The President’s Speech.
El, Paso. Tex., April 21.—The presi
dential party arrived here at 10 o'clo k thio
morning, on time, having made the run of
650 miles from San Antanio over the South
ern Pacific road promptly on time. Tha
wild and picturesque scenery of the Rio
Grande canyons caused wonder and admira
tion, and great interest was alsi shown in
the subsequent desolation of Llano Esta
cado. One of the incidents of the run
was the hearty recaption accorded the
President at the village of Del Rio,
Tex. Its inhabitants, mostly of Mexican
descent, turned out ia force and the school
children presented an address of welcome.
The station and neighboring buildings were
beautifully decorated with the American
colors and flowers. Brief speeches were
made by the President, Postmast r General
YVanamaker, and Secretary Rusk from the
rear platform, and as the train moved off
the children showered the visitors with
flowers. The mayor of Sanderson Invited
tr.e Presided to visit teat place,
which he described as the most
barren spot on earth. It was 11
o'clock at night when the train passed, so
this lugubrious invitation was declined. A
snort stop was made at Ysleta, Tex.,
claimed to be the oldest city in the United
States, where the President was received
by Mayor Robinson and serenaded by a
Mexican band.
A HANDSHAKING.
The President shook hands with a large
•number cf Mexicans and Indians, and re
ceived a profusion of flowers from the
children. El Paso celebrated the occasion of
the first visit ever made to it by a chief
magistrate ot the nation by a grand inter
national demonstration by the citizens of
the two republics. There was also a gen
eral participation on the part of the resi
dent Indians, The reception was a perfect
ovation. The city was elaborately
decorated with American aud Mexican
decorations, the public buildings and
business houses displaying a profusion of
muting. There woro many arches bearing
mottoes of “ Welcome to our President,”
‘•Welcome touur Mexican friends” and ‘‘Re
ciprocity with Mexico.” The last named
mottoes were in Spanish and English. The
American troops were drawn up in line at
the station when the train stopped, firing a
salute of twenty-one guns, and the band
played patriotic airs. The President
was greeted on the platform with
cheers, in which the citizens of both coun
tries participated. Gov. Currillos of Chi
huahua and his staff, and Gen. Rangel,
commander-in-chief of the Second zone of
the Mexican army, with a large military
band of thirty-five pieces, participated in
the reception as representatives of Presi
dent Diaz of Mexico, who was unable to be
present. The troops wore side arms, and
entered our territory by special permission
of President Harrison.
THE RECEPTION COMMITTEE.
The chief magistrate was received by a
committee including Mayor Caples, Gen.
A. G. Mallory and Maj. B. H. Davis, for
merly of the confederate ar.ny, and escorted
to his carriage. This was an open barouche,
drawn by four gray horses. Seated with him
in it were Gov. Currillos, Gen. Rangel of the
Mexican army and Gen. McCook. The other
members of the party oeoupied carriages
with prominent local and Mexican officials.
A procession was formed, including United
States and Mexican troops, Grand Army
posts, confederate veterans, the fire depart
ment, civic organizations and colored citi
zens, and the distinguished visitors were
accorded a great welcome and escorted to
the court house, where formal addresses
were made. When the procession reached
the neirest point to Mexioo, the artillery
battalion of that country fired a salute iu
honor of President Harrison.
THE MILITARY ESCORT.
Gen. Stanley and his lieutenant, Devore,
of the department of Texas, who had es
corted the President and party from Gal
veston, left them at this place, being re
lieved by Gen. McCook and his lieutenant.
Baker, of the department of Arizona, who
will accompany them to Los Angelos. Gov.
Priuce ~>t New Mexico also joined the Presi
dent at this point. The President arrived
here at 10 o’clock, central time, and, after a
visit of two hours, left at 10 o'clock. Pacific
time, for Tucson, Ari. This was due to the
difference in time. Central time is one
hour slower than eastern time, and Pacific
time ia two hours slower than Central
time.
THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS.
The following is the President’s address
at El Paso this morning:
My Fellow-Citizens—l have been journeying
for several days throughout the great state of
Texas. We are now about to leave her terri
tory, and receive from you this parting saluta
tion. Our entrance into the state was with
every demonstration of respect and enthusiasm.
