Losdox, June IL Copyright. It
li
now settled that Balfour will announce on
Monday the actual date of dissolution, and
on the following Wednesday he will in
augurate the Tory campaign by a great
ipecch at the Conservative demonstration
to he held in London on the evening of that
day. He will be answered by Mr. Glad
stone in a speech which the Grand Old Man
has arranged to deliver in Chester previous
to the start on his Midlothian tour, and
thereafter for two or three weeks the big
guns on both sides will pound away at each
other daily.
The Grand Old Man is as restive and
eazer for the fray as a mettled war horse.
Scarcely a day now passes upon which he
does not fire off a little speech or a letter re
plying to some inquirer or encouraging a
Liberal candidate selected to lead the at
tack upon some Tory stronghold. By way
of relaxation after the political fight he has
promised to preside over one of the sections
of the Oriental Congress to be held in
London early in September, an deliver
an address on "Orchaic Greece and the
East," and in the following month he will
lecture at Oxford, on "The History of the
Universities."
A Hoto to Squelch Bettlns.
A determined e3ort is to be made in the
next Parliament to put down betting. Edi
tor Stead, who as all the world knows or
should know, exudes morality and benevo
lence, has, with the assistance of several
muddle-headed nonentities, drafted a bill
which, should it ever become a law, will
weep into one penal net the small boy who
plays pitch and toss in lhe street and the
noble lord who gives or takes the odds at
Epsom or New Market, the lad who sells
newspapers containing ordinary sporting
news, the journalist who edits them and the
printer who prints them. Even Her
Majestv's Postmaster General, who, by his
employe, accepts and transmits letters and
telegrams relating to betting, may find him
self in the criminal dock and in danger of
being fined and imorisoned.
f But Editor Stead and his friends are des
perately in earnest, and they have -been
promised the support of a nnniber of Radi
cal and labor members in the House of
Commons. These mad moralists' monstrous
measures will iu all probability attain to the
dignity ot being debated and rejected.
AVhen one considers the constant efforts
that are made or sonzht to be made by leg-
islatue enactment and municipal regnla-J
uon to jruruamze mis merry Jngi&nu me
wonder is that people don't resort to sinful
ways out of sheer discust and revulsion of
feeling, as in the time of King Charles IL
Late Victories for Alleged Morality.
The latest victories for the so-called cause
of morality are the prohibition by the Lon
don County Council of the playing of dance
music on Sundays by the bands in the pub
lic parks, and the refusal by the corpora
tion of the city ot London to open Guild
Hall Art Gallery on the Sabbath.
Something phenomenal in record-breaking
was accomplished by the House of
Commons on Thursday night, when sitting
in Committee of Supply for a period of
about eight hours. It voted the enormous
sum ot 18,622,0ia In other .words, it
sanctioned the expenditure of public money
at the rate of 2,327,752 per hour, or 38,
795 17s 4d per minute, or 6i6 lis 11 Kd per
second. Altogether, no fewer than 85 votes
were agreed to, the largest being 3,796,
213 for education in England and "Wales,
and the smallest 9, to complete the amount
required lor the bankruptcy department of
the Board of Trade.
i-ady Somerset's latest Slogan.
Lady Henry Somerset, invigorated by her
American trip, has thrown herselt into the
electoral struggle with unbounded enthusi
asm. As a fighting leader of the temper
ance party, she has imparted novelty to
British political campaigning by urging
anti-liquor men and women to held plenty
of meetings on Sundays, on the grounds that
they are engaged in a religious crusade, and
that the unregenerate masses can best be
reached on the Sabbath. Staid people,
however, regard this method ot work as
American, and are not certain 'that it does
not savor ot atheism. Her ladyship will
have to moderate her enthusiasm if she
does not wish to set the temperance people
by the ears, and so play into the hands of
the enemy. The liquor party is working
with great energy on the Tory side, and
has undertaken to spend 100,000 during
the next few weeks to help deleat Liberal
candidates identified with temperance prin
ciples. Lord Randolph Churchill exhibits no
sign of interest in the coming general elec
tion. He will seek re-election tor Padding
ton, but has no intention of taking the
stump on behalf of the Tory party. Only
two items of news relating to this erratic
genius and disappointed politician have ap
peared in the newspapers this week. The
first is to the effect that he lost a lot of
money at the Lewes races, Thursday, by
backing the wrong horse in the chief race,
and the second records that he has given to
the Natural History Museum a very fine
stuffed lion and lioness vikich he did not
shoot in Africa.

