VOLUME LXXVIII.--NO. 24.
ROSEBERY TO RESIGN.
This Determination Has
Been Officially An
nounced.
SALISBURY TO SUCCEED.
He Will Be Entrusted by the
. Queen With the Formation
of a Ministry.
WILL DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT.
The New Cabinet to Consist of
Liberal-Unionists and Con
servatives.
LONDON, June 23.— 1t is officially an
nounced that the Rosebery Government
will resign; that Lord Salisbury will be
summoned by the Queen to form a Minis
try ,',and that his Cabinet will proceed with
the routine business of the House, obtain
provisional supplies and then dissolve Par
' liament. It is expected that the elections
will take place the 10th of July.
The second meeting of the Cabinet yes
terday began at 4 r. M. and lasted until
' 4 :50. The meeting was held to decide
whether the Government should resign or
dissolve Parliament. It was decided to re
' sign.
After dinner, at Windsor Castle last
night, Lord Rosebery had a long private
audience with the Queen and communi
cated to her the decision arrived at by the
Government. The length of the Cabinet's
deliberations was due to the attitude of
Herbert Asquith, the Home Secretary, and
John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
who strongly opposed any step involving
either resignation or dissolution. They
argued that in view of the stage of the de
bates on the Welsh disestablishment and
the Irish land bills the Government ought
to pass both of them.
William O'Brien, who, until a few days
ago, represented Cork City in the anti-Par
nellite interest, but who was compelled to
retire from the House, owing to his having
been declared a bankrupt, visited Downing
street and urged that it was the imperative
duty of the Government to pass the Irish
land bill.
. All the Ministers, with the exception of
Premier Rosebery, remained in town over
Sunday. Messrs. Thomas E. Ellis, first
Liberal whip; George C. Leveson-Gower
and Ronald C. Munroe-Ferguson directed
business at the Liberal whips' office during
the forenoon. They engaged in the prep
aration of electoral lists. The Liberal cen
tral offices were at once opened. Prime
; Minister -Rosebery this morning walked;
unattended to the 8 o'clock service at St.
George's chapel, Windsor Castle. After
breakfast he strolled through the castle
grounds. At 11 he went to the Frogmore
royal mausoleum with the royal family,
and afterward bad an audience with the
Queen. He then had luncheon, . after
which he was driven to the station, where
he took a train for London. Arrived at
the Paddington station, he took a carriage
and drove to his official residence in Down
ing street. Here he found waiting for him
Lord Tweedmouth, Lord of the Privy Seal
and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster,
and Arnold Morley, Pastmaster-General.
Mr. Asquith arrived soon after Lord Rose
bery. The quartet conferred until 6:45,
after which the decision was first officially
made known.
• Of course nothing yet is definitely known
as to who will be selected by Lord Salis
bury for ministerial and other positions.
Complete harmony prevails between the
Liberal-Unionists and the Conservatives,
as was recently evidenced by the speeches
at the Conservative banquet by Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain, the Liberal - Unionist
leader, and others. The rumor of dissen
sions between the two parties were then
effectually laid, and it was predicted that
the: Liberal-Unionists and Conservatives
would be finally , merged into one great
National party. It is generally supposed
that Mr. Chamberlain will have a position
in the Salisbury Cabinet, but what his
office will be is purely a matter of conjec
ture as yet.
The Central News is authority for the
statement that Rosebery, while at Wind
sor Castle.tendered the resignation of him
self and colleagues to the Queen, who ac
cepted them. Her Majesty has sent for
Lord Salisbury, who will proceed to
Windsor Castle to-morrow, when he will
,be entrusted with the formation of a Min
