wl SALISBURYWEARY. The Speech Prom the Throne to Intimate to Parlia ment That There's KO BUSINESS ON HAND. FiRhtins: Tories Eager for a Pro gramme and a Bolder Front. WILLIM FOR ONE MAN ONE YOTE, Provided the Measure Is So Framed as to Benefit Iheir Party. IEISH SUSPICIOUS OF THEIR ALLIES IcorrmGHT. lisc bt s. t. associated rEss.l LoiOMMr, July 29. When the members of the Cabinet separated yesterday it was practically decided that the Queen's speech from the throne at the opening of the new Parliament would be limited to a blank in timation that Parliament had not met for the transaction of business. The militant section of the Conservative party, who want to combat the opposition al 'ontrance, feel thoroughly exasperated at the abandonment of what they believe to be a s'rong posi tion both for oflense and defense. Lord Salisbury is to visit the Queen on Mondav previous to the final Cabinet Coun cil for the consideration of the exact form of the speech from the throne. Powerful in fluences will in the interval be brought to bear on the Queen and Cabinet Ministers alike to try to induce Lord Salisbury to adopt a bolder policy. A proposal which is finding large accept ance at the Carlton Club is that the Gov ernment open Parliament by announcing the introduction of a franchise reform bill, including such a redistribution of seats as will correct the proper abnormal system of representation. Onn.Man.OncVotn 2fot a Bucb-ar. The Conservatives, haing no reason to fear a "one-man-one-vote" measure, if ac companied by redistribution on the princi ple of equal electoral districts, or taxation and representation going together, are now fiercely alive to the fact that th e Salisbury Government has weakly lost a chance to carrv a redistribution bill favorable to the jiarty. The "one-man-one-vote" measure, when parsed, will affect 200,000 rotes, throwing them chiefly on the Liberal side. A redistribution of seats, based upon recog nized Liberal principles, would increase the number of English members by about 140, mostly Conservatives, and the Scotch by 20, and would reduce the Irish representation by 20 members. Many Unionist members are now press ing Lord Salisbury and other Cabinet mem bers to defy the opposition and make franchise reform the single item of the Queen's speech and the whole business of the session, appealing on defeat, but Lord Salisbury has not the pluck and stamina required for this course. The Premier Not In Fightlnc Trim. Irtimate friends of the Prime Minister confess that he is weary of office and wants a rest. His liver and kidneys are out of order, and anyone seeing his pasty face, bent shoulders and languorous walk would pronounce him deficient in energy the sort of man certain to shirk a bold policy and unfit to grapple with a momentous crisis in the country's history. The appeals now being made to him and his colleagues to challenge the Liberals on franchise reform have some Ministerial support, but the majority of the members of the Cabinet appear to rely upon an early break-up of the Gladstone Government through a rupture of the international forces on which it must rest It is just barely possible that Lord Salisbury will yet be persuaded to throw down the glove be fore the opposition. If he does so, it will inspire the Unionists with rampant courage and enthusiasm which they have never yet shown. "With only a formal speech and no pro gramme, the Ministers will avoid the usual official dinners on the night before the House opens. Up to the present the only dinner invitations which hare been issued from a Conservative quarter are those of the Duke of Devonshire to the Unionist leaders. Itnrcnnrt TVI11 r.e the Liberal Host. Sir "William Vernon Harcourt is to dine Mr. Gladstone, the Earl of Itoseberry and others prominent in the Liberal party. Hitherto the practice has been at these Jinners to have the speech from the throne communicated to the opposition, as well as to the Government dinner guests; but with nothing to communicate, the present oc casion is divested of all importance. The absence of any declaration of policy in the speech from the throne will not deter the Liberals from proposing a vote of "no confidence." They will be rather strengthened in denouncing the Government tor shirking the avowal of a programme. Conservative whips who were consulted on the question of procedure vesterdav stated that it is perfectly competent for Par liament to proceed to the transaction of business without a speech from the throne. It is a fact that the House of Commons can dispense with the