London, June IL An international
congress of miners has been held in
London, this week. Its proceedings were
extremely dull, and if they have demon
strated anything it is that international co
operative effort for the benefit of the work
ers is as much a dream as ever it
was. The speeches were largely aca
demic, and as lar as one can judge
by reported proceedings, the only practical
proposal was made by the French Labor
Deputy, Monsieur Thivrier, "the man in
the blouBe," who wanted to give all Govern
ments three months' notice that unless they
started the industrial millennium within that
period there would be a universal strike.
Foreign delegates cheered this proposal
wildly, but Englishmen pumped cold water
upon it, and nothing came of it Last even
ing the delegates n ere dined by an obscure
democratic club, which has its headquarters
In a street off the Strand.
The toast of "Democracy" was ostenta
tiously substituted for that of the Queen's
health, much to the delight and admiration
of the foreigners, and the evening was
pleasantly spent in alternate denunciations
of the capitalists and exhortations to unity.
A JTEW PICTURE
Several clergymen were present, but no
grace was said and no sermon preached.
A real countess, Schaack by
name, and several other ladles also
sat at the festive board, and there was quite
a crowd of men who manage to get a com
fortable living out of labor withont work
ing. One of these men proposed "Prosperity
to Labor," and the toast was acknowledged
by, of all persons in the world, a war cor
respondent, whose salary would be doubled
to-morrow it the nations of Europe were to
fly at each other's throats in fratricidal
strife.
A DISTINCT FIASCO
That Slay Be of Benrfit to an American
Torpedo Trio Drennsn Adair Proves a
DliaMroni Failure Considerable Money
Thrown Away.
tnT CABLE TO TUX DISFATCn.l
London, June IL A few years ago a
Radical member of Parliament attacked the
Government for proposing to buy from an
Australian named Brennan a torpedo which
could be steered from the shore. The Radi
cals were promptly denounced is unpatri
otic, ignorant persons, and a bargain was
concluded by which Brennan received 25,
000 cash down, an appointment in the public
service with a salary of 1,500 a year, and
a valuable contingent advantage which he
has since enjoyed.
The torpedo at that time was admittedly
barely out of the experimental stare, and
since then it has been "perfected" at this
generous country's exnense. Its state of
perfection was demonstrated last Tuesday,
in the presence of General, the Duke of
Connanght, and a crowd of notable naval
and military experts. Two Brennan tor
pedoes were fired in the solent at a supposi
titious enemy's ironclad. Both went wrong.
The first stopped midway in its course, and
could not be made to go any further, and
the second, early in its journey, suddenly
threw its tail into the air and ignominiously
buried itselt in the mud. The demonstra
tion was abruptly stopped, and experts are
now endeavoring to discover what was
wrong.
This news will interest certain American
citizens who are interested in the Edison
Sims torpedo, said to be an immense im
provement on Brennan's machine. A few
months ago an Edison-Sims torpedo was
tried at Portsmouth, with some success, but
warned by experience, the admiralty did
not jump at the first oner made, despite
dark hints or threats that if the Edison-Sims
weapon should be sold to the French
Government, which was hankering for
it, Britannia in a lew years would
cease to rule the waves. The British Gov
ernment caused to be intimated that it was
no longer a buyer of imcomplete inventions,
but that a good price would be paid at any
time lor a first-rate working lite destroyer.
Brennan's fiasco has justified this atti
tude, and has amply vindicated the action
taken by the much-abused parliamentary
Radicals. The Edison-Sims syndicate will
have to experiment with its own money,
and probably for a long time, also for an
economical government is about to come
in.
BBITISH, BTr KOI EHGLIBH.
A Scotch Association That Want
the
Distinction Drawn Fine.
PBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, June IL English writers and
speakers have been solemnly taken to task
this week by the Scottish Home Rule Asso
ciation tor their loose habit of using the
terms England and English, Instead of
Britain and British, when referring to the
British empire and its officers and institu
tions. Americans as well as Englishmen
should take note, for instance, that Scot
land is not included in the term England;
that Queen Victoria is a British not an
English sovereign, and that the Government
of this United' Kingdom is the British,
not the English Government. That the
matter is regarded as serious by the Scottish
Home Bule Association is evident from the
fact that at its last meeting it passed a reso
lution setting forth that the practice com
plained of "is a deliberate attempt to de
lraud our country and countrymen of their
treaty rights and privileges, and to deerade
Scotchmen lrom their proper historical po
sition and make their country a mere
province of England."
Needless to say, had the resolution on
such lines been passed by the Irish National
League it would have been called rank
treason, but coming from the Scottish so
ciety it is described by English commenta
tors an a "noble expression of just pride in
their nationality."
Tom Ochiltree on Temperance.

