LORD sALisBuRy's PLAN.
To Dissolve Parliament on His Defeat and
Appeal to the Country.

To Dissolve Parliament on His Defeat and
Appeal to the Country.
A correspondent writing TO the New York
Tribune, who signs himself "Ex Attache, /" says
that from personal letters from England bear
ing the date of July 6 and he learns that
Lord Salisbury is resolved not TO surrender
Office without another severe struggle.
The writer says: He proposes 10 meet the
new legislature in his capacity Of prime minis
ter, and on his first defeat In the house Of COM
mons. which is expected to occur during the
debate on the address, win request the queen
to dissolve parliament and 10 give directions
for another general election. In his renewed
appeal to the country Lord Salisbury and his
friends will endeavor TO win back both the agri-
cultural and the labor vote in England, Scot
land and Wales by means Of promises going far
beyond the pledges contained in Mr.. Gladstone 3
Newcastle program. They will, however, re-
tain their original attitude o. uncompromudng
opposition TO home rule. Lord Salisbury and
the hberslunionist leaders are convinced that
the working classes in England, Scotland and
Wales, both rural and urban, are 1t heart In
different to the political welfare of Ireland and
that If the tory premier can outbid Mr.. Glad
stone In questions affecting their own interests
they would speedily desert the veteran liberal
statesman whom they have just borne to victory
at thepolls.
at would not be the first time that the to-
ries have 'dished' the liberals in this manner by
outbidding the hitter At . critical moment, and
by promising 10 the agricultural and laboring
element the reforms and measures destined for
their benefit. Lord Salisbury will not only re-
trieye his present defeat. but also at length
justify the dissentieut liberals and radicals in
the eyes Of the democratic masses in England
for their schism from Mr.. Gladstones follow
era
81 understand that the queen, who views Mr.
Glsdstone's possible return TO Office and the in
-
Of apprehension and dismsy, n fully N accord
with the plans Of Lord Salisbury. and that the
only opponents are 70 be found among the
squirearchy element Of the Carlton Club. !"

A bicycle suit and the league souvenir badge
are all that is required for an Introduction be-
tween the various wheelmen, who, as a rule,
ere jolly good fellows, and it is declared by
knights Of the silent steed that the wheel il re-
sponsible for the good nature and genial feeling
which exists between them. Probably the
most interesting feature of the meet, az at all
bicycle meets, 10 the exchange of club and
division souvenirs, as well as the distribution
OF cycle companies Advertisements

banjo selections formed . pleasing part Of the
program.
Mr.. Bennett, with his two little children, two
and four years old, appeared in the club house
and the boys gave exhibitions on the wheels,
the elder giving fine exhibitions Of fancy
The Overman Wheel Band furnished music
for the occasion, making the program q lively
one.
More club members in bodies turned out at
the smoker than there have at any other affair
OF the meet thus far. The Chicago men in
their white suits and Chesapeakes Of Balti-
more In their attractive uniforms, as well as the
local Columbia Club, attracted more attention
than most of the others because Of their large
showing, and club yels enlivened the occasion,
and at midnight the wheelmen retired to be in
readiness for today's events.
ACTIVITY AT HEADQUARTERS.
About the L. A. W. headquarters at the
Ebhitt House there is constant moving about
OF the wheelmen, who are anxious to be on the
go all the time in order to take in ali they can
during their short stay here. Hundreds of
bicycles are constantly being moved to and fro
and stacked along the curbstone, against trees,
awning posts and telegraph poles, and little, If
any, damage has been sustained. The absence
OF the annoying bicycle thief has proved q
source of much gratitude, as has the fact that
the pneumatic tire cutter has only injured one
wheel.

THE GREAT PARADE.

A splendid Showing of the Cycisrs on the
Avenue Today.
The parade of the Lesgue of American Wheel
men this morning througed the streets along
the route with thousands of people. When il is
remembered that Washington is a city Of bicy-
elers and that to the people of the city bicycle
is a most common sight the league should well
feel comptmented. And it was & parade full of
interesting features and reflected no little credit
upon the organization. For the first time in
its history the annual parade of the league was
headed by detail of policemen mounted on
bicycles, and to the credit Of Washington is due
the distinction of being the first city TO mount
Its police officers on bicycles. This was the
feature Of the parade. and everywhere along the
line could be heard high praise Tor the District
Commissioners In their determination 10 keep
fully abreast Of the times. The men rode excel
lertly and showed perfect command of their
steeds- The men detailed for the purpose were
Oficers kinmell. Harti-an. KOpp. Oriani.
LYDIA. Sprinkle. Austin, Eaton, Marshall and ".
S. Parker, under command of the last named.
THE MILITARY CYCLISTS.
Another feature OF the parade was the Wash
ington Military Cyclists, an organization of
the National Guard of the District, and COM
posed Of forty men. under the command Of
Capt. E. r. Couch. Although organized but
seven months ago the corps evidenced their
military training in a high degree. and in their
white coats, helmets and blue pants made a
very attractive appearance. The corps was the
FIRST Of its kind in the United States.

A Sewer in Deering.

The committees on sewers of the Port
land and Deering city governments, City
Solicitors Lynch and Hopkins, and City
Engineer Jordan of Portland, met last
Saturday evening to consider the petit
ton of the Portland Railroad Company
for the construction of a sewer, 800 feet
east of Deering bridge. Mr.. Jordan
showed plans for the sewer, and his idea
was to have it follow the creek which di-
vides Portland from Deering. Then City
Solicitor Hopkins of Deering thought
Portland had no legal right to build a
sewer on land, half of which belonged to
Deering, but Solicitor Lynch thought she
had. Then long discussion arose,
whether, if built, who was to pay the
cost, and the meeting adjourned without
coming to any conclusion.

THE LONGsHoREMEN.
Mr.. Rounds Addresses Them on the EN-
ployers' Liability Act.

The members of the Portland Long
shoremen's Benevolent Association met
at their hall yesterday afternoon and lis
tened to an address by Mr.. Edgar E.
Rounds upon the subject of the Employ
ers' Liability Act, as enacted by the Mas
sachusetts Legislature. Mr.. Rounds
spoke very forcibly upon the subject,
and clearly presented his argument
why such a bill should be passed by our
own legislature. He also spoke of the
conspiracy act, arguing that it should be
struck out completely. Mr.. Rounds also
suggested that the Longshoremen's soci-
ETY. attach itself to the Central Labor
Union.
He was followed by Mr.. Healy, presi-
dent of the Central Labor Union, who
explained the misunderstanding which
existed concerning the union of the soci-
ETY. and the Central Labor Union. He
also spoke favorably Of the liability act
and denounced the obnoxious conspiracy
act.
Mr.. Leonard, of the Longshoremen,
was invited to make few remarks, and
expressed honest facts and sound judy
ment in connection with the 'sdelegatei'
business. He also suggested that the
Liability Act should have added to it,
shat no employe of corporation sued
shall be upon the jury impanelled to try
the case.''
Mr.. Williams spoke frankly in re-
gard to the conspiracy act, and clearly
expressed his condemnation of the act.
Mr.. Higgins, president of the Long
shoremen, made a few remarks, corrobo-
rating what had been said, and called for
declaration from those who favored the
Liability Act, and it was unanimous.
The matter of sending delegates from
the Longshoremen to the Central Labor
Union will come up before the regular
meeting of the Longshoremen next
Tuesday evening.