speech if it so chooses. In order to assert the historic right to do without the speech from the throne, some bill is always read the first time in each House before the speech is considered. Still, the unbroken tradition is that Parlia ment requires some form of a speech. The Irish Suspicions at Their Allies. The Irish party are not entirely reassured, in spite of Liberal declartions, that home rule mil be expedited; and until Mr. Glad stone adds the assurance of an immediate dissolution ot Parliament if the House of Lords rejects the bilha suspicion will haunt them that they will be used to carry the Newcastle programme and then be thrown aside. Both McCarthyites and Parnellites are possessed of an idea that if Mr. Glad stone, after passing the "one-man-one-vote" and other measures of the Newcastle pro gramme, went to the country and got a Ilritish working majority, home rule would become smoke. Sow, having him on the hi", they will thiow him unless he makes home rule "his first and final aim. Tee McCarthyites, at a plenary meeting "Wednesday in the committee room of the House ot Commons, will reaffirm this policy. Their finances arc improving. Still, 2G of their number will require monetary assistance to enable them to stick dav hv day to their duties in Parliament Tiiepavmcnt of members will be early proposed." A bill dealing with the matter can pass without the assent of the House of Lords, by putting the vote of money on the estimates, which the Lords are powerless to touch. Shipping Trade In Ead Way. Londox, July 29. Eight Hon. Anthony H. Mundella, in speaking at a meeting of the British Steamship Trust, alluded to the present depression in the trade. He said that the tonnage idle in San Francisco in sailing ships alone, amounted to 130,000 tons, and that on the Tyne 260 steamships were laid up. a Nihilist opportunitf Taken Advantage or. Is the Present Cholera Scare In Russia Plague Biota Charged to a Rrrolutionary Plot Inflamma tory Ideas Sown Broadcast. St. Petersburg, July 29. Blots arising out of the cholera panic and directed against the medical authorities have occurred in Tashkent!. Troops have rigorously sup pressed the riots, killing and wounding seven persons. A ship has been anchored in the Volga near Nijui-Novgorod, for the reception of cases ot suspicious illness. The vessel is guarded by military, as it is feared the excited populace may attack the ship. The crews of vessels lying nearby refuse to serve, while hundreds of laborers have become panic stricken and are fleeing from the district. The Sanitary Inspector tele graphs that the inhabitants of Nijnl Nov gorod itself are quiet and do not oppose the measures taken against cholera. Confidential reports say that the Russian Government is convinced that the recept so called cholera riots were due to Nihilists. They are evidence of increased activity on the part of the Nihilists, who have seized the outbreak of cholera as a pretext to ex cite the Empire. The poor are incited, not onlv against the medical authorities, but also against the well-to-do classes. Threat ening letters have been scattered broadcast, and citizens in many towns are afraid to ask for police protection. Eevolutionary agents assure the poorer classes that they will be killed in the cholera hospitals, while the rich will be spared. An Iron Embezzler In Prussia. Viexka, July 29.

Johnston Island Suraly to Us Selzedyby a British Cruiser Importance of the Place bj a I-actor Despite the Little Likelihood or IVar. SAX FEAXCISCO, July 29. SperiaZ. The departure from Honolulu of the British cruiser Champion to seize Johnston Island has occasioned interest in San Francisco, where the Americans who claim its ownership belong. That it is an American possession which the Champion is about to take possession of, there can be no doubt. A "Washington dispatch to-day says that the State Department has gathered clear proof of American title to the island, which the British now wish to grab and use as a relay station for their proposed cable from Honolulu to New Zealand. Captain Roberts, of this city, who is one of the present owners, said to-day that there was no question of the Amer ican title to the island. Fully $50,000 had been expended on the island. He and his partner, Mayers, had sent a sloop and a bark down there, but of late had not done anything, as the guano was not first class. "The island," said Captain Eoberts. "lies in the rainy belt, and the richer portion of the guano deposit is washed out to tea.' One cargo was taken from there to New York, but the charterer