General.

LONDON, July 24.-The Liberal vic
tory in the Wisbech division Is sur
prise to both sides. The Gladstone can
didate was opposed by p werful local
trade interests, and it was hardly calcu-
lated that he would do any more than
reduce the Conservative majority to
such minimum as would justify re-
contest at the coming election. Amongst
the elements of the Conservative
strength were the publican and brewer
Interests, long dominant in the constit-
uency. These were thrown in their
full strength against the Gladstonite.
whose victory is therefore all the more
significant. But neither this nor the
results of any of the bye cleo
tions will alter the determination
of the government to try to complete its
scheme of Irish legislation before dis
solving parliament. Certain influential
conservatives in constant c0mmunica-
ton with the electoral headquarters are
pressing Lord Salisbury TO remodel the
cabinet and to dissolve parliament at
once. They plead that the strength of
the Gladstonian reaction is growing
OOhoIuiltEs duU lllnO-
Another Years Delay
will probably result in an overwhelm-
ing Liberal majority. These tactical
reasons, though supported by the opln-
ion of the officials of the electoral exec
utive, have not shaken Lord Salisbury
and Mr.. Balfour in their resolve to
face another session. The talk over the
Wisbech election in the Conservative
and Liberal clubs tonight treat it as
likely to precipitate the dissolution of
parliament. Private ministerial utter
ances. however. decide the notion that
a bye election will change the line de-
cided upon. The period for the recon-
construction of the cabinet depends
upon Mr. Smiths health. He h y been
i'll enough to render 1t improbable that
he will never reappear as minister.
Unless he improves lie will withdraw
from public life wholly Oh taking the
peerage. The Duke of Rutland, who
has long been all invalid, will also re-
tire. Mr.. Matthews. the home secretary,
will get a judgeship. a new cabinet,
WITH Mr. Chamberlain, Sir }. E. GOrst
and Lord Harrington as members, who
will add a further Liberal element to
government legislation, must have time
to settle into working cohesion before
risking dissolution of parliament.

The State Debt.

1t was expected that conference
would be held last week in New York
between the OlcOtt debt committee and
representatives of the State, as a pre-
liminary step to the Virginia debt COM
missions considering the question of en-
tertaining proposition from the bond
holders. 1t was understood that com
mittee of five agreed upon at the con-
ference held in the Governors office in
Richmond just after the Olcott letter
was received would proceed to New York
ter with the OlcOtt committee. Four of
the members of the committee are J.
Taylor Ellyson, r. H. Cardwell, w. D.
Dabney and Thomas Martin.
This committee will impress upon the
Olcott committee that it would be useless
to hope for any settlement which mate
rally differed from the Riddleberger
bill.
The reply of the Olcott committee to
the Governors letter answering the
committees request for an interview
reached Richmond on Saturday the 9th
The committee say they leave it to
Governor Mckinney to make public the
correspondence concerning the proposed
settlement. They feel that when the
public does see the details of their prop
ositions there will be nothing but appro-
baton 1or the manner IN winch they
have brought the debt question to its
present stage. A gentleman who has
been one OF the most active promoters
of the settlement said recently that in
the course OF long experience in large
financial transactions he did not remem>

refunding where the committee had
been SO successful in its dealings with

now had deposited 30 per cent. of the
total debt, and this in spite of the fact
that tive-sixths OF it was owned abroad.
They were prepared TO go TO the State

Heavy English Investments in the
South

An English correspondent holding
very intimate relations to the iron and
steel and the financial circles of Great
Britain in private letter to the editor
of the Manufacturers Record gives the
following information:
The Sequachee (Tenn.) valley proper
ty, which company organized here
will develop, consists of 1000 acres of
valley land for the town-site, $4,000
acres of coal and timber, 1900 acres of
coal and iron AMI $500 acres of iron
land The capital, f250,OOO, has been
subscribed. The English board is the
strongest yet formed here for such an
enterprise. One of its members, who is
very prominent in the British Iron and
Steel Institute, and one of the foremost
iron men on this side, after thorough
inspection of the property, became a
large shareholder in the company and
accepted place in it's directory. The
American managers are John H. Inman,
John G. Calhoun and General Chamber
lain of the Southern Iron Co., of Chat
tanOOga.
A syndicate has been organized to
purchase 100000 acres of coal, iron, tim
Der and clay lands on Licking river
in Rowan, Bath, Carter and four other
counties OF Eastern. Kentucky. One of
our best practical experts has been sent
from here and is now examining the
property. If his report confirms the
statements of owners of the tract, it will
be bought and developed by the syndl-
cate.
1t is now a certainty that the syndi-
cate organized here last summer to de-
velop the town of Kimball, in Tennessee
and, in connection with it, to purchase
all the Tennessee properties of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Co.,
will close the deal, all important ar
engagements to that end having been
completed. This will unite adjoining
properties under one management, and
round out an extensive development by
adding immensely to it's holdings and its
natural resources.
Another syndicate has been organized
with capital of $4,000, 900 to make ex-
tensive purchases in the South on which
a great enterprise can be established. H.
Premature publicity might embarrass
their pending negotiations, and you will
please consider what follows as strictly
confidential. \ Some time next
autumn at the latest everything will be
perfected when the seal OF secrecy will
be removed

was in Clifton Forge, Friday evening
and called at the VIRGINIAN office. He
and Captain M. H. Mccarthy, general
manager of Rich Patch mines, had been
on the property of the Allegheny Mining
and Development Company, at Low
Moor, to examine into the iron ore prop
erty there. They both give it as their
opinion that a good body of iron ore will
be found, with proper mining appli>
ances. The diamond drill gives about
30 feet of ore, and the prospect is for q
paying deposit.

Another West Virginia Road.

A few months ago a syndicate of New
York Capitalists purchased from COM
pany of Wheeling men a large tract of
land in Logan county, supposed to be
underlaid with a fine vein of coal. The
land was bought at a very moderate
price, and the new owners at once began
an investigation to discover the real
value of the purchase. A geologist made
an examination of the land and found 1t
to be underlaid with three seams of coal
one being the Flat Top coking coal, and
another good quality of steam coal,
and the third vein of camel coal about
four feet thick. The Investment proved
more valuable than the purchasers had
hoped, and they at once commenced
preparing to build railroad from the
Norfolk and Western, at the mouth of
Tug Fork river, to Rock Castle along the
Tug River. The local re .resenatiye of
the company is NJ. Thacher, of Keneova,
W. Va. Last week Ia, assured
correspondent that the road would be
built at once. The owners of the land
will ship the coal from the mines, they
will open to Keneova, where it will be
transferred to the Norfolk and Western
for shipment east and west.

There are about 100000 tons of iron

which goes to the laborer in the mines.
There are something like 100000 tons of
iron made in this district representing
something like million and half dol
lars. And yet the iron industry in this
section is only in it's infancy. When the
mines shall have been partially develop

large, and in time four times as much iron
will be turned out. This is something to

Hampshire, who had been defeated for
reelection, was appointed minister to
China, by the President. He made his
arrangements to embark for the fiowery
kingdom, and was actually on his way
to San Francisco, to>take one of the Pa
cifc steamers for his destination. He had
gotten as far as Chicago when telegram
from Secretary of State Blaine was res
ceived recalling him. The reason for
this was that the Chinese government
refused to receive him because of several
harsh criticisms made by Mr. Blair as to
the Chinese people, in speeches made in
the Senate He returned to Washington.
1t Is thought he will be transferred to
Japan, on the return of the President,
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
