LONDON, Nov. 9.-The appointment or
MIR. Gerald Balfour, tho Chief Secretary
for Ireland, TO use his influence 10 set
tie the troubles between the Belfast and
Clyde ship-builders and their employees
is directly due 10 the Admiraity's urgent
request. The Government has always
hitherto held aloof in labor disputes, but
it now claims the right to intervene. In
view of the delay that may probably
arise in existing contracts. Under Gov
ernment pressure. the employers Will De
compelled to either submit 10 arbitration
or accept the terms OF the men.
The conservative press, notably the
St. James Gazette, sides with the em-
ployes. holding that the Belfast strike
is simply a movement for return TO
the old wages, that were reduced under
the assent of the men while times were
bad.
The price OF consols has shaken dur
ing the week, as IL Great Britain was
on the eve OF war. Some authorities at
tribute the drop of 2 IL that has occurred
during the week partly to war fears.
Those knowing the exact character OF
conslos state that 1t Is due to number
less small fund-hoiders selling out 10
meet their losses in the South African
mining speculation. Strong spectators
have, as usual, skinned the small capt.
taiists who wanted to add something to
their little piles acquired by years OF
industry.
THE SPECULATION MANIA.
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. however. did not prevent
Sir Joseph RenaIs, the presena Lord
t.a.fa. lot
Thursday, at the Mansion-House. his Of
fetal residence, to MIR. Barney Barnato. the
| leader of the Kafiir circus. Sir Joseph's
reputation as a company promoter and
/ general guinea pig, very nearly pre-
| vented his election as chief magistrate OF
| the city OF London. His career since
| his election has justified the opposition
| shown TO his election 10 the office. The
! Times declares his banquet TO Mr. Bar
| nato as a warning TO incoming LORD
| Mayors what TO avoid. The Westminster
| Gazette said; Nowhere else than 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 describes the company as
| brilliant gathering In the first city OF
| the empire" The list OF guests in
| cludes Harry Marks. Isaac Lewis, Dan
| lei Marks, Woolf JOEL, Henry Barnato.
| Carl Meyer, Ham Abrams, Jonas Jonas,
| and several more Abrams. Jonases,
| Marks. and Lewises The Lord Mayor
| proclaimed Mr.. Barney Barnato, as
| a sort Of savior OF society. EVERY ma
| ton to it's taste" says the Westminster
! Gazette. athens proclaimed Themis-
! tocies it's savior; Rome, It's 'Quintus
| Fabius; Germany, its 'BarDarossa, ana
/ we have our Barnato."
| 1t is right to add that among his inti-
! mate friends Mr.. Barnato Is held In es-
| teen. Though he is a keen business man,
| he is very generous. 1T Is said that he
is now worth 100000 pounds.
PRINCE KARL AND PRIsctss MAUD.
| The Court will remove from Balmoral
| TO Windsor Castle on November 18th,
! when Prince Karl, OF Denmark, whose
| betrothal to Princess Maud, youngest
| daughter of the Prince of Wales, was re-
| Gently announced, will visit the queen
| The Prince and Princess of Wales, Prin-
| cess Maud. and other members or the
| Princes family will be present. Ine
| Queen will then give her formal assent
10 the marriage Of Prince Karl and Prin-
| cess Maud.
The change Of opinion I'm official circles
| regarding the immediate outbreak Of rev.
, olution or war in Turkey is traceable TO
| the expectation that the sultan designs
| IN soothe internal agitation by forming
| new constitution, containing the leading
principles OF Rifat Pasha's scheme. ON
| cial communications point to this, but
| at the same time the Sultan's intentions
| will do no more than put of the evil
| DAYS.
The Spectator, which at present speaks
| with q voice of greater authority than
| other English papers. holds that the sui
| tan cannot be trusted to effectively Srant
| protection. II says that the solution Of
| the situation lies I'm the power lying In
! certain Turkish provinces. or the deposi-
ton Of the Sultan and replacement OF him
by successor pledged to reign constitu-
! tionally The Spectator, I'm advocating
| that plan, says the best solution of the
| question is military occupation OF Turkey.
THE SPECTATORS PLAN.
II gives rather sensational plan or
! operaung through Bosnia, which country
| gives the readiest access to the heart OF
| Turkey Austria, y says, could without
| delay throw hundred thousand men into
| Macedonia who could march on TO SalO-
| MICA by an underlined line. Great Britain's
| share In the scheme would be in com
| maading the Salonica by the sea, and
| ioihtly with France. sending fleets
| through the straits Of Dardanelles to
| Constantinople, while Russia will CO.
! operate In Aremna. Though carrying
| out OF this plan would be tantamOunt
| 10 the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF the Turkish
| Empire the Spectator proceeds 20 say
| that EGrope's gigantic armaments could
! not be better employed than In restoring
| the East 10 the DOMAIN Of civilization
! The work" II says, " could be accom-
! plishcd within year, and twenty mill
| lions of men would he finally delivered
| from the destructive horde. which, since
IL came out OF Mongolia. has ever proved
| the most brutal influence IN the civilized
| world" The article concludes with the
declaration that the achievement would
! be we'll worth a certain war, for to do
| the Ottomans justice they are capable of
| facing the whole world in arms before
| submitting. But It is the only chance.
When the leading Unionist organ writes
| thus il Is evident that the time OF the
! Turks In Europe is obviously closing.
| Before the feud between the Healyites
| and Mccarthyites reached It's present
| climax, efforts 10 effect a reconciliation
| there were privately made by English
| Liberals, who were desirous OF prevent
| ing another Irish split. and secondly by
| certain Irish-catholic preiates. The Hea-
| Iyites resented the interference OF the
| Liberals. but placed themselves at tho
| di.nosal of the prelates, who in turn
round that the Mccar,hyites rejected their
| oyertures.
