1895 Wilcox rebellion
The 1895 Wilcox rebellion was a brief war from January 6 to January 9, 1895, that consisted of three battles on the island of Oʻahu, Republic of Hawaii. It was the last major military operation by royalists who opposed the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii.


1895 Wilcox rebellion
Because of its brevity and lack of casualties, this conflict is largely forgotten; in some cases those who rediscover it coin a new name for the conflict, but it is frequently referred to as the “Counter-revolution”.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Background, Republic of Hawaiʻi
Following the 1887 Hawaiian Constitution and the 1893 coup d'état, a temporary government was formed by the Committee of Safety until an assumed annexation by the United States. They were successful with President Benjamin Harrison in negotiating an annexation treaty; however, Harrison's term in office came to an end before the treaty could be ratified by Congress. The new President, Grover Cleveland, opposed the idea of annexation, being an anti-imperialist himself, and withdrew the annexation treaty upon taking office.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Background, Republic of Hawaiʻi
After commissioning the secret Blount Report, he stated that the U.S. had inappropriately used military force and called for the reinstatement of Queen Liliʻuokalani. The matter was referred by Cleveland to Congress after Sanford Dole refused Cleveland's demands, and the U.S. Senate held a further investigation, culminating in the Morgan Report, which completely rejected that there had been any U.S. involvement in the overthrow.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Background, Republic of Hawaiʻi
The Provisional Government feared that President Cleveland might continue to support the queen by restoring the monarchy. The Provisional Government also realized there would be no annexation until Cleveland's term of office ended; and they wanted to establish a more permanent government until another president, more favorable toward annexation, came to office. Therefore, the Provisional Government called to order a Constitutional Convention on May 30, 1894. The Constitutional Convention drafted a constitution for a Republic of Hawaii. The Republic of Hawaii was proclaimed on 4 July 1894 at Aliiolani Hale. The Republic was a single-party oligarchy.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Background, Royalist plans
In 1895, Robert Wilcox was brought into a plot to overthrow the Republic of Hawaiʻi and return Queen Liliʻuokalani to the throne. Among the plotters was Sam Nowlein, former Head of the Royal Guards of Hawaii (which had been disbanded in 1893); Joseph Nawahi, former Minister of Foreign Affairs; Charles T. Gulick, an advisor to both Kalākaua and Liliʻuokalani; and William H. Rickard, a sugar planter of British parentage. These men planned to attack government buildings in downtown Honolulu at night.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Background, Royalist plans
They had recruited a number of poor Hawaiians, most of them day laborers from the outskirts of Honolulu, but failed to fill their quota of 700 recruits. In addition the recruits lacked weapons, training and discipline, and were pitted against the formidable forces of the Provisional Government, which had spent the royal treasury and secured loans to arm itself thoroughly against such an attack.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Background, Royalist plans
The rebels had purportedly smuggled arms to Liliʻuokalani to resupply them once the palace was secured. A shipment of guns and ammunition from California had been smuggled on board the Schooner Wahlber to be put aboard the Steamer Waimanalo near Rabbit Island and shipped to a secret Honolulu location.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Diamond Head
Rumors were circulating on January 6, 1895, that armaments were being landed on Waikīkī beach, Oʻahu. A squad of six policemen led by Captain Parker, a veteran of the 1889 rebellion who commanded the 30 Royal Guards in the Palace, had been sent to Henry Bertelmann’s house near Diamond Head to search for the weapons. They did not know Bertelmann was a Lieutenant in the insurgency. As Deputy Marshal Brown read the warrant to Bertleman, the squad was fired upon by three Royalists returning from the beach, that took shelter in Bertleman’s canoe house.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Diamond Head
The police advanced toward the canoe house until the Royalists were driven off, but not before Charles L. Carter, an armed civilian accompanying the police, was shot three times in the chest. Bertleman shot and wounded police lieutenant Holi as the policemen returned to the house. The policemen subdued Bertleman and another rebel, John Lane, in the first clash and took shelter in Bertleman’s house. 70 royalists in the surrounding area joined the battle attacking the house. They were commanded by Colonel Robert Wilcox and Lieutenant Lot Lane, an intimidating six foot Irish-Hawaiian.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Diamond Head
The Royalists surrounded the house but three men escaped: Captain Parker, Deputy Marshal Brown, and Alfred Wellington Carter (Charles Carter's cousin). The police officers mounted their horses and sent word of the uprising, while Alfred Carter searched for a doctor. A detachment of the National Guard of Hawaii, Company E commanded by Lt. King, drove back the Royalists towards Diamond Head by 9:00, allowing Alfred Carter to bring doctors Walter, Murry, and Doyle to his cousin. The battle continued into the night. The Royalists managed to repel the soldiers from their fallback position. By dawn of January 7, the government forces withdrew to Sans Souci Beach in Waikiki near Sans Souci Hotel run by Royalist George Lycurgus at Kapiolani Park west of Diamond Head and awaited reinforcements, ending the battle.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Diamond Head
C. L. Carter, nephew of supreme court justice Albert Francis Judd and son of former Kingdom diplomat Henry A. P. Carter,  died from his wounds later that day. Two other police officers were also wounded and sent to a hospital. Bertleman and Lane were sent to the police station, where they were imprisoned. Although the royalists had triumphed in the first battle of the war, they had lost the element of surprise. Consequently, this victory would be short-lived.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Mōʻiliʻili
On January 7, 1895 martial law was declared in Hawaii by President Sanford B. Dole. The men led by Lt. Sam Nowlein rendezvoused with Col. Robert W.K. Wilcox at Diamond Head. Following the Republic government’s humiliating defeat, Marshal Edward G. Hitchcock deployed men and three artillery cannons to stop the Royalists’ march on Honolulu. An additional detachment of 25 men led by Lt. Coyne was sent, and met Lt. King near Sans Souci Beach at Kapiolani Park on the east end of Waikiki.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Mōʻiliʻili
King had sent a group of men to the rim of Diamond Head to attack the Royalists from above, while Coyne had received a field piece and zeroed in on a group of 100 Royalists on the slopes of the volcano. The artillery was at first too inaccurate to be effective, and it took several barrages to dislodge Wilcox’s men. It is noted that one round was so inaccurate that it missed Diamond Head completely, sailing over the crater and landing in the sea. The final bombardment inflicted several casualties and scattered the group. Wilcox saw no tactical importance in remaining on Diamond Head and ordered his men to retreat to Waialae to rest. The new strategy was to move north into Koʻolau mountains then west, avoiding the Government forces in south.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Mōʻiliʻili
