LIBERALS EXPECT A VICTORY' TO-DAT tCOrTRTOHT, 15SiEY TOE "TEW YOEEAESOCIATZD rnits.3 London, Jan. 22. Lord Salisbury, hav ing suddenly taken an extraordinary step in cancelling Sir E. 1). Jlorier as Ambabsa dor to Home and deciding to retain Mm at St Petersburg, a Foreign Office autkority is infracted to state that Sir It. D. Moricr's liealth is improiing and he had expressed Iiis willingness to remain in Kussia. This explanation was offered to-night as all that could be officially given out. Sir It D. 3ftorier some time ago-obtained leave of absence on account of weak health. He was in London and left as vigorous as ever. The transference when arranged was not associated with reasons of health. Ou inquiring into the genuine causes of Lord Salisbury's action points nere elicited which indicate that the retention of Sir It T). MorieratSt. Petersburg, is due to the fct tliat the Government is co-operating with the German and Italian Governments in trying to persuade the Czar to abandon the French alliance and join the European pact, leaving France unsupported. Appealing to the Czar's Tersonal T.ike6. iir It D. Jlorier, who is pcrsonagrata at the Ilusian court, being much liked by the Oar, is using his influence to arrange a con ference between the Emperors of Kussia and Germany, at which it is hoped the old harmony of relations may be re-established. It is now reported that the German Em peror will send cither a new Ambassador to St. Petersburg or a special envoy. The in tricacy of the questions requiring solution before a permanent agreement can be ob tained, mut involve prolonged negotiations. TSarou Vivian, who was nominated for St. Petersburg. Las in the meantime luftl his appointment to Home approved by the CJueen. Lord Salisbury, though still suffering fiom a cold, came from Infield House to dav and had an interview with the Austrian Ambassador at the Foreign Office. Before leaving he prepared a circular addressed to the Conservative peers, requesting their presnee in lull force on the reopening of Parliament ou February !. This circular will be issued Monday." Mr. Gladstone's circular is aUo expected to be issued early in tlie week. , Koraltv ColaSnbjert of Charity. " luring the Prince of "Wales short stay 5n tottn to-dav he saw many intimate friends. Alluding lo the suggestion that the money subscribed for wedding presents to Prime's Slav be made the nucleus of a National pension, he said this proposition could not possiblv be entertained. Being thus disapproved, nothing more will be beard of the proposition. The entourage of the Prince now iJAorthe idea of submitting to Princess Slav what may be done with the money in the way or the creation of a iHeniori.il to the Duke of Clarence. The neglect of the German Kaiser to ob serve the respect due lo the Duke of Clar rncc, is resented in court ci'cles here. The Kinneror went on a shooting excursion to JJuchsburg on the eve of the Duke's death, although he had been apprised that his con dition was desperate. Even alter receiving the telegram announcing the Dnke's death, J.e coutinued his sport and had another day's shooting, returning to Berlin Friday exening, and, instead of immediately listening to express nis condolence, the Emperor did not call on the British Am bassador until Sunday aflcrnoon. Trying to Torcn the Kai&rr lo 31aurn. Finally, the nearness of relationship justi fied the court here in expecting that the Emperor would order mourning for three weeks instead of tor onlv 10 days. The ex Emnress is blieved to have written to a personage in the English court that she had been pained by her son's want of considera tion, and that she also had cause lo com plain, as the Emperor did not call upon her lis custom and duty dictated until the third dav after the Dnkeof Clarence's death. The best interpretation put on the be havior of the Emperor is that Le had a tit of eccentric humor, ncb as now and then frequently occurs, and lhat h- allowed his latent ill-witl toward. the Prince of "Wales to display itself. Pri..ce George of "Wales, instead of leav ing the navy as it was reported he woulddo, is likely to be promoted to the command of the (Jiicen's yacht, Victoria and Albert, and r.tter i. short interval will become a Jtear Admiral. Iteseirches for precedent, enabling Prince George to marry Princess May, have Tiselovod that it is a rule that in the event ol the death ot her betrothed a roval prin cess mnst wait in e years before becoming again betrothed. Sot a National Calamity. The Chairman of the Miners Federation, w ho at a rw cut meeting tried to have the delegates adopt a resolution of condolence with the Prince ol "Wales, got his own local association in Manchester to pass the de Fired resolution. This, however, fails to aflect the