POOR OPINION OF CABINET.
John Redmond Wires His View of New
British Ministry.

LONDON. October S.-Irish nationalist
opinion of Premier Balfour's reconstructed
cabinet is voiced in a telegram from John
Redmond. the Irish leader, to the Assoc a ed
Press, as follows:
DUBLIN, October s. 1893,
The reconstructed cabinet is in its person.
mel incomparably weaker than it was. No
new man of any mark has been added to it,.
Arnold Foster is careful and INDUSTRIOUS
but he is a most commonplace official.
Alfred Lyttleton is entirely unknown out
side of the cricket field.
Austen Chamberlains promotion to the
chancellorship would, under other circum-
stances, be denounced d job; but it is
rightly regarded as an audacious. charac-
teristlc maneuver of his father to gain
kudos from his resignation and at the same
time keep his grip on the cabnet.
1t goes without saying that the govern
ment cannot last. Tie doSertion of the
Duke of Devonshire gave 1t its knockout
blow. Whether it will meet parliament in
January or not is very doubtful. But If it
does, | believe il VII not last a week, un-
less the Irish party comes to its rescue. We
are not overmuch concerned in the merits
of its fiscal policy. What we are concerned
about is reform of the abuses in Ireland
and the restoration. of our national govern
ment, and we do not very much care from
which English party we obtain cur rights.
We stand to win however the situation de-
vA'"us. From rcH onward / believe we
shall hold the balance of power in the house
of commons.

CONTRACTS FOR ARMoR PLATE.
The Midvale Co.'S Bids Are Lowest
but Will Cause Greatest Delay.

Secretary Moody is confronted with an
important and troublesome question in the
award of the contracts for more than
s7,CG0000 worth of armor plates needed in
the construction of five war ships. There
were only three bidders for this material.
the Carnegie Steel Co. the Bethlehem Steel
Co. and the Mldvale Steel Co.. all of Penn
sylvania.
The Carnegie and Bethlehem companies
submitted identical bids at their regular
prices and require the government to pay
royalties for the use of the Krupp and Har-
vey processes of hardening steel. The rates
submitted by the Mdvale company ranged
from 81 to SD less than the bids OF the
other companies for armCr of similar
classes. Its total bid was about sT0o, 900 less
than tEat submitted by the other compan'e es
II also agreed to pcy the royalties itself
The Midvale company is new competi-
tor for this class of work and should it re-
ceive the contract would have to construct
an armorrla king plant which fact would
necessarily delay its deliveries. The Sec
retary of the Navy has not vet finally de-
termined his course of action in the matter
but is seriously considering the adv:sabiiity
OF dividing the work among the three COM
panies, and that plan will probably be car
ried out If found to be practicable

VIRGINIA POLITICS.
What Chairman Ellyson Says of the
Situation

j. Taylor Ellyson, democratic state chair
man of Virginia, and possible candidate for
governor. is in Washington on his way back
TO Richmond. Regarding the likelihood Of
his becoming candidate for governor next
year, Mr.. Ellyson said: Il never mix my
personal affairs with my work as state
chairman, and as to my own political fu-
ture l am not giving any consideration now.
The democratic outlook in the state is as
good as could be desired. The little fights
that are going on will not result in lack of
harmony. The next legislature will be
Overwhelmingly democratic, and there will
be no republican gains In the state"
Mr.. Eilyson does not believe that the
primary election law will be repealed and
made this statement. II think that our
experience this year will enable the conven-
ton of next year to modify the present plan
so as to conform IT more nearly to the
wishes of the people who, believe are in
favor of the selection of the party cand-
dates by primary. l do not believe the con-
vention will for an instant give serious
consideration to the abolition of the sys-
TEN. but merely to its modification in way
suitable to all interests. The primary plan
has been tried under adverse circumstances
in several instances. but as a rule the peo-
pie favor the principle and desire its con-
.:cuance."
mo, Virginia democrats have no we'll
defined choice for the presidential nominal
ton next year. Democrats everywhere are
beginning to look forward hopefully to next
year, but the majority of the politicians
and people of Virginia do not desire to COM
NIT themselves to any man now. They
would prefer to await developments and
then support the man whosean command
the largest number of votes throughout the
country"

had recommended that a fraud order be
issued against the Ryan firm, suspending

ney Miller representing the other side.

money to pay all deposisprs in full and as
result of the hearing Acting Attorney

post office inspectors make nther investf-
cation. They did so. and second time
fraud order was recomI1ended
A few days later according to telegrd ms
produced before the grand jury, Miller tele
graphed Johns to deal with Ryan. A meet
ing was held at the Gibson House between
johns and Ryan, in which Ryan paid 81 800,
OF which $1,000 was for a fHvorab BILE deci-
sion en- the scheme allowing Ryans con-
tinued use of the mails, and $1,000 was for
revising Ryans advertising matter

kan boundary commission opened with
practically TO spectators present. JACOB NJ
Dickinson of American counsel cont-nueJ
his speech for Americas "unbroken cliin
of title to the disputed coast. Mr.. Dickin-
son made a forcible plea that all the evil
dence established the fact that the boun-
dairy should be drawn around the heads of
the bays and inlets.
Mr.. Dickinson. continuing, oontended that
the correspondence between the govern
ments. which British counsel relied on to
establish their position, showed that Can
ada and Great Britain had never. formally
or otherwise. protested against the occupa-
ton of the inlets by the United States. On
the contrary, although all the questions
now at issue had been discussed by Cam
adian officials in their reports they were
not adopted by either the government OF
Canada or the government of Gre 1t Britain,
and these Gues lions. though raised in 1856,
were not advanced by Great Britain until
1858.
After luncheon Mr. Dickinson took up the
question of American military and fiscal
alton of the disputed territory, and
quoted many reports of American naval and
military officers anent the formal taking
over of tile territory and governing. the ma
tives. all of which were for many years
available, through the Official papers pub
lished at Washington, TO the British am
bassaGor.
There is no concealment,' counsel con-
tinued. everything is abOveroard but
Great Britain never protested against or
questioned these actions
Dealing with the dispatch of Ambassador
Choate to Lord Lansdowne which Attorney
General Finlay quoted as evidence against
the American claim. Mr.. Dickinson said he
only wished he had Mr.. Choate before the
tribunal, so that he could explain how the
attorney general had Ins;nterpreted the
meaning of the dispatch.
Il submit. declared MIR Dickinson, that
all these acts of the unGuestioned occupa-
ton in 1857 cannot and must not be dis
missed rs worthless, as British counsel con-
tend. l submit that British acquiescence in
these acts only be taken favoring our
lnterpreta ton of the treaty.
