[ New York Herald Cnblc Spvcl.il to thn Ur.i : . ] Lord Major Staples gave n gicat dinner last nutuinn to the Salisbury ministry anil last winter to the ( JliilMonn cabinet. Ho gave another to thu new Salisbury ministry last evening. Tills Is a luiuai liable retold fora single ninyotnlty. These entertainments aio occasions of importance , because at such din ners the cabinet olllccrs make "stump'1 speeches without belnz bold olllclally ac countable for \\bat they say. Vet what tboy say often indicates their policy. The dinner was given at the Mansion hnu e , one cor ner of which mints the Utnk of En- pland nnd tlio Koyal Kxchaiige , within a stone's throw of the Herald building. Tlio triangular space thcioabouts was lilled in tlio early evening with crowds eager to see tlio ministers pass In and cheer their favorites. Inside was A ooitniors : AND risrAi. : SCIINI : under ekctilc lights , with flowcis In banks everywhere. The lord major and the lady mayoress received In municipal state in a main drawing loom of palatial slzo , out of which tlio guests cnteicd the dininc ball , known as the Egyptian hall , but now all that once was 1'haiaolc has been decorated out. This hall Is the si/o of the Fifth Avenue hotel dining room , but with n dome of gieat height , supported by twenty tinted pillars. The hall is ornamented with mammoth mirrors and thirty niches containing fine statuaiy. The guests , numbering 145 men and sixty- four woman , when seated presented A .Mr.MoiiAiu.K itANoutr 1'icTUnn , with thclt alternations of ilch uniforms , levee units of velvet coats , silver buttons and silk Unco hu-cclics , and magnificent toilets spark- llng with gums.

On the host's right sat the Marchioness of Salisbury , tiio daughter of the late Baion Alderbon , the gieat judge. Her face op pressed her pride in her htibband , her hap piness In his success. She woreapuiple velvet costume , richly tiimmcd wltli lace nnd quite burled under the Cecil family dia monds1. Near by sat her daughter , Lady Gwendoline Cecil , In company with the wife of tlio liist lord of the ad- mil ally. Not far off sat the Coniitess of Dtiugarvan , pale and fiagile , and Lady Charles Beie&foid , ilvallug in her healthful uppearar.cu her hcio husband.

Even the toasts to the queen , the prince , the army , tlio navy and the colonies wcio somewhat slurred over until the one touching the premier could bo readied. In vain Loid George Hamilton , as a young Sir Joseph Porter , K. C.

Then the premier plcasnntlj'lilntcd that this was doubly a jubilee jear. He found a jnbl- leo In the fact that thu classes and masses had pulled to e.lher to malnt.iin thu Impeilal union. It was a jubilee , too , because true legislators had conqueicd false agitators. Ho icfoued to thu Afghan and Egyptian dlflicul- tles still under solution.

Auto what Is to bo done , It Is impossible to say now , more than the Hist duty of the goveinmuut will bo to devote Its whole en ergy to fice thu loj ol people of Ireland from illegal constraints and restraints. Every remedy must be exhausted to allow the Irish people to earn their own bread unmolested. The advantage- this government Is that wo represent the mandate of the people against separation. The people have Irrevocably eo decided. Their motto is 'Social Older in Ireland , ' To maintain that is our primary duty.

The Vacant Room at the White House , Baltimore Herald : The Garfte.ldcham ber 1111110 white house still remains un opened , it ml has never been tenanted since it was vacated by the wounded provident in 1831. It is said that President Arthur had a horror of the place , nnd that the present occupant of the white house is equally loth to break the sombre si lence of the apartment. This course is natural , but it is scarcely wiso. Gen eral Garliohl did not die in the room , so theio is scurooly eron n ghostly presence to forbid the removal of the close cur tains nnd the scaling up of tlio apartment as n haunted clmmbur. There Is not too much space in the vyhitu bouse , nnd no desecration would bo implied in the res toration of the clmmbur to a condition of occupancy and usefulness. The did of the Prayer.

THE WAR OF DIPLOMATISTS , Secretary Bayard in a Great Sweat Over the Gutting Gase. NEWSOFTHE TROUBLE REFUSED.