Nowlein's men opened fire near Diamond Head at Mauʻumae at a group of police along Waialae Road commanded by T. B. Murray and, though they caused no casualties, the police withdrew anyway. The Republic’s army moved toward the Royalists with two of the government's cannons. The third cannon was put aboard a commandeered tugboat named Eleu to form a makeshift Patrol Boat. The Eleu attacked Wilcox’s men with grapeshot at Waialae, on the northeast side of Diamond Head. The Royalists were centered around Anton Rosa’s residence, the former headquarters for the Royalists with an arms cache, which was captured.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Mōʻiliʻili
Nowlein's men were to capture Punchbowl, but had been waiting in hiding at Mauʻumae as government troops were moving toward Diamond Head. T. B. Murray's group of police on reconnaissance along Waialae Road were sent toward their position. As they approached, Nowlein's men fired at them and the policemen retreated. Murray's men returned with Company F commanded by Captain C. W. Zeiler from Palolo, sent to engage Nowlein at Kaimuki as they moved toward Moʻiliʻili. Nowlein's men were driven back to Mauʻumae, where there were ammo caches and boulders for cover. The fighting led to a deadlock.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Mōʻiliʻili
Due to the distance between the opposing forces, and protective cover on both sides, neither combatant could inflict casualties on the other. Finally the government forces broke the stronghold when a howitzer was brought to bear to end the stalemate and 33 of Nowlein's men surrendered, though Nowlein himself escaped with officers and a few men although he disliked the idea of abandoning his men, his officers convinced him that it was strategic to prevent him from being captured or killed if he remanded in the stronghold.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Mōʻiliʻili
As the Eleu began to attack Waialae, Wilcox moved his men through the mountains, advancing toward Honolulu. His men moved to the settlement of Moʻiliʻili, at the mouth of Mānoa Valley, where they encountered a line of Captain Zeiler’s Company, and also met with artillery fire. Captain Camara supported Zeiler in securing his flank, positioning his Company C in Nuʻuanu and Punchbowl, cutting off the western advance by the Royalists. The Royalists retreated and entrenched themselves among the stone walls and lantana foliage of the area. Zeiler advanced on them.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Mōʻiliʻili
Wilcox awaited Nowlein's attack on Punchbowl to relieve his men of the government forces, but this never came. The Royalists could not hold their ground against Zeiler's men and retreated into the valley. At the end of the battle 40 Royalists surrendered and were taken prisoner, while one of Zeiler's men was wounded. The battle had lasted a day, and several Royalists had been killed.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Mānoa
The final battle took place on January 9. The Royalists had withdrawn following their defeat at Moʻiliʻili. Wilcox was down to 100 men and retreated into Mānoa Valley. Most of Wilcox's men had not eaten since the start of the rebellion and spirits were low. The Republican Government forces did not immediately pursue the Royalists because a riot had broken out among Japanese plantation workers in ʻEwa, and the government, in reaction, drew forces away from the nearly crushed rebellion to deal with this new threat.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Mānoa
Reconnaissance patrols were sent into and around the Koʻolaus and concluded that the Royalist force was still in Mānoa Valley. They employed the Eleu to patrol the coast and destroyed suspicious unattended boats. The government forces that remained were ordered to guard the entrance to the valley in order to keep the Royalist force contained.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Mānoa
A Royalist force of 50 men was spotted on the evening of the 9th attempting to scale Tantalus and move through Punchbowl to enter the city. A gun battle ensued between Company A commanded by Capt. P. Smith, backed by Company D. commanded by Lt. Jones with a field piece against the Royalists, leaving one Royalist dead. The Royalists were pushed to the back of the valley where they were surrounded by mountains on three sides.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Mānoa
Until nightfall, the doomed company withstood the ensuing siege and artillery barrage in the pocket known as “the Pen”, at the base of Puʻu Konahuanui. The Royalists then climbed the steep slopes to escape under the cover of darkness. The battle had lasted three hours with two rebels captured, three confirmed dead, and most managing to escape.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Battle of Mānoa
After the climb up the ridge the royalists’ fates varied. Many felt the revolution was a failure and deserted. Others wished to continue the fight but were separated from Wilcox’s leadership and would eventually be captured or killed by government forces routing out the remaining Royalists. Wilcox moved over ancient footpaths to Nuʻuanu Valley and Kalihi, where the group of 10 eventually disbanded.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Aftermath
Skirmishes continued for a week after the victory in Mānoa as the military eradicated the areas of resistance in the Koʻolaus. Contrary to popular belief of the tropical forests of Hawaii having excesses of edibles they are actually scarce. The early native Hawaiians brought crops of their own when they settled the islands, although vegetation is bountiful, few plants are fit for eating. As a consequence most insurgents were driven out by starvation.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Aftermath
All the Royalist leaders were arrested. A barracks was converted into a prison to hold the captured rebels. On January 8, 1895, the captain of the Steamer Waimanalo, William Davies, and several crewmembers were arrested for distributing arms.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Aftermath
Nowlein was caught with three lieutenants on January 14 in Moʻiliʻili. They had been fed by native Hawaiian sympathizers while in hiding.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Aftermath
Wilcox hid for several days in the mountains and made his way to Nuʻuanu Valley and Kalihi with 10 loyal conspirators, but the group was disbanded. He surrendered on January 16, 1895, in a fishing hut near Kalihi.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Aftermath
Lane hid in the Koʻolaus above Mānoa for ten days after the final battle. He came out of hiding after fighting subsided believing a foreign intervention had come, after asking a passerby he discovered the revolution was crushed. Contrary to the fears of Lane and the warning to government forces to use caution when encountering him, he surrendered peacefully to police becoming the last insurgent to be captured. After being brought to police headquarters he was escorted by six guards in fear he may overpower the regular amount for a normal prisoner.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Aftermath
He was locked in with over a hundred under-nourished prisoners of war, he protested that night using the guards’ fears about him to provide food for his fellow inmates. It was believed that most of the Royalists had evaded capture, and with their identities not known had slipped back into the community to return to their lives before the revolution.


