(New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Arthur Balfour, Great Britain's Dew prime minis ter, is one of the few remaining really Interesting and attractive flgurea in Eng lish public life. In appearance he is tall, ,sleoder, willowy and distinguished looking, with the scholar's stoop and the head of a philosopher. He wears eyeglasses. His gray eyes are mildly contemplative. His whole demeanor suggests In one aspect a yielding gentility and a modesty. In deed an effeminacy, which has earned him the nickname of "Clara.". Ha combine! the Indolence of a man of Indifferent physique with ardent devotion to golf, cycling and motoring. He Is an ac complished musician, a One player on the piano, and haa been known to aing senti mental songs. He enjoys lying abed until noon reading French novels or philoso phical treatises. It Is one of his affecta tions that he never reads the newspapera. All his movements are languid. His fa vorite posture In the House of Commons Is ona of spineless prostration, his feet resting on the edge of the table, his head sunk on his chest, his arms hanging life lessly by his side. The cssual observer 'often fancies ha Is In a state of collapse. Change When Reused. ' When roused he undergoes a startling transformation. Hla llatlessness la re placed by an Intense nervous energy. He gesticulates passionately and his voice vi brates with anger. But he la maintain ing perfect mental control while be pours out a flood of biting ridicule on his vic tim. It was In fighting the Irish party as chief secretary of Ireland from 188T to 1891 that he made bis reputation. He placed the first permanent coercion act on the Statute books. ' It gave his Irish officials absolute license In administration and unflinchingly Justified their every act. That was hia Idea of a resolute govern ment. , It resulted In such excesses that Mr. Gladstone again got a majority, owing to the revulsion of feeling In England. .. Arthur Balfour la the most unbusinesslike leader the House of Commons has bad In the memory of living man. 1 He Is entirely devoid of method or capacity tor manage ment. In every succeeding session his blunders, arising mainly from aheer neg lect, have dlacouraged and enraged his fol lowers, but they have borne with him because of their respect for his brilliancy aa a debater and becauae he la the only obstacle to Joseph Chamberlain's asoendancy, which they dread. But Mr. Chamberlain Is so rapidly gaining the upper hand that In another year Mr. Balfour's succession to the premiership would have been Impos sible. The favorite summing up in com paring the two men la: "But Balfour Is a gentleman." That Is the one secret of his bold on the house. He la a gentleman to his finger tips; cultivated, refined, well bred, unobtrusive and somewhat superior, ut undeniably fascinating. ' i Socially Very Exclusive. "Arthur, X fear, thinks us a vulgar lot," aid Sir William Harcourt, when aomeone poke of Mr. Balfour's elegant aloofness toward the Houaa of Commons. Socially he la exceedingly exclusive. His friends re found among "the souls," which eoterle Include several very beautiful and clever women. He la a confirmed bachelor of 54 years, though be delights in women's society and throws an extraordinary glamour over them. It la aald that he once proposed to the rsptlvattng "Margot" Tennant, now Mrs. Herbert H. Asqulth, " but hia Intimates laugh at the story. He has been very at tentive to different women. Of late years, wherever he goes, a certain coterie of tnarrled women with whom he haa Intel lectual afflnltlee Lady Elcho. Lady Oraoby, Lady Helen Vincent, Mrs. W. H. Grsnwell and Mrs. Leopold Rothschild always are Invited to meet him. Last Saturday evening, after he had ac cepted the premiership, he motored to Mrs. Grenwell'a residence at Taplow to Join house party of his set. He remained ver night and vas In the gayest aplrlta, but never mentioned one word about the pollltcal crisis, even to the favored, few, who were left to learn It from Monday's newspapers with the rest of the world. Mr. Balfour la a wealthy man, having an Inoome of nearly 1100,000 a year outalde of Ills official salary of 125,000. He haa a handsome town mansion on Carlton Gar- nena. aown town apartmenta at No. 10 Downing atreet, and a delightful country gtous at Whlttlngbame, In Scotland. Prefers to Write Standing. : Mr. Balfour has a decided nredlUrtlnn for standing while Writing or studying, and Is always mora er less 1U at c&j it he Baa to do hla correspondence whilst aeated. Even when writing hla nightly letter to hla sovereign during the sitting of the House Of Commons Mr. Balfour would much pre fer to be able to etand to the work than to have to do It with the wrftlng paper reatlng on hla knees. Th desk which he uses In Downing street he haa used for vsry many years. He keeps a tall candle In a candlestick constantly upon It, ao as to be ready If needed In the waning light er a dark London day. He reclines some what lastly with on arm resting on the desk when penning an ordinary letter until It haa - been necessary to use his left hand to keep the paper in position. The desk stands closs by a window that over looks the garden - behind the houae and Which commands a capital view of St James park. Mr. Balfour Is an omnivorous reader and patron oi ine arts. He established a record by paying the late Burne-Jonea 