PARLIAMENT.
The Position OF England for Defence
Considered.

LONDON, May IL.
In the House of Lords today Viscount
Harding asked what truth there was in the
reports that England was in a defeLceless
condition.
The Duke of Cambridge, commander Of
the forces, denied that the country was in
imminent danger He said the government
was fully alive to the importance of reform
ing and strengthening the defensive forces
and we're considering the means by which
this should be done.
Lord Salisbury protested against the pre-
vailing impression that because the govern
ment didn't make snowy speeches, vigilance
slept. Nothing would be more insane than
to explain to the world England's strength
and the nature of the precautions she was
taking. There has been considerable in
crease in her preparations within recent
yea $. A pa 1icky tone was pervading the
language used by military authorities outside
The House, but was not shared by the govern
ment who were fully conscious that any dis
regard of the national defences, in the pres
ent state of the world, would b. a very grave
.lerelction of duty. (Cheers) He COM
planned that high military authorities were
making statements against the government,
! at public banquets. where they could not be
answered. Gen Lord wolscley recently
d,clared that tie reason the army and navy
we're not as strong as they ought to be, was
because of the system of government by
party which was the curse Of England and
which was depriving English statesmen of
manly honesty. Wol.eley ought to have
made this statement in the House where he
CO ID have been answered.
In the House of Commons, Lord George
Hamilton, first lord of the admiralty, in an
sweT to questions. stated that the Russian
feet in the Pacific was not equal. either in
numbers or strength, to the British forces
on the Chinese station alone.
How Salisbury's Speech was Received.
Salisbury's speech has caused sensation
in political and military circles. and the attack
upon Wolseley was wholly unexpected. The
general opinion is that Wolseley will resign
after replying. The liberals are inclined to
support Wolseleys position which is approved
by all military members Of commons.

bill. Dingley spoke in opposition to

rights to our vessels and also
for reciprocity. A protracted debate

of wild confusion followed, nearly all the

excitement by calling out in q voice broken
with emotion: II have worked thirty years

Reasons for Doubt Concerning 1t.

The st. Louis Delegates Express Good
Reasons for Doubt Concerning 1t.
ST. LOUIS, June 6.-The report OF the
! success of the Republican party in Oregon
at Mondays election hit the Democratic
delegates from that State with sort Of
mild CONSERVATION which had latterly
turned tn sskepticism. National .cpmmit;
teeman A.. Noitner was seen to-nfsh11 anu
EXPRESSED himself as disinclined to '.swal-
low the whole report" 1T is time" he
said, that the election was on tariff
platform. Before we came to the conven-
tion our party had undeniably placed Itself
with the administration. Lines were
strongly drawn. What puzzles me, though,
is the gain claimed west Of the mountains.
There is no wool interest there that ecare
about. Besides this, from reports, we ind
we have 16 out OF the 26 counties. Ii the
Republican majority is 1000 as stated,
the vote will exceed by 10000 that OF any
former election What we fear is that the
buving of votes in Multnomah county was
too strong for us. This is the county which
contains Portland, where we had the most
vote-purchasing to contend with. You see
there ia no register system, and there Is
nothing to prevent the Republican party
running In lot of fishermen and controlling
| their votes. We are not surprised at the
report having reached here in this shape
during the session of the convention"
Before you started to come to St.
| Louis YOU were confident Of success?"
| THAT'S it. There's where The difficulty
comes in. We were sure OF the legislature
and counted upon it. Still. we have hopes.
1t is impossible for all the returns to be IN:
There is no telegraph in some places, and
it takes from eight to nine days for stage
| to bring certain returns to the county seat.
| I know the counting can't possibly ne
through in Multnomah county, but L Will
| concede them d ma jority OF 2,OoO-not
more. The wealthy wool-growers are IN
sympathy with the administration ana
are good Democrats. Another thing Is this,
in Oregon there are no Mugwumps, as a man
| ia either a Democrat or a Republican.
There is no intermediate condition.
| Another matter which goes much against
ms this wear is the defective organization OF
the Democratic party. The best Democrats
have become disgusted and are not active,
as the wrong element controlled the last
State convention. On the other hand, the
Republicans are strongly welded together
and have three heavy bankers on then
tickets. 1 take sanguine outlook o1 thls
question for the reason that the hrst re
ports of an election are always on he
publican basis, as the strongholds OF this
marty are along the railroad and telegraph
Isystems, whereas the Democracy is ram
pant in those sections which are at a dis
tance from these modern convenlences.

pear round earned another round OF ap.
plause. Then delegate from the North
west who WIS seated in the back
part of the hall essayed to cut short
a glowing description of the coast by calling
| "time." The audience was divided and calls
rent the air of 'tgo on and Of ''sit down.
"rell us more" The poet OF the Pacific
delegation stood on the platform vainly
striving to make himsel; heard. The chair
man eventually quieted the noisy delega'
tions and Mr.. Dorsey requested the prlvl-
lege of telling one more story but his voice
was drowned by cheers. The good humor
of the speaker obtained him hearing and
he closed with remarkable peroration al
leging in his fowery metaphor that a
thousand quartz mills would pound their
ponderous pleasure next November when
wires would flash the news from every vii
lage and hamlet of the Coast that Cleve-
land and Thurman had proven a popular
choice. Mr.. Dorsey would have held forth
much longer but he paused with hls right
arm uplifted as the convention manifested
it's impatience and as he could not regain a
hearing reluctantly retired.
Albert Fl. Gray of Georgia, and E. T..
Steele of Kentucky, also seconded the
nomination OF Governor Gray.
Dryden OF Missouri made an eloquent
speech seconding the nomination OF Thur
man, which tied good deal OF enthu-
siasm. He said he represented a
divided delegation but. the country de-
mande1 the nomination of the grand old
leader who had fought the battles OF the
party when she most needed warriors OF
courage and convictions. He has ever
struck winning blows for the party and he
is ready now to sacrifice his rest and ease
well earned by a noble life to respond to his
party calls. And we need this talismanic
power OF his name and should nominate
him.
Dorsey, OF Nevada, voiced the sentiments
of the Democracy OF Nevada in endorsing
the ticket of Cleveland and Thurman. The
mountains IF Nevada would fairly rattle
with Joy when the news OF Thurman's NOM
ination was flashed across the wires. APP
plause.
Raines, OF New York was greeted with
cheers when he took the stand to make
known the position oi his state delegation.
New York, he said, had withdrawn herself
from this movement until the deliberations
of this body in the seleftion OF a candidate
for Vice President, but e time had arrived
for her voice to be hea in unison with the
claim OF her fellow.delega: es from Maine to
the capes of the western sea in behalf of him
who is the Plato of the republic. The battle
line OF the coming conflict extended across
the continent. The forces of the Democracy
would reach across the continent, and over
the reserve corps would wave the flag of
A.tI.u hartman. Applause.