of the ship lost $30,000. The island would be valuable to the United States for many purposes, and would be just as important to England. It lies just south of the direct line route to China, and is on the proposed route of the English cable from New Zealand to Hono lulu. In case of war the Hawaiian Islands and the Samoan Islands would be neutral, but Johnston Island is an important position, and could be used as a station by the Government in possession. There is excellent anchorage there, al though about 810,000 worth of dynamite was needed to blow tip some of the coral in order to widen the mouth of the harbor. The island is about six feet above water on the right side of the harbor, and vessels can lie right alongside without any wharf. In troublesome times the island would be worth a great deal to this country. No other island as suitable for a station could be purchased f or f 500, 000. There can be no doubt about the island being the property of Americans. Mayers and myself have the original papers of Parker and his deed to us. "We also have an affidavit sworn to bv him before Cheever. then clerk of the United States District Court, in which be stated that he discovered Johnston Island and never transferred his interest to any corporation. ANABCHIST ORGANS IN TROUBLE. Their Incendiary Utterances Slay Get Their Owners Behind the Ttirg. New Yore, July 29. Special Assist ant District Attorney Stapler, who is act ing District Attorney in Mr. Nicoll's ab sence, said to-day that the District Attor ney's office may take some notice of violent articles in Die Frexhett and Der Anarvhut regarding the attempted assassination of Mr. JTrick. The articles are being trans lated and he will ascertain whether they are ot a nature to bring the writers and publishers within the criminal law. As yet lie has not found any particular law that would be apDlicable. If he finds that their publioation was an offense against the peo ple of this State he will lay the facts before the grand jury, which meets next Mondav. The Autonomists were all in the back room of the saloon, Zum Groben Michel, to-night Emma Goldman sat in the tront room of the saloon for an hour, with the evident purpose of attracting the attention of passersbr. All the while she talked in a loud voice about her principles and the police. About 10 o'clock the doors leading into the back room were opened. The Autonomists stood grouped around an old piano. All held mugs of beer. Tiie Goldman woman- walked to the center of the group, dramatically poked her one hand above her head, while she pressed the left side of her waist with the other, and exclaimed: "Noble Berkman!" All the assembled Autonomists then gulped down their beer. 0 W0ED JKOM SIEEAT0B. Adjntant General Greenland Awaits a Ite port Before Acttuir on lams' Case. Haimiisbubg, July 29.

McKinley Speaks for republicans, Warner for Democrats, and ST. JOHN FOR COLD WATER FOLK. Protection Championed bj Its Brilliant Exponent, .Against DEMOCRACI BOTH OPES AXD COVERT Madison, "Wis., July 29. Ex-Governor St John, of Kansas; Governor McKinley, of Ohio, and W. C Warner, ot the New York Tariff Beform Club, delivered ad dre sses at the Monona Lake Assembly to day. Henry "Watterson, who was announced as one ot the speakers, was taken ill at Chicago and could not be present Mr. St John addressed hundreds of Prohibitionists in the morning. He said: In 1SG3, when under Democratic and Re publican rule, our Government went Into nartnersliiu with the Honor truffle, the. amount of intoxicating liquors consumed equaled but 2.59 gallons per capita of tho population. From that time until 1691,under the fosteilns, care of these two old parties the consumption continued to grow until it equals 15.57 gallons for each man, woman and child in the United States. The ques tion I propound to you Domocrats and Re publicans f s this- How long will It take to get rid of this home ana soul-destroying evil at this rate? I take tho position that tho whole tariff system Is wrong In principle, because It levies Its burdens on what ie consume, in stead or what we possess, thus malting tho day laborer contrinute as much to support the Government ns we impose upon a mil lionaire. Any system that does that is rob bery. The Fnrmer and HI Wealth. Fifteen or 20 nion control to-day all tho means we have for roaohins tho markets of the world, and our inorohant marine has been practlcnlly driven from the high seas, carryiniriii 1830 1,10000 tons less than wo carried In 1SG9, witli less than half tho popu lation wo have to-day. While the