This is a fitting close to the magnificent expres
sions which the people of this state have
given to ut. I am glad to stand at tills gate
way of trade with the great republic
of Mexico. [Cries of “Hear, hear” and cheers.]
I am glad to know that it is not only a gateway
of commerce, but a gateway of friondsaip.
[<'ries of "Hear, hear” and cheers. 1 That not
only do these hurrying vehicles of commerce
bear the products of fields and mines in mutual
exchange, but that they have
facilitated these personal relations which
have promoted and must yet more promote the
friendlir ess of two independent, liberty-loving
People. [Cheers.] 1 receive with great satis
faction these tributes of respect which have
been brought to me by the governor of Chihua
hua aud the representatives of the army of
Mexico. [Cheers.]
MEXICO THANKED.
I desire to return to them, and through them
to the peoole of Mexico, and to that illustrious
and progressive statesman who presides ovor
her destinies (cheers], not only my sincere per
sonal regard, but an assurance of the friendli
ness and respect of the American government
and the American people. I look forward wit h
interest to larger development of our trade;
to the opening of new lines of com
merce and new avenues of friendship. We have
passed that era in our history, I hope, when we
were aggressive and unpleasant neighbors. We
do not covet the traritory of any other people.
[Cheers. ] Put we do covet their friendship and
those trade exchanges which are mutually
profitable, [Cheers ]
And now, to you, my fellow citizens, I bring
congratulations for the rapid development
which you are making here, aud exteud
most cordial good wishes for a
realization of every fhope you have
for El i’aso and its neighborhood [Cheers.] All
republics are builded on the respect and confi -
<ience of the people. They are enduing and
stable as their institutions, and their rulers con
tinue to deserve their respect, f rejoice in that
these influences that tend to soften the asperi
ties of human life, the home, school and church,
have kept pace with the enterprises of com
merce and are established here among you.
THE FOUNDATION OZ COMMERCE.
All commerce and trade rest upon a founda
tion of social order. You cannot attract an in
cr-ased citizenship except as you give to the
world a reputai iou for social order (cries of
"Good, good,” and cheers], in which crime is
suppressed; in which the rights of the humble
are retqieciad [cheers], and where the courts
stand Asa bulwark of the personal and public
rights of every citizen, however poor. [Cheers. ]
I trust that as your city grows you will see
that these foundations are carefully and
broadly laid; then you may hope that a super-

fect in its security and grao\ shad me ia your 1
midst. [Cheers ] I am glad to meet my |
comrades of the Grand Army of the 1
Republic [cheers', survivors of the j
grand struggle for the union, which
was one of the few wars in history that
brought blessings to the victors and van
quisned. and that was follows l n,■ no proscrip
tions, no block, no executions, but by the re
ceiving again of those who h-d striven for the
destruction of the country into friendly citi
zenship, laying upon them no yoks that was
not borne by those veterans, that of obedience
to the law, and due respect for the rights of
others. [Cheers.]
Again, sir (to the Mexican representative),

brought from across this narrow river that sep
arates us, aud toyou. my follow cou dry men, I
extend my thanks and bid you good-by. [Pro
longed cheering.]
BRILLIANT DECORATIONS.
The handsome court house aud Mexican
consulate were literally covered with bril
liant decorations. From their carriages to
the platform in front of the court house the
presidential party passed between two lines
of about six hundred school ohildren dressed
in white. As the President mounted the
platform the Mexican military band played
“Hail to the Chief,” while the Mexican
battery stationed on the Mexi
can bank of the Rio Grande
commenced firing a salute of twenty-one
(runs. An address of welcome was deliv
ered by Gen. Malloy, at the conclusion of
which Gov. Carillo of Cbinuahua, Mexico,
welcomed the President to the border, and
extended the congratulations of his state
and the city of Juarez to the chief of the
United States. CoL Villaneux, represent
ing President Diaz, aud the Secretary of
War, next presented the President with
congratulations aud good wishes from his
government, and he was followed in the
same strain by Gen. Banjet of the Mexican
army.
