THE MIST THICKENs.
Salisbury's Government Involved
in Difficulties.

LONDON, Feb. Gas the time ap-
proaches for the meeting of parliament
the difficulties are thickening in the
path of tine government. OF these the
most pressing are the restrictions to be
placed upon the Irish local government.
There appears to be no doubt that Mr..
Balfour gave little or no information to
the Irish deputations here yesterday.
He heard their complaints and their
suggestions, and that was about
all. 1t is also rather an open
secret that the restrictions asked for
would render the plan unacceptable 10
large section of the minlsterialists'
supporters.
A plan which finds more favor with
the government than it is likely to meet
with in the house of commons is one of
drastic supervision and suppression
such as would make the county councils
hopeless dependents upon the Irish
local government board, and might at
any time render the work of that board
beyond possibility if there were any
general disobedience to the official ideas
of local government

army, have admitted. before the COM
mission appointed by the reichstag to
inquire into the charges that certain
non-commissioned officers had been
guilty OF treating the men under them

In a subsequent debate in the reich
stag on the subject Herr Richter rldi-
culed the remark of Deputy Lingens

his officers as representatives of the
Deity. Herr Singer announced that he
would call attention to the systematic

sion of the house. All the speakers
concurred in expressing sympathy with
the men.a finally motion was passed
advising that greater publicity be given
to courts martial and that freer access
be afforded to prlvateS who desired to
lay complaints before their superior

PACKERS CONTRACT.
Particulars of the Armour Nor
riS-Swift Deal

TlS-SW1IC DcdIs
BosToN, Feb. Ga circular has been
issued by the Chicago Junction railways
and Union Stock Yards company, call
ing meeting of stockholders March
to change the bylaws and approve the
contract with Messrs. Armour, Morris,
Swift and others. to whom the company
propose to issue 100000 fifteen year
five per cent non-cumulatiYe income
bonds, reSerying the right to deliver
common stock at par in lieu of such
bonds and stockholders to have the right
to exchange common stock at par into
such bonds.
The contract proposed binds the
packers to continue for fifteen years the
business of packing at Chicago all live
stock slaughtered by them within 200
miles of Chicago. All the live stock is
to pass through the Chicago company's
yards and TO pay the usual charges and
yardage, which shall amount in the
next six years to at least $4,000. 900. All
suits are to be abandoned and the Cen
tral Stockyards is to be transferred to
the Chicago company and also 1000, 900
acres of land at rollSton and the use OF
the remaining 5000 acres is to be re-
stricted. The circular says that the
live stock purchased by the packers at
the yards of the company are the source
of over 80 per cent of the income of the
yards, and the removal of these packers
would have resulted in a corresponding
loss to the company'S income.

MILLERS KICKING.
NeWfOundland's Flour Trade Lost
to Canada.

to Canada.
MONTREAL, Feb. Ga trade circular
has been issued to the Canadian millers
which is of interest to Americans, as
well. 1t says: 1--WE are exceedingly
sorry to see that the difficulties between
Canada and Newfoundland over the
fishery question have brought about a
dlfferential tax on all Canadian tiours
entering Newfoundland. This tax is
Sl.O5 per barrel, while all United States
f1ours are admitted on the former
tariff of 80 cents per barrel. This
difference of rs cents barrel
against us is simply prohibitory for
the Canadian trade. Newfoundland
requires every year 100000 barrels of
flour, and we are certain that there will
be no difficulty in Canadian millers Sc
curing the bulk of this trade if we are
placed Oh equal terms with our Ameri-
can competitors. For the first time in
several years the prices of Canadian
fours are on a level or a little below
those OF American millerS. We fully
rely on your aid in this matter, and sug-
gest that every miller should at once
communicate with the representative
of his district in parliament, and also
write to the millers' association in sup
port of this effort; otherwise the share
of NewfOundland's spring orders for
flour which certainly belongs to Can
ada will certainly go the American
millerS,"

