LONDON , Oct. 10. ( 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.

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.

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.

first conceived , Sir John Pcnder , who
risked his capital and Sir James Anderson ,

REVIEWS FRENCH TROOPS.
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

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

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.

EDINBURGH , Oct. 10. 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. This policy has
.iroduccd . tiva results , llrst , the excitement
of an nlinoEt Intolerable ) desire ; of envy In
the othei colonizing nations , entailing their
malevolence Instead ot their bcnovolcnco ;
dccond , the making of an unwieldy cmplro ,
llfflcult to administer nnd to defend unless
a long period of peace effects consolidation , "
The liberal expremlcithen continued
engthlly to argue for his own panacea ,
namely , the concert of Europe , Unless his
retirement should produce unity , Lord Rose-
icry Bald , the pucrlflcc will bi > made In vain.
fie ndvised that whoever was chosen leader
hey should nuppoit him loyally , for a united
party behind an Inferior leader was better
: han a disunited party behind thu best
eailer. He predicted that Mr. Asrjulth'tt '
qualities of head and heart would eventually
ead him to the highest ofllco In the ctate.
Augustine Dlrrell , member of parliament
for the West Division of Fife , then moved
a resolution requesting that Lord Hosetcry
shall reconsider hla resignation , This was
