CHCRCHILL,S COMMENTS.
Debate I'm the English Parifa.
ment 0n Military Matters.


LONDON, March S.-The debate on
the motion of Sir Walter B. Bartlett,
Conservative, for the appointment of
local Commission to ascertain and
report upon the military measures
necessary for the protection of the
Empire, was resumed in the Com
mons tonight by Lord Churchill.
He commenced his speech by remind
ing the House that no less than 1873
members were connected with the
Army and Navy Service, and that the
debate had disclosed their absolute
unanimity on one point, namely
that Notwithstanding the immense
increase in the expenditures, the mill
tary position of England was deplora.
bly, bad. The remedy of those mem
bers was the expenditure of more
money, but his remedy was reform in
expenditure. Enough had already been
paid to maintain both services in a
state of splendid efficiency, but the
English system was without a paral-
lei in any other country, military men
who have been trained in the busi-
ness of arms being subordinate to
civilians who were utterly unframed.
1t would be just as reasonable
for the Premier to nominate Mr.. La
b. uchere, Archbishop of Canterbury,
or to make Mr.. Chaplin, Lord Chan
cellor. (Laughter.) Military training
seemed to disqualify man from man.
aging the War Office. That must be
altered. The financial control, after
the estimates are granted, ought to be
placed in the hands of responsible
officers. English officers were made
spending animals, instead of like the
German officers, rivalling one another
in ecouomy. Stores for q German
regiment could go to the front
on a twelve hours notice with
out prolonged letters from the War
Office. That could not be done in
England without piles OF folios pass
ing and repassing for several days.
The German corps d'armee was main
tanned upon e1 for 500 900, as against
e1 for 100000 in the English corps.
This monstrous waste extended to
every branch of the service. A rigid
and vigorous inquiry and radical re-
forms were imperatively necessary.
He could not vote confidence in the
existing system: it who hopelessly

sTANHoPE's REPLY.
Stanhope, Secretary of war, intima-
ted that the Government would sane
ton inquiry into any definite matter
connected with the estimates, but
would resist the appointment of a
royal commission of a vague and gen.
eral character. The motion for the
appointment of royal commission
was negatived.

OFF TO FRANCE.
Preparations for the Sulllvan-
Mitchell Contest.

LONDON, March S.-Mitchell, ac-
companied by Pony Moore, Barnett,
Holske and fourteen others, left Lon
don at O'Clock this morning for
France, where 1t is supposed that the
fight between Mitchell and Sullivan
will take place. Mitchell said before
leaving that he did not
know whether he would win,
but he was quite sure he would be
able to show that Sullivan was not
the fistic wonder that the Americans
thought. Jem Smith missed the
train and will follow the party on a
later one. 1t is significant fact that
the two detectives who have been fol-
lowing Sullivan left Boulogne yester-
day evening for the place where the
fighters and the friends are expected
to meet.

THE SUGAR TRUST.
Investigation Commenced By the
House COMMITTEES.

House Committee.
WASHINGTON, March S.-Tho House
Committee on Manufactures to-day
began an investigation Of the trusts.
The sugar trust was the one selected
to be the first investigated. Chairman

been subpen@d, and answers Of
"present" we're made by Messrs.
Theodore Havemeyer, Henry 0. Have
meyer, Geo. H. Moller, U. N. Camp
and John E. Parsons. The name of
VIM. H. Morris was called, but he
was not present, and the Chairman
asked that reporters note the fact.
John E. Parsons said that he was .
lawyer of New York City, and had
drawn up the deed of trust forming
what was known as the Sugar Refiners
Company. He had a true copy of the
instrument, save that there was
omitted from the copy the amount of
small capital issued and held by tho
various members of the trust. It waa
held this private information was not
necessary for the purpose of legisla-
ton. The instrument having been
read by the committee clerk, Par
sons stated that the instrument
was practically executed on October
l, 1887, though certain OF the sigma
lures were not affixed until some
months later. He explained in
answer to questions that the various
firms interested in the deed were first
required to become corporations, if
they were not already such, before
signing the paper, and gave detailed
information about each participant.
He stated that the firms turned over
to the trustees the stock OF each firm
respectively and in lieu thereof the
trustees gave each firm certain
amount of the stock of the combined
firm.

