LONDON , Oct. 2. ( Now York Wrrld C blc-
Bram Special Telegram. ) General Balfour ,
chief tecrotary for Ireland , proposes making
n personal tour of the distressed districts.
The statements from the Irish Catholic hier
archy and British statesmen arc causing
much Interest there. Thu Irish viceroy's op
timistic message , pronouncing the reports of
v , crop failures exaggerated , ts criticized an
misleading. Swift McNelll. M. P. , presiding
at the latest mealing of the National Kedo'a.
tlon In Dublin , denounced Earl Cadogan , the
lord lieutenant , because "by bis exclusive
communication to the World ho hag broken
a promise , publicly made , that ho would
never comrmmlcato to the press on any pub
lic event and , moreover , when the viceroy
penned that message to the World ho had
Information from only 123 of the 219 dis
tricts In Ireland affected by the potato
blight. "
The latest novelty In Irish politics Is a
speech by John Howard Parnell , M. P. , at a
meeting of Redmond's league In Dubln , ad
vocating the establishment of a royal resi
dence In Ireland. This Ls a unionist nos
trum for weaning people from homo rule.
LIVELY.CAMPAIGN IN LIMERICK
The candidacy for the mayoralty of Lim
erick of John Daly , who served thirteen
years In a. British prison for complicity In
an alleged plot to blow up the House ot
Commons during a session , Is one of the
most remarkable recent emanations from the
> Y ficethlng cauldron ot Irish politics. Daly will
not bo a qualified burgess of Limerick until
November , when a nominee of his , now sit
ting In the corporation , will bo retired so
that Daly may take his place. Redmond's
now1 organization , the Independent league ,
isopposed to Daly. This has caused Intense
feeling and violent dissension In the extreme -
tromo party. Djly's election appears doubt
ful now , although at the outset It was
IhouKht that ho would have a walkover. He
Is pursuing his candidacy with resolute vigor
and holds public meetings nightly. Col
lisions between rival factions are so frequent
that the present nationalist mayor of Lim
erick has assented to a police order pro
hibiting binds from parading the city at
night until after the election. Fierce riot
ing Is expected before that , as Limerick Is
the only Irish city where the old-fashion
fighting spirit still survives. The situation
is complicated further by the differences be
tween the various sections of nationalists
over preparations for the centenary of 17US.
Oa Tuesday night a centenary committee
took possession against the order of the
corporation ot rooms In the city hall to hold
their meetings. The police were called In
to eject them and the members of the com
mittee are prosecuting the police for al
leged Illegal Interference.
SHIPMENT OF GOLD.
The English bankers still pursue the
ostrich policy , burying their heads In the
sand , when tlio question of gold shipments
to New York Is raised. The Statist warns
them that U Is unwise to Imagine that last
week's shipments will provo exceptional.
"With trade improving In the United
States , " It says , "and the continued necessity
to take cash from Now York to move crops
It appears probable that the deposits In the
Now York banks will bo still further re
duced and the difficulty of obtaining loans
will Increase. Should this occur It will mean
that the money In New York will become
dearer and that the gold will bo taken from
London to meet the demand. This Is all the
moro probable , as American operators now
uro less disposed to buy American stocks In
London , and In the absence of sales of se
curities by Europe it will bo possible for
the United States to take gold In payment of
their largo exports of produce. "

