CARLTON CLUB, LONDON, March 16.—[New York Herald Cable-Special to Tue Bge.] On Friday night there was generally a rather lively time in the house of commons. 1f a battle royal’ had veen going on during the week, 1t wound up that night. We do not like to havea stale old fight hanging over our minds over Sunday. Then again it must be observed that important events usually happen at the end of the week. Why that should be so, unless to spite the weekly papers which are published on Saturday, I no not know. Chance or fate or what you will. seems to have decreed that the Sunday paper should be one of the necessities of civilized mankind. Whether one hears a sermon or two, more or less, will not prob- ably make any material difference in the long run, but to miss one's Sunday paper is to remain twenty-four hours inastate of perilous ignorance. It is with a view to thisno doubt that events hurry on to settlement at tho close of the week. All the same if it had not been for the Kensington election, dullness would now have covered us like a wet blanket. Friday night, for hours and hours, the dis- cussion on education dragged itself along. Tt was exceedingly importaut, I was assured, but 8o horribly tedious that it was impossble to sit it out. Therefore, as we wandered gloomily around the lobbies, or took a pull at our cigars in the smoking room, or watched a game of chess, or went tosleep in the library, there would have been a general movement homeward, only we were waiting for the verdict of Kensington. At tive minutes past 11 Isaw Dr. Clark, the member for Caithness, running as hard as he could across the outer lobby, from the telegraph office, Away I setchase after him and picked him up just as he passed two po- licemen who keep out int ruders. How has it gone?” I asked. “Six hundred and thirty majority Beaufoy,” replied the exultant clerk. In another moment he was surrounded by an excited crowd of members, a portion of which speedily overflewed into the house it- self. The speaker was on the wateh for it, and with the sternest of look cried: “Order.” Several times 1f there had been a full house, it is most probable that this would not have quelled the excitement, but learn- ing the baus inside, who were prosing with all stcam up had effectually cleared the place, there wasnot a couple of a score members present and so the invading crowd produced scarcely any sensation and soon re- treated into the lobby, where it managed o get up a cheer. n the n.idst of a group stood Dr. Tanner, adorned with a gilt shamrock which St. Pat- rick himself might have envied and a huge fayor. He smiled sweetly at every conserva- tive he met, offering to let them look at the telogram, but they seemed to have no curios- ity on the subject. Presently the irrepress- ible Tunner who_is out on bail and who is human enough to make the most of freedom, walked into the house and in the balmiest manner asked Mr. Goschen if he could give any news regarding the Kensington election, Mr. Goschen looked a shade or two greener thian usual and fidgetted about on his seat. Taoner once more invited him to come out into the open, but the chancellor of the exchequer sank into a heap, perhaps congra- tulating himself on the fact that when the conservatives found a scat for him their choice fell on the very sufest of all London, His withers were unstrung. The Irish chioftain, Mr. Parnell, was not present. He is no lover of crowds and scenes, None of the Gladstouian leaders had taken the trouble to come down, but they, of course, got the ueiws at home, and it must have hslped to cheer Gladstone, who has looked rather raw and unwell all the week. A fino tonic to him will this election be. Home rulers have a perfect right to re- joice over theiv victory, for it is undeniably asevere blow to the government. It will cause conservatiye London members to shuke in thoir shoes, Enormous exertions, were used to secure the success of the minis- teriahist candidate. The whole art and science of electioneering were exhuusted in his favor, From cvery platform eiectors wéhe invited to vote for the conservative candidate ou the ground that he was related to Lord Salisbury. Mr. Baliour was not quite wise to stake so much on the contest. A personal appeal of this kind was rather narrow. Tiis strange battle ground was, however, deliberately chosen, and it is ab- surd for any one t deny that the defeat of the ministerial forces is a political event of the very fst magnitude. It will give to the Gladstonians a new energy in fighting for the vacancies to which 1 re- that they will for ferred last week: It is likel) succeed iu filling that also, so I am assuréd by the people on the spo! What are we to conelude from this? That the tide is turning in favor of Gladstone home rule schame, or that the ministry is losing popularity! It may bo that there is a little leaven of both at worl People are gotting to believe that Gladstone would, ifhe Laa another chance, bring in @ difforent sort of bill, free from objections, 1t has male them At least think that sorething must be duue for Ireland more than bas been done. Now, couservatives huve made up their minds not to 4o anything this session at any rite. On thut nccountd to a great exteat, those Liberals who abstaived from voting at the last election are returning to their old allogiance. Prominent disseating l'berals re- wain where they were, but the absentees are coming back and are voting straight. That is'the meaning of the Keusington eleo- tion, and itis by fur the wost imjortant political phenowmenon of the hour, In every constitueney numbers of liberals who would Bob Vole ab the lust twe geueral elections have got over their soreness and once moro will have to be reckoned with, The inevita- ble result must be that & good many seats will change hands before all is over. You will see the effect of the Kensington election next week, in parijament for the attorney general and the Times. Loud and fierce will sound the battle crics towards Thursday. There is to bo no peaco this session for the ministry. The Gladstonians are determined to have the scalps of Webster and Walter. 