istry.
Lord Rosebery did not arrive at Down
ing street until 6:20 o'clock, and about half
an hour later the fact became known that
the action of ' the House of Commons on
Friday accepting the motion of Mr. Brod
erick to • reduce by £100 the salary of :■ H.
Campbell-Bannermann, Secretary of ; State
for War, a motion made solely for the pur
pose of calling the attention of the House
to anfalleged deficiency in the small arms
and ammunition stores, had resulted in
the overthrow of the Liberal Ministry.
It is charged by some of the supporters
of the Government that Mr. Broderick's
motion was made with the knowledge of
Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour, and that
it was made at a time when the Govern
ment was napping; in other words, that
the opposition sprung a trick on the Lib
erals and by a majority of seven votes up
set the Government.
Some of the Unionists strenuously deny
this and claim the .vote was only the cul
mination of ; the dissatisfaction existing
against the administration of the 7,'ar
Office. However .the case may be, it is
ertain that the Government met defeat in
an entirely unsuspected momentand man
ner, * after successfully / tiding itself "over
arises when defeat would have hardly been
surprising. It is stated that in ; his inter-*
view with the Queen Lord Rosebery, after
informing her as to the status; of ". affairs,
advised her to summon Lord Salisbury to
form a Ministry.
Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Bigge, an as
sistant private secretary to the - Queen,
to-day conveyed her Majesty's: summons
to Hatfield House, Lord Salisbury's \ resi
dence :in Hertfordshire." Lord Salisbury
will obtain the views of the Duke of Dev
onshire, the Liberal-Unionist leader in the
House of Lords, before he goes to Windsor
y-morrow.
Mr. Chamberlain had an interview with
The San Francisco Call.
the Duke of Devonshire on Saturday, and
afterward Mr. Chamberlain received visits
from several of his Liberal-Unionist fol
lowers. It is not doubted that a joint
Ministry will be formed of Liberal-
Unionists and Conservatives and that it
will be called a Unionist Government.
When it became known in the clubs this
evening that Lord Salisbury had been
summoned by the Queen, it was said that
he would not consent" to form a Ministry
with the present House of Commons and
that he would recommend the Queen to
dissolve Parliament. The Unionist rank
and file advise a prompt appeal to the
country. They believe that they will be
able to maintain a majority of eighty in
the next Parliament. They are now very
enthusiastic and sanguine.
Following are the members of the retir
ing Ministry: Lord Rosebery, Prime Min
ister and First Lord of the Treasury and
Lord President of the Council; Lord" Her
schel. Lord High Chancellor; Right Hon.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Chancellor
of the Exchequer; Lord Tweedmouth,
Lord Privy Seal and Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster; Earl 'of Kimberly,
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs;
Right Hon. Herbert Asquith, Secretary of
State for Home Affairs; Marquis of Ripon,
Secretary of State for the Colonies; Right
Hon. H. Campbell-Bannermann, Secretary
of State for War; Right Hon. Henry
Fowler, Secretary of State for India Earl
Spencer, First Lord of the Admiralty;
Right Hon. James Brice, President of the
Board of Trade; Right Hon. A. H. Dyke-
Acland, Vice-President Committee of
Council; Right Hon. George Shaw-Lefevre,
President of the Local Government Board ;
Right Hon. John Morley, Chief Secretary
for Ireland ; Right Hon. Sir George Trevel
yan. Secretary for Scotland ; Right Hon.
Arnold Morley, Postmaster-General.
This Ministry, except Lord Rosebery as
Prime Minister, and the Earl of Kimberly
as Foreign Minister, was formed by Mr.
Gladstone .in August, 1892, when he be
came Prime Minister for the fourth time.
During Mr. Gladstone's stay at Biarritz
in February, 1894, the Pall Mall Gazette,
Wm. Waldorf Astor's paper, announced his
