BROOKS JSJEATEN, Maden, Gladstonian, Wins the Rsosendale Seat With Plenty to Spare. Victors Rejoice Exceedingly at This Great Advance of the Liberals. Both Sides Agreed That the Rossenciale Result Would Ec Decisive. The English Nobility Is Fear ful That Fife's Wife May Yet Reign. Loxdox, Jan. 23.— An election was held today to fill the parliamentary vacancy in the Rossendalti division caused by the recent elevation to the peerage of Lord Hartington, leader of the Liberal-Unionists party in the if commons, who became Duke of Devonshire on Ibe death of his father. Tlif result of the contest is the elec tion of the Gladstonian candidate, and the almost complete reversal of the vote cast in tiu hist previous election. The voting is announced as fMlows: Maden 6,1 66, Brooks 4,-41. Maden*s ma jority 1,225. In the preceding election tlio vote was: Lord Hartington 5,399. T. New -- : mine ruler) 3,949, Loid Hart ing ton's majority 1,450. Victors Crazed With Joy. The result n\;is not announced until nidnisht. l"it the news that Mr. Maden M eted w.is erected with the most uproarious cheering by his delighted rters. and when the extent of the Liberal victory was learned a scene of the wildest enthusiasm ensued among the t':. - people waiting. Hats and car.es were Hung into the air, and Mr. Maden's partisans cheered and siiouteU until their faces grew Bushed an.i their voices became almost inau iibie t"rn::i i When the crowd had calmed down Bomewbat, Michael Davitt, who had en ergetically assisted in the campaign. a speech. He said that he most ly thanked the electors of Kossen »sage of hope and confi dence conveyed through the election or Mr. Maden, which they had to day sent to the Irish people. The victorious candidate, who has been con fined to his house by illness, was still too sick to venture out today. Many messages of congratulation we're sent to him ou his success. The lameness of the majority obtained by the Glad stonian candidate proved a great sur prise to both the contending parties. A Decisive Contest, Thi-; is looked upon as the most lrn portar.t election in ihe recent history of Sngrlish politics, and has been the most fought in England for many Tears. Both the Conservatives and tlie Liberais have openly admitted that the next election is liable to co as Rossendale goes today. Sir Thomas Brooks, the Unionist candi date, also received the heartiest sup t>ort from the Conservatives. Sir Thomas is the owner of Crawshaw hall, Rawtensiali, and is a popular man in Eossendale. He was, before the Irish question came prominently to the fore In Euehsb politics, a sturdy worker in the Liberal cause. He was made a Laron a short time atro. Mr. Mad en is a member of a famous cotton-spinning firm, a large employer of labor, a good public speaker, and •worth about slo,ooo,ooo at* least. . For - some time past he has been confined to his bed .suffering from grip. On the other hand,'* the Union ist candidate drove about here, there mil everywhere, rallying his forces and drawing out every vole possible. The Liberals also had many carriages, cabs, vans and dog carts at ■work, and the lieutenants of both candi dates distinguished themselves by their feverish activity in this direction. Some Great Work Done. The polling today was most brisk, and the excitement greater than is usually seen at the most important elec tion in Ensiand. Some of the factories actually stopped work in order to enable The hands to itive the whole day to elec tion work, and others only worked till noon. The weather was dull and wet. a fact which was looked ui>on as being against the chances of the Unionist (Conservative; candidate, for in dull, vet weather, it is difficult to prevail upon some of the crusted old Tories to turn out and do their duty at the polls. One of the features of this election was the immense amount of money bet upon the result This led many sharp pro fessional betting men to come to Ros sendale ami work like beavers in their own interests. Michael Davitt was in the thick of the fight, hurrying up the voters at Haslingden. a market town in the Ilossendale division noted for its cot ton factories, coal mines and found, ies. Mr. Davitt, in former years, worked at Haslmgden and is popular with the vorkingmen. FEAIJFUIi OF FIFE. British Nobility Stirred by His Possible Rise. London-, Jan. 23.— Tlie fear that the Duchess of Fife, through a caucatena tion of events, might succeed to the throne, continues to excite the English people, particularly those of the nobil ity and upper classes. A well informed correspondent says that Prince George of Wales. who. through his brother's death, be comes heir presumptive to the throne, will almost immediately be made Duke of Susses, and that his engagement to some princess will be announced before the end of the season. It is earnestly hoped that the very greatest precautions will be taken with recard to the health nf Prince George, for, it is said, he is not gifted with a much stronger consti tution than that possessed by his brother. It was generally understood that, when Princess Louise married the Earl of Fife, whom trie queen after wards created a duke, sire renounced her rights of succession; but it is now known that she did not. In the event of the Duchess of Fife becoming queen the Duke of Fife would, of course, be made prince consort, and the idea of tiis holding that most exalted position is not at all acceptable to the nation. Such a succession might have unfortu nate results. TKE LONDON THEATERS. Beerbohm Tree's "Hamlet"— Gil- Bert Charged With Plagiarism. London-. Jan. 28.