THE ISSfn BlSQUfET
Of the Lord Mayor of London Attended
by Many Distinguished Persons.
Speeches by NJ. waddingfon, Mr. Glad
stone aud the Master af the Rolls.

LONDON, November 9.-The lord mayors
banquet this evening was attended by
many DISTINGUISHED PERSONS. Wadding-
ton, French Ambassador, replying to the
toast in honor of foreign ministers, said
there was no greater guarantee of the
peace of the werld than the hearty, cor
dial, loyal friendship of Great Britain and
France. France had made great progress,
and he had every confidence in her future.
The policy of France was not one of ag-
gression, but of holding her own. The
French government was earnestly trying
to settle the pending questions affecting
France. his iiiissioh. MAS one OF peace
France wished 10 approach Great Britain
in a spirit of good will, and he met the
same desire on the part of England.
lCheers.1
The master of the rolls, responding to
the toast in honor of her majesty's judges,
referred to the recent visit of Lord Chief
Justice Coleridge to America, and said the
latter found IN America the Law admins
tered with all its faults and all its good
qualities, but had found the law as admin
istered in England and America the most
merciful, most generous, the most just
ever administered to any people of the
world.
Gladstone replied to the toast in honor
Oh ner majesty MINISTER'S. Referring 10
Waddingtons speech, he said: 'Our
hearts best wishes are with France in
every career of peace, justice and orderly
government, on which she may find it to
her interest to enter" Referring to the
missionary Shaw affair, he said what come
| from the French government had
been offered rather than demanded
He believed the incident tends
to confirm the good feeling be-
tween the two countries. Gladstone
said orders had been issued for the with.
drawal of all portions of the English forces
from Egypt; and the Withdrawal would in
clude the evacuation Of Cairo. All the
great powers had declared their attach
ment for the cause of peace. With regard
| to Ireland he said. ''There is much to be
done, much to be desired, much to be la
! mented, but there is also much to be
| hoped for. Peace and order must be firm
| ly maintained" tCheers.
Count de Lesseps, replying to the toas
| in honor of foreign governments, expressed
the conviction that in his approaching in
\ terviews with the merchants and ship
owners of Great Britain on the Suez cana
question the spirit of fair-play by whicl
| he would be guided would dissipate al

OLD WAR CLAIMS.
The Reccomuie endation for u statute Of
Limitation Renewed.


Limitation Renewed.
Washington special: 3Ir Orange Fer
ris, the second auditor OF the Treasury,
in his report to Secretary Folger this year
renews his Recommendation Of last rear
for statute of limitation against all old
war claims. He SAYS that during the last
fiscal year at least 1000 claims have been
filed for bountyend back pay, not one
tenth of which have the slightest founda-
ton for consideration. The clerical labor
to reject claim is rs great as to allow one,
so that the government is annually at
great expense to keep clerical force 10
Judge of the merit of clsiIns that ought to
have been filed nearly twenty years ago, if
ever they are worthy to be presented. Au-
ditor Ferris thinksSthat Secretary Folger
will indorse his views in his forthcoming
report to Congress, which are substantially
as given in his report last year when he
said: "Adverting to the remarks in my
last annual report in regard to a statute of
Limitation; again invite attention to the
subject as one that calls for early and ia
vorable consideration. There exists con-
tinually increasing necessity for such a
law. 1t is required not that the payment
of Just debts may be evaded, but that the
public treasury may be protected from un-
scrupulous claimants and from the vexa-
tious demands of persons who, having re-
ceived all they are entitled to, make new
applications in the hope, apparently, that
something in their favor may turn up on
a re-examination OF their claims, or that
the evidence of former payment may not
have been preserved. OF the claims grow

THE BRICKLAYERS.
Statement Of Foreman Vaughn in Re-
gard TO the Strike


There is no change in the bricklayers'
strike. To an APPEAL reporter yesterday
Mr.. 9. W. Vaughn said:
The trouble in the first place was that
the contractors wanted the bricklayers to
work for 81 80 per day, and they would
not work for less than s. per day Then
the contractors advertised for hricklavers.
When the men began arriving the union
paid their way cut OF town, and the con-
tractors gave in, and the men went TO
work ON Friday, but on Monday morning
when the bricklayers came to work on the
Milbun Iron Works one of them was dis
charged, when every man on the building
refused TO work unless he was put back to
work, which was not agreed upon until
Monday noon, and the bricklayers
came Tuesday morning, and one
of them stated that he had been appointed
by the union to inform me that the union
would not recognize me as a boss, nor as a
journ syman, nor not even as hod-carrier.
| informed them that when a contractor
could not have anything to do with his
own work it was time to quit, and they
refused to work after leaving the building.
Two of them came back, with another
bricklayer that had worked on the build
ing, and the new man called me down and
asked me to go up town and see brick
layers and apologize to them and they
would go to work. | told them that had
not done anything TO them and | would
not go. These are the facts, and they can

at least part of the waste place in the
levees. So far as this county is concerned
the levee work has all been done in this
way, not one cent of the sum appropriated
by Congress ever having been distributed
with us. Another appropriation will find
this section clamorous for a share, how
