Chicaoo. January 15.-Dispatches pub-
.. V,„i m th,. East describe with much de-
^ the plans and preparations of the So-
Sisu. of Chicago to put some of their tbeo-
riesinto practice From these it appears
5?. formidable number of men have
Cn armed with bombs and grenades and
S await a suitable opportunity to declare
criminate warfare upon every-
thiac in defiance of law and
5S5. »“‘ l ,he “p 14 * 1 ’ p«’P ert y- ®? J
SJple interested in prosecuting and de-
ina these conditions; that the mililia
"d^ice the Socialists OJ»ct to annihiU-
Z without any trouble, and the buildings
helonuing to the obnoxious people are to
swept out of existence by means of dyna-
Bite, and that everything is ready fora
crand catastrophe. These dispatchea have
occasioned considerable comment here.
‘The vast majority of the people of Chi
cuso are law-abiding and I havo no fear a*
,11." said Mayor Harrison, “of not being
nbie to deal with any uprising the Socialists
or Nihilists may attempt. I do nofbelieve
there is anv ground for apprehension. The
Socialists "have some pronounced ideas
‘which manv think cranky, but as a class
they arc as much interested in tho welfare
of " Chicago as anv other
men of equal intelligence. They are not
coinc to organize to blow up anything, or
K, „t anybody. Tho Nihilists are blath
erskites and like to talk of doing terrible
tilings. They say incendiary things and
Newspapers try to mnko a sensation out of
fhem. That is just what they like, but
they will not dare carry out their threats.
They are not organized in any such strength
as to cause apprehension.”
Prominent officers cf militia, interviewed
on the subject, while lamenting the poor
support given them by the State, are confi
dent that the companies here could eaaily
p U t down nny Socialistic uprising. General
Fitzsimmons said: “There is always a guard
at the armories, and we aliall not bo taken
by surprise. I think another investiga
tion shfmld bo made at once
of what the Socialists are about, and there
need he no fear that we shall be in igno
rance of what is going on.”
"What would be the result of a conflict
between militia armed with rifles and a lot
ol Communists armed with bombs?” was
asked of a well known malitis man.
"Oh, they couldn't do anything nnlcss
there were a vast host of them. Why you
sec in order to use those bombs
they hnv.i got to be witbin
at least fifty yards of the troops. Now, tho
First Regiment of militia are well armed
with Springfield breech-loading rifles.
These ntles will throw n ball that will pen
etrate an inch plank at the distance of a
mile; and at the distance of fifty
yards they would penetrate fifteen
niches of pine planks spiked together.
The young men have never been under fire
but they have courage, and if properly led,
would undoubtedly do good work. In the
daytime, the whole command could be oa-
sembled in an hour and a half. In case
they were wanted at night, they would be
summoned by tbe nearest commanding
officer, each one of whom has the addreoaea
of tho men who live near him."

A BATCH OF HANGINGB.
Horrible Scene at the Execution of an Ohio
Murderer.
Sr. Louis, January 15.—Charles Wilson
waa hanged io-uay at 7:15 o'clock for the
murder of ,a river steamer mate some time
ago. He retired last night at a very late
hour and slept quietly and sonndlv until
1:40 o'clock. He awoke cool and calm,
protesting that he waa innocent of murder!
and stating that he comiu: ■.'.«! the deed in
self-defense. He remained calm to the
last, still protesting bis innocence.
After the trap was sprung the body for a
moment remained motionless, and there
was enacted a scene of horror which chilled
the blood of all who witnessed it. Two doc
tors, one on .ithcr side, were each holding
his wrist, when the contortions of the hang
ing figure shook them aside, and before they
could regain their hold upon tho mao,
whose actions showed fall possession of
consciousness of all that was going on, he
made a frantic straggle to releaso himself.
His right hand shot np and clutched tho
rope and held it firmly. It
seemed as if he must die
by slow degrees from strangulation, but
one of the doctors succeeded in disengag
ing his hand, nnd in a short time the body
bung a lifeless corpse.
St. Louih, January 15.—A special from
Belleville to tbe I’ost-Dispatch says: Nosh
Herriman, tbe wife murderer, was banged
to day. Previous to his execution he ad
mitted having killed hia wife, and confessed
to tbe mnrder of a woman peddler in East
St. Louia six years sgo. The name of tho
woman he would not reveal. He walked
with a firm slop to tbe gallows, and after
praying for a short time, his arms nnd legs
were pinioned and tile black cap placed
over lua head. This ordeal be stood well,
but while the noose waa being adjusted be
fainted, audit required three men to hold
him oa tbe trap. Tbe trap was sprung nud
Merriinnn died in fifteen minutes. Ho
seemed to suffer most terrible agonies.
