PRESIDENTIAL ShIRMISH.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Nov. 26.-It is al
ready apparent that the speakership fight
is made largely Il matter of Democratic
policy, the latest indication in this regard
being the departure of Senator German for
New York III the interest of Crisp and
Carlisle for the same city in behalf of
Mills. There is a feeling among some
Democrats that the presidential fight will
have something # skirInish in this cam
paign.
d Mills has parlors in Wizards hotel. Mr.
Bynum, who has become full-tedged
supporter of Mills since his withdrawal
from the contest, assists Mills in receiving
ant entertaining visitors.
CriSp'S quarters are at the Metropolitan.
His friends claim he will receive almost i
hundred votes on the first ballot. This
estimate includes the votes Of New York
dearly all the Southern members and some
Western.
Mcmillan is also at the Metropolitan. He
denies the report that he intends to with
draw. 1t is believed Mcmillan will have
about thirty votes on the first ballet. He
is the second choice of large number of
members.
The vicinity of Springer headquarters at
the National hotel Is piacarCed with signs
announcing his candidacy.
II is reported that five of the Indiana
congressman besides Mr.. Bynum, all thus
far arrived in the city. have declared in
newspaper interviews for Mills.
The Texan candidates now credited with
four out of the ten representatives from
Kentucky, and of the other six. four are
said to be for Crisp, and two, including Mr..
Goodnight, for Mcmillan. The action of
the New England delegation is awaited
with interest. There are fourteen Demo-
Gratis altogether from this section, and as
they will vote as a unit. their position
is of some consequence. They will hold a
final meeting in this city next week and
then decide upon the candidate to support.
Representative Mckinney of New Hamp-
shire will be at the meeting and ne has
been an outspoken adherent of Crisp. but
he is now claimed by the Mills contin-
gent He had long conference with By
nun at Mills headquarters yesterday after
noon. The friends of Mills claim the dele
cation will vote as Il unit for him.

Protection Heresy.

BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 25.--The UnioniSts Of
Birmingham gave luncheon i'll honor OF
Lord Salisbury to-day. In speech he ex-
pressed sorrow for the death of Lord
Lytton, and said that the fame of that di-
| plomat would long remain. Referring TO
the tariff question he said that on all sides
there appeared constantly increasing pro-
tectiVe duties which were calculated TO
stife British trade. The protection heresy
on which the tariffs We're founded grew
like other evil passions upon what it fed.
Watching English statistics he could not
but feel anxiety lest the effect of foreign
tariffs should be partially successful. The
errors of foreign statesmen might be trans
lated to Great Britain. Undoubtedly British
trade was being hindered for the moment
by foreign legislation.
Returning, he said: I'VE have had
trouble in the rural districts, where no
longer sound employment can be obtained
as formerly. Men have had to seek sepa-
rate remedy by moving into the towns The
government will seize with ayidity any
measure promising legitimately to increase
employment for labOrerS. either in the
towns or rural districts. One of the most
acute of the governments anxieties was
the fact that the people in their Ignorance
tried remedies which, if obtained, would
plunge them into far greater misery. The
government had narrow path to tread. IL
must avoid dangerous apathy i'll attempting
causes. On the other hand il must shun
the far more dangerous course of wander
ing into economic errors that might plunge
the whole country into irrcparaOie dIsas-
ter"
He concluded by congratulating the Lib
eral UniOnistS on their sure adhesion 10 the
Conservative alliance.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain referred to the
widening gulf separating the dissidentS
from the Gladstonians. He said he once
hoped for a speedy reunion. but now he
neither looked for nor desired reunion.
Whatever vicissitudes protracted the strug-
gle, the UniOnists would march shoulder TO
shoulder with the Conservatives until they
finally defeated the conspiracy against the
integrity of the empire. He predicted that
England's foreign relations would be seri-
ously menaced if Gladstone again comes
into power, thus giving effect to the views
against the dreibund. The recent utter
ances of Gladstone about Egypt were an
additional reason why the dissidents should
try to prevent change of government IL
was not necessary to ask Lord Salisbury
for pledges on entering into competition
with the authors of the Newcastle ''bag-of-
tricks" programme. The joint efforts OF
Unionists and Conservatives would both
save. the country from disintegration and
givethe people legislation based upon true
democratic instincts. Cheers.

But Somehow People Don't Like Steers
With Too Much Java Jury Of View,
After Listening to the ,Jawers, jaw
Some Themselves, But Cui Bono?

PEORIA, Ill, Nov. pa very important
case % cattle interests has been on trial
here for the past two weeks under the title
of Greenhut vs.. the Illinois Livestock Com
missioners. The case grew out Of The con
demning of number of cattle affected with
lumpy-iaw belonging to the DistillerS'
aud Cattle-growers' company. Greenhut,
of the Distillers' company. brought
suit to recover damages from the
livestock commissioners with 4 view to de-
termining whether lumpy-jaw is a contag-
ioJS disease or not. Much expert testimony
was given by witnesses on both sides OF the
case. Men of practical experience generally
testified that the disease was not
contagious. When the case was given
to the jury it wrestled with the
question foruy-iive hours and then reported
disagreement, the last vote standing to
/ in favor of Greenhut. All put one man
held that the disease was not contagious
and three We're in favor of 4 compromise
verdict. The attorney for Greenhut ut
once gave notice OF new trial and says
there will be no compromise until the state
board will deSiSt from the slaughter of
lumpy-jawed cattle.
TIE case has given rise to much bitter
feeling among cattlemen, as the condemn
ing of lumpy-iaw cattle means the loss of
millions of dollars to their interests. Cat
tlemen insist that the disease is harmless,
and that the Illinois board has overstepped
the bounds of its authority.
