Sir John Gorst In New Treason.

LosDoE. sept. 2l.-sir John E. Gorst, the po-
Htical secretary of the India Office, In an inter-
view today upon the English land question,
declined to commit himself to any definite plan
for the settlement OF it He said:
There il a grievance. and something must and
will be done, or revolution is certain. l DO not
mean bloody revolution, but / mean that the
people will demand the possession OF the land
they live upon. They have not now the power
20 DO so, and they are dissatisfied with their
present lot, consequently they will have things
altered.
Considerable attention has been attracted to-
words Sir John GOrst, who has been a member
Of the royal labor commission since July last,
when. in remarkable outburst Of plain speax-
ing in the commons, he expressed contempt for
certain members Of the ministry. His present
utteraDces would seem to indicate that the ap-
pointment of Sir James Ferguson as postmaster
general caused him 10 break out in a new direc-
ton. The Star today predicts that he will be
leading Tory Democrat, and insists that he is
preparing TO bid high for the rural vota.

are reported TO be very restless because of the
inactiOn OF the legislature. The superintendent
OF prisons said today that he anticipated a re-

Democrats gained several additional

sions and American citizens in China are to rely

take part in the congress, which meets to
morrow.
In the torchlight parade tonight over 10000
people were in line. Along the route of the
procession the German Catholic residences and
many buildings were proiusely decorated. Great
efforts have been made by the German Cath
olics to make a large showing. Indeed. the
parade and the congress have stirred up much
bitter feeling in Buffalo. Local papers have
teemed with columns Of a war of words, in
which the terms 'liar and falsehood" oc-
Cured. Father Zurcker, a temperance
advocate, and strong opponent of
Cahenslyfsm. had offered TO carry the
banner OF Archbishop Ireland In tonights
procession, and the comment and rejoinders
ensuing were close to the point where personal
violence would appear inevitable. The offer,
whether originally iocose or otherwise, was ig-
nored and neither Archbishop Ireland nor
Father ZurcKer cut any figure in the parade.
