SAJlSBURY,S STATEMENTS

LONDON, Aug. 9.--The lord mayor gave
banquet at the Mansion house in honor
OF the cabinet ministers. After the ban
quet number of speeches were made
Lord George Hamilton first lord of the
admiralty, said that the old method of
warfare on which their instructors de
pended was unreliable. II the country
was to feel a sense of surety it would be
necessary III the future to maintain navy
at high standard.
The Right Hon. Edward Stanhope, sec
rotary of state for war, said the govern
ment was trying its utmost TO improve all
the defenses of the country. He hoped the
people would be aroused to sense of the
necessity of national defense, and that
they would not look backward
fbThe lord MAYOR, in offering a toast to
the health of Lord Salisbury. said the gov
eminent did right in defending the unity
of the empire.
The prime minister, replying, said that
the local government bill had solved the
difficult problem of how to govern London
without doing injury TO valuable privileges
of the country. The bill decreased the
national debt and increased the national
credit. Regarding Ireland, Lord Salisbury
SAID that the great curse of that country
was poverty. The government was able
to do little to diminish poverty
or to enrich men, but it could en-
able men without interference TO
enrich themselves. He claimed
that the Irish government had been sue
cessful in lessening the tyranny exercised
by associations over the Irish people. and
that 1t had increased the sanciity of con-
tracts. If the government of Ireland We're
administered for few years with the same
judgement and frmness as now, liberty

circulated. He tells his friends that he
never enjoyed better health and scouts all
suggestions that the labors of the cam
paign are proving overburdensome TO him.
1t is apparent now 10 his friends and to
his family that his slight illness OF four
weeks ago was not attributable to physical
exhaustion, as some supposed, for since
that time General Harrison has shaken
hands with more people than he bad pre-
yIousiy and the weather has been more op-
pressiye Yet from the day Of his conva-
lescence, be has gained steadily, notwith-
standing these labors. His friends now
call to mind that in his college days the
general was a considerable of an athlete
and those OF them who had some appre-
tensions regarding his health a month
ago, are now of different opinion. Gen

QUITE A NEAT POINT.
Justice Harlan Decide What Constitutes a
Legal DecOy Letter,

WASHINGTON, DC, Aug. 9.-The case
recently decided by Mr.. Justice Harlan at
Baltimore, arising under the postal laws,
is exciting much interest, and today the
decision, an oral one, was written out
by the justice. The main points are as
follows: - sst
Certain inspectors caused a postal officer
to put decoy letter containing money
and which the addressed to an actual resi-
dent of Baltimore, to be put with the let
tiers usually put on the dumping table in
the post Office in that city, having pre-
viously arranged with the postmaster that
the letter If it passed the backing
and cancelllng tables and reached the
carriers room or division, should not be
delivered to the carriers for delivery to the
person addressed, but to the inspectors
] his letter never reached the carriers di-
vision and 1t was charged TO have been
taken by the accused while working at the
backing table. He was indicted under the
first clause of section 5,46+ for secreting,
embezZllng and destroying this decoy
letter which, il was alleged, was intended
TO be conveyed by mail He was also in
dlcted under the second clause of the same
section for stealing the money out of the
letter. On the last Indictment he was ac-
quilted and convicted on the first. Mr.
Justice Harlan while SAYING that decoy
letters could be legally and properly used
to detect postal thieves, held that a letter
which the inspectors and postmaster had
deliberately contrived should not be deliy-

or to the latter's agent, was not within the

question was close one, but his better

WHAT ARTHUR SAYS
The Present Meeting Called to Confer on
the % Strike.

ST. LOUIS. Aug. "a secret meeting of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
began here today. Chief Arthur said in
regard to it: 1.-THE object of the meeting
now being held in ST. Louis can be stated
clearly in a very few words. These who
are present are here by invitation for a
conference to ascertain if they have any
thing to offer in solution of the Burlington
strike or 10 the interest of the brotherhood
gene4ally."
1.-The convention has not been called for
the purpose of farming a combination be-
tween the engineers, fremen and switch
menu
No, there is no truth in that rumor."
Nv hat IS the present status of the
Burlington striker"
"The strike is still on and no proposition
for compromise is now being considered.
The Burlington did offer a compromise
but the brotherhood rejected it unani-
mously. There will be no compromise
save upon the bass of So 80 and 81 per day
and the reinstating of all the old en-
gineers."
at has been stated that you were oppos-
to sanctioning the Burlington strike"
That is untrue. | informed General
Manager Stone that l would sanction the
strike when | left him in. the middle OF
our conference, owing to his unreasonable
and unparalleled stand and l did so. 1t is
the first strike we had in eleven years and
differences with twelve railroad companies
have been settled during that time Gen
eral Manager Stone. of the Burlington,
was the first general manager l ever met
whom the brotherhood could not effect a
settlement with. We have ample funds
and are not worrying"
'How about the acts of violence? Do
You condemn them."
Most emphatieally, but l also condemn
the Pinkerton methods of driving men
into overt acts. Further, l do not admit
that any of our men are guilty, nor will
until they are so proven. One OF the prin-
ciples OF our order is to uphold law and en-
courage society and good citizenship"
'Do you expect TO accomplish anything
with reference to the Burlington strike at
the present meeting?"
II can not say. 1t is not improbable,
however that we will"
