WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Secretary Noble
has denied the motion filed by Pope and
Hopping for the Kaweah Co-operative
Colony in Tulare County, Cal, for re-
view of his decision of January II. 1891,
holding for cancellation their several cash
entries in what is now the Sequoia Ma

of the colonists making applications 10

order reserving the lands from settle

Concerning the site at the latter place Mr..

of Neutrality.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-The DaiLy Teleorapb
publishes the following news from
Vienna: Intelligence comes from Con-
stantinople that the Russian Embassy is
pushing the Sultan hard for proofs of his
assurances of neutrality. In other words,
Russia affects to believe that the Sultan
has taken certain engagements for con-
tingency of war, and NJ de Nelidoff con-
tends that the Porte's assurances to the
contrary are insufficient He saws that
Russia must either obtain substantial
proof, or she must take steps to secure
her own interests. The Sultan pointed
out that Kiamil Pasha, against whom
Nelldotf had made frequent complaints.
had been dismissed, but the Russian Em-
bassador replied:
Your majesty assured Sir William
White and NJ. de Radowitz that a change
of Ministers meant no change of foreign
policy, and added that it was well known
that Klamil Pasha had strong sympathies
with the Triple Alliance and with Eng
land. Therefore, Russia is entitled to de-
mand tangible evidence that there is no
understanding between Turkey, Eng
land and Germany"
1t Is hardly necessary to say that that is
merely fresh device of the Russian EN-
bassy for putting on the screws and com
pell1ng the Sultan to ask for the recall of
the British detached squadron in Turkish
waters. The Dardanefles are sown with
torpedoes, and several foreign vessels are
being sued for damages for having
dragged their cables and injured the
wires with their anchors. Eight hundred
pounds is claimed from one ship belong

FULLER POWERS TO BE GIVEI

The Final Hope of the Restoration of
Party Unity Said to Rest With
Michael Davitt-Encouraging Indi-
cations That Great Britain Will Be
Creditably Represented in the Ex-
hibits at the Worlds Fair.

Copyright, 1891, by N. Y. Associated Press. !
LONDON, Oct. 23.-Gladstone has re-
vlsed the home rule bill. AS to what
time the scheme in detail will be di-
vulged depends upon the fate and char
acter OF the Governments Irish local
government measure. If a dissolution
came now the measure would be pub
nshed with such completeness as would
leave the Conservatives no chance to say
that the country had been deceived in
any important point When the general
election does come the issue, will be
fought on definitely declared homo rule
lines. If the popular vote places Mr..
Gladstone in power, the course thus
adopted will paralyze the opposition.
The House of Lords viii not dare to re-
Ject the bill on the ground that vote oi
the electorate has not been specially
taken thereon.
Regarding the principles of the new
measure enough has been officially as
| certained to state that it gives the pro-
posed Irish legislatures fuller powers
than did the bill of 1885. 1t retains the
lower and upper houses of the Irish Par
Lament, vests the appointment of the
judiciary in the Irish Executive, and
maintains larger representation of IRE
land in the Imperial Parliament. Conn
plete questions of financial relations and
control OF the police are also settled.
In the Cork election fight there is much
partisanship. The friends of Redmond
declare themselves confident of victory.
They have no lack of funds. part of the
money coming from America. The final
hope Of the restoration of party unity
rests with Michael Davitt. If he refrains
| from throwing his whole influence on the
side OF the McCarthyites, and uses his
personal power in quiet policy of con-
clllatlon, he will in time reconstruct the
Irish party. If he consents to contest
Kilkenny, thus throwing the gage of bat
tie to the Parnellites. the feud will be
eternal. When interviewed to-day he
talked as If entirely committed to the
majority.
William L. Jackson, whose appoint
ment as Irish Secretary is definitely an

A PROTECTED BOOM.
British Authorities Experimenting
With New Harbor Defense.

British Authorities Experimenting
With a New Harbor Defense.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-Experiments were
made III the creek in Portsmouth harbor
yesterday with a protected boom invented
by the Naval Committee. The boom con-
sisted of six hulks, one foot square and
forty feet long, arranged with the ends
toward the enemy. The spaces between
the beams were too narrow to permit a
torpedo vessel to passIthrough. The OBJ
stacle was solidified by ten steel hawsers
intertwined among the beams and faulty
attached TO harges on either side TO
prevent torpedo boat from dipping the
boom and enabling it to glide over, an
other SiX-lnch haWser was suspended six
feet above the boom. The beams were
armed with steel points and powerful
spikes shaped like BULBS horns.
One OF the swiftest torpedo boats in the
British navy, the one lately commanded
by Prince George, was selected to at
tempt to pass the boom. The torpedo
boat was encased in Il super-structure,
rising in the center and sloping toward
the eXtremities, in order TO carry the ele-
waited hawser over the hull and prevent
the smashing of the funnel and torpedo
gear. The funnel was constructed to fall
back If struck. The torpedo boat selected
carried Lieutenant and four seamen,
whose lives were insured by the Ad-
miralty. 1t dashed forward at a speed of
fourteen knots an hour, striking the
boom i'll the center. The boat mounted
first the fence, smashing the boom amid
ships, but the anchor gear became en-
tangled with the overhead hawser and
stopped the boat. Even then the boat
could have discharged the torpedo. but
she was fatally crippled and remained
fixed to the beam. The bow compart-
ments filled with water, the boat having
impinged upon the iron horns, and the
bottom of the starboard side was ripped
open. The engine being reversed, freed
the boat, and it immediately rolled over
ON the starboard side. The crew then
abandoned her and she sank.
