LONDON, July 24.-Certain influential
Conservatives, in constant communica-
ton with the electoral headquarters,
arc pressing Lord Salisbury to remodel
the cabinet and to dissolve Parliament
at once. They plead the strength of
the Gladstonian reaction is growing
constantly, and that another
years delay will probably result
in an overwhelming Liberal ma
iority. These tactical reasons
though supported by the opinion Of the
officials OF the electoral executive, have
not shaken Lord Salisbury and Mr.
Balfour in their resolve to face another
session. The period for the reConstruc-
ton Of the cabinet depends upon Mr..
Smiths health. He has been i'll enough
to render it improbable that he will
ever reappear as u minister. Unless he
improves he will withraw from public
life wholly on taking the peerage.
The Duke of Rutland, who has long
been an invalid will also retire. Mr..
Matthews, the home secretary, will get
Judgeship. A new cabinet with Mr..
Chamberlain, Sir j. L. Gorst, and Mr..
Harrington us members. who will add a
further liberal clement TO government
legislation, must have time to settle
into working cohesion before risking
dissolution Of Parliament.
pARNELL's FAILURE.
No more striking proof Of the utter
loss of Mr.. Parpell's strength could be
given than in the character OF the dele
gates surrounding him at yesterdays
convention at Dublin. 1t was n meet
ing for which careful preparations had
been making for a long time, yet hardly
any man OF local or general prominence
could be got to attend. The Times,
which has hitherto predicted Parnclls
ultimate success, says that yesterdays
convention proves the impotence OF the
Parnellites and shows that the tenants
OF the settled districts are no longer
with him.
RETURN TO cANNIBALIsM.
Advices just received from Stanley
Falls, in the Congo Free State, tell of
cannibalism among natives aud Of an
armed expedition against them. Ma
tives along the Lomani river, who had
blocked the stream with hundreds of
armed canoes, killed and ate fifty
natives friendly to Europeans.
An expedition, composed OF ten
Europeans and fifty Arabs soon after
left Stanley Falls to punish the canni-
balls and after days battle succeeded
in routing them and occupying their
villages. Hundreds of the rebellious
natives were killed and wounded. The
same advices also state that the
Bakumas around Stanley Falls are re-
turning to cannibalism and that several
of them have been courtmartialed and
executed.

A Surprise Party.

Mrs. Judge Thornbury was the recip-
lent of a very pleasant party last Satur
day afternoon.
1t being her birthday her friends took
it upon themselves to give her surprise
and to say they were successful does not
express it. She was conveniently invit-
ed out for an hour or two,in the middle
of the day and her friends embraced the
opportunity to step in and prepare the
rooms. The decorations were ferns and
flowers. When the proper time arrived
for her return a messenger was sent re-
questing her presence at home immedi-
ately. She came, and saw, and was sur
prised. The ladies then arranged them
selves at the different tables and the
afternoon was spent in playing Drive
whist; of course as it was party of
ladies there was Uery limited amount
of conversation, At four, o'clock very
pretty pink lunch was served sthe favors
were hand-painted with pink ribbon
decoration. At six o'clock the score
cards were full and the counting and
comparing revealed the fact that Mrs.
Chas. Hilton was entitled to the first
prize, tete-e-tete sugar bowland cream
er. Mrs. DR.. Hollister gracefully ac-
cepted the BOBBY prize, a crocheted
Harlequin. TheTladies as they sdispens-
ed declared the party a decided SUCCESS
! and the bond of sympathy existing be-
tween women Con certain subjects) is
remarkable, not one lady asked Mrs.
Thornbury her age. Invitations were
extended to the following.

J, 300 gross tons. At the same date there
were 81 steam vessels of from 1,500 to 1000
tons gross, and 46 steam vessels of from
1900 to 2,691 tons. Since then steamship
from Lake Michigan has carried cargo of
3, ,322 gross tons of ore. OF vessels in 1890
carrying from 1000 to 1,500 tons, there
were 102 steam and only 1S sailing craft.
OF all the sailing boats, fully 633 were Of
less than 200 tons gross, and 379 of less than
400 tons.
Thus it will be seen that steam is driving
the sailing vessels off the lakes. They are
too slow for the age. For instance, as the
iron mills of Pittsburg and vicinity en-
larged there was big expansion in the de-
mand for iron ore. Sailing vessels carrying
200 or 400 tons could not bring it to them
fast enough. They carried too little, and
were too liable to delay and loss from
storms on the lakes Something larger and
stauncher was required.
THE FIRST SCREW PROPELLER
At the same time new and vast deposits
of ore were being laid bare, but from great
distance from the manufacturing center of
the country. To cover distance quickly,
speed became as necessary requisite to fill
the needs of iron manufacturers as did
plenty of room in ships hold. Sails were
not only to slow, but steam itself was faulty
in the way it used to be applied. Thomas
Fitzpatrick, of Cleveland, an ex-Ins pector

of steamboats,, we'll remembers the first
screw steamer placed on the lakes. Her
name, he says, was the Vandalia, and her
machinery was built in Auburn Peniten-
tiary, New York.
1--WE decided when we passed that boat
in the Detroit river that she would eat up
all her profit in fuel" says Fitzpatrick
In 1871, when triple-expansion engines
were unknown, the docks supplying Pitts
burg furnaces were hosting ore out of ves-
sells in tubs holding no more than 800
pounds And now, that the triple-expan-
sion engines, and double screws, and all the
best features of fast navigation have come,
the tubs used at the Fairport docks to un-
load vessels of iron ore have to be made
large enough to hold ton each, in order
to keep pace with the arrival of ore.
SAILING VESSELS IN TOW.
Perhaps the saddest demonstration saw
on the lakes of the decline of sailing craft,
was the sight of a steamship having in tow
anywhere from two to five schooners. The
carrying trade of the lakes has drifted into
big hands, and the owners of sailing ships,
in order to retain remnant of it, have
found that they cannot rely on wind alone.
They hire the assistance of a steamship to
pull them either q part or the whole dis
tance of their voyage. 1t is the only way
As an example of how sailing masters
lose money in this way, the case of a
schooner is cited which, during the season
OF 1889, carried coal up the lakes and re-
turned with iron ore from Lake Superior
ports. She made ten round trips, earning
$18 931 gross and s., ,925 net. She paid more
than 81, 900 for being towed, or co. 10 per
cent of her whole expense There is profit
able scale of prices observed by all steam
ships for towing sailing vessels, and almost
any of them will accept line of "consorts"
out on the lakes, while in tho rivers steam
tugs, such as is shown in the accompanying
photograph, make business of towing.
THE OLDEST AND NEWEST STYLES.
Other photographs accompanying this ar
ticle give an idea of the evolution of the
steamer with great arched timbers passing
over her decks from fore to aft, and her
cabins located amidships. Only few of
these steamers are left. The policy in build
ing steamers now is to put all the stitfening
in the sides of the boat, and clear the main
deck Of cabins and all buildings, so as to
have the more room for freight.
A "whaleback'' is shown also. The one
photographed was returning up the lakes at
the time, but the depth in the water at
which she swims in the rear portion, where
her engines are located, gives an ldea OF the
depth to which she sinks her entire length
when loaded. Steaming between Cleveland
and Toledo, unloaded, one of these peculiar
craft recently made 10 miles an hour. As
yet the "whalebacks" have not entered the
iron ore trade but more will be said of
them later on.
But to return to the steamship John

almost carried her to a lounge. It was not