significance ot the delegates re lusal to vote condolence. The leading union paper, the Workmen's Times, while expressing the tendercst sympathy for Princess Mav, declines to magnify this t-ingle instance of blighted hopes "into a liational calamity, and protests that men ought not allow it to sliilt their mental bal ance or seduce them to snivelling and effu sive declarations of loyalty to the throne. The result of to-morrow" polling" in the Kossendale division is awaited with strained anxiety. No bye-election was ever before fought with such vigor on each side. The "Unionists ceased operations on the day of the funeral of the Duke of Clarence, but the Liberals did not. and this fact will alienate some votes from the Liberals. Liberals Can hziatf a Tew Votes. However, as the Liberals calculate upon a majority of ."00 at least, they can aflord to los.e ultra-loyal and doubtful voters. Their candidate is" ill in bed with influenza, but he is supported by the ablest Gladstonian speakers and canvassers. The letters of Mr. Gladstone and the Duke of Devonshire, exchanging recrimi nations on tlie origin of the "home rule policy, will not aflect the issue. The Unionist papers describe Mr. Gladstone's letter as characterized by unblushing eflrontry and unscrupulous mendacity, while the Gladstonian press says that the Duke of Devonshire's letter is disgrace fully disingenuous. It must be admitted that both criticisms have some justification. The Newfoundland Government is press ing the Imperial Government to sanction the ratification of the treatr with the United States negotiated by Mr. Bond in 18U0, and urges that there be no "further delay, in order that the treaty may pass the United States Congress before March 4. Lord JCnuisrord, the Imperial Secretary for the Colonies, appears to be reluctant to move in the matter. The Cardinal I,ev- o VOnllh. Cardinal Manning, in his will, leaves! books and papers in charge of his executors, Dr. Butler and Eev. Father Bayley, of the Oblates of St. Charles.

Another Ocean Steamship Sights the Earn ing Ship, JVhlcll was Oil I-adcil. London. Jan. 22. The British steamer Egyptian Monarch, at this port from ifew York, reports that at 1 o'clock on the mornine-ot January 10, the steamer then being in latitude 48 north, longitude 19 west, she sighted a wooden vessel, appar ently of American build, burning furiously. Judging from the dense black smoke "and the odor, Captain Irwin thinks the burning vessel was laden with oil. As the steamer approached the burning craft, it was seen that her masts were gone. Her bowsprit was standing, and to it could be seen cling ing two men. A lifeboat on the steamer was hastily cleared away to rescue these two men, but before it" could hardly be lowered the bowsprit fell and the two'mea were precipitated into the sea. Efforts were made to find them, but they were not afterward seen. Captain Irwin thought it probable that the boats lrom the burning vessel""were somewhere in the vicinity, and he, there lore, remained near the spot Until day broke in the hope of picking them up. A tremendous sea was running at the time, and it is more than likely that if the crew had managed to get away from their vessel they were drowned by the capsizing of the small boats. The burning vessel was undoubtedly the same one reported yesterday as having been seen on the same day in the same posi tion by the British steamer Imperial Prince. BUEIED BY A CUFF. Tlie lingo Jlocfc Topples Over Upon Several Houses and Their Inmates. Paeis, Jan. 22. A most peculiar and fatal accident is reported from Dicppedalle, in the Department of the Seine, Inferi eure. Near that town is a high precipice, ot the foot of which are a number of honse. This morning, without a moment's warn ing, the rock at the top of the precipice for a distance oflSO yards, crashed down with a thundering noise upon two buildings used as laundries and another house, completely burying them. It was1 thought that every person in ihe.crcshed and bnried buildings would be found dead, and there were many volunteers who offered their services to ex tricate the supposed corpses. They had not worked long before thev heard moans and cries and appeals for help, which told them that all were not dead. It was not long be fore the rescuers had removed a man, who, though badly injured, was still alive. This gaveheart to the workers and their labors were continued until thev had taken 20 persons, men, women and children, from the ruins, all of whom were more or less in jured. Two women were takeu out dead, their bodies being frightfully mangled. It is thought that the breaking oft of the mass of rock was caused by the freezing of the water that had percolated into the many rifts and crevices at the top of the preci pice.