— The ordering of the court into mourning because of the death of the Duke of Clarence has had a serious effect upon the theaters. Many persons outside the couit and official circles will observe the mourning: period, with the result that the man agers will probably lose a good round sum of money. On Wednesday, the day of '.lie duke's funeral, the theaters were not opened, and this entailed quite a severe loss to the managers. The poor ness or the attendance in tire best seats at the various performances since then has evidenced that the receipts of the week will enow an important reduction. Without the splendor of the scenery ar.d costumes which characterize tlia staging of productions at Henry Irving's Lyceum theater, "Hamlet," asproduced by Beeibohm Tree for the first time at the Haymarket theater Thursday night, should hold the staire at fhat place of amusement for a long time. In the open ins scenes Thursday night Mr. Tree, who played the part of ' Hamlet, acted With a quiet effectiveness. Afterward, especially in the play scone and the closet scene, via acting displayed intense passion. Mr. Tree presented aa alto gether original and noteworthy perfor mance, lie invests the character of Hamlet with new attributes, and pre sents him as never mail, but with his miiid subjected to such a strain as to make him scarcely re sponsible for his actions in moments of such trenzy as resulted in the death of Polonfos aod the dismissal of Ophelia. Mrs. Tree's Ophelia was a most grace ful ami pathetic portrayal. All the daily prpers devote much space to lons :iml earefol criticisms of ihe play. The Time says: "Judged by the standard of the Qarricks, Kemblea and Keans, the coveted certificate of proficiency is Mr. Tree's, He has given us a •Ilain let 1 with such distinctive marks as come only from an actor of tho lushest resources." A similar tone pervades all the other criticisms. A letter h:is been published from Mr. MeNulty. tlie Irish musical critic. which is likely to make some stir iv dramatic circles. Mr. McNulty insinuates that the principal features in Mr. Gilbert's ••Ihe Mountebanks" were taken from the libretto ot an opera written by Mr. McNulty. which he sent to the late Ar thur Collier last summer. The princi pal characters in this libretto were a magician who, with an elixir, changes a person into the character lie or she wishes to be, and a cloelunau whose jerky language is similar to that used by Mr. Gilbert in "The Mountebanks." Mr.McNuity also claims that his libretto had a sotur, "Drop a Penny in the Mot." while Gilbert's version has it "Tut a Penny in the Slot." Mr. McNultv con cludes his letter by saying tliat<Jiibert will probably make thousands of pounds from his opera, while he himself, who spent his time and used his brains in composing the libretto ol his opera, will get nothing. GATHERFD AT KOME. Rudini's Policy— Two Congrega- tions of Cardinals. Kome. Jau. -23.— Signor Rudini, pres ident of the council, speakins with an opponent of the ministry, s;iid recently that it was intended as soon as the financial estimates were approved to re-organize the central administration, and added that the government would always pursue a liberal policy which could not alienate the support "of the left. The first lot of new guns for the army is expected soon to be ready for distribution. In the estimates for 1891-2, 4,000,000 lire were included for the manufacture of the new guns. Fifty thousand were to be made the first year, and after that IOO.CWj annual ly, so as to equip the entire army in three or four years. The committee that has been organ ized for the EDiscopal jubilee of the pope intend to issue an appeal to Italian Catholics to collect 1,000.00 lire to defray the expensesof a mass that the pope will celebrate in St. Pe te r's. The general congregations of cardi nals will be convoked in a few days, under the presidence of the pope him self, to consider the subject of two beatifications that will be proclaimed on the occasion of his episcopal jubilee. Quite a number of propositions for beatification and canonization are under discussion by the "congregation of " rites," amon£ which may be mentioned the venerated reniusat of Marseilles. The New Year's greetings to the pope from Emperor William contained these words: "I pray the eternal that he will preserve a life so precious to the interests of religion, and to the main tenance of friendly relations with the empire." Among the prominent Americans who have lately arrived in Kome are Prof. Fairman Rozers and family, of New port. K. 1., who expect to spend the winter at the Hotel Europa, and the. wite and daughter of Senator Warner Miller, of Xew York, who have taken rooms at the Quirinal hotel. Among those who have been attacked with influenza are the wife and son of United States Consul General