London, Oct. 27.-William T. Stead
declares In the Review Of Reviews that
Arthur Balfour, prime minister of
Great Britain, is no longer gentle
man. Mr.. Stead says Balfour was
straight" and "a thoro gentleman
up to the time Joseph chamberlain
resigned. Then he fell from grace.
Mr.. Stead explains as follows:
Sept. Is the prime minister received a
letter from Mr. Chamberlain informing
him that, despite the sacrifices made by
the cabinet to retain him as colonial sec
rotary, he felt it his duty to resign his
portfolio.
With Mr.. Chamberlain's resignation IN
his pocket Mr.. Balfour summoned a
meeting Of the cabinet. -
We know on the authority OF two OF
the ministers who took part In 1t, that at
no time during the whole of the protracted
debate or at any time during the ad-
torrned cabinet held next day, did the
prime minister give his colleagues the
slightest hint that Mr.. Chamberlain had
resigned, and that nothing they could dc
would induce him to reconsider his posi-
ton. 49,,
No Honor Among Ministers.
They say there Is honor among thieves
) There seems to have been a plentiful lack
{ of it among minister's. or rather, II
would be correct to say, between two
ministers-the prime minister and the CO.
lonial secretary. AS for the other poor
victims, they were as innocent as babes
unborn Hour after hour they were con
Quoted blindfolded. like lambs to the
slaughter by the prime minister and his
conf ederate, who must sometimes nave
felt aualms of conscience at the part they
were playing, for these colleagues OF
theirs assumed so confidently that they
were dealing with a gentleman. 1885,. :;
Three of the ministers went home &c
write out their designations They were
prompted to take this step. because they
believed, as they had deliberately been lee
to believe, that Mr.. Chamberlain was tc
remain in the cabinet to support and tc
incite Mr.. Balfour to deyiate as widely
as possible from the hitherto accepted
finance policy Of the unionist party.
Mr. Balfour received these designations
knowing they had been written by min
listers whom he had purposely kept ignor.
ant of the fact that Mr.. Chamberlain hac
! resigned, and that if they had but stayec
their hand for a day they would have
known that the one man who had raised
the dead and damned ghost sof protection
from the Internal shades, had recognized
/ his defeat and had abandoned office. 8

LABELS TT A FALSEHOOD
Winnipeg Says the Spirit Wrestlers
Are Living in Peace.

Special to The Journal
Winnipeg, Man, Oct. 27.----Every in
quiry made here fails to prove that
there is anything at all in the re-
ported fatal Dukhobor riots, as pub
lished in several American papers.
Telegraphic dispatches received
from all Dukhobor settlements to-day
report all quiet in the spirit wrestlers'
villages. Public opinion here places
the canard in the same category as a
similar abominable story Of an alleged
series Of wholesale murders and arson
in Saint Norbert, a village a few miles
from Winnipeg, which yesterday also
went the rounds Of the sensational
American and Canadian publications
and which also was ascertained to be
an unmitigated falsehood and wired
away merely on the probable chance
of making a little money and at the
same time casting a series of slurs on
country comparatively free from
crime.

Caribbean sea. H..
Evidently something is up in the
waters to the south of us. but just
what it may be is a state secret which
is being guarded most jealousy. On
Saturday the auxiliary cruiser Dixie
was dispatched from Philadelphia
with 400 marines on board. Only a
few hours before she sailed she ar
rived at the League Island navy
yard, and the belief Of everyone there
as we'll as those on board, was that
she would remain some time to be
overhauled. Her boilers and engines
need repairs and a report to that eff

Despite this, orders came from Wash
ington for the Dixie to put to sea re-
CARELESS Of her condition.
Mission Is Important.
That Indicated that the Washing
ton authorities regarded the mission
Of the Dixie as of too much import
ance to permit of delay, and that her
engineers would have to manage to
get along in some sort of fashion with
defective boilers and engines. That
this belief is justified is confirmed by
the navy department and confirma-
ton comes more from reticence than
from any direct admissions. Officials
who were asked to-day where the
Dixie was going said in vague way
that it was somewhere in the Carib-
bean sea- WhenSasked to tell the
exact destination or the precise object
of sending her south at this time they
refused to talk.
A high official, who is familiar with
inside naval affairs, when asked to
say something about the mission OF
the Dixie said:
THE Dixie has been sent to the
Caribbean under sealed orders, which
precludes me from saying anything
about her cruise or the necessity for
it at this time. All that I feel at lib
erty to say is that marines have been
sent south as a proper precaution.''
Does that mean that the admins
tration believes that use will be found
for these marines ~
All, that is a leading question, and
one which I do not feel at liberty to
answer. All I can say is that 400
marines are handy thing to have on
hand when they are needed. y
Ard will they be needed imme-
diate1y?"
THAT is another leading question
which must decline to answer, But
to have them where they are available

a bad thing, is it ~,