COMMENT ON THE GALVESTON SPEECH.
London, April 21.—The St. James Ga
zette this afternoon publishes a long edito
rial review of President Harrtsou’s speeches
nt Galveston, Tex ,on Saturday last The
Gazette say e thatfthe President’., utterances
had been carefully considered by President
Harrison in confereuce with members of
his cabiuet. The Gazette adds that the
spoech indicates that the present adminis
tration intends to stick to the McKinley
tariff polioy, and that in order to seoure the
whole American market it will put pressure
to bear upon some of the neighbors of the
United States, aud offers advantages to
others.
WILL INVOLVE AN ENORMOUS OUTLAY.
The Gazette says: “Although this polioy
will involve an enormous outlay, it yet may
be approved by a large section of the Ameri
can voters. This artificial forcing of the
carrying trade cannot be done without great
cost to themselves and great injury to the
United States. Finally, we may conclude
that the obiect of the Republican party is
to exclude Great Britain from the United
States aud all South Amerioau markets, in
cluding the carrying trade of the now
worid. This policy may be narrow, selfish
and unjust aud contrary to sound econom
ical principles, but we cannot ignore it as
futile. The United States treasury is a
formidable weapon to work with.”
AUSTRIA UNPLEASANTLY SURPRISED.
Vienna, April 21. — The speech delivered
by President Harrison on Saturday last at
Galveston, Tex., bos caused an unpleasant
surprise in Austria, which has extensive
commercial relations with Central and
South America, The Neue Freie Pressa
m commenting on the speech says that
President Harrison must be either laboring
under agr.at delusion in imagining tjiat
the United States is able to wage a com
mercial war against Europe, or be playing
for re-election. Quoting statistics, they
show that tue bulk of the
trade of the eleven states con
cerned is with Europe. The paper asks:
"Whore will they find other purenasers for
their goods, since it is clear that Europe will
refuse to buy their products if they pur
chase exclusively from America?”
MOBILE AND SUBSIDIES.
The City Taking Great Interest la the
Bill.
Washington, April 21. —Advices have
been received at the postoflice department
tbat there is great interest and activity
among the business men of Mobile iu the
consideration of the subsidy bill. A dele
gation of prominent men from that city
called upon Postmaster Genera! Wana
maker while the presidential party
was at Birmingham, to present the
great advantages of Mobile as an
outlet of the mineral system of Ala
bama, and an important port from which
subsidized steamers should run. Anew
steamship line is proposed by a number of
northern ship ownei sand the Pan-Ameri
can Steamship oompany has recently been
chartered to open a line of steamers from
Mobile and Galveston to the southern
ports. Mobile stands second among the
gulf ports in depth of water over the bar,
and is believed to offer great advantages as
a shipping port for Central and South
America.
REITER RESTORED.
He is Given Command of the Thetis to
do Survey Work.
Washington, April 21. Commander
Reiter, who was involved in the Barrundia
affair, is to be restored to favor. Because
the commander did not protect Gen. Bar
rundia he was displaced from command of
his ship, the Ranger, aud received a sharp
letter of reprimand from Secretary Tracy.
That was Nov. 0 last, and since that date
the commander has Lem sojourning at his
home, at Pittsburg, Pa., under waiting
orders. He was to-day given command of
the Thetis, now at Mare Island, Cal., under
command of Lieutenant Commander Stock
ton. The vessel is being fitted out for sur
vey work, and will c mtinue the work of
surveying begun by the Ranger.
CRISP FOB SPEAKER.
How the Offices of the Next [House
Are to Be Distributed.
Washington, April 21.—According to a
distinguished democratic congressman,
who has corresponded with most of the
democratic members elect, it has been deter
mined to divide the principal officers of the
next House, so as to give the speaker to the
south, and the clerk, door-keeper and
sergeant-at-arms to the north and west.
Mr. Crisp, according to the same authority,
is now far in the lead for speiker, and Mr.
Keer of Pennsylvania for clerk.
Working of the Tariff Law.
Washington, April 2L —Only five mein
j bers of the Senate finance committee were
j present to day, so an adjournment was
taken until to-morrow, when tbe committee
will decide what course it will pursue under
the Plumb resolution, directing an inquiry
into the workings of the tariff law.