1 will endeavor to keep an accurate list for you of the killed and wounded. A MEMDER OF PARLIAMENT, it~ bl BREWERIES FOR SALE, More in the Market Than Oan Purchasers. [Copyright 1653 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxvos, March 10.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bee.|—Mr. Samuel Untermeyer, of New York, who has just successfully negotiated the Frank Jones Brewing company’s shares through Sir Sam- uel Scott & Co., who issued Bass & Co.’s, was seon last night by a Herald correspon- dent. Hesmd: ‘“This Jones brewery is not a party to any trust in breweries, but an_in- dependent transaction. All this talk one sces in American papers about trusts on the part of Englishmen to control the breweries of Americais such wild nonsense it is in- credible to English capitalists that Americaus believe it " “About seven o1 eight months ago a New York brewery company was organized in London to buy partof the shares of two American brewerics. The shares were of- ferred for public subscription but Englsh people did not scem to have much confidence in the enterprise and nearly all the subscri tions that did not come from the United States came from Dublin, Cork, Belfast and other cities in Ireland. The shares where bought by small shop keepers in Ireland in any instanc in lots of £10 each. The Irish secmed to have more confidence in American sureties and the sharenolders in that company who were not Americans were Irish. These are the only American breweries thus far sold abroad and in cach case the owners retain a large interest. The idea that any syndicate of capitalists is engaged buying up breweries whichi has been civculated by a lot of irre- sponsible brokers representing mno one is absurd. All the capitalists do is to offer the property to the public. They dou't want any brewery’s shares, nce I have been hero fifty American breweries have been offered to various houses with which 1 am associated. Most of them are from Chicago and the west. Chicago seems to be themost diligent in efforts to sell its breweries, I know at least seven breweries there that have heen hawked about this market. In many instances brokers from America offer property here without the knowledge or consent of owners. I know this has repeatedly been dono in respect to breweries in New York, St. Louis and Mil- vikee. Theso offers are accompanied by the most extravagant statemonts as to their assets and prospects, and in a few instances 1 knew brokers to go so far as to secure the sending of English experts to examine ac- counts without securing customors for the properties. 1 have been often asked why the enterpriscs are not floated in America. The answer is Americans are yet a large in- come-loving class, most of whom are well-to- do, have their money invested in enterprises in which they are engaged. “Aguin we have no recognized medium of reaching the public, such as in Europe. In our country no one would dream of looking in the papers for investments, and besides that we have mo limited linbility ~ net, such as protects investors who subscribe to the capital upon the faith of a statement centained in a pros- pectus. I hope we will soon come to that pass for I regard industrial enterprise as one of the safest and most lucrative forms of in- vestmeut. It is simply the carrying out of co-operative plan, In London, for instance, the capital of a company that furnishes bread to the greatest part of the city is di- vided among the middle classes in shares of £1 each. In that way the consumer gets buck by way of dividend part of his payment for bread. 1 sce by the papers a great many breweries are availing themselves of the present fever to disclaim in very loud terms their intentions of selling, and prominent among 1 see many who tried to sell and failed, Fina —— An Insurance Fight. Sr. Joserm, Mo., March 16, — [Special Telegram to Tue See.] — The insurance companies of St. Joseph have expelled the Phoenix, of Brooklyn, from the local com- pact for pormitting an agent at Omaha to write an insurance policy in St. Joseph on the grain elevator belonging to Gregg Bros., and located on the sbuth side of the city. The policy was written for §10,000, and cut the agents here, James Hull & Co., out of the commission. The special agent was in the city yesterday trying to adjust matters, but failed, as the board of vnderwriters, after considering the matter, decided to sus- pend the company from the compact, It is thought by the differentagents that the com- pany can be prohivited from doing any busi- ness in St. Joseph in the bourd, but cannot be prohibited from writing insurance at their own board rate, which are nearly always lower than the bourd rate, -~ Conferring With the Commission. Wagmnerox, Mareh 16,~In responsc to a request of the inter-state commission con- tained in the cwrcular letter of March 8, representatives of the railway carriers com- prising the Crunis Line association appeared before the commission to-day for the pur pose of showing whit th¥ir respective export rates are, and explaining the manner of mak- ing them.