1895 Wilcox rebellion, Aftermath
A weapons cache was found and attributed to Liliʻuokalani. She was arrested on January 16. Wilcox was tried for treason (as he had after the Wilcox Rebellion of 1889) by a military tribunal with the other military leaders. This time he was found guilty and sentenced to death, but the sentence reduced to 35 years. Liliʻuokalani and other political leaders were tried and convicted for misprision of treason by those who had overthrown the Kingdom. The former attorney general of the Kingdom Paul Neumann served as legal defense, and prosecutor was William Ansel Kinney. Liliʻuokalani formally abdicated her throne to prevent further bloodshed over the controversial government in a five-page letter on January 24, 1895. The president of the republic, Sanford B. Dole, pardoned the royalists after they served part of their prison sentence.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team
The 1895 Willamette Bearcats football team represented Willamette University during the 1895 college football season. The team was a member of the Oregon Intercollegiate Football Association. The 1895 season was the school's second year of organized football and saw the squad finish with a record of 2 wins, 2 losses, and no ties.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team, Season history, Game 1: Oregon Normal School
The Willamette team traveled to Monmouth for an October 26 game against Oregon Normal School, today's Western Oregon State College. A sizeable contingent of fans made the 12 mile trip from Salem to the site of the game, bringing with them numerous horns, which raised a deafening blast each time the Bearcats scored. The horns were to blow many, many times during the course of the afternoon as the Bearcats demolished the home team by a score of 44 to 6.

