NEGATIVE SALISBURY
BIZ Cablc 10 the intel Press.

LONDON, July 3O 1S95.-Lord Salisbury
presided over the Cabinet meeting which
was held at the Foreign Office at noon
today The meeting was short, the bust
ness before it being confined to consld-
Grafton of the Queens speech, which, it
is understood. is very brief and contains
few if any recommendations. 1t is stated
upon good authority that the document
merely summons Parliament to meet and
consider the matter of voting supplies,
leaving the details of the policy of the
new government to be presented at the
next session.
The feeling in regard to the choice of
a Speaker of the House of Commons for
the next Parliament is decidedly in favor
of Mr.. Gully
The Parliamentary election in the
East Division of Donegal yesterday re-
suited in the return of DR.. Arthur O'Con-
nor. Nationalist. by vote of 1888 to 2.731
for Mr. E. T. Herdman, Conservative.
,Ir. O'Connors majority in 1892 was 1853.
Londonderry County, South Division
Mr.. 7. Les. Unionist, 4,47O; Dodd. Liberal,
4060. In 1892 Less majority SOL.
The returns from the elections in the
East Division of Donegal and the South
Division of Londonderry were announced
today. The former elected Arthur O'Con
nor. Nationalist, and the latter Sir T.
Lee. Unionist. Both sat in the last Par
lament so there is no change in the
representation for these constituencies.
But one election is to take place now
that in Orkney and Shetland. 1t will
not occur until the 9Th of August, but
as a Liberal was chosen in that district
in the last election by 1908 majority, it
is fair to assume that the next member
will be a Liberal also. Therefore, CIV
ing that seat to the Liberals, the new
Parliament will be composed OF 338 Con-
servatives 73 Liberal-Unionists, 1T Lib
erals. 70 McCarthyites and IL Parnellites.

ers at Wallhalla Hall was crowded by a
throng of fully 1000 men and women
this morning. The crowd filled the build
ing and blocked the street in front of the
hall.
The crowd was for the most part very
orderly. A mass meeting will be held
in Walhalla Hall this afternoon. Mem
bers of the Executive Board will ad-
dress the meeting.
Great preparations are being made fol
the mass meeting to be held at Cooper
Institute tonight.

and provision has been made for severa
overflow meetings The Twenty-fourtt

vide music for the occasion
