( Now York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Paradoxical though It Is , Lord Rosebery's resignation has given him a power and force In his party greater than at any moment since he came into the premiership. His speech last night nt Edinburgh confirms his renewed leader ship , except that It will obviously bo actual hereafter , whoever may bo the nominal leader of the party , instead of the disputed , anxious and Ineffective position he has here tofore held. When I gave to the World In advance oven of any London newspaper the au thoritative fact that ho had been summoned to Windsor and offered the premiership by the queen , I ventured the observation that the political world was very doubtful whether he would turn out the mere farceur or the great statesman. Ho has been a goad deal of the farceur dur ing hit ; term ot nominal leadership. His extraordinary statement last night of the obstacles by which ho has been opposed within his own ranks , not only explains bis half humorous cynicism of the past two years , but la a revelation of Insldu politics , I think , unprecedented In Kngllsh history. But the exposition he makes of his views on the Armenian question puts him In a night In the position of n leading states man of Great Britain. Except for the protest ot the Chronicle this morning , the press of all parties Is unanimous today In unstinted pralso of his lofty and convinc ing 'statement ot the situation , even the tory journals being surprised out of them- eclvcs to praise It without reservation. "Lord Rosebery's powerful and , patriotic epeech1 ' the Times terms it , the first even favorable notice of the liberal noble man's politics I have ever seen In Its columns. CURIOUSLY INTERESTING INCIDENTS. In the throes of your own great political crisis you may not bo Just now greatly interested in this really momentous develop ment of politics here , but the World may make up Its mind that the lord of Dalteny has stepped in two days and a night Into a power In the destinies ot this empire such as no man of the present time , nor since Pitt , has occupied. It may also bo of some Interest to state that the prediction was made In this correspondence of May 1C , 1S9-I. that If forced by circumstances to resign the leadership , his chosen successor would bo Henry Asqulth , "an entirely Belt- made man , who ten years ago was prob ably not known by name to a thousand voters. " Yesterday Lord Rosebery In set terms verified this prediction by formally nominating Mr. Asqulth as his choice for the leadership. It la also of Home curious Interest that Lord Roscbcry's Inaptly named horse , Quai rcl , was today beaten In the Duke of York stakes nt Kempton park. Whether this may bo regarded as a good or bad omen as to the internecine divisions of the labor parly U open lo question. Ills lordship's Chll- adry won Its owner 3,000 guineas In the Imperial Produce stakes yesterday. Ghlfc lane , the E-ycar-old nomination of the new flrm of Plerro Lorlllard and Lord William Beresford ran fourth at odds of CO to 1. CASE OF THE CASTLES. The press dispatches have already given you details of the arrest of Mr. Castle , his wife and boy for alleged theft by Mrs. Castle of furs from London shops. Their solicitor today frankly admitted Mrs. Castlo's guilt to the representative of the World. Mr. Walter Castle and Mrs , Castle will bo again charged In custody at the pollco court on Wednesday with the rob- horles. Mr. Michael Abrahams , their so licitor , has employed Mr. Charles Mathews , moon's counsel , to defend them at the next hearing before the magistrate. 'Mr. Abra hams is n criminal lawyer of wide experi ence and great ability and ho declared to- lay ho had no doubt It would bo shown Mrs. Castlj was not responsible for hur actions when she appropriated the goods Ha said : "I have had her examined by some lead ing specialists In mental diseases and have no tloubt the Judge will admit that her symptoms as to warrant the defense 'kleptomania. ' She suffers from pains In the head , from complete loss ot memory and from other Irregularities which , according to medical science , are known to be fre quently associated with delusions. There was no reason In life why cha should have taken thfso few trumpery bits of fur , Tbo \vholn \ Jot ls not \\orlh , oven on the fur rier's valuation , more than 20 , She has a well-to-do husband who Is willing to sat isfy her every want and , Rlnce tha case was bcfoie the magistrate has had numerous telegrams from Americana here and cablc- grams from San Francisco offering any helper or certificates of character Hint may he in quired for Mr. Castle anil hla wfo | , who urn evidently well Known and icspccted , There nro several Americans who are prepared to go ircuilty far them to the sum of 1,000 , and even seine banks have communicated with me , offering to do anything they could to acslit him. " WHY BAIL WAS REFUSED , "Then how do you account for the action of tfie niatjUtrate In refuting to tltow them out on Imlir "Became the London pollco opponent the request. The police fancied ( I don't know jvbciher they have , been tnllghti-ncd * the subject ilnrc ) that ( hey had captured a piiir ot professional uuopliftcrs. Of COUI-&P the idea Is rlJItulous , Mr. Castle was as Ignorant ot what his wife had done as you \\fto , and It came M a filghtfuj revelation to him , but lu > ha * known that bin wife has bceu subject at certain periods la mcutal 4elu leus and losa cf memory , tni that th appropriation ot these paltry articles was the result of such condition ot mind. " "Where are they confined ? " "In Holloway prison. Mrs. Castle Is In the side for women and untried prisoners. Her husband Is In tlio men's side. The boy has been taken charge of by friends. It Is really a painful case. I have no doubt that at the next hearing Mr. fs : tlr will be released from custody , but following the usual course In such cases , when our counsel has pub lished the plea that Mrs. Castle acted under , n delusion , she will be sent for trial hcforo n Judge at sessions. Her case will be de cided In a month or six weeks. We shall apply for ball again Wednesday and I hope she will bo released on recognizances we can offer. 