Speech That Shows No Weakening on the
Irish Question.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, JAM 11.-Hingler's Circus, in Liver
pool, where Lord Salisbury spoke tonight
holds six thousand people, and long before the
arrival of TIE hour for opening the doors the
price of admission for tickets had risen to Ell
each. with demaud largely in excess of the
supply Lord Salisbury did not reply to the
addresses presented to him while en- route to
Liverpool to-day, as he was suffering somewhat
from a cold and threatened with hoarseness.
and was advised to refrain from exposing him.
self to the air. He therefore rem mained in his
carriage to the end of his journey. When he
began his address tonight he was slightly
hoarse, but his voice became clearer
as he went on. Discussing the
Irish question, he said the Gladstonians had re-
lied upon their conviction that England could
not govern Ireland, and had directed their policy
toward securing the fulfllment of that fgment
of imagination. Mr.. Gladstone had prophesied
that the Conservatives would eventually give
home rule to Ireland, but never was the princi-
pie OF national union more sincerely held than
now. The Unionists were firmly convinced that
Ireland had become thoroughly consolidated
with Great Britain under the same legislature
and the same laws. and enjoying equal liberty
Vaccillation had been the great crime of Eu-
gland against ireland. and no government would
be OF any avail unless it showed that iJ could
govern absolutely.
Referring to the movement il favor of fai-
trade. Lord Salisbury declared himself to be still
a free trader in principle. but experience, he
said, had shown that the free-trade theory had
been carried too far. Inisapplied. in conse-
querce of which some reaction probable.
The sugar bounties question, he said, was an
instance of the hurtfulness of indiscriminate
free trade. Agriculture wes a more difficult
question. but it must be admitted that the inter-
ests of the producer and the consumer in the
productions of the English soil were bound by a
common interest and must stand fall to-
gether In concluding, Lord Salisbury ex-
pressed his conviction that those persons who
thought that the next general election would up
set unionism had utterly misread the sentiments
of the English democracy.

Dominion Postal service.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. l1.-Strong efforts are
being put forth all over the Dominion to induce
the government to lower the rate of Canadian
postage from three-cens 10 a two-cent rate. to
conform with that of the United States The
Postmaster general. however. states that at
present such a reduction is impossible in view
OF the large deficits annually between revenue

expenditures during the same period amounted
70 s3, 45S 100. deficit of sS54 S45. against a de-
nct OF $9ll. 900 during 1856 With this result
the Postmaster-general says he would not feel
lustihed Ia lowering the rate. If he did 10 wer
the letter rate the shortage in revenue would
have to be made mp by reimposine payment of
postage on newspapers. which now go through

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Jan. 1l.-An accident
occurred on the Southern Pacific railroad, near
Sumner, about midnight last night. which re-
suited in the burning of several passengers and
serious injury to many others. The north
bound Los Angeles express had just passed

full of sleeping emigrants, broke loose and ran
down a steep grade. After running for some
distance, and when it had attained friehtful
speed, the car dashed over an eighty foot en-
bankment and in a moment was mass of
flames. Several of the passengers are reported

severely hurt that they had to be carried to the
nearest station. The main portion of the train
had reached the next station. twenty miles dis
tant. before the trainmen discovered the loss of
the rear car.

wreck of the car. Miss Florence Wilson, from
Woodstock. ILL.,. had her skull fractured and re-
ceived internal injuries from which she will
probably die. The other two persons who have
sustained probably fatal injuries are women
