LONDON , Oct. 23. In splto of the olilclal
denial of thu marquis of Salisbury's up-
prnchlng resignation of the premiership ,
Ijcilcf In Its truth U very strong In po
litical circles , where It Is considered that
his rntlrciLcnt Is Inevitable within a few
'
mouths. Tlila view of the undercurrent
warf confirmed by a cabinet minister on
\Vc1ncmlny , who privately remarked that
tht < ltllC of Devonshire had declared that he
means to have the premiership when the
jnarqii's ' of Salisbury resigns. The mlnls.er
said :
"This means that the candidates will bo
the duke of Devonshire and 'Mr. Halfour ,
the lattc'r being aided by Mr. Chamberlain.
Vlio duke of Dvonshlro long ago wanted to
merge the liberal unl.nUts Into the con-
F.er natives and wns only prevented 'by Mr.
Chamberlain , who know that If It was done
ho wo'ild sink Into comparative Inslgnlfl-
cancu. Tliero Is not much love lost between
thb luke of Devonshire and Mr. Chamber
lain , onu the succession to Lord Salisbury
will be a test between them. Jf the duke
of Devonshire docs not succeed , ho will lose
considerably , as it will raise Mr. Chamberlain
leadership. Mr.
lain nv re distinctly to the
Chambe'rlaln , therefore , will support Mr.
Halfour , in the belief that should Mr. Hal-
make mistakes , the reversion
four , as premier ,
version of the premiership will go to him ,
Mr. Chamberlain. "
CAUSTIC CRITICISM.
The announcement of the coming retire
ment of the marquis of Salisbury has given
n.i opportunity to the press and even to the
conservative newspapers to rake the premier
over the coals for falling to smooth the
widespread disaffection In the party ranks.
It Is pointed out with more and more force
that a leader never permitted things to
reach such a point as when the marquis
of Londonderry nnd a great conservative
association proclaimed their distrust and dls-
llko of the government's policy , nor would
any previous minister have allowed Mr.
Chamberlain .to . carry legislation alienating
the great employers of the country , or still
"blmetalllst colleagues
leas , permitted his
to go unmuzzled nnd frighten capital out
of Us wits. "
The appointment of IU. Hon. Nathanle
Mndloy as master of the rolls , In successloi
to Viscount Eshor , while popular , is appar
ently Indirectly due to the speech of SI
Edward Clark early In the year , criticizing
Great llrltaln's position In the Venezuelan
case. U U generally understood that Si
Jllchard Webster , the attorney general
might have had the mastership , but In Ilia
case Sir EJward Cla'k would have been au
pointed attorney general , and after his re
marks upon the Venezuelan case the gov
crnmcnt could not well have entrusted th
British case to him. However , If the bar
rumors nro tnic. Sir Hlchard Wcbstor wll
not suffer , for , according to tbo Btory
Lord HolHlmry , the lord high chancellor , wl
vacate the woolsack Just before the clos
of prfacnt Parliament nnd Sir Hlchar
will take his place. Tlilo means a prcmatur
pension of 5,000 for Lord Ilalsbury , but th
conservatives do not mind Increasing th
taxes when It Is a question of providing tea
a favorite.
GKHMANY IN THB LEAD.
The Kieclal committee sent to German b
the corporation of Manchester , In order I
discover the cause of Bug'.und'H Industrla
decadence , found extraordinary dovelopmon
of technical education obioad. Aldomia
Crossflcld , a member of the committee , told
"The English workers nro half savages whei
onmnarcd with the Intelligent artisans o
Germany. " Councillor Pythian , n member of
the Amalgamated Society of Engineers , re-
mr.rkod : "Thu engines and dynamos made In
Gcfmany put to sli < imo most of the work In
the English shops , "
These nro but type" of the Impressions
coloring the whole report of the Manchester
committee , the tenor of which is amply con
firmed by the multiplying signs of the lllu-
eo.y character of the British pretensions to
industrial supremacy.
Though the diplomatists regard the situa
tion In HIP Lagos Hinterland as complicated
and difficult to settle , the secretary of state
for the colonies , Mr. Chamberlain , IB pur
suing a forward policy , which threatens In
fo-national peace. The marqul.i of Salisbury
was content to negotiate a settlement of the
question in Paris , but Mr. Chamberlain
Conned a plan to effectively occupy the ter
ritory In dispute , while- the diplomats were
arguing and applied for sixty British officers
to organize a big force of Uaumas for this
Borvlce.