1 saw the secretary of the American embassy yesterday and he said that anything the embassy could do to safeguard the Inter ests of Mr. and Mrs. Castle they would be glad to do. The whole fact of the matter Is , In short , that Mrs. Castle did take these articles , but her husband Is perfectly Inno cent of any knowledge whatever of her doing so. I. have had many such cases In my ex perience and feel quite confident , with the expert evidence at our disposal , we shall be able to set up a successful defense of klep tomania. Mrs. Castle will then bo liberated on her husband's ' promise to take charge ol her. They have not been long In Europe , only a few weeks , I understand. It was their first trip after marriage , Mr. Castle having now attained a sufficient fortune to think of enjoying himself. They had been on the continent and had como to England to visit oomc of his relatives In this country. It has been a sad termination tea a Journey towhich they had both been long looking forward. " Prom , another source a World reporter gathered that a fresh charge of stealing some toast racks frcm the breakfast table at the Hotel Cecil , where they were stay ing , would bo brought against Mrs. Castle at thu next hearing. Mr. Abrahams , how ever , said that he had not been notified of any fresh charge. The police authorities at Vine Street police station'decline to make any statement whatever on the case , refus ing even to say whether they would , oppose ball being granted at the next hearing. Y. It. A. SIMPLY STANDS PAT. The Niagara scandal Is still absolutely Ignored by the dally morning English press , a very conclusive evidence that there is nothing to bo said In favor of the Yacht Racing association , but the Yachtsman , In an article already cabled you , condemns that body in terms of scathing sarcasm , but I am very creditably Informed , nevertheless , that the Yacht Racing association will not recede from Its past stiff-necked attitude , and will not only not apologize or even ex plain , but will content Itself by simply acknowledging the receipt of Howard Gould's letter. The meeting of the council was set for yesterday , but was postponed until Mouday next. Howard Gould was to have sailed In the St. Paul today , but gave us his passage. The American auxiliary yach Intrepid , Lloyd Phoenix , owner and commander , aboard. Is reported at Funchal , after a five and a half day's sail from Southampton , and was to resume on October C her Journey to New York. A report reaches me through private sources tonight apparently creditable In every respect , but not sufficiently definite ns yet to permit names being given , that a famous American beauty and heiress from a western state , who married some years ago a member of the reigning family in one ot the oldest continental principalities , has Just eloped with a musician in a Hungarian band , following the example of her mar ried brother , who some time since eloped from his wife and children with the maid of an English lady ot title. BALLARD SMITH. CASTLE SHOWS SIRXS OP WOHIIY. HeRliiH to Peel tlio Effe.e. < H of HU Coii- Uiiemeiit In I'rlNoii. LONDON , Oct. 10. Walter M. Castle , the wealthy Californlan , who , with his wife , Is confined in Holloway Jail on remand , charged with stealing valuable furs , etc. , from shops In this city , showed signs to day ot suffering from his confinement in prison and from the worry Incident to It. He said to a friend : "I don't know how I can ever buckle to again , I am dazed by this calamity. " A cousin of the Castles , who Is at' pres ent In this city , said to a representative of the Associated press today : "Tho charges are absolutely ridiculous. Two largo packIng - Ing cases full of presents were sent to my house In Hyde Park direct from the stores where the goods were bought. How could they bo stolen ? The Castles have been abroad for a year and had a largo number ot commissions from society friends In San Fracclsco and they have also been largo purchasers of kulclt-knacks , etc. " Evidence will bo produced that some time ago Mrs. Castle's health was such that Dr. Gabriel of this city was called. Ho found Mrs. Castle suffering from pains in the liead. It was settled yesterday evening that an application would bo made for ball before the pilsouers are brought up on remand on Tuesday next. The prisoners will bo defended by Charles Matthews. A number of additional cable messages of sympathy lievo been received from people In Amer ica and England and Mr. Mackncar , a mer chant ot San Francisco , now residing In Liverpool , called to offer hla assistance.

