LONDON, Jan. 11. (New York World Cn
blegtnm Special Telegram.) As Parlia
ment will open on Thursday, the politician
nro nlrer.dy gathering In London nnd the
air Is thick with party ruinorH. According
to one report, the Salisbury government will
Invite defent on the telephone scandal ns
convenient method of washing Its hands
of the war und Its consequences. Accord
ing to another story, It Is understood be
tween King Edward and Lord Salisbury
that If tho war Is not finished by the date
set for the coronation the marquis of Salis
bury will resign, whereupon tho king will
commission tho earl ot Kosebcry to form
an administration chlclly of llberal-lm-perlitllsts,
together with tho duko of Devon
shire nnd the marquis of LaliBdownu, to
bring tho war to an end, and that It this
ministry 1b defeated by tbn tory majority
In tho House of Commons the king will (Ha
noi vo Parliament. This would bo daring In
terference by tho king In party polities,
but It the war Is still going on In Juno
tho position will be desperate enough to
warrant any expedient.
Sir Robert Olffcn, ono of the highest
financial authorities In London, has been
discussing tho budget outlook In the Times.
With tho best will .Imaginable- toward tho
government and Us policy, he predicts a
deficit of $50,000,000. Moreover, lie says, tho
anticipated expenditure .of $600,000,000 may
now bo regarded as normal nnd enn no
longer bo provided by borrowing. Direct
taxation ho strenuously opposes, and would
reduce tho Income tax from 16 to 6 pence.
Ho would rniso $100,000,000 by Increased In
direct taxation on tea, sugar, beer and coal
and by new tnxes on grain, on petroleum
1 penny per gallon, and on timber.
Fnce tn I'noe with I'ct Aversion,
For Olffcn to advocate a groin duty, the
pet aversion of all free traders, Is equiva
lent to tho pope's denouncing Catholicism.
Dut tho cost of tho wur, together with the
Increased permanent outlay for armament,
rendered Imperative by the Jingo policy,
constitutes a financial omergency In the
faco ot which tho most cherished fiscal
theories count for nothing.
There ate sources ot wealth, such ns
ground rents, which would fairly yield a
largo rovonue, but they go untaxed be
cause the ground rents nre owned almost
wholly by tbo classes who govern England.
Imperial German Chancellor von Hue
low's stinging robuke of Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain for tho aspersion the latter
cast on the German army has created tho
bitterest resentment hore. Dut with Its
army marooned In South Africa, England
has to grin and bear such humiliation. Mr.
Chamberlain, It appears, recognizing his
lndlacrotlon, thought to disarm the Gor
man chancellor by convoying privately nnd
unofficially the assurance that bo had no
Intention of affronting Gorman feeling,
Dut, unfortunately for thin explanation, the
context of Mr. Chamborlaln's speech
showed that bis reference to Germany had
no meaning except as calculated to Insult.
Calls It Trlhute tit III flrrntncnn.
Rarely has a minister been placed In such
m. contemptible position as Mr. Chamberlain
Is now lu, yet, although his colleagues aro
fully conscious of bis perilous methods, they
fear htm personally. Ho will tolerato no
interference and Is firmly convinced that
the hatred he excttea abroad Is a tribute
to his greatness. ,
It is now believed that King Kdward will
find some excuse for not (tending the prince
of Wales to congratulate the kaiser on his
birthday. Tho German official statement
that the prince was not Invited by the
Icalsor until tbo king suggested It was suf
ficiently galling, but the chancellor's castl
nation ot the mct prominent Dritlsh min
ister renders the visit Impracticable. Tho
king has nn excuso ready to hand It needed,
It is now said that the Illness from which
Queen Alexandra suffered on Christmas was
chlckonpox and It Is further stated that the
reason tho prince and tho princess of Wales
abandoned their visit to Chatsworth at the
last moment was fear of convoying the con
tsglon to the aristocratic party assembled
there. This would be an equally good res
on for not going to Potsdam.

BERLIN, Jan. 11. Following closo after
the snub administered to Great Drltaln on
tho subject of tho prlnco of Wail's, earlier
In tho week (whon tho scml-umclal North
German Gazetto denied that Emperor Wll
llam had urged tho prlnco of Wales to visit
Berlin on the occasion ot his majesty's
birthday celebration, pointing out that the
prince had been invited at the request of
King Edward) tho North German Gazette
today pointedly denies that Emperor Wil
liam will attend cither tho memorial serv
lto in honor of the late Queen Victoria or
tho coronation of King Edward. Tho paper
aays tne statements In tho English papers
on the subject are untrue. Regarding the
coronation tho North German Gazette points
outitnat it is not in accordance with tradl
tlonal usage for sovereigns to attend the
coronation festivities of foreign monarchs.

