Yesterday Mr. NoidhotT , the cor respondent , called upon ( he president and asked If he Intended to send to the senate the Information upon which he had sus pended olllclnls. This has been a Hciatd hobby. President Cleveland said ho would not. Describing the Interview the cone- Npondcnt says : "He has como to the conclti- hlon that the constitution gives tlio senate no right of Inquiiy , and that he ought to stand upon his constitutional right , and , as ho said t/ ) your coiie.spondcnt , 'hand down the piesl- dentlalpieiogallves uiilmpalicd to hh suc cessor.

' This Is supposed to be a govei nnient of the people , for the people ple , and every admliiNtrotlon ought to 'live behind gla.ss doors.

He said that theio was a strong sym pathy In congress for railroad companies that have constructed their lines by aid ol land grants ; that they bonded their roads nnd their grants , and thcicloio their land ? have pas-ed into the hands of innocent pur chasers , so that the corporations would not bo hurl by forfeiture , but the purchasers ol the lands would be. Mr. Payson predicted that the only lands of the Northern Pacific which will bo forfeited are those on the Paclllc slope , vvhcio the road has not beer built , and only the grants of the Atlantic S Pnoilic east of Albuquerque ( New Mexico ] would bo forfeited.

[ Special Cablegram. ] This has been an Interesting but disappoint * Ing week. The Kngllsh and Irish public alike looked to the queen's speech and to the speeches of the conservative and liberal lead ers In parliament for some relict to the pro longed anxiety about Irish matters. They get very little. The crisis hangs lire. Neither the torlet nor liberals are { . .itlsllcd with the course o affairs. What most contents the most people In Kncland Is what the queen says about homo inle. The speech made in her name by the ministry definitely places Ihc conservative party against all attempts to disturb the existing legislative union between England ami lieland. The ministerial method of dealing with the other and more urgent part of the Iilsh question bears marks of n compromise between the differing sec tions ot the cabinet. The tone of the speech Itself was thought linn , though known to have been modified in consequence of Lord llandolph Clmichlll's remonstrances against the use of the word coercion. Lord Salisbury In the house of lords and Sir Michael Illcks- Dcach In the commons disclosed modlflca- tlons much moio Important. The best kept secret of the nilnlstcilal pol icy was the resolve to propose reform of pro- ccdino In the conmons , and give this reform precedence o\er all other business , Irish mat- eis Included. The ministers allege ns an ixcuse for delaying Irish legislation the ne- csslty of obtaining luither information. Smith's appointment as chief secretary for reland .supplies a plausible pretext for this ilelay. A new man must have tlmo to decide ilia new policy. The liberals utort , "Why , .hen , did you make the queen draw such n gloomy nlcluie of the social condition of the country , about which you now profess not to know enough to bo able to IcglsIatcV" There s no answer to that question. The tory mistake as a matter of tactics is obvious. They have wholly broken with the Parncll- . They must , thcicfore , rely wholly fqt imajoiltyon the liberals , who are opposed o homo iiiloand ready to grant the govern ment the powcis they consider needful for estoiing law and order in Ireland. But the nlnlstry postpones the demand for these powers fora while , though every day's delay weakens their case and gives time to restore .tnity In the liberal ranks. Tlio liberals lor a moment seem to be with out leadership. The ministry offered a dis- Inct challenge on home rule. Nobody takes t up. Probably It is a good parly niovo to ibstnln. The ministry , if beaten , would ap peal effectivelv to the country as the cham pions of imparial unity. Nor could they probably bo beaten in the commons on that issue. Nobody Is willing to make the flr&l move or show his hand. Gladstone's speech was the speech of an adroit tactician , and committed him tc nothing. Ho regained , while speaking , his old ascendancy o\cr the house , and excelled ilmself In fervent appeals to a spiiit of con ciliation and itistlcc. It is doubtful , never theless , whether ho has ot still furtlici widened the breach in tlio liberal party , Everybody understood the speech as r bid for n Parnclllto alliance. Tin Irish cheered him warmly thioughoat Ills denial of the responsibility lor lionu rule schemes convinced nobody. He d Id noi deny his conversion to the principle of honu rule. Willie his speech continued the uni veisal belief in his desire to secure the Irisl support by creating an Irish parliament , itf tone was ono of anxious deference to Irisli opinion. Nothing marked it so strongly a ; when he besought the Irish to forgive bin for saying that ho still warmly biipportei herd Spencer's administration. Tlio Irlsl members not only forgave him. but warmh welcomed the new recruit. Parncll , with his usual dexterity , dcclaici himself desirous to imitate Gladstono's spirit He said ho believed between them they coiih find a solution of the Irish problem. Ho sa down without giving a .single hint as to wha scheme of homo rule ho was icady to proposi or accept. There matters stand , and been likely to stand for the present , the leaders al round making time. Outside ot parliament nothing has so mud Influenced English opinion as the statement of tholoval Iilsh deputations to Lord Sails bury , implementing that commerce , Industi ; and society weio suffering grievously trom the tyianny of the league Gladstone's retusal to iccclvo these nunici oils and Inlhicntlal deputations was blgnil : cant. Not less significant was tlio tact tha Lord Haitlngton did iccclvo them. .Many other topics , somoof them Important occupied the queen's speech , but nothltij diverts attention fiom Ireland. The queen' pieseneo at the opening of 'parliament gr.it I lied tlio .lories nml set some llbcial grumbliig.