Aerial Navigation.
Washington, April 21.— Prof. Langley,
secretary of the Smithsonian institution,
stated at the national academy of soienoe
to-day, what was repeatedly stated at tbe
patent centennial meetings, that tbe problem
of aerial navigation was likely to be speedily
solved.
SAVANNAH, GA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1891.
RALLY OF THE RADICALS.
THE CONVENTION OF THE REPUB
LICAN LEAGUE OPENED.
Mayor Mosby Delivers the Address of
Welcoms for Cincinnati and Ex-Gov. ;
Fostir trie One for Ohio—Extracts
from tha Address of President Thurs
ton.
Cincinnati, 0., April 21.—N0 better
weather could be de3ired than favored the
first day’s meeting of the republican league
of the United States. Mutio Hall, where
the meeting took place, was beautifully
decorated with national flags and festoon
ing of the national colors. The delegates
were slow in arriving, and tbe proceedings
were begun an hour and a
quarter late. The meeting was called
to order by President Thurston. Then fol
lowed prayer by Rev. Howard Henderson,
pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal
church. It is an illustration of the progress
of peace and unification that this minister
called to pray at the republican leaguo
meeting was a brigadier general in the con
federate service, aud is a relative of Jeffer
son Davis.
THE ADDRESSES OF WELCOME.
Mayor Mosby, on behalf of the city of
Cincinnati, made the opening address of
welcome. He was followed by ex-Qov.
Foraker, who gave the weloome for the
state of Ohio. Hon. H. H. Powers of Ver
mont replied to the addresses of welcome,
ami then President Thurston made his ad
dress, from which some extracts are here
given:
This is a volunteer political organization of
the Republican party. It has no pay roll; it
controls no patronage; it asks no administra
tive favor; it is devoted alone to the advocaoy
and perpetuation of those great princi
ples which guarantee the liberty and
equality of every American citizen;
it follows the personal fortunes of no leader,
and will not commit itself to the candidacy of
any man; it is for the nominees aud platform of
the republican national convention It is true
that the enactment of tne McKinley bill,
so near election day that its pro
visions could not be explained, its
practical effects determined, or falsehoods
concerning it refuted, cosc the Republican party
thousands of votes. But before the next presi
dential election its beneficial effects will have
become apparent, and if any of its schedules
prove to be excessive or unjust, the Republican
party stands ready to correot its own mistakes,
without destroying the foundation principles of
the American protection. [Cheers.]
THE FARMERS ALLIANCE
The farmers’ alliance was undoubtedly an
important faotor in tbe election. It was first
organized iu the southern states, where it has
declared and proven itself a faithful ally and
supporter of tbe democraoy. Its organization
in the west has also been encouragod by the
Democratic party, as its membership must be
largely drawn from homesteaders and veterans
whose votes have heretofore made the
prairie states certaioly and reliably
republican. The importance of the movement
must not be underestimated by the Republican
party. The hope of the Democratic party to
day is based upon its ability to combine with
the alliance on electoral tickets in the western
states and thereby throw tbe election of a Pres
ident into tbe House of Representatives. In my
judgment, this result will never come, but if the
republican party expects to hold the allegiance
of western people, it must set) to it that western
interests are recognized, and western demands
given fair consideration in all legislative aud
administrative affairs.
A FEDERAL ELECTION LAW.
Mr. Thurston then urged the necessity of
a federal election law in the south. The
negro, he said, is the democratic nemesis. If
he is not counted for congressional aud elso
toral representation, the Democratic party
cannot exist. If be is counted at the polls
the Democratic party dies. [Cheers.] The
speaker reviewed the administration of the
Republican party, declared the party to
be the champion of civil service reform, aud
then took up the summary vengeance visited
upon the Mafia at New Orleans, saying:
Of one thing let ali Christendom take notice,
if other nations rid themselves of anarchists,
cut-throats, assassins an i lazzaronl at our ex
pense, the American people will protect them
selves. Our government stands ready to make
ample reparation for eyerv wrong done
to real citizens of any foreign power; but
as long as we have a republican administration
with James G. Blaine as Secretary of state
[tremendous cheering] no apology will be
offered and not a dollar will ever be paid for the
killing of any red-handed outlaw, though the
uavies of all Europe should thunder at our har
bors and the flag of the republic should once
more need a million muskets for its defense.