LoniLLxnn is PESSIMISTIC.
The American line steamer St. Louis ,
which sailed for Now York from Southamp
ton today , had on board Plerro Lorlllard , the
American horseman , After spending two
years In Europe ho declares that ho will
pass most of his tlmo In the future on this
eldo of the Atlantic. He will winter , how
ever , on a houseboat In Florida , for after
two winters on the Htvcrla ho has concluded
that Florida Is inoro healthy as a winter re
port. Mr. Lorlllard took a gloomy view of
Hie conditions prevailing In the United
States and said to a representative of the
Associated Press ; "European capital has so
lost c nrtdi-nee that even McKlnley'a elec
tion falls to reassure It. English , French
f.ud German Investors cannot ba persuaded
to invest a cent In United States railroads
or other buetniEs In the United States , and
have withdrawn all Ihelr liwcftmcnt * except
from such Industries as breweries. If It wcio
not for the socialistic forces the UnltcJ
States would command millions of money
now Idle In Europe. I do not tea how our
polities could bo much .worse. . In New York

DUBLIN' , Oct. 23. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) To the Edl-
or of the Wcrld : It .Is admitted now by all
except Dublin cattle that over large districts
n the west nnd southwest of Ireland severe
ll'tross. amounting to famine In places , will
irevall dnt'lng the coming winter nnd spring.
As In IS 15 and IS73 nnd other famine years ,
ho government has begun by vigorously
denying that there Is cause for alarm. This
attitude Is always maintained until after the
November rents arc collected. Meanwhile
the area and intcnrlty of distress Is In
crease. ! greatly by levying rents on a people
who scon will bo factto face with itarvatkn.
njcutmunts ar. < l processes for rent are falling
Ike suowllakes over the distressed districts.
Wu hold that the duty of providing against
llstnss lies entirely on the government and
that it has no right to leave the people to
the charity of the world. Periodic famines
In Ireland are thu direct result of mlsgov-
onitncnt. This year and for the last forty
years $15,000,000 has been taken annually
'rom Irelatvl unjustly by excessive taxation.
3no-olxth of the sum of which Ireland has
en robbed this year would provide , If
lusciously expended , for the wants of the
llstresscd districts If accompanied by a
meoRuro placing a check on the levying of
rents In the famine districts. Sixty-seven
Irish members out of a total of 103 signed a
memorial to Mr. Balfour asking for the Im
mediate summoning of Parliament In order
to make proper provision for relief work an > l
to pass some measure to restrain the levyIng -
Ing of excessive rents.
Mr. Halfour's answer has been the old
stereotyped one : "Tho government Is care
fully watching the distress and has ample
powers to deal with it. " That was exactly
what was said in 1845. The government
continued to watch wh'llo thousands died of
hunger. Wo have no confidence in the of
ficial machinery of the Irish government and
wo no not believe that the further thinning
out of the Irish population would be a mat
ter of regret to the castle authorities. The
best bervico our friends in America can ren
der will bo to bold meetings to expcse the
callouri attitude of the Irish government and
then demand -In the name of common human
ity that the government shall do Its duty.

IJEKLIN , Oct. 23. In order to strengthen
in the most particular manner the iintl-
PruEslan tendencies of liavaria three letters
written by the late King Ludwlg II of Ia-
varia have been disclosed , the publication of
which has been much criticised here. The
first , written In July , 1871 , to an official In
the king's confidence , siys :
"Lately his majesty has often read the
Munich papers and has found that tncy oc
cupied themselves mcatly with the German
emperor and the crown prince and wrote-
about them In exaggerated and fulsome ,
terms , while his majesty Is only casually
mentioned , or not even at all. Ills majesty
la now quite certain that these newspaper
editors arc Prussian hirelings and that the
correspondents are paid by the Prutalan gov
ernment to fill tbo Munich papers with Buch
baneful articles. Ills majesty now asks you
whet.ier It Is possible , by means of the privy
purse , to appoint able men , whoso ( ask will
bo to represent the monarch daily In the
press and HCO that the king's name bo often
mid by the population. Their task would
further bo to see that articles emanating
from his majesty or the cabinet are accepted
by certain papers and to weaken the bad In-
lluenco of Prussia. "
The next letter 'Is ' dated from Holien-
schwandan and evidently was written after
a conversation between King Ludwlg and Ms
mother. It reads :
"Dear Hofiath : Herewith you will receive
the following order from thu king : Please
tell Lieutenant Colonel von Saner that the.
