taste and the evidences on every side OF
bountiful liberality, for it was as good as
a sermon to see these valuable donations,
representing charity and generosity. The
ladies were by no means persuasive.
They were really genial hostesses and en-
tertained all comerS with cha ming grace, so
that it was delightful experience to pass
while in the gardens of Mrs. James O'Brien's
booth, or be received by the young ladies in
st. Joseph's. st. Anthony's, st. Aloysius',
Mrs. j. j. O'Brien's, Mrs. DllOn's and Mrs.
Tobin's booths, or the tea garden, or the
refreshment booths of the Young Ladies
Sodality in connection with st. Mary's
Cathedral.
The costumes of many of the ladies were
generally admired, while the coterie OF
pretty girls in Mrs. James o. Brien's floral
pavilion and gardens wore elegant demi-
toilets of light colors and artistically fash
ioned.
1t was about thirty minutes past o'clock
when his Grace Archbishop Rlordan ar
rived He was accompanied by Rev. George
Montgomery, his Chancellor, and paid visits
to every booth. The occasion was one OF
congratulations. The Archbishop returned
his thanks personally to the good ladies as
he passed around the hall. and in turn re-
ceived the respects and welcomes of every
one with whom he spoke. With Fathers

THE LONDON PRESS.
Balfour's Speech and General Booths Scheme
Cause Much Comment.

Cause Much Comment.
LONDON, Oct. 2O.-The London press is
greatly exercised over Balfour's speech
at Newcastle in answer to John
Morley. The Globe says: "If straight.
plain speech has any weight, John Morley's
political reputation is lost absolutely and
utterly, without the semblance Of a chance
for its recovery. i more mastery expos
ure of inconsistency, feeble recklessness
and systematic calumny was never made"
Another discussion Is General Booths
In Darkest England and the Way
Out" which appeared to-day. The
work contains 800 pages, in which
he proposes TO found city colony for the
hungry and whoever of the metropolis who
VIII be given work In the labor yards and
factories, chopping food, making mats, sew
ing sacks, etc
The second feature is farm colony.
There will be secOud hand clothes and boot
establishments, employing an army OF
tailurs and cobblers. Each man will
build his own house or Shanty
and no public house will be per-
miIJed. Finally General Booth proposes
to found a foreign colony to be recruited
from the other two. The papers discuss the
project at length. The Times Is enthusiastic.
The Daily News says there is something
captivating in the grandeur and cOmplcte-
less Of the scheme. 1t is al intellectual effect.
1t is like the day dream Of the philRnthrOplSt
revised by practical man. The Daily Tel
euraph says: Waste labor to waste lands"
i General Booths watchword. 1t all reads
like NJ ores Utopia, but the Generals firm
faith in the possibility of his scheme carries
the reader away.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-A curious assault was
made tonight upon a ex-gambier named j.
B. Quinn. Two men held him up in dark
spot on Lake street, on the edge of Union
Park, compelled him to strip to the waists
poured a bucket of liquid tar over the upper
portion of his body and then added some
feathers by the way of adornment. His
aSsailanis then knocked him down and
kicked him repeatedly, rendering him I'M
conscious. He was found by some
people strolling through the park and
the police notified, but there is no
trace of the assaiants. Quinn has
been posing as reformed gambler"
writing book on gamblers methods, and
is supposed to have incurred the enmity of
the fraternity, although prominent sporting
men scout the idea that any such motive
provoked the attack.

40 Ulcers and men belonging TO the British

distinguished some distance, and the fleet

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-When the adver-
tise ments for proposals for building the ram,
torpedo-boat and torpedo-cruiser were issued
Saturday, it marked the completion by the
Navy Department of all the work of new
construc ION which it had been authorized
to undertake, with two exceptions. These
are the submarine monitor and a duplicate of
the Vesuvius, which it is unlikely will be
constructed on the lines originally laid down.
Congress at the last session made provision
for SIX new vessels-most of them of heavier
type and more completed construction than
any heretofore undertaken to be built-and
the naval authorities are felicitating them
selves upon the fact that they have, within
three weeks after adjournment, been able to
complete all OF the designs issue proposals,
and in several cases award contracts for the
construction of these vessels. In addition to
this record of quick designing, the Construc-
tiOn Bureau was charged during the year
with the preparation of plans for five vessels
as authorized to be built by the preceding
Congress.

New YORK, Oct 2O.-The Investigating
Committee Of the State Senate today looked
up the subject of taxation in this city. Presi-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The State De-

of the debates which have recently taken
place in the Chamber of Commerce at Ha-
yana, which have reference to the McKin-
ley bill and the question Of reciprocity. 4
statement, which has been transmitted TO
the Spanish Minister of Colonies, was ac-
companied by letter from the President
of the chamber, which shows the existence
of a strong sentiment favorable to reciprocal
relations with the United States. The
statement was sent TO the Minister in re-
sponse to message from him asking for
suggestions as to any modification desired in
the Cuban tariff. The writer says in part
1.-The Cuban tariff proposed by Spain must
be preceded by the repeal of the act of
1882, because that act creates insuperabe
obstacles to the development of the foreign
commerce of Cuba, which is indispensable
to the cultivation of its products. 1t is the
opinion of all Cubans," the writer says.

is the nation whose ports lie at its very
door"

heavy duties upon the manufactured goods
of Europe they favor the development of
their own industries, compel the well-to-do