EX-GOV. FORAKKR’ti SPEECH.
The following is au extract from ex-Gov.
Foraker’s speech;
The r.'publicans of Ohio cherish with grate
ful recollection an 1 appreciation the name and
memory of Abraham Lincoln. [Applause J
They have just pride ia the stalwart loyalty
and patriotism of Ulyssesjl. Grant [applause],
aud an enthusiastic almiration aud devotion
for the greatest living American, Janies U.
Blaine. [Prolonged cheering.] You
seem to be affected the same
way [cheering], and well you may be,
for Secretary Blaine has given us a magnificent
administration. [Applause.] The republicans
of Ohio not only believe ia tno great men, but
in the great principles established by tbe iiarty,
from tha thirteenth constitutional amendment
down to the rulings of glorious Tom Reed. [Ap
plause. I They believe in a free baliot and fair
count [applause] and they despise with indig
nation the infidelity and cowardice whereby
the most sacred of all pledges of 1888 stands
yet unfulfilled. [Applause.] While they
welcome all who come to these shores in
good faith to become American citizens and
obey and become part of the laws and institu
tions of this country, they want the doors shut
against the Mafia of every other land. [Tre
mendous applauue.l We are soon to have our
state convention. 1 am not anticipating any
thing, for it is practically done already when I
say that on that occasion we shall take for our
platform the much talked about McKinley bill
(applause], and for our loader the gallant, brill
iant author of that great measure. [Cheers and
calls for McKinley.] Such ure the republicans
of Ohio, ana, being such, they Know how to ap
preciate you. Your convention Is their conven
tion: your coming is but the coming of your
own. [Applause.]
COMMITTEES APPOINTED.
When President Thurston’s address ended
provision was made for the appointment of
committees and a motion was adopted to
meet to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock.
During the confusion t at? preceded the ad
journment, an Indiana delegate, Mr. Cole of
rihe.lbyviilo, created a limited seusation by
declaring that he would cull a meet
ing to denounce the treatment of
President Harrison. He was quickly
surrounded by other delegates and quieted.
His compiant arose from the allusion of ex-
Gov. Foraker to Secretary Blaine as having
"given us a magnificent administration.”
The manner in which tbe applause followed
tbat declaration showed that there was a
feeling as if there was an intentional ignor
ing of President Harrison. The Indiana del
egate was quieted for the time and the con
vention adjourned. Mr. Cole subsequently
cailed a meeting of tbe Indiana delegation
and proposed that some formal notice of the
matter be taken. After consideration it
was deoided to refer the matter to the com
mittee on resolutions, inasmuch as it was
thought likely that ex-Gov. Foraker did
not intend to convey the meaning that Sec
retary Blaine was the ruling spirit of the
administration, but that he meant to com
pliment the administration of his own offioe
of Secretary of State.
A MASS M-ETING AT NIGHT.
The republican league held a mass meet
ing in Music hah to-night. William Mc-
Kinley was the central figure aud
chief speaker. He was presented by Mr.
Thurston as tha next governor of Ohio and
one of the future Presidents of the United
States. Among other things Mr.McKinley,
referring to chargee against the Fifty-first
congress, that it was expensive, raid: “Yus,
it used a great deal of money, but it ;>nid
its debts and a large arrearage of indebted
ness left over by the Fiftieth congress. But
it kept all its pledges save one- the election
bill —and it was no fault of congress that
it did not pass that bill. We kept faith
with the creditors that bought our bonds iu
our time of sore need, and now we mean to
keep faith with that other creditor, whose
services are above pi ice, the soldiers who
offered their lives iu defense of the country.
We stamped tbe life out uf repudiation.”