London, June 11. Colonel Thomas P.
Ochiltree, having just recovered from a
two-months' attack of gout, is devoting
himself to the cause of temperance. On
next Friday evening he will speak at a
meeting held in London under the auspices
ot the Church of England Temperance So
ciety and presided over by Bishop Barry,
when Dr. Keeley, of bichloride oi gold
lame, will tell about his cure. Hon. Luther
Laflin Mills, of Chicago, is also announced
among the speakers on this occasion.

London, June IL The Earl of Hunting
don was married to-day at St George's,
Hanover Square, to Maud "Wilson, daugh
ter of Sir Samuel Wilson, M. P., who
made millions by squatting in Australia.
The bridegroom is 21 years old, and his
title is one of the most ancient in the
peerage, he himself being the fourteenth
earl, but the ancestral estates yield scarcely
any income. The Wilson family is plebeian,
of course, but the bride is extremely rich.

That Johnstown Flood Fund Was All Fnt
Where It Belonged.
TBT CABLE TO THE OToPATCH.1
London, June IL Stuart W. Miller,
purser of the City of Paris, of the Inman
ilne, probably has more friends among trav
eling Americans than any other officer on
the Atlantic Ocean. Not only is he
known for his invariable cour
tesy and kindness to the thousands
who have crossed on the crack liner, but he
was the hero of the hour when his vessel
was drifting and sinking at the time of her
disaster, more than two years ago, and his
sangfroid and cheeriness buoyed up the
spirits of all the passengers on board during
those fonr days of terror and suspense. The
New York World of June 2 publishes an al
leged interview with James S. Thompson,
of Pittsburg, in which he is made to say
that a few days) after the Johnstown dis
aster the sum of 5416 was collected on the
City of Paris for the food sufferers, and
turned over to Miller; that the subscribers
have never heard what became ot the
money, and that John O'Day, President of
the Standard Oil Company, was one of the
subscribers, and was about to investigate
Miller's connection with the matter.
Miller was on the way to Liverpool when
the JFbrtd't article appeared. A Dispatch
reporter showed it to him after the City of
Paris arrived. Miller was very indignant.
He told the reporter that he had sent the
money to the New York Serdld fund and at
once' cabled the Eera'd about it He got
this response: "July 5, 1889, 78, 13 shill
ings and 11 pence." "It is a contemptible
thing to make such a terrible accusation in
my absence, and without consulting me," he
said, and everybody who knows Miller will
agree with him.
BBITISH LOSSES IU HAITI
Consul Tweedy's DUcoaractng Report on
the State of Trade There.
BY CABLE TO TIIE DISPATCH.
London, June IL English traders who
are fond of attributing their dwindling for
eign business to the apathy of the Foreign
Office and its agents abroad, will not derive
very much satisfaction from Consul
Tweedy's report on the trade and finance
of Haiti, just issued here. While express
ing regret that two or three British houses
would suffer by the recent commercial
depression, one to the extent of be
tween 60,000 and 70,000, Consul Tweedy
leaves no doubt that such suffering was, and
is, due to incompetence or recklessness. A
representative of a certain British firm
showed the Consul a list of its debtors in
Haiti, in which the latter was astonished to
find "names of persons possessing no com
mercial standing, and even persons known
to be of bad faith."
The Consul is moved to give British mer
chants a lecture upon elementary principles
of international commerce, the mere necessity
for whieh affords strong presumptive proof
of the ignorance of those to whom it is ad
dressed. Consul Tweedy, by the way, proud
ly records that the "salaries of Government
funtionnries and the Interest on the publio
debt have been regularly paid."
A SIX H0NTH8' LEASE 07 LIFE