At the end of the contest the school's rooters chanted in unison: "Rah, Rah, Rah! / Zip, Boom, Bah / Willamette, Willamette / Ha Ha Ha!" as the elated victors rejoiced.

By previous arrangement the winner of the Willamette–Oregon Normal game was to play the winner of the University of Oregon–Oregon Agricultural College contest in a practic game at the Oregon State Fairgrounds the following week, and the Bearcats prepared themselves for the challenge.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team, Season history, Game 2: University of Oregon
On Saturday, November 2, 1895, Willamette met the team of the University of Oregon Webfoots at the State Fairgrounds in a practice game ahead of the regular conference tournament. The game was played in a steady rain which, one young fan noted, "dripped off our neighbors' umbrellas and ran down our necks and up our sleeves and filled our laps and spoiled our dresses and soaked our feet." By the end of the game the field was rendered a bowl of mud.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team, Season history, Game 2: University of Oregon
The Eugene squad was perceived as heavy favorites coming into the day and for the first ten minutes gave every impression of massive superiority as the Willamette ends pinched in too tightly and failed to hold the corners on defense and the halfbacks — who played in this era akin to modern linebackers — failed to fight through blocks to make tackles. The Lemon Yellow scored a touchdown in short order, making the score 4—0 in favor of the visitors following a missed conversion.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team, Season history, Game 2: University of Oregon
Willamette battled back, however, with their star End Guiss breaking off a long run before being run down by Oregon defenders just short of the goal line. Although thwarted on his first attempt, Guiss broke another long run around the left side later in the half to knot the score at 4 to 4. The kick after the touchdown was again unsuccessful.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team, Season history, Game 2: University of Oregon
Macy and Hawley managed to keep Willamette in the game by blocking an astounding six kicks. A small scuffle erupted between Coleman of Oregon and McCormick of Willamette, in which, as the young Salem girl described it, they "got mad and slapped each other's faces and dared each other like two small boys — I didn't think that was at all nice." The crew of three referees shared this assessment and both were thrown out of the game.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team, Season history, Game 2: University of Oregon
A late score won it for the visitors, who triumphed 8 to 4.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team, Season history, Game 3: Oregon Agricultural College
The third game was played against Oregon Agricultural College (today's Oregon State University), and took place on a gridiron field at the Oregon State Fairgrounds. There were 1,000 or more fans on hand to watch the opening kickoff at 3:40 pm, received by Bidwell of the Aggies, who briefly lost control of the ball before being buried under a sea of humanity. The first OAC drive was rapidly halted and Willamette took over, with Walter Paige and Mark Savage successfully gaining ground around end.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team, Season history, Game 3: Oregon Agricultural College
Savage ultimately scored the first touchdown of the game for the Willamettes at about the 10 minute mark, a 4-point score that was met by wild applause by the fans and the blowing of a multitude of tin horns in celebration. The conversion kick was good and Willamette led by a score of 6 to 0.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team, Season history, Game 3: Oregon Agricultural College
Back in possession of the ball and resuming play from midfield, OAC Center Terrell raised the ball and plowed forward into the Willamette defense. The ball was soon turned over, however, with Walter Paige making a long run for the home team, scampering many yards along the sideline. This time it would be Right Halfback Mark Savage finishing for the Willamette team, with Murphy adding a successful conversion to make the score 12 to 0.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team, Season history, Game 3: Oregon Agricultural College
Corvallis' team then went on a long drive, taking the ball all the way down to the Willamette 5-yard line, but they failed to score. With time in the half running down, Willamette Right End Guiss broke free on what was described as a "zig-zag play," with his long run setting up a third touchdown of the half for the Salem squad. The 2-point conversion kick was again good and the Willamettes took an 18–0 score into the halftime intermission.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team, Season history, Game 3: Oregon Agricultural College
Early in the second half, Willamette Quarterback Murphy broke a long run around end, scoring yet another touchdown. The conversion was missed, leaving the score 22 to zero. On the ensuing possession the Aggies scored their one and only touchdown of the 1895 season when Right Halfback Oberer managed to break a tackle and streak around Willamette's left end. With the successful conversion the score became 22—6.


1895 Willamette Bearcats football team, Season history, Game 3: Oregon Agricultural College
The Aggies were unable to keep pace, however, giving up another 14 points before the game was called at 5:20 pm on account of a rolling fog that made it impossible to see across the width of the field. The final score: Willamette 36, OAC 6. Both teams exchanged cheers following the conclusion of play and the fans began to rush for the streetcars.

The wealthy miner Samuel Tyzack, who alongside and shipbuilder Robert Turnbull funded the Sunderland side known as the "team of all talents," often pretended to be a priest while scouting for players in Scotland, as Sunderland's recruitment policy in Scotland enraged many Scottish fans. In fact, the Sunderland lineup in the 1895 World Championship consisted entirely of Scottish players - Scottish players who moved to England to play professionally in those days were nicknamed the Scotch Professors.