retirement from office, but the report was
denied, though in very guarded terms. On
March 1, 1894, Mr. Gladstone made his last
speech in the House of Commons as Prime
Minister. The next day his resignation
was made public, the chief cause of his re
tirement being the discovery that he was
suffering from cataract in both eyes. On
March 3 he had an audience with the
Queen and gave up the seals of office.
Lord Rosebery held the post of Foreign
Secretary in Mr. Gladstone's Cabinet and
succeeded him as Prime Minister. Two or
three changes were then . made in the Cab
inet by the transposition of members to'
different offices.
It has been often stated and as often
denied that Lord Rosebery was anxious to
drop the cares of office, and it was thought
probable by many persons that he would
retire during or after his recent illness,
without waiting for an adverse vote in . the
House of Commons, It was also said that
there, was considerable .friction^between
Lord Rosebery and ,Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, who had at one time been' re
garded by many qp Mr. Gladstone's legiti
mate successor in the J premiership. | With
Lord Rosebery as Premier, • the > anomaly
was presented of a peer as the head ,of a
Government party pledged in a measure to
mend or end the House of Lords with its
inherited legislative rights. .
Lord Rosebery's retirement again calls
to mind the prediction he is said to have
made concerning himself when he was a
schoolboy. He then declared that he
would marry the richest; heiress 'in Eng
land, win the derby and become Prime
Minister. He in 1878 married Hannah,
(deceased 1890), only daughter of the late
Meyer de Rothschild, who was then the
richest heiress in the country ; in 1894 he
won the Derby with his horse Ladas, and
repeated the victory this year with Sir
Visto, and filled the office of Prime Minis
ter for a little over fifteen months. Lord
Rosebery is only 48 years old.
The Court Circular contains the , follow
ing: "The Earl of Rosebery, first Lord of
the Treasury and Premier of the Council,
arrived at Windsor Castle Saturday and
offered his resignation to her Majesty, by
whom it was accepted."
Speaking to his constituents in Batter
sea last night John Burns,, socialist mem
ber of the House of Commons, urged the
Government to stick to the work it had
undertaken to perform and not to go to
the country until a vote of confidence was
carried again. :**\
PRESS OPINIONS.
Views of the London Papers on the Cabi
net Crisis.
LONDON, Esq., June 23.— The Daily
News, the organ of the Liberals, will
say that the Queen accepted Lord
Rosebery's resignation .. as ; she did
that of Mr. . Gladstone, without
the expression of reluctance with which
she favored Lord Salisbury when he retired
from office. Lord Rosebery and ; Sir Wil
liam. Vernon Harcourt strongly favored
resigning at the Cabinet council. /
The Prime Minister considered that the
Government, twhich was weakened by its
defeat in the House of Commons, was not
well qualified to deal with foreign affairs.
When Sir William Vernon Harcourt an
nounces the resignation iof the Govern
ment in the House of Commons Monday
afternoon he will possibly move that the
House adjourn for a few days.
The Daily News declares that the Lib
erals will not be caught napping if Lord
Salisbury resolves upon a quick dissolution
of the House. The officers of the National
Liberal Federation have foreseen a possi
ble election this summer. Nevertheless
the Daily News urges that every constitu
ency without a Liberal condidate should
immediately select the best man they can
find. The \ paper declares that the crisis
was not so sudden as it seemed. A Gov
ernment at the mercy of sudden accident
and an . unexpected catastrophe cannot
conduct business with credit to itself or
advantage to the country.
The Morning .Post, in its comments to
morrow on the resignation of the Rose
bery Cabinet, will say ':;•■
"Thus falls the rump of the Gladstone
administration. Where is the revolution