farmers compose ovor 50 per cent of tho population, thev owned of the wealth or the country in 1850 fivo-olgnilis; In 1860, less than ono-lmlf: in 1370, a llttlo over one-third: in 1880. a little over one-fourth; in 1890, less than one fifth. And still the farmer Is consoled w itli tho hlossed ussuranco that he is "motected." Under this system capital takes $1C net Income from a ton of steel, while the gross receipts of labor is but fl 57, and in the faco of these facts tho laborers wages is reduced 25 percent, with a demand that his contract terminate in January instead of July. And because he lefuses to submit to this reduc tion and sign a contract that would enable Capital to turn himself, wifo nntl children into the mid-winter storm, capital confronts him with an army of hired Plnkertons, and when he defends his Interests he is called a murderer. In this country, where we have a govern ment to protect every interest, it should be made treason to oiganize a piivnte army to intimidate even the humblest citizen in our land. Loud applause. "When Governor McKinley arose to speak this afternoon he faced an audience of 15,000 people. He said he was not present to rep resent the Republican party or to discuss the tariff in a partisan wav. but to Dresent iu"plain language the great business ques tions of the day. He knew of no subject so dull, he said, as taxation. Taxation a Necessity of Government. If we had the power to do away with it al together, it would be the policy of tho Re publicans and Democrats alike; hut so long as we have a Government we must have rev enue. We can secure that revenue in only one way, and that is by the Government in voking the constitutional power of taxation upon its own people and the taxation of other people seeking a market in tho United States. It reqnires In this country neaily $100,000, 000 everv vear to Day the expenses of the Federal government, more than $1,000,000 evory 21 hour". This is what makes the sub ject under discussion or importance, and time is what the citizens or this and other States are to determine, what system of taxation shall raise that tl.000,000 required every diy to prevent the wheels of thir Gov ernment from being clogsed. You can do it by direct taxation, or you can do it by tariff taxation. Tou can do it by taxinj: jourself, your land, your property, your goods your investments, j our labor, your pioperty, lealor personal, and you can do It by taxing the product or every people of tho world seeking a market in the United States. How will yon do it? The Democratic leaders or to-day seem to look to direct taxation, or the sjstcm or Henrv George, to put the single tax on lands to raise the nearly $400,000,000 secured annu ally for public purposes. Tho trouble with tho ft-co trader is lio never paiticulanzes, for w hen he does he is lost. Other speakers, he said, held that con sumptions must be taxed; also the wealth of the country, the lands and the property. If that was literally interpreted, it meant direct taxation. Do you want that? Groat Progress Under Rtpub lean Kale. The speaker dwelt on the disadvantage oi w:e uirect izu. bjsiuuj, uuu quuieu cjenor son and Madison as earnest opponents of it is in time of peace. In clos ing, he said the United States had 30 vears of protection, and the country has improved its financial position so that it is unrivaled among nations, and 200,000,000 of the public debt has been paid. Thirty years ago 95 per cent of the hardware of the country was of English make, but now 95 per cent is American. The Democratic revenue tariff is always paid by the consumer, and the foreigner fixes the price to the American consumer and charges to it their tax. The tariff or free trade has nothing to do with strikes and lockouts. Jt has nothing to do with differences between employer and employe. If the Democrats win in the fall, it will set the country back 25 years. Mr. "Warner said the Democracy of the past concerns us not to-day. The aims of the Democracy of the future are like beau tiful ideals and hopes. He said the Chicago platform contained many planks of great importance that in those days, when agriculture was driven to the wall and the great sea of labor was tossing restlessly to and fro, when monopoly was riding ruthlessly over the rights of the common people, the ques tion was being asked where lies the road to reform? Could the Nation be taxed into prosperity? Mr. "Warner held that any man, whether able to travel abroad or not, should be en titled to bring into the country 5500 worth of dutiable clothing.

