IS UNABLE TO STOP II
Salisbury Says England Cannot
Interfere.
HER POWER Is LIMITED
He Il an Entire Advocate of the Monroe
Doctrine, but Not of Americas
Inierpre tation.

London, Feb. lin spite of social and
political gloom there has been a revival
of political activity, due to the ap-
proach of the assembling of parlla-
ment. Several speeches were delivered
during the week, notably that of the
marquis of Salisbury at the meeting of
the non-conformist unionists on Friday.
On the whole the marquis is said to
have disappointed his warmest admir-
ers, especially in his exposure Of the
weakness of Great Britain in the east
and in his explanations of her reasons
for nOn-interference in Armenia.
His repeated acceptance of the Mon
roe doctrine, however, shows that the
common-sense policy advocated by
Gladstone in the treatment of the Ven
ezuelan question is finding root in high
quarters, and this is a most timely
showing, for public sentiment is becom-
ing strongly opposed to the premier's
attitude toward America, North as we'll
as South.
The Right Hon. George Goschen, first
lord of the admiralty, will, it is an
nounced, move the address in the house
of commons in reply TO the queens
speech at the opening of parliament,
and Sir John Maxwell will second his
action. The stand taken by the gov
eminent in regard to the Venezuelan
and Armenian questions will be chal-
lenged by the liberals.
The work of the session includes the
discussion of the foreign and colonial
policy of the government, especially
regarding the Transvaal, Venezuela
and Armenia, and the latter subject
promises 10 provide much interesting
reading, in view of the admissions of
Great Britain's weakness which the
marquis of Salisbury made last eve
ming and which, it is claimed, show that
there has been a complete failure of
British diplomacy.

RULING OF NATIONAL lMpoRTANcr
commissioners OF Other States Have M
Standing iii Illinois.


Chicago, Feb. 1.-The judiciary of the
respective states and territories and
members of the legal fraternity
throughout the country will be inter.
ested in an important development that
under a recent decision Of the state su
preme court and which until now has
been overlooked, commissioners as
signed by the courts of other states to
take testimony in Illinois have no locus
standi in this state, nor can such power
or authority be conferred up them by
any court of record.
This condition Of affairs has been en-
phasized in the decision of judge of
the circuit court in a case wherein
commissioner from Kentucky appoint
ed to take testimony concerning an in
solvent fire insurance company report
ed to the court that an important wit.
ness, and by whose evidence it was
sought to establish that the insolvency
had been brought about by criminal ac-
tons, refused to be examined, and was
therefore liable for contempt in accord
ance with established law and prece-
dent. The court, however, before rem
dering a decision, looked up recent au-
thorities, and as result discovered
that under the decision in question the
commissioner had no authority to take
testimony, and the court no authority
to compel a witness to testify.
This decision makes a break In the
comfy Of universal recognition between
the states in matters Of law, and is only
paralleled by the refusal Of the high
court Of probate in London to recognize
American divorces. Inasmuch as there
is scarcely a week in the year that Chi
cago Is not visited by a commissioner
from another state for the purpose OF
taking testimony, while Chicago COM
missioners are continuously going into
other states for the same purposes, the
ruling Of the Illinois supreme court, and
now for the first time made public,
promises to become of national import
ance.

Fact Developed That Banks Hold Qusn.
titles Under Weight.

New York, Jan. 31.--As the day APP
proaches for the closing at Washington
Of the list for the new bond issue, local
bankers are being deluged with in
quiries from their correspondent banks
throughout the country some of whom
are anxious to know whether they will
be given assistance in securing gold,
and also whether the local banks will
bid in their behalf. This correspond
ence has also developed the fact that
there is an immense amount Of gold
coin slightly under weight in curcula-
ton, and the holders of which would
be glad to exchange for bonds, If the
government will agree to accept 1t.

ex-EMPREsS FREDERICK ON A VISIT
Stay With Her Mother, Queen Victoria.
presagcs Peace With Germany.

London, Jan. 31.-The eX-Empress
Frederick, mother of Emperor William
has arrived at Osborne House of the
Isle of Wight, on a visit to her mother,
Queen Victoria. This visit was arrang-
ed for prior to the note of defiance
against England by the emperor during
the Transvaal crisis, but it is under
stood that she brings a message of good
will from her son, and which, taken in
connection with the sympathetic tele-
gram of coincidence sent by the emperor
to the royal family Immediately upon
the announcement Of the death of
Prince Henry of Battenberg, will, 1t is
believed, have a tendency toward still
further dissipating the strained rela-
tions that have existed between the two
imperial families since the young en-
peror went off on a tangent.

SAY THE TURKS ARE BARBARIAN6
Petition Signed by rs Episcopal Bishops
Sent 10 President cleveland.

New York, Feb. 2.-The World this
morning says that a petition signed by
As bishops of the Episcopal church in
the United States has been mailed to
President Cleveland. The petition calls
attention to the atrocities in Armenia,
and says:
I'VE feel profoundly that our nation
should cease to recognize the Turkish
government as a civilized power so long
as it's barbarous treatment of the Ar
menians continues, and that it should
bring every influence to bear upon the
civilized nations of Europe which may
cause them to present a uniform front
in demanding that such atrocities cease
at once and forever"
A similar communication is to be sent
to the archbishop of Canterbury, the
car of Russia, the emperor Of Austria
and the emperor of Germany.
