0'FERRAL'S OPINION.
Virginia's Governor Thinks That tbe
Election Results Have Prevented
Disaster in the United States.
Washington, Nov. 9. Got. O'Fer
rail, of Virginia, In a published Intei
view expresses himself strongly on the
result of the election which he con
siders has saved the country from dis
aster, "I am a Democrat" he said,
"and have always been and shall al
ways be in principle, but I want none
of the Mrs. Lease-Altgeld-Tllltnan-Bryan
combination in mine. I am sorry
that the good people of the south rut
loose from those who had sent the most
capital Into her midst for the develop
ment of her industries and tied herself
to the little 'silver burros' of the west.
When did anv of those western sliver
states ever send a dollar into the south
that would aid In the development of
its industries? On the contrary, has
not nearly every dollar come from the
north? But they cut loose from the
north, spit In the teeth of New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and other
states which have spent money in de
veloping her Infant Industries.
I have stood by the Democratic par
ty for thirty-four years and worked
hard for its success. I had to cut loose
from It 'when 1 refused to vote for
Horace Qreley, a Republican, and this
time I could not vote for Bryan, a
Populist."
. It Is said that Governor O'Ferrall is
an aspirant for senatorial honors, being
desirous of succeeding John W. Dan
iel, in 1897. The next state senate will
be In favor of the re-election of Sena
tor Daniel on a free silver platform,
but the House of delegates is as yet
Undetermined.
Consul General Lee Is also among
those who are said to aspire to Senator
Daniels seat, also as a sound money
Democrat.