Hi-fore a Hot Fire.
( Copyright , U97 , by the Awoclitted Pm . )
LONDON , Oct. 2. The question locally
asked by the conservative press as to the
whereabouts of the liberal leaders has been
answered In triphammer style during the
past week by the speeches of John Morlcy ,
the former chief secretary for Ireland ; H.
H. Asqulth , the former home secretary , and
George W. B. Russell , former under secre
tary ot state for India.
"Disgrace abroad" and "dlraster at home"
were the tenor of all the speeches , which
was to bo expected , but It must be ad
mitted that tha arraignment In approved by
the confidences of many conservatives when
they rccill the record of the last few years.
Mr. Ruesell , In dealing with the subject ,
recalled Prince Bismarck's verdict of Lord
Salisbury as being a "lath painted to look
like Iron , " and Lord Randolph Churchill's
later estimate ot the premier as being "the
greatest funk In Europe. " Mr. Ruseell added
his own opinion ot Lord Salisbury , namely ,
"Frailty , thy name Is Cecil. "
The recent bye election In east Denblg-
shlro resulting In a greatly Increased liberal
majority seems to be a warning that people
are wearying ot the blundering that linn
marked Lord Salisbury's policy.
RUSSELL'S DIATRIBE.
Mr. Russell recited recent Instances In
which ho said the premier always started
with a fine display of vigor which "oozca
away so aoon as his opponent shows fight. "
Continuing , Mr. Russell said Lord Salisbury
backed down before Secretary Olney and Is
now backing down before Secretary Sher
man , and that during the course of the
peace negotiations between Grecco and Tur
key the czar and Emperor William handled
Lord Salisbury so effectively that ho was
made to eat his own pronouncements. Mr.
Russell concluded by remarking : "His lord
ship has Just conceded to the French full
overelgnty over Tunis and signs are not
vantlng that they will soon begin to elbow
s out of Egypt. Even the Mussulman sav-
gcs of India have taken heart , knowing that
hey are dealing with a mere man of words ,
n short , there are no limits to the endur
ance of paltroonery In high places. "
TROUBLE IN WEST AFRICA.
Unless the signs are deceiving trouble is
ircwlng In West Africa between the British
and the French who since 18SD have trebled
heir protectorate In western Soudan and the
great bulk of the accession to French terrl-
ory has been carved out of the country gen
erally regarded as being within the British
phoro of Influences. There are mysterious
lories afloat of disturbances at Lagos , on the
vest coast of Africa , and the movements
of British troc-ps to that part of the world
rom adjoining colonies , coupled with the
lews that the French colonial minister Is
going to Senegal. The Mahommedao chief
Samory Is operating In the Hinterland of the
gold coast and other signs lead to the belief
hat the situation Is dangerous stid that the
conflict of Interests Is becoming acute.
A high colonial olllcer says : "Tho native
ferment amounts to nothing , but the fact
s the French are hemming us In around
Lagos and pushing us into the sea and un-
ess wo are rehabilitated by a commission
to delimit the Anglo-French frontier much
nore successfully than formerly there Is
bound to be trouble. "
OPPOSED TO BIMETALLISM.
The chancellor of the exchequer , Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach , returns to London
next week , where his arrival Is eagerly an
ticipated by the United States monetary
commissioners. While the chancellor of the
exchequer may communicate a message Im
mediately to the commissioners It Is not
unlikely that It will be a notification that
the government IB still unable to glvo them
a definite reply to their proposals , but hopes
to be able to announce Its conclusion at
some specific future time.
Public men who are In the best position to
judge think that recent developments fore
shadow n negative answer. The situation has
resolved Itself Into a contest between the
banking Interests and the bimetallic forces
In the government , and the Impression In
the latter circle Is that the fact of Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach being personally dis
posed to accede to the wishes of the bl-
mctalllots Is being turned against the project
of Great tDrltaln's co-operation by the pres
sure of business Interests.
SMALL SPACE AT PARIS.
Major Moses P. Handy , the special United
States commissioner to the Paris Exposition
of 1800 , has hud a cordial Interview with the
French minister for foreign affairs , M. Hano-
teaux , In regard to the objects of his visit
to Europe , but he and his associates are dis
satisfied with the small amount of space
allotted to the United States and threaten
to withdraw. It is practically Impossible for
the authorities to extend the space. Apart
from the fact that the ground has been
definitely chosen , the horse car and railroad
lines approved and the concessions granted
there Is no available space whatever In prox
imity to the building.