king wishes him to go at once to her maj
esty , the queen mother , and Inform her In
a delicate manner that her majtety must
never again talk politics In the king's pres
ence and she must never speak In praise
of Prussia. "

Croker's popularity on the English turf is no
myth ; It is an Incontestlblc fact. He has
eained It In three years' racing at a cost of :
etween fGOO.OOO and $709,000. For weeks a t
Vorld correspondent has been engaged in in- ,
csligating Croker's English racing career.
Ml sorts and conditions of sportsmen have
ecn questioned at Newmarket , the head- '
uarters for English racing , where Croker
egan his career in 1895 In partnership with
Dwycr ; at Wantage , where his establish
ment has been fixed the last two seasons ; at '
'
Tattersall's , where all the leading turfites ,
matcur or professional , assemble every j
ettllng day , everywhere they express
lationizlng respect for Croker. "He Is as
good a sportsman as any Englishman , " said
(
no of the biggest turf commissioners In j
Jngland to the World representative. "He's ,
lad a rare dose of bad luck , but takes It I
landing up , like a good 'nn , and goes In all I
he heavier next time. " That In a nutshell
s the secret of Croker's good fame among
its English sporting associates. He spares
no pains tn Ingiatiate himself with them ,
'lie always put his hand In his pocket for
oc-al charities , " saU- mine hoH at Wantage. ]
|
'Ho gave us D subscription to commemorate |
Queen Victoria's Jubilee. You would not get I '
nany Americans to do that. "
LOSEH FUO.M THB START.
It Is a curious fact that when Croker came
over originally the Intention was to keep a
jrccdlng stud In Ireland with a racing stable
n England , but a brief Inspection of his na- ]
live country was sufficient for him. IIo re
turned to settle In the more congenial En
glish atmosphere , of which he growa nder
the more money ho loses here. Croker and
Dwyer's string of horses arrived at the Lon-
lon docks on the 'Mississippi ' on January 25 ,
1805. .Misfortune dogged him from the start ,
as ho lost on the voyage a valuable --year-
old , Natty Humpo , which had recently cost
(6r ( > 00. This reduced his consignment to the
unlucky number , thirteen , namely : DDbblns ,
Eaugalllo , Montauk , Delle Mcado , Herb'rl ,
True Blue , Dinah and six unnamed fillies , all
cxcupt ono sired by Iroquols. Harry Camp
bell came over In charge of the string , bring
ing Ave lads to exercise them. Soon New
market be an to note the extravagant style
in which Croker's stable was managed , and
sportsmen and newspapers said : "The boys
riding Croker's horses at Newmarket have no
other work to do. Strappsrs being engaged
for stable business , The boys have an easy
tlmo. " Croker's enterprise was freely boomed
and great things wore expected of Montauk ,
particularly , which was beaten on his only
two appearances in 1895 , Natty Dumpo , Eau-
gallle , Dobbins , Montauk and Hello Mcado
were entered for numerous rrces. Including
the principal spring handicaps and various
events at Ascot and other Important meet-
Ings. "Croker's merit lay In his entries.
Forfeits , " said a prominent turf correspond
ent to the World , "meant a small fortune.
Ho or his advisers were most liberal In mak
ing entries for all kinds of events In..which
ho never took part , and in which substantial
forfeits were paid. He entered eight horccs
for the Derby at a cost of $2,000. None ran.
