BULLER's MESSAGE.
It is Still the Subject of Comment
 in London.

III <@Ou0OA'
 London. Nov. 2.-The exact terms In which General Butler, who continues to monopolize conversation in England, ad- vised General White to surrender Lady smith, are not yet published, nor are they likely to be in the near future. The National Reviews version of the message, while correct in substance, Is incorrect textually. The War Office Is blamed for allowing a libel to be circulated on the man it has already so severely disciplin- ed; but as a matter of fact, the question of the publication of all the dispatches relating to General Buffers attempt to relieve Ladysmith has now passed out of War Secretary Brodericks hands and will be shortly dealt with by the cabinet.
 Lord Raglan, the Under Secretary of War. pointed out to a representative of the Associated Press that 1t would be eminently unfair to publish this one dis patch which has so much stirred up General Butler, his critics and tn, coun- try, without publishing others which are vital to an understanding of the one on which the national controversy hinges To publish the hundreds of messages now on file at the War Office directly bearing or the subject means revealing to the public secrets never intended to be made known and the implication of persons who have so far escaped any odium,
 It is probable that the War Office will take absolutely no action in the matter until Parliament reassembles. when an official paper will be ready to answer the request which Is sure to be made to have these dispatches placed before the House of Commons. General Butler so far has not asked that this be done. and the of- ficial view of the case is that he is not likely to take any such step.
 The agitation in favor of General Bull Ter does not disturb the officials of Pall Mall, and with the exception of few parliamentary passages at arms, they eexpect it will blow over, as did the re- tiremcnt of General Colville.

It will perhaps be dircult for the board of ordnance and forti1ca- tions to finally deetrmine upon the guns best adapted for the uses of our army. In any event we feel assured that the gun selected will be the best field gun in the world. The service tests Of mortar batteries at Fort Preble, Me-, have been statred and are said to be very Interesting. The ballistic tests of the mortars have proven satisfactory. but it yet remains to be shown that they are accurate when fired under service condi- tions.

How Justice Jerome is Guarded.

New York Press.
 Everywhere he goes at night the jus tice is accompanied by five armed men. who know all the crooks" of the city His escort is composed of Deputy Super- intendent George P, Hammond and Agent Robert $. Mcclellan of the Park hurst Society, Superintendent Edward J.. Reardon and Agent John Brennan of the Goddard Anti-Policy Society and Robert l.. Woolley of Superintendent John Mo Cullagh's staff.
 When Justice Jerome drives up in front of a meeting place his guards form close Iy about him and escort him from the street to the platform. Hammond, a giant in strength, leads the way The justice is escorted out of the hall in the same manner. Any man in the crowd who excites the suspicion of the guards is brushed out of the way.
 On some occasions the guards are eX ceedingly cautious. Last Monday night Justice Jerome addressed a great throng in Sulzer's Harlem River Casino. The way to the platform was through a bar room and long hall. Several Harlem gamblers. some of whom @ere concerned in the feud that ended in a fatal shoot ing affray last winter in the Onawa Cafe, were lettering about the place. They were not permitted to get near Justice Jerome.

Onion soup may now be had at the Hoff- man House under the management of Hon. John P. Caddagan at any time. It may be had for breakfast, for lunch and for dinner. What does onion soup do for these Tammanyites? Why, it Is a precious restorative to wrecked nervous systems The odor Is not always agree able, but between the Scotch whiskey and the Bourbon whlskey and the cham pagne and the beer and the porter and the gin and the lqueursJ onion soup to these Tammanyites is a great sedative.
