CHICAGO, Nov. PA special from ST. Paul,
Minn., says: John V. Wright and Z. F. Larra-
bee, OF the Indian comm Mission, arrived from
Duluth last evening. They report they had a
second lnterview with the Millelacs, but could
not induce them TO consent TO removal To the

this, the commission then offered the Indians
81, 600 cash Tor their right OF occupancy OF the
reservation, but this was refused also. The
Millelacs reservation lies twenty-five miles

clause in the treaty, however, that the Indians
should not be forcibly removed from their for

A Strong Indictment Of Their Wisdom
by Liverpool Merchants

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Nov. 24.-The opposition to the new
American mail contracts is summarized i'm a
petition to the postmaster general from Liver
pool which the provision trades adopted at a
meeting yesterday. 1t was computed that IL
hours will be lost to Liverpool the center of the
American trade of all the districts north of
Birmingham, by making Southampton the
port OF call. Efficient mail service can only be
secured by Eve first-class steamers being en-
ployed, whereas now the contract has been
given TO one British company possessing only
pany possessing no fast steamers and to q for

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Nov. PA volume is published
this morning called "The New Liberal Pro-
gram," contributed to by representatives of the
liberal party and edited by Andrew Reid.
Gladstone's remarks have already been pub
lished. Other contributors, among whom are
the Earl Of Aberdeen, Sir wilfred, Lawson. Sir
Walter Forster and Jacob Bright, reply to ques-
tions, "Why was the liberal party defeated at
the last general election?" and second, "What
ought 1t do in order to win the ne xt timer" La
bouchere's answer is typical of all the replies:
"My reply Is, the loss was due to the party
having neither a good organization nor a good
program. If 1t wants to win IL must have
ooth. The time has come, Labouchere con-
siders, when program must be substituted for
a name. The program must be the outcome OF
the collective opinion Of the liberals repre-
sented by the national liberal federation.
w hen this federation in its improved form has
reached a decision the individual must accept
1t or be ruled out. 'Ihe force OF united action
is fully understood by the classes. They are the
army, we are the mob, at one moment swapping
and snarling at each other; at another mere
sheep, led into by-ways by doubtful shep-
LABoUCHERE's ADVANCED PROGRAM.
The program he lays down, which is the most
advanced in the book, is one of home rule Tor
Ireland, with Irish representatives at West
minister for imperial affairs and no land pur-
chase; second, a tree breakfast table, progress
sive income tax and progressive succession
duty; third, disendowment and disestablish-
ment, the church funds to be devoted, after the
recognition of private endowments OF the last
nifty years, to educational purposes; fourth, the
right of every parish to purchase the land at its
actual value and lease or sell il to small occu-
piers, abolition of entail, confiscation to the
state of lands owned by private individuals
which may be cultivated, but are not part of
the amenities OF residence; fifth, the abolition
OF hereditary legislators. The above he adds,
are only q few OF the reforms now necessary.
THE OFFICIAL CAUCUS PROGRAM.
Sir Walter Forster, chairman Of the fedora
tion, gives what may be called the official eau.
Gus program under five heads, viz: Home rule
tor Ireland reform of the land laws reform of

cation and popular control of liceL sing. The

Mr. Blaine Snubs senator Edmunds.
PAINFUL SCENE IN THR HOUSE OF THE
DEAD EX.PRESIDENT.

Mr. Blaine Snubs senator Edmunds.
A PAINFUL SCENE IN THR HOUSE OF THE
DEAD Ex-PRESIDENT.
From the New York Tribune to-day.
Erroneous reports being in circulation in re-
gard to q scene between Mr.. Blaine and Sena-
tor Edmunds it is proper that the facts be ac-
curately stated. On Sunday afternoon MIR.
Blaine paid visit to the house of ex.President
Arthur, and, as he entered the parlor, Senator
Edmunds came forward with great apparent
cordially, extending his hand and saying:
'How do you DO, Mr.. Blaine? Mr.. Blaine
stood with hands holding his hat in front OF
him, in the position familiar to all who have
met him, and made no response, simply look
ing MIR. Edmunds in the eye. Seeing some em.
barrassnent, Clayton McMichael said: 'You
know the Senator, Mr.. Blaine?' Mr.. Blaine re-
mained perfectly silent, and Mr.. Edmunds at
length, apparently comprehending the sitIla-
ton, retreated to the sofa from which he had
risen. A few minutes later Mr.. Blaine ex-
pressed to MIR. McMichael and Mr.. Miller his
sincere regret that an act imperattvely de-
manded from him should have occurred In the
house OF mourning. Mr.. Blaine made no ex-
PLANTATION Of his motive, but the presumption
is that he was not anxious to shake hands ON
Sunday with u man who had gratuitously
slandered him ON Saturday. The marvel is
that Mr.. Edmunds made the approach. It was
on Saturday that Mr.. Edmunds' letter was pub
lished by his friends and apparently with his
approval, distinctly intimating his belief that
Mr.. Blaine was q dishonest man.

