BALFOUR ON GLADSTONE.
The Grand Old Man Taken to Task
by BaifOuP.

LONDON, April 23.-Mr. Balfour has
written letter in which he comments
at length upon Mr.. Gladstone's recent
criticisms on the Irish land bill. Mr..
Balfour says: "The Liberals oppose,
line by line, measure which is ac-
cepted in its main principles by every
section of the Irish party ana eagerly
desired by the bulk of the Irish agri-
cultural community, involving no risk,
theoretical or practical to the Brit
lsh taxpayer. Mr.. Gladstone does
not even pretend to held out
any prospect of a settlement of
the question, except by occupying
the time of parliament, if he gets a ma
lority, with frutless discussion of ab
surd and impossible schemes of lone
rule. While he has been voting on alb
stract resolutions about self-govern-
ment, rural parishes and registration,
the government has done more to adj
vance the principle of local self-govern-
ment i'll every part of the kingdom, to
tighten the cost of the education of the
working classes, to strengthen the de-
lenses of the empire and to deal with
social questions than an adminiStra-
ton pledged to home rule would be
likely to do in generation. The gov
eminent, though not following Mr..
Gladstone's example in confining its at
tentlon to ireland, has effected and is
efectlng more for the material welfare
or the country than any of its predeceS-

British Men of War Dispatched
to South Africa.

LONDON, April 90 Lord Salisbury i'm
the house of lords to-day in answer to
an Interpolation regarding the action
OF the Portuguese authorities in inter
fering with Sir John WilIoughby's ex-
peditlOn on the Pungwe river said that
the members of the English eXpe-
ditlon had been treated IN a man
ner not consistent with the
engagements of the Portuguese govern
ment. Lord Salisbury added that the
demeanor OF the Portuguese officials in
Africa corresponded so little with the
assurances given by the Lisbon govern
ment that it had been decided to send
three British war ships to the mouth of
the Pungwe river. The statement of
the prime minister was greeted with
cries of "Hear! Heart" LOrti Salisbury
said that the men of war sent to the
Pungwe river would not be large. but
they would be sufficient for the purpose.
The Portuguese minister, having inti-
mated that his government had ordered
the removal of the obstacles TO free pas
sage into the interior, Lord Salisbury
proposed that Great Britain appoint a
consul to see that the moduS vivendi
was observed, and said that the govern
ment would send naval officer to act
Ill that capacity.

York Stonemasons' Strike.

pllSh their demands and at the

strikers to man manifested desire
to bring their compatrlotS to a sense
that the edict of the union must be
Obeyed to the letter. With this determi-
nation the strikers repaired to several
buildings in course of construction and
to join in the demand. Many of them
replied that they were satisfied with
the present arrangementS-s3.5 so for
nine hOnrS' labor. Others, however, at
tached themselves to the strikers. After
being reinforced considerably, a de-
scent was made Oh building in course
of construction at One Hundred and
Thirty-tifth street and st. AIMS ave-
nue.. A great number of Italian stone
maSons not affiliated with the labor Or
CARNATIONS were employed there. 1t
was II 80 when the disaffected unionists
halted in front of the building. They
called to NencenZo Laccossi, the fore
man. and stated that they wanted him
and all the stonemasons to quit work.
Thestrikers. becoming apprehensive that
excited and drew stilettos, Before any
onslaught was made LaccOSSi and
the workman drew pistols and riot
seemed imminent. The strikers picked
up stones, and after retreating a short
distance hurled them towards the build
ing. While they were thus harrasSing
the wOrkmcn. policemen arrived from
the MOrisana station. The first man ar
rested was Foreman Laccossi, who
stood in front of the building with a
loaded revolver in his hand. Eleven of
the riotOuS Italians were taken into Gus
tody. The others dispersed. The po-
lice had scarcely reached the station
house when they were apprlSea that a
detachment of strikers Yves making
trouble in One Hundred and Forty-nlnth
street, where the block is being graded.

arrested. Each one of these men had a
revolver. The arrested malcontents

MAN AND PYTHON.
Awful and Singular Battle in a
Chicago Hotel.


Chicago Hotel.
CHICAGO, April 23.-Prof. Henri Bel
mont, OF Paris, snake charmer, was
all but choked to death at the Grand
Pacific hotel last night by a python,
which he had taken to his room with
other reptiles in box. The occupant
OF the room adjoining the professors
was awakened by BelmontS cries for
help, and, with others, burst into the
apartment, where horrible sight was
presented. Lying on the bed, his face
black from Sutfocation and his eyes
bulging from his head, lay the snake
charmer. Around his body was tightly
coiled the king of Snakes" The dia-
mOnd-Shaped mouth was waving to and
fro, and from the horrid mouth shot the
long black, forked tongue in anger. The
smaller snakes had disappeared under
the bed, where they were Kissing and
sQuirming in heap. ''Untwist bis tail"
family whispered the half-choked pro-
feSSor. "Fll grab his head while you
untwist his tail," shouted Clerk New
berry, and with a spring he caught the
the head. 1t took all the clerks strength
to untwist the steel-like coils of the rep
tile. When the arms of the professor
were free he grabbed the serpent and
threw it into the box, and quickly shut
the lid. The python is about seven feet
long. Belmont was informed that the
hotel was no museum, and with his box
he sought another hotel.

UNIDENTIFIED EXIT.
NJ. Dreyfus Is Thrown Out of a
Meeting of His Constituents.


PARIS. April 23.-M. Camille Dreyfus.
a member of the chamber of deputies
and well-known journalist, editor of
La Nation and the gentleman who was
some time ago almost killed by the Mar
Quis de Mores in duel, presided to-day
at meeting which he had organized.
Two thousand of his constituents from
the Twelfth reimbursement of the de-
partment of the Seine were present.
The object of NJ. Dreyfus in calling the
meeting was to refute the charges
of blackmail brought against him
by NJ. Edmond Blanc, of Monte
Carlo. An uproarious discussion
intermiXed with incessant quarrels,
characterized the first portion of the
meeting. Eventually NJ. Dreyfus lost
his temper, and, jumping from the plat
form, began to pummel one of the elect
ors who had been most prominent in in
terrupting him. A free fight, in which
nearly everybody present joined, fol-
lowed the onslaught of NJ. Dreyfus upon
the interrupting elector. The speakers
platform was stormed by NJ. Dreyfus'
constituents, and matters were made so
lively for that gentleman that he was
compelled, in order to escape very
rough handling, to make his way from
the hall by a window, fol-
lowed by the hooting and jeer-
ing and insulting remarks of the
citizens Of the Twelfth arondissement.
The meeting, after N, Dreyfus' undig-
fed exit. was continued by his constitu-
epts, who passed a resolution calling
upon him to resign. NJ. Dreyfus was
induced to call the meeting from whielj
he escaped With difficulty, by pain
phlet which was issued March by NJ.