( Copyright , 1SOC , by the Associated Tress. ) LONDON , Oct. 10. The attention of Europe may be said to have been concen trated during the week upon the visit of the czar and czarina to France , and the most enthusiastic reception accorded them In the French capital. lu _ this connec tion the feature which Is causing the great est amount of gossip Is the luncheon given by the czar on Wednesday at the Russian embassy to the representatives of the French royal family. It Is true that M. Hanotnux , the French minister for for eign affairs , General de Bolsedeffro , chief of the general staff , and Ad miral Gervala , attached to the personnel of the empress during her stay In France , were present , nut the other guests Included the due d'Aumale , thesduc and duchess do Chartlcr , the duchess dc Magenta , the duchess do Lulncs , the duchess do Italian , the due do Doudeavllle. the due do la Rochefoucauld , the duchess d' Uzzes and "Princess Mathlldc alone saved the party the prince de Snudonato and aunt of Prince Napoleon Victor Bonaparte , head of the Bonaparte family. The presence of the princess Matholdc alone 'saved the party from being a distinctive Orleanlst delega tion. The duchess presented the czarina with a bouquet from the due do Orleans , the pretender to the -throne of France , and her majesty sent him her most cordial con gratulations. The whole affair was most cleverly managed and even the fiercest radi cals have not dared to protest against It. CAUSES MUCH TALK. All sorts of Interpretations are being placed upon the Incident , but the fact re mains that from the hour he landed at Cherbourg the czar behaved In a most con servative and diplomatic manner , pleasing almost everybody , while offending but very few people. The cZar , previous to leaving- Balmoral castle , after his visit to Queen Vic toria , gave $5,000 for distribution among the servants and left a packing case full of the most expensive Jewels , bracelets , rings , pins , etc. , to be presented to all above the rank of servants. A sensation was caused at the church con vention at Shrewsbury during the week by a fierce- attack made upon the pope's bull , re ferring to the Anglican order by the arch bishop of Cork , Lord Halifax , the bishop of Salisbury and others. The bull was described as the misuse by the pope of the fairest chance man ever had. since the six teenth century for promoting unity , and the bishop of Salisbury suggested that the bull "sets us free to do the work which llest nearest without so much regard for the ul terior consequences. We are free to follow the path open to us by Divine providence , and create an Independent world-wide com munion " The bishop suggests that the first step for the Anglicans to take Is to create a union of policy with the Presby terians. Over 1,000 members of the Baptist union in congress at Bristol during the week held a spirited meeting and were most cordially treated by all denominations , including a town reception by the mayor , etc. IN MEMORY OF CYRUS FIELD. At a meeting of the International Sub marine Telegraph company during the w'eek , with Lord Selborne In the chair , it was de cided to inaugurated a submarine telegraph company memorial throughout the civilized world in order to honor three men , Cyrus W. Field , who first conceived , Sir John Pcnder , who risked his capital and Sir James Anderson , who captained the Great eastern. Lord Selborne announced that the scheme had re ceived the sanction and encouragement of the queen. The form of the memorial was not decided upon , but it will bo a scholar ship and a homo for engineers. The late Sir John Millals , president of the Royal academy , left a fortune of $1,250,000. Before the Winchester city bench on Fri day , the ctso of the queen against Earl Russell , involving a grave charge made against his lordship In 1SS7 , the public prosecutor said that the spot where the alleged offense took place was outsldo tlio [ urisdlctlon of tbo court and In consequence : ho case failed. Lady Scott , the mother-in-law of Earl lussoll , was arrested at a hotel in the Strand last evening. The charge against ler Is criminal libel , preferred by Earl Russell. She was arraigned at Bow street ) ollco court today In company with two ouths , who are Included In the charge. Carl Russell has attained much unpleasant lotorlety through divorce proceedings brought against him by his wife , daughter of the late Sir Claude Edward Scott , and