( CopyrlKhtod , 1893. by Press PuMlshlnir Company ) LONDON , May 11. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Lord Rose- bery's momentary breakdown while speaking at the Liberal club Wednesday night has re vived reports ot his Intended resignation. The London papers have now all publicly admitted the fact , .cabled to the World wceko before Its publication here , that the premier did In tend resigning Just after his severe- attack of Influenza last February. The Intent docs not exist now , and a t'UUment ' ot the exact sit uation has been given mo by a near connec tion by marriage ot Lord Rosebery's , con- flrmcd by two members of the cabinet , as follows : The premier's health Is undoubtedly Improving slowly , and were he not still suf fering from occasional spells of Insomnia , he would bo as strong as ever. His temporary loss of memory at the club reception was not accompanied by any appearance of falntnoss or distress , or uch symptoms as would In dlcato a physical failure , and Its real cause was two gentlemen Immediately behind liln wore engaged In a whispered conversation a species of annoyance that always Interferes with the speaker's flow of thought. Ills little speech , In fact , was moro earnest and spirited In tone and manner after the brief pause then before. As to the possibility of his resignation , the facts are these : As the World stated exclusively nt the time , Lord Ilosebery was strongly disposed to resign Im mediately after his attack of Influenza , and while the mental and physical depression which follow that complaint were upon htm He would have reslgneJ then , but as th World explained the queen prevailed on him to reconsider his determination until she had had her holiday abroad. Ho baa now abandoned the Idea of retiring. SHOWN DY HAUCOUIIT'S TEMPER. To those acquainted with the Inside condl tlon ot things In the' cabinet , the surest proof of Rosebcry's Intention to remain Is ottered by the recent alteration observable In "th temper of Sir William Harcourt. While th possibility ot his resignation was on , Har court waa overflowing with good humor an high spirits , but ever since the queen's re turn waa not followed by Ilosebery's surren dcr of the seal of office , Harcourt has bee perfectly bearish In the House of Commons Ho created quite a scene there yesterday b ; practically telling certain rebellious Scottls ! supporters of the government that the ; might go to the devil. It Is not Roscbery' resignation , but Harcourt's 111 temper , tha Is the most dangerous rock ahead for th government. He persists * In his rcsolvo t bring forward at the first opportunity his bill for the establishment of a local veto on the liquor traffic , though It has been re ceived by all but the temperance supporters of the government In the House with decided disfavor , In fact , the general prognostication Is that if It Is ever brought to a scond reading the government will tall. It Is well known that the leader of the House has never forgiven Rosebery for getting the premiership over his head. The only real chance now that the unionists will succeed at the next election Is on the liquor Issue. Thla question has wrecked every gov ernment that ever took It up , owing to the enormous resources of the brewing Interest nnd the widespread organization at Its com mand In the public houses. It Is an open secret that the premier and Sir William only epe-ak when ministerial necessities compel tlum , and then In the most formal way. Lord Rosebery has extended the olive branch more than once to his masterful colleague , . ? but Sir William has made no reciprocal movement. When Lord Rosebsry makes a public speech ho rarely loses an opportunity of paying compliments to Harcourt. But tin latter has never , I think , publicly referred to Lord Rosebtry since ho became premier. Ho has never expressed In any public form regret for his chiefs Illness , and on Lord Rosebery's first appearance In public the other night the omlrslon by Harcourt even of the most formal compliment on. his recovery has since been generally commented upon as a particularly glaring exhibition of per sonal rancor and bad taste. CONSULS PROTECTING SLAVEOWNERS. The secretary of the anti-slavery society here protests against the action of the con sular agenti of the United States at Tangier. The consular agents there have been In the habit of adopting certain resident mer chants and others , thereby freeing them from oppressions of the sultan and other cfllciaU as quast-cltlzens of their various govern ments. It will be remembered that thlt sys tem exposed our consul there some years ago to charges of receiving bribes for this official protection. The secretary of the Brit ish society tay that the "Legations of Eng land , Prance and Spain at Tanglers have written to their