Loe>i°n, Nov. 9.—The annual banquet of
!a Lord Mayor of London took, place at
he Guild Hall this evening. There were
1(OU t 850 guests present, including mem
bf,.; of the diplomatic corps, cabinet min
jsltrrs and other distinguished people and
their wives.
V i, r the formal reception In the library
was the usuai procession to the great
j.,,11 which served as the banqueting
place. v
\fi. r the usual loyal toasts the navy
a ,i,l ,1-my were toasted. Admiral Sir Wil
liam Kennedy and Gen. Lord Wolseley re
sponding lor their respective forces, which
wire described as being in a perfect state
of preparedness to meet any power dis
puting Great Britain’s just claims. Tne
brevity of the speeches showed that every
cn , realized there was general anxiety to
in n- the Marquis of Salisbury, who, on
r ng to respond to the toast of “Her
Majesty's Ministers,” was greeted with
ponderous cheers.
Tin? premier began by saying that a suc
c on of events abroad had occasioned
grave anxiety to the ministry for a year
past.
Turning to the crisis with France, the
pninier remarked: “We have had quite
recently to consider whether the question
of a Kuropean war was not very near.
Bin. with great interest and consideration,
the result has turned out happily, through
the great Judgment and common senso
displayed by France under circumstances
of unusual difficulty, which, I think, have
re!i<vcd Kurope of a very dangerous and
threatening storm.
"While matters were in suspense the
government was necessarily forced to take
precautions that it should not be taken
unawares These precautions were most
prompt and effective, but the immediate
n, sslty for them has passed off.
"There,has been some surprise on both
sM> of the channel at the fact that these
preparations have not suddenly ceased, but
it is impossible to stop them at a mo
ment's notice.
After referring to the various rumors of
intended action arising out of these prepa
ralionr. including the seizure of Syria and
Crete and the declaration of a protector
ate over Egypt—the latter allusion being
greeted with immense cheering—Lord
Salisbury continued: f
"I am sorry to say I qannot rise to the
high aspirations indicated by the cheer
ing of ihe audience. I do not venture to
prophesy, if we are forced by others into
a position we do not now occupy, what
may occur, but we are well satisfied with
th, existing state of things, and we do not
think any cause has arisen to necessi
taie effort on our part at present to mod-
ify it. >
The position occasional friction,
hut, uking the situation, as a whole end
considering the feelings of* Oilier people as
veil as of our own, we can rea>(iably rest
for the present with the existing state of
affairs. I must not be understood as mean
ing that Great Britain's position In Egypt
is the same now as it was before the fall
of Omdurman, but we earnestly hope .hat
circumstances will not make it necessary
materially to modify that position, as we
are convinced the w.rld would not then go
on so peaceably as now.”
R< ferring again to the war preparations,
ami asking his hearers to look to the state
of ihe world, Lqrd Salisbury observed:
"The Czar has invited a congress to pro
vide for the disarmament of the world;
but, while we offer our heartiest tribute
to his motives, we are willing to assist
end sympathize in. every way until the
happy day when his aspirations are
crowned with success, we must still pro
vide precautions needful to counteract the
dangers surrounding us. In some respects
this era, this great epoch in the history
of nun, is marked by unhappy omens. It
is tin tirsi year in which the mighty forces
of ihe American republic has been intro
duced among nations whose dominions are
expanding, and whose instruments, to a
certain extent, are war.
"I am not implying the slightest blame.
Far from it. I am not refusing sympathy
to ih? American republic in the difficul
ties through which it has passed; but no
one can deny that its appearance among
factors Asiatic, at ail events, and possi
bly in European diplomacy, is a grave and
eerious event, which may not conduce to
the interests of peace, though I shink, in
any 'vent, it is likely to conduce to the
lot* rests of Great Britain. (Cheers.)