(Copyright, I!i2, by Press Publishing Co,)
LONDON Jan. 11. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.)The return of
the Irish party to Westminster, In view of
Chief Secretary Wyndham's revival of
coercion, is looked forward to with decided
apprehension, The Irish party Is the only
present party now perfectly united. John
Redmond, who was elected chairman last
year as a measure of expediency, has been
re-elected thla year, with every ovldenco
of sincere enthusiasm. The coercion prose
cutions seem to have supplied that touch
of fire to the parly which has revived tho
old, fierce, fighting spirit. Not that tho
Irish members contemplate anything In the
nature of scenes or disturbance In Parlia
ment. On tho contrary, their policy will
be one of vigilance and activity, which ex
perience bus shown them to be the most
effective for their purpose.
Wyndhom Is being urgently pressed to
proclaim the United Irish leagues an Illegal
combination, thus transforming Its 200.000
members Into criminals. Dut Wyndham
docs not hanker after trouble of that kind
and tbo government's policy Is to minimize
the Irish trouble until the South African
republics are conquered.
No one knows absolutely whether Colonel
Lynch Intends to venture to take his seat
for Oalway or not. The authorities assert
that he will bo prosecuted for treason or
felony If ho sets foot here, nnd In the pres
ent state at feeling It would need little evi
dence to convince nn English jtiry that any
Irishman of nationalist politics deserved
penal fcrvltudc for life.
Again there are rumors of peace negotl
Hons between Hecretnry Chamberlain and
resident Krugcr. Indeed, Lord Mllncr's
extrnnrdlnaiy speech at Johannesburg Is
ntcrpretcd ns an attempt to balk n pos-
Ible settlement of terms other than un-
ondltlonnl surrender, and a settlement
which ho Is not concerned In making, Mr.
Chamberlain's paper at Illrmlngham this
week severely rates Ixird Londonderry, the
colonial secretary's cabinet colleague, for
declaring no settlement possible except on
the unconditional surrender bnsls.
Dut then Mr. Lcyds asserts positively that
he Doom are more than over confident
of wearing down the Ilrltlsh dotcrmlna-
lon, nnd no predictions nbout this war
have been so wholly borne out as those of
Lerds.
Tho Doers undoubtedly aro getting con-
Idcrable reinforcements from Cnpo Colony.
also from Europe, whence large supplies of
ammunition havo been sent them.
Lord Kitchener has asked within two
lays for nine irunboats. to imtrol the east
African coast to stop theso supplies.

LONDON, Jan. 11. (New York World Cn-
blegrnm Special Telegram.) Tho duchess
of Devonshire's annual Now Year's party at
Jliatawnrtb, although tho princess nnd
prlnco of WnIe'itfailod. In thlr engagement
to go, was nn Instance of magnificent enter
taining. Muriel Wilson was tho star In tho
private theatrical. She played with groat
success. First she appeared In a one-act
plcco by Wecdon Qrossmlth, called "A Com
mission," playing 'tho part ot a rich widow,
Mrs. Hammcrsley. Then sho appeared In
A Dream of the Now Year," representing
tho departing year and wearing sovcral
exqulslto costumes.
Princess Henry of Plcss, tho tallest of
English beauties, whoso- golden hair and
exqulslto complexion aro notablo, appeared
as a doll and danced and sang gracefully.
Whllo some of the men xtera out shooting
tho duchess nnd other womon formed bridge
tables and played all day. Large sums
changed hands, so tho visit proved an ex
pensive luxury for Bomo.
Among tho many explanations of tho ab.
sence of tho prince nnd princess of Wales
11 Is suggested that tho presenco of tho
princess of Plcss kept them away. But
royalties always seo tho list of proposod
guests before tho Invitations aro Issued nnd
usually reserve tho right to strike out any
name not acceptable. Tho princess of Wnles
might havo dono so if sho bad chosen to
tako exception to tho princess of Ploss
bocauso of the prince of Wales' former In
fatuatlon without any ono being tho wiser
except tho duchess ot Devonshire. Dcsldes,
the Wales only doclded not to go tho day
before the party assembled.
Tho duchess of Devonshire, sometimes
called the "Double Duchess," because her
first husband was tho duko ot Manchester
(tho present duke's grandfather), might also
bo termed "Duchess E"er Young and Fair,
for she retains to a icmarkablo degree,
though a. great-grandmother, tho beauty
which once wns world fnmous.