Bomb, June IL There was a noisy sitting
of the Chamber of Deputies to-day. During
speech by Signor Brazlllai, a member of
the Extreme Left, the President of
the Chamber was obliged to sus
pend the sitting, this action being taken
amid great excitement On the resumption
of the session, Signor Fortis, of the Ex
treme Left, who is a warm supporter of ex
Premier Crispi, made an excited speech.
He urged that the military strength of the
country must not be reduced, even if in
creased taxation was necessary to accom
plish this end. Italy, be declared, should
stnctiy aanere to tue imDuna.
Premier Giolitti followed Signor Fortis

When the debate had been concluded, the
Chamber took a secret ballot and carried the
motion for a six months' credit by a major

whole bill relative to the provisional credit
as presented by the Government, the vote
standing 256 to 72.

BUT ONE IRISH ISSUE
Divides the Factions, and That's Na
tional Unity, According to
THE OPINION OF JOHN DILLON.
Ee Describes the Compromise Which Bed
mond Refused to Accept.
ESTIMATE OP THE MINORHTS POWEE
London, June 11. John Dillon was
Interviewed by an Associated Press repre
sentative in Dnblin to-day in legard to the
present political situation in Ireland and
his proposals for peace between the two
factions. Mr. Dillon said he found it al
most impossible to believe that Mr. Red
mond had gone to America to advocate
peaoe, in the face of the attitude Mr. Red
mond and his friends had all along adopted.
Is it true," he was asked, "that you
have always favored conciliation?"
"It is quite true; and, further, myself and
friends have gone so far in that direction
that we have exposed ourselves to very
hostile criticism from an influential section
of our friends who are opposed to any at
tempt to effect a compromise."
"Have your advances to the Redmond
party met with any success?"
"Not the slightest I fear that no course
is left but to let the people give a verdict
between the Redmond party's platform and
onr own at the polls."
"Can you briefly state the issue?"
The Issue Is Natlonnl Cutty.
"Certainly. We favor national unity. A
single party is the only true security of the
national cause. The Redmond party say,
'no; there must be two parties.'"
"Is there no difference between the polit
ical principles of the two parties?"
"None that I am able to discover; and
Mr. Redmond, in speaking at Cork last
Sundav, stated as much."
In replv to further questions Mr. Dillon
declared "that the Irish people would not
consent to be represented by men pledged
against the unity of the Nationalist ranks.
Mr. Dillon said Mr. Harrington, speaking
for many in behalf of the Parnellites, had
declared that they were prepared for an
armistice, but not for union with the men
who had taken tbe course the anti-Parnell-ites
had taken.
"What was the nature of your Bradford
proposals?"
"I concluded, after a careful inquiry, that
a small number of constituencies will, if
contested by rival Nationalists, return
Redmondites. I proposed that a Board of
Conciliation be lormed to inquire carefully
by a convass as to the chances in doubtful
constituencies, and to mutually avoid con
tests wherever it is shown that an un
doubted majority exists for either side."
"What result did you anticipate?"
What the Flan Concedes to Bcdraond.
"I believe that such a plan would produce
a result much the same as will be brought
about after many bitter contests, with this
difference that it would probably have
given Mr. Bedmond's friends two or three
more seats than they can win in an open
fight I am convinced that such friendly
arbitration would have resulted in au early
reunion of the Nationalist forces."
"What was the nature of Mr. Harring
ton's final offer Friday?"
"Mr. Harrington proposes that each party
retain the seats they now hold."
"Why can't the offer be accepted?"
"For the all-sufficient reason that there is
no power on earth to induce tbe constitu
encies to agree to it There are now 29
Parnellites. By far the greater number of
these 29 constituencies condemn by over
whelming majorities the policy of their
representatives, and could Toy no conceiva
ble means be induced to re-elect them. They
would most ccrtaiuly revolt if we accepted
such a proposal. The country wants a
united party. Very few constituencies
would accept members advocating two
parties."
"Is there any force in Mr. Harrington's
threat that 11" Nationalist seats in Ulster
would be given to the Tories bv Parnell
votes if there is a double contest?"
Four Seats In Parnellites' Power.
"It is an absurd exaggeration. I believe
that there are only four seats in Ireland
which Parnellite votes could give to tbe
Tories. I do not believe that the voters, if
asked to do so by the leaders, would commit
such treason to the national cause."
"How many seats are likely to pass to the
Tories if the efforts looking toward concilia
tion fail?"
"As well as I can calculate, only three
seats would be lost"
In reference to Mr. Dillon's statement it
was learned iu the Parnellite headquarters
last night that the Liberal leaders had
informally circulated to both sections of
the Irish party the warning that unless the
McCartbylte and Parnellite contests were
abandoned the home rule cause would be
hopelessly ruined. It was forcibly pointed
out that a repetition of the scenes witnessed
during the bye-elections lately held in Cork,
Kilkenny and Waterford would ruin the
chances of the Liberals in the English con
stituencies. LAB0B BI0IB QUIETISO DOWff.

