London. July 25-since the failure of the conferences on the Ulster sit- nation. the leaders of the various po- litical parties have turned their at teuefor to the next step to be taken tn the home rule controversy.
 Preuafer Asqu1th and the other mem herz of the cabinet remained in town for the greater part of today and sew era1 communications passed between King George and the premier but no meetings were held. Tt is 1M1derE tood that much depends on the result of the meeting of the Irish 7Tationa1 pdIr- fv Rrouday when the Irish members cf parliament will decide what atti- tude they are going to adopt toward the bi1l to amend the Irish home rule bill

 IT W. Gregory who win handle both the civil suit against the New Haven Railroad and the criminal proceedings against certain directors, said yester- day in New Y fork that no negotiations between the road and the government. looking to a peaceful adjudieation of the issue had been instituted. ssI haven't heard a word from the New Haven since the bill in equity was filed, he said. 'Tf any negotHationa had been under way I would have heard of them I am in charge of the case and I would have been consult ed"
 Does that mean that the door Is closed to a settlement of the case without actually trying the suit2
 pflo 1t does not mean that The door Is stin open.'
 ssIs there any likelihood of the part ies to the suit presenting an agreed set of charges at the trial ?''
 ''I can't say as to that. However such things have been done"
 MT. Gregory said that there was nothing further to give out about the criminal action. but he characterized a report from Washington that such proceedings would be delayed and giv- en to the regular federal grand jury for consideration, as unfounded.
 'sThat Is only taIlx.r he said. T am in cf1aree of the criminal as wen as the civil suit and I said that no de- cfsion has been reached on that point. ''
 At the New Haven offices yesterday silence was maintained as to the suit President Hustis was stiil In New Ha- ven and he conferred there with other New Haven officials, among them Vice President E. S. Buclxland who will file the rai1road's answer. Tn Wall Street there was report that Chairman How ard Elliott who is on a vacation would cut short his outing and return about a week before he was expected, which was on August 15-
 New Haven stock was comparative ly inactive on the Exchanae yester- day, only $500 shares being dealt in The stock was down 1-4, on the day s business, but that was not attributed to any change of feeling over the gov- ernments suit.

AS the new board stands now it is
three republicans and two democrats,
II they could seat Mr. Woodruff in
place of Mr. Heltibridle, the demo
Gratis would have control of county
affairs. And this is probably what
tempted them to make the contest.
Hand county's first contest occur
ed in 1884, when Mr. Bowman, rep.
for treasurer, contested Mr. ? Olson
populist, Mr. Olson won at the cleo
ton by 2 majority. The recount did
not change the result. At the same
time the contest on sheriff between
Mr. Strut ard Mr. Cree was dismiss
ed.
The next contest occurred in 1898,
when }. G. Thomas, republican, con.
tested the election of John Pusey,
dem, to the house Of representatives
at Pierre. Mr. Pussy was seated.

as the others did, and not change the
result any,
