DID THE IRISH sULK.
Charge of Sort Suggested Against
Troops in India.

LONDON, October 29.-The Daily
Chronicle this morning prints sensa-
tional telegram from Bombay, which
says:
There is much speculation here as TO
the reasons for the withdrawal of the
Second Battalion of the Royal Irish Reg
iment from Samana to Rawalpindi. 1t is
asserted. on one hand. that the men
sulked at a critical moment, and refused
TO march further. On the other hand.
Colonel Lawrence says that two COM
panies were at the front. with the other
troops. on the day in question. while the
remaining companies were retired by
order OF a staff officer This latter state
ment is contradlcted from headquarters
bv the assertion that the. order was TO
advance and not to retire.
when the entire battalion was with
drawn to Rawalpindi General Sir Yeat-
man Biggs gave as a reason that it was
saturated with malaria. A medical ex-
animation was demanded, and this de-
veloped the fact that S per cent. OF the
men were quite healthy.
commenting upon this dispatch, the
DaiIv Chronicle says: Evidently. some
hodv has blundered. and the case is one
that demands inquiry. 1t is singular
fact that while there are numerous
scotch battalions on the Northwestern
indian frontier. there are only one or two
Irish battalions."

EDIsoNs LATEST DISCOVERY.
Recovering by Electricity the Iron
in LOw-Grnde Ores.

NEW YORK, October 23.--Thomas A
Edison's newly-discovered process OF re-
covering by electrical means the iron
contained in Iow-grade ores. the first
authoritative account OF which is publish
ed in the Electrical Review, will un-
doubtedly have a far-reaching effect upon
the iron industry throughout the world.
For the past six years Mr.. Edison has
been working quietly and steadily to
solve the problem which has so much
commercial Importance in this Industrial
field. His experiments have been carried
on at the old Ogden iron-mines, few
miles from Dover. N j., and he has spent
about 10000 of his own money TO achieve
success.
The plant where the new process was
first tried, and then brought to perfec-
tion, covers several acres of ground, ana
is part Of a tract of some 5000 acres OF
mountain land which Mr.. Edison says
contains 200 10000 tons of low-grade ore,
and from which he declares. by this new
process, 50,O00OOO tons of iron can be pro-
duced. His plant, though more of an ex-
pertinent station than a commercial en-
terprise. is to-day capable Of producing
daily from ] 900 TO 1.500 tons of almost
chemically pure iron.
The extent of Mr.. Edison's operations
may be judged from the fact that ne
states that he now controls all the known
tracts OF magnetic, this low-grade ore,
in the United States Despite the strain
of working out his hundreds of ideas, and
applying them TO practical purposes, MT
Edison has had time to purchase large
blocks of land until he has now accumu-
lated 1900 acres situated in New YORK.
New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
Like the majority of his inventions, this
latest achievement of Mr.. Edson's is
comparatively simple. 1t consists in ap-
plying the principle Of the magnet, but
on a tremendous scale. By this means ne
draws the little black particles of ore
from the pulverized rock. From the time
the ore Is blasted until II is resolved into
this metallic form and compressed into
briquettes for shipment, the process is
entirely automatic.

THE BIMETALLIC NEGOTIATIONS.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach on Great
Britain's Position.

LONDON, October 2S.-Sir Michael
Hicks-B Beach, Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, speaking at Bristol this evening,
reviewed at length the history Of the re-
cent currency negotiations between
Great Britain, the United States. and
Frarce. The Chancellor of the Exche-
quer said that he thought the decision
OF the Indian Government not to open
the mints perfectly right. That view
might not be shared, he observed, by all
his colleagues in the Cabinet; but they
were unanimous as TO the impossiblity
of overruling India's decision.
The government was pledged TO main
tain the gold standard, and had treated
the subject, not in the light of such
theoretical opinion as members OF the
government might hold, but as practical
statesmen, and they had arrived at
conclusion which they would be able,
IL challenged to justify before Parlia-
ment or the country.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer de-
Tended the policy of the governor Of the
Bank of England on the question of
silver reserve, declaring that the COVER
nor had adopted a proper and cautious
attitude.
With reference to India's reply, he ex-
pressed his doubts whether the gold
standard could be adopted in India as
vet. and he said he wished the indian
Government had more clearly stated the
ground for its belief that the gold stand
ard could be more effective.

BrsHop-ELEcr GIBSON HERE.
1t IL Possible That He May Preach
at Monumental Church Sunday.