BERLIN , Oct. 2. The entire German press
s speculating upon the new naval bill , which
is now being considered by the cabinet. Both
Dr. Mlquol , the -vice president of tlie council
f ministers , and the Bundcsrath have up-
roved the measure ; but before It reaches the
tclchstag It may still bo somewhat changed.
The bill asks for a total appropriation of
10,000,000 marks to be distributed over seven
'cars and contemplates the construction of
a score of vessels , of which ten are to be
arge ships. If the Reichstag refuses to
rant this amount of money It will bo sent
iiomo by the government and now elections
will bo ordered forthwith , In which the naval
iilans ot the emperor will bo made the prin
cipal Issue , In spite ot the whole agrarian
party's advice , who , In that case , fear defeat.
Against the government program there Is al
ready a great deal of opposition. The entire
eft , Including the radicals , ultra-liberals ,
socialists and the center party , are denounc-
ng It in their newspapers. The leader of
the organ of the center , the Cologne Voks
Zeltung , flatly refuses In a vigorous editorial
to "lend a hand In binding the Uelchstag In
ts appropriations to u period of seven years ,
as abridging the constitutional rights of that
body. " The center party , however , with 100
votes , Is absolutely necessary to pass the
Measure. The FreUslnlge Zeltuug expresses
similar views. .
TURKEY AND TiHH DUEIBUND.
The reports lu the Turkish newspapers to
the effect that Turkey Is negotiating with
Germany for a special defensive alliance and
that Turkey Is on the point of Jolplng the
drelbuud are denied emphatically at the
German foreign ofllce. The correspondent ot
the Associated Press , however , learns from
diplomatic circles that approaches to that
effect have repeatedly been made by Turkey
during the past three months and there Is a
variance of opinion on the subject between
Emperor William and Baron von Duelow on
one side and Prince Hohenlohe , the Imperial
chancellor , on the other side , the latter dis
tinctly rejecting all such overtures.
The hurried arrival In Berlin ot Count von
Munslcr-Ledcuburg , the German ambassador
to France , and his subsequent movements
have created a sensation. Immediately after
the ambassador arrived here from Paris on ,
Monday he had a lengthy conference with
Dr. Mlquel , Prince Hohenlaho being still
away , and the same day ho started for
Romlnten to ceo the emperor. After the
ambassador's return to Berlin on Wednesday
there was a special session of the cabinet
and Count von Munster-Lcdenburg then re
turned to Paris. There are many surmises
regarding the mysterious movements of the !
ambassador , but nothing definite has been
ascertained concerning them.
NEW BAVARIAN PARTY.
In Bavaria the democratic peasant feder
ation Is rapidly gaining strength. During
the paat week two hitherto hostile branches
of the federation have united and adopted
a Joint platform of the most radical nature.
It demands entire liberty of association ,
meeting and of the press , reform of the
Judiciary system , a complete division of
church and state , a diminution of the mili
tary burdens and the assumption by the state
of all rural mortgages. The leaders of this
newly formed party expect to sweep Bavaria
at the next elections.
The emperor Is having poor sport at
Romlntcn , from which place ho has sent
4,000 marks to the poor of Buda Pesth. His
majesty has prohibited bicyclists having ac
cess to the whole of Romlntcn district and
forests , the reason being that on the day
ot his majesty's arrival hordes of bicyclists
were "Impudent enough to race along the
road behind , In front and beside his carriage ,
scaring the horses and outspcedlng them. "
Emperor William was so annoyed at this
disrespectful behavior upon the part of the
bicyclists that he summoned the first police
man he met and ordered the olllcer to arrest
the worst offenders.
At Woerlshofen there Is a hitter strife be-
twecn Dr. Baumgarten and Prior Rlclc , each
trying to become sole successor to the late
Father Knlcpp In the management of the
famous water cure establishments. The re
sult Is that the newspapers ; Inhabitants and
patients are taking sides In the quarrel and
a manifesto has Just been published against
the prior. U Is signed by " 00 patients , In
cluding many representatives of principalities
and some members of royal families.
The students of Buda Pesth university have
sent a fraternizing telegram to the students
of Berlin university In which the former
refer flatteringly to tha recent presence
among them ot the "young , chivalrous , hero-
emperor" and touch upon the "tender alli
ance of German and Hungarian hearts. "
COMPULSORY LIFE INSURANCE.
The government Is prcparjng bills provid
ing for compulsory life Insurance through
out the whole empire and for old ago lasur *
et\co for the laboring classes. Delegates of
the central Insurance bureau have been
asked to advise tha government In this
matter.
Official statistics of the Imports and ex
ports of the empire show a largo Increase
for August compared with the same month
In 1895 end 1S9G. The eight months of 1S97
tihow an Increase of 2,114,855 tons ot Im
ports over the same period ot 189G , and an
Increase of 4,984,426 tons over the first eight
months of 1S95 and an Increase of 1,147,7K/ /
and 2,428,285 tons , respectively , In exporta
over the same periods of 1S9G sad 1895.
Further Inquiries made by the Franktorter
Zeltung , regarding the effects of the new
United States tariff , show that the Muhousu
prints are greatly affected and that the
chemical Industry of Lelpatc U little Injured ,
but the manufacture of mechanical and
musical Instruments has beem severely hit
and several ot the largest houses are about
to establish branch factories In the United
States. The toy manufacturers tot Nueron-
burg and Fuerth are also seriously affected.
Miss Leonora Jackson , the yoling American
violinist who has juat won the much-coveted
music prize known as Ui Mendelssohn
stipend , formerly resided In Chicago. She
was sent to Berlin by Mr . drover Cleve
land and other women , then In Washington
In order to study mode under Joachim.
This Is tlio first occfislSn upon- which the
prize , amounting to l.no/d , m rk.j , has been
won by sn American. The compatlUm
aroused the keenest Interest , representatives
ot a score ot countries and of all parts of

