Suicide of a Maryland Man in Baltimore, CHICAGO MARKETS ARE LOWER. a BALFOUR’S SPEECH PRAISED. Re Says That He Will Be Ever Ready to Defend Himself. Loxpox, Nov. 19.—Mr. Balfour's spssch at Grimsby lest night is given a prominent place in all the conservative papers and is strongly commended by them. The Irish secretary met with an enthusiastic reception from the 7,000 persons present at the meeting. After speaking at the regular meeting Mr. Balfour addressed an overflow meeting. He said that he had been assailed with a degree and kind of calumny unexampled in English history in any political controversy not recently connected with Ireland. He continued: “Ihave never shrunk from meeting thore calumnies face to face, andI ccunt those my happicst moments when, instead of saying theso things behind my back, they say them to my face in the house of commons, where I can contradict them, But whether they say them in the commons or through the mouths of illustrious politicians like Mr. Morley and Mr. Gladstone, or whether through the obscure channels of the paid lec- turer or the itinerant commoner, I am pre- pared to meet them. Both in and out of the house of commons I have acted with the single-minded view of benefiting not only the empire, but the population, before which I am habitually held up as an object of common contempt and execration. The Irish «| politicians have too long been in the habit of misfortune and weakness of nother weapon to use against the it, regarding ever: Ireiand a governt “Irish distress does not pr .sent itself to them ag affording an occasion on which they might impartially consider the best method of dealing with the condition of the people, but asa means of setting class against class and a new occasion for the issuing of ano-rent manifesto. Any man who suggests that the difficulty to be dealt with is the rent difficulty shows either ignorance or bad faith. If every shilling of rent in the congested district were abolished, the problem would not be the less menacing.” ‘Mr, Balfour received a number of delegates from the north of Ireland conservative and unionist associations, and expressed his thanks for the messages that they brought from the men of Ulster. He said he was accustomed to be called a tyrant, but their warm welcome showed that this description of him was not altogether true. He had yet to learn that the Ulster Protestants knew less about freedom than the people of the other parts of Ireland Mr. Balfour accepted an invitation to visit Belfast before the ger ‘ral election. Mr. Balfour said in is speech last night that his tour in Ireland left the impression on his mind that the districts visited were ut con- gested in the sense of being -rowded, but the people appeared to be urable to draw from their holdings + sufficient livelihood. If the easant’s condition was to be bettered he must e made a@ better farmer and a better fisher- man, There were two distinct problems to be faced—the problem of the present winter and — the problem of tho —_ tuture, It would be of little use to provide for immedi- ate distress unless they had in view the perma- nent amelioration of the condition of the dis- tressed. Nothing would be easier than to squander public money to remedy the evil, becauso be was sire the chancellor of the exchequer would not grudge the money. But though money was essential, he did not regard it as the greatest ‘necessity. He was firmly convinced that something more was required than money and relief works. It was necessary to change the habits of the people. If those concerned could but see wherein their salvation consisted, the problem would slow], but surely be solvea. STANLEY TAKEN TO TASK. Herbert Ward Criticising Him for Put- ting Reliance in Barttelot. Lonpox, Nov. 19.—Herbert Ward writes to the Times as foliows: ‘* With every desiro to be loyal to Mr. Stanley it is impossible for me longer to remain silent, Mr. Stanley has raised all the side issues of the Jameson- Barttelot stories and other matters in order to evade the main controversy. He may or may not be a scrupulous man, bat he is undoubtedly a bold and far-seeing one. It would appear, therefore, that in charging the rear guard officers with irresolution and disregard of in- structions he feared he might one day have to answer a charge for which he himself was re- sponsible, so he collected all the tittle-tattle of tale bearers and attacked his subordinates.” After stating that Stanley's column was not above reproach and that he himself had buried dead men Stanley left on the road Mr. Ward asks why Stanley left inexperienced officers in charge of the rear, knowing that they could only carry out his orders and drive the load beurers with the greatest severity. Why had he sppotiied Barttelot, whom he disliked as much as Barttelot disliked him, and whom he knew was unsuitable for the work, to a position jomentous responsibility at the supreme crisis of the expedition? What must be thought of Stanley turning back on Yembuya, assuring Barttelot be had made a wise choice and se- lecting hita to guard the interests of the expe- dition during his absence? BARTTELOT WAS LOYAL, Mr. Ward declares that with all his acknowl- edged faults Maj. Barttelot, with splendid loyalty to the best traditions of his service, held sacred every instruction of Stanley to the last. In the face of starvation he refused to open the stores Stanley had warned him were essential to the success of the expedition. Yet crete | accused him (the major) of disloyalty. Says Mr. Ward: “There was noreason to refuse us food and medicine, but his stolid sense of discipline. To have taken the law of our own hands would assuredly have led to bloodshed. Stanley must take a portion of blame. By his example on the march up he initiated among the members of his staff the feeling of indifference to human suffering and among the toad bearers a fatalistic acceptance of their lot as mere beasts of burden. By ay ointing Bartislet ander the ciroumstancee ba Natiterataly risked disaster, to use no stronger word, by vague instructions, “He placed Barttelot in a position of bewil- dering alternatives. By an alleged agreement with Tippoo Tib he put Barttelot more or less at the Arab’s mercy and left him abandoned. By publishing the affidavits of a negro valet he demerits dead men. He can answer for himself whether he should not bear some of the respon- sibility for the disaster which befell the rear guard.” ee AT THE POINT OF DEATH. Little Hope of the Recovery of Julia Marlowe. Parapacraia, Nov. 19.—Miss Julia Mar- lowe, the actress, is today lying at the point of death, with her only hope for life depending on an almost hgpeless surgical operation. Miss Marlowe was at first taken with typhoid fever three weeks ago aud on last Friday passed the crisis of the disease in safety, and but for complications would by this time have been on a. fair way to recovery. Sunda; eases forme m Ww) 1D, tet in, and she ie now in imminent Senger of death. S Her physicians have hesitated to rate upon the abscesses, as in her weakened condi- tion they considered that she would not be able to survive it, This afternoon at 8 o'clock they will hold a consultation, and as she will inevitably die if the operation is not performed they will probably decide to open the ab- scesses, although her chances of living through the operation are Failed in Teas and Coffees.