[ Special Tele- cram to the Bni.I Secretary Uajard Is repoited very much worked no over the Cut ting alTalr. That Incident has taken a much tnoro serious aspect than ho contemplated. When in violation of thostatules ho peremp torily demanded the release before asking the Mexican authorities the reason for Cutting's arrest , as ho Is dhcctcd to do by law before rcsortlne : to de mands for release , he has now taken the step which he should have done on the first Instance. Hu has asucd the authoiltlcs of Mexico why they did not release Cutting. Of course he knows well enough the reasons which actuate the greaseis , but diplomacy demands that formal olllclal reply shall be made. Meantime all a\.iilablo war ma terial Is being massed on the bonier. Artil lery and ammunition in pi eat quantities aio said to ha\e been hastily shipped fiomail - ous parts of the country and the United States is as well prenaicd to force compliance with the iclterated demand for Cutting's iu- lease when it shall bo made , if Secretary uav- ard dech'CH that a second demand is neces sary. ' 1 hat actual warbetweon the two na tions is imminent , no one hem believes for a moment , but an outbreak of a local character between the lough chaiacters of the two sides of the balder is expected. Close an n Clam. WASHINGTON , August --Special [ Tele gram to the BKK.1 Tlio secretary of state Is chagrined over the publications In the news papers about the Cutting affair , There is only one answer now gi\en byeverjono connected with the department and that is there is "no news. " That means simply that them Is no news that will bo given to the public. The fact Is there is a great deal being received and sent every day. All cor- icspoudoncc with Minister Jackson Is being conducted In cipher. The key to tills cipher is kept a profound secret and is changed fre quently. The cipher is susceptible of more than one hundred thousand variations and is not likely to bo discovered by the public at large. The last dispatch of Importance sent to Minister Jackson Instructed him to make a demand on the Mexican goveinmciit that the governor of Chihuahua beoidered to release Cuttliu. An official who ought to know what Is coins forwaid said to day that the follow lug would piobabiy be the outcome ot the whole mattci : "Alter Uniforms of tiial ha\c been gone through with , and Cuttinir has been iotmally dis posed of by the Chihuahua autlioiities. Presi dent Diaz will paidon him as hu has a per fect rluht to do under the Mexic.m constitu tion. When Cutting is at llbeity then will be tlio proper time to consider tliu methods th.it have been pursued toward him. The Mexi can autlioiities have followed tlio course of law they claim , \\lillo we claim they have not. With Cutting at libertv the whole matter 13 a piopor subject for arbitiation. It is absurd to suppose that tlieio will bo war over so trivial an affair and so cheap an adventuier. " Germany's Position. WASHINGTON , August 11. [ Special Tele gram to the BEI.J Speaking of the rumor that the German government was backing the Mexican government in opposition to the demand of Secretary Bayard in the Cutting atluir , a high olllclal of the state department to-day said that veislon of tlio matter Was absurd , It was true the German government was taking a jrreat interest In Mexican af fairs , but only with a view to extend Its com merce theio. Otheiwlso the German govern ment was well awaio of the fact that no quaircl between the United States and Mexico ice could bo settled by outside interference. The Geiman government has always lecog- nlzcdaud w ill hereafter lecogime the Monioo doctrine , and while it may follow German coloul/ailon In Mexico , that government is too intelligent to believe those colonies can overbeeomu subject to its contiol or form a pait of the Geiman empire. German coloniz ation in Mexico can have no other object than to extend German commeico in that conntiy. Germany knows very well the United States will never submit to a French piotectoiato over the Isthmus , ami to prevent that Gci- many has only to side with the United States against It and uphold the Mortice doctrine. El Paso Is Not Afraid. . EL PASO , Tex. , August 11. | Special Tele gram to the Bni : . ] The tmpicsslon Is gaining ground In El Paso that the Cutting case will bo a subject for diplomatic coriospoudence for some months to como , and that mean while the prisoner will not bo. released. A peed deal has been said duung the last few days about tlio defenceless condition of El Paso In case of a sudden attack by the Mexi cans , but there Is really no cause for alarm. There aie a few hundred Mexican soldiers in Paso del Norte , but they seem sullen , dissatisfied , and ready to desert at the fust chance. On the other hand Y.\ \ Paso contains some splendid lighting ma terial and could raise in an cmoigcncy 1,000 armed men , who would hold their -place against any toico the Mexicans might bilng against it until help could arrive by railroads , but these will probably all bo idle specula tions as the wholu distuibanco seems to bo quietly slmmcilng down.

Ho replied : Upon going over to the Mexican side on the morning of publication , 1 had In my pocket a copy 6t the paper hi Sentinel.

