Latest Scheme for Settling yirginia's Debt
Denounced by English Bondhoiders.
LONDON, Nov. :0.-Several interviews
were had to-day with leading English hold
ers of Virginia bonds in regard to the latest
plan for funding the State debt. ALI of
them were bitterly opposed to the proposed
plan of settlement. Mr. Totter. principal
member Of the commettee. considered the
plan inIquitous. The holders, he declared,
would decidedly prefer to keep what legal
grip they had on Virginia in tax-receivable
coupons han to accept terms which were
greatly insufficient. and which lett them to
rely on the honor of men who had already
shown that they were lacking In the sense
OF honor. Virginia was able to pay her
debt, but the question had long passed ont
of the hands or the old honorable Virgin
ians, and had become q political one con-
trolled by carpet-baggers and negroes. who
dragged the honor OF the State through the
dirt with their c~oupon-killer measure. He
was for peace. but not at the price offered
in the plan. It would be better for the
holders 10 fight and carry their claims from
court to court. The proposal he made to
the committee some time since was a6s0-
lutely the lowest terms possible to accept.
A private holder who was met In the
secretary's office, and who did not wish
his name published. declared that the pro-
posals were farcical. He knew the details
of the plan through private cable dispatch
es. When the meeting of holders was
called it was certain they would unanl-
m0usly reject with scorn and contempt
worse terms than they could have got ten
years ago. Mentioning this remark to Mr..
Trotter subsequently that gentleman said
that whatever the holders might have got
ten years ago In the way OF terms. the con-
ditions were the same then as now. What
reliance could be placed in the honor of
the men Offering themi" he asked. I'VE

IRELAND NO LONGER AN ISSUE.

Baifour Makes Another Characteristic Po-
Iiticai Speech and Scores Gladstone.
LONDON, Nov. 30.-Mr. Balfour, First
Lord of the Treasury. delivered q political
address at Huddersfield to-day. In the
course of his remarks he said that Ireland.
as an electoral cry, was played out. The
Liberal leaders appeared to be In doubt
whether to play on homo rule or the agri-
cultural vote. Mr.. Gladstone took one side
and Sir William Vernon-harcourt the
other. This was . iudicious arrangement.
being planned SO that whatever turned
up winning card they could carry
the game between them. The question
presented by the condition of the agri-
cultural laborer IN Great Britain deserved
better treatment than TO be banded aeout
between wire-pullers. The question:. in
fact. was one of supreme. absorbing inter-
est, and the UnionIsts could claim that
they had shown willingness to treat 1t in q
broad. liberal spirit. The Liberals had
promised to deal with the question of vii
fage councils. but his was but a clumsy
method of putting O coping stone on local
self-government. lt was not likely that
village councils would materially alter the
condition OF the laborer.
After announcing that Mr.. Chaplin. prea-
ident of the Board of Agriculture. would.
ut an early day, introduce q small-hold-
ings bill, Mr.. Balfour pointed ont that
some difficulty would arise from the vital
difference between the conditions In Ire
land and the conditions in England. In
the former country, he said, small hold
lngs were already in existence. while in
the latter they had to deal every where
with large estates. with buildings which
would become worthless by conversion
into ailotments. He sympathized with
the desire to r~e-establish the yeo-
manry in England; but small %proprie-
tors ought to consider the difficulties
they would encounter from lack of capital.
machinery. etc. He suggested co-opera-
tive farming as q possible remedy, but he
frankly admitted that no hope of this could
be realized in the immediate future. Still,
it was an ideal to DO sought after. He
rather doubted the success of the liberal
espOusal OF tho agricultural question.
Their heads, he said. had been turned by
election successes. Mr.. Morley had as lit
re resemblance TO the prophet Daniel as
Lord Salisbury had to BelshazZar. Ii the
coming SIX years were not fruitful in snr-
prises as the last six had been. Mr.. Morley
would probably conclude that he might
find q more profitable occupation than that