Rev. DR.. Robert A. Gibson. Bishop-Co-
adtutor-elect Of the Diocese Of Virginia,
arrived in Richmond from Staunton yes
terday, and while his coming was not OK
pected or generally known. he was be-
sieged with callers throughout the after
noon and evening at his new home, NO.
sls FLOYD avenue.
TO all who called t6 see him the Bishop
elect was hospitable and gracious. and
his charming wife assisted him in re-
ceiving their friends. DR.. Gibson said
that he looked forward with a great de-
gree OF reverence and pride to his conse-
Grafton next Wednesday. and that he ap-
preciated most highly the distinguished
honor that the Church had conferred upon
him. Speaking of mis- movements be-
tween now and the day of his consecra-
ton, DR.. Gibson said that he did not
know where he would spend the time.
He expects to go over TO Petersburg to-
day, and has been urged TO preach at The
Monumental church on Sunday, but he
has not yet decided TO do so. DIR. Gibson
feels that he should have n few days OF
rest before his conservation. and 1t Is
hardly probable that he will be heard at
the Monumental day after tomorrow
The details for the impressive service OF
Wednesday next have all been arranged.

GEORGES GINGER. .
CHARGES OF BLACKMAIL IN CON-
NECTION WITH JUDGEsHIPs.
ALLEGATION TOUCHING PRYOR.
II Is Met With a Categorical Denial
Suggestion Of Proceedings Against
George for LibeI-Much Personal
Talk.

NEW YORK. October 2S.-Henry George
is supplying the greater part of the
ginger" that is being consumed in the
municipal campaign. His allegations
touching the integrity Of the recognized
chiefs of both the leading parties are ex-
citing wide interest, though they are met
by those most directly concerned with
showing of indifference that does credit
to their capacity sor going unruffied
through a political campaign Of football
ferocity.
The most specific Of Mr.. Georges allie
cations are that Roger A. Pryor paid
Richard Croker $4,000 for the judgeshlp
the former holds; that 500 900 was paid
for seat upon the bench for Judge In
graham, and that other judicial offices
were made the object Of barter by the
so-called political bosses.
Judge Pryor has made a categorical
denial that ne ever paid, or caused to
be paid, directly or indirectly, any sum
whatsoever for the nomination. and
like denial has been made by others Of
>
tions.
That judgeships come high" is. how
ever, a fact well known and freely ad-
mitted. The sworn statement of elec-
ton expenses on file in the County Clerks
Office show that since the law requiring
itemiZed statements of such expenses
went into effect the following sums have
been so paid: BY Judge McAdams. $4,000;
Wy Judge Pryor. sl0,5O0; by Judge Ingra-
ham, $1,000; by Judge Newberger. s6,lS5;
by Judge Enrich. $3.50; by Judge Smythe.
5000. and by other judges sums below
this amount down to s2l0. These sums,
it should be made clear. are for so-called
legitimate election expenses.
George alleges that in addition to the
sums admitted to have been paid, as
above. the judges have been blackmailed
out Of other and in some instances larger
sums. 1t is for this alleged extortion
or blackmail, and for other kindred Of
fences, which he asserts have been prac-
ticed, that George threatens Croker and
Platt with the penitentiary
Possibly because of the latitude fire.
quently allowed in political campaigns,
there has been no move TO proceed against
George for libel.
If George is doing a great deal of talk
ing, So however, are Tracy and Low.
though the latter are less sensational
and personal in their utterances. The
only exception to the rule among the
mayoralty candidates is Van Wyck,
whose star speech, delivered last night
before the Tammany Hall Democracy,
was limited to thirty words Of COM
monplace expression Of hearty greet
ing.

Not Breed an Issue.
WASHINGTON, October 2S-The Span
ish reply to Minister Woodford's note
concerning Cuba, which was received
here yesterday, will be laid before the
Cabinet at the regular meeting to-mor-
row. Meantime, the members of the
Presidents official family have not seen
the message. 1t has. however, been talk
ed OF informally between the President
and several of the Cabinet Ministers. and
it may be stated positively that the ad-
ministration regards the note. so far as
it's tenor is ascertained by the abstract
cabled by Minister Woodford, as being
conciliatory, and not calculated to breed
an issue. It can also be stated that
qualification is felt that the answer was
forthcoming within so short period OF
time after the delivery OF Mr.. Wood
ford's note, having regard to the inter-
ventlon Of the Spanish Cabinet crisis and
change.
The acts already performed by the new
Cabinet towards a correction of some of
the evils of which complaint is made In
Cuba are regarded as an earnest of the
intention Of the Spanish Government to
faithfully carry out the entire reform
programme, and, If there should be a
speedy elimination of the frightful con-
ditions of the unfortunate "reconcen-
tradoes" in Cuba, through a prompt revo-
cation Of weyler's concentration order, 1t
IS felt that our government will have
little further to ask.
