IXTEENTH YEAR. TORIES DINED AND WINED. The Lord Mayor of London Banquets the New Salisbury Ministry. THE PREMIER MAKES A SPEECH. His Sentiments e to Mean a xpressed Const licy of Coercion in dreland---A Quict Day in Belfast. The Ministers Dine. [Copyrighted.) August 11, 4 a. m. Herald Cable—Special to the Mayor Staples gave a great dinner iast antumn to the Salisbury ministry and last winter to the Gladstone cabinet. e gave another to the new Salisbury ministry last evening. This is a remarkabic record for a single mayoralty, These entertainients are occasions of importance, because at such din- ners the cabinet officers make “st 1 speeches without being held_offici countable for what they say. Yet what they say often indicates their policy. ‘The dinner was given at the Mansion house, one cor- ner of which fronts the Bank of En. gland and the Royal Exchange, within a stone's throw of the Herald building. The triangular space thereabouts was filled in the early evening with crowds eager to see the ministers pass in and cheer their favorites, Inside was A GORGEOUS AND FESTAL SCENE under elcetric lights, with flowers in banks everywhere. The lord mayor and the lady mayoress received in municipal state in a main drawing room of palatial size, out of which the guests entered the dining hall, known as the Egyptian hall, but now all that onee was Pharaoic has been decorated out. This hall is the size of the Fifth Avenue hotel dining room, but with a dowme of great height, supported by twenty fluted piilars, The hall s ornamented with mammoth mirrors and thirty niches containing fine statu The guests, numbering 145 men and six four women, when scated presented A MEMORABLE BANQUET PICTURE, with theiralternations of rich uniforms, levee suits of velvet silver buttons and silk knec breeches, and magnificent toilets spark- ling with gems. “Phese are tory guests,” said a municipal wag who sat in my vicinity, “but you will find the dinrer a liberal one.” PLACE AUX DAMF On the host's right sat the Marchioness of Salisbury, the daughter of the late Baron Alderson, the great judge. Her face e pressed her pride in her husband, her hap- piness in his success. She wore a purple velvet costume, richly trimmed with lace and quite buried under the Cecil family d monds.

Turtle, turbot, white bait, early venison and entrements without number disappeared rapidly under the expectancy of what Lord Salisbury wouldsay. Even the toasts to the queen, the prince, the army, the navy and the colonies were somewhat slurred over until the one touching the premier could be reached. In vain Lord George Mamilton, a5 young Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B., told how he should improve the navy; equally in vain Ministers Smith and Cross, the latter newly created Lord Warrington, talked piquant platitudes about their oflices, ‘The men in their gorgeous uniforms, the primrose nes with their diamond eoiffures, were craving for Salisbury as & sort of cabinet pudding. Presently the lord mayor SEIVED UP TIE PREMIER as he might a plum pudding, blazingly, The loving cup had been passed, while curiously enough the band played the poison song from “Lucretia Borgia,” But the premier, putting poison aside, began with honeyed words for the lord mayor, while the Iady mayor blushed when the honey seemed to betoken a speedy knightage, “Then the premicr pleasantly hinted that this was doubly a jubilee year. He found a jubi- leo in the fact that the classes and masses had pulled to_ether to maintain the imperial union. It was a jubilee, too, because true legislators had conquered false agitators, 1le referred to the Afghan and Egyptian difficul- ties still under solution, He complimented Lord Roseberry, and saiil the foreign policy of Englund’s being a peacemaker should continue. THE SKFLETON IISES, Tlere a bluft admiral exclaimed to a nelghe bor, 1w whisper loud enough to be heard & long way off, * But Ireland.” Then Lord Salisbury, lowering his voice, said, *Yes; the old skeldton i still at all political feast sad events of the lnst few days demonstrate that Ireland is not & homogenous country. As to what is to be done, it is impossible to suy now, more than the first duty of the goverument will be to devote its whole en- ©rgy to free the loyal people of Ireland from illegal constraints and restraints, Every remedy must be exhausted to allow the Irish people to earn their own bread unmolested. “Phe advantage of this government is that we represent the mandate of the people against separation, ‘The people have irrevocably €0 decided. ‘Their motto 15 *Social Order in Ireland.” ‘To maintain that is our primary duty. I cannot now give details of the meth- ods we shall pursue nor of the measures we shall enact in fultilling this duty. We shali find our solid substance in the representatives which your London, my lord mayor, and its suburbs have sent to parliament,” HE MEANT COERCION, These expressions I wrote down as they were delivered, The premier's mauner was decided, though polished, and not only those in uniforms and brilliant tollets, who forgot their fashionable trigidity and pounded on tho tables and gave almost frantic applause when Lord Salisbury resumed bis seat, seemed to understand his words as betokening eoercion, but many public men, with whow 1 went afterward Lo the “ship,” told me over our coffee that they also so understood his words. The lord chancellor sud “lddy,” as the forelgn secretary is familiarly called, fol- Jowed, but after Lord Salisbury’s ihetoric their words were of no more aceount than the dregs of port wine, THE OMAHA THE BELFAST R10TS, The Police Su ced in Keeping Peace for a Day.

