pursue their careers and
trades."
LOOKING FOR A FDLTBUSTER.
Customs Officers on the Lookout
lu Bridgeport Harbor.
Bridgeport, Conn., Aug. 7. This morn
ing thoie (s no sign of the alleged Cuban
filibuster which was reported to he in
this vicinity waiting to take on a cargo
of arms and ammunition. All last night
Collector or Customs Goddard and his
deputies were cruising around the harbor
in a tug looking for the vessel reported
as coming this way.
The lcport sent to this city was that
arms had Deen sent to this city from New
Toik, whleh were to be loaded on a
schooner here and towed outin the sound,
there to be transferred to a steamer en
route to Cuba.
United States Marshal Morris, of New
London is here this morning. He has been
at work on the case, but reports no informa
tion gained. His opinion is that the le
ported shipment to this city was only made
to direct attention from some other point
Last night there was a rumor about the
city to the effect that after all the
Government might have been eluded by the
filibustering rarty, from the fact that a
strange crsft had entered the port early
yesterday morning and hastily shipped a
cargo and decamped. The name of the
mysterlou vesssel is said to be the Living
stone. Then was secrecy about tlie
movements of the crew. The vessel arrived
just in tinm to receive the contents of a
large covered wagon. The latter consisted
of a number of boxes, carefully covered.
It is now believed that this vesssel was
connected with the filibustering expedi
tion, and that the authorities at Washing
ton were late in securing information ap
pertaining to it.

with a mishap that threw lum out of
the race. While moving up on the out
side to improve his position, the chain
on his wheel broke, compelling him to re
tire. With Bald out, Kir had 'evnry thing his
own way, romping home a winner in 1 :30.

developed great Epeed, and beat Merteas
out for second place. Loughead did noth

peared the driver whipped up his horse
and dashed down Eleventh street. The
officers gave chase afoot.
Sergt. Dunntgan and Detective Barnes,
who wert at the intersection of Vermont
and Rhode Island avenues, sprang upon
their wheels and sped up Vermont avenue.
It was soon found that the best way to
Intercept the cause of the excitement was
to whel into Twelfth street and make a
dash for' Eleventh street by way of Rhode
Island avenue.
Thltf the sergeant and detective did, and
overhauled the vehicle at the corner of
Eleventh street, and Rhode Island avenue.
When the sergeant and oflicers 1 cached

torpedo boat, Plunger,
glided down the ways of the Columbian

to side, and the plucky fellows on her
superstructure who had volunteered to go
with bur on her rirst plunge clung to tlie
flag masts, which bore the Stars and
Stripes and Navy -'jack.' Several.Iadles
screamed In fright, but after a second or
two that seemed an hour, the bigbteeiridb
slowly righted and rested, with atout a
third or her side above the water.
On a platform erected bald2 the port bow
of the boat stood Miss Ernes:lne Wardwell
and her rather. Col. Wardwell. In her
right hand the young lady held a bottleof
champagne, gayly decorated with ribbons
of the national and Maryland coIok. The
moment the vessel moved she spattered the
bottle against tne bow and sa'd: "I christen
taee Plunger.' Then everything ashore
and afloat in the vicinity that possessed
a steam whi&tle blew it in salute to the
strange new '.-raft.
The tug Mohawk was In waiting In mid
stream and was soon alongside the Plunger
and towod her back to the works. W. O.

and sang the verses of a song he had
specially composed for the occasion. The
first was to tne Plunger, the second to Mr
