C0BDEN CLUB.
EngIand's Trade Relations Dis
cussed at It's Annual Meeting.


LONDON, Nov. 24-The annual
meeting Of the Golden club took place
this afternoon, Lord Farrer, of Abin-
ger, presiding. There were only 35
members of the club present, including
Fisher Unwin, Sir Wilfred Lawson,
Shaw-LeFevre and Sir Henry Rosco.
Lord Farrar reviewed at length the
relations of Great Britain with the
other powers in regard to free trade,
and said: 1.-THE most important event
Of the year is McKinley's election. He
was the man Cobdenites thought the
worst that could be selected, until
Bryan was nominated, and we do not
disguise our delight at McKiEley's
election. We shall await his action re-
garding protection"
Lord Playfair explained at length the
issues Of the campaign In the United
States, said free trade had not any
part in 1t, and showed the club mem
bers present a dollar which, he said,
contained 100 cents worth Of silver, and
contrasted it with another dollar
Which he produced containing 81 cents
worth Of silver. These coins, when
passed among the audience, created
amusement
In the course of his remarks, Lord
Playfair said: when 1 arrived in
America in August last, the mills were
all closed, and when I left thew were
all running and every man was en-
ployed. I talked with many manufac-
turers, who claim that the Wilson tariff
is good enough. They said that they
did not desire change and thought
that a return to high protection was
not likely, because Mckinley was elect
ed by all parties"
Throughout the speech Lord Play
fair (whose wife was a Miss Russell
of Boston, Mass) referred to Mr.
Bryan as Bryant"
The committees report for 1855 was
read. 1t speaks Of the tendency of the
Conservatives in the direction Of pro-
lection and the need Of increased zeal
on the part Of the Cobdenites The re-
port quotes Canadian and other colon
ial statesmen against the plan Of Mr..
Chamberlain, the secretary Of state for
the colonies, for the. establishment of
an Imperial zolverein, and denounces
the cattle bill of last session as a
measure Of protection. 1t regards the
Canadian election as most encouraging
to free traders and expresses the hope
that the circumstances under which the
election was fought in the United
States will avert injury to interna-
tional trade which might otherwise be
expected from the election of McKin-
ley"

COMPETITOR CoURTMARTIAL.
Hearing Not 81 Trial, but a PreIim.
mary Inquiry


WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The state
department has received absolutely no
information of any kind from Ha-
vana or elsewhere concerning the re-
port that the Competitor prisoners have
been tried in Morro castle by secret
and summary courtmartial
From further Inquiries, it is appa-
rent that the reports concerning the
competitors prisoners are at least
based on misconception of the nature
OF the present proceedings They have
not yet been placed on trial in the gen
eral sense of the word, the facts being
that the Spanish authorities are maxi
ing an investigation of the Competitor
cases similar to that provided for un-
der our grand jury system, that is. a
sort Of preliminary examination. The
-conSuls and vice conSuls of Spain in
this country are investigating the
claims Of the persons arrested to
American citizenship.
Consul General Lee was at the state
department today. When asked as to
the report that the Competitors pris-
oners had been tried at Morro castle,
contrary to protest made by him
before he left Havana, Gen. Lee said:
I do not believe any trial has oc-
CURED. If 1t had the facts would
speedily be reported here by Vice
Consul Springer. There have been
some preliminary steps towards the
trial, and the depositions Of the prfs-
oners were taken, but further than
this nothing has been done so far as
know"
When Gen. Lee was asked as to the
protest referred to as having been
made by him, he said it probably re-
ferred to the representations made by
him before the first trial of the Com
petitor's prisoners and renewed in the
present instance; that the men being
taken on an American ship were en-
titled to civil trial rather than a
trial by court martial, as provided in
the treaty and protocol between the
United States and Spain.

THANKSGIVING TURKEYS.
They Continue to Roll In on the
President-EIect.

CANTON, O., Nov. 24.-An impromptu
musicale was held at the Mckinley
home this evening. The Boston Ladies'
Symphony orchestra was in the city
and called at the Mckinley home dur
ing the afternoon. Mrs. Mckinley re-.
ceived the visitors in her parlors and
in company with the major, his secre-
terles who were st the house and the
callers who happened to be there at the
time, heard half-dozen or more Sc
lections. This evening Maj and Mrs
Mckinley, with a number of friends
were guests at dinner at the home OF
Mrs. Ella L. Hawk, in honor. Of her
son, William Hawk, of the Hotel Man
haitian, New York city.
The Thanksgiving turkeys continue
to come. A fine gobbler came from
Illinois this evening in a crate marked,
His Name Is Hanna" A Kansas-fed
fowl arrived this morning and mes
So ge announced that the largest turkey
ever raised In Rhode Island had been
started towards Canton.
Col. H. A. Dupont, OF Delaware, who
was a factor in the great senatorial
contest in that state several months
ago, came here this evening to call on
the major, and left during the night

CANADA ON GUARD
To Prevent the Escape of Any Fill
clustering Party.

HALIFAX, N. s., Nov. 24.-Although
the Canadian authorities at this port
profess to believe that the steamer
Bermuda VIII not attempt to carry a
cargo Of arms and ammunition to the
insurgents in Cuba, precautions are be-
ing taken to prevent the vessel from
fitting out for any such expedition in
Canadian waters. 1t was learned to-
day that the Spanish consul general
at Montreal, in the interests of his gov
ernment, last night notified Hon. L. H
Davies, minister Of marine and fisher
les at Ottawa, that the Bermuda had
carried a filibustertng expedition to
Cuba, and today the registrar Of ship
ping here received telegram from
Mr.. Davies requesting him to exercise
the utmost caution to prevent an ex-
pedition Of this character from leaving
this port The fact that the vessel Is
lying deep in the water, it is believed,
led the consul general at Montreal to
communicate with the government. The
Spanish consul at this port is also
watching the vessel.
A customs official has made thor
ough search Of the Bermuda and re-
ports everything aboard her all right
The steamer was to load apples for
London, but this has been abandened
and she has been chartered for a
round trip to Jamaica,
