The Monocacy has had a somewhat check

BALFOUR FOR A TARIFF.
British Premier Comes Out Squarely
Against Free Trade.

A dispatch from London last night says:
Addressing mass meeting al Sheffield to-
night in connection with the conference of
the National Union of Conservative Asso-
Citations, Premier Balfour delivered the
speech which has been long heralded as
the first heavy gun to be fired in the fiscal
reform campaign, which is absorbing the
attention of the united kingdom, her
colonies, and, indeed, the whole world, and
which has caused the present British cabi-
net crisis. the result Of which it is impossi-
BILE to foretell. ,sts,
Mr.. Balfour. in the course Of his speech,
did not even hint at the successors in the
cabinet to Mr.. Chamberlain, Lord George
Hamilton and Mr.. Rtchie. In fact, he
did not mention the ministerial resigna-
tions, ignoring altogether that phase of
the situation. on which 1t was expected he
would make some declarations The pre-
mier confined himself strictly to the tariff
question, and his speech was to a large
extent a repetition Of the arguments con-
tanned in his secret pamphlet.
The burden of his argument was to the
effect that commercial conditions had al
most completely changed since England
adopted her policy of free trade With her
colonies raising tariff barriers and all the
rest of the world imposing duties on i'm
ports he argued that it would be suicidal
for England to continue the free-trade
policy. His speech was loudly applauded

SURPRISED BY CARSON
AMERICAN MEMBERS OF ALASK-
AN BOUNDARY COMMISSION.
Told That the Convention Had No
Authority to Define the Cues
tions Submitted.

LONDON. October Sir Edward Carson,
the solicitor general, consumed the morning
session of the Alaskan boundary commits
sion today IN en6eavoring to refute the ar
guments of David r. Watson and Hannis
Taylor of counsel for the United States, es-
pecially protesting against Mr.. Taylor S
contention that the term trend of the
coast" could only apply to the political
coast line and not to the physical coast line.
He also maintained that the principle of ac-
quiesence not applicable to the present
dispute, and somewhat surprised the au-
dience by declaring that under the powers
of the treaty of 1903 the commissioners had
no authority to define questions submitted
to them, and that they could neither lay
down the boundary nor decide what con-
Stituted the coast
All the commissioners could do was to an
swer questions submitted to them in the
treaty either negatively afiirmatively. If
they gave certain answers they might make
matters more confused than ever and open
up a new series of diplomatic tangles.
IEe solicitor general concluded with an
eloquent reference to Great Britains un-
Willingness to give up any of her subjects
into the control of other nations. He de-
clared he thought the public might think
the commission was slow and that counsel
were wasting time; but 10 time and no
money would ever be wasted If the long
standing dispute between the two great and
friendly nations could be solved by the
tribunal.
When Jacob NJ Dickinson of counsel for
the United States rose to conclude the ar
guments the room was filling up with spec
tators. He commenced by belittling the
minute examinations of maps and the bick-
errg over words and details, declaring that
the case could only be settled by grasping
the central idea animating the original ne
gotiators.

MERELY SPECULATION.
No One Yet Selected to Succeed Capt
Newcomer.

General Gillespie, chief of engineers, said
today that no one had yet been selected to
succeed Captain Newcomer as assistant to
the Engineer Commissioner of the District.
and that there was no occasion for haste
in the matter, as Captain Newcomer will
not be relieved for a month yet. Several

Capt. j. j. Morrow who is his way
home from the Philippines, but as yet no
conclusion has been reached in the matter.
General Gillespie says that the published
statement that Captain Morrow has been
selected as Captain Newcomers successor
is pure speculation.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN
Lawsuits to Be Utilized as a
Factor.
JOHNSON Is DEFENDANT
STATE INTERESTED IN CLAIM FOR
BACK TAXES.
Attorney General Will Try to Have In
junction Restraining Their Col
lection Dissolved.

Special Dispatch tc The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio October 2.-The Ohio
campaign has reached the stage at which
political law suits are instituted. Former
Attorney General F. S. Monnett, now candi-
date for reelection to that Office on the
democratic ticket, is preparing action
to compel the Toledo and Ohio Central and
the Hooking Valley railroads to withdraw
from the combination they are in. and both
of them from the combination with the
Continental Coal Company, which was
made evident by the Harvey Fisk & Sons
brokerage letter this week.
Attorney General Sheets has refused to
bring the suit in the name of the state and
Monnett will have it brought by the states
attorney of some county through which the
roads pass. Prosecutor Petit of Hooking
county was here in consultation with Mon
nett yesterday, and the suit may be brought
in his name. The democrats are trying to
connect both Senator Hanna who said in
his speeches last year that there were no
trusts, and Colonel Herrick, the republican
candidate for governor, with the combna-
ton of coal roads and coal mines.
The Johnson Back Taxes Suit.
At the request of State Auditor Gu,lbert,
S. w. Bennett. special counsel in the office
of Attorney General Sheets, will present a
motion ir the United States circuit court
at Cleveland next Tuesday asking that he
be allowed to appear in the Tom. L. John
son back taxes case in that court. Three
years ago NJ. a. Lander, treasurer of Guy
ahoga county put Johnson on the tax dupi-
cate for half million dollars back taxes.
Johnson secured an injunction against
their collection in the United States court.
There the case has stood without action
ever since. Lander has been succeeded by
ty machine being in Johnson's control, no
attempt has been made to push the case.
The motion of the state auditor is based
upon the fact that the state has an inter
est IN the taxes in question, for one-tenth
of the amount collected would come to the
state. Chairman Salen followed up his line
OF challenges to joint debate this morning
with one to Wade II. Ellis candidate for
attorney general on the republican ticket to
debate the trust question with F. s. Mon
nett, candidate for the same office on the
democratic state ticket
1t is safe to say that this will be declined
as the others have been. Salen's object
seems to be to put the republicans on rec

that it has no connection with differences

From the published accounts / am GER
tain that any movements of troops are only
the routine relief of the japanese forces

Seoul and ChemulDho. To send a small
body of troops to Corea wouli be no m N ice
TO Russia and would have no effect on her
plans. \ mobilization of the japanese forces
on a large scale is not contemplated for a
moment, and Corea'S consent would have
TO be obtained for any such step
The minister added that he still believed
Russia intended to keen her promise to
evacuate Manchuria October =. Until that
promise was broken Japan was not likely
TO make any move. The japanese troops