LORD SALISBURY'S
BANQUET SPEECH
He Declares That the Venezuelan Con
troversy Is at an End.
WARM FRIENDSHIP FOR AMERICANS
Argument Againtl Great Britain
Tnking Isolated Action Against the
Porte Are RepeatedHe Denies
That the Powers Are Acting on
Hellish Principles on the Turkish
Question.
London. Nov. 9. There was a sump
tuous display tonight at the banquet
marking the Installation into office of
Mr. George Faudel Phillips, the new
lord muyor of London. The bumiuetlng
hall of the Guild hull was crowded,
many of those present being of world
wide celebrity. Interest centered In the
speech made by Lord Salisbury, it being
the custom in recent years for the
prime minister at the Lord Mayors
banquet to muke a statement regard
ing the foreign and domestic policies of
the government.
Ambassador Thomas F. Bayard re
plied to the toast "the foreign repre
sentatives."' Mr. Bayard, in treating of the com
munity of Interests of the nations of the
world, all being affected by the doings
of others, referred to the presidential
election in the I'nlted States, saying;
"1 am very sure that it was In no
narrow party sense, not merely national
sense, that the heart of the people
which It Is my highest honor to repre
sent, was echoed in a verdict that could
not be misunderstood, standing as it
does for national honor, and the con
tinuity of national obligations, making
the world safer in the trust r,i each
part, speaking as emphatically as the
human mind and human heart ever
spoke In favor of that honesty which
is an essential condition of civilisation
everywhere." (Loud cheers.)
When Lord Salisbury arose to reply
to the toast "our ministers," he re
ceived an ovation.
After thanking the lord mayor and
the others present for the warmth
of the welcome extended to him, he
said:
REGARDING VENEZUELA.
I thank the ambassador of the United
States for his presence here and for join
ing a great historic meeting. By the
few words he has uttered has has raised
his own plane of observation so high
above the mere lvv;l of party that,
though contrary to practice to remark
upon the internal politics of other states,
I may be permitted, without Impertinence,
to congratulate him upon the splendid
pronouncement the great people he repre
sents have made In behalf of the princi
ples which lie at ths base of all human so
ciety, (Cheers). It Is rather pathos to
have to turn therefrom to the rather un
important controversy his country aul
ours have had In meant months. I onlv
do so for the purposa of expressing the
belief that it Is at an end. (Cheers). You
are aware that in the discussion had with
the United States on behalf of their
friends In Venezuela our question nas not
been whether there should be arbitration,
but whether arbitration should have un
restricted application, and we have al
ways claimed that those who apart from
historic right had the right which attaches
to established settlements should be ex
cluded from arbitration. Our difficulty for
months has been to detlns the settled dis
tricts and the solution has, 1 think, come
from the government of the United States
that we should treat our colonial empire
us we treat Individuals; that the same
laps of time which protects the latter
in civic life from having their title ques
tioned should similarly protect an Eng
lish colony, but beyond that, when a lapse
could not b claimed, there should be an
examination of title and all the equity
demanded In regard thereto should be
granted.
1 do not believe I am using unduly san
guine words when 1 declare my belief
liiat this has brought the controversy to
un end. (Loud cheers). It is u matter of
no small satisfaction to ths government
that at a time when anxious social ques
tions, which are fur more important than
political questions, ale troubling the
I'nlted States, and therefore troubling
the world, we should remove any sem
tilunce of polltlcul difference thai mlgnt
hinder common action In defence of the
common heritage of society.
We have had an anxious year at the for
eign otfl,e, but we have tioateil into a pe
riod of comparative culm, and 1 do nut in
tend to trouljle you with matters thut
have passed uway.
THK TURKISH QUESTION.
Lord Sullsbury then proceeded to the
Turkish question. He repeated argu
ments against Great Brituln tukiug iso
lated action against the Porte, und em
phasized the fact thut the military oc
cupation of Turkey would be uecessury
if such uction were taken. Great Brit
uln. he declared, could not occupy th
country unless she established conscrip
tion. He pictured the risk of an Euro
pean wur, und then suid that the six
great powers must act in concert. Any
one of these powers was able to Veto
the others. He denied that the powers
were acting on sellish principles. They
had firm ground for different' of opin
ion. The motives Influencing the Brit
ish government must influence all con
scientious rulers. Her majesty's gov
ernment, he added, had been urged by
th Right Hon. John Morley and others
to ubundon its policy of the past and
renounce certain lands. In which case
the foreign powers would accept Great
Britain's policy. He did not believe In
anything of the sort. At all events he
did not see any cause to abandon the
policy hitherto pursued or to relinquish
an acre of ground now occupied by the
British. (Cheers.)
Continuing. Lord Salisbury declared
that the concert of Europe seemed to
be In a more favorable condition to ex
tirpate the terrible disease in the east
thun ever before. He eulogized the
speeceh made on Tuesday last by M.
Uunotaux, the French foreign minis
ter in the Chamber of Deputies. He did
not, he said, expect that France would
try to baffle the action of the European
concert, while, he added, the triple
alliance had always been in sympathy
with the British doctrine regarding
the Eastern question. Lord Salisbury
repudiated the idea that there was
necessarily permanent antagonism
lietween Great Britain and Russia.
(Cheers.) Such an Idea was a super
stition of antiquated diplomacy. He
hud, he said, good ground for believing
that Russia had the name views. He
did not desire to imply th'at there was
any power with which Great Britain
would specially act. He only protested
against the Idea that any power was
especially Great Britain's opponent.
He would not say there would not be
difficulty in concurring In any scheme
io exercise force if the other powers
agreed, but he did nut know whether
the use of force was meditated against
Turkey. He referred to the latest
promises of reform made by the Sul
tan. and said that the future alone
could determine how far even such
humble promises as these would be
realized. He hooed the powers would
be able to convince Turkey that she
was drlftlnz in the current towards
an abyss, and that they would succeed
in 'tvertl'"T her before, she arrived at