The speaker here made a comparison of
the state of the finances in the administra
tions of ex-Fresident Cleveland aud Prosi
dent Harrison. As to circulation of the
currency, he said that If more were needed
it would t>e forthcoming, but whether it
tie gold or silver or paper It must be worth
just what Its face says its value is. To the
charge that the mission of the party had
ended, he said no, it would not end till the
American ballot was as sacred as tbe
American home.
PINKERTON MEN ON HAND.
They are to Take the Placo of the
Militia.
Pittsburg, Pa., April 21.—Four carloads
of Pinkerton guards arrived in the coke
regions to-day. All were heavily armed.
Two carloads were from Philadelphia and
125 men from Chicago. It is thought that
thtse men will take the place of the militia,
as Gov. Patteison will not allow the na
tional g iards to be used to evict strikers.
RALLY or THE STRIKERS.
Bcottdai.e, Pa., April 21.—T0-night
the strikers are gathering their force* to
overcome the last and most powerful issues
brought to bear by the operators.
They are face to face with two
hated and feared institutions—Pinker
ton detective forces and an alleged
invasion of imported labor. About 300
Pinkerton detectives will be brought into
tbo region to-night and distributed aro md
tho different works, where most strenuous
efforts are being made to resume. Thor*
aro said to be eight carloads of them, and
as tbe news of their ooming precedes them
throughout the region there Is constantly
increasing excitement.
HITTER HATRED.
The men have a bitter dislike for the
Pinkertons and have often expressed a do
sire to wipe them off of the face of the
earth. Theircotning mean* further trouble,
which will certainly follow, owing ’to
the hatred iu which they ate
held. A batch "of 100 Pinkertons
arrived here to-day and were placed on
duty at Leisinrlng No. 3, where extraordi
nary efforts will be made to start in the
morning, against the protest of the strikers.
AU of the new and unwelcome guards are
well armed with Springfield rifles, and are
a determined set of men.
NO EVICTIONS.
Thero were no evictions in this section to
day, the deputies preferring to wait uutil
tbeir safety is assured.
A meeting of the excciltivo board of the
mine workers was held here this evening
and preparations in financial and other ways
were made to prolong tho fight. James
Mcßride, of the miners’ board, says there is
no doubt that they can stand the fight for
several months yet, aud that their finances
are all right, and that more money is com
ing in.
There are 500 or 600 Italians on their way
here, and they will bo stationed at both the
Frick and McClure works iu tho morning.
It is said they have been gathernl up
throughout the Punxsutawney coal roglon.
TO ARGUE WITH THE RECRUITS.
The labor leaders are combining thoir
forces of spe ikerz aud will make oveiy
effort to persuade the foreigners to leave.
Interpreters have been gathered together
and will hold meetings at every point whore
the men are to work this morn
ing. This importation of Italians simply
means the beginning of tho wholesale im
portation of foreign lubor that has been
threatened for a long time by the operators.
This iu connection with the Pinkerton men
will make the situation here at once more
Interesting and dangerous.
GRIP TAKES A NEW BTART.
The Death Liatat New York Jumps Up
to 251.
New York, April 21.—The number of
deaths reported to-day waz 251, an increase
ot nearly 100 over yesterday. Of this num
ber twenty-seven were credited to the grip.
The death rate to-day was larger than for
any otner day this year.
INCREASING IN ENGLAND.
Sheffield, England, April 21.—The
influenza or la grippe epidemic existing in
this neighborhood aud else* here in Euglnud
is increasing in serious proportions. Num
bers of public official*, clergymen,and physi
cians have been ot.acked, and thousands of
people in other walks of life have been or
are still more or lean seriously affected
by the prevailing malady. Bo extensive and
severe has been the spread of this scourge
that a number of manufacturing works will
probably be compelled to suspend opera
tions. owing to tbe number of their em
ployes who are absent from work, owing
to the influenza or its attendant complica
tions. In some instances one-third of
the number of workmen employed iu
the factories are on the sick
list, and at present there seems
to be but Blight prospect of an early abate
ment of the epidemic. At Cleethorpe-with-
Thrunscoe, a township in Lincolnshire, near
Great Grimsby, the epidemic’s ravages have
been so severe that great alarm is felt
throughout tho place. Out of a population
estimated to amount to about 1,700, over
200 people are confined to trieir beds, suffer
ing with the influenza.