respective consuls , ordering them to procure the liberation of all slaves held by their Moorish proteges , and that this has been carried Into effect. My Informant ttates that consular agents of the United States and Brazil have declined to follow tills example , and that their proteges had more slaves than those ot any other power. It Is to be hoped that the governments rep resented by these agents may give Instruc tion ! for tbe liberation of all slaves held by their proteges. " JOURNALISTS AT A DINNER. A farewell dinner given Mr. Smalley this week by his fellow Now York correspondents in London was a very interesting occasion In eeveral respects , notably In the freedom with * xyhlch .Arthur Walter , now almost sole propri etor of the Times , discussed the attain ot that great paper. He expressed the confident ex pectation that Mr. Smalley'a knowledge , both of American and foreign politics , would In his now field be of greatest service. Another feature wai that , for perhaps the first time In the history of banquets In England , tbe gueen'i name was coupled In a toatt with that ot any other person , even at a banquet. At the New American society last week the toast to the queen preceded that to the presi dent ot the United States , and the fact has since created much discussion In the Amer ican colony here. On this occasion the chair man , Harold Frederick , proposed the toast to tbe queen and president together , and the lord chief justice In response was eloquent , and , practised speaker as he Is , visibly em barrassed , In fact , he alluded to the nov elty of the position In which he found him self , the practice being to drink the queen's toast always In silence , but standing. Lord Russell acquitted himself very gallantly , however , In his tribute to both. Still an other somewhat noteworthy Incident was the remark of Sir Francis Jeune , president of the divorce court. He Is a noted atterdlnner wit , and his words were spoken very good humoredly. "Some time ago , " he said , "London papers were dlscutslng the question , 'How to be appy though married. ' We will now expect > tr. Smalley to tell us how to be free though emocratlc. " And he also defined journalism s "literature In a hurry. " Mr. Smalley Imself made a very grateful speech , and \mbassador Bayard wittily replied to Sir rands' joke. Among other guests were lowbray Bell , manager of the Times ; Henry amcs and Frank Harris , the new editor * of ho Saturday Review. The policy of that > apor has always heretofore been antago nistic to everything American , but Mr. Har- Is , who lived for some months In the states , xpressed enthusiastic admiration for our In- tltutlons. BALFOUR ON ADVERTISING. Arthur Balfour's tribute to the power , hon sty and public service of the newspaper iross at the banquet of the Newspaper so lety the other night has attracted much .ttcntlon , not co much , perhaps , because the peakor Is the leader of a great party , but iecaupo he belongs to that class of English oclety , which is In the habit of denying hese qualities In the dally newspapers. One point In his address was praise of tbe news paper as an advertising medium , In which -espect , he thought. Its beneficent mission as Important as In promulgation of news or "In Its capacity as an advertising agent , " he said , "It Is after all of the first Importance o any civilized society , Inasmuch as It brings together these who have something o sell and those who have something to buy ! ome general gentlemen laugh when I men- ton advertising , but In my judgment the 'orelgn correspondent and the parliamentary reporter , and all the other machinery of com- munlcatlng Information to the public , really are not of more Importance to the commu nity at largo than the power of communlca- lon by advertisements. " In this general connection the figures of he advertisement in the great London dallies , vill bo of Interest to your readers. From careful examination of the flies of the Times , Telegraph and News for the year ending December 31 last It appears that In round numbers th : Times published 319,031 advertisements during the twelve months the Telegraph 577,700 , and the News 2D2.- 430.

Mr. Victor Maper's play , "La Comtesse do Llsno , " was performed Thursday evening at the Theater Momlalnc , Paris , and met with rather a cold reception. Few Americans were present. The play was fairly well acted and the American author deserves credit for his intimate knowledge ot the French lan guage. Mme. Marchesl gave on Thursday after noon a recital of her scholars nt the Salic Erard. Her scholars include several Ameri cans. Those of her pupils who distinguished themselves most were Mrs. Gertrude Ives , widow of Mr. Henry Ives of New York , who will go on the stage under the name of Mme. Lillian Vllna , and her sister.