The Gity Plant of Toledo Growing Too Weak to Supply Fuel. . . EXHAUSTED BY STANDARD WELLS. Gov. McEinlej iddiesses the Closing Ses sion of the Miners. SEWS! NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS 'SPECIAL TEI.ECTS 4M TO TIIE DISPATCH.! Toledo, Jan. 22. An executive session of the City Council Ways and Means Com mittee held to-night is considering a re quest made by the natural gas trustees for the issuance of 5350,000 more bonds. The request created a profound sensation. The trustees state that the money is necessary to purchase pumps and drill wildcat gas wells in order to get pressure enough to force the citv's gas from the field. "With out this they say the 1,000,000 already ex pended is lost. They allege that the Standard, with whom Toledo has long struggled, has sur rounded the city's territory with wells draining its gas away while the pipe line was building. The pressure has been re duced recently to 92 pounds, so that 4,030 consumers i ave received an inadequate supply. The refusal to grant the issue means the practical abandonment of the line and grsat distress among the consumers, as there is not wood or coal enough in town to supply them three days. Vopular feeling runs high. The Stand aid is giving a good supply to 8, 000 con sumers, and one faction declares it is an octopus scheme to crush the city plant. Others allege gross mismanagement and are opposed to sinking more money in the ven ture. The latter seemed to be in the ma jority. No official decision is expected be- lore Monday.

Hack Writes .a Letter to tlie Local Club and May Sign Shortly. GENERAL SP0ETIX6 NEWS OP TUB DAT B. F. Tracy, the Kentucky trotting horse breeder of world wide fame, was in the city yesterday on his way from New York, where he attended the Bonner horse sale. AVhile there he bought three young horses. Ashland Park farm, which Mr. Tracy owns, is one of the largest establishments for the breeding of trotters in the world. Yrmf. this farm the United States is repre sented in the shape of speedy horses in Germany, France. Kussia, Australia, New Zealand, Italy and South America. At present there are "00 highly bred represen tatives of the equine race, headed by that Adonis of stallions.Favette Wilkes, consid ered the. handsomest horse in the world, and one of George "Wilkes' greatest sons. An Interest! ns Tali-. Speaking of the last season's slate break ing by the California horses and their com parative standing witn Kentucky bred trotters he made this interesting talk: "As between the Electioneer and the "Wilkes get we must weigh the matter down in this manner. For a winning ability there is no comparison between the Wilkes and the Electioneer getv The latter has been made famous in exhibition miles, the former got its name in races for blood. The showing against time and the number ?f tin cup records made by the California rotters is phenomenal. But the crucial test in all speed contests is put to the limit wnen anorse goes out in a Dig neiu 01 last company, and forges to the front under the whip, and amid excitement which tends to unnerve any animal with a heart. There is where the "Wilkes family excell I don't wish to speak disparagingly of the slope trotter, but the records, performances and surrounding circumstances will bear me out in what I say. California Advantages. "Tlie climatic resources of California af ford advantages for nn early development of the trotter which Kentucky has not got. The youngster records out there cannot and will not be beaten by any Eastern horse of the present day. But here's a point to con sider. Is the physical constitution of the animal good? Compare the vegetation of Florida and Pittsburg. The vegetable which matures early and quickly in the South is not in quality as goo 1 and sound as that raised slowly and caieAilly in Pitts burg's suburbs. But the best test of all is to go down the Hue in the big circuit, aud you don't find any of the frail bat fleet ones there. It is a case of early maturity early decay with the California trotter." "What do you think of the AVilkes-Mam-brino Patcheu combination ?" asked the re porter. "As an element to race and win money no other breed in the world approaches it. "As to the two-minute trotter we will never see it in oiir age. To get this 'wind beater' we will have to do away w ith Wal lace aud the standard bred horses and cross re-cross the thoroughbred runner with the trotter. The former for finish and gamc ness. and the latter for action. When this is successfully done we will have the two minute trotter." Abont Tincup Records. "Do you think the tincup records should be recognized?" "Emphatically no. It is a farce. If vou wish to purchase a horse and a man tells 3-oti the animal has a mark of '22; but don't say where he got it, yon think you are mak ing a great acquisition when your horse friend asks 82,000 for him. You ask me how much J will take for a trotter with a mark of '27 made in company. I say f.1,000. Then you go off mad and buy the '22 tincup horse thinking that it is the biggest bargain on earth. "Look at the books to-day and you'll find 50 per cent of the Electioneer family has got records by 'fireside trotting," while the Wilkes progeny comes to the front with 80 per cent of its records made in races for purses.
