PROTECTION SPEECHES MADE.
The London Branch OF the Imperial Fedora
ton League Listens to Few.

LONDON, May %. The London branch
of the imperial federation league held q
meeting to-day, at which several protection
speeches were made. Sir Charles Topper,
Canadian high commissioner, said
if England adopted small pro
tective tax not discriminating on
tariff no country would complain.
Cobden's theory that all countries would
speedily follow England's example by
adopting free trade had proved fallacious,
including, he said, Canada, which could
produce all of the food the United States
now exports to Great Britain.
Another speaker, Mr.. Brekwith, said
Salisbury struck the right note in declar
ing that free trade had gone too far He
advocated plan to appease Canada by
taking all rival imports from the United
States.

POLITICAL LEAGUES.
The yetern Soldiers of New York Propose to
Take Hand in the Game.

NEW YORK, ga Syracuse special says
q soldiers movement has been started here
which may have important influence on the
politics of the state. The plan is to organ
ize veteran leagues all over the state, and
give them distinctively political charac-
ter, local as well as general. The grand
army posts, as such, have nothing to do
with politics. "This organization" said a
veteran, will be for mutual aid in politics
and perhaps other directions. Weshall or
ganize SO that we shall be in position to
assist friends effectively, whenever oppor-
tunity affords. The existing county
veteran leagues will be the basis of organ
lZation. There will be a civic committee
for every assembly district in the state and
vice commissioner for every town and
ward, and he will have q staff of ten
members"
The soldiers are hopeful of building 9
powerful political machine.

CLAIM IT'S A FORGERY.

Chauncey Depew Says the Alleged Grant Let
ter to Conkling Was Never Written
New YORK, May Chauncey Dspew,
in an interview, declares that it is his firm
belief that the alleged letter of Grant to
Conkling, made public at Columbus, o., in
which the writer argues against a second
or third term, is an atrocious and ingenious
forgery and says it will act as boone
rang. Depew says he had an interview
with the man who arranged Conkling's en-
tire correspondence, and that the letter
was not among them. Hon. George G.
Gorham, in letter to the Sun, takes the
same position, and adds that he had assur-
snce from Conkling himself after the con.
vention of 1880, that he had not received a
line from Grant on the presidency or nom
ination since his return from his trip
around the world.

is DECIDEDLY SUSPICIOUS.

Large numbers of non union men are be-

at different places by union men to get
miners to join the union.
About forty miners, union men, armed
with rifles, left for Mullan yesterday. The
union men are well armed, and though
quiet are determined and mean business.
While no actual violence is attempted,
they board trains in large numbers and
passengers are alarmed.

quiet, but ne determined to go to the scene
of action in person and sift the matter to
the bottom. He left for C9ur d. lene this

is to use the spreading Of the alarm to In
duce Governor Wiley to secure military
aid in order that the miners may be cowed.
