CHICAGO, July 31.-An the ballet girls in
the West will soon be under the control of
a wealthy English syndicate, which has
headquarters and resident partners in Chi

Lord Salisbury Says 1t Is Always "Peace,
with Honor"-The War Cloud.
LONDON, July 31.-Lord Salisbury, speak
ing at the annual ministerial banquet at
the Mansion House, this evening. said that
England's aim in foreign affairs was always
'peace, with honor" Thunder clouds of
war still overcast Europe. Concerning the
immediate danger of a conflict, he regarded
the vast preparations that had been made
as great security for peace. The issues
involved in war would be so frlghtful that
nations shrank from challenging one anoth-
er. The Egyptian war did not menace the
permanent prosperity of that country. The
disorder on the frontier would be sup
pressed. England had entered into en-
gagements not to abandon Egypt until the
latter was capable of maintaining her own
government in the face Of foes, and those
engagements England would assuredly
fulfill.
Referring to Crete. he did not consider
that there was any need TO fear that the
pres ent movem ent would lead to an
European disturbance. He repudiated the
remotest desire of seeing England IN pos
session of Crete. The reports current to
that effect throughout the continent were
without foundation.

the result of the governments action was
the bringing of order and prosperity
throughout the country, and that If eyer
any section of the peasantry believed that
tn cir interests lay rather in defying than
in obeying the law, that illusion was
rapidly disappearing.
Mr.. Chamberlain, IN O speech at Green

party had become the leading section of

making important constitutional changes.

sword was at the service of the strongest
faction. The close of the fourth resolution of
Parliament saw the HOme-rulers disunited
and beyond the control of their leaders,
while the government party were stronger
than ever within and without Parliament.
He attacked the new Radicals destruc-
tive. but not constructive, politicians. He
said they had not proposed single meas
ure that was calculated to add to the happi-
ness of the people, and If the whole OF their
programme was carried out tomorrow no
one would be the better for it.