He burnt his fingers severely the first year ,
and be has been more cautious since. "
HIS GAME WAS COSTLY ,
Leading American turfites acquainted with
racing conditions in England are quoted as
prophesying on Marh 25 In Sporting Life :
"Croker's year in Epgland will cost him
1150,000 outaVe of bjfltlog. He will find he
must PX. . ° " ' 'J JpB'll\.nivSf heard of before.
r < ) ffccj in. Rjfei ! (9V using tbo track ,
,
stable rent , exorbitant eLtry fees , dues ,
curses and stakes , placing In England Is a
rich lean's luxury. " Following the death of
N.tty Uumpo , Dobbins , Crpker's mainstay for
the valuable spring handicaps , Injured him
self and had to be withdrawn from racing.
Having dcoosltcd .thousands of dollars of
entrance money , he ony "ran two ani
mals In three events In 1S95. . . Mpnlauk was
heavily tasked In the , first lace , when Croker
lost $75,000 and half that on Its second race.
His sole /success in 1S95 was with Eaugallie , '
which , ridden by Slnims , won the Crawford
patCj ! valued at $1,725 , ; when Croker and
Dwyer were reported to have landed $40,000.
Dut In reckoning Crokcr's turf expenditures
in 18D3 It must be icinembered he stood lu
with Dwyer with Danqubi II , Harry Heed ,
Stoncnell and Don Alonzo. Their policy In
entering horses like- Banquet , Harry Ileed
and Stonenell In selling ptatcs at low nominal
price , so gettlug the advantage ot all allow
ances and then maiciug a tremendous betting
plunge on them , excited fierce criticism and
and involved them in 'disastrous ' financial
coni-cquences. IJauquct wpii two selling plates
in Ai.Tll and May at Newmarket with an ag
gregate value of $1,475. Under the eon-Jitiona
of Iho race he was ptitftjp at auction when
it cost his owners $3CCO to buy him in on the
first and $7,550 on the second occasion. Ban
quet's third selling race v.'as July 1C , when
he was claimed absolute ! by Charles Archer
for $1,000 , owing to the odds being on Ilan-
quct. In these races it Is an open secret that
Croker and Dwycr made nothing , if they did
not actually lose. In another selling race en
Stonenell Croker and Dwyer lost not only
the Ir-Ti-.e , which was claimed by another
owner for $2,000 , but $55,000 In bets , accordIng -
Ing to reports In sporting papers.
STOPPED THE1H SYSTEM.
At the time Harry Heed was here there were
u couple of similar victories by the Crokur
Dwycr combination , the upshot of thr-so per
formances being the Jockey club was ap-
polled to to make a np\v , i-ulo to prevent scll-
ling races being made , t medium of mere
gambling plunges wltbm t a semblance of
sporting feeling. C/ok r's aggregate wln-
nlngs In stakes in 1895 waa $1,725 , and In an
Interview then printed In the World he com
plained bitterly of bcljiBlinfalrly treated und
criticised by English tiarallcapperH and sportIng -
Ing writers. The naturff of Dwyer's experi
ence was Indicated' wbfij he said disgustedly :
"I am done with racing ; n England. "
"What do you iouhl ) estimate Croker's
fhst season cost iskcd the World of
the most noted Newnjaritt tralpcr , who re
plied : "Well , .he wafljftdted heavily. What
between liberal management or stable , en
trance forfeits , rallroml _ CMrges , veterinary
surgeons , Jockey's fee ? ; nd all kinds of odd
expenses , the training ! ci tabllshmcnt here In
1895 cost him quite 1 ,0 < 0. Then ho droppcl
a plle In the betting In r , nnd I have heard
It estimated ho was JCiOo6o on the wrong side
at the end of the season , It might he moro
by a good deal , Certalrjly it was not less. "
HIS 1890 CAJ1PAIGN.