( Copyrighted , 1693 , by the Associated Prcfs. ) BERLIN , May 11. In view of the rejection yesterday by the Reichstag of paragraph 3 of the antl-rcvolutton bill , which practically sealed the fate of that measure , nobody was surprised when the Reichstag today , after rejecting paragraph 112 , refused to further discuss the bill , and all Its amendments were withdrawn. Then the entlro bill , para graph by paragraph , was rejected , without debate , and the Reichstag adjourned. Though the rejection ot the bill did not surprise any body who has followed the popular agitation against It , and although the rejection yester day of paragraph 3 hopelessly emasculated the bill , the discussion of the other sections was expected to drag along for a time , as the government did not Inlend to withdraw the measure , although continuance of the debate only promised further humiliation for the government. Therefore the coup do grace administered to the unpopular bill today Is a relict to all concerned. The most Interesting speech during the discussion was that of Herr Groeber , which showed that the entire party was Irritated against the government on account of its management of the bill. He said Hcrr von Kocller , the Prussian minister of the In terior , apparently regarded the Reichstag as an automatic machine , Into which bills were put In order to be pulled out as laws on the other side. The utterances of Hcrr von Kocller In support of the bill , he asserted only put weapons In the hands of the social ists. Herr Groeber then proceeded to pro test against the dictatorial attitude assumed by Dr. Schoenstadt , the Prussian minister ol justice , toward the center party and de clared the party would decline further re sponsibility for the murder. EMBITTERED THE CENTER PARTY. Dr. Schoenstadt replied in a speech whicl only served to further embitter the trouble and to leave the government at loggerheads with the center party. The proceedings were somewhat enllvene by the remarks of Dr. Slgel , editor of the Bavarian Katterland , and whoso antl-Prus slan utterances have earned htm the nick name of the "Prussian eater. " Dr. Slge humorously criticized the bill and the mln Isters' speeches. He declared Herr voi Koeller's speech was an Insult to the Reich stag , but he was Interrupted by the prcsl dent , Herr von Bueol-Berlberg , who re marked that It was the president's buslnes : to rebuke Insults to the house. Herr Von Koeller , amid general laughter ostentatiously applauded Dr. Slgel , as th latter returned to his seat. Upon resuming business today , the Reich stag proceeded to discuss paragraph 112 o the anti-revolution bill. The minister of war , General Von Schellen dorf , declared he could well undcrstam the socialist antagonism to the army , wlilc he declared was a solid wall against wlilc It was useless for the socialists to run thcl heads ; nevertheless , he continued , socialism was pricking at the foundation of this wai and It was to prevent these attempts that th paragraph was Intended. Herr Bebel , socialist , rejlled that the ml Ing circles evidently wished to provoke th social democracy to acts of violence In orde to crush It by military force. But , he addee the socialists did not Intend to be entangle In a snare. The minister of war warmly repudiate Herr Bebel's allegations and quoted a article from tl.o Vorwaerts , the soclalls organ , suggesting that he , the minister o war , ought to be shot like a mad dog , REJECTED THE PARAGRAPH. Hcrr Osan , national liberal ; Count vo Kardoff , free conservative , and Herr vo Levetzow then announced , on behalf of thsl respective parties , that they would folio General Von Schellendorf In supporting th government on paragraph 112 against th committee amendments. A division was called and paragraph 112 as dratted by the government , was rejectee the conservatives , Imperialists and nattona liberals voting In the minority. The sain paragraph , as amended In committee , wa then put to a vote and was also rejected , th centrists alone