Salisbury,s Speeeb.

LONDON, July 24.-Lord Salisbury ad-
dressed large meeting at Sheffield He
tainted the government with fearing to
Dissolve parliament because they knew they
had deluded the hopes of their count1ymen
by broken promises. Oceans Of
blood, he said, had been shed
unnecessarily and the course of the govern
ment had weakened England's prestige at
home and power abroad. They naturally
feared an appeal to their constituents when
discomfort in Ireland and distraction through
out the empire could be brought as argu-
ments against them and an account de-
manded.

LONDON, Dec. 3l.-The Madrid corre-

Dominguez, the Spanish minister of war,
having insisted that the reply of the cortes to
the speech from the throne should bind the
liberal majority to approve of universal suf-

The Times correspondent interviewed Senor
Dominguez upon the subject, and the latter
stated that he believed that any attempt to
form a republic would bring about disorder
and civil war, and raise the brute force OF
Carlism. He stated that Senator Riuz Zor-
lila, by his action in fostering the Badajoes
conspiracy and by the issuing of his recent
manifesto, has completely destroyed all the
remaining chances for the formation of a
Spanish republic. Senor Dominguez further
said: 80 long as l am minister Of war | will

cede II France responds TO her well.meant
concessions she will not stop to consider how
far her present attitude may tally with her
original position when she insisted upon the
full letter of her rights. The northern bank
Of the main navigable branch Of the Red
river represents the ne Plus ultra Of Chinese
concession. China believes that she can
secure he rights as efiectually with Quang-
Yen, Bac.Ninb, and Lao. kai in her possession
as France with Hai-Phong Haid-Xuong, and
Hai-Noi. The question of tho permanent re-
tention Of Sontay should be sumbitted to the
arbitration of third party.
The Times says: The rejection by the
French of these offers must result in the tri-
umph of the anti-foreign party in Pekin.
China's desire for peace being sincere, the
powers interested should offer their media
tion collectively If there ia any hesitation
in any quarter en- this point the right of
initiative rest in a very high degree with the
United States, which government is bound
by the terms of the Burlingame treaty to
offer her good offices whenever China re-
quests them. Should Prime Minister Forry,

hinese embassy the present occasion will