New Oiu.hash, January 16.—A special to
the Picayune from Luke Providenco says
William George, colored, was executed
witbin the enclosure of the pariah jail there
to-day for the murder of Peggy Johnson on
August Kith, 1*82. Tho hanging took place
in the presence of legal witnessea. George
acknowledged ho feigned insanity during
the trial, i and at tbe last moment cried
out, “I did kill Peggy Johnson.” As the
noose waa being adjusted be laughed aloud.
Tbe drop fell at 11:30, and in twelve min
utes tho coroner pronounced him dead.
From oome cause his throat was gashed, and
blood was scattered oil around making a
horrible sight.
Oai.vestov, January 15.—A special to the
Newa from Beaumont says Win. Madison,
colored, aged twenty-four, wss hanged here
at 11:30 a. m. to-dny for the murder of Al
bert Smith, also colored, in April, 1880,
Before ascending the scaffold, Madison
spoke for about twenty minutes, hut mode
no confession of hia crime. He sang sev
eral original hymns and declared he wa-
rcady to “pnt on wings and fly to heaven.”
His neck waa broken by the fall. The canae
of the crime was jealousy.
8t. Louis, January 15.—A special from
Beaumont, Tex., to the Post-Dispatch states
that Wm. Madison, colored was hanged
there to-day for the murder of Albert
Smith, also colored last summer. Tbe
oause of the crime was jealousy.
STUDENTS OF CRIME.
Why Policemen Try to Exclude Some Boys
from the Great Thoroughfares.
“It may look cruel.” said a Broadway
policeman who had just sent a flock of
Htreet boys flying down n side strict; “to
act liko an ogre with little fellows like that
and to drive them away from the tbor.
onghfare where there is so much to see
ami enjoy. But it's necessary to do it for
nublie safety. Yon seethe youngsters of
New York ure the most dangerous set of
pickpockets in the whole community. It's
sail to think that children of tender years
should lake to such a business. But it's a
fact. And what is more, they don’t drop
into it of their own accord; that is not gen
erally. Yon will find wagon thieves and
youngsters who will tap tills and steal
fruit and all that in nearly any part
of tho city But your boy pick
pocket bus to be an expert and he needs
training. Now it is known that on the
east and west aides there are a lot of tutors
who prepare these lads for their criminal
career. They are all 'fences,' regular
Farina in their way, bnt they are such
slick, shady coves that there is no getting
on to them. It is only onco and awhile
that yon catch a 'fence,' and then it’s one
of the hardest things in tho world to get
evidence to convict him.
“I dare say they are more numerous in
river districts than anywhere else. There it
ia easy for a boy to steal old iron, cotton
and ropes. And there are a lot of rascals—
mainly junkmen—who liny tho loot and en
courage tbe boys to keep on stealing. Bnt
your regular Fagin is generally in tbe
heart of the city. Not long ago there was
one discovered in Livingston or Stanton
street, I forget which. He had no place of
business, only a floor in a tenement house.
Ho was a grey old villain, and
none o( tho neighbors dropped to his
say. Even when they saw the young
sters coming and going they thought the
man was attached to some charity mission
oraometbing of that kind. Well, the troth
waa he kept those boys 'working' tho parks
and public places, and they turned in no
endot jewelry and the like to him. Of
course, when they got a purse they were
cunning enough to keep it to themselves.
But any other kind of valuable waa grist for
his mill When the police got into his
place they fonnd quite an assortment of
trinkets, and heaven knows how mnch he
had disposed of, for he wss sharp enongh
to keep very little of the 'stuff' on band.
“It was not many yean since a regular
school waa discovered in the neighborhood
of Hester street and the Bowery. There
was a man there, an ex-convict, nnd an
adept in every kind of villainy. He mode
it his bnsim-as to prepare boys nnd girls not
only for picking pockets ana the like, bnt
for bnrgUry and the higher orders of crime.
He turned out apt pupils, too, anil
made a very good thing of it till
some detectives dropped to his racket, llut
his scholars did him credit. Most of them
made money enongh to go into businesss,
and the rest made enough to get them into
trouble and have them sent to Sing Sing.
