The Lord Mayors BANQUET.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-At the Lord Mayors ban
qnet this evening the Master of Rolls, respond
ing TO the toast in honor of Her Majesty 3
judges, referred to the recent visit of Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge to America, and said
Lord Coeridge had found in America that the
law was administered with all its good quail
ties, but had found that the law as admins
tered in both England and America was the
most merciful, most generous and most just
ever administered to any people in the world.
M. Waddington, French ambassador, reply
ing to the toast ia honor Of foreign ministers,
said the policy of France was not one of
aggression, but one of holding her own, and
that the French government was earnestly
trying to settle the pending questions affecting
France. Ills mission to London was of peace.
With regard to Ireland Mr.. Gladstone said:
There is much to be done, much to be desired,
much to be lamented, bat there is also much
to be hoped for. Peace and order must be
firmly maintained. (Cheers.)
Count De Lesseps, replying to the toast to
foreign guests, expressed conviction that in
approaching interviews with merchants and
ship-owBers of Great Britain on the Suez
Canal question, q spirit of fair play by which
he would be guided would dissipate all dis
agreements.

MADISON, Wis Nov. 9-TRe causes which

ascribe it to defective iron pillars and others to

The METROPOLITAN,

Mr.. T. q. Halstead, of New York, who
has been in st. Paul for several days, will
probably unite with G. W. Mcintyre in
taking a lease of the Metropolitan hotel,
an the expiration of Col. Belote's lease
which expires by limitation on the LIST of
October. Col Belote's health is so pre-
cerious that he finds it necessary to aban-
don the business of hotel keeping and at
tend to taking care of himself. MIR. Hal
stead has been the manager of the st.
Charles hotel, New Orleans, and has had
large experience in hotel keeping. He has
been talking the matter over with the pro-
prietors, and left last night for the east.
The negotiations have not gone so far as
to finally fix matters, though it is pretty
certain that the arrangements will be con-
Guided. Mr.. Mcintyre has acquired g.
valuable experience by assisting in the
management of the hotel since Mr.. Belote's
mishap last winter, and his extensive local
acquaintance as we'll as personal populari-
ty will make the new management espec-
tally strong.

Blue Stem.

Col. 4. r. Kiefer has sent to the GLOBE a
small sheaf of ''blue stem" wheat, a varie-
ty which has been imported from Europe
but a few years, but which is proving an
important and valuable variety, as the
following statement shows:
Mr.. Dominick He'll, of Mankato, Mimi,
in 1882 had half a bushel sown, and
threshed seventeen bushels. This year he
had fourteen bushels sown on fourteen
acres, and will thresh not less than thirty
five bushels to the acre.
The above wheat was sown al the same
time as other spring wheat, but r1pens a
few days later.