“But what has been impressed upon us
I? (hat the subject matter of war is ter
ribly prevalent on all sides. We see na
tions decaying, whose government is so
bad that it can neither maintain the pow
er of self-defense nor retain the affection
of its subjects; and when this occurs there
are always neighbors impelled by some
motive— it may be the highest philan
thropy, or It may be the natural desire
of empire—to contest as to who shall be
h<ir to the falling nation; anA that is the
cause of war."
i 'rd Salisbury then alluded to the ra-
Pi’i ' and unexpectedness with which
"us break out, and said; “If Great Brit
ain should ever permit her sea defenses
'o w, uken, her whole empire would come
clattering to the ground. It is, therefore,
imp? slide, in the present state and tem-
I l ' l ( ihe world, to intermit our naval
and military precautions.” a
fl- concluded by rdpudiatirfg‘“all sug
jo n? that our preparations mean that
th. , uritry is animated by the lust of a
st or a love of war,” declaring that
" Britain was only "resolved to main
ih, , mpire Britons have received from
ir forefathers, and to support the peace

BUFFALO HAS A BREAKDOWN.
She I’ntu Into Newport While Manila
Bound—Court a( Inquiry.
Washington, Nov. 9.—The cruiser Buffa
lo, which sailed last Saturday from San
dy Hook, bound for Manila, to join Admi
ral Dewey.'s squadron, put in at Newport,
R. 1., to-day with machinery broken
down.
Capt. Hemphill, commanding the ship,
reported to the department by telegraph
that he had been unable to proceed fur
ther on his course, and had been obliged
to seek a shore station to repair. He ask
ed for an Investigation to fix the respon
sibility for the break-down, and Secre
tary Long responded immediately by ap
pointing Commander John McGowan, su
perintendent of the training station; Com
mander C. H. Stockton, president of the
war college, and Chief Engineer R. S.
Griffin of the Mayflower, court of inquiry,
with Lieut. W. I. Chambers as Judge ad
vocate. The court will meet Friday at
Newport.
Such information as the navy depart
ment has indicates that the break-down
is not serious, and is confined to some of
the valve gear of the air pumps.
The Buffalo was formerly the Nlchteroy
of the Brazilian navy, and before that
even was a merchant ship plying between
New- York and Rio. Our government pur
chased her from Brazil at the outbreak of
the war, bu| she was found to be in
wretched condition as the result of many
years of neglect. She will resume her
voyage at the earliest possible moment.

N ears of Age.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 9.—Wade Hampton,
a negro convicted of the murder of George
Lofton, another negro, was hanged In the
Fulton county jail a few minutes before
noon to-day.
The negro was but 19 years old. but
during these few years had achieved a
criminal record worse than anything in
the annals of the county. He was a con
vict confined at the camp of the Chatta
hoochee Brick Company when the crime
was committed that cost him his life.
I .of ton was a fellow convict. Both had
lost a leg and were unable to do routine
labor and were thrown together a good
deal. They were constantly fighting, and
one day, after they had gone to their
quarters, Hampton sprang upon the oth
er with a pocket knife and cut him to
death. They had bean quarreling all that
day. While waiting io the prisoner’s room
at the court house for trial, Hampton bor
rowed a knife and cut another negro man
also waiting for trial. He seemed to have
a thirst for blood. After being sentenced
to death this negro put on a defiant air
and when his old mother and a preacher
called on him several days ago ho cursed
them terribly and ordered them away.
To the sheriff, when told that he would
be hanged between IT and 1 o'clock, he
said he would consider it a favor if he
was hanged before noon so he could reach
hell for dinner and before ihe ice cream
was all melted.
This morning, however, he weakened
and saw his mother and a preacher, and
when the trap was sprung he went down,
exclaiming: “I’m ready to go. I’m going
to heaven.”
The execution was the first in the new
jail. It took place in a room built for
the scaffold and was strictly private. No
newspaper reporters or outsiders were al
lowed to witness it, the sheriff, his depu
ties, the preacher and county physician
being the only persons present.