the Inflicting of sharp fines In all cases with

sult Is that a cyclist now is
completely at the mercy of the police , whose
notions ot pace are most erratic. But the
dangers of the streets and hitherto quiet
country roads had become to great owing
to wheelmen's selfishness that the authori
ties do not stop at the most draconlc meas

ila recently suggested to the other European
towers which have not shown much dis
position to assent to the suggestion that
ho differences between Spain and America
bo submitted to arbitration when matters
iomo to an acute stage. Russia's plan was
.0 select arbitrators from Sweden , France
and Switzerland , force Spiln to give to Cuba
a Canadian style of autonomy and award to .
he United States commercial advantages and I
ndemultles for losses caused by the war In
luba.
The chief obstacle In the way of a liberal
olutlon of the present crisis was that the

ho unionist constitutional party In opposing
he removal of General Weyler. But the gen-
iral drift ot the crlsU was favorable to the

The Idea ot a new cabinet Is very well re

itock exchange saluted the advent of Sagasta
by a general rise In all securities.
ARTHUR E. HOUGHTON.
PARIS , Oct. 2. ( Now York World Cable
gram Special Telegram. ) Do Batcnccs , the
Paris representative of the Cuban insur
gents , says : "I have little confidence In
Sagasta's promises. When In power ho
always practices exactly the opposite what
ho has preached In opposition. The Cubans
would not accept the Canadian form of
autonomy. The Insurgent constitution pro
vides that negotiations for peace shall bo
begun on a basis ot Independence. "

MADRID , Oct. 2. Senor Sagasta , the lib
rnl leader , has iiecn entrusted by the queen
regent with the ta.fk . ot forming a now cab-
pt In succession to the Azcarraga ministry.
Senor Sagasta , after leaving tlio quccn re
gent , had a long conference with the Mar
quis Vega do Armljo , who accepts the presi
dency of the Chamber. Admiral Bennejo be
comes minister of marine in succession to
Major Beranger.
The financial question is demanding the
greatest attention' and the liberals at the
outset of the coming session ot Parliament
will expose frankly the position of the Span
Isli treasury.
Slarshal Blanco , It Is stated , In all proba
blllty will accept the post of captain gen
eral ot Cuba lu succession Captain General
oral Woyler.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 2. The choice of Sa
gasta to form a cabinet lias been expectei
for several days and gave general satisfac
tion among diplomats who regard this oi
a distinct step toward an abandonment of
the aggressive policy thus far pursued to
ward Cuba and a substitution of conciliatory
methods for militarism. Sagasta Is said to
have stood from the first In opposition to
the policy pursued by Spain for the last
year , Those familiar with affairs in Spall
say the Sagista view has become popular
in Spain merely because the war policy bad
served to draft mostly young men from the
interior and expose them to disease on"
death.
As a' result of this sentiment It Is sal (
an election would glvo Sagasta a llbora
majority In the Cortes and thus permit him
to carry on the government without being
hampered by the conservative majority o'
100 , which now exists In the Cortes. Ko
this reason It Is said the conditions on which
Sagasta undertakes to form the cabinet an
even more Important than his personal se
lection. If ho Is to apjeal to the country
little doubt Is felt that the entire conserve
tlve regime will glvo away to an admlnls
trotlon liberal throughout , both In Corte
and cabinet.
The retirement of Senor do Lome ls prob
able as a result of the formation of a lib
eral ministry , and It Is believed the miniate
will tender hl resignation as soon as h
Is officially advised of the advent of th
Eugasta cabinet. Once before he has place
