Special Cable Despatch to THE

LONDON, Oct. Sin the course OF
speech at Edinburgh Prime Minister Bal
four paid very warm tribute to the late
Sir William Vernon-Harcourt, the former
Liberal leader.
Referring to Mr.. Redmond's ASSERT on
that the Irish, after the next general cleo
ton, would hold the balance Of power in the
House OF Commons and would exact their
own terms, Mr.. Balfour said that so far as
himself and his colleagues are concerned no
such bargaining could or would occur. The
Irish might make what propo sitions they
liked and what terms they chose with the
Radicals. but the Unionists we're not for
sale.
The greater part OF the speech dealt
with the fiscal question. Mr.. Balfour re-
affirmed that he was personally opposed
to protection and that he would not lead
the Conservatives If they adopted that
policy. He still took his stand on the
Sheffield platform.
Great Britain, he declared, had got to a
point in her fscal relations with the colonies
when the only way out Of dangerous
impassa was free conference with the
AUTONOMOUS colonies and India to determine
upon policy. one way or the other. He
advised his party to invite such a con-

HeIds Name on BIS Sign Makes Trouble.

bttu NuthC VII Ahb oiSh NaheS h'Vuo'e'
There is trouble in the Weber Il
ziegfeld company and Ben Teal, the
stage manager, resigned yesterday. Teal
couldn't stand Anna Held and her ways,
and her ideas Of stage management con-
flicted with his own. He had other cause
of complaint, but the butting in Of Miss
Held and her husband, Florenz Ziegfeld,
seems to be the principal one: If the rl-
thing, there will be other withdrawals from
the all star cast Of the music hall COM
pany.
When the contracts with the chief per-
formers were signed it was understood
that Marie Dressler. Aubrey Boucicault
and Miss Held should be Of equal promi-
nence in the show. Ben Teal was to be
featured with them 10 the advertising
tract was not kept and Miss Dressler and
Boucicaut have been little heard Of since
they began rehearsals. They don't like
Miss Held's dictatorial manner, they say,
and they object to the big electric sign
outside the theatre which tells about the
music halls all st ar cast, but only contains
the name of Miss Held.
smooth sailing for some time. Within a
week, Miss Held has aroused the ire Of Mr..
Boucicaut, who is the leading man. by
trying to tell him how he should read his
lines. Miss Held seems to be well in
trenched in her position, for her husband is
interested in the management.
Just what Joe Weber thinks Of the friction
and he will have his hands full keeping his
all star cast in good humor.
Sam Marion will succeed Ben Teal as
stage manager.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 3.-That the Russian
cruiser Bayan has arrived at Gutslaff Island
from Port Arthur is emphatically denied

The Japanese officials are anxious over

According to the best opinion, the report