Bourn. They have, however, eut'uely recovered from the attack. ■ Miss Annie Porter, of Franklyn eouny. La., died here a few days ago of heart failure, and was buried in St. Paul's cemetery. Her mother died of the same trouble two years ago in this city. Ail the Roman newspapers today con tained favorable accounts of ti:e pope's condition. The Ri forma, commenting on the subject of the next conclave, says there are sums that the struggle between those who desire an Italian pope and those who advoi-ate the enthronement of a foreigner as pontiff will be a severe one. THE GRIP EPIDEMIC. It Baffles the Skill of Physicians of England. London. Jan. 23. — The frequent declarations made by eminent physi cians that the cause and preventive of "grip" are things beyond the ken of medical science, do not satisfy the pub lic on this important point. There is a growing demand for the appointment ol a royal commission to inquire into the possibility of relieving mankind from the scourge. The epidemic is somewhat less virulent this year than formerly, but to offset this, it is more widespread in its ravages, so that on the whole the visitation is more burden some than before. There are thousands of victims among the employes of under-ground railways and thous ands more among the postoftice clerks. These services are so badly crippled as to cause public incon venience, but where nearly every busi ness is affected it is hardly worth while to specify particular cases. The number of members of parliwn.ent prostrated by the disease is so large and the sanitary condition of t'ae house of parliament is so bad that the ministers are likely to postpone the session until the wave" of illness shall have subsided. Funeral di rectors are, of course, reaping a golden harvest. It might seem that at such a time there would be less occasion than usual to advertise their business, but, En fact, the increase in the demand for their services has had the effect of stimulating competition among them. A novel method of attracting custom has been adopted by one under taker in the East end. lie causes a hearse to be drawn through the streets bearing a large sign with his name and address, and the announcement that his charges for conducting a funeral are only 24 shillings and 6 pence upward. The hearse is accompanied by three gloom y-lookin? individuals dressed com pletely in black, and the device succeeds in attracting inucn attention. ROMANS RAZZLED. Earthquake Shocks Drive Them to the Open Places. Rome, Jan. 23.— There were several quite severe shocks of earthquake felt here last night, which caused a panic in the more crowded quarters or the city. The inhabitants or the houses in some places thought their dwellings were about to fall and they rushed into' the streets, many of them in their night clothing, not waiting to save any of their personal effects. So thoroughly frightened were they, and so much did they fear a repitition of the shocks, that nothing ;*ould induce them to return to their dwellings, and they remained on the streets all night, seekfng for better security the open places, where they would be out of the reach of . falling buildings The theaters shook with the violence of the shock, ana the audiences were greatly frightened. The panic soon subsided, however. Most of the clocks in the city stopped at 11 :27. The ground shook so violently that the street lamps were extinguished, and it is feared that damage may perhaps have been done to the underground pipes. The pope was aroused by the eartli trembling. He immediately sent to the Vatican observatory to inquire if they were likely to prove serious. His holi ness was assured that there was no dau- THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 24, 1892. —SIXTEEN PAGES. ... . _ __ ■ " JANUARY "BUSY DA YS!" **»- **■** **» of store hews at SCHUNEMAN & EVANS'.

There is very little reason to attribute an inspired char acter to an article which appears in one of the London papers today declaring the intention of the government not to press . the Irish local government bill forward except as an uncontented meas ure. Of course no formal decision has yet been arrived at in the matter, but I Mr. Balfonr is so completely master of i the situation that if he has jriven up i hopes of forcing the bill through ] his colleagues ~ will certainly put no objection fti the way. Some of them, indeed, may claim hits decision as • being a vindication of their own pre- j science, as they hnv.' scarcely been at j the trouble to liide" their dislike to the | measure ever since it was first talked ! about. j The question is whether Mr. Cham berlain kasgiven liis asseut. It is be lieved, however, that the member for West Birmingham has throughout recognized the difficulties in the way of ' the government. In fact the only section j of their supporters who are spoken of . as uncompromising friends ot the bill I are the Irish Liberal-Unionists, who > are only two in number, though, it may j be added, T. W. Russell is certainly a force to be reckoned with. The bill will, in any case, be pressed to a second reading, as the government is desirous of insuring the adoptioii~f the principle ! m the present parliament. - ] A?