litigation growing out of that suit. Lady Russell obtained a separation , later sued for a restoration of conjugal rights and was defeated In April , 1895. After the pre liminary examination of Lady Scott and the two youths had been concluded at Bow street police court today the case was ad. Journed until Monday next. Later In the day Scott was released on furnishing ball In $5,000 , The success of the Norwich musical festi val has been complete. Mackenzie's "Rose1 of Sharon , " drew forth enthusiastic plaudits from the prince of Wales , the princess LouUe and the duchess of York , who were present In private. The officials of Scotland Yard bellove that the extradition of J. P , J. Tynan , the4 alleged dynamiter from France , will de pend bolely upon whether France desires most to conciliate the United States or Great Britain. It Is also explained at Scot land Yard that tbo failure to obtain the extradition ot Kearney and Halnes was be came , although it Is a crime in Belgium ( o possess explosives , It U not a crime In that city to possess the materials for mail' ufacturing explosives wblcb are regarded. In tbo tame light as expUjslve. ! . For this reason the authorities re "bonding every effort to ascertain It Ivory purchased glycerine or acids. The United States State department baa asked Consul General Col lins to report on Ivory's rase. The appointment of Lord Bagot as one of the lords In wailing hhs angered the lory peers. Ho was appolnfed without con sulting the marquis of .Salisbury and In or der to please t the Prtnceis Louise. Lord Bagel was alcle-Je-canip to her husband , the marquis ot Lorujs when the tatter was governor general of' Canada. BAYARD DECLINES TO TALK. The United States ambassador , Mr. T. F. Bayard , returned ( a the embassy on Tuesday from a visit to Sir Richard Web ster at Gilford , and left again on Tuesday for Scotland , from whence ho will return at the end of October. Mr. Bayard was i skcd to speak at an Armenian meeting , bj' ho wrote declining the Invitation on the ground that It was not wise to Interfere In a political movement In the country to which ho was accredited. Mrs. do Navarro ( Mary Anderson ) and her Infant son are progressing very favor ably. It Is whispered that she adores the little mlto and seems to Jjo happier than she has been for many years past.

PARIS , Oct. 10.The review of the French army was a decided success , and some of tbo finest troops In the- nation participated In It. The scene from the reviewing slant ! presented a most Imposing picture. All points of the horizon were outlined by masses of troops , horse * and guns. After the welcoming ceremonies were ended the czar and czarina entered barouche , drawn by six horses and ridden bj artillery men , who acted as postillions. The carriage started away at a gallop amid wild cheers from the throngs , tbo cheering continuing until the Imperial party reached the military headquarters. As the Imperla ] cortege arrived there a trumpet sounded , am ; Immediately all the bugle ; and drums and the hundreds of bands present broke out Into a strain of martial music , the troops pre sented arms and the officers saluted. The czar then mounted a charger , and surrounded by a brilliant suite and fol lowed by the carriage containing the czarina and President Faure , rode down the front of each regiment. As his majesty arrived before each regiment , Its' band struck up the Russian hymn , "Llfo to the Czar , " which was followed by the "Marseillaise. " After each detachment had been Inspected and the customary salutes exchanged , the czar and czarina and president Fauro en tered the grand stand , t'nfl tbo march past began at 1 o'clock. . Tbo marching and dressing were magnificent and the splendid appearance and fitness of the troops caused a spontonecus outburst 'of ' cries from thou sands of throats " ' " of "Vive J'armee. The review ended vlth n magnificent charge of cavalry , led by General Billet , the minister of war , iwho _ drew up the squadrons within flvo yahla of the reviewing stand and grand stand and almost at the feet of the czar and czfrlna and President Fauro , whereupon the ctar touched his cap n a military salute , eliciting another out- jurst of enthusiasm. Ills majesty after wards summoned General Ballot and warmly praised the troops , ? ' At the banquet which followed tha review President Fauro addressed the czar , saying : "Your majesty Is about to1 leave us after a stay which will leavo'juv.