supporting It. Hcrr von Richter , the leader of the people' party , then remarked : "Let us now mak short work of the bill ; let us abandon furthe debate ; that by a succession of divisions w may quickly rid the world ot the whol thing. " The words of Herr Richter were greete with much laughter and his advice wa forthwith acted upon. Amid much excite ment , the various amendments were formal ! withdrawn and a curious scene ensued. Th majority , In the gayest of spirits , rejecte each paragraph as It was put from the chair When the last paragraph was disposed o the antl-semltes and the members ot th left cheered boisterously and the sitting wa adjourned , amid Intense excitement , unt Monday , when the discussion upon the cus toms convention with Austria and the to bacco tax will be taken up. There was much discussion In political cir cles tonight at the unexpected denouemen and the effect It Is likely to have on tbe em poror. The general belief expressed | 9 tha the minister of the Interor , Herr von Koellei must fall with tbe antl-molutlon bill. EMPEROR CHANGES HIS PLANS. The changed plans of the emperor respect Ing his summer pleatnire excursion ( It was originally his Intention to take a trip to Nor way ) , have caused a great deal of commen The truth Is the emperor Is displeased at th turn ef political affalra In Norway , espe daily aa he Is an admirer of King Oicar , an consequently feels It would be Improper fo him to visit tbe Norwegian coast exclusive ) , as heretofore. During a conference last Monday wit Prluce Hohenlohe , the chancellor , Frelher Marschal von Blerbersteln , the minister o attain , and Herr von Lucanlus , th chief of the emperor's civil cabinet , the above point ! ) were fully considered and'resulted In the decision to make a coasting , trip along the shores of Sweden and to pay a visit to Stockholm , Maltno , Gothentcrg ami a number of points remarkable for thvin scenery. His majesty will be the guet of King Oscar at Stockholm , where various court fetes have been planned In bis honor. An Interesting Incident has just become known and It Is one which will undoubtedly tend to make Emperor William more popular among the workingclasses. . In riding to the Temple Hoffcrtcldt on Tuesday to conduct the drill and maneuvers of the Second regiment of foot guards , his majesty noticed a laborer with a little crippled boy. The emperor called to the laborer and questioned him regarding the boy. As a result , his majesty gave or ders for two artificial lego lo be made at his expense lor the boy , and directed his physi cian , Dr. . Lcuthold , to look after the lad. A similar kindly action Is reported from Kaukehemcn , East Prussia , the beneficiary being a crippled sewing girl. The great military memorial fete planned to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the battles fought against the French In Au gust , 1870 , Is now being organized. It will take place at Frankfort-ori-the-Oder , around the memorial erected In honor of Prlnco Frederick Charles of Prussia. The emperor has given Instructions to facilitate excursion trlps of Germnn veterans to the battlefields of Alsace-Lorraine during the summer. Alfred Schoene , a young'German-American of Philadelphia , was recently arrested while visiting his parents at Caub , Prussia , and was pressed Into the naval service. Schoene was charged with deserting after six months' service , three years ago. He was taken to Swlnamundo orison. Mr. James Gordon Bennett has sent Phillips , the jockey , and three good American trotters to Berlin. The horses are entered In the principal events of the trotting season. Mr. Bennett has planned to attend the approaching fetes at Kiel In commemoration of the opening ot the Baltic and North sea canal. Ho will bo on boardiila steam yacht , accompanied by a party of friends. Emperor William Is hlglilr gratified at the splendid representation which the United States navy will have ntv Kiel , and ho has expressed himself repeatedly to that effect [ luring the past week.