75,000 for his picture eutltled "The Legend of the Brier Rose." He slso haa averal valuable Whistler nocturnes, as wen aa a portrait by him. He la such a victim to seasickness that he never undertakes a aea vovaca. Since he left Ireland he never has been off this Viand, NEGUS WILLN0T VISIT FAIR Cannot "pare Time, Though lie Ad mires Americana, Particu larly Roosevelt. (Copyright 19T2. by Pr.'ss Publishing Co.) PARIS, July (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) Has Makon nen, the nephew and heir presumptive to the throne of Abyssinia, who Js being en tertained, with his numerous suite, by the French government, denies that Negus Menelek Intends to visit the St. Louis fair. He aald to the World correspondent: "Our beloved emperor desires much to visit Europe, but he la so completely absorbed in the administration of the affaire of his people that he cannot yet see when he will be able to spare the time to come here, much less go to America, much as he Is deeply interested in the phenomenal ascendancy of the United Statea. More over, he dreads even a short sea trip." Incidentally Makonnen mentioned that a growing number of Americans settle In Abyssinia, merchants and engineers principally. The negus has an American pianist named Mildred Claypole, whose ac count of President Roosevelt's life so In terested Menellk that he ordered a bio graphy translated Into the native dialect, and now Mr. Roosevelt Is a sort of legen dary hero of the most popular aort among the native Abyssslnlans. Makonnen Is black-skinned, but without the coarse features usual to an African. He dresses In strikingly pure white, a purple band of velvet trimming the edges, indicat ing his rank, and over all a cloak of black silk and a white felt sombrero. Escorted by a aquad of galloping cuirassiers he goes about Paris In a victoria drawn by four white horses. Yesterday he was Introduced to the de lights of the automobile whirling at a dizzy rate to the Eiffel tower, thence to Napol eon's tomb, and thence to the School of Fine Arts, where the presence of female models posing nude before crowds of students seemed to embarraas him terri bly. MAY ABOLISH THE GUILLOTINE No Place In France Willing; to Bear Distinction of Being; Placa of Execution, (Copyright 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, July 19. (New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) The guillo tine seems to be doomed. A war of words now waging in the senate threatena to extirpate capital punishment and with It France's grim and blood-stained Instrument of public vengeance. The crisis waa brought on by the case of a man named Bldaux, condemned by the courts to death. Formerly the place of execution was La Roquette, near Pere la Chali, but that haa been voted too public, for It U con ceded that auch exhibitions have no salu tary effect upon the morals of the people. The prisoner Is ' confined at LaSants and It was suggested that the execution take place within the prison walls, but LaSanto Is by no mesns anxious for the distinction, hence' the matter waa referred to the Senate and the Chamber of Depu ties. Several senators bava demanded to know why there should be,capltal punish ment at -all whan It must b so carefully concealed. The argument for and "against baa grown ao strong that the decapitation date of Bldeaux promlaes to be Indefinitely posiponeo.

AMBITION IS TO REMODEL THE WORLD Cannot Bee How He Will Accomplish It Without a Broader Comprehension. SEIZES RIGHT TIME FOR HIS PROJECTS Chief Merit of American Financier, According to the Kaiser, la His Audacity and Courage. . J I. (Copyright 1902, by Press Pnvimhlng Co.?' PARIS, July 19. (New Yo.k World C blegram Special Telegram.) The ka voiced his impressions of J. Plerpont gan with such frankness ta M. W - Rouaseau and the French ex-pr r's guests on the lattcr's yacht, Arlai? . 'hen they dined aboard Hohenzollern r .ly, as to atartle the French guests. Av ding to letters received here from membera of the party, the kaiser considers Mr. Morgan a man of few ideas, but tremendous audacity, who has been wonderfully served by cir cumstances which might Just aa well have gone against him. The kaiser is quoted as having said: "Try as I could, his conversation failed to reveal to me that he had any clear compre hension of the vast harmonies and conflicts of the commercial universe. I was amazed to find him not well Informed regarding the historical and philosophical development of nations. His political economy leaves him unconcerned regarding socialism, which un doubtedly will soon constitute the most stupendous question everywhere. Mr. Mor gan confessed that he had never been suffi ciently interested to study .Into what so cialism means exactly." Mr. Morgan struck the kaiser as being a man who Is absorbed In immediate prob lems and Incapable of counting conse quences far ahead. The kaiser Is repre sented as having spoken somewhat sneer Ingly of the "American boyish enthusiasm which, after his successful combining of the Interests, magnified Mr. Morgan Into a sort of financial God." The kalaer Is said to have added: "After the first surprise, Mr. Morgan rose tp ths part and now his ambition is to remodel the world. But I can't see how he has a single great idea. His chief merit lay in seizing the right time In which to effect combines on a scale which heretofore no