FOREIGN CRITICISM,

LONDON, Jan. 5.-The Times, comment
ing on Leon Says criticism of American
finances and the program of the Farmers
Alliance, says in its issue of today: "It is
probable that old party ties in America
will for some time to come prevent the
distant emergency of third party with a
program such as that of the Farmers Al
lance. But the new party will make its
influence felt in both the older organiza-
tions. 1t would be mistake to under
rate the significance OF the movement"

WAR TAlK.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-An Annapolis spec
ial says: Comment is aroused among
navy officers over the series of order.
emanating from the navy department
within the past few weeks, directing the
commissioning of war ships at San Fran
/ cisco. and the ordering of other cruisers 10
/ Pacific waters. Under the present orders
no less than eleven war ships and five
revenue cutters will soon be in commission
! in the Pacific, and ready for duty. IT, in
| addition, the rumored chartering and arm
ing Of seven steamers for revenue cutter
duty in Bering sea prove correct. the
! United States naval force will number
twenty-three ships against the five British
gun boats and one armOred vessel at pres
ent protecting Great Britain's interests in
the north Pacific. 1t is now asserted that
the Yantic will be sent from New York 10
the Pacific. This will incre ,se the above
force by still another vessel"
THE ENGLISH PRESS.
LONDON, Jan. 5.-The Pail Mall Gazette
today SAYS: The case for arbitration in
the Bering sea dispute is so clear, Lord
Salisbury's offer is 50 ample, and the feel
ing in America in favor OF arbitration is
so general and strong, that it seems neces-
sary TO look for Mr.. Blaine's motives for
his warlike attitude elsewhere than in the
merits of the case. That the American
people would deliberately prefer a policy
OF aggression. and would sooner embark
in a fratricidal war with England than
submit to arbitration, is too silly and alb
surd TO need a moments consideration. 1t
is clear that MIR Blaine speaks not for the
nation, but for his party; that he means
bluff, and plays to the anti-English gal
lery."
The St. James G tzette of today says:
There is no reason for alarm, or TO an
ticipaUe a rupture. Mr.. Blaine's political
party is at low-water mark, and he resorts
TO the old device of twisting the lions
tall"
THE ENGLISH FOREIGN OFFICE.
LoSDoN, Jan. 5-The communication
from the foreign Office on the Bering Sea
matter was printed and sent TO all the
newspaper offices and news agencies in
London, it being the evident desire of the
government TO give the document the
widest publicity.
The foreign office is a most conservative
department, and the course it adopted in
regard TO the communication is quite an
from its usual methods of pro-
cedure, and strengthens the general belief
that the crisis is serious. 1t is claimed
here that the preparation of sealskins is an
entirely English industry, $4,000 people
being engaged in this work in London
alone.
Since the publication of the foreign
office communication the United States
legation and the admiralty Office have
been besieged by persons seeking TO obtain
information of the status of affairs, but all
inquiries have thus far been fruitless.

STATE FGISi ATURFS

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 5.-The second
legislature of Montana convened at noon
today in Helena. The senate and Repub
lican house organized in rooms provided
by the governor. The Democratic house
hired public hall and organized there
The Democrats have majority of four in
the senate. and at once recognized the
Democratic house. Governor ToOle, being
a Democrat, will recognize them, and send
in his message this afternoon.
A committee from the Democratic house
waited on the senate and the governor
with the information that the house was
ready for business. Governor Toole and
the senate recognized this organization,
and declined to recognize the Republican
organization. AS the matter now stands
the deadlock is as complete as it was last
year. Owing to the fact that no senators
are to be elected this year, it is believed
that some compromise may be arrived at.