The game was not the first "World Championship" game between English and Scottish sides; and it was the second such club competition won by an English team, with previous winners being Aston Villa and Renton (both Scottish Cup and FA Cup winners, as the leagues had not been yet created at the time). The Scottish and English leagues were pre-eminent in the world at that time. However, it was the first ever game played between the respective champions of two different leagues.

1895 visit by Emperor Franz Joseph to Zagreb
On the initiative of Croatian ban Károly Khuen-Héderváry, in mid-October 1895 Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph visited Zagreb, at the time the capital of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, in order to attend the opening of the Croatian National Theatre. A group of Croatian students used the visit to protest the rule of the Hungarian Khuen-Héderváry as Croatian ban. They were led by Stjepan Radić, who would later form the influential Croatian People's Peasant Party.


1895 visit by Emperor Franz Joseph to Zagreb, Events
The emperor arrived in Zagreb by train on October 14, 1895. Upon his arrival a group of students chanted "Slava Jelačiću" ("Glory to Jelačić"), in reference to the former Croatian ban Josip Jelačić who had risen up against the Hungarians in the Revolutions of 1848. That day the emperor attended the unveiling ceremonial completion of the Croatian National Theatre. Music by Ivan Zajc was subsequently performed inside the theatre.


1895 visit by Emperor Franz Joseph to Zagreb, Events
The following day, the emperor attended an honorary dance at the Kolo building. On this day a group of students led by Stjepan Radić, then a 24-year-old student of the Faculty of Law, planned a burning of the Hungarian tricolour.


1895 visit by Emperor Franz Joseph to Zagreb, Events
On October 16, the final day of the imperial visit, the students marched to Ban Jelačić Square where they chanted "Živio hrvatski kralj Franjo Josip I" ("Long live Croatian king Franz Joseph I"), "Slava Jelačiću" and "Abzug Magjari" ("Away with Hungarians"). They doused the Hungarian tricolour in brandy and set it on fire. They then marched towards the University of Zagreb. The city police soon informed ban Khuen-Héderváry of the act, and he ordered that the students be arrested. By the end of the following day, 24 were arrested, Radić among them.


1895 visit by Emperor Franz Joseph to Zagreb, Aftermath
The students were subsequently charged for the incident. Stjepan Radić was sentenced to six months in jail, Gjuro Balaško to five, and Milan Dorwald, Osman Hadžić, Vladimir Vidrić, Josip Šikutrić, Vladimir Frank and Ivan Frank to four months, while the rest were mostly sentenced to two months. The students were all barred from the University of Zagreb while Stjepan Radić was barred from all universities in the empire. This led him to continue his studies abroad in Paris. The other students went to the Charles University in Prague and the University of Vienna.


1895 visit by Emperor Franz Joseph to Zagreb, Aftermath
These students would form the basis of the Croatian Moderna, a cultural and political movement active at the turn of the century, characterized by anti-traditionalism, cosmopolitanism, and focus on artistic freedom. In 1897, the Prague group of students began publishing Hrvatska misao, while in 1898 the Vienna students began publishing Mladost.


1895 visit by Emperor Franz Joseph to Zagreb, Aftermath
The flag burning also resulted in a schism within the Croatian Party of Rights. Its leader Fran Folnegović distanced himself from the incident, and the dissenters, headed by Ante Starčević and Josip Frank, formed a splinter party, Croatian Pure Party of Rights.


1895 vote of no confidence in the Rosebery ministry
The vote of no confidence in the Rosebery ministry of 21 June 1895, also known as the Cordite vote, was the occasion on which the Liberal Government of the Earl of Rosebery was defeated in a vote of censure by the House of Commons. The motion was to reduce the salary of the Secretary of State for War as a censure over deficient supply of cordite to the Army, and when it was passed the Secretary of State Henry Campbell-Bannerman offered his resignation.


1895 vote of no confidence in the Rosebery ministry
As Campbell Bannerman was the most popular Minister in a Government which was suffering internal division and whose members had grown tired of office, the Government chose to interpret the issue as one involving confidence in the Government and therefore resigned. The incoming Conservative government soon sought a dissolution of Parliament and won the ensuing general election. The vote is the last time in the History of the British Parliament that a government has been defeated on a confidence motion when it had a workable majority.