At ten o'clock tonight ( Saturday ) tiie cor respondent of the Associated press heard a report emanating from scml-pfllclal sources , to the effect that despite the rumors cur rent In the lobby , It Is still probable that a modification of the anti-revolution bill will bo Introduced at an early date. In any event t Is almost certain that the Reichstag will not dissolve. Rumor has It that the govern ment Is apprehensive that In the present state of the temper ot the people elections would result favorably. Herr Rldnter , the radical leader , pro nesles another crushing defeat for the government next- week , when tha. tobacco bill Is up for action. The entire socialist jarty Is elated over the defeat of the anti-revolution bill. Mans meetings arc btlng held In-many places tonight and many are th'a , jtibllant speeches , that are being made. < Emperor William received bulletins hourly today of the proceedings Inthe ! Reichstag. Ho has made a statement to the effect that , acting upon the advice of Prince Hohenlohe , ho will not Interfere personally to bring about any results more In keeping with the wishes of the government leaders. The fact that Prince Hohenloho did not make a speech after the defeat ot the anti-revolution bill In the Reichstag today has created general sur- prlce. However , this attitude only conforms with his recent position on this measure. Ad dressing Herr Bronzart after the final vote liad been taken on the anti-revolution bill , he said : "Better thus than that the committee's bill had been defeated.

Acting on secret ad vices received from Peorla late Friday night , General McNultn , the receiver of the Whisky trust , went before Judge Shownlter In chambers today with a petition to have certain distilleries at Peorla and Pekln guarded by deputy United States marshals. Judge Showalter granted the petition and Chief Deputies Donnelly and McNutt , to gether with eight recruits , left for Peorla tonight. A largo squad will probably bj taken to Peorla Monday. The petition filed by General McNulta , with Judge Showalter's order granting It , was made public in the court. From this It appears that General McNulta fears that Grecnhut , and perhaps others of the old Whisky trust , will try to take forcible possession of several distilleries , or at least of the bonded warehouses at tached to them , In which largo quantities of spirits are stored. As a matter of Tact General McNulta's precautions were taken to protect the distilleries from dynamiters. Threats have repeatedly been made of late that two of the biggest trust houses in Peorla would bo blown up before Juno 1 Remembering the manner In which the Shufeldt distillery was dealt with before Its owners were frightened Into selling out. General McNulta decided to put a guard in the distilleries before It was fee late. .vc/rr ajirs vi' A 1'f.it.i of r.mj.virr . .vldrnco All In anil the Caaa Will Co to the Jury luotdny. TOPEKA , May 11. A special to the Capi tal from Atchlson rays : The prosecution In the case of James Nutt , who Is on trial for attempting to kill two persons in Atchlson county , completed Its testimony today. The defense may ba summed up as hereditary Insanity. Several witnesses testified that an aunt of Null's was so weak minded that a guardian was required for her , and that an uncle was also considered mentally weak. There was objection to this line of defense , but the court ruled that absolute Insanity In ancestry was a proper matter of Investi gation. Several of the witnesses who had seen Nutt frequently sincehe came to Kan sas had never noticed anything peculiar In his condition except that he disliked to talk about the Pennsylvania tragedy , in which he killed the Dukes. One witness testified as to nervousness and restlessness on the part ol Nutt. During the statement of the case by Null's attorney Nutt appeared much affected and occasionally wiped tears from his eyes. The case will reach the Jury next Tuesday Under the law if Nutt Is found guilty he can be given ten years In the penitentiary on each of the two counts , that being the ex treme limit.