QUIET TEMPORARILY RESTORED. The Germans Maintaining a State of Dignified Inactivity. MARTIAL LAW A DEAD LETTER. And Military Occupation of Apia Exists Only in Name. TAMASESE'S FORCES DECIMATED While Mataafa, Safely Intrenched, Calmly Rejects All Proposals From the Enemy Pending the Arrival of Admiral Kimberly. The Germans Less Arrogant. [Conuright, 1889, by Western Associated Pres Al Samoa, March 2—Per steamer Zealandia, San Francisco, March 16.—Dur- ing the past month the German authorities, both consular and naval, have maintained & state of inactivity. This state of affairs dates back to the arrival of the steamer Wainui with dispatcnes for the German con- sul on January 23,and no doubt is the result of orders then received. The declaration of a state of war in the Samoan Islands has be- come a dead letter, while military oc- cupation of Apia, which the declara- tion of martinl law would seem to have implied, has no existence save the maintenance of a strong guard at the Ger- man consulate. The guard is still kept up at the American and English consulates. The German cons®i has made repeated avertures to Mataafa looking toward an ad- justment of the quarrel and a conclusion of peace; but the terms proposed always em- bodied a strong German interest in'the future administration of affairs, to which Mataafa declares he will under no circum- stance consent, He stays entrenched in camp and awaits the arrival of Admiral Kimberly, having full faith in the support of the United States. Tamasese, with forces nsw reduced by desertions to about six hun- dred warriors, still occupies a large fort at Lutuannu. There has been no collision be- tween the opposing forces for a long time. On February 8 a small skirmish occurred, in which one of Tamasese’s strongest support- ers, a high chief from Savoy, was killed. On February 2 the English war vessel Royal,Cap- tain Handek, was relieved by H. M. S. Cal- liope, Captain Kane, much to the satisfaction of the English residents and consul. Not only the English residents in Samoa, but the New Zealand press as well, severely censure Captain Hand for his dilatory and lukewarm actions during the recent troubles. Early in the month Captain Fritz announced that the American and Enghish consular courts were considered by him as open for a hearing of causes, despite his proclamation of martial law, reserving for himself, however, administration of police. This, by acknowledging the ability of these courts to perform their civil function_ undis- turbed, virtually abrogates the necessity for the establishment of martial law and gives a rather forcible aspect to that arbitrary act on the part of the German commander. Another fact proving that the Germans recognized their original stand to be un- tenable is found in the reissue of the Samoan Times, the English newspaper which was suspended by the German consul as a ds gerous organ. The reappearance of the paper was without permission, but no comment has been made on it by the German consul. On February 5 the steamer Lebock left here for Sydney, carrying with her Bran- deis, the premier of Tamasese, who for a long time has been concerned 1n the trouble. It is rumored that he has been ordered home to explain his conduct. The German war vessel Eber, which was sent to Auckland, ostensibly to communicate with Berlin, has returneds The dispatches which she un doubtedly brought, but the tenor of which is unknown, have not changed the condition of affairs, The United States steamer Van dalia arrived on February 23. The arrival of the flagship Trenton was anxiously awaited, as it was hoped that Admiral Kim- berly’s instructions would empower him to speedily termmate the uncertainty as to the outcome of the struggle, Mataafa is firm in Lis belief of ultimately recciving the support of the Unitad States government, and reiterated his determina- tion to do nothing until the admiral’s arrival. ‘Tamascse, with a force weakened by deser- tion, has sank into a secondary factor and indeed has almost entifely disappeared from the scene. Americans and Englishmen still accuse the German officials of intercepting their mail matter and reading the contents for informa- tion of their government. It is thought thav hercufter one American man-of-war will meet the mail steamer at Tutuilla, The American bark Constitution arrived at Apia on February 2. Tho United States ship Nipsic had gone to Tuitilla, and on the arrival of the Constitution in port, a boat's crew from'the German corvette Olga came alongside, demanded papers, and announced an intention to search the vessel for contra- band material. Captain Colley, of the Con- stitution, had only eight men aboard, but informed the Germans that the Constitution was an American ship and that if they aottempted to board her they would be fired upon. After some parleying the Germuns withdrew, The Con- stitution was driven upon & reaf and wrecked during a severe gale a tew days later, and the crew of the Olga, which siip was lying close by, tendered no assiswncet Boats from the Nipsic, which was a mile away, rescued the crew of the Coustitution. - Carver Wins by a Scratch, © 11, O., March 16.—The shooting mateh between William E.