1895 vote of no confidence in the Rosebery ministry, Background
Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery had become Prime Minister in March 1894, following William Ewart Gladstone's resignation, being the personal choice of Queen Victoria. Rosebery was told by the Queen's emissary (her physician, Sir James Reid) that he was "the only man of your party she likes and trusts". His choice over several other men with larger followings in the party, particularly Sir William Harcourt and John Morley led to inevitable tension, and Harcourt in particular did nothing to help the Government out of its difficulties. The Government was dependent on the Irish Parliamentary Party for its majority in the House of Commons, but could offer them little towards their goals as Gladstone's Second Home Rule Bill had been defeated by the House of Lords in 1893.


1895 vote of no confidence in the Rosebery ministry, Background, Cordite
Cordite was a new form of explosive which had only come into use a few years before 1895, and the Army was in the process of equipping with it. In the Army Estimates for 1895, Secretary of State for War Henry Campbell-Bannerman reported that new barrels for the Army's .303 rifles which were suitable for cordite bullets were being fitted, but that "it is unnecessary at present to provide for more than a liberally estimated supply for one year". The Conservative frontbench had been assured privately that there were adequate supplies, and cordite could be manufactured quickly, but the party chose to raise the issue in the House of Commons on 21 June when the Army Estimates came up for debate.


1895 vote of no confidence in the Rosebery ministry, Motion and Vote
The motion was made during committee and so the vote had a low turnout compared with other votes of no confidence. The opposition therefore made a motion that the secretary of war's salary be reduced by £100, effectively removing the confidence of the house from the secretary of state. The motion was passed by 7 votes. While this might have been treated merely as a vote of no confidence in Secretary for War Campbell-Bannerman, Rosebery chose to treat it as a vote of censure on his government. On 22 June, he and his ministers tendered their resignations to the Queen, who invited the Unionist leader, Lord Salisbury, to form a government. The following month, the Unionists won a crushing victory in the 1895 general election, and held power for ten years (1895–1905) under Salisbury and Arthur Balfour.


1895–96 Aston Villa F.C. season

1895–96 Aston Villa F.C. season, Season Highlights
John Campbell was a Scot from Celtic where he had won the Scottish championship twice, and later returned to the club. He had developed an outstanding reputation in Scotland, and emphasized his skill by scoring his 26 goals in just 26 games. 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) tall but nearly 12 stone (170 lb; 76 kg) in weight, he was said to be difficult to stop when running at the opposition's defence.


1895–96 Aston Villa F.C. season, Season Highlights
This was the season Villa lost the FA Cup – literally. Following their FA Cup win in 1894/95, it was on display in a shop window in Birmingham. In the night of 11–12 September 1895 it was stolen and never seen again. A replica had to be made to the same design. Villa were fined £25. Luckily they had it insured for £200!


1895–96 Aston Villa F.C. season, Season Highlights
James Cowan missed the new year fixture due to his attending (and winning) the illustrious 100 yard New Year Sprint event held at Powderhall, Scotland. The club fined him but he still made a healthy profit due to the prize money!


1895–96 Belgian First Division, Overview
It was contested by 7 teams, and F.C. Liégeois won the championship.


1895–96 British Home Championship
The 1895–96 British Home Championship was an edition of the annual international football tournament played between the British Home Nations. Despite England achieving an almost record 9–1 victory over Wales, the trophy was won by Scotland who won two and drew one of their matches, the draw coming in a hard-fought duel with Ireland.


1895–96 British Home Championship
Wales and Ireland kicked off the tournament with the Welsh heavily defeating the Irish in Wrexham. England too beat the Irish in their opening game, although by a smaller scoreline and England then achieved their 9–1 victory over Wales with Steve Bloomer scoring five, an England record. Scotland too beat Wales, scoring four without reply before being held by the Irish in an exciting and close match.


1895–96 British Home Championship
In the final game at Celtic Park, England and Scotland played for the trophy, England only needing a draw whilst the Scots required a win to take the tournament. To improve their chances, Scotland decided to select England-based players for the first time, holding a selection trial between their 'Home' and 'Anglo' players which became an annual event for the next 30 years. In a close and dramatic game, Scotland narrowly beat the English 2–1 and won the championship. The decisive Scotland v England match, watched by a crowd of 60,000, generated receipts of £3,640, a world record at the time for a football match.


1895–96 Bucknell Bison men's basketball team
The 1895–96 Bucknell Bison men's basketball team represented Bucknell University during the 1895–96 college men's basketball season. The team had finished with an overall record of 1–3.


1895–96 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season
The 1895–96 season was Burslem Port Vale's fourth consecutive season of football in the English Football League. Another poor season struggling at the wrong end of the table, this time they failed to gain re-election; two seasons in the Midlands League followed, and despite a finish of 7th and then 5th they were re-elected back into the Football League for the expanded 1898–99 season.