Ingliam will follow for the state , and he will bo fol lowed by Foster and Black for the defense , Grinnell closing the case foi the state. Mr. Walker began by stating that In this republic all men stood equal before the law , and when the perpetrator ot any crime stood before the bar for trial , the Goddess of Justice was in dited blind until his guilt had been proven , no matter whether he was a socialist or an anarchist. The very law which ho had desired to "throttle" now stood as his piotector until his guilt was shown , and In tills case proof had made the defend ants guilty bovond a shadow of a doubt. The speaker next called the attention of the jury to the definition of a "reasonable doubt" Ho quoted numerous authorities to deline the crime of murder , and quoted to show that any one who aided , assisted or on- comaged a murder should be deemed guilty and punished accordingly , and whether the piinclpal is puuWied befoie or atter or not punished at all. those who assisted , aided or encouraged were equally guilty , and should uo deemed guilty ol minder. He then quoted from tno speech of Solomon ot the defense , In which the latter said if tno defendants were guilty of couscir- acy , convict them of conspiracy but not of mm dor. Ue timber quoted tiom Solomon's sutecli , In which the latter asked : "Have thev muidcred many people ? " Mr. Walker said only seven men had been nuirdcicd and some sixty wounded , and vet tlio counsel asked if they had .muidiued many people. The speaker iald but for tlio heioisiu J&f-UieJoHcd6u Way 4 , many would have been inuidered , and a social revolution for which tliO'doldndants ' admit that they bought dynamite and aims , would have oeen ac complished. These men formed a conspir acy , the lesult ot which was the throwing of tnu bomb and the death of Matthias J. Dee- gan. "The punishment foi minder , " said tlio speaker , "is death. " Continuing his succch at the opening of tlio afternoon session , Mr. Walker defined the law ol the state in i elation to accesioiies , and said the conviction of any ono of the defendants was nulhoilred by the law though ho was not piesent at the place of commis sion ot the crime , nor had ever agreed that the crime was to have been commuted at that time. The fact that he had advised or eu- couiaged the commission of such crime , through a speech at public meetings or through published articles or private conver sations , made him an ncccssoiv. Walker spoke with contempt of tlio eflorts of ceitaln defendants to base their hopes of acquittal unon tliopiouud tliat they were not piesent at tlio Haymarket when the bomb was thrown , and characteii/ed them as the lead ers in the conspiracy to commit wholesale murder. lip then lead trom Most's Instruc tions to the defendants on the witness stand advising them first to save themselves. If possible , for "future deeds , " and If that pioved impossible , to use their posi tion in thu w itncss chair to teach the princi ples ot revolution. "This. " said the speaker , "was the course followed bj 1'aisons. Find ing no loophole tor escape he turned the wit ness stand Into the stool of piopaganda. " Walker w as rewarded with a muimnrof applause from the audience when he re ferred to Spies' speech at Giaud llapldson Washington's blithday. Said the speaker : "Spies compared himself to ( ieoigo Washing ton. Ho said time will bo a i evolution in 1880 when the eight-hour movement i caches Its culmination. George Washington led the revolution. If he had tailed ho would have been punished. If 1 fail 1 will bo pun ished. They aie known by numbers and not by names , and any one can join oy applica tion. " Walker then icad from the testimony of Witness Wilkinson , who swore that Spies told him the lovolution would occcur on the 1st of May or about that time. "Does not this , " asked tlio speaker , "look like conspliacvV'1 Walker devoted some time to an editorial iiitlclo In the Ahum , which closed vtlth the woids : "Tho social war has come. Whoever is not with ns is against us. " "Does this look like con- pnlia-iyV , asked the speaker. "The editoi of the Alarm was A. It. Parsons , defendant. Walker dwelt at some length on Spies' speech to McCormlck's strikers , during the progress of which a largo number nf his mi- dienco bioUo awav and Joined In the riot In which several peisons weio killed and wounded. "Then , " said the speaker , "Spies came back to the Arbciter Xeilung , believing that ho ban 8,000 new converts at his back , and wrotuthu editorial containing the woids , 'Had they been provided with good weapons and ono djnamltubomb , not ono of the mur derers would havu escaped.1" At tills point W.ilUer read the celebrated "revenge" circular in which the woid and sentiment "levengu" Is thu inducement held out to tlio rcadeiH ot the circular to attend the meeting , and Ibo purpose to "revenge the victims of the bloodhound police. " "Does this look Ilko conspiracy to murder the po- HcaV" said the speaker ; "and Is there no sitr- nliicancu in the luct that Spies called thu re venge meeting to meet on thu llaymaikct , the very place designated toltepoilcr Wil kinson as tlio location ot the commencement of the social i evolution ? " Walker was still speaking when the court adjourned. A Murder Mystery Explained.