It's sad to think of. But we cannot tell
how many of these rascals are atlll doing
nuch work suddenly. And so we have to
look ont for 'Artful Dodgers' in all shapes
and keep seemingly inoffensive youngsters
off the thoroughfares.”

Jacksonville, Fla., January 15.—A gen-

the latest reports fronr East and Booth Flor
ida indicate that the damage done waa not
so great as at firet thought. In some por
tions of Sonth Florida even the fruit on the
trees was not spoiled, and it is no longer
apprehended that any trees, save very small
ones, were killed. The weather here to-day

Wamhhutox, January to.— Mu. Kite bayard,
eldest daughter of the Secretary of State, died eud*
denly about a o’cloch thla afternoon. The recep
tion at the White House was suspended upon the
receipt of the newa of her death. Hue Bayard died
at her home just a. .he was starting to the White
Uonee to attend hits* Clef ehuid'e reception.
ills. Haj.nl had accepted an Invitation to aaaigt
Mia. Cleveland at her recepUon tala afternoon, and
that lady and her guests. Miss Utley and tti.z
Love, who were also to assist at the reception, were
watting Mize Uayard's arrival, when they received
tbe news cf her death. It waa bust about five min
utes to 3 o'clock, and the recepUon wee to begin ln
one hour. The Marine Band waa stationed
In the main vestibule, and the leader waa
conversing with Col. J. M. Wilson with regard to
an appropriate time a. a signal of the opening of
tbe reception. Many caller, had already arrived
and wene waiting for the door, of the room to ho
thrown open. The President waa engaged in con
versation with a visitor in tbe library, and Mtae
Cleveland and her gueata were chatting with Colonel
Lament in the parlor on the second door prior to de*
.rending to tbe blue room, where tbe reception was
to]take place. Theabeenceof Mlea llajard was coin*
mruled ou as singular, aa aha was usually very
prompt In surh matters snd was momentarily ex*
ported So arrive. While they were wondering at
her delay, a inemeuger notified Colonel Lament
that Harry Bayard the private secretary to Secru-
Lry Bayard, waa in hia office snd had "something
important" to communicate to tbe President.
Colonel Lenionl excused himself snd went
to see Mr. Haysrd. That gentleman Informed him
that Miss Bayard waa dead, snd Uist secretary
Bayard bad Instructed him to comuiiinhwte the
iscl to the Presiileut. Colonel Lenioul ml o'ico in
formed the President, who was very much shocked
at the unexpected intelligence, and Uie two gentle,
men Joined the tallies and announced tbe sudden
death of their friend. Orders were at once issued
to close tho house, the hand wss dismissed, and the
people In salting notified that the -reception bad
bceu postponed. Ushers were stationed at the
main uoor and carriage entrance to luform all ratt
ers that the house wss closed for tho day. Tbe
news spread quickly through tho city, and univer
sal regret waa expressed at the sad occurrence.
The President, npon the receipt of tbe meMego
from Secretary Bayard announcing the death of hi.
daughter, recalled the lnrltatlon to a dinner which
he had Intended to give Monday eveulng In honor
of Mr. and Mrs. Krasina Corning.
The Immediate cause of Mbs Bayard's death
waa disease of the heart. She had been troubled
with weakness of that organ and had been treated
by the : amity physician at intervals for several
years. At a reception at her fathers house last
night, it was remarked that Mia Bayard was unusu
ally bright and taxed herself to the utmost. It Is
presumed that over exertion may havo precipita
ted the fatal attack. The young lady re
tired shout to o'clock last night, cxprvsslug a wish
to be left undisturbed tUl noon. Between 1 and 1
o'clock this afternoon a younger alster endeavored
to awaken her, and, struck by tbe peculiar expree-
•ion of the face, called for assistance. As Soon as
the family recovered from the consternation Into
which It had been thrown, physicians were sum-
luoued aud powerful restoratives. Including elecrlc-
lfy, were appliid, but In vain. Tbe physicians ex
pressed the opinion that Mtaa Bayard bad keen
dealt for several hours when the attempt
wee made to awaken her. Her
Interment will take piece probably on Tuesday
next at Wilmington, ltel., where Sucre (ary llayard's
parent, arc interred. The newa of MU. Bayard's
sudden death caused a profound sensation
throughout the city, and for a time, in tbe absence
of any definite details, annuiber of wild rumors
circulated. The facta, however, ae stated above,
are from an unquestionable source.
Lightships Replaced—'The Dolphin Matter.
