LONDON, Oct. 26.-The war scare caused
by the dispatch to the Times from Hong
kong, published on Friday morning, making
public the concessions said to have been
granted by China to Russia. including the
right to build railroads which would connect
Vladivostock with Port Arthur and the privi-
lege of anchorng a fleet at the latter place,
was the main feature of interest in the
political world during the past week, although
the Venezuelan dispute with Great Britain
attracted much attention.
The far eastern developments are most Sc
rious If the Times correspondent has been
well informed and the end OF the Venezu-
elan affair is not in sight unless the present
outward signs are deceiving, The Speaker
today, alluding to the Venezuelan question,
makes light of the intervention of the United
States in the matter, and says: THE bluster
of portion Of the American press need not
be taken very seriously, inasmuch as the
press has been clustering, with better cause,
against us for the last sixty years. 1t is
true that this buster now derives significance
from the fact that America now has a navy
and a group of naval Chauynlsts. She also
has manufacturers whom protection has slim
uated to overproduction and who want a
market for their surplus goods. But these
considerations apply to the case OF Cuba
with far more force than 20 Venezuela, and
1t looks as If the mass Of Americans thought
that in the latter case, at any rate, they did
not apply ct all
The special dispatches from London In re-
gard to Venezuela have stirred up the British
foreign office, as well as the United States
ambassador, Hon. Thomas F., Baye<,i, as they
have been freely recalled 10 the London
Times. The marquis of Sa.ish,ry, who was
at Hatfield house, personally Sent contra
dction Of the report that an unpleasant in
terview had taken place belweer himself
and Mr. Bayard, and it was upon this that
the Times denial of the report WAS based.
The marquis of Salisbury's words in making
the denial were: Lord Salisbury made no
such observations to Mr. Bayard as are
stated, nor has he yet sent any reply in
writing Of any kind to the United States
communication.
Mr.. Justin McCarthy's rejection of the
Plunkett scheme to bring about harmony
in the Irish party by calling conference
of it's members of all shades of opinion to de-
eide upon the measures to be brought for
ward for the benefit of Ireland is not cal
culated to inspire belief in ,he Mccarthy
ties sincerity to do their utmost for that
country. Mr.. Plunkett's proposal. was one
which, it is claimed, might have been &C
cepted by every Irish politician, as he did
not ask one of them to relnquish his own
views of the political question, but he simply
wanted to devise means to help the Irish
tenant to get his produce 1n the market at
a remunerative price. The Redmondites were
willing to accept the invitation The coLser-
vative newspapers naturally sly the Nc
Carthyites prefer the poverty stricken Ire
land which keeps the home rule agitation
alive to prosperous country which would rot
do so.
The attempts to grow tobacco In England
were still persisted in this wear in spite of
the failure Of the crops Of 1894, and have
much improved results. Mr.. Fiennes s. w.
CORVALLIS of Linton Park, formerly MEM
Der of Parliament for Maidstone, and Mr..
G. ii. Brassey, Preston Hall, have been grow
ing some and it is now dried. Mr.. CORVALLIS
has written a letter to the newspapers In
which he say that he expeets preaentable
tobacco will reproduced by this years crop.
He adds shat If the growth cf tobacco is
legalzed in England there will be a large
reduction in duty which the home growers
will have made. Then, however, the
low grade tobacco might easily be grown
on exhausted land and limited to a suitable
area in order to prevent extensive cultiva-
tion.

arranged, is twelve feet in circumference.
The scientists of the National Historical So
clety museum, who have been In touch with
Donaldson Smith OF Philadelphia, show that
considerable anxiety continues to be following
the absence Of all news either from him or
his Abyssinian expedition. Dr. Gregory Who
has recently explored that part of the coun.
try where Smith is travelilg said that the
expedition was in a very hihieult country,
surrounded by disturbed Districts, and II
he was caught in this seotbn it would ac-
count for the absence Of neVs.
The autumn theatrical season is to be the

puted unucky theaters, like, the Royalty and
the Duke of York's, sesm to have shaken

pire theater, Alhambra add other music
halls, and compelling tie Palace theater to
accept a conditional hcense preventing IL