Correspondence With Minister Jack- son Carried Complicated Cipher—How Germany Stands —Startling Rumor, on in That Speck of War. WASHINGTON, August 11.—[Spe gram to the Bek.|—Secretary reported very much worked uo over the Cut ting affair. That Incident has taken a much more serious aspect than he contemplated. When in violation of thestatutes he peremp- torily demanded the release before asking the Mexican authorities the reason for Cutting's arrest, as he 1s directed to do by law before resorting to de- mands for release, he has now taken the step which he should have done on the first instance.

Close as a Clam. WASHINGTON, August 11.—[Special Tele- gram to the BEE.|—The secretary of state is chagrined over the publications in the news- papers aboat the Cutting affair, There is only one answer now given by everyone conneeted with the department and that is there is “no news.” That means simply that thera is no news that will be given to the public. The fact is there is a great deal being received and_sent every day. All cc respondence with Minister Jackson is being conducted in cipher. The key to this cipher is kept a protound secret and is changed fre- quently. The cipher is suscept:ble of more than one hundred thousand variations and is not likely to be discovered by the public at large. The last dispatch of importance sent to Minister Jackson instructed him to make a demand on the Mexican government that the governor of Chihuahua be ordered to release Cuttinz. An official who ought to know what is going forward said to-day that the following would probabiy be the outeome of the whole matter: “After the forms of trial have been gone throuuh with, and_Cutting has been for posed of by the Chilhnahua dent Diaz will pardon him as he has ' per- feet right to do under the Mexican constitu- tion. When Cuting is at liberty then will be the proper time to consider the nethods that have been pursued toward him, - The Mexi- can authorities have followed the course of w they claim, while we ciaim they haye not. With Cutting at liberty the whole matter is a proper subject for arbitration. It is absurd to suppose that there will be war over so triviaian a Ad so cheap an adventurer.” 1y's Position, WaAsmNGTON, August 1L—[Special Tele- gram to the B Speaking of the rumor that the German government was backing the Mexican government in opposition to the demand of Secretary Bayard in the Cutting affair, a high official of the state department to-day said that version of the matter was absurd, It was true the German government was taking a great interest in Mexican af- fairs, but only with a view to extend its com- merce there. Otherwise the German govern- ment was well aware of the fact thatno quarrel between the United States and Mex- ico could be settled by outside interforen Tho German governutent has always recog- nized and will hiereafter recognize the Monroe doctrine, and while it may follow German colovization in Mexico, that government is too inelligent to believe those colonies can er beconie subject to 1ts control or form a part of the Geruiun empire. German coloniz- ation in Mexico can have no otherobject than to extend German cominerce in that country, Germany knows very well the United States will never submit to a French protectorate over the isthmus, and to prevent. that Ger- many has only to side with the United against it and uphold the Monroe doctrine. El Paso 15 Not Afraid, EL PAso, Tex., August 11.—|Special Tele- gram to the BEx.]~The impression is gaining ground in El Paso that the Cutting case will bea subject for diplomatic corrospondence for some months to come, and that mean- while the prisoner will nut be, released. A good deal has been said during the last few days about the defenceless condition of El Paso in case of a sudden attack by the Mexi- 5, but there Is really no cause for alarm. There are a few hundred Mexican soldiers in Paso del Norte, but they seem sullen, dissatisfied, and ready to desert at the first chance, On the otler hand El Paso contains some splondid fighting ma- terial and could raise in an_emergency 1,000 armed men, who would hold thelr piace inst any force the Mexicans might bring augainst it until help could arrive by railroad but these will probably all be idle specu tions as the whole disturbance scems Lo be quietly stmmering down, The Feeling on the Border.