A CARDINAL FOR THE HUB

Bishop MacMahon, of Hartford, to be
Coadiutor-A New Archbishopric to
be Created Out of the Archdiocese
of Milwaukee -Irish-German Jeal-
ousy to be Ignored.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 25.-The special cores
pondent of the Baltimore sun at Rome
writes that number of important changes
in connection with the government of the
Catholic church in the United States are
contemplated. Though nothing has been
formulated yet, it is agreed upon in ecclesi-
astical circles that Archbishop Williams, of
Boston, will be made Cardinal at the con-
sistory in March. The other changes fore
shadowed by the S1ul correspondent are
that Bishop MacMahon, of Hartford, Conn,
will be the new Cardinals coadiutor,
and Rev. Dr. Byrne, of Boston, will sue
ceed Bishop MacMahon; Rev. DIR. Chapelle,
of Washington, will probably be promoted
to the vacant Archbishopric of New Or
leans; that new Archbishopric will be
created out of the Archdiocese Of Milwau
kee, anCeSBishop Ireland will become tho
new Archbishop, and that DR.. O'Counell,

IRISH AND GERMAN JEALoUsIEs.
A member Of the papal household, and
one eminently qualified to speak, told the
Sun correspondent that Pope Leo would not
take the slightest notice Of an attempt to
provoke jealousies between the Irish and
German Catholics in the United States
Strange stories, to speak of them in the
mildest style, have crept into Rome regard
ing the alleged complaints at the predom-
nance of Irish prelateS in the American
hierarchy. The Pope has said that in
making promotions in that direction he
will not recognize, even if accompanied by
the strongest of recommendations, any
claims for appointment based on national
preferences. He is determined not to give
ear to either side, should the issue ever
come, for he holds that no citizen is Irish
or German solely and distinctly in the
United States, but an American, and as
such, mentally and spiritually qualified for
the position in question, will he only CON
slider the cases of those who are named as
fitting persons to be promoted.

PORT AU PRINCE, HAYTI, Jan. 10.--The
Ldrey1te, a newspaper of this city, of Jan
Q, devotes column and a half to discussing
the policy of M. Fouchard, Minister of
Finance. The article states that on Oct.
last the Mexican dollar, then legal tender at
81, was demonetized and reduced in value
TO Soc, causing an enormous loss, owing to
the large quantities of that coin
in the republic. The action of the govern
ment caused great deal of irritation, as no
notice had been given. Next came the de
cree of Dec. 2S last, again reducing it in
value to 6Oc. This time, however, a great
outcry arose, and nothing but the arming
of the police kept the people from revolving
against the new injustice. So great and
persistent was the discomfort that the gov
ernment compromised by allowing
the Mexican dollar to pass at zoe.
Many persons well versed in tie affairs of
the black republic thought the action of
the government IN this case would prove
the last straw in the load that the long suf-
fering masses have been forced to bear.
The increase in the number Of guards at
this point and the dispatch of messengers
to the Northern province would indicate
that the government is not free from appre-

ENGLAND's DEFENsEs.
Competent Critics Declare Them In
adequate.


LONDON, Jan. 25.-Baron Brassey deliv
cred lecture before the Chamber of Com
merce to. day on the inadequate defenses Of
the coaling stations When he had finished
the Duke of Cambridge indorsed his views
and said that the existence of the empire
depended upon its power to keep commerce
free from alarm. He was unable to under
stand why the commercial community
could not see that preparation for contln-
gencies was the truest economy. Formerly
there was time to prepare, but
now the warming came one day and
action the next. The country was not pre-
pared for an emergency 1t was positively
endangered and courted insult.
Lord Charles Beresford explained that he
resigned the Office of Junior Lord of the
Admiralty because the interests of the mill
tary and naval services had been subordi-
mated TO political exigencies. His statement
was greeted with enthusiastic applause.
Lord Beresford said the reason
for his leaving the government had
nothing to do with the general
policy of the Conservative party. 1t was n
question regarding the defenses of country.
Anybody who knew anything regarding
the British Notifications concurred with
him in the opinion that they were made
quate. 1t was better, he declared, to have
no guns in their forts than to have those of
ancient pattern.