EGGLESTON GOES FREE.
Fattlson Agrees to Let the Granite State
Provident Man Out.
Haebisbtjeo, June 11. This afternoon
Governor Pattison approved the recom
mendation of the Board of Pardons for the
pardon of Bev. Clark M. Eggleston, who
was convicted at Pittsburg and sent to the
penitentiary for two years on a charge of
conspiracy to defraud. Eggleston is a
Methodist preacher, but at the time of his
conviction was a general agent of the
Granite State Provident Association, a New
Hampshire building and loan association,
with agencies throughout the country.
It appears that the sub-agents at Pitts
burg were guilty of some irregularities, and
Eggleston having been sent on to investi
gate them was arrested. He has served all
bnt eight months of bis sentence. Secretary
Harrity refused to join in the recommenda
tion. CHAirrLArcAwxixGS, latest out, at Uamaux

PALACI0 PENNED UP.
CRESPO, TIIE REBEL GE3EBAE,
BESIEGES BIS CAPITAL.
The Latest Battle, Fou;ht Almost TJnde
the Walls or Caracas, Lost by the Gov
ernment Troops The City Filled TTith
Soldiers and Barricades.
Panama, June 3. Advices from Vene
zuela by late steamers state that the revo
lution continues to make steady progress.
It is said that Crespo does not desire to
carry the war into the capital, but rather
cut it off to exhaust Dictator Palacio, so
that eventually he will be compelled to
evacuate peacefully.
It Is a very significant fact that the priests
are in sympathy with the revolution, and
some have actually joined it, Fathers Lopea
and Zuleto caving commands. The latter
recently fought and won a battle. Palacio
threatened to imprison the arch
bishop if he does not restrain the
priests from politics. This threat
by a Catholic dictator in a country almost
wholly Catholic has only had the effect of
exasperating the people, and those who had
hitherto remained neutral have now openly
announced that their sympathies are with
tbe revolution.
Late advices as to the actual movements
of the maneuvering hostile forces state that
two weeks ago the Crespoists effected the
capture of another of Palacio's chief gener
als, Salome, who, together with his whole
force, was carried in triumph into Puerto
Tucuyo. On the other hand, about the same
time, the Government forces captured Gen
eral Gill, one of Mora's lieutenants. An
other and more serious blow to the Cres
Jioistsl was the capture of a German vessel
aded with arms and munitions of war for
their use.
Notwithstanding these two victories tile
dictator's forces are in a thouroughly de
moralized condition. The Revolutionists
are forcing them to the wall. Another
battle was fought between the coast and
Caracas yesterday. It resulted in a sweep
ing victory tor the rebeK Palacio's troops
were routed all along the line, and a'ttr
stubborn resistance were put to flight They
left their dead and wounded on the battle
field and a quantity of arm3 and ammuni
tion. General Crespo commanded the
Revolutionists. He is now marching at the
head of his army toward Caracas
The panic in the capital cannot be exag
gerated. It is besieged on the south by
revolutionists, who are only awaiting the
arrival of Crespo'smain body to attack Cara
cas. Palacio is a virtual prisoner in his
Coia Amarilla or Yellow House. Govern
ment troops fill the city. Barricades have
been erected in all the principal thorough
fares. Terror reigns among the inhabit-
I ants of tbe city. At La U a ay na a similar
state of affairs exists.
