A bill is before the West Virginia

that would be to take step back

A Steamship Captain Shows
His FirmneSS.
Refused to Deliver Political Refugees to
San Salvador Authorities.
Denied Clearance Papers He Sails Without
Them--HiS Vessel Is Seized at
tie Next Port.
Frecial to The MORNING CALI.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Supernten-
dent of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany was advised to-day by the company's
agent at La Libertad, San Salvador, that
the steamer City of Panama, which had
been detained on account of having politi-
cal refugees on board. has sailed from that
port direct to San Jose de Guatemala. The
agent also stated that the cargo had been
discharged at La Libertad, and the Co
mandante at that port refused to dispatch
the vessel.
Vice-President Houston OF the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company said this after
noon that he had received dispatch stating
That the City OF Panama lad been seized
and detained at La Lbertad by the authori
ties of San Salvador because there were
political refugees on board The details
are meager, the dispatch having evidently
been revised with great care by the San
Salvador officials. General Latona is pas
senger on the City Of Panama. He is po-
litical refugee, bound from Corcinto, Mica
ragua, to San Jose de Guatemala How this
concerns San Salvadoreans is not stated,
but they demanded his surrender at La
Union. Captain White refused to COM
ply with the order, and the Comandante
OF the port refused him clearance papers.
He sailed without them, telegraphing the in
formation to the agent at Panama, who ad-
yised him to make the port of San Jose de
Guatemala direct, fearing the wrath of
President Ezeta who has an armed force at
AcaJutla. Captain White no doubt
had to stop at La Libertad to
let off passengers. There he was told
his ship would be eonfiscated unless he gave
up hve political refugees, whose names are
not given. He again refused to deliver up
the men, who were under the protection Of
the American flag, and he was not allowed
to proceed on his way. Nothing further
has been heard from Captain White. The
matter has been referred to the State De-
partiuent at Washington.
The San Salvador Consul said to-day he
had received no advices concerning the de-
tention of the steamship lie was aware of
the existing trouble between the company
and the authorities but did not know it was
OF such serious nature as would cause the
detention of the vessel. He expects 10 re-
celVe word from there soon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. lit Is stated that
the department has not yet received in
formation of the reported seizure of
the Pacific Mail steamship City of
Panama at La Libertad, San Saliva
dor. IL was advised of the threatened in
tention of the authorities of Salvador to
seize the vessel at AcaJutla because she left
port of Salvador without properly clear

graphed United States Minister Pacheco
to examine into the facts Immediately and
make report OF the result of his investga-

ALEXIS IN PARIS.
The Grand Duke Changes Els Programme
and Arrives UHharaldEd.

PARIS, Aug. 11.-There is scarcely doubt
that the non-arrival here yesterday of the
Grand Duke Alexis was entirely due 10 his
disinclination to be the recipient of the en-
thuSiastic welcome the citizens of Paris had
prepared for him. The crowd learned that
he would not arrive yesterday, but they
also learned when he would reach Paris,
and consequently, when the train in which
he Travelled rolled into the station this
morning there was no one present officially
or unOtficially to receive him, though as he
reached the platform he was recognized by
4 crowd Of at least one thousand persons,
and the greeting they gave the Grand Duke
was enthusiastic. The Grand Duke, bow
ing and smiling at the warmhess of his well
come, despite his attempt to avoid it, en-
tered carriage and was Immediately dri ven
to the hotel.
LONDON, Aug. 11.-The Times this morn
ing publishes dispatch from its Paris cor
respondent confirming the reports that the
non-arrival of the Grand Duke Alexis in
Paris yesterday at the Tins designated was
Intentional. The dispatch adds the reason
for the change in the Grand Dukes pub
lished programme may be that Russia
wished to show Germany she is still ope n
to an offer if Germany Outbids France.

LAWS FOR IRELAND.
The LEGAL Government Bill Explained by
Secretary BalfOur.

LONDON, Aug. 11.-Hou. A. J. Balfour,
Chief Secretary for Ireland. in a speech de-
livered at Plymouth yesterday outlined his
ideas of Irish local government. He was,
he said, aware that many members of the
Conservative party disliked the proposal,
but he argued that there were two reasons
why local government should not be with
held from Ireland. The first was a senti-
mental one, because it had already been
given to England and Scotland; and the
second was because local government had
been repeatedly promised Ireland.
Balfour declared it would be madness to
allow the councils to administer t he funds
OF any class not represented in these bodies.
Such permission would convert them into
engines OF tyranny and oppression.
THE POLICE QUESTION.
The police question, Balfour continued,
caused alarm, but he would never consent
to decentralization of force by handing over
the local police either to councils or to cuun-
ellis in association with the Grand jury. He
further believed there would be no serious
attempt by the counties to secure control of
so costly force.
He was compelled to admit that lie feared
the first result Of the change would be TO
ouSt the landlords from share in the Gov
ernment even though they guarded the
councils by some form of minority repre-
sentatlon. 1nlS was 10 be deplored, but he
trusted and believed, as the political storm
subsided and as ancient rancor was forgot
ten, the gradual effect of the land-purehase
measure would be felt and these gentle
men. If they remained, would be largely
recognized and elected as the best men to
carry on the county business, aud thus
reconcile the classes which have been too
much and too long separated.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
The Standard says Balfour's declaration
regarding the Irish police removes the grav-
est objection to the bill, but there still re-
mains great deal to justify the Irish loyal
lists misgivinss, aud that it will be desir-
able TO Introduce stringent measures to
guarantee the upright man agement of the
finances.
The Times says his clear, viv id perception
OF the dangers of the scheme is the best
possible guarantee that Balfour is fit to cope
with and conquer them.
Tie News says: We gather from Bal
four's vague remark that there will be no
fancy franchises and no artificial rsstric-
tons upon the choice of electors, however
lngenlOusly framed. The bill Will enor-
mously strengthen the demand for home
rule and make the Grimes Act more ri
dlculouS farce lhan ever.
The ChronLcls presumrs the intention is
to make the Irish franchise narrower than
the English. The Chronicle emphatieally
opposes any such policy. Ireland, it saws. Is
entitled to absolute equality.