Lords?"

SAN FRANCISCO, MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 24, 1895.
A PLAGUE OF FEVER
It Proves a Puzzle to
the Surgeons of the
Navy.
MANY MEN AFFLICTED.
The Trouble Confined to the
Sailors of the Cruiser
Chicago.
IT RESISTS ALL TREATMENT.
One of the Victims Gives a Woeful
Account of His Aches and
Pains.
NEW YORK. N. V., June 23.-The sur
geons at the Navy Hospital in Brooklyn
are puzzled by a peculiar malady prevalent
among the sailors who served on the
Chicago during her last cruise. There are
at the present time, according to the
statement of Surgeon in Chief Dr. Edward
S. Bogert. about twenty of the Chicago's
crew laid up in the Navy Hospital, and a
half dozen or more * are at the Norfolk
Hospital, where they were taken from the
Amphitrite to which many of the Chicago's
crew were transferred after the latter vessel
went out of commission.
Although some of the men in Brooklyn
have been under treatment for six or seven
weeks their condition has been but little
changed. The same high temperature,
giddiness and rheumatic pains in the
joints which characterized the disease
when first contracted are still experienced
by the victims, and little progress seems
to have been made in contending with the
illness.
Dr. Bogert said to-day that the disease
with which the sailors are suffering is well
known in the countries bordering on the
Mediterranean Sea and that there is no
mystery about it. He admitted, however,
that they had not as yet made a satisfac
tory diagnosis of the disease and that the
patients did not seem to improve per
ceptibly.
The sailors take a different view of the
case. They say the doctors are puzzled
and that they have no name for the mal
ady nor any satisfactory treatment.
The certificates which are sent with each
patient to the hospital are supposed to
state the name of the disease with which
he is suffering. In the case of the Chicago
men the disease is put down under various
names. The certificates of some named it
typhoid fever, ' but the treatment in these
cases was not that which is used in typhoid'
fever cases. -:• v "■-.. \ .-; ~ l £--'-*!z' il .{'<;-?-~zi \ ":\
rT One; of the most dangerous . features of
the "Chicago fever," as it is termed in the
Navy Hospital, is an excessively high tem
perature. One i sailor said to-day that his
temperature had run up to 104 degrees and
that the temperature of the patient in the
adjoining cot had ' reached 106 degrees.
The sunstroke treatment is used in lower
ing the temperature. Ice is used in every
conceivable shape, a plunge in an ice bath
being the most effective and most expe
ditious relief. :
A representative of the United Press vis
ited the hospital to-day and found a bench
on the terrace occupied by several of the
Chicago's crew who looked pictures of woe.
"Chicago fever?" said one, a stout, good
looking tar, who went by the name of
Ham. "Well, I should say so. I know a
thing or two about the Chicago fever. I
have had rheumatism, yellow fever, small
pox and all the rest of 'em, but this lays a
man out quicker than any of 'em." His
companions showed their assent by a nod
of the head, and Ham proceeded to dilate
on the peculiarities of their mutual enemy.
"We got it," he said, "while lying off the
port of Algiers. There was no tide there
and a stiff land breeze all the time. * ; " v
"We lay there seven weeks waiting for
the San Francisco to come and relieve us,
and during all the time there was a big
sewer ■ emptied right off midship, and I
guess that was not over healthy for the
crew. Most of the men began to keel over
one by one until there were sixty or seventy
on the sick list. We left Algiers in Feb
ruary and went to the rock where some of
the men went under. When we got in
port here most of the crew went on the
Vermont and some went on the Amphi
trite at Norfolk and they are laid up at the
hospital now."
"The disease first makes you feel light
headed, and then comes the bloomin'
fever, and after that terrible pains in k the
joints. I have been here seven weeks," he
added, ,'as he slowly and carefully ■ lifted
one leg over the other, "and the only thing
they have given me for these pains is some
kind of powder which don't seem to do no
good." - ' %-
The sailor asserted that he had just re
ceived a letter from a mate in the hospital
at Norfolk, saying that two of the strong
est men in the crew of the Chicago had
died since being -admitted there, and it
was believed that the fever had killed
them.
Dr. Bogert said to-day that the fever
was not so malignant as that.
"What do you call the fever?" he was
asked. ! <•■■
"Well, it is generally called remittent
fever,", said the doctor. But the truth is
that it is not remittent fever. It may be
what is called Mediterranean, Malta or
Rock fever, but we have not diagnosed it
satisfactorily as yet. . None of the ' men
have died from' it here up to this time, but
we do not know ; what may happen. One
peculiarity about it is that the germs which
were inhaled at Algiers do not seem to
take effect often times until ; months after
ward. It is J not a contagious disease, but
one of long duration and quite troublesome
to combat." !
HAULED DOWN THE FLAG.

