LONDON, Feb. 1s.-The Constitutional
club gave banquet last night in honor of
Arthur j. Balfour, First Lord of the
Treasury. The club is one of the largest
OF its kind in the city, having member
ship of $500.
The Earl of Limerick presided and there
was a large and aristocratic company
present.
Mr.. Balfour made a speech which was
enthusiastically received.
He said that beside their ability to de-
fine their Irish policy. the Gladstonians
were in dilemma. They had made one
set OF promises to the English electors and
another to the Irish electors.
The question was: Who would be
cheated? Who would be the dupes? He
believes the general election would show
that the patience of the English electors
had been exhausted.
IL the Home Rule bill was carried the
Irish members would be so many soldiers
of fortune, supporting any government
willing to extend the already undue
limits granted by the bill to the Irish
Parliament. The Gladstonians brought
no pressure upon the government to dis
solve Parliament. In fact they dreaded
nothing more than a return to power
with majority dependant on the Irish
party.

James j. Hunnewell is building con-

him last summer to construct a house for
him. This morning they were before
Judge Wilbur and jury in the Court of
Common Pleas the former as complain
ant and the latter defendant in slam
der suit, Hunpewell claiming that Loomis
applied such uncomplimentary terms as
crogue" 'swindler" and thief to him,
on account of which he suffered great
mental and financial trouble and wants
the court TO give him redress. Mr.. Loomis
on the other hand does not deny that he
called Hunnewell something akin to thief
and in support OF the epithet he produced
witnesses and documents. The trouble
all came about when Hunnewell, who had
done his part of the work, carried off cer-
tain lumber which Mr.. l.oomis claimed he
had bought and paid for. Hunnewell re-
fused 20 return the lumber in question
and Loomis ia a moment OF passion let

Spelling His Latest scheme.
LONDON, Feb. 1S.-In the House of
Commons John p. Nolan, member for
North Galway, moved the second reading
OF the bill to enlarge Irish laborers' al
lotments and to empower local authori-
ties to purchase land for the erection of
laborers' houses. Mr.. Nolan said the bill
would enable the laborers TO improve
their position as they had done in the
colonies and the United States.
Mr.. Balfour opposed Mr.. Nolsn's mo-
ton. He said the bill would take the
money provided by his own (Mr. Bal
four's) Irish Land Purchase act for the
creation of small holdings in order to
purchase cottages very little cheaper
than they could otherwise be obtained.
Mr.. Balfour denied that his land act was
a failure, and declared that it was yet too
soon to judge of its operation.
Mr.. Sexton said he did not see why
small portion of the land act funds should
not be devoted to the present scheme.
John +. Redmond demanded the appli-
cation of cloture, but the speaker refused
TO close the debate.

Reported Absorption OF New Eng

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 1S-If the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania want to smash the
new Reading combination they can go
ahead and do it, Gov. Pattison won't take
the initiative, neither will Attorney-Gen-
eral Hensel
That some people raise the cry of monop-
oily doesn't influence Gov Pattison or At
torney-General Hensel They don't know
yet whether the State Constitution has
been violated or not. That is fact TO be
proven, and their position is practically as
follows: That some aggrieved citizen of
Pennsylvania shall come forward and
complain. The start must be taken by
the people.
Sentiment in Pennsylvania is against in
terforing with the combine. Gov. Patti
son knows that Why should he defy the
wishes of his people when knows that the
State convention will be held on April l3,
and that the delegates ostensibly elected
for Cleveland are really his friends and
ready and anxious TO see him nominatedl
The combine helps Philadelphia and
hurts New York. Gov. Pattison will
escape further annoyance from the Read
ing deal by leaving for Florida on Tuesday
with party of eighteen friends. While
the trip has been in view for some time, he
had not intended TO leave so soon, but to-
day notified several OF his friends in Phila-
delphia and elsewhere.
The car for the trip has already been
chartered, and it Is named the Davy
Crockett, ~ for the governor feels that in
this case he had better be right before he
goes ahead.