AUGLU DAILY ST 12, 1856, THE PROSECUTION SPEAKS, Beginuing of the Addresses to the Jury in the Anarchist Case. THE CRIME OF MURDER DEFINED. Assistant States Attorney Walker Arraigns the Defendants as Guiity Whether They Were at the Haymarket or Not. Anarchists’ Trial Nearing the End. CuicAco, August 11.—A little before 10 this forenoon the defendants in the anarch- ists’ trial marched into Judge Gary's crowded court room, headed by August Spies. The prisoners all looked smiling and apparently unconcerned and greeted their lady friends with sm They had searcely taken their seats when a young Indy with a basket on he arm went along the line and presented each of them with a bunch of flowers. One of the pavers this morning stated that Mrs, Blnek, wife of othe leading counsel fer the defense, supplied the anarch- ists with thelr morning bonguets, Shio wad quoted as saying i - florlst shop- “Lwantthese for the poor saints at_criminal court.

The witness was not cross-exaniined. Detective Bontield said that when Spies was arrested that no one offered him any violence whatever and declaring that the statement made by Sples as to his treatment when taken beforé Super- intendent Ebersold was untrue. A long dis- cussion_then followed as to the order in which spoeches should be made to the jury. 1t was finally decided that Assistant States Attorney Walker should “open for the state, to be followed by Zeisle for ' the defense. Ingham ~ will follow for the state, ‘and he will be fol- Towed by Foster and Black for the defense, Grinnell closing the case for the state. Mr. Walker began by stating that in this republic all men stood equal before the law, and when the perpetrator of any erime stood'before the bar for trial, the Goddess of Justice was n- doed blind until his gmit Lad been proven, no matter whether he was a sociallst or an anarelist. The very law _which = he liad desired to “throttle” now stood as his protector until his guilt was shown, and in_ this case proof had _made the defend- ants guilty beyond a_shadow of a_doubt. The speaker next called the atte jury to the definition of a S doibt” He quoted numerous authorities 1o define the crime of murder, and quoted to show that any one who aided, assisted or en- couraged a murder should be deemed guilty and punished accordingly, and whether the prineipal is punished before or after or not punished at all, those who assisted, aided or encouraged were equally guilty, and should be deemed u\\ifl?' of murder, He thon quoted from " the s of Solomon ot the defense, in which the latter said If the defendants were guilty of conspir- sy, convict them of conspiracy but not of murder, He further quoted from Solomon’s speech, in which the Iatter asked: “lave they murdered many people?” Mr. Walker said only seven men liad been murdered and some ity wounded, and yot tho eounsal asked if they had murdered mauy people. ‘The speaker’ %uid but for the heroisuw, Jf-of-he policeon May 4, many would have been nurdered, and” a ocial Tevolution for hich thedurehdants adlt tiat tiey bought dynamite and arms, would have been g complishied. These' men formed a consp acy, the result of which was the throwing of the bomb and the death of Matthias J. Dee- gan. *The punishment for murder,” said the speaker, “is death.” Continuing s speech at the opening of the afternoon session, Mr. Walker denned the law of the state in relation to accessories, and said the conviction of any one of the detendants was authorized by the law though hie was not present at the place of commis- slon of the crime, nor had ever avreed that the erime was to have been committed at that time. The fact that he had ady couraged the commission of su ime, through a Speech at public mectings of through published articles or private conver- sations, made him an_accessory. Walker spoke with contempt of the efforts of certain defendants to base their hopes of acquittal upon the ground that they were not present at the Haymarket when the bomb was thrown, and characterized them as the lead- ersin the conspiracy to commit wholesale murder. e then read from Most's instruc- tions to the defendants on the witness stand advising themn firsc to save = themselves, if possible, for “future deeds,” and if that proved impossible, to uso their po tion in the witness chair fo teach the prinei- ples of revolution. *This,” said the speaker, Hwas the course followed by Parsons.
