LONDON, Nov. AT the lord mayors
banquet at the Guild hall this evening Lord
Salisbury, in the course of an address,
commented upon the legislation of the past
session which, he said was satisfactory to
the government and acceptable to the
people. Regarding Ireland, he said the
work of Balfour, chief secretary, has done
in that country in the last four yesrs was
the best ever done. Continuing, his lord
ship said: what we have recently seen
in Ireland has not altered our policy nor
has it made US think that a domestic
legislature in Ireland would be distin-
guished by peace or abstinence from
the use of black thorns or by freedom from
the curses Of ecclesiastical dominion. ~
TCries of 'hsar," hear"
AS to foreign affairs, the premier said
there was not single cloud upon the hori-
zon foreboding danger TO the peace which
prevails. Though with respect to mate
rial welfare, Lord Salisbury said he could
hold out the most promising anticipations so
far as industrial warfare is considered hav-
ing the weapon of protective legislation he
feared Great Britain would occupy for
time a peculiarly isolated position. The
recent elections in America had shown that
the slight reaction against protection had
lost its force. Cries of Heart" "Hearl"l
Referring to Egypt, he said it was En-
glands duty to remain there until the

AN IDAHO MURDER

PROMINENT CITIZENS INVOLVED
Part of the Dead Mans Clothing Found In
the Possession of B. Y. Hake-A Dung
Mexican Girl is Shot

BLACKFooT, Ida, Nov. S.-TSpecial tele-
gram &c THE HERALD. The people of
Bingham county are in the midst of SEN
sation that promises to eclipse anything
heretofore developed in the annals of
crime in southeastern Idaho. From the
meagre facts ootainable at this time, it APP
pears that a cowboy of the name Of John
Andrews, better known as Dutch John, ="
was murdered about month sgo by cow
bow known as Tex" The body was Sc
creted and nothing known Of the murder
by the authorities until few days ago. A
dance was IN progress about twenty-five
or thirty miles northeast of Idaho
Falls, at which, man named
Williams ana Deputy Walter Green were
present. 1t seems that Williams becoming
somewhat intoxicated said that he knew
something about Dutch john being muir
dered and where his body could be found.
Deputy Green took his cue from this and
forming posse went in search OF the body
of dutch john finding il as indicated by
Williams The body was badly decomposed
and almost unrecognlzable. Further III
vestigation developed the fact that part of
the clothing had been in the possession of
y. +. Hake, a merchant at the town OF
1ewisville and prominent cattleman.
The impression now is that Hake
procured the killing of Dutch john in
order to get him out Of the way as wit
ness il a suit brought against Hake by w.
Z. Meliick, another prominent cattleman of
Bingham county. The fact that Hake and
several others knew of the murder for a
number Of days without reporting it to the
authorities gives the matter bad aspect,
80 far as they are concerned. Hake and
his nephew, Reed Hake, are under arrest.
Their preliminary examination is to be
held Tuesday morning before Judge Ste
vens. Some developments are expected,
and il is said quite a number OF prominent
citizens are likely to be implicated.

The Monument to Gambetta Unveiled

PARIS, Nov. 9.-Yesterday there was in

respondent that many subscriptions came
from New York, Chicago and San Fran
cisco, and l am happy to be able TO tell the
subscribers that their money has been well
used. The monument is situated in the
garden of the house where the great orator
died-the house formerly occupied by Bal
FAC, the great novelist, doubly precious
therefore, to Frenchmen.
Before the Inauguration of the statue a
terribly moving ceremony took place. In
the little vault at the foot of the monument
the heart of Gambetta was deposited,
around the monument were friends and ad
mirers and men who do not forget the past
while thinking Of the future. 1t need as
tonish no one to be told that profound
emotion was felt among the throng of spec
tators. The ceremony itself was very sim
pie, no soldiers, no official pomp. The
wreaths bearing titles "Alsace'' and
Lorraine" were greeted with great enthu-
siasm. There were two addresses made,
both very peaceable in tone, that of the
minister of instruction, M. Bourgeois, es-
pecially being very moderate.

New YORK, Nov. "a Herald Valpar-
also special says: "In his speech Friday
night to the young men in the plaza at San
tiago, Admiral Montt said, in regard to
the charge that the United States legation
sheltered refugees who were still engaged
in plotting mischief, he knew positively
that Minister Egan had interdicted the
sending out of letters by refugees unless
the letters were subject to inspection. If
any such messages had left. the legation,
Admiral Mont added, he was sure it was
without the knowledge of Minister Egan,
and that if the matter had been brought
before Mr.. Egan he would have caused the
expulsion of the offender from the asylum.
Months remarks are the strongest sort
of evidence that he desires to protect the
legation, and this belief is strengthened by
the presence of a squadron of cavalry in
the vicinity of the legation during the time
that the meeting on the plaza was going on.

GAMBETTA'S HEART.
nj. Paul Bert Presents it to the
Monument Committee.
The Incident Was Intensely French and Ora
matic-lhe Monument Unveiled Amid I'm
pressiYe Ceremonies-Pacific Speeches.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Cablel
PARIS, Nov S.-Friday witnessed one of
those intensely French incidents, pictur-
esque and sensational, and the precursor of
another incident to take place to-day.
Friday afternoon, in answer to confiden-
tial invitations circulated quietly, one hun
dred gentlemen assembled at the rooms of
a well known public man. and there with
suitable monies, speeches and other
accessories of such an occasion, M. Paul
Bert handed over to committee appointed
for the purpose of receiving it, a wooden
casket containing the heart of Gambetta.
which NJ. Bert, as the most sincere friend
of the deceased statesman, has preserved
carefully in spirits since it was removed
from the dead body of the premier. Friday
the president, the secretary and general
committee having in charge the construc-
ton of the great monument designed by
Bartholdi to perpetuate the memory of
Gambett took formal possession of the
heart and pledged themselves to place it in
the crypt of the monument which has Just
been completed. In accepting the trust
the speakers dwelt upon the patriotism of
Alsace- Lorraine, for the casket that en-
closes the precious relic is made partly of
wood from Alsace and partly of wood from
Lorraine; a delicate compliment to the pat
riots OF that province, whose contributions
have paid for this monument.

Opening of Chicago's Opera Season.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-None of the many
brilliant assemblages which have HERETOFORE
filed the Auditorium surpassed in magnif-
cence that gathered tonight to witness the
opening of the grand opera season. 1t was
to be the first appearance in America of
several celebrated European artists and
also the initial work of Theodore Thomas
much talked of new Chicago orchestra.
The result was such an outpouring of fash
ionable people, Notwithstanding the bus
tering night and drenching rain, that
the great house was filled. In the
company, which was under the direction
of Henry Abbey and Maurice Grau, pro-
duced "Lohengrin'' in Italian and in
manner which left little room for oriti-
cism. The famous tenor, Jean de Reszke,
Madame Emma Eames, Madame Rayoglia
and Edourd de Reszke, the remarkable
baritone, were received with much favor.
The chorus work was disappointing to
some extent. but this defect was neutral
lied by the richness and historic fidelity of
costumes and beauty of the scenic effects.