Wakiiixoton, January 15.—The light
ships at Vineyard sound, Frying-pan Shoals
and Pollock Kip, which were cast adrilt
during tho recent storm have all been re-
{ ilai'od. Secretary Whitney made the fol-
owing statement to-day to a representa
tive ot the Associated Press in regard to
despatch boat Dolphin. Tbe talk with
referenoe to the Dolphin doubtless arises
from the propositinii made by the contrac
tor, a good while ago, that we should make
an effort to arbitrate, and in that way ar
rive at some common ground with regnrd
to the facts we are now considering it, and
I am disposed to do it if it can be done. It
will be seen by looking at my report that the
action'ot the contractor infixing np the boat
after she was snbmitted to the department
lor acceptance it removed a great many of
the grounds of critii ism that were made by
the examining board. I summarized the
matter in my report and showed substan
tially what points were unsettled. It we
can agree npon a board of technical men
that both sides would have confidence in
to make another examination of the Dol
phin to determine the money valne of tbe
difference between us, it ia precisely what
a private individual would do in a similar
cose. We have not reached any conclusion
yet, but wo may very soon. In this con
nection, it is proper to say that moat of the
statements that have been circulated with
regard to the' recent trial trip of the vessel
were erroneous. She did not encounter
any very unusual weather. The reports
about her being in a gale of wind blowing
seventy milea on hour are not true. No snch
gale occurred during the trip nor
titil sho make fifteen knots as has been
published? Her time between landmarks
when she was running (or speed wsa about
fourteen knots, snd her log showed less
than that. I have not asked (or uny re
ports in regard to the trial, bnt I find there
is no substantial disagreement between her
commanding officer and the technical ex
perts on board on important |K>ints, aa I
understand them. They do not agree abont
everything in conversation, but there are
no very important disagreements so fur as
know.'
Wahbi!ioto!«, January 17.—The past
week having been devoted by the Senate
largely to speech-making and executive
bnsineus, ti e calendar remains almost ex
actly aa it waa at the beginning of tho week
with respect to measures of general legisla
tion. The judicial salary bill is the un
audited business. The Dakota bill, the
bankruptcy bill and the electoral count bill,
are to be broagbt forward for debate and
action as soon as possible, and an under
standing will probably be reached on
Monday or Tuesday by tho Senators
respectively in charge of these
measures as to the order
in which they shall be taken np. Sen
ator Harrison's resolution looking to and in
quiring into certain statements of the
Cnmuitsaiuner of Pensions regarding the
official acts of hia predecessor, nnd Senator
Voorhees's substitute for it, are still pend
ing. Senator Enstis has given notice of his
intention to deliver a speech Thursday up
on bis resolution to pay in silver bonds that
have been called for redemption on the
first of February. This resolution, with
Mr. Beck's substitute for it, are still in the
finance committee with no probability of
receiving early action.
In the House to-morrow, after tho intro
duction of bills, committees will be called
(or motions to pans measures—one for
each committee—under a suspension of
the rules. A two-thirds vote is requisite in
every instance. Tbe business of the House
for the rest of the week will depend upon
the action of its committees, many of
which are to meet on Tuesday and a few
to-morrow. Among the more important
measures likely to be discussed in commit
tees and reported to the House this week
are the bill known as the McPherson bill
introduced in tho last Congress, authoriz-
ing national banka to Increase their circu
lating note* to the full amount of their
security in bonds, the bill anthorizing
the Comptroller of the Currency to sanction
changes of name and increase capital flock
by national banka, tha Oklahoma bills,
Mr. Hatch's bill to create a department of
agriculture, and Mr. Watson's bill
to increase pensions to widows, Mr.
Bontelle's resolution of inquiry rela
tive to the Norfolk navy yard will be
farther considered by the committee on
naval affairs to-morrow or Tuesday. The au
thor of the molution baa ittle doubt that
it will be reported to the House Wednes
day, and as it is a privileged resolution,
immediate action can be demanded. If the
tone of the discussion of tho meusuro in
committee can be taken as an indication of
the diactusion to follow in the House, that
body will find thrust upon it a spirited
political debate.
INTER-STATE COMMERCE.
An Exhaustive Report on the Hulfisct To
Be Nubmittnl.