The Experts Declare, After Seeing Three Shots Fired, That It Is the Best "Weapon In the "World Processes of Manufac ture Described. Biedsboeo, Pa., July 29. The test of the powder chamber of the new five-inch Brown segmental wire gun now under con struction for the United States Gorernment by the Pennsylvania Diamond Drill and Manufacturing Company, at Birdsboro, Pa., were continued before a large number of American and foreign experts. The results obtained were eminently satisfactory, and dispel all doubts as to the final success of this new system of gun construction. Three shots were fired. For the first 1i Sounds of Dupont's sphero-hexagonal pow er were used and a main pressure bf 40,176 pounds to the square inch obtained. The second was fired with a charge of three pounds of powder, and the pressure gauges registered a main powder pressure of 55,325 pounds to the square inch. The powder charge of the third shot was 3 pounds, and the powder pressure pro duced exceeded the measurement of the gauges, which only run up to 66,000 pounds; but it must have been at least in the neigti boi hood of 68,000 pounds to the square inch, ane the powder pressure against the breech plugs was 1,300,000 pounds. The test cylinder" consists of twelve seg ments of very high-class American steel, having a tensile strength of 165,000 pounds per square inch and an elastic limit of 105, 000 pounds per square inoh, with an elonga tion limit of 11 per cent in two inches. The dimensions of the cylinder were: Length, 16 inches; diameter of bore, 5 inches; diameter of segmental tube, including lining, 11 inches, and diameter of wire jacket, 15.31 inches. The segments were compressed 0.019 of an inch by 32 layers" of wire wound round them with a tension of 130,000 pounds. Before the firing the test cylinder was placed in a steel casing representing the trunnion jacket of the 5-inch gun. It held a fixed breech plug at the bottom, filling one end of the cylinder, while a second similar plug closed the other end." Two pressure gauges were inserted into the in side of the lower plug and a small vent hole gave access to the powder charge, which was exploded by an electric primer. I When the third shot was fired an enor mous smoke and fire spout leaped with a ghastly hissing sound 70 feet into the air, concealing the test cylinder and the build ings in its neighborhood for several seconds from the view of the bystanders. For a fetr moments a feeling of astonish ment seemed to have invaded the minds ot those preseut, and several of those who were not experts believed that nothing could be left of the cylinder; but when the smoke had cleared" away every body rushed toward it, to see whether the heavy powder charge had done its destruc ivo work. It had not The cylinder had not been moved a quarter of an inch from its place.and showed no alterations whatever after the plug had been unscrewed and the inside of the powder chamber examined. After the test the party of experts wit nessed the winding ot the new gun, which is now in the lathe covered with 23 layers of wire. There are only ten more layer's to be put on, and then the gun will be put into the jacket The process of winding is highly interesting, and the ma chinery used was specially invented for the purpose. Like the gun, it is the invention of John Hamilton Brown, who has during his long career earned so many laurels in the field of mechanical en gineering. The wire has a tensile strength of 250,000 pounds to the square inch and an elastic limit of 200 pounds persquaie inch. It is wound round the core of the gun under a tension of 130,000 pounds to the square inch. .SAVES FROM THE SEA. Two Exhausted Bathers Rescued by the Atlantic City life Guard. Atlantic City, July 29. Jesse G. Hammer, ex-cashier of the Union National Bank of this city, while in the, surf this morning, was swept into a gulley at the foot of Maryland nvenue, and was rescued In an unconscious condition by Life Guard Davis. "When he diappeared beneath the break ers the great crowd in bathing at the time sent up a shout that attracted a mob of 1,000 people. Two of the surf boats, ono manned by Davis and the other by Jones, were just out outside the curling breakers and both heard the cry at the same time. Then ensued a race to the rescue that was watched with intense interest Both men bent to their oars and sent their boats scud ding toward the struggling man with a swiftness that sent the spray flying from the prows of their crafts. As the two boats drew near to the spot Hammer disappeared beneath the surf. Davis, who saw the man floating beneath the surface, quickly caught him bv the robe and dragged him into the boat, the act re ceiving loud applause. Hammer was un conscious and it took half an hour's vigor ous work to bring him back to a normal condition. ' Shortly afterward Mrs. Cook, of Phila delphia, stopping at a cottage on North Virginia avenue, was taken out of the water in an exhausted condition, near the same place by the same guard.

EHGLNEEES SEHX TO JAIL For Blowing Steam n histles In New Orleans During the Night. New Obleans, July 29. The City Council a few days ago passed an ordinance prohibiting the blowing of any steam whistles, whether by cars, boats or fac tories, within the city limits be tween 7 P. M. and 7 A. M. To-day a number ot railroad engineers were ar rested and brought before the Becorder for violating the law. The railroads made a strong fight against the law, declaring it was impossible for them to operate their lines at night without blowing whistles, and that it was dangerous to do so, as it might otherwise cause collisions or cause people on the track to be run over, as there was no other way of giving them warning. In one of the cases on trial it was shown that the whistle was blown becanse a South ern Pacific freight train was crossing the track of the Louisville and Nashville road. The Court, however, replied the law was constitutional, and sent the engineers to jail for violating it KNOCKED OUT ONCE MORE.