: SYRACUSE, N. V., June 23.— A special
from ' Suspension Bridge, N. V. ; , .' to the

. The contractors building the new trolley
line in the gorge on the American bank of

crowds of Italian laborers here, who live
in camps along the - bank in shanties, over

flag, very high. - This has been an eyesore i
to some lovers of "Old Glory," and at

PAID TO COMMIT MURDER.

Make a Confession.
LEXINGTON, Ky., June To-mor
row, when his cousin arrives, "Bad Tom"
Smith, who is tp be hanged at Jackson
Friday, is expected to make a confession.
Smith almost . broke down when he was
told that Friday was the day on which he
was to pay the death penalty for the mur
der of Dr. Rader, at the home of Catherine
McQuinn ; last winter, but to-day said he
would not tell the story of the killing until
the arrival bf 'his cousin. Sufficient in
formation was got from Smith to warrant
the statement that when the confession is
made it will ' create a sensation, inasmuch
as it will involve men heretofore not men
tioned in the affair. Smith, it seems, was
simply fulfilling a contract for which he
got pay in money.

IT WAS A "DRY" DAY.

EXCISE LAW ENFORCED.
... ———
Saloons and Hotel Buffets
Strictly Guarded by
the Police.
ROOSEVELT MEANS BUSINESS.
Places That Had Not Been Closed
a Minute In Years Forced
to Submit.
NEW YORK, N. V., June 23.— Those
persons who have doubted the sincerity of
Police Commissioner Roosevelt in declar
ing that he , would not only close every
saloon in New York on Sunday, in com
pliance with the excise law, but would also
shut up the buffet-rooms in the various
hotels, had ample demonstration of the
earnestness of the new president of the
Police Board to-day.
To say that it was a "dry" Sunday in
New York is only citing an absolute fact.
The oldest i citizen in the metropolis with
bibulous habits,' which are generally as
much in evidence on Sunday as other days
in the week, after making the usual rounds
pronounce the day to be a record-breaker.
Seldom in the history of Manhattan Island,
so say these, has such a condition of affairs
been known to exist upon a Sunday.
When Police ' Commissioner Roosevelt
said some days ago that he intended to put
a stop. to the sale of liquors in the buffet
rooms in the large hotels, even if he had to
break a few captains in attaining this end,
the public, and especially the public who
live in or frequent these large hotels and
have heard just such threats many times
before, smiled incredulously and gave the
matter little thought. To the members
of the t police < force, and especially the
police captains, the word of Commissioner
Roosevelt had more significance.
The blue-coated and gold-striped mem
bers of the police force have at last awak
ened to the fact that the new president is
not a man to be trifled with, and that when
he makes an assertion he means every
word of it. The result was that to-day all
hotel proprietors were decisively informed
that they must shut up or undergo arrest.
The measures adopted for the enforce
ment of the excise law by the police, while
they did not succeed in stopping all sales
of i intoxicating drinks, came so near ac
complishing it that the day was the dryest
of any known for a long time*. ■'*" "•'" k .•* .•'. . '*";
The plan of stationing a policeman at
the side of most of the saloons was fol
lowed as far as possible in most of the
precincts, but as the ' barrooms outnumber
the police force, even were the officers all
on duty at one time, there were many
places left unguarded. "
Along the Bowery and in the streets ad
joining, saloons which have not been
closed a minute in years were strictly
guarded, but ; a little farther along Third
avenue little difficulty was encountered in
getting a drink. The topers of the Bowery,
however, did not know this and their
sufferings were plainly evident as they
went from one to another of their regular
haunts only to have admission refused
them and to be told that no business was
being done. . "!*i .
Down town the tension was nearly as
great and one well-known tavern near the
Brooklyn bridge which for years has ad
mitted its patrons by the front door on
Sunday and during the prohibited hours
of night was tightly barred.
In the crowded East Side sections down
town the enormous number, of saloons
gave the police much trouble in their ef
forts to keep an eye on all of them and to
see that they did not violate the law.
Among the largest, hotels the law was
observed almost to the letter. In the past
when some spasmodic wave of reform has
barred the doors of the saloons the
tippler has always found relief in these
buffet rooms, but it was different
to-day. To be sure the cafes were open,
but there was something in the demeanor
of the white-aproned waiters that told the
story without inquiry. Anything in the
line of food was cheerfully served, but
drinks were not to be had.
At the : Hoffman House, the Holland
House, the Brunswick, the Waldorf and
many of the, other . big . uptown hotels in
the buffet-rooms the chairs were turned
up against the tables and no guests were
visible. " "-'** ~ .*.'-;,' .".;..'-
}. In case a person wished to order a . meal
and some liquid with it, the privilege was
extended. This was largely '.. taken ad
vantage of, and the restaurants did a
rousing business during the day.
Those eating-houses ;up and down
Broadway which are open on Sunday
caught a great deal of the trade that was
turned away from the hotels and were not
molested in the sale of drinks. -
One hotel 'in • upper Broadway did not
heed the new order of things at all. This
hotel has a large open summer garden in
the rear, where meals : and drinks were
served. This garden was well patronized
during the .afternoon and evening and a
steady stream of waiters passed between it
and a "blind" bar, carrying : heavily laden
trays. "; ... _.«'
.; Many guests of the hotels were - told
when they came downstairs in the morn
ing that they could have drinks . served in
their rooms if they so desired, and as a re
sult many at once returned to their apart
ments to secure the morning "bracer."