CAPETOWN PAPERS INCENSED.
A dispstch from Capetown says: “Tho
Cane Arjus (official) has received advices to
the effect that Lord Salisbury has decided
notto take official action upon the Beira inci
dent except to send a remonstrance to Lis -
bon. A mass meeting has boon summoned
to protest against tho government's inac
tion. The Caoe Times advises that the im
perial flag be lowered unless colonial inter
ests arafproteoted."
Tho Press Association announces that
Lord Salisbury has dirocted the British
minister at Lisbon to demand from the
Portuguese government an immediate ex

A SPEECH BY SALISBURY.
The Irish Question Touched Up from
a Conservative Standpoint.
London, April 21. —At the annual meet
ing of tho Primrose 1-ug.io to-night Lord
Salisbury read a carefully prepared speech.
Referring to the political situation, Loril
Salisbury said that though the present as
pect ofaffairs was encuuruging.tlie conserv
atives must not doff their armor. Tho
Irish question was one which this genera
tion must solve. Lord Salisbury did not be
lieve that the coming general election would
solve the {question, adding tiiat whichever
way tho eleotio is went he could promise
that the other party would have no rest so
far as tho Irish question was concerned.
[Great oheering. ] Lord Salisbury said that,
(hanks to Secretary Balfour, there had
been flve years of resolute government in
Ireland, which country was now enjoying
a state of peace und prosperity which it
has not known for years.
I'KAISE FOR THB TIMES).
The Times, Lord Halisbury said, hod done
enormous service to the community at large
in showing Mr. Parnell’s connection with
the most violent Irish agitators. The
speaker also said that he would regard Mr.
Parnell’s sue. ess as one of the greatest
blows which the empire oould receive, and,
he added, thezuccossof the auti-Parnellites
would be uo less injurious. They
knew, said Lord Salisbury, that Mr. Par
nell hud the sympathy and that ho received
the money of American conspirators, while
Mr. McCarthy, they were aware, repre
sented tbe secular effort# of some people
who hold high spirituul rank in the Romish
church. [Applause.] After tho applause
which his last remark called forth had sub
sided, Lord Balisbury said that he had n t
the slightest intention iu anything which
he said of speaking indignantly of Roman
Catholics, but he desired to warn
them of the dangers whiob aroze from tho
ministers of any religion using thoir posi
tions as religious teachers ns a moans of
figuring a* political leaders. [Cheers.]
PREACHERS IN POLITICS.
He thought that the reverence and re
zpect due to the bish ps would diappear
when they had behind them tho familiar
features of Bound horst, (the organiz
ing chief of the Central Lib
eral Association). Could they im
agine, continued Lord Balisbury, tho
Archbishop of Canterbury summoning
the Protestant clergy to resolve upon a
change in the leadership of the Conserva
tive party? [ Laughter.] He would certuinly
demur at such an exercise of influence, aud
he would not be alone in demurring. Im
agine an English clergyman denouncing
from the altar every liberal in his parish,
and the London clergy leading their sub
missive flocks to the polls under threats of
spiritual consequences in case they refused.
In Great Britaiu this was impossible. Yet
the English electorate were asked
to place Ireland under this
hybrid socular-ecolesiastloal p >wer. In
bo doing they would place their brethren of
tho north of Ireland uuder a novel, mon
strous power from which they would re
ceive no mercy. ICheers.] Lord Salisbury
concluded by advising courageous, unflag
ging pursuit of tbe objects ami airm or tho
Primrose league. There were times of groat
danger before thorn. The society had a
great cau*e to maintain. It had been raised
up at a critical period of England’s necessi
ties to defend principles having the sanc
tion of centuries, aud thus defeat the wild,
fantastic imaginations which were leading
astray many communities In many parts of
the world.
GLADSTONE EXCITED.
London, April 22, 3 a. m. —The House of
Commons was yesterday the scene of an
unusual outburst of temper on the part of
Mr. Gladstone. During the sitting in com
mittee, T. YV. Russell charged the liberals
with trying to defeat the Irish
land bill. Mr. Gladstone, facing
around, exclaimed: “That ia absolutely
untrue.” The House wa* aghast, and Mr.