body bad dared to attempt. But in so doing Mr." Morgan was rather the Instrument of irrepressible economic forces than an in ventive genius." After the dinner tho kaiser told Mme. Walderk-Roueaenu that he considered her husband the greatest statesman alive, add ing: "If he had had the opportunities afforded by the premiership In monarchical countries his name would have outshone that of Richelieu, Bismarck or Gladstone. The kings of Denmark and Sweden, who have shown Waldeck-Rousseau every atten tion in the course of the Ariadne's cruise, each paid him somewhat similar compli ments In their welcoming speeches. (Copyright 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, July 19. (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) While the attentions paid by the kaiser to J. Pler pont Morgan have caused Indignation here, the German press, as a means of safely venting Its spleen, has been discussing Mr. Morgan's huge fortune and Inquiring whether a state should allow such colossal sums to accumulate In the hand of -Individuals. Mr. Morgan's methods and alms are treated on all sides with the utmost severity and the German government la warned on the danger of allowing him any footing in connection with any German enterprise. EXPLORE WONDERFUL GROTTO Remain In tho Cavern So Losg that 1 Friends Give Them Vp aa Being- Lost. (Copyright 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, July 19. (New York World Ca blegram Special ' Telegram.) One of the moat beautiful grottoes In Europe has Just been explored for the first time In Swltzer land. It is near the village of Btatden, not tar from Schwyts. It lies at ths foot Of the hill cf Pragl. Many previous efforts had been made to explore it, but they failed on account of the abundance of water, the steepness of the Inclines which separate the chambers and the frequent, caving In of the walls. . The four bold Alplsts who have finally achieved the dangerous feat are Arthur Wehrll of Bendllkon, Saxer, Elmmerman and Wldmer Oaterwalder of Zurich. They entered the grotto on a Friday with pro visions for eight days, rope, ladders and acetylene lamps and cam out the follow Ing Sunday at noon. The villagers had con eluded that they were lost and were pre paring to organize a search party. Th explorers penetrsted nearly twe miles and report finding great natural beauties. Msny of the chambers are hung with stalactites and subterranean torrenta powerful enough to run a sawmill add to the grandeur of the whole. Th men contended that the risk was outweighed by th. discoveries made. FINED FOR KISSING HIS WIFE Bavarian Took Too Much Tlmo and Delayed Traltlo on tho Railroad.

THINK CHAMBERLAIN A BETTER OFFICIAL Opinion Freely Expressed that He Should Have Been Named. NUMBER OF CHANGES CONTEMPLATED Names of Important Personages Suggested for Positions. DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH HAS A CHANCE Popularity of His Wife May Win for 11 lm Cabinet Office Without Re gard to His Own, Ability. LONDON, July 19. Cabinet making Is the absorbing subject of discussion here. During the week the publio was regaled with more or lesa shrewd prophecies, but no Intimations were glveu out of the Inten tions of the premier, A. J. Balfour, re garding the successors of the ministers who have already resigned or as to how far the changes In the ministry may be expected to extend. It Is undeniable that a very large sec tion of the conservatives and liberal unionists are strongly dissatisfied with the ministry as at present constituted and It Is Increasingly apparent that In spite of all the Parliamentary eulogies of Mr. Bal four many unionists believe that a govern ment of greater strength and capacity could have been established with Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, aa leader. The opinion Is freely expressed on all sides by unionists aa well as the lib erals that the interests of the empire now adays are ao vaat and complex that they are sorely In need of the oversight of a man of broader and more forceful powers, who should be disassociated from the at mosphere of constant debates of such measures, for instance, as the education bill or the question of releasing Patrick A. McHugh, the member of Parliament for North Leltrlm, from the penalty of a petty Irlftfi court. The appointment of Mr. Chamberlain to the premiership would have been received with cold disfavor by the opposition and would have been a red flag to the Anglo phobia, but nevertheless there is a multi tude of government supporters who would be glad to have him aa chief, and the As sociated Press Is Informed from sources of undoubted authenticity that Mr. Cham berlain's claims to the premiership would have been recognized as being better than Mr. Balfour's had he not whenever occa sion presented Itself urged Mr. Balfour succession against his own. -Strong Point of Salisbury. One Important and strong point of the late administration which has not elated and which it Is feared Mr. Balfour will not fully Inherit, was Lord Salisbury's persistent resistance to Emperor Wil liam's efforts to entangle Oreat Britain In an alliance with Germany. These efforts have been made at Intervale since 1895 and are likely to be renewed now that Lord Salisbury has retired. The chief immediate cause of the ap prehension, however. Is that Mr. Balfour will be unwilling to either radically