All the Ministers Resign with Exception of One. - Yokohama, May 15. Via Victoria, B. Ct., May 15. The announcement was j made this morning that the entire cab inet resigned yesterday and the entire iplaoe is again in the throes of a minis terial earth quake. The cause of the present trouble was occasioned by a re calcitrant member of the cabinet, Via eount Mathabe, minister of finance, has become persona non grata to the oth ers, and who has refused to resign. The other members ' of the cabinet therefore adopted the unusual course of resigning themselves. The upshot probably will !be that after a tew in- get some other leader to form a cabinet, Marquis lto will come into the fietd again as the only possibility and reappoint the old cabinet with the exception of the mar plot viscount. The strain put upon Marquis lto, veteran though' he is, is almost too much for one man, as upon him. de volves the duty of leader of the govern ment and of a most turbulent and un manageable political party. The expe riment of party government now being tried is interesting enough, hut its suc cess is anything but flattering. San Francisco, XJr 15. 'President McKinley's c"eoisi. . !scontinue his trip and cancel all iurt er. engagements caused much, disappointment here, but there is much sympathy expressed for Mrs. McKinley. The president's de cision was taken after a private con ference with Mrs.- iMteKinley's physi cians this morning, When they inform ed him they could report no improve ment but in some respects Mrs. Mc Kinley's case had reached a more se rious stage. This afternoon another physician was called into consultation. They found Mrs. McKinley's condition more com fortable. It is learned Mrs. McKinley has been suffering from dysentery for nearly a week and it has not yet yield ed to treatment. At 9:30 tonight the physicians an nounced Mrs. McKinley as resting more comfortably and 'there is a slight improvement. San Francisco, May 15. Secretary Cortelyou states today that Mrs. Mc Kinley's serious illness compels the president to abandon his proposed visit to other states, to which he looked for ward with so much pleasure. (As soon as Mrs. McKinley's health .will permit he will return to Washington by the most direct route. Secretary Cortelyou has issued the following bulletin as to Mrs. McKin ley's condition: "There has been but little change since last night. She has gained in several respects and lost in others." The president will remain quietly at Mr. Scott's residence today and will not take part in the program of exer cises arranged. Secretary of the Navy Iiong may leave the presidential party for the east at any moment. He has received word that his daughter, who has ibeen living at Colorado Springs over a year for her health, is dangerously ill. Secretary Long will be accompanied on the trip by Mrs. Long and their son of tender years. The boy was also taken ill yesterday at the Palace hotel, where they are staying, and physicians were called. They ordered the child's retirement to bed1 at once. The secretary is much worried by the illness in his family and said he was not inclined to continue the trip. MRS. NATION DENIES CHARGE OF INSANITY. Topeka, Kas., May 15.

As soon as the trucks were ready to proceed the troops formed a hollow square and the trucks proceeded toward the Quail street car barn two miles distant.

A number were struck 'and as they rode along with blood streaming down their faces they presented a ghastly sight.

Blomberg's most up to date cigar store The Earl of Yarmouth, who has won his suit against the Morning Telegraph, Richard Croker's New York paper, has been in this country for some time, acting under the stage name of Eric I Hope. He has two hundred pounds a year so he told the jury which sat on his case but he "needed the money," so he came to America and was engaged by one of the New York theaters. During his trial Miss Green, a daugh- ( ter of Hetty Green, one of the richest women in the world, was a witness, subpoenaed by the defense to prove that Yarmouth has been fortune hunt ing, that his visit to America had been made for the purpose of finding a rich iAmerican wife. As she entered the court room, on the first morning of the trial, Yar mouth rose to greet her. He crossed to where she stood and spoke to her in a low voice. She was plainly dis concerted. The loeome who sat near her heard her tell the earl as he calls himself to "go away." But the earl as he called himself was obstinate, and she again asked him to go away." The newspapers in (New York city ap peared to have sided with the Tele- craDh and some of the 'best cartoons which have appeared lately have had1 a direct bearing on the case. The story about which, the eairl took exception appeared in the .Morning Telegraph recently, and the earl was characterized as a "seven-cent actor," "fortune hunter" and a "rotten ac tor." Many of the theatrical managers of New York appeared and testified that Brie Hope" to Uait An earl might bring crowds to see his act, but that as an actor he was a dismal failure.