Manifestly For the Purpose of Allow- ing the Ministry to Continue the Vigorous Fight Now Opened. The News In Pars. | Copyriaht 1889 by James Gordon Bennstt.\ Panis, March., 16.—[New York Herald Cablo—Special to Tur Brg.|—~The chamber of deputies and the senate simultaneously authorized the prosecution of Laguerre, Laisaint, Turquet and Naquet. Legal pro- ceedings against the leaders of the Ligue des Patriotes have been instituted without delay. The prosecution and action of the govern- ment are diversly appreciated by the Paris press. Boulangist organs have issuel o strong protest in which a certain amount of anxiety is apparent. This, however, was to be expected and was only natural under the circumstances, Among that portion of the press whose position is sufciently independent to allow them to discuss the measure impartially two currents of opinion have manifested them- selves. On one hand it is argued that the pro- ceedings instituted against the lique are not sufficiently authorized by existing laws. On the other hand it is asserted that the inop- portune and impolitic article 201 of the code and those that follow relating to illegal as- sociations have long heen a dead letter. Thero are, at the present time, numerous associations iz France that have not been authorized. It is therefore manifestly unjust in a certain sense to proceed against an as- sociation that has a right to expect equal tolerance with others. To this it may be added that the decrees of 1848 on the subject of secret societies cannot be applied in the present case for the reason that the Ligue des Patriotes always existed openly, and far from being a secret organiza- tion always made enough noise to make itself and purposes known to everybody. Besides, such persccutions, politically speaking, often defeat the end of those who order them. They have in view universal suffrage and can never be intimidated or turned aside by tions.of .this sort. ‘On the contrary the vigorous iaw that may be directed against the Ligue des Patriotes and the leaders of the Boulangist party may ouly have the ef- fect of drawing the sympathies of the public by enabling them to poise as victims of un- Just praoecution. While most consevvative organs are ex- pressing themselves in this sense, many of the republican journals are of the diametri- cally contrary opinion. They give unqualified approval to the line of coaduct the govern- ment is pursuing, and point out that the ar- ticles of the code under which the prosccution is to be instituted have never been repealed. They insist that existing circumstances authorize their application for the purpose of defending re- publican mstitutions, According to those who hoid this opinion the Ligue des Patriotes has repeatedly shown itself ready to go to any length, even to resort to violence, It has an army of more than twenty thousand men, which it has been organizing itself. Paris is ready to risc at the first signal. The government cannot allow such an organiza- tion to exist without imperilling its own ex- istence. From a political standpoint, the measures of the government may be re- garded as the commencement of a more gen- eral and detern¥ined action. The judicial proceedings that have been commenced have been partof the object of collecting evidence on which may be founded an indictment against Boulanger and the leaders of the Boulangist party, to be triod by the senate sitting at o high court of justice. Such a plan attributed to the winistry looks much as though there existed a tacit understand- ing between the cabinet and a majority of the chamber that the ministry be spared all parliamentary annoyance and allowed to con- tinue in power, in order that it may, during the few monts that intervene between now and the elections, apply energatic, not to say violent, measures against the Buulangist party, and against its chiefs, inclading the brave general himself. " -~ THE STEEL RALL TRUST. A Combination That Mcans Death to mall Mine Owners. CuicAGo, March 16.—One of the largest holders and dealers in mming and railway stocks in the northwest, who says he has been acquainted with the preliminary de- tails of the proposed steel mill combination, was seen by a reporter tnis evening, With the stipulation that lns name should not be used, he made some statements that go to show whether the association may or may not be properly called a trust. It is a com- bination that may mean death to small mine owners in the northwest. He said that quite recently the Minnesota Iron company and the Duluth Iron Range railroad were sold to a large pool headed by H. H. Porter, of Chicago. Tho entire property is now con trolled and managea by this syndicate of which Porter is the leading spirit The Minnesota company was last year the largest shipper and producer of iron ore in the Lake Superior region. The point to all this, he said, is that the principal coasuers of ivon ore in the west have now combined under one management in this combination. What have been conflicting interests herato- fore are now harmonizod, and the Micnesota company hus & market for its pro- ducts.

