IRISH HOME RULE.
BalfOur Outlines Hts Ideas of Local
Government for Ireland.

BalfOur Outlines Hts Ideas of Local
Government for Ireland.
LONDON, August 11.-Balfour, chief
secretary for Ireland, in a speech de-
livered at Plymouth yesterday outlined
his ideas of Irish local government. He
said he was aware that many members
of the Conservative party disliked the
proposal, but he argued that there were
two reasons why local government
should not be withheld from Ireland
First, a sentimental one, because it had
already been given to England and
Scotland; and, second, because local
government had been repeatedly prom
ised to Ireland.
Balfour said it would be madness to
allow councils to administer funds of
any class not represented in these
bodies. Such permission would convert
them into engines of tyranny and
oppression.
The police question: Balfour contin-
ued, caused alarm, but he would never
consent to the decentralization of the
force by handing over the local police
either to the councils Or to the councils
in association with the grand jury. He
further believed that there would be no
serious attempt by the counties to Sc
cure control of so costly force.
He was compelled to admit that he
feared the first result of the change
would be to oust the landlords from
their share in the government, even
though they are guarded by the coun-
ellis by some form of minority represen
tation. This was to be deplored, but
he trusted and believed that as the
political storm subsided and the ancient
rancor died, the gradual effect of the
land purchase measure would be felt.
These gentlemen, if they remained,
would be largely recognized and elected
as the best men to carry on the county
business and thus reconcile the classes,
which have been too much and too long
separated.
The Standard says Balfour's declara-
ton regarding the Irish police, removes
the gravest objection to the BILL but
there still remains great deal to justify
Irish loyalists' misgivings, and that it
will be desirable to introduce stringent
measures to guarantee the upright man.
agement of the finances.
The Times says his clear, vivid percep-
ton of the dangers of the scheme is the
best possible guarantee that Balfour is
fit to cope with and conquer them.
The News says: "We gather from Bal
four's vague remarks that there will be
no fancy franchises, and no artificial re-
strictions upon the choice OF electors.
However ingeniously framed, the bill
will enormously strengthen the demand
for home rule, and the crimes act is
more ridiculous farce than ever"
The Chronicle presumes that the in
tention is to make the Irish franchise
narrower than the English. The Chron-
icle emphatically opposes any such pol
icy. Ireland, it says, is entitled to alb
solute equality.

New YORK, August A1.-It was de-
cided at a meeting % the executive
committee of the National Association

FIGHTING BUGS.
The District Attorney and Imported In
fecteds Orange Trees.

The district attorney yesterday, on be-
half OF the people of the state of Califor-
MIA, filed complaint in civil suit
against Alvin Meserve and all of the
other Meserves who are implicated in
the bringing of the 1926, 900 infected or
ange trees to San Pedro from Tahiti.
The document states that the horticul-
tural commissioners have on two occa-
sions ordered the trees disinfected, and
that the defendants have gone through
the process of disinfecting them, but the
pests seem to thrive under the treat
ment. The complaint says further that
the trees are infected with an insect
hitherto unknown to California, which
bores under the bark of the trees and
cannot be exterminated by the ordinary
process. The commissioners also found,
it is stated, that the roots of the trees
were covered with 'borers," which are
fatal to California fruit trees.
AS relief, Mr.. McLachlan asks that
the trees be declared nuisance and
that an order issue condemning them to
be destroyed.

OTTAWA, Ont, August 11.-Sir Hec-
tor Langevin has resigned from the
ministry.
The Citizen, a government organ, said
editorially this morning: "Sir Hector
Langevin, minister uf public works, will
appear before the privileges and elec-
tions committee for the purpose of max
ing statement in connection with the
McGreevy inquiry. 1t is understood
that the honorable gentleman has tend
cred his resignation as minister OF the
crown, considering that it was his duty
to parliament, the government and the
committee. Sir Hector has been the
leader of the French Canadian Conser-
vatives for many years. He has been
honored by all classes. creeds and sec
tions. We look for his triumphant vim
dication ere the unpleasant proceedings
are terminated"
The announcement of his resignation
from the cabinet produced profound
sensation in all political circles, as it
was totally unexpected.
Sir Hector appeared before the COM
mittee on privileges and elections this
afternoon, and read long, carefully
prepared statement, in which he denied
emphatically all the charges preferred
against him, and asserted his entire
innocence.

The Change in His Programme Made
for Sinister Reasons.

for Sinister Reasons.
PARIS, August 11.-There is scarcely
any doubt that the non-arrival here
yesterday of Grand Duke Alexis was en-
tirely due t. his disinclination to be the
recipient Of the enthusiastic welcome
which the citizens of Paris had prepared
for him. The crowd learned that he
would not arrive yesterday, but they
did not learn when he would reach
Paris. and, consequently, when the train
in which he travelled came into the sta
ton this morning, no one was present,
officially or unofficially, to receive him.
AS he reached the platform, he was
recognized by crowd of at least a
thousand persons. The greeting they
gave the grand duke was enthusiastic,
he bowling and smiling at the warmness
OF his ecome, despite his attempt to
avoid it. He entered carriage and was
Immediately driven to hotel.
LONDON, August 1.-THE Times this
morning publishes dispatch from its
Paris correspondent confirming the re-
ports that the non-arrival of Grand Duke
Alexis in Paris yesterday at the time
designated was intentional. The dis.
patch adds that the reason for the
change in the dukes published pro.
gramme is that Russia wished 20 chow
Germany that she is still open to an
offer If Germany outbids France.

CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
IN THE CONDITION OF THE CHILEAN
CONGRESSIONAL PARTY.
Success in Store for Them in Their Ex-
pedition Southward-Santiago Advices
Tell of an Attack on the Esmeralda
by Balmaceda's Torpedo Boats.

CHICAGO, August 11.-An Iquique cor
respondent has been over the whole
Congressional field within the last few
days, and he is astonished at the great
change for the better which has taken
place in the condition of the insurgent
party. From all that he has seen and
heard, he is led to the confident belief
that in their expedition to the south the
Congressional forces will meet with sue
cess and prove victorious over the forces
of Balmaceda. Every indication points
that way. The army is admirably
drilled, and in some way or another he
seizure of the Itata notwithstanding,
has been armed fully. The insurgent
ranks are being swelled by large acces-
sions of volunteers from the mining dis
tricts of Antofagosta and Caldera. The
utmost unanimity prevails among the
leaders of the Congressional party.
Balmaceda's issue of notes for 1891 is
refused at all northern ports held by the
Junta.
lay in the case of the Itata. 1t is thought
settled and the Itata released.
Unless Balmaceda gets his two cruis-
ers soon, his foe, unless all appearances
are deceptive, will gain a substantial ad-
vantage over him. There is no doubt
that there are many unwilling soldiers
in the Balmacedan ranks-men forced
to serve against their will. Many of
them at heart are in sympathy with the
insurgent cause. 1t will not take much
to put them to fight.
LONDON, August IL. Gable dispatches
from Balmacedan source in Santiago
de Chile are received here denying re-
ports that fighting took place between
government troops and insurgent forces
at Valparaiso and Coquimbo on August
Sd. According to these dispatches, the
government torpedo boat Almirante
Condell attacked the Congressional
party's cruiser Esmeralda and a num-
ber OF transports at Caldera. A number
of torpedoes were discharged from the
Almirante Condell, but as the attack was
made at night, and as it was very dark,
the results are not known.
The dispatches further state that the
reports as to the relations between
Chile and Bolivia, growing out of the
latter's recognition of the insurgents as
belligerants, are untrue, and that the
stories of cruel punishments inflicted by
the government are pure inventions.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-08-12

Judge A. B. Norton, of Dallas, Texas
who has gained national reputation as
being the leading Republican of the
Lone Star state, is now in Los Angeles.
Judge Norton left Texas several months
ago on a pleasure trip, having come
over the Canadian Pacific road, and
visited all the important points of in
terest on the northern coast. He has a
remarkable record, as will be seen be-
low. He led the Republican state
ticket in Texas as their candidate for
governor on three occasions, when he
knew he was at the head of forlorn
hope, but his popularity placed him
far ahead OF all other Republican
candidates. He has held the
Office of United States marshal for the
northern district of Texas, and was also
postmaster of the city of Dallas for sew
eral terms. He was adjutant general of
| the state and member of the legisla-
ture for many sessions. He was a can
didate as congressman at large when
Roger @. Mills was his opponent, and al
hough udge Norton was only defeated by
| 10000 majority the balance of the Dem
ocratic state ticket was successful by an
average majority of 100000. At present
Judge Norton is the editor of the only
Republican paper in the state of Texas,
The Dallas Intelligencer, which has an
immense circulation throughout the
state. The Judge was bosom friend OF
Henry Clay, and was one of the Clay
electors from the state OF Ohio, and he
now carries a superb and odd cane pre-
sented to him by Henry Clay in 1874.
Judge Norton made a VOW that he
wovld never shave his beard or cut his
hair until Henry Clay became president
of the United States, which promise he
has faithfully kept ever since. A long
growth of sprinkled gray hair reaches to
the judges shoulders at the present
time, and razor has not touched his
face for nearly fifty years.
Although the judge is advanced in
years, he is still active as a man half
his age. To HERALD reporter yesterday
he spoke of few of his many reminis-
cences ,and among other things he said to
the scribe II feel as young as 1 did
when was twenty"
The judge is accompanied by Mrs.
Norton.
In the party are two gentlemen who
are widely known, one Of whom is the
Honorable Joseph B. Gill, the editor of
the Murphysborough, II 8, Independent,
and member of the late Illinois legis-
lature. Mr.. Gill was one Of the 101 that
voted for Hon. John M. Palmer for
United States senator, and is a sterling
Democrat, the other gentleman of the
party is w. M. Goudy, editor of the
Fairfield, Ills., Press. Although these
well-known personages have been in
Los Angeles for only two days, they ex-
press themselves as being surprised at
this section of the universe, and admire
the Angel city more than any other
point thus far visited. The judge and
party were shown over the city yester-
day by several friends, and were sur
prised at the magnificent buildings and
splendid streets of the Angel city. This
is their first trip to Southern California.
They are sojourning at the Hoffman
house while in the city, where the
Judge invites his friends to call and see