( Copyright , 1SK ! , by the Afsoclntcil Press. ) U13RLIN , Oct. 10. The reception of the czar In France during the past week has engrossed public attention In Germany to the exclusion of everything else. The vlows expressed on the subject diner greatly. The preponderance of opinion Is that It bodes no good to European peace. The official press has been very cautions , but this was not the ' case with the Independent press. Tho'Tageblatt says ; "If the Zwelbund pur sues the aims of the revanche of the pa triots of the Parisian boulevards , It may easily happen that France will have to decorate other statues on the Place do la Concorde with mourning symbols. " The Centrist Volks Zeitung remarks : "Rus sia in the double garno she Is playing be tween Franco and Germany Is perpetrating a gigantic fraud. " The Cologne' Gazette says : "It Is evident that the mass of Frenchmen nurse Russian friendship only In the hope that Russia will help them win back Alsace-Lorraine. " A resident diplomat , representing ono ol the Drelbuud powers , In conversation with the correspondent of the Associated presj , dwelt upon the fact that the czar carefully avoided using the word "alliance. " Dut It Is thought that , nevertheless , Russia and France will henceforth , at least for a time , go together. Ho added that the clement ol Insecurity was In the fact that the alms of the Zwelbund were stutllously'concealed. If they were purely defensive , he continued , why should Europe be kept In the < la"rk. Continuing , this diplomat said : "In the meantime the Dreibund will continue to strengthen its hands by agreements with other friendly powers. Ono thing Is cer tain the double dealing and cunqlue of Russian diplomacy has gained e. great trl- -umiilii DutIt * - cannot . last- * the Zwebuml | being a disturbing element , -while Russia requires peace to accomplish her designs In the east. The Dreibund , therefore , will re main , In splto of the momentary success of Russian diplomacy , tfie dominant factor In European polltlps. " KAISER'S BYES OPEN. Emperor William has been kept fully in formed of the czar's doings and saylags by special couriers to Huberstock , and he is reported to have said to Prince Hohrt.lolie : "I have the fullest confidence m tha czar. " This confidence , however , ID not shared in official circles. The crown council on Wednesday last drew up the program for the coming session of Parliament. Bills for the conversion of tbo 4 per cent Prussian and Interior loans will precede the budget , but of the savings thereby made , 18,090,000 marks will be devoted to Increasing the salaries of government officials. Emperor William was long In doubt as to the wisdom of the conversion of the loans , In view of the thousands of petitions against this policy received from persons In straitened circumstances. But his majesty was convinced of the necessity of so doing by Dr , Mlquel , the minister o'f ' finance , and by the Bavarian conversion. The question ot using electric traction on Prussian railways was also considered by the crown counsel , and a mass of statistics from the United States and other countries * was gone through. Eventually It was de cided to experiment on small lines next year. Overhead currents will bo employed. The conciliation of Emperor William and his brother , Prlnco Henry ot Prussia , Is now effected. The prince will reside during the coming winter at the royal castle of Kiel. BERLIN SMALL TALK.