The Police Unable to Keep Madrid Uni- versity Men in Order. Mapazip, Nov. 19.—Today was the anniver- sary of the riot which occurred in 1884 The students at thé university refused to enter the building. They formed in procession and marched to the offices of the minister of jus- tice, where they made a hostile demonstration. They then marched through the streets sing- ing and shouting. The police drew their swords and attempted to check the progress of the mob, but they were speedily disarmed. The students afterward gradually dispersed, pores asec EXCITED D LOWER, Effect on the Chicago Markets of the Feeling in the East. Cnicaco, Nov. 19.—As a result of the panicy feeling in the London stock market and the lower opening of stocks on the New York ex- change this morning all the markets on ‘change here were unsettled, excited and lower. In the wheat pit there was such excitement that for # time it was impossible to tell what the open- ing price was, December opened at prices running from 88%; to 894, from 2 to 2!y under closing of yesterday; and May at 963, or 13, cents under; December fluctuated between the extremes of the opening range and soon be- came somewhat steadier around 89}, and May dropped to 96 and rose to 96% within the first fifteen minutes. stronger advanced to 51%. Oats were also ex- to 425¢ and advancing to 43. The’ provision market went completely to pieces at the open- ing. January pork was offered at 10.90 at first, but none was taken until the price bad | dropped to £10.50 and from there a further de- cline to $10.30 was made. January lard was also lower, but not with as much excitement as in pork. ——.___ THE NON-PARTISAN W. C. T. U. Mrs. Foster Announced as a Candidate for the Presidency. Prrrenura, Pa., Nov. 19.—The first annual meeting of the National Non-Partisan W.C.T. U. was opened in the North Avenue M.E. Church of Allegheny City at 10 o'clock this morning by the president, Mrs. Ellen J. Phin- ney of Cleveland, Ubio. There were present about 100 delegates, many not having reached the city in time for the open- ing of the convention, The first half hour was devoted to religious exercises, condrcted by Mrs, Patton of Philadelphia and Mrs. Isabella Columb of Oberlin, Ohio, President Phinney then announced the committee on credentials, which retired to prepare their report. During their absence short addresses were made by Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Ohio, Mrs, Alfred of Brooklyn and Mrs. Phinney, after which telegrams of greeting were read from Oregon, Minnesota, Iowa and Ohio, The crusaders of Tiftin, Ohio, added €30 to their greeting, the money to be used to further the good work of the organization. The report of the general secretary, Miss F. Jennie Dutey of Cleveland, which was next read, was most encouraging, showing ex- cellent work achieved by the association in its ten months’ existence. The report reviewed the origin of the non-partisan organization and the work from its inception to the present time, ‘The statistics presented of the financial standing in the eight states organized during the last ten months were very flattering and elicited hearty applause as the report was adopted. Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Bailey of Iowa, Mra, Phinney of Cleveland and Mrs. Campbell, pres- ident of the Pennsylvania association, spoke briefly on the work done by the “Y unior organization, complimenting the mem- rs for their zeal. The convention will be in session all the week. Considerable discussion is quietly going on relative to the next president of the organization. It was generally believed that Mrs, Phinney would succeed herself. buta quiet movement has been inaugurated in favor of Mrs. Foster and a contest now seems in- evitable, ee BURIED UNDER HOT COALS, The Horrible Tale of Brutality of a Missouri Engine Fireman. Sr. Locts, Nov. 19.—A horrible tale of bru- tality comes to Acting Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Smythe from the great camp of labor- ers engaged on the new water works conduit. For some time Mrs. John Callahan, wife of a cripple, has had the boarding privileges of the camp, most of the laborers living intents. For some reason John Fisher, a fireman employed in running the engines, had conceived a hatred against the woman and her family. While Mrs. Callahan's little boy Johnny was Playing about the camp Fisher took « shovel- ‘ull of coals from the engins and threw them upon the little boy’s back, literally burying him in fire. Had it not been for prompt as- sistance the child would probably have been instantly burned to death, as his clothes caught fire. But men heard hie screams of agony and ran and extinguished the flames. ‘The flesh is all burned from the boy’s back, and he will sirely die.