The Kansas City men , when they first came here , were inclined to join hands with the St. Louts people , but the arguments made before the meeting of the Southwestern Hallway association showed them they wcio being used by the St. Louis people to pull their chestnuts out of the lire , and that the Interests between Kansas City and Chicago wcie more Identical than those between Kansas City' and St. Louis , and , thcrefoic , they mean 16 act In harmony with the Chicago people. . The proposition of the St. Louis people to base the Kites trom Mlssoml liver points to St. Louis and Chicago upon the actual mile age , they found would affect Kansas City in- tciestsmoio ecilously than Chicago.

In soniodopailiilcntsof business , not ably the dry goods Interest , there Is n continu ation of the hopeful feeling regarding the volume of business and pitccs , while other trades the Iron producers being the most conspicuous example aie somewhat appre hensive and give expiesslons calculated to Induce the belief thatsoinoot the late esti mates of the boom in 1S81 were unfounded. The steel rail situation Is unchanged. Some purchasers openly assert that In splto of the combination they could make contracts at SU'l per ton ; and filrther , that rails can bo bought f or SSO per ton before long. In view of tlio amount of railroad construction In various patts of the country , this seems rather a risky prediction. The anthracite coal business is In a thorough state of demorall/a'tlon. Prices arc cut right and left , and no one seems to have the slightest confidence in the future. It , therefore , does not seem likely another pool can bo formed , and there Is every pios- pcct that the demoralization of the eastern haul coal market will continue Indefinitely. There Is a general feeling theio Is a gicat deal In the discovery that Interior milling points are obliged to fall back on the Chicago supply of wheat in order to supuly their wants. The enormous visible supply has been harped upon so long that there appeared no escape from a further fall In wheat. It seems , however , to have dawned on the pee ple's minds that If such impoitant milling ecu tors as Akron ( Ohio ) and other points cannot depend on the local supply , but have to haul wheat from Toledo and Buffalo , there is something wrong with the visible supply business , and wo will not have anything like the surplus stock for export which has been so much talked about. At the same time the foreign wheat mar kets are in a condition which does not war rant any considerable advance In our prices. Kates for sterling exchange still hang at a polntwhcro the difference between buying bills and shipping gold to a large exchange house is only about S10 in 810,030. Under such circumstances It Is not surpilslng that 5500,000 In gold went out this , and moro ex pected to follow next week. The reduction of the Bank of England rate on Wcdndsday last from 4 lo 3 per cent does not affect our situation in the least. The fact * pf tlio ex change situation is , it on ly needs a slight In- d.rojv hi tiioInquiry for exchange' , by int ; porters to send out gold by the'ralllloii1" ; The staclrtnarlretv Is In a puzzling condi tion. The oldest Wall street men hesitate to risk any predictions as to its course. While there Is a great deal of bearish feeling among the veterans , there Is by no means any dis position to sell stocks which are known lo bo strpngly held. The news of tlio week Is gen erally beailsh , but Is nearly all of a charac ter which might bo reversed voiy quickly. Bull pools seem to bo kept intact , and await only a slight change In circumstances to try for another advance. The stiect Is consequently divided In opinion to a much greater extent than usual , and It was t'nither noticeable tliero Isagtcatirre.gulatily In the relative situa tion of the various stocks and classes of stocks. For thu time being there Is no uni son In the market. It Is thcicfoie mora than anoralnailly dangerous place lor n Iamb to Ibc In , and In Its present condition best to be eft to the gentlemen of the exchange , who chase the nimble eighth ana evasive quarter per cent from day to day.