The Kmplro thea ter here was packed with 4.0UO auditors iaal night to listen to the earl of Rosebcry , thu retiring leader of the liberal party. It waa his agreement to speak at this meeting which precipitated Lord Rosebcry's action In resigning. In his letter to Mr. Ellis , the first liberal whip , Lord Roscbery said In explanation of his resignation : "When I speak , which I do this week , I must speak my mind without reference to party. " Tremendous enthusiasm greeted Lord Rosebery upon his appearance before the audience , the whole assembly singing "Ho's a Jolly Good Fellow. " The earl was pale with suppressed feeling when he arose to make his address. He said , In part , that ho had resigned because , bo could not sacrifice national Interests to personal am bition. He welcomed the national agitation In Great Britain on behalf of Armenia , be. cause It would convince foreign governments of Great Britain's unselfish Integrity and would strengthen the hands of the govern ment. But the present agitation , Lord Roscbery pointed out , differed from Mr. Gladstone's Bulgarian agitation. Then Great Britain was supported by Russia. Ho added : "Now wo have Russia and her armies against us. Russia's declarations on this point aie absolutely conclusive. " Regarding the proposal to place the Dav- .danelles of Turkey in the hands ot Russia , Lord Rosctcry pointed , out that neither of these was Great Britain's to dispose ofs"arnl''prffvloirain thods , he raid , were nol so Ideal cs to warrant us In acquiescing. Ho also differed from , Gladstone's proposal to cut oif diplomatic relations with Turkey , but they differedho , added , as friends. The speaker even deprecated the proposal of such a thing , as It would not only de prive Great Britain ot all her influence with Turkey , but might drive us Into war and Its failure would leave Great Britain In the same position , plus the public hu miliation of confessing her Impotence. The speaker added : "I cannot agree with Mr. Gladstone that the possibility of war Is a phantasm. My knowledge to a very recent time was that a fixed and resolute agree ment existed of all or nearly all the powers to forcibly resist any single-handed Inter vention by England In eastern affaire. I earnestly protest against a policy Involving the horrors of an European war , preceded as this certainly would bo by the extermina tion of the Armenians , lu whoso behalf it would be waged. "Such a war would transcend twenty Flodden fields and the ghastly phantom of the death angel , which legend says ap peared over Edinburgh on the eve of the battle of Floddcn , would appear to every hamlet , village and town of the kingdom to summon the flower of your youth and manhood to sacrifice their lives. Any min ister engaging In such a war , except from the direst necessity , would be a criminal In hla country. ' ' Enlarging further upon this topic , Lord Rosebery expressed the opinion that the British colonies would take the view of this as did the United States , "which , al though willing to Join In diplomatic , would deprecate Invoking the arbitrament of the sword on a question not directly concerning their vital Interests. " "Peace , " Lord Rosebery affirmed , "Is a necessity of your empire. For the last twenty years you have been laying hands with frantic eagerness on every available and desirable tract of territory. The terri tory thus brought Into your possession or sphere of Inducncc In the last twelve years te 2,500,000 square mllea.

He predicted that Mr. Asrjulth'tt ' qualities of head and heart would eventually ead him to the highest ofllco In the ctate.

( Copyright , ISM , by tlia Aryoclated Press. ) LONDON , Oct. 10. The dispatch ot Drltlah naval reinforcements to Zanzibar- has renewed Interest In the situation there and Is universally Interpreted as a demon stration against Germany , as the condition of affairs In Zan/.lbar doca not Justify such. measures. It Is admitted here that Ger many had the technical right to rcmovo Khalld from the consulate at Zanzibar , but the ostentatious method adopted and the crowing tone of the German press In con nection with the affair , openly declaring : that the measure was a slap In the face for Great Britain , has acted like a bellows. lo the anti-German lire burning In this country. The Spectator urse.i the govern ment to Immediately annex Zanzibar as en answer to Germany's unfriendly act. An Important feature of the Drills ! ) com ment on the czar's visit to Purls baa been the crjuanlmity with which the Incident was legardcd , This may bo accounted for by the fact that Great Hrltnln , since her estrangement from Germany , has been eager to regard the czar's visit and the demonstrations of the French pcoplo BH on ( iff sot to the Drclbund and a humiliation to Germany , It Is evident , too , that the Brit ish relations with Fiance have In no way Kiown worse since the czar's visit to Bal moral , Hemaiks like that of the Roma , which saya the Drelbuml will bo In a peril- OUR condition If an entente between Russia , France and Grunt Britain Khali bo brought about , are being quoted In the English news papers with eoimlderable satisfaction. It Is almost Impossible to exaggerate the. feeling In Great Britain against Germany at the present moment , caused by offensive articles In the German press. The Glebe epitomizes the general opinion of the British press in the remark ; "If Great Britain l so unfortunate as lo Incur the auger ot Germany , wo have no doubt as to the r - suit.