Toward the close"of 'IsgS Croker engaged
Charles Morton as' a trainer -and moved to
Wantagewherg he boug t Thomas Lytham's
establishment , Moa't Iloueo. Morton made a
big fortune one tlmo-and , lest a good deal of
It on the turf. He was trainer to Ablngdon
Ilalnl and has the reputation of being clover
at the business. Croker paid him a retaining
salary of $7,500 a year. Beginning In 189G
Croker's string was increased to twenty-one
animals , showing ho wai in no way dismayed
by his immense losses of the preceding sea
son , They were Santa Anita , Sir Excess ,
Amerlcus , Eaugallie , Montauk , Nora , Nash-
Vlllc. Albany , Georcfaha. Now Hampshire ,
1'rlncetoii , Susan , vi'cstc-hester , Harvard ,
Antletam , Nantueket- Charter Oak , I-a-

ner. Several were brought from America
during the winter , two were British bred ,
Ge-orglana and Nora. Again bo incurred
heavy costs , entering horses for races In
which they never ran In 1S90. Montauk was
becked to win $ lf > 0OOOUn the Derby. Croker
also backed him for blk stakes in City , and
Surburban plate , but he never ran in either ,
having made such a sorry showing In the
Drake-low at Derby , where Croker is said to
have lost $15,000 la beta. Clayton was
the Jockey engaged to ride for Croker's
gtable for 1S97 but throughout the season

MADKID , Oct. 23. New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Spain's reply
tn the note of the UnlteJ States , hinting at
mediation In Cuba and requesting an answer
before the end of this month , was placed
today In the hands of the American minister
here , General Woodford.
'Iho draft of the reply made by Foreign
Minister Gallon was unanimously approved
yesterday by the cabinet. The communica
tion Is courteous in tone , but very deter
mined In rejecting the sutitonce of the
American note. Spain resolutely asserts her
detcimlnatlon to bottle the Cuban question
herself , without foreign assistance or inter
ference of any kind. She declines to fix
any date for the pacification of Cuba , which
she proposes to bring about as she sees
fit , by force of afmi ? and by political re
forms , culminating In autonomy combined.
While regretting the losses and damages
the Insurrection has Inflicted on foreign resi
dents , Spain argues that It would not have
happened If International law liad been ob
served , especially by the United State's.
The press today unanimously aprovcs the
attltudo of the Sagasta cabinet aa being In
touch with national ( sentiment , the people
having become weary of his predecessor's
policy of continuous concc'cslons to Amer
ican diplomacy. The council of mlnlslern
decided at yesterday's bcsslon to postpone
the drawing up of the contemplated mem
orandum to the Kuropcn powers on the
question and an the relations of Spain with
the United States. The COIII-EO of future
events will determine the tlmo for sending
this circular.
Since Its recent sounding of European gov-
crnmentH , Spain hua como to the conclusion
that mcst of the powers nro not disposed to
go beyond purely platonlo demonstrations of
sympathy for the Spanish cause In tbe West
Indies. The Spaniards teem to he conscious
that their relations with America are approaching
preaching a grave and critical fltngo.

The maximum temperature yesterday wan
70 degrees. That would not bo high for July
or August , but It Is fairly warm for the latter
part of October and many complain of the
heat. Fair weather Is predicted for today ,
with slight change in the temperature.
The Churchills complain that the duke of
Mnrlborough invited only the Hamilton hcc-
tlon of his relatives. U is quit certain that ,
with the exception of the duke's two Bisters ,
no one of the Churchill name was present.
Lady libinlfonl , a sponsor and the duke's
mother , Is a Hamilton. So Is the duchess of
Huccelcugh and the Countess of Pembroke.
The other guest l also of the Hamilton
blood. Kvcr since the divorce between the
duko's father and Lady Hlamlford the Ham-
lltons and the Churchills have been at outs.
The young duke , after kesplng on terms with
both sides very cleverly , has now deeply af
fected the Churchill relation by Ignoring
their existence.
On this Important family occasion ho has
shrewdly taken hlu stand with the heavy
artillery of the Hamlltons , the most powerful
both politically and Racially in the Ilrltleh
aristocracy In the present generation. Nor
were there any of the Churchllta at the cere
mony at Woodstock on Wednesday of this
week , when the duchcis of Marlborougb
placed tbo new chain of office around the
neck of the mayor of that borough. The
chain was a present from the duke and Is
said to have cost fl.GOO.
Lady Itandulph Churchill's elder son ,
Lieutenant Winston Churchill , Is acting as
cornepomlent for the Dally Telegraph In
the India frontier war. Ills contributions
are printed as by a "Young Olllcer. " The
letters are graphic , showing that the lieu
tenant Is seeing a great deal of lighting with
his regiment.