The Daily Graphic holds that the so
lution of the vexatious question re
flects the highest credit upon all con
cerned. It fully justifies the Interven
tion of the United States.
The Chronicle will say thut it finds
Lord Salisbury's statement rather
puzzling. It doubts whether settled col
onists exist in any great numbers hut
supposes it Is all right.
The Dully Telegraph says the terms
of the settlement leave the dignity und
interest of Great Britain and the
United States unimpaired.
M'KINLEY'S CONDITION.
The President-Elect Has Hecovered
from the Fatigues of Campaign.
Canton, O., Nov. 9. President- elect
McKlnley bus so far recovered from
the fatigue incident upon the labors of
the campaign Just closed that he has
again resumed the methodical manner
of living that has characterized his
every day life for many years past. He
arose at the usual hour this morning,
disposed of his early mall, which was
not of an uncommonly large quantity,
and then in company with Clark Ton
ner, of Canton Indulged in a walk
about the resident portion of the city.
The air was coed and bracing and the
pair walked at a brisk gait for nearly
an hour. After calling at his moth
er's resideuce the president-elect re
turned to his home. He announced
that he was feeling excellent and at
once plunged Into his favorite occu
pation of perusing a pile of newspapers
that dally come to him In the mail.
Although Major McKlnley has never
had any newspaper experience he has
a faculty of disposing of and getting
the meat out of a huge pile of news
papers that would reflect credit upon
some of the most trained exchange edi
tors of the profession. There were no !
callers of prominence at the McKlnley ;
residence up to 2 o'clock this afternoon,
and taken altogether this has been the
most quiet and uneventful day Major
McKlnley has passed in msny months.
The newspaper men who were on
duty at the Chicago national head
quarters and who were banquetted In
New York by Chairman Hanna, will
pass through Canton at 10.116 tomorrow
morning. Major McKlnley will drive
down to the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago depot where he will meet
and greet the correspondents enroute.
JEWELRY STORE ROBBED.
Five Thousand Dollars Worth of
Diamonds Taken.
Chicago, Nov. 9. J. Hermann & Com
pany's Jewelry store on the tenth floor
of the Masonic Temple, was entered by
two armed robbers late this afternoon,
who secured about $5,000 worth of dia
monds, a gold watch and chain and $100
in money and escaped. Mr. Hermann,
proprietor, and C. A. McQurty, a clerk,
were the only occupants of ths room
when the robbers enteed. They were
preparing to close up the day's busi
ness when they were confronted with
drawn reolvers. The outlaws ordered
them Into one corner of ths room and
then pound and gagged both. While
one robber watched over them with his
pistol In readiness his companion rifled
the safe of Its contents and slipped a
quantity of gems into his pocket. Mr.
Hermann's watch was taken from him.
The robbers escaped as they had en
tered and passed out into the street
without exciting suspicion.
It was several minutes before the
proprietor and the elerk could release
themselves and the robbers had made
good their escape. The mutter was re
ported to pgllce headquarters and a
dozen officers were detailed on the case.
No clue to the Identity of the robbers
has been found. They are said to be
not more than twenty-one years old.

San Francisco, Nov. 9. D. P. Thomp
son, of Portland, has Just arrived on
the steamship City of Rio de Janeiro
from Japan. Thompson is an ex
United States minister to Turkey, hav
ing served there during 189J, and hus
spent several weeks In observation and
recreation in the mikado's domains.
"The Japanese are preparing to be
come independent in military and com
mercial matters," said he. "The spirit
which controls them in every class Is
that of a desire for independence. They
propose first to have a navy. To this
end they have let contracts for cruis
ers In the United Slates and In Eng
land. But the government intends to
have many of its battleships built at
home. A dry dock is in course of con
struction at Nagaski, and it will. In
time, be followed by Iron and steel
works, where cruisers and men or war
may be built. Because of the low labor
cost they may be constructed more
cheaply in Japan than here.

should have met strong competition
from the Japanese factories. Already
there are t.OOO faatoriea In the city of
Osaka, and many of these manufacture
cotton cloths. They are buying Ameri
can cotton, and without a tariff they
could return this in cloth at lower
prices than we could make It. At Na
gaski coal was loaded on the Oriental
steamships at 12 per ton."

Prince Khllkoff's tour was to give the
Czar a resort on American railways,

In the present active development of
Russian railways."