It is Desirable That He be an
Englishman.
LONDON, Feb. 6.-The bishop of Cliff
ton, DR.. Clifford, as possible candidate
to succeed Cardinal Manning as arch
bishop, is spoken of as home ruler.
This is not true. He has, as matter of
fact, made no secret of his conservative
SympathieS, and has upon occasion
used his influence with his flock in that
interest. i he importation cf Cardinal
Moran from Sidney to fill the vacancy
at Westminster must have been sug-
geSted by those who allow commend
able zeal for desirable object to run
away with their sense of justice.
Although the statement that nine
tenths of the Roman Catholics in Lon
don are Irish or foreigners may be al
lowed to pass, with certain reserva-i
tions, yet the fact remains that they
have been happy and content under the
English archbShOpS: nor must it be
forgotten that the Roman church in
England aspires to convert English
men 10 its views, an object which, as
things are, is much more likely to be
furthered by native prelate. In short,
an English hierarchy with an Irish head
would hardly work we'll. The name Of
Bishop Hedley has also been a great
deal mentioned as that of possible
successor of the late Cardinal Manning.
He is among the most learned of the
English bishops, and has for some years
edited the Dublin Review.

''Hill is by long odds the most pop

and Cleveland is one of principle as
well as of personality. He is not as
radical on the tariff question as Cleve-

during the last several years, while
Cleveland has alienated all the friends

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. - The Cara
movement along the Mexican border is
giving the officials of the war depart
ment considerable trouble just at pres
ent. No secret is made of their dsap-
pointment that Cara is still at large in
American territory, and that his opera
tlonS cannot be confined exclusively to
Mexican territory. Cara and his follow
ers are known to have received aid
and sympathy from the Mexican resi-
dents i'll the vicinity of the Rio Grande,
and the fact that United States troops
are unable to capture the revOlutionists
is in large measure attributed to the
deceptlons practiced on them by these
people.
Gen. Grant, acting secretary of war,
and Gen. Schofield had conference
with the president on this subject to-
day. and it is understood that it was de-
cided to take vigorous action to
capture Cara and his Immediate
followers and drive them out of
this country. Senor Romero, the Mex
lean minister, also had a talk with Sec
retary Blaine on the same subje. to-
day, and was assured that this go, ern-
nent would do its utmost to prest rv ;
, the neutrality laws.
The president of Mebico has W TIL
drawn the suggestion recently made by
him that Mexican troops in close ur-
suit OF the revolutionists be allowed 10
cross the Rio Grande at points where
the exact line of division of the two coun-
tries is as yet underlined, a like privi-
lege to be conceded to United States
troops under similar conditions. 1t is
understood that this action was taken at
the suggestion of this government Oh
the ground that the presence of armed
troops on foreign territory might result
in dangerous international cOmplica-
tlons, The two governments will con-
tinue to cooperate, however, in the
strict enforcement of the ne utrality
laws.

Narrow

LONDON. Feb. 6.-The Saturday Re-
view, in its comments upon the late
DR.. SpurgeoD, takes very low view of
the great preachers ability and meth
DDS. The tenor of the notice gives an
impression that had it not been for
Spurgeon's condemnation of the home
rule movement nothing would have
saved him from being classed by the
Review with mere pulpit mountebanks.
In the course of the articles the writer
says:
'Foreigners impute to the average
Englishman vulgarity, illiteracy, intol-
erance and incapacity to rise above mar
row and stunted forms of life and

free from these faults. Still, it cannot

Limburg Stirum, a pensioned member
of the diplomatic corps, for publishing
in the Kreuz Zeitung a series of violent
articles against the commercial treat
les, occurred today in the disciplinary
court. The trial was conducted
in private. The count conducted his
own defense. He contended that he
was guilty of no breach of the official
rules, but the court nevertheless SEN
fenced him to dismissal from the pub
lie service, and decreed that he should
lose his pension and be deprived of his
diplomatic title of minister. The SEN
tence of the counts publicly regarded
as being due to the influence of the
emperor's desire to give lesson to
Prince Bismarck.