Itnsslan Troops Kenr the Trontler Mny Spread Cholera Beyond the Bordrr. Vienna, July 29. A letter from Count von Taafe, Austrian Priniier and Minister of the Interior, addressed to the Gov ernor of Galica, shows that the Government apprehended a steady outbreak of cholera in Galicia. Count von Taafe enjoins the Governor to take the strictest precautionary measures, but admits that an outbreak of cholera can hardly be averted, owing to the large masses of Russian troops near the frontier. If those troops become affected, he says, the disease will be quickly introduced into Hungary and Austria, and will thence spread throughout Central Europe. Habit ual smuggling is practiced by the inhabitants of frontier districts, n ho are apathetic in regard to cholera and will not take the slightest precautions.

Many Womlerfal Cures Reported From a New York Sbrlne The lame SJade to Walk, the- Blind to See Some Curious Cases Told Abont. NEW-yoBK. July 29. Faithful thousands thronged again to-day to the little Church of Saint Jean Baptiste, in East Seventy-sixth street, where reposes the sacred fragment of the forearm of Saint Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary. All sorts and conditions of men, women ana cnuurea arc umuug uc visitors to the shrine of the venerated relic which is said to have accomplished such miraculous cures. All who come seem to be imbued with a feeling of the deepest reverence, and even when the crowd is at its height and the lit tle church is packed to its utmost capacity there Is an utter absence of disorder of any kind, and scarce a whisper disturbs the solemn quiet of the scene, and even the clinking of a crutch or cane against the bare floors of the aisles can be distinctly heard. "I have seen nothing in Europe or in this country to compare with the daily scenes at Saint Jean Baptiste," said Father Papillion yesterday. Such evidences of piety among young and old alike he had never encountered, he said. "While I have seen crowds equally as large at the hrine of the other relio of Saint Anne at the Church of Saint Anne de Braupre, in Montreal," the priest continued, "there was always so much bustle and confusion that it detracted, to my mind, from the solemnity of the scene." Here all seem to be absorbed in their de votions from the time they enter the church until they leave, he said, and this applied as much to those who were in perfect bodily health as to those who came in search of re lief. Many fresh evidences of the power of the relic in curing disease were given to dar, the father said, though the names of the fortunate ones were withheld at their re quest. "The most remarkable case that has come under my observation," said Father Papil lion, "was that of an elderly lady who was driven to the church during ,lhe morning in her own carriage." She was accompanied by a friend who is ADVERTISEMENTS. so Bedford Cords, C 1-1 c. Merchants and jobbers will please take notice that we don't propose to sell these Cords in wholesale lots.

J)26-TT3 the organist of a prominent Catholic Church in East Eighty-second street, the priest saidj and as she was not able to leave the carriage her companion went into the church and explained the matter to Canon Petit, who was then officiating. The lady was a member of the Episcopal Church, the organist said, and had not been able to pnt either foot to the ground for 20 years. Being a woman of great wealth, she bad had the advantage of the skill of the best physicians in this country and in Europebut without receiving the slightest benefit. "I have induced her to come here." the oreanist went on, "and I hope it can be ar ranged so that she may have the relic ap plied, as I am confident that it will effect s cure." Canon Petit was so impressed that he car ried the relic out to the carriage and touched the little casket containing the sacred fragment to the lifeless limbs. "The sick woman bowed her head and prayed silently for a few moments," said Father Papillion, "and then, to the surprise and delight of all who saw her, she rose to her feet, and stepping to the sidewalk, en teredthe church and walked firmly down the aisle to the altar, where she again knelt in prayer." The lady was so overcome by joy at her recovery, the father said, that she declared her intention of donating a large sum of money to the church for the purchase of a jeweled chalice and golden paten. She then re-entered her carriage without aid and was driven home. Father Papillion continued, "where we afterward learned she was able to walk upstairs to her room with out the slightest difficulty."