UT THY : STOCD AT A SAFE DSTANCE Burglars Iioik Through and Run With out n Shot Being Fired. UPERIOR OFFICER EXPRESSES HIS ANGER llmself Afraid to ihoot for I'enr of lilt- 1111(7 Ills Subonllimicn Though They Wore Only 1'cerlnp ; Around the Corner of the Alloy. The first attempt at a safe blowing that hat occurred In the city for a good many montha was made last night shortly after 9 o'clock. In tha commission liouso of Fredrlcksen & Davles at 1201 Howard street. The Job was. undertaken by two men , both of whom es caped. They did not succeed In getting Into , the safe , only having tlmo to break off the knob of the safe before they were disturbed. They were discovered In the store by Frank Davles , a clerk and a son of one of the pro prietors. He went to the store to got n letter that ho had failed to mall and was about to. unlock the front door when he noticed two men kneeling before the safe , one of them holding a candle and the other working with a short crowbar at the lock. He went away noiselessly , and , going across the street to the Mercer hotel , telephoned the fact to the- police station. In answer to the message Sergeant Whalen and two ofllccrs , Marshall and Ilcntfrow , ar rived on the run. Whalen told the officers to go to the rear of the building and guard the back window , while he entered by the front door. After he had given them tlmo enough to reach their stations he quickly unlocked the door and entered , revolver In. hand. As soon as the key was put Into the- lock the burglars made for the back ot tt > e store on the run , kicked out the glass of the west window , dropped Into an alley In the- rear and running west along It for a short distance they turned off across vacant lots to Jackson street and then to Thirteenth street , , down which they escaped. THEY TOOK SAFE PLACES. Meanwhile Officers Marshall and Kentfrow , , who had been Instructed to take places at the rear windows , stood at the entrance to the alley on Twelfth street with their heada around the corner and their revolvers In tholr hands. They heard the breaking of the win dow and the footsteps of the burglars as they ran toward the west end of the alloy , but neither took after them or fired a shot. They- say that they thought that the alley was a. blind alley without an exit at the other end and that the burglars would either run Into , their arms or bo cornered. The only person who went after them was a newspaper re porter who had knowledge of the exit. Ha followed them to Jackson street , but was , afraid to risk a shot for fear of hitting soma passerby. The burglars had evidently a thorough knowledge of the store. This was partly shown by the quickness with which they made their escape. U was also shown by the obstruction In the shape of a wagon that had ! evidently been placed as a hindrance to any pursuers. The alley Is very narrow and dark and IS used solely to permit entrance to the. rear of the stores. Ono of the teamsters had left a wagon standing near the middle , but this had been drawn close to the entrance on Twelfth street. As It stood It almost shut off all entrance into the alley , as a passageway- of not more than two feet was left. On thjs account the officers , Marshall and Rentfrow , . say that with the time at their disposal they would not have had a chance to get into thl , alley. RANSACKED THE STORE FIRST. An examination of the premises showed that the safe crackers had entered by pryIng - Ing open the same window through which , they escaped. After entering they closed II. again , and , not having time to open It and ; make their escap ? , they broke the glass In , order to get out. They had gone through , the office in the front part of the store first , , lansacklng all the desks , cut did not flnij. much of value. They then turned their at tention to the safe , which was In anotliei office to the rear , but was plainly vlslbli from the outside ot the store. The knob ol : the safe had been pried off and was lying In. front of It. On the floor was a hand crowbar - , bar and a big chisel , but no drills , powder 01 other burglar tools could be found , either on , the premises or along their way ot flight , Even If the cracksmen had succeeded In the job they would not have obtained much fjr tholr pains , as there was very little money In the safe. Shortly before the men were discovered a watchman of the neighboring building states that he saw two men traversing the bloclc on Twelfth street between Howard and Jack * aon streets three or four times and they thn t disappeared. They were undoubtedly tha \ same men , for the descriptions given by tha , watchman tally with those of the people wt saw them as they ran. Both were rathe short and heavyset and were fairly well dressed. One had a white shirt and collar , wore a black coat and a black slouch hat , He had a rather light moustache. The ether wore a light coat and a light slouch hat. MADE THE SERGEANT ANGRY. After the affair Sergeant Whalen wai angry. When he entered the front door ho heard the safe blowers running to the r a and breaking the window before they go out. He could have shot at them , but wai afraid to do so , as ho thought that the oil- cm had followed his Instructlonu and h6 feared that be might hit them Instead of the burglars. He said that if the officers had obeyed him and , by crawling over the waggnj reached tbo window there wai no doubt [ QB both of the thieves would have been pture Before sending them around to tha rear tha sergeant said that be would send no man where he would not go himself , and trfereiorj took to himself the dangerous duty of enter } Ing the store. Fredrlcksen & Davles have been doing buiU ness at the corner for a little over a yeal and during that time tbe store has bean ; i } < teri-d five times , but last night was tbe first lime the safe was touched.
