GUILD HALL BANQUET,
Addresses by Earl Spencer, Lord
Kimberley and Minister Ravar6

Addresses by Earl Spencer, Lord
Kimberley and Minister Bayard.
LONDON. Nov AT the lord mayor's
banquet at the Guild hall this evening
Earl Spencer, first lord of the admiralty,
replied to the toast to the navy. He
said that the government was deter
mined to develop the navy. and to
maintain England'S supremacy on the
sea. 1t was the intention to make the
navy efficient enough. not only to de-
fend the shores of Great Britain, but
the distant colonies and English COM
merce in every part of the globe. Earl
Spencer paid glowing tribute to the
courage and discipline of the brave men
who lost their lives by the sinking of
the battleship Victoria.
The toast to the ministers. in the alb
sence of Mr.. Gladstone and Lord Rose
berry, was responded to by the Earl of
Kimberley, lord president of the coun-
Gil and secretary for India. Lord Kim
berley said the foreign relations of
Great Britain were friendly, but the
government could not contemplate the
increase in the number of armed bat
taiIons OF the countries of Europe, which

There is very different state of
things in another continent" continued
Lord Kimberley. 1--WE have nothing to
fear from our friends and brethren on
the American continent. We and they
have given many signal proofs that the
dissenslons between great nations, and
there are no greater nations than the
GREAT AMERICAN REPUPLIC
and our own, can be settled without the
arbitrament Of war. No better augury
could be obtained for the continuance
of these cherished relations between us
and the great republic than the recent
settlement Of the Behring sea dispute.
l am glad to see the distinguished
American ambassador with us. can
assure him that our feelings for his
country, always friendly, have been
greatly augmented by that most au-
spicious event"
LordKimberley referred to the recent
reception of the British fleet in Italian
ports, and then reverted to Spain, which
he declared was in hearty sympathy

Anti Race Track People Sweep

y
TRENTON, n. j., Nov. 9.-As the COM
pleted returns are filed the Republican
victory in New Jersey grows in magni-
tude. The next assembly will be Re-
publican by a two thirds vote, the
figures standing: Republicans 40. DEM
ocratS 20. The senate, as already re-
ported, will be made up of eleven Re-
puDlicans and ten Democrats.
The state issue on the race tracks en-
tered the local contests for the shriev-
ality. In eighteen out of twenty-one
counties in the state the Republican and
anti-race track people have elected
Sherltfs who will preside at the wheels
of the grand juries for three years to
come.
he terms of six senators, all Demo-
Gratis, expire next year, and the Repub-
Icans are sure to elect the successors in
many instances. If their opponents re-
elect ali SIX, the Republicans will still
retain the senate. A Republican sue
cessor to Senator Mcpherson, whose
term expires in 1895, will be chosen by
the next legislature. The corrected re-
turns elect five more Republican as
semblymen than were announced YES
terday.
Republicans propose to investigate
the citizenship of William K. Thomp-
son, the Duke OF Gloucester" and
owner of the race track at Gloucester.
1t is alleged that he has never been
naturallZed, and if this proves to be the
case he will be deprived of his seat in
the lower house.

BosTON, Mass, Nov. 9.-The consen-

with leading Massachusetts Republicans
seems to point toward the states choice
of William Mckinley, of Ohio, as the
next Republican candidate for presi-
dent. The only other candidate men,

would be the choice of the old Bay

NEW YORK, Nov. 9. - Ex-senator

Never during my experience in politics

cry of the ballot as in the districts con-
trolled by the Democratic state and
Tammany Hall machines. In Albany,
where Hill has made his home, the cleo

HEAVY FIRING.
Rombarding OF Rio Con tinue-
Recent Powder EXnIOSiOn

Rombarding OF Rio Con tinue-.
Recent Powder Explosion.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1O,-The World
publishes the following special cable
dispatch from Buenos Ayres. dated
Nov. 8: The bombarding OF Rio has
been kept up since Tuesday. The fort at
Nichteroy fired upon and sank one
of Mello's torpedo boats yesterday
NichterOy and Fort Villegagnon have
been much damaged by shells. ALI
though various explanations have been
made to account for the explosion OF
the powder magazine on Governados
island, the real cause is left in
mystery. Mello's guards, unless there
was a traitor among them, would
not have nred it purposely. The bots
tom falls out of the story that
PeiXotO's men were on duty there and
acting under orders, blew it up on see
ing the British sailors land, miStalling
them for Mello's men, because it was an
inSurgent magazine.
The most plausible explanation ad.
vanced is that some of PeiXote's guns
nerS, seeing the British sailors land on
GOvernados island, thought that Ehey
were detachment of Mel,
los marines after powder and
ignited the vast store of powder. The,
explosion was terrific. In fact
there was a succession of violent
shocks and every reminder of a
furious volcanic eruption. The
ground about the harbor heaved
and trembled for hours while immensa
volumes Of fame and smoke shot
into the clouds. The detonation was
heard for miles. Great damage was
done in the city of Rio, especially
in the way of shattered doors,
windows and skylights. This magazine
was the principal stOrehouse OF ammuI
milton for the rebel fleet. The loss ID
felt all tue more because four of theii
magazines have been blown up within a
week.
Late in the afternoon of the same day
there was heavy cannonading between
Yillegagnon and the bar forts for three
hours. After darkness set in the
light in the st. John guided
the gunners in aiming the heavy
cannon. The insurgents replied to the
fire without seeming to take aim, and
apparently went wild over the loss of
powder magazines. These losses OF
supplies and ammunition no doubt had
an influence i'll deciding Mello to try ID
wind up the war speedily.

that the Matabeles had again attacked

The attack lasted an hour, at the end
of which time the enemy was com

on the British side was only three killed
and seven wounded. =
