London. Nov. 9.-(Special Cable Letter.) --The appointment of MT. Gerald Balfour, the chief secretary for Ireland, to use his influence to settle the troubles be- tween the Belfast and Clyde ship builders and their employees is directly due to the admiralty's agency. The government has always heretofore held aloof in labor disputes, but it now claims the right to intervene in view of the delay that may possibly .arise in existing contracts. Un- der government pressure the employers will be compelled to submit arbtra- tion or accept the terms of the men. The conservative press, notably the St. James Gazette, sides with the employees, holding that the Belfast strike is simply a move ment for a return to the old wages that were reduced under the assent of the men when times were bad.
 The prices of consols have shaken dur ing the week as if Great Britain was on the eve of war Some of the authorities attribute the drop of 212 that has oc- cured during the week partly to war fears. Those knowing the exact charac- ter of consol sales state that 1t Is due to numberless small fund holders selling out
 
 mining speculation. Strong spectators have, as usual, skinned the small capi- talists who wanted to add something to their little piles acquired by industry. Many English households have a black winter to look forward to owing to the mania of speculation that turned the heads of their bread winners.
 These considerations did not prevent Sir Joseph Renals, the present lord mayor of London. from giving banquet Thurs day at the mansion house, his official residence, to MT. Barney Barnato, the leader of the Kaf1ir circus. Sir Joseph's reputation as a company promoter and general guinea pig very nearly prevented his election as chief magistrate of the city of London. His career since his election has found the opposition shown to his selection for the office. The Times de- scribes his banquet to MT. Barnato as warning to the incoming lord mayors to avoid.
 The Westminster Gazette said: "No- where else in Great Britain would such a gathering have been possible"
 The representatives of important banks and firms refused to attend the banquet, although the lord mayor described the company as brilliant gathering in the first city of the empire"
 The list of guests included Henry Marks, Isaac Lewis. Daniel Marks, Woolf Joel, Henry Barnato, Carl Meyer, Ham Abrahams, Jonas Jonas, and sev- eral more Abrahams. Jonases, Marks and Lewises. The lord mayor proclaimed MT. Barnato as a sort of saviour of society.
 Every nation to it's taste." says the Westminster Gazette. Athens pro- claimed Themistocles it's savior; Rome its Quintus; Germany its Bararoso, and we have our Barnato."
 It is right to add that among his inti- mate friends Barnato Is held in esteem. FTNl-- lrAA lx,,ot r. t.- very generous. It is said that he Is worth f14,000,000.
 The court will remove Balmoral to Windsor castle on November 15. when Prince Karl of Denmark. whose betrothal to Princess Maud the youngest daughter of the Prince of Wales, was recently an- nounced, will visit the queen The Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Maud and other members of the princes family will be present. The queen will then give her formal assent to the marriage of Prince Karl and Princess Maud
 The change of opinion in official circles regarding the imminent revolution or war in Turkey is traceable to the expecta- ton that the sultan desired to sooth in- ternational agitation by promulgating a new constitution, embodying the leading principle of Mid Pasha's scheme. Official communications point 10 this, but al the same time the sultan's intentions will do 
 The Spectator, which al present speaks with a voice of greater authority than any other English paper. holds that the sultan cannot be trusted to effectively grant constitution. II says that the so- lution of the situation lies in either the powers occupying certain Turkish prov inces or the deposition of the sultan and replacement of him by a successor pledged to reign constitutionally. The Spectator in advocating that the best solution of the question Is military 0c- cupation, sketches a rather sensational plan of operations through Bosnia. which country gives the readiest access to the heart of Turkey. Austria, it says, could without delay throw 100000 men into Macedonia who could march onto Salon. lea by an undefended line. Great Brit aims share in the work would be com manding Saionica by the sea. and. jointly with France, sending fleets through the straits of Dardanelles to Constantinople, while Russia will cooperate with Ar menia. True, the carrying out of this plan would be tantamount to the dismem- berment of the Turkish empire, the Spec tator proceeds to say that Europe's gi- gantic armaments could not be better employed than in restoring the east to the domain of civilization. The work, 1t says, could be accomplished within year and 10000 900 of men would be finally delivered from the destructive horde, which, since 1t came out Of Mongolia, has ever proved the most brutal influence in the civilized world. The article con- cludes with the declaration that the achievement would be we'll worth a cer- tain war, for to do this Ottamon's jus tice they are capable of facing the whole world in arms before submitting. But 1t Is the only chance.
 When the leading unionist organ writes thus 1t is evident that the time for the Turks in Europe is obviously closing
