London, April C It was officially
anuounced that tho king has accepted
4ho resignation of Sir Henry Camp-fccll-Oannorman,
the British pritno
miniter. Sir Henry's condition re
mains unchanged, according to the
physicians' bulletin. The king, In
telegraphing his acceptance of the
j)iotnler's resignation, conveyed an ex
pression of his regret and esteem,
with the best wishes for Sir Henry's
recovery.

or ministry. According to tho court
circular, Sir Henry resigned on tho
urgent solicitation of his medical ad
Vjsos. As the constitution provides
no"autoruatlc successor, it falls on tho
klnjr tc choose a new head of gov
ernmentand In accordance with cus
tom and procodent the whole cabinet
resigns with the premier.
Tho position of tho country is un
precedented, there being no previous
example of a change occurring in tho
premiership whilo tho sovereign was
abroad. On this account the courso
of the procedure to he followed is in
some doubt.
The resignation of Sir Henry Camp-bell-Bannermnn,
tho first Liberal
prime minister of England since Lord
Rosebery gave up office in 1895, has
its dramatic phase, for as ho passes
from tho stage, tho mixed forces
which ho held together as a party ap
pear also to he approaching tho end
of political power. Tho Bannerman
government, it should be stated, com
bined too many factions and too many
fads; all tho elements of opposition to
conservatism and of discontent united
to make common cause against the old
government, and when Joined together
in an administration n working team
of Homo Ruleis, Laborites, Socialists,
Liberal Imperialists and Llttlo En
glanders was found well nigh Impossi
ble. But it speaks much for Banner
man's leadciship that the disintegra
tion of his party has gone on so
much more swiftly since the attack
of heart trouble, last fall In Bristol,
where ho had gone to make a political
speech, which removed him from tho
possibility of active leadership.

Mr. Harrlman, in his answer, denied
that he, with Jacob Schiff, Otto 11.

owned or controlled a majority of the
stock of the Union Pacific. He admits
that he is president and the other men

Ho denleH In each Instance, that tho
acquisition Of stock was to kill com-
petition or monopolize trade or com
merce. Admitting that tho directors
of several of the defendants are Iden
tical, he denies that the Union Pacific
hus control in management or opera
atlon of the affiliated lines. He avers
that In the transcontinental lines of
railroad' reaching the Pacific coast
south of Portland the Union Pacific is
hut n link about one thousand miles in
length an intermediate carrier with
out any power to make rates upon

make latcs on business east of Ogden;
thnt no rates could bo made from the
Missouri river to the coast without
tho joint consent of the Southern Pa

while the Union Pacific and its con
stituent companies separately owned
connecting lines operated as a single
system from tho Missouri river to
Portland, Ore., and operated certain
small steamships between Portland
and San Francisco, yet such a route
via Portland was not only Impiactica

After moro than two hours of un
availing tuggng and desperate scram
bllng. the Russian said to Gotch;
"I'll give you tho match."
Referee Ed Smith at once declared
Qotuh tho winner.
Tho end camo so unexpectedly that
tho great crowd of 8,000 which wit
nessed tho contest could scarcely com
prehend what had happened. Not un
til the rofereo had announced that
Hackenschnudt had Htirrondoiod the
championship of tho world to Prank
Gotch did tho full significance of tho
event strike homo Then tho excited
men swarmed Into the ring, surging
about Gotch until tho police camo to
his roscue and drove tho crowd back
through tho ropes. The match was in
soiiio respects sensational, but it
served mainly to show that Gotch bat
a defensive system which no one can
brealv down.
For an hour and forty-five minutes
ho eluded every attempt of the Rua
bian Lion to fasten a grip on him.
Gotch sidestepped, roughed his man's
features with his knuckles, hutted htm
under the chin and generally worried
Hackenschinldt until tho foreigner
was totally at a loss how to proceed
But when, In the clinch that finally
came, Gotch shimmed his opponent to
the mat and camo within an ace of
securing a firm toe hold, following this
up by lifting Hnckcuschmidt clear of
tho mat and slamming him en his
shoulders with tn rifle force, the Ku
lopean exponent was hcait-brokcn
Tho lines slowly deepened on his
face, the hoots and gibes of tho crowd
hurt his feelings and, after consider
ing the mutter for a few seconds, he
decided that It was time to milt.

man was in tho butter condition,
was cpiicker and trickier and showed
a far bettor knowledge of the game.
