The conservative leader in the house OF lords adj
dressed meeting OF members OF that party here
last evening He said that the present state OF ar
fairs In Ireland IS due to Mr.. Giadstone's zg-Zag
policy OF extreme lenience and savage oppression
All the European powers. he stated, are united
against England. The Egyptian dilemma was not
due to the fulflllment OF Lord Beaconsfields en-
gagements but TO the procraStinatng policy of the
liberals. Lord Randolph Churchill addressed a
meeting OF conservatives at Leeds last night. He
SAID that franchise bill and redistribution bin
would have been passed by the torres in 1866 but
for the opposition OF Mr.. Gladstone and Mr. Bright
TO Lord Beaconsfield's measures. He regarded the
opposition or the powers to England as Il serious
matter. He believed that they would give practi-
cal effect to their protest against the suspension
or the Egyptian sinking fund. Further danger he
declared, awaited the government, both In Ireland

ANSWER OF THE PRESIDENT AND TRUSTEES TO ri
BILL FOR RECEIVER.


BILL FOR A RECEIVER
The answer OF the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
company and OF Lewis c. Smith, president, to the
supplemental bill OF Daniel K. Stewart, OF England
asking for Injunction and receiver was filed yes
terday In the United States circuit court for the
district OF Maryland. The defendants admit that
bonds Of the canal company to the aggregate
amount of 81 600, 500 have matured, and win ma
tuTe, during the year 1885. The defendants admit
that the interest coupons on all said bonds have
remained unpaid from the time alleged In the
original BILL but deny that the complainant or any
other holder OF the bonds is entitled to the relief
prayed in the supplemental bin, any part there
OF. The defendants claim that the canal has never
paid the interest on claims owned by the state OF
Maryland against the canal, which form a first
lien, in addition TO dividend Of six per cent per
annum among its.other stockholders. The defend
ants further say that the existing trustees under
the mortgage and deed OF June s, 1S48-Messrs
j. Bayard H. Smith, Allen Bowie Davis, George s.
Brown and George Hawkins Williams, OF Maryland,
and VIM. w. Corcoran, OF the District OF Columbia
are the true, proper and real complainants In the
cause, and that Mr.. Stewart has no right In HIM
self TO prosecute the suit and Il Il therefore prayed
that the bill be dismissed