The Gentler Sex.
From the Atchison Globe.
The world esteems a goo) bread-winner
more than it esteems a poor elocutionist.
A woman thinks she isn’t progressive
these days unless she introduces a 'new
breakfast food in the house once a week.
If a woman has as many as two pots
of chrysanthemums in bloom she Is not
doing her duty by her opportunities unless
she gives a chrysanthemum show.
An Atchison girl studied music from the
time she was 12 years old until she was 28,
and dressmaking ever since.
It is claimed by an Atchison man that
the women seen oftenest waiting their
turn in a dressmaker’s parlor are the ones
who are oftenest found in a doctor’s office.
He argues that the women who have time
to have a great many clothes made have
the most time in which to Imagine they
are sick.
An Atchison woman who has laid her
third husband unddh thh’’daisied; 1 and Is
struggling along with a fourth, has made
the discovery that the advice on "How to
Mknage a Husband” in a woman’s maga
zine which she has always faithfully fol
lowed was written by a woman who never
had a husband.
An attempt to give a series of parties for
three Atchison brides has beep given up.
It was found that the brides are too new;
they don't want to compel their husbands
to eat a cold meal in the cupboard or go
to a restaurant down town. After they
have been married longer they will play
whist at a neighbor's all morning, go to a
reception in the afternoon and look lone
some when compelled to stay alone with
their husbands in the evening.
The guest sees Ihe best china in the
house at his first meal, but every suc
ceeding day more cracked and old china
appears, and when the day comes when he
can count as marly as six dirt spots on the
table cloth it is a sign that his visit is up
and he must go h?me.
An Atchison man. in order to secure his
wife's undivided attention for a few min
utes, was compelled recently to disguise
as a peddler and coll upon her. When he
found her interested in his stock of but
tons and hairpins he threw off his disguise.
“A Dangerous Man.”
From the London Chronicle.
Here is a story illustrative of the Ignor
ance of the colonies that once prevailed In
the colonial office and Is not yet entirely
banished from Downing street.. As we All
know, the late Lord Carnarvon, when colo
nial secretary, officially recorded his opin
ion of Sir George Grey as “a dangerous
man.” Sir Charles Oa' an Duffy, on one
of his visits from Victoria, called upon
Lord Carnarvon in Downing street, and
in conversation chanced to Introduce a
reference to Sir George Grey. "Avery
dangerous and Incomprehensible charac
ter,” said Lord Carnarvon, with a shake
of the head; “I hear he has now with
drawn to an island off the coast of New
Zealand and surrounded himself with a
number of wallabies.” “Oh, yes, I think
that Is not at all improbable," replied Sir
Charles. “You surprise me,” rejoined Lord
Carnarvon; "what must be the state of
morality In a country where you mul.e
light of such a proceeding?” “Why, my
lord, what do you suppose a wallaby to
be?” “A half-Oaste female, of course. Is
that not so?" “Certainly not; a wallaby
is simply a small kangaroo."

OCTOBER ON THE SALT MARSHES.
Some of Autumn’* Glories Where
Continent and Ocean .Meet.
Isaac O. Rankin in the Congregatlonallst,
Beyond a gentle slope of vivid green the
marshes broaden, their level broken only
by forest-covered islands here and there
and the smaller Islets made by tho salt
haymows. Far away are white sand dunes
that mark the ocean shore, and grassy
hills, posted like sentinels to watch the sea.
Waving brown grasses, whose blades and
spears still glisten In the sunlight like the
Jeweled sheath of a caliph’s scimiter, hang
over the edge of the brimming river. Far
away a white sail moves above the marsh
on unseen waters, but except for that the
whole life of the scene Is that of the Oc
tober wind, cool on our faces and made
visible in ripple and In waving grass.