THE PLOT AGAINST DAVITT.
Mr.. Patrick Egan Imelined to Think
There il Something ln It.

LINCOLN, NEB., Nov. 24.-Mr. Egan. ex-presi-
dent Of the Irish national league, was seen to-
day regarding the rumoFed conspiracy to assas-
sinate Michael Davitt He said he believed
there were good grounds tor the rumor, and
that if evidence were wanted on the subject il
would be found by reading between the lines OF
dispatch from New York which appeared in
the papers OF yesterday morning villiiying Mr..
Davitt's character. That dispatch, Mr.. Egan
said, was made up of a tissue OF untruths. For
example, it states that Mr.. Davitt was badly re-
ceived throughout the west, including Ne
braska. Every one here knew, said Mr.. Esan,
that no public man ever received a more cor
dial welcome or left behind him better i'm
preston in Nebraska than Michael Davitt. Mr..
Egan says that while O'Donovan Rossa may
not be personally mixed up in the. plot, the con-
spirators are not very tar removed from him.
The difference between Finerty and Davitt Mr..
Egan regards as simply an honest divergency
OF opinion between good men as to policy and
methods; but the attack OF D Donovan he char
acterized as mean and contemplate. He says
that Rossas only exploits for a considerable
time have been TO force off empty threats and
fire off blank cartridges at England aud to pelt
wind at sensible, levetheaded Irish national

coMAANDER SAMPSON RECOMMENDS THAT TT
BE FOUR YEARS INSTEAD OF SIX.
Commander w. I. Sampson, superintendent
Of the Naval academy, in his annual report
urges q change in the academic course. and
that the term be four years instead OF six. He
calls attention to the fact that the frst four
years of the course are now devoted chiefly to q
good general education, the technical course
beginning In the fourth year and continuing in
professional line through the fifth and sixth
years, during which naval cadets serve on
board board cruising vessels. He thinks that they
course. He shows that under the existing sys-
TEN, when congressional districts are restricted
TO one candidate every six years. one third OF
the boys are never eligible for admission to the
United States navy, while reduction Of the
course nom six years to four would give each
district the appointment Of cadet once In
four years, instead OF once In six years.
The report 10 accompanied by draft Of o bill
intended 70 carry It into effect, the plan which
will result In an annual saving TO tho govern
ment OF over $36, ,OO0 It is stated that the
change recommended is strongly Endorsed by
the academic board and by the naval service
generally.

The annual report Of Commodore ]. G.
Walker, chief of the bureau OF navigation.
states that the compass houses will shortly be
completed, and 1t Is expected that the magnetic
instruments will be mounted and in readiness
for observations by January next AS a result
OF the competitive trial OF forty-five chronome-
ters submitted by American makers at the
naval observatory recently, thirteen passed the
tests and nine are accepted by the bureau. It
IL proposed to continue these trials next year
and to purchase as many successful ones as
possible.
- ELECTRIC LIGHTING OF WAR SHIPS.
The Atlanta and Boston have been supplied
by single incandescent electric lighting plants.
This method of lighting ships of war, the report
says, owing to the small amount of heat given
of, the absence of disagreeable odors and the
more perfect illumination, adds much to the
health and comfort OF the officers and men,

DEEP SEA soUNDINGs
The Juniata and Essex were supplied with
deep sea sounding apparatus, which will render
1t possible to take deep sea souudings in locali-
ties the depths of which have not yet been de-
term1ned. The revision OF the general signal
book has been completed. The Ranger is to
complete soundings in the Pacific and then is
to search for rocks and shoals in the north
Pacific ocean. When the Thetis is ready it is
proposed to send her to the Spanish main to
correct errors and charts from old surveys, and
then she will go to the Pacific to search for re-
ported dangers to navigation.
1t Is recommended that the appropriation for
the department library, which was reduced
from ~, 800 to 81 900, be restored to the orig-
nal figures.
THE NEW NAVAL OBSERVATORY.
Steps have been taken to commence the erec.
tion of the new naval observatory on the site
purchased by the government for that purpose.
Attention is called to the ill effects likely to
result from delay in obtaining for publication
In naval war records the papers now in private
hands; to the advantages to be derived from
placing the library OF the Navy department on
the same footing, regarding the binding OF
books, as the libraries of the State department,
surgeon generals Office and Patent office; to
the risk OF doing the chart work of the hydro
graphic Office in the present building; to the
importance of establishing compass stations at
the large seaports OF the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts; to the advisability OF extending the
system of time balls for the benefit OF the mari
time community, and to the desirabllity of in
creasing the pay OF the instrument maker of
the naval observatory. An estimate of $780,