DEIILIN , Oct. 23. The meeting between
the czar and Empero.- William at Wlcsbadca
on Wednesday last was arranged by 1'rluco
Henry of 1'nifisla at Darmstidt the day be
fore It took pUco. Prior to that there was
no thought of the czar going to Wiesbaden ,
showing that thl meeting of the two em-
peers was of a purely infornnl and accl-
donUil character. The minion of the mon-
nrchs was of a most cordial nature. At
Wiesbaden particularly Emperor William
was In excellent splrlls uu.l made the czar . ,

ITALY AND THE DltKIBUND.
An article In Iho Nova AiitiioRla. an Influ- J ,
cntlal Italian maguz'no ' published by ex- J
Minister Ferraris , has CUUSCQ a profound sen-
Ration In Germany. The article- a summary
of a forthcoming book by Signer Chlall.tho ,
Italian senator and h'tttorlau. He advocates
the fa-nidi withdrawing of Italy from the
druibund at the cxpliatlon of the ( ircsent
term of that compact and the forming ot ft ;
new zwelbund between Italy and Great rfrlt-
iln. The nrtlcle shows that In 1SSG Italy
was on the jjolnt of leaving the Drolhund and
I
n 1S1H It was only provallod uoon to continue
In it for the sake of preserving universal *
peace. Continuing , the writer proceeds to
demonstrate that Italy's most vital politi
cal Intoicsts uro In the Mediterranean and
that only Great Britain can aid. her there.
The article contains nil sorts of official docu
ments hi support of this reasoning , the most
Important being a letter of Count Habitant
to Count DC La u nay , < then ambassador at
Berlin. It Is believed In diplomatic circles
that Slgnor Chla-li's book expresses the con
victions of Italy's statesmen and that the
withdrawal of Italy from the Drelbund Is a
foregone conclusion.
The government newspapers have preserved
silence on tbo subject but the Staatsborger-
zeltung says : "Germany can calmly await
Italy's withdrawal , for It Is undenlablo that
Germany does not heed Italy , but the latter
Is condemned to Impotence without Ger
many's aid. "
TUB GUELI'H QUESTION.
The guelph question Is again to the foro.
The duke of Cumberland , In a letter to a
Hanoverian noble , CirUain von Heden , bids
the latter hope and expresses his gratified
feelings at thu lojalty expressed.
To this 1'rinca Hlsmarck , In the Hamburger
Nachrlcbten , says : "It Is to bo hoped that
this and similar uttcranccH will assist In
solving the Urnnswlck suc-cessorahlp question ,
now pending for twelve years , In a manner
agrecablo to Geriiun national .feeling and
Prussian interests. "
The rest of the German press expresses In
dignation at this. The Tagcblatt remarks :
"At the coming session of the Helchstag the
federal government will clear the matter by
a declaration , shewing that Prussia has no
intention of gobbling up Hrunswlck The suc-
cesEorshli ) Question Is to bo solved by doing
Justice to the legitimate heir. This , too , IB
the cmperoi's view of the matter. "
CHANGE OK IIASE. 1
A curious veering around haa occurred rcla-
tlvo to the sugar Intorcstd. The German
Imsbandiy council has now asked tbo 1m-
jieKal chancellor , Prince Hohenlolio , to reduce
the Italian sugar tax from 20 to IB marks per
100 kllofl , whereupon the Deutsche Tagezol-
lung , the main agrarian organ , which has
lilthcrte advocated high uM'urt premiums and
inland sugar taxes , ndvlpcs thu abolishing
of the whole tax and premiums. It says tile-
Inland confiiitr.rjtlon tux once removed there
would bo a milclr * larger cnnuuiiipUoii of sugar
In Germany , where ( lie tier capita consump
tion Is now nearly one-third that of England.
The paper argues that the total sugar pro
duction of Germany would bo consumed ut
home , thus furnishing thu most simple solu
tion of the whole dllllculty.
The electoral reform bill will not bo pre
sented to the Diet by 'the ' Prupslan govern
ment , In spite of thu promises made dur
ing the lent session.
Emperor William hub iiomoiidlly requested
the manuscript of Sumlcrmann's biblical
drama , "Johannf-a , " 'the presentation of
which was forbidden , and Ills majesty * will
render a final decision soon.

of American fruit. The I'nisalun department
of agriculture has resolved to cncourago