KILLED BY A MEXICAN.
Murder of a Scotchman by the Man He
Bad Whipped.
-MEXICO CITY, Mkx., June 23.—Ed
ward Stevenson, a young Scotchman 20
years of age, son of a former director o
the Real del Monte Company, an English
mining concern, was killed in a quarrel at
Catorce by Manuel Bustamente, the sta
tion-master at Potreo.
The two men were supping together,
and it is related that Bustamente, who
had the hiccough, became annoyed at a
similar symptom in his companion, whom
he accused of mocking him. High words
followed, aud the two men went outside
and fought. Stevenson repeatedly knocked
his antagonist down.
Bustamente then went inside the house,
got his pistol, went out and shot Steven
son in the back. The wounded man was
left in the road for some time without
medical attendance.
A policeman finally took him to jail, but
his friends were not permitted to see him
until the next day. He died Saturday.
The authorities are said to have been slow
in arresting Bustamente. Stevenson was
unarmed. The British Minister < will re
quest that the local authorities deal
promptly with the case.

PRlfc#^lVE : CENTS.
BATTLE OF LEADERS.
Desperate Contest , Be
tween Pennsylvania
Republicans.
OF NATIONAL INTEREST.
Senator Quay and Chris Magee
Fight Every Inch of
the Ground.
SEEKING THE SENATORSHIP.
Even Presidential Preferences Will
Be Sacrificed to Carry '■'<•; ';'• '■■
Off the Honor.
'■ NEW, YORK , N. V. , Jane 24.— A Wash
ington special says: No political contest
of recent years has attracted greater inter
est in Washington than the one which is
now going on in Pennsylvania between
Senator Quay and Chris Magee.
It is known that before Quay left Wash
ington he regarded the struggle in which
he was to engage as more fertile in possi
bilities than any previous struggle in his
career.
Those members of the Republican party
in the State who challenge his leadership
have fallen in line behind his long-time
opponent, Magee, and hope by dictating
the name of the chairman of the
State Committee to control the organization
preliminary to the election of a United
States Senator to succeed Don Cameron,
with whose present political fortune Quay
is understood to be identified.
Not only the Senatorship, but the com
plexion of the delegates to the National
Republican Convention in 1896, is involved
in this contest, with the curious result
that the names of various presidential
possibilities are being considered as little
on their own account as on account of the
effect which they may have upon the
question of local supremacy.
Magee has been credited with leaning
somewhat toward McKinley and it is re
ported that there is a considerable feeling
among the manufacturers of Pittsburg and
among Republicans generally throughout
the western part of the State favorable to
the ambitions of the aggressive Ohio can
didate.
In order to meet this supposed attitude
of his Pittsburg opponent, Senator Quay
has adopted a characteristically shrewd
device.. Personally Quay . is favorable to
the candidacy of Mr. Reed, and ' believes
that the strongest sentiment among Penn
sylvania Republicans is behind the big
man from Maine.
He is not, however, in a position yet to
declare himself positively for any candi
date and realizes that any serious talk of
other candidates before Speaker Reed has
shown what he can do with the next Re
publican Congress is out of the question.
But in the meantime he is playing for
the control of the Pennsylvania State Com
mittee and the coming Pennsylvania
Legislature, and therefore at his sugges
tion Senators Boise and Penrose, who are
recognized as his lieutenants, have come
out conspicuously in an interview declar
ing that Governor McKinley ought to be
the choice of the Pennsylvania Repub
lican?.
A very prominent Republican, whose
relations with Senator Quay are close, as
sures the correspondent that this inter
view was put out with the direct purpose
of cutting the ground from under Magee.
If by any chance McKinley's strength
should not have been exaggerated the Pen
rose interview helps the Senator in the
way of reaping the benefit from it. If it
should not prevail. Quay's preference still
remains unannounced, and when the time
comes for selecting delegates to the Na
tional Convention, he can consistently
place himself in the van of whatever proves
to be the predominant sentiment among
the Republicans of the State,