1895–96 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season
A season to forget, a 5–4 victory over eventual champions Liverpool was one of the few memorable days. This came during a run of games which saw 65 goals in 11 games. Overall a leaky defence kept just 5 clean sheets in 30 league and 4 cup games. On their travels the team lost all their games save for a 2–0 win over Rotherham Town on the opening day. From 21 September 1895 to 18 April 1896 they recorded 14 straight losses away from home, and went 27 games without a draw away from home between 26 January 1895 and 3 December 1898 – both club records.


1895–96 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Second Division
Vale finished in 14th place, with 18 points, 28 points short of champions Liverpool. They finished four points behind Lincoln City, who were safe from re-election. Having twice successfully applied for re-election in the past three seasons, this time round they lost their league status. Nearby Crewe Alexandra fared even worse than Vale, and didn't return to the Football League until 1921, whilst Rotherham Town were never to return. However Vale spent just two seasons in the Midland League before winning back their league status.


1895–96 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Second Division
The club suffered heavy defeats at Anfield, at Darwen, at Leicester Fosse, and in both clashes with Notts County and Grimsby Town. However they did manage victories over future giants of the game Liverpool, Newton Heath (later Manchester United), and Newcastle United.


1895–96 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Second Division
Top scorers of previous years were lost, Billy Beats sold to Wolverhampton Wanderers in pre-season, whilst Meshach Dean lost his touch. Goals at a premium, Ernest Beckett (8), and Jim Mason (6) were the only players to score with anything approaching regularity. Highly impressive goalkeeper Tom Baddeley was an ever-present for the second successive season, with left-back George Youds and centre-half Ralph Barlow missing just one match each. At the end of the season Baddeley and Eccles left for Wolves, Eardley and McDonald left for Stoke; all wishing to remain Football League players.


1895–96 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Cup competitions
Again Vale failed poorly in the FA Cup, easing past Scottish club Hereford Thistle in the first round of qualification with a walkover. The Second Round held league rivals Burton Swifts, who managed to draw at Vale's home and then win the replay with the odd goal. Facing rivals Stoke in the Staffordshire Senior Cup, they lost 4–0 at home.


1895–96 Celtic F.C. season
During the 1895–96 Scottish football season, Celtic competed in the Scottish First Division.

