The English elections are practically over.
When Mr.. Gladstone dissolved Parliament
he, with the Parnell party, lacked thirty-one
votes of majority over the Tories and Sc
ceding Liberals combined. Now the chang
es have been such that the Tories will lack
but fifteen or twenty votes of majority ov-
er the Gladstone Liberals, the seeding Lib
erals, and the Parnell party Tories and Sc
ceding Liberals together can command ma
iority over the Gladstone and Parnel forces.
No party of itself has the majority necessa-
ry for a strong government, but all circum-
stances seem to indicate that Mr.. Gladstone
will resign, and the Tories will be called on
to take the reins. A Tory ministry cannot
command the necessary majority without the
aid of the seeding Liberals, who are led by
Chamberlain and Harrington. These men
will hold the balance of power which Par
nell has held during Mr. Gladstone's present
government. 1t is altogether probable that
Chamberlain and Harrington will be invited
to enter the Tory cabinet; but it is not like
ly that they will accept the Invitation. By
remaining outside they can dictate to the
ministry; and really WELD more power than
they could as members of the government.
A Tory ministry, dictated to by a Radical
like Chamberlain and Wing like Harting-
ton, could do little in the way of solving
the pressing Irish question. 1t would have
no definite policy, no line of energetic action.
Meanwhile Mr.. Gladstone, however the
next ministry may be formed, will be hold
ing up definite plan; and it will not be long
before he goes to the country with it again.

What the Men on the War Ships Read

Although there have always been libraries
on board our naval vessels, it was not until
Commodore Walker became chief of the Bu-
of Navigation that they were of much use to
any of the crew except the officers. Formerly
the books on board ship were for the ex-
elusive use of the commander and the higher
officers, and were principally confined to
works of purely technical and professional
description. Now no ship going to foreign
station is considered to have its full compile
ment without a library, and by the end of
the voyage the books are well thumbed by
the many hands through which they have
passed TEE favorite form of reading is that
contained in books of travel, and this pro-
pensity is encouraged by the Navy Depart
ment because it is well for the men to be in
formed as to localities they may visit. Books
of technical nature, too, are read with in
terest. as well as histories and philosophical
works. Very few novels creep into the
libraries The books are furnished the Gov
erment at about fifty per cent. of their pub
lished values, and are paid for cut of the APP
preparation for navigation purposes. A ships
library, as it is now constituted under the
system used by Commodore Walker, consists
OIL ABOUT lnree uuUuI6u DOOkS. Lie same
list is used for all the ships, of which there
are about forty. which have the libraries.
This list begins with the Bible and the
prayer book, There is quite little law libra
ry of ninteen standard works. A few books
on diplomacy are also added and number of
works of a naval and military character.
This department also includes book of
naval songs, which is now but seldom used,
because the sailors have learned them all by
heart. Then there are technical books on
steam, German and Spanish handbooks,
with an unabridged Webster's Dictionary
and Roget's '"Thesaurus," provide the re-
quisite instruction in language. All the pub
lished volumes of the american Common

geography. Library books belonging to a
ship are intended for the use of all officers
attached to the vessel; also to be loaned to
petty officers and men when the commanding
officer may think it eXpedient

sible to prove that the Senator mightnot have
been elected without bribery, this report
amounts to declaration that until it
is proved that the Senator himself sane
toned the bribery he will not be dis
turbed. That will be practically impossible
to prove in the future because good care will
be taken that the beneficiary of the bribery
is in a position to swear without danger of
contradiction that he did not sanction it and
did not participate in it.

The negotiations between this country and
England for the extension of the extradition
treaty which have been pending for years
appear to have resulted successfully at last,
though there is nothing official ON the subject
as yet. England is said to have agreed that
embezzlement shall constitute an extraditable
offence and this country has agreed to surren-
der any dynamiters who may take refuge
here. Canada has been for many Years past
a safe resort for defaulting bank presidents
aad cashiers, and great many of these rascals
who ought to be within the penitentiary are
now living in peace and plenty across the
border. Hereafter their chances of escape
by flight will be very much diminished. One
effect of this change will probably be to re-
duce the number of defaulters, for the law
has had little restraining influence on men of
dishonest instincts because they felt pretty
sure that they could escape its penalties

RECEIVER RAND'S SECOND REPORT.
His Reasons for Not Recommending Distribu-
tion to Creditors of His Trusts Balance.

Receiver Rand yesterday submitted to Judge
Taylor his second report in regard to the affairs
of his trust, the Indiana Banking Company. 1t
showed balance on hand the date of the
last report, July l. 'S5, of $780, S91 g.; total re-
ceipts, $685. 488. 49, disbursements, $81, $40. 7S;
balance Sept II, $44, 1885. In connection with
this, he reported that out of the
balance dividend of 5 per cent
might be paid on all allowed claims,
il it not for the fact that there are several
unadjusted claims of large amounts fled against
che trust and in litigation. These several suits
are being closely contested, but should they be
decided favor of the claimants for anything
like the amounts claimed it would require more
than the amount on hand to pay them 38 per
cent thereon, thereby equalizins them with other
creditors. During the tendency of these claims.
which must be decided finally before the trust
can be closed, the receiver has pushed forward
the settlement of all other matters He found
that rejecting the low bids at the public sale
last year of real estate belonging to the trust
was wi9 measure. Since then he has sold at
private sale number of parcels of land at
double the price offered at the public sale.
Under the circumstances detailed he could not
recon mend further distribution at this time.

Not Guilty of Black-NTail.

Alex Craghead, the colored man charged with
black mailing by Richard S. Martin agent of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, was dis
charged by the Mayor yesterday. The evidence
showed that Martin and Craigheads wife con-
fessed to the husbands accusations While
Craighead threatened to shoot Martin, nothing
was said by him at the time in regard to amoney
settlement. This arose, it appears, on Martins
voluntary offer to make what reparation he
could in settling any possible suit for damages
the husband might bring against him. The
Mayor found that the $l00 note was not given
under fear, but that it was executed after Pa
trolman Thornton had taken the revolver and
razor away, when there was no opportunity for
Craighead to injure Martin. The husband and
Martin walked to a corner grocery to arrange
the matter. the latter being apparently anxious