I'usseil tried to make an explanation, when
Mr. Gladstone darted forward and
reiterated in more parliamentary language
his assertion that Mr. Kuaseli’s statement
waz contrary to fact. Mr. Russell,
resuming, qutetiy observed that thero
weie so many leaders of the opposi
tion that it would lie advisable
to drop the subject. This did not improve
Mr. Gladstone’s temper, and when Mr.
Haundereon rose and congratulated him for
supporting the bill, Mr. Gladstone’s anger
was redoubled, and he again gave vent to
language rarely heard on tbe front bench.
The unpleasant episode pleased a few
rascals, but Mr. Gladstone’s colleagues
looked nervous and ill at ease.
Virginia's Debt Negotiations.
London, April 21.—The negotiations be
tween Mr. Ellis of the American committee

mended by Messrs. Cleveland, Bayard,
Phelps and others.
GRENADIER GUARDS REVOLT.
They Refuee to Obey Their Comm .nd
er’a Order to Parade.
London, April 21. —For some year* past
there has been a feeling of growing discon
tent, real or Imaginary, in some portious of
the British army. This feeling, It was sup
posed, came to a head about a year ago,
when tbe Second battalion of the Grenadier
Guard mutinied and were ordered to Ber
muda. But this morning there i renewed
and great excitement in military cir
cles, caused by the mutinous demon
stration in almost every particular similar
to that which caused the Seoond battaliou
of tha Grenadier Guards to lie sent to Ber
muda in disgrace, and agaiu It is tho Gren
adier Guards, tha crack infantry guards
men ot England, ilia famous "British
Grenadiers,” wh > are in revolt. The Third
battalion of tho Grenadier Guards, who are
at present quartered at Chelsea barracks in
this city, were ordered to parado in fail
marching order at 8 o'clock this morning.
The men, who have been in a sullen frame
of mind for soma time pest, refused to obey.
APPEALED TO MV THKJK OFFICERS.
Tho officers of the battalion ho id a hur
ried consultation, aud leading non-oommu
sioued officers, in pursuance to the officers’
orders, attempted to reason with the muti
neers and persuade them to turn out and
parade, and not to bring more disgrace
upon the distinguished corps to which they
belonged. Tho argument of the non-com
missioned officers eventually had some
effect upon the angry privates, and, after
a long period of waiting, four companies
of the Third battalicn.of grenadiers strag
gled slowly ami with every mark of
outward discontent out upon the parade
ground of Chelsea Barracks. The remain
ing companies, however, refused to leave
their rooms iu the barracks. The men
having the longest terms cf service were
placed under arrest and an investigation
iuto the cuuso of the mutiny was com
menced in order that a preliminary report
upon the subject may bo placed before the
Duke of Cambridge, commander in chief of
the forces. Tho discontent has boon grow
ing for a long time past.
WHAT THE MEN RAT.
The|mutinoors, In explanation of thoir con
duot, claim that the order issued to them to
parade in full marching order is an unprec
edented step) for their commaudmg officer to
take upon a day when the battalion is called
upon to mount guard at the palaces, etc.,
on the same day. The men also declare
that they have heeu long subjected to a
series of excessive aud aunoying drills for
which there was no cause or reason.
A PREMEDITATED affair.
The mutiny appnaars to have
been a premeditated affair. It
was at first supposed that
the trouble was confined to tho guards wlm
are quartered at the Chelsea barracks. It
is now announced that there was also a
serious display of hod feeling upon the part
of a detactiuent r 'f the Grenadier Guards
quartered at Bt George’s harracks,
ut tho hack ot Trafalgar square.
This morning as usual they
were ordered to Dorado, and after
some deluy did turn out, but when they ap
peared on the parade ground it wan evi
dent that they we e In a depressed and dis
contented state of intnd. The result was
that their officers, who had been hastily in
formed of the occurrence at Chelsea bar
racks, soon dismissed tho Ht. George bar
racks contingent for tho day, except those
who hail been previously told off for guard
duty. Three of the most insubordinate
wore arrested.