1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, August
Dumbarton’s first outing of the season was a formidable one with Rangers visiting Boghead on 17 August on league business. Rangers had never won at Dumbarton, and despite the fact that the new team were an untried unit, the Sons went into an early 2-0 lead with both goals scored by Saunderson. Nevertheless Rangers talent eventually came through and they scored four goals before half time. The final score was a disappointing, though hardly unexpected, 5-3 loss.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, August
A week later Dumbarton travelled to meet Dundee in the league at Carolina Park. In a disappointing performance the Sons were well beaten in a 4-1 defeat.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, August
The last day of the month saw the two clubs who were so far pointless in the league meet at Boghead – and it was the Sons who came out best against Clyde in a nine goal thriller 5-4.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, August
At the other end of the league table it was Celtic who were making the early running with 6 points from their first 4 games.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, September
On 7 September the destination was Logie Green to play St Bernards. The Edinburgh side were currently in fine form having dropped just one point from their first 3 matches, but they found the Sons more than a handful as the visitors built up an early 2-0 lead. The stamina of the professionals however was to tell and in the end the home side escaped with a rather fortunate 4-3 win.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, September
The following Saturday saw Dumbarton at home to entertain St Mirren, and in a spirited performance it was two home wins in a row with a well deserved 4-2 victory.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, September
On 21 September it was a trip back to Edinburgh, this time to Easter Road to take on Hibernian. At half time Dumbarton were well in the game being only 2-3 behind but in the second half the Sons had no answer to the powerful Hibs front men and at full time the home team had added four more goals for a 7-2 win.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, September
The final league game of September was another big challenge as Celtic visited Boghead. Things got tougher before the match began as Dumbarton had to draft in two players (Black and Reid) from Newtown Thistle, to replace Saunderson and Weir on the left wing. Nevertheless if Celtic thought that they might copy Hibernian’s goal feast of the previous week then they were mistaken. Although two goals down early on, the Sons got one back, from the replacement Black, by half time. Celtic scored a third, but Nash replied for Dumbarton and in the end were unlucky not to earn at least a point.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, September
So the league positions after 7 games showed Hibernian at the top with 11 points, a point ahead of Hearts and Celtic. Dumbarton were in 8th place with 4 points.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, October
October opened with a trip to Cathkin Park to play Third Lanark in the league. Once again there were forced changes in the team due to the departure of James Hartley to Sunderland. So with Saunderson still unavailable a reshuffle was required and new boy Morrice from Newtown Thistle was introduced at right back. Alex Miller at left back celebrated his 100th appearance in a Dumbarton shirt but the other changes had an unsettling effect and in a disappointing game Dumbarton went down to a 5-2 defeat.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, October
On 12 October Dumbarton had a break from competitive football  and arranged to play a friendly against Alliance League side Royal Albert in Larkhall. Unfortunately the home forwards were none too ‘friendly’ and the Sons came away after a sound 5-1 beating.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, October
The following Saturday it was back to league business with a home tie against champions Hearts. Again changes to the team were required with another new face at right back – Campbell from the reserves – and Nash was also missing. It was not unexpected that the Sons would struggle and so it was as they received a 9-2 thrashing.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, October
On 26 October it was another home fixture and again against an Edinburgh side, this time St Bernards. The Dumbarton team showed yet another change with John Gillan – an Aston Villa reserve - being played at centre half. The Saints had, like the Sons, been having a poor season but in a game which raged from one end of the field to the other it was the homesters that came out on top by 4-3.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, October
At the end of October Hibernian, Celtic and Hearts were equal at the top of the league on 16 points from 11 games. Dumbarton stayed in 8th place but now had 6 points.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, November
The first Saturday in November saw Dumbarton on their travels again attempting to break their ‘duck’ away from home. This time the team to face St Mirren was unchanged from the week before and while the first half was a drab affair but as soon as Dumbarton scored a minute into the second half the play improved and after an exciting 45 minutes the Sons held on for a 2-1 win and their first 2 points on the road.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, November
On 9 November Dumbarton entertained Hibernian at Boghead and hoped to improve on the away fixture in September. The team showed one change with Miller coming back in at left back in place of Thomson. However on the day luck was to desert the Sons by losing Nash in the first half and Hendry in the second to injuries. Nevertheless the remaining players made an impressive showing and only lost out to the league leaders  by 3-1.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, November
The following weekend Dumbarton welcomed county neighbours Newtown Thistle for a friendly. The match was a poor one but at the finish the Sons chalked up another victory by 2-1.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, November
On 23 November, for the second week in a row, it was a friendly fixture, this time with a trip to play Second Division strugglers Motherwell. There was another new face in at centre forward, Hugh McIlhany replacing James Stevenson who had moved south to join Preston North End, but it was the home team that started strongly and by half time were 3-0 up. Dumbarton improved in the second half and replied with two goals but were unable to find an equaliser and thus lost 3-2.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, November
The final game of November was played at Barrowfield against Clyde. The team was missing Gracie at centre forward and Docherty in goal and in their place came Samuel Woods from Greenock Morton and Richardson from the reserves. The home tie in August had been a thriller but this time it was mostly one way traffic with Clyde easing past a poor Dumbarton side 5-1.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, November
The league now had Celtic pulling ahead at the top with 22 points from 14 games – four in front of Hibs and Hearts. Dumbarton maintained 8th place with 8 points.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, December
On 7 December Dumbarton welcomed Dundee to play their return league fixture. Back in the team was regular goalkeeper Docherty and it was good thing too as he saved the Sons from a sound beating. Nevertheless Dundee left Boghead with both points after a 2-1 win.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, December
A week later it was another home fixture, this time against Third Lanark. With inside right Woods missing, Hugh Malloy from Abercorn was brought in. The game was an exciting one with Docherty again playing exceptionally in goal but in the end the stamina of the professionals told and the game finished 4-2 in their favour.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, December
Celtic, the league leaders, at Parkhead can be no tougher challenge and this is what Dumbarton faced on 21 December. Woods replaced Weir on the left wing but in front of a meagre crowd the result was never in doubt and the Celts ran out easy 3-0 victors.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, December
Dumbarton’s match against Hearts a week later fell victim to the weather, so at the end of 1895 it was Celtic who were in control at the top of the league with 28 points from 17 games, and Rangers 8 points behind with 3 games in hand. Dumbarton had slipped to 9th with 8 points, the same as Clyde in 8th and St Mirren in 10th.


1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the Season, January

On 4 January Dumbarton headed to Ibrox to play their penultimate league fixture. Rangers were still in with a chance of the title assuming they won all their remaining games. The Dumbarton team showed two changes with McNicol replacing Thomson at right back and Hastings stepping up from the reserves to take Nash’s place. Surprisingly Saunderson put Dumbarton into the lead but by half time Rangers had equalised and despite another splendid display from Docherty in goals Rangers superior stamina told in the end as they strolled to a 3-1 win.

After a postponement due to bad weather, Dumbarton got their Scottish Cup campaign off and running on 18 January. Coincidentally it was Rangers again but this time at Boghead. Thomson and Nash returned to the team and in a brilliant display which had been lacking for some time, Dumbarton were within three minutes of creating the biggest upset of the season. Woods had scored early in the second half to give Dumbarton the lead only for Rangers to secure a replay with a last gasp equaliser.