reduce the size of the unwleldly cabinet, now num bering nineteen, or make sweeping changes in It. . Nowhere is its complete recon struction more earnestly urged than among the conservatives themselves, soma of whom profess to fear that unless the ministry Is strengthened It support In the House of Commons will rspldly dwindle. The conservatives are doubtful whether Mr. Balfour is sufficiently resolute to recreate the ministry against the wishes of most of his political official associates. Possible Cabinet Change. The consensus of best Informed con servative opinion points to a list of ap polntments something like the following as being the most likely: Mr. Hanbury, the president of the Board of Agriculture, to succeed Sir Michael IIlcks-Beach, the chancellor of the exchequer, the announce ment of whose resignation waa not received with favor by the conservatives, with the exception of those who desire to see the post of the exchequer filled by a man com mitted to the principle of preferential trade with the colonies. Other candidates mentioned for the exchequer are Rt. Hon. James W. Lowtber, the former Parlia mentary secretary for foreign affairs; Lord George Hamilton, the aecretary of state for India, who was not considered to be a financier, and Sir Edgar Vincent, the former financial adviser to the Egyptian government and ex-governor of the im perial Ottoman bank at Constantinople. It Is now considered probable that Lord Halsbury will be succeeded as lord chan cellor by Sir R. B. Flnlay, at present at torney general. The manner In which Lord Halsbury exercised hla prerogative in the appointment of Judges has caused consid erable dissatisfaction. It Is asserted that many of the appointees do not reach the high standards previously maintained In the English courts. Chanc for Marlborough. Earl Cadogan, the lord lieutenant of Ire land, will probably be succeeded by the duke of Marlborough, the carl of Pembroke and Montgomery, or the earl of Dudley. It the duke of Marlborough Is appointed It will be due to his wife's popularity as much as the duke's merits. . The duke's asm la also mentioned aa the possible successor of the earl of Hopetoun as governor general of Australia. Should C. T. Ritchie realgn the home sec retaryship Georg Wyndham, now chief sec retary for Ireland, Is considered a promising candidate. Lord Ashbourne's position as lord chan cellor of Ireland Is acceptably filled. The Right Hon. Sir Edward Carson, th solicitor -general, and the duke of Bedford are strongly urged to succeed Lord Jsmes of Hereford In the anomalous cabinet poal tlon of chancellor of the duchy cf Lancaster. Lord Hopetoun Is a second possibility. The resignation of Lord George Hamilton as aecretary of state for India la considered probable. J. Austin Chamberlain, eldest son of Jo seph Chamberlain and financial aecretary to the treasury, will doubtless become a cabi net minister In soma secondary position The Right Hon. Gerald Balfour, prealdent of the Board of Trade, and brother of 'the premier, cannot be sstd to b popular with bla party, but h la not expected to retire from the cabinet. The retention of Lord Lansdowne as for elgn aecretary and tb duk of Dsvooshlr aa president of th council 1 considered foreordained, and It Is not believed that th changes will to beyond those mentioned.

TO 12 m TJ RIOTING IN LEAVENWORTH Thousand Soldiers Storm Resort and Batter Down Building for Stabbing of Comrade. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., July 19. About 1,000 soldiers surrounded a resort on Main street tonight and demolished the- doors, windows and furniture. This was done In revenge for the fatal stabbing of Ell Loucks, a member of Company F, Sixth cavalry, by a negro In the resort. Noth ing but the walls and root of the build ing were left standing. Ths negroes In the districts were panic-stricken, and there was a wild exodus. A riot call wss sent to police head quarters and a dozen officers hurried to the scene armed with shotguns. The police marched down the street with guns levelod on the crowd. They had great difficulty In quelling the riot. A dozen shots were fired along the front of the mob by sol diers. Four of the latter were severely clubbed. Their comrades, mad with rage, were unarmed and bealtated about rush ing the heavily armed police. Quiet waa restored at 10 o'clock, but ths soldiers and negroes ar buying guns, and serious trouble la anticipated. , Oreat ex citement prevailed In Leavenworth during the hour the regulara were In charg of the tenderloin district. At 11:35 the ruins of th bouse at (10 Main street were discovered to be on fire. Coal. oil. had beotvJjoiK.edvQtt.and a, match applied. The blaze was extinguished before the building was much damaged. Policeman Joseph Wager struck a sol dier In the back of the head at 1 o'clock this morning. He is still uncon scious. It Is believed his neck is broken. Great excitement prevails. The down town streets are now swarming with sol diers. Loucks, over whom the trouble began, is a barber in the Sixth Infantry and today he received hla pay. John Graham, a negro, evidently knew of this, for he waylaid Loucks near the Missouri Pacific depot and demanded his money. Upon Loucks' re fusal Graham drew a knife and slashed Loucks across the abdomen, inflicting a very serious and possibly fatal wound. Loucks Is now in the post hospital.