Tho other case Is that of a baker, who, In
order to punish his wife's unfaithfulness,
forced her Into a bread oven and slowly

Santos-Dumont, tbo noted aeronaut, winner
ot the M. Dcut8ch prize of $20,000 for en
circling tho Eiffel tower with bis nlrshlp,
when seen today, Indicated plainly that ho
was not only willing, but auxlous, to com
pete at tho St, Louis fair for tbo prize ot
$100,000 to go to tho inventor of nn ulr
machino that can be steered In any direc
tion In any ulr und ut will.
"I do not know," Buld he, "tho condi
tions of the greot prlzo to bo offered at
tho St. Louis exposition, but I nm qtlltu

"This shed alone, which I hnvo erected
for my experiments from here, cost mo
$20,000, and then there is the cost of my
airships. So you sec 1 must havo some
sort of n guarantee or 1 may bo heavily

M. Santos-Dumont has taken tho samo
ground with Sir Hiram Maxim, tho famous
American inventor, now u knight of tho
nrltlsh empire, who feels that if ho must
spend nbout $100,000 In order to compete
ho should havo a guarnnteo so that ho must
lose nothing It ho should fall to tako tho
first prize. Sir Hiram has suggested that
a guarantee of $100,000 would bo about
right.
Concerning his Immediate plans with his

tho result of many years of collecting ma
terials, that married persons live longer
than single persons. The death rate
among married peoplo botween 20 and 30
years of age Is 6.7 per 1,000; unmarried, S;
between 30 and 40, married, 0.1, unmnrrled,

married. 26.5; from 60 to 60. married. 24,
unmarried, 12; between 60 nnd 70, mar
ried, 45, unmarried, 74. These figure
show that tho deaths of married persons
between 30 and 70 aro tbreo-flfths less
than unmarried. Tho average life of the
unmarried person who passes 31 Is 5S.6; of
the married 64.4,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. (Special Tele-
fjruui.) Senator Dietrich Joined Senator
Millard today In a cotumunlcntlou to Sec
retary Hitchcock, recommending the re
appointment ot W. It. Akcrs as receiver
of tho United States land ortteo at Alliance.
A letter, which wns signed Jointly by thu
senntors from Nebraska, said: "Wo re
quest the reappointment ot Mr. Akcrs,
whoso record has becu exceptionally
good."
For register nt Alllanco thcro will bo
a contost, In all probability. J. R. Van
Dosklrk bus been figuring to receive the
support of both senators for F. M, Dor-
rlngtou's plnce, but so far as can bo ascer
tained Senator Dietrich Is averse to com
mitting himself so far In advance, thu of
fice not being vacant until August. Van
Dosklrk anys ha received D, E. Thompson's
promise to make him register nt Alllnncu
In the event of Thompson's election lo tho
senate, but Thompson having failed ho
thought Mr. Dietrich would mako good tiny
promises tho Lincoln man might havo
made. Dietrich evidently docs not see It
lu this light, and Vnn Dosklrk will go homo
without having secured Scnntor Dietrich's
pledge- to be for him when tho time comes
for action.
Sidney t.niiil Olllce lleccli ernhlp,
III tbo Sidney land ofllco receivership,
which Is vacant ou Monday, Mr. Harris,
tbo present Incumbent, will undoubtedly
be reappointed, as be bns no opposition
and Is strongly Indorsed by republicans of
that district. While thu senators havo
not had a conference on this position, It Is
thought Senator Dietrich will Join his col
league lu recommending Harris.
Tho fight over tho Fremont postofllco is
brondonlng to such nn extent thtit It now
taken In tbo leading railroads ot tha state,
the Union Pacific and Elkhnrn championing
R, D. Schneider's candidate, Ross Ham
mond, whllo tho Darlington in backing
Bwnnson, who Is Lvpp. Richards' candidate.
I). E. Thompson also has appeared tn the
fray and It 1 understood is "urging Swan-
son, it is a pretty Imttlo for supremacy. ,
Mr. Schneider being intent upon vindica
tion, as Is Mr, Richards. If somn third mnn
could be Induced to enter the lists It might
cleur tho atmosphere considerably.
.Indue linker on Hnrtley fuse.
Judgo Haker camo out lu tho open today
and said that Governor Savaga had killed
himself politically by pardoning Hartley.
"People of tho state," Mild he, "havo be
come so greatly Incensed over his action In
this legnrd that IiIh party will not daro
try to nominate, him again for governor.
Over nine-tenths of the uowspapars aro
against him becntmo of tho Hartley affair,
and tho rnnk and tllo of tho peoplo ara
much displeased. As a trial Judgo, It looks
to me, after going over tho entire, case, ns
If Hartley had simply taken tho money,
and there was nothing to do hut to sen
tence him. His appenrance lu court was
much tigalnet him, ns he remained stolid
and sullen, refusing to do anything to clear
himself."
Halleck F. Rose of Lincoln Is In Wash
ington to represent his client, 1). E.
Thompson, who has a case In tho supreme
court which will bo reached either Monday
or Tuesday, Thompson Is defendant In a
suit brought by the receiver of the Capital
National bank of Lincoln, wherein It Is al
leged that Thompson, who was a stock
holder, knowing tho bank was about to fall,
turned his stock over to a person who
could not he held liable. Thompson plcnds
tho statute ot limitation, and tho nrgumoui
will bo along thoso lines.
