ENGLAND'S NON-CONFORMISTS.
Lords Salisbury and Hartington Given
a Banquet.
London, Nov. 14.—The Non-Conformist
Union Association gave a banquet this
evening in honor of Lord Salisbury and
Lord Hartington. Mr. Balfour sent a letter
in which he expressed regret at his enforced
absence. He said the banquet would greatly
aid in dispelling the . fiction that non
conformist bodies were hostile to the policy
of the government.
SALISBURY’S SPEECH.
Lord Salisbury, in a speech, referred to
the significance of the meeting a short time
ago. He said it would have been impos
sible for thoso present to have mot at a
public dinner. Tho change was a subject
for congratulation, because it showed the
public danger they had to face, and that
the object they were fighting for dwarfed
all others. There was a vast amount of
opinion regarding Ireland which they had
no means of gauging.
INSANITY OF STATESMEN.
He looked with terror at the insanity
which had seized English statesmen. The
Gladstocians were sailing under sealed or
ders until they arrived in the congenial
zone of office. Whatever policy was then
declared could bo made consistent with
somejportion of Mr. Gladstone’s career. They
wero told to trust to the generous instincts of
Irishmen. But revolutionaries al ways pushed
the weak aside, and the farnellitos would
not be thrust aside by the sudden appear
ance of refined, scrupulous and honorable
statesmen.
Lord Hartington said that although Mr.
Gladstone had attacked the unionists, he
failed to answer their contention that the
Irish conformists were better able to judge
the question than their English brethren,
who supported Mr. Gladstone. Neither of
the two parties in Ireland could be trusted
to govern the whole. To leave the weaker
section at the mercy of their hereditary
opponents would be disgraceful.
IRISH OUTRAGES.
Mr. Russell Complains of the Course
of the Attorney General.
London, Nov. 14.—While the hearing of
witnesses in reference to outrages was pro
ceeding before the Parnell commission to
day, Sir Charles Russell, counsel for the
Parnellites, complained of the bad effect
that would be produced on his client’s case
by parading such a great amount of crime
ascribed to the action of the league, while
the connection between the incriminated
persons and the outrages was very slight.
A limit ought to be put on the amount of
evidence admitted.
Attorney General Webster, for the Times,
said be could not agree with Mr. Russell
upon the degre of connection of the league
with the outrages. Speeches inciting to
outrages had not yet come before the court.
mr. russel’s reply.
Mr. Russell responded: “Then let this
evidence be deferred until the speeches are
produced.”
Presiding Justice Hannen said the com
mission would not form an opinion upon
whether the persons against whom the
charges were made could tie connected with
the outrages by mere proof that outrages
were committed. They would be unworthy
of the position in which they were placed if
they were not able to keep their minds in a
state of equilibrium upon this point. He
hoped, however, that it would be found
possible to curtail the amount of evidence
of this kind.
Attorney General Webster then read a
long list of outrages.
RUSBIA AND THE VATICAN.
The Necessity of the Modus Vivendi
the Czar Seeks.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 14.—Well in
formed persons here deprecate the sugges
tion of certain newspapers that Russia
aini3 at an apprcachment with the Vatican
involving an inimical policy toward Italy,
and renewed coolness between the Vatican
and Germany. They say that the existence
of many questions regarding which
Russia has been at variance
with her numerous Catholic subjects and
with the pope, explains the necessity of
tho modus vivandi which Russia is seeking,
but which, however, need not be either a
concordat or political agreement.
MINISTER PHELPS BANQUETED.
He Gives an Inkling of This Country’s
Policy Toward Immigration.
Glasgow, Nov. 14. —The corporation of
Glasgow gave a banquet this evening to
Mr. Phelps, the American minister.
In response to a toast , Mr. Phelps made a
speech, which was received with great ap
plause. In the course of his remarks he
said that so long as Scotland sent
the class of men she had
hitherto sent to his country,
the doors of America, so far as Scotchmen
were concerned, would swing on their
hinges from Maine to California. America
was now more particular as regards immi
gration. Sbe did not intend to allow her
people to be contaminated by the leprosy
of Asia or tho off-scouring* or Europe.
PYtfE, M. P., DROWNED.
He Fell Overboard from a Bteamer
from Holyhead.
Dublin, Nov. 14.—A saloon passenger
named Pyne fell overboard last night from
one of the steamers running between Holy
head and Dublin and was drowned. It is
reported that the man was Jasper Douglas
Pyne, member of parliament for West
Waterford. It is certain that he em
barked at Holyhead yesterday evening for
Dublin. He has not been seen in this city
since the vessel’s arrival, and there seems
to be no reaonto doubt that it was he who
fell overboard.
PASTEUR INSTITUTE.
The Doctor Given an Ovation at the
Inauguration.
Paris, Nov. 14.—Pasteur Institute was
formally opened to-day in the presence of
President Carnot, several government min
isters, foreign ambassadors and tho Russian
grand dukes who are visiting Paris. Dr.
Pasteur received an ovation from tho people
present. In an address he expressed his
thanks for the support he had received in
fulfilling a humane task.
A British Steamer Founders.
London, Nov. 14. —The British steamer
Blaokwatch foundered on Nov. 2 iu latitude
36 N. and longitude 19 E. Tho number of
her crew is unknown. The Blackwatch,
which was an iron screw steamer of 936
tons, sailed Oct. 20 from Naples for Odessa,
and was probably returning from Odessa
when she foundered.

SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1888.
GORMAN TO WATCH QUAY
THE QUAKER’S SCHEME TO STEAL
THE HOUSE TO BE FOILED.
The Pennsylvanian, In Accordance
with Republican Custom, Already
Claims Everything—He Hopes to
Capture a Few Districts in the “Bor
der States,” But Has Other Sections
as a Reserve.
Washington, Nov. 14.—Senator Quay
has announced that there will be a repub
lican majority iu the next house. Ho makes
this announcement before the official re
turns are ready, just as the Chandlers an
nounced immediately aftor the election in
1876: “Hayes has 176 votes and is elected.”
He proposes to make his own prediction
good, just as the Chandlers did, and will
use whatever means he finds necessary.
The democrats have placed the work of
watching Senator Quay iu the hands of
Senator Gorman.
HAS HIS BYE ON HIM.
The flatter has his eye on Senator Quay’s
operations. Senator Quay’s first move
seems to be to capture the doubtful districts
right around Washington, in Maryh.nl,
Virginia, West Virginia and North Caro
lina. If Senators Gorman, Kenna, Barbour
and Ransom are correctly informed, tho
doubtful districts in these states bavo all
gone democratic, and the democrats have a
majority of one in the next House. If
Senator Quay is baffled iu his attempt to
upset tills result with the assistance of
Senator Mahone and Col. Dudley in those
states, ho will probably turn to Michigan
and California to get the one or two major
ity necessary to organize the House, so as
to give the republicans the committee of
elections, and enable them to seat a larger
majority.
ALL HE CLAIMS.
This is all Senator Quay claims to be able
to do now. The democrats will try to see
that ho does not succeed. There has been
some difference of opinion among democrats
as to whether it was desirable t make a
fight for tho organization of the House.
Two considerations arose, one was that it
was better to give the republicans full re
sponsibility for the government, with the
full measure of embarrassment, than to
hold the House by a majority too small
to be of any avail. The other considera
tion was that if given both house*
of congress, the republicans could not only
admit new republican states, but could in
crease their strength by anew apportion
ment as well. This last consideration, to
gether with a natural reluctance to yield
any power they may bo able to hold, has
led to the determination to hold the Hou e
if possible.
VOTE OF ARKANSAS.
C. R. Breckinridge Re-Elected to Con
gress by the Second District.
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 14.—Official
returns from the Second congressional dis
trict give C. R. Breckinridge, dem., 832
plurality over John M. Clayton, rep. Cate,
dem., is undoubtedly elected over Feather
stone, ind., who received the republican
support, but the official figures cannot yet
be given. Returns from tuirty-three c un
ties give Cleveland a plurality of 25,467.
CHARGED WITH INTERFERENCE.
St. Louis, Nov. 14. —Advices from Little
Rock, Ark., say that Charles C. Reed. Jr.,
Thomas Harvey, J. L. Lewis, William L.
Hobbs and James Palmer, were brought to
that city from Conway county, by United
States Marshal Faulkenberg, charged with
interfering with the recent elections held in
Plummerville, in that county. They are
prominent citizens and tho arrests have
created a sensation. It is claimed that the
ballot-box at Plummerville was stolen by
masked men on the night of Nov. 6, who
secured the box at the point of a revolver.
BETTING IN INDIANA.
A Million Dollars Believed to Hava
Changed Hands.
Indianapolis, Nov. 14.—As the official
returns slowly come in hundreds of election
bets are being paid. It is estimated that
about $200,000 has changed hands iu
Indianapolis and one of the best posted
betting men in the state who participated
actively in the campaign estimated that
not less than $1,000,000 was wagered on the
presidential issue iu the slate of Indiana.
The local democrats are consoled by win
ning smart sums from enthusiastic republi
cans on this (Marion) county, which went
for Cleveland by a plurality of 378.
REPUBLICANS HAVE A FEAST.
It is Presumed There Was No Crow
On tfie Festive Board.
New York, Nov. 14. —The republican
campaign operators to-night filled the main
hall of Delmonico’s brim full of enthusiasm
in celebration of the success of their
effort* in the late campaign. Nearly
ail the local republicans were present, and