This Is the meeting of continent and
ocean, the debatable land where the tides
at flood argue for the sea’s right and at
ebb Invite the forces of the earth to build
and repair and take possession. Its life
Is k thing apart, having its own laws, born
of the union of tlie sea. and shore. Its In
habitants must be prepared for flood as
they are rooted in the mire. The breath
' ot the wind grows salt as It blows over Its
wide spaces. It has the level of the sea
without Its shrinking arid return, and the
appearance of the earth without solidity or
fear of drought. Its grasses must be cut
and gathered with permission of the tides
and Its mows of salt hay, lifted up upon
their platforms, watt for connivance of the
frost before the ways aro firm enough to
bear the loaded wagons to the waiting
barn. Along the edges inter of brown
wrack, in which shells and driftwood min
gle, tell of the floods and the mower’s
scythe reveals skeletons of sea creatures
stranded and devoured.
Strange forms of plant and flower—the
mermen and fnermuideriß of the vegetable
world—grow among the wet, salt grasses.
They are fleshy in stem and leaf like sea
weed, but often strangely beautiful in
flower. Even the land plant* near tho
edges feel the spell of the oceans pres
ence. June has more deeply tinted roses
here than any Inland till! can show. The
autumn nourishes its brilliant seaside gol
den-rods and asters, ami so long as kill
ing frosts withhold their sting the pim
pernel opens every pleasant morning to
the sun. The ocean birds with their long
legs and bills come seeking the seas
bounty, but there are land birds also. The
redwings nest on the tussocks of the
marsh, the seaside finches and sparrows
spend their shy and happy lives within
roach of the salt breath of the sea, and
the reedy edges of the marsh hear their
pleasant songs.
September is the month of richest color
tn this disputed land, between the ocean
and the shore, but the ripened, If mere
sober, hues of October are not less won
derful. The mown levels are all In green
and brown, with here and there a patch
of samphire deepening into crimson. In
neglected corners and along the creek and
river banks the grass waves tn rippling
brown lights that are lustrous In the sun.
The yellow of golden-rod Is faded about
the shore and the purple of asters, but
the wootj„ are kindling. Already hickories
ere bright and oaks aro changing. The
marshes have had their turn, it is now
time for the upland. From the crimsons
and yellows of wood nnd thicket the heart
turns for relief nnd delight to these level
spaces of cool brown and green lighted
by the blue gleams of the river us a face
is lighted by a kindling eye. To the de
light of beauty, the marshes add the
thought of peace and quietness. So tho
sky rests one’s thought In the strain of
great excltemi nt-dts amplitude, its quiet,
its slow-moving clouds, Its constant stars’
after the confusion of strange experiences.
Beautiful as the salt marshes are seen
from the hills that bound them, they are
most beautiful from the lower ground.
It is their level that enchants the eye.
Here is an island crowned with oak for
est. From the hilltop It seems flat and
Insignificant—a rounded patch of green
amid the brighter colors of the marsh.
But from the marsh edge it obtains both
dignity and beauty. We look up to it as
to a green dome set apart for worship or
delight. The sense of breadth, the re
sponse of the level earth to the brooding
sky, the suggestion of the ocean’s charm
of wide expanse, joined to the Interplay
of earth's delightful greens and reds and
browns, keep us tn love with this middle
ground of the inconstant wave and the
slow-growing ts ed, of the salt tide's ebb
and flow and the ripening sun's appeal
for harvest.
The song of the incoming water, push
ing and whirling under the bridge, urged
from behind by the great uplift of the
sea, tells of the ocean's strength, as the
quiet growth of rush and reed and the
salt grasses tells of the earth’s stability.
Looking from some gentle hill, knee deep
among the purple asters, over thickets of
bay and scarlet rose hips, we see across
this wonderful level space the river—deep
blue now that the wind has left It to It
self—and far away the wider blue of the
distant ocean above a white Up of the
snowy dunes. Tiien we forget the rivalry
and think of the marshes us the wedding
educe of sea and shore.