Washixotov, January 17.—Senator Cnl-
lom's select committee on inter-Ktate rail
road transportation will probably report to
the Senate to-morrow or Tuesday on the
original inter-state commerce bill, and at
the same time submit on exhaustive report
in its support. The committee, which spent
a good part of the summer in its investiga
tions, has been bolding daily sessions since
tbe assembling of Congress. In addition to
two or three volumes of oral testimony
which the committee has taken in its pur
suit of information upon the subject, an
appendix containing a number of Interest
ing papers from leading authorities has
been printed for the uso of the committee,
nud will be made public with tho report.
John D. Kennnn, chairman of tho New
York Railroad Commission, contributes a
statement in which be advoeares the crea
tion of a national ooiumission, whose find
ings npon all qnditlons of fact, should be
accepted in oil courts as iirimn facie true.
The board of Railroad Commissioners of
Kansus contributes to this volume a paper
which expresses tbe opiuion that •> national
commission should be established,
vested with certain supervisory powers over
the subject of inter-Stute commerce. These
powers should bo confined to tho function
of regulation and not the management of
the business of inter-State commerce. The
board also discusses the snbject of strikes,
and sdggeats that a national commission
might be entrnsted with power to arbitrate
and settio disputes arising between com
panies and their employes. Mr. Charles
E. Perkins, president of the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy Railway Company, dis
cusses the basis of railroad rates and
the payment' of rebates. Ho justifies
the pooling system and discrimination be
cause of distance and quantity. He de
clares that railroad owners and managers
have no more actual power to oontrol rates
than merchants and manufacturers have to
control their charges. He concludes thst,
considering the development of tho conntry
and low rates which everywhere prevail,
the wisdom of any legislation on the sub
ject is doubtful.
A TAME BUTTERFLY.
A Curious ret of m Little Mias on South
Fifth Street.
A butterfly in captivity is perhaps not an
nnnsnal thing to see, but a butterfly in oap-
tivity that has lived in a glees jar for tbree
months and through the cold weather of
winter is something that very few have had
tbe opportunity of seeing, aa a butterfly's
existence ia generally considered to lost a
few weeks at the furthest.
Miss Bessie Seraon, the daughter of Wil
liam Scmon, of the Virginia Tobacco Store,
on Niuth street above Cbeatnut, ia the
owner of a specimen that she caught in tho
yard in the roar of Mr. Semon'a residence,
1326 South Fifth street, early in October.
When it was canght it waa almost dead
with '-old. .She took it into a warm room
anil, placed it in a gloss jar with a perfora
ted ltd, and the luaectnot only revived,
bnt grew lively and seemed to take a liking
to its nsw home. It ia one of the large
brown species, with wings folly an inch
and a half long.
While in its glass cage it manifests none
ot the desire to escape naually shown by
insects in captivity, bnt moves tronnd its
glass house with wings at rest, and it spends
its time principally in dozing and feeding-
When it was caught it was slender in body
snd hungry looking, but on its foed of so
ger and celery it has grown fst and round
and almost too heavy to fly. Miss Bessie
has made something ot a pet of her butter
fly, and every day ahe takes it ont of the
ar to give it oxerdse.
A reporter waa present recently when
“Brownie” waa given an airing. When the
lid waa removed from the jar tbe butterfly
flew out and lit on its owner's arm, spread
its wings and took a good stretch. It then
walked np her arm to her shoulder, took a
look around and then flew aronnd the
room a couple of times, and returning lit
on its mistress' head. It conhl be easily
seen that tbe insect recognized its owner,
for, thongh several times while it
was on its flight she changed
her position the butterfly each
time flew to her. Another, evidence that it
knew her was fonnd in the fact that when,
ever any ono else went near the butterfly it
closed its wings together and remained
perfectly quiet, whereas Miss Bessie need
simply pnt her finger down beside it and
the pretty insect wonld get up on it and
then walk np her arm to her shoulder of
bend. Miaa Benton is natnraliy venr proud
of her uniqno little pet, snd will make
every effort to prolong Its eziatence through
the winter.
HORSE AGAINST DOG.
A fierce Contest Between Two Enraged
Animals, Resulting In tho Death
of Roth.