was very artistically decorated. The speak
ers assigned were C. M. Depew, E. F. Shep
ard of the Mail and Express, John S.
Wise, George A. Sheridan, W. D. Guthrie
and Robert P. Porter of the Press.

Huruphrie will havo 76,000 plurality.
California’s Congressmen.
San Francisco, Nov. 14.—Official re
turns from the First Congressional district
have not yet been received. It is under
stood, however, that based on the latest re
turns, Thompson, democrat, now concedes
the election of his opponent, DeHaven,
republican. If DeHaven is elected the
California congressional representation will
stand five republicans and one democrat, a
gain of one republican.
Harrison’s Plurality In lowa.

charter in becoming one of the member* of
the great sugar trust on Oct, 1, 1887, and
other sugar companies, was brought to
trial to-day in the supremo court The
action is one of the results of tho Senate
investigating committee last winter, which
for the first time brought to light tho deed
of trust under which the different sugar
companies have formed a combination.
MERELY A QUESTION OF LAW.
It was substantially agreed at the outset
by the counsel that there would be no con
troverted question of fact for tho court to
pa-s upon, but it would merely boa ques
tion of law.
The formality of drawing a jury was
then gone through with. Tho jury were
told that as the only question at issue was
one of law for the court to decide upon,
their services would not bo needed at tho
(rial. They were only required to be pres
ent at the end of the case to go through l lie
formality of rendering a verdict as directed
by the court.
THE TESTIMONY.
The counsel agree 1 that the testimony to
be offered would not take any very groat
length of time, and that after to-day they
would ask to have the case adjourned until
Wednesday next in order to argue questions
of law. With this understanding, the
jurors were dismissed until next Wednes
day. Attorney General Tabor opened the
ease for the people, and the taking of testi
mony was begun. The witne-ses are some
of thos> who were before the state commit
tee and a'so before the congressional oom
mltttee investigating trusts, and tho facts
to-day stated have already been told.

"Bio general treasurer read an i emizod
report of the receipts and expenditures for
the year eliding June 30, 1888, and a supple
mentary report up to Oct. 31, 1888. The

A LOSS OF 300,000 MEMBERS.
In conclusion, Mr. Turner says:
‘'According to the receipts from the tax, the
membership has decreased about 800,000 during
tho past fiscal year, au l at the present time the
receipts are not sufficient to meet the necessary
expenses. In my opinion a reduction of $ ">,OOO
in expense* can be accomplished without detri

mend:
1. Abolition of mileage paid to representa
tives.
2. Consolidation of the offices of general sec
tary and general treasurer.
3. Reduction of the general executive hoard
to not more than live memliers; less, if possible.
This based upon the mileage and salaries paid
last year will reduce the expenditures as staled
above.