A Somerville, N. J., special soya: Yester
day afternoon a fierce bull dogandaviclona
young mare, belonging to George Rnnvon,
a funnel, of Stanley, N. J., engaged in a
enriona fight. The dog and horsa were
stable companions, bnt the latter had a
strong dislike for the former. Tbe mare
broke her halter yesterday, and seized the
dog in her teeth. The dog retaliated by
biting tbe horse's nose. The two now
thoroughly . infuriated brutes then
fought desperately. The dog wonld
spring at its foe, only to be sent flying clean
across the barn. The wild neighs anu kick
ing and barks attracted a number of people
to the scene, hot none dare interfere with
tbe frenzied combatants. The dog seo red
a firm grip on the mare’s neck, and waa
tossed and knocked agninst the aides of the
building in the attempts made by the bone
to dislodge him. The mare finally lowered
her head, and, placing her fore foot on the
dog's body, literally tore it off. In one of
its mad rnabea the dog waa seized by the
ui—ii and thrown nearly to the top of the
barn, bnt it returned to the fight immedi
ately.
At tast the dog sank it* fangs into the
foreleg of the mare, and in attempting to
reach the dog's head tbe horse fell directly
on its foe and creaked its life out. Tha
victorious animal gave a shrill neigh, snd
turning, kicked the body of the dog on til
it wss crashed into a shapeless mass.
When Mr. Runyon returned he entered
the stable and found the mare tottering
alxmt the place, weak from the loss of
blood. Her legs and neck wera horribly
lacerated, and tha sinews laid bare, while
her nose was almost gone. Aa tbe animal
could not lira, it was shot.
The mare was a valuable one, bnt so high
tempered that no one bnt ner owner cotild
approach her safely. The dog waa prized
very highly on account of its courage and
usefulness aa a watch dog.

Cabinet—Uuhappy Peru,
Loxdov, Januuy 16.—The Time* thli morning
recognlMM that the Irish ijueetlon must receive tho
immediate attention of the new Parliament In a
ipiritcd leading article it urges the necepsity of the
Conservative party at once facing tbe issue. It
says the Conservatives cannot shirt or postpone de
cisive action. If they attempt to remain in office
without making a vigorous effort to grapple with
the Irish difficulty U will result in their promptand
unequivocal condemnation. Universal acorn will
be their portion If they*give their opponents a
chance to overthrow them without staking (heir ex
istence on a hold defense of tbe union. Such a
courae would be worse than a blunder-it would be
a crime. The government should uot hesitate to
challenge tfce verdict of the House of Commons on
the questlou of home rule. It rsnuot bo doubted
that they would obtain an Immense majority in
favor of maintaining the integrity of tho empire.
London, January 16.—Nothing will be settled re
garding the government of Irclaud until after Par
liament is formally opened l»y the Queen next week
Tho Earl of Carnaven will return to Ireland and re
sume the duties of the vlreroyship tenqtorarlly.

The Policy of the NewL'nhlnet.
Paris, January 16.—M. DeFrnrcinet, prime minis
ter snd minister of foreign affstrs, to-day made a
declaration in the Chamber of Deputies or tho pol
icy the new cabinet would follow, tin said (hat its
colonial policy would bo less adventurous than that
of its recent predecessors. This statement was re
ceived with cheers by the Chsmber. U. DaFreycl-
net also said: “It Is necessary to restore good order
in tbe administration, to hold the clurgy to the
strict execution of their duties, to restore tho finan
cial equilibrium, to stop expeditions to distant
countries, to vote no fresh loans, to adopt no meas
ures cresting new tixes.” Tho Tonquin protector
ate, he said, would be organised on a simple and
economical basis. In conclusion he ap{»ealed to all
the friends of the republic fur uuity and co-opera
tion in tho effort* of the cabinet to govern the
country by the policy he announced.
M. DeFreycencrt said the government hoped to
equalize the budget by rigid ei^noraies In various
departments. Ilcadjustiuent of-taxation he said
wonld not affect the consumption of food. War
and marine offices would be required to make the
greatest sacrifices, short of reducing the efficiency
of the country’s defences. Colonies that hail been
recently acquired wonld ba retained and it waa
hoped thst they would eventually he able to par
their own expenses, when the direction of their af
fairs would be retransferred to the colonial of
fice. The message waa received with cheers ln both
houses.
A New Solution of the Question.
Dublin, January 16.—The Irish Times (Loyalist
organ) offers a new solution to the Irish quostlon
to-day. It says that the outcome of the present
situation wlU be that tbe Lord Lieutenancy will be
entirely done away with, and the functions of that
office will become a part of tho duties of the Presi
dent of the Local Government Board. This latter
officer will be assisted by the Chief Secretary for
Ireland, who will reside at Whitehall, and nave
charge of the administration of Irish affairs. The
immediate executive duties will be performed by
an officer stationed at Dublin. The advocates of
this scheme find a reason for believing it possible,
in the fact that the leaders of both parties have