The Boys Knocked Skyscrapors and the Britishers Wero Dolighted. [Copyright 189 by James Gordon Bennett.) LoXDoN, March 16.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tnr Ber,|—The Chicago and All-America teams played thoir farewell London game yesterday on the oval of the Bssex County Cricket club at Leyton, which is about five miles from the metropolis. There was a splendid audience to greet tho toams, The grounds were crowded with be- tween 7,000 and 8,000 people. The weather was cool, but despits this discouraging cir- cumstance there wero nearly one thousand ladies in tho audience. Among the spocta- tors were Sir H.J. Seburyn Ibbotson, and Mr, Theobald, members of parliament, and man members of the Kssex County cket club and their ladics. The trains from the Liverpool strect station to Leyton were crowded with people from 2 to 4 o'clock who were on their way to the game. The game was a one-sided affair after the third inning. In the fourth, Chicago by stiff batting piled up six runs and had the gamo won from that time out. Crane kept putting slow balls over the plate, which worked his support so hard that Han- lon, who was determmned on winning the game ‘“kicked,” but Crane refused to increase his speed, and Chicago batted out her victory. Crane's failure to pitch his game, however, did not spoil the fun for the spectators. Thoy evidentiy liked the heavy batting, to judge from the applause they be- stowed upon every whack, and were loud in their expressions of praise of the lovely flelding it necessitated. Chicago failed to get a man further than second in the first in- ning, but scored two runs in the second on Burn's hit, and again in the sixth the “colts" gotin their work, pounding Crane for a home-run and five singles and a three-bag- ger, und hanging six runs on the blackboard. That was great fun for the crowd, ~who were enthusiastic over the heavy cannonading and pretty base running. With this lead Chicago ceased her efforts, but Sullivan's threo bagger and Pfeiffer’s double netted another run in the sixth, while Ryan’s home run, hit with Burns on second, brought in two more runs in the seventh, and singlos by Anson and Pfeffer in the cighth, posted the twelfth run of the two. The All Americas started out the better. Hanlon led off with a singlo past short. Fo- garty and Brown rapped out two more. Then Carroll reached first in the play which retired Hanlons at the plate, and Woods rattling double o left, sent Fogarty, Brown and Carroll home. This slick work in carnest and tickled the crowd into loud huz- zas. When the Chicagos began to bat Crane, however, the All Americas scemed to Jlose heart and the run gettng thereaftér was very scant. Crane said afterward that he was saving himself for the long distance throwing con- test, which was to occur after the game. After the conclusion of the zame Crane was to have entered the long distance throwing contest with G. B. Benner, the champion of Australia, but Bonner was sick, so Crane gave an exhibition, and threw a base bal 124 yardsand two feet, ‘and'a cricket ball 110 yards and four inches. % 'The teams rést to-day, and attend the ser- vice at the Westminster Abbey.

(Copuright 1589 by New York Associated Preas.] BerLY, March 16.—Tho Reichstag has | been occupied with a discussion of the an- nual government roport on the anplication of ' the socialist laws. The debato has been gon- fined to protests from social democrats, Horr Schrader, progressist, expressed surprise that the government made 1o reply, and an- nounced that his party would continue to op- pose exceptional laws, Herr Moyer said that the national tiberals had entered into no for- mal engagement us to future socialist legis- lation, At Friday's sitting Dr. Windthorst com- plained of the continual demand for money for military purposes. The estimates were finally referred to a committee of twenty- one, notwithstanding Herr Richter's em- phatic declaration that the house ought first to determine the sums to be granted. In receiving the central committee of the United Trades guild to-day, Emperor Wil liam declared that the sole object of his Eu- ropean tour was to maintain peace, the only means by which trade could prosper. Ho be- lieved that he had ensured this result for years to come. “The Samoan conference is not expected to present formidable difficulties. Slizit doubts are expressed as to the attitude of America, but the German government will do its ute most to prevent friction, at the same time maintaining Germany’s full right to deal with the Simoan reb2ls. Confidence 15 felt here that the peac:ful disposition of all the three powers will reader an agreement easy. Bismarck isin no way inchued, in the present, state of European affairs, to be drawn ito coloninl disputes. The Vossische Zeitung says: “It is to be regretted that the irruption beyoud the ocean has reachod its present extent and bitterness, and 1t is in a large degree owing to the fault of the German officials, But it flies beyond reasonub'e expectation that the conforence will lead to any other conchision than that there hus been a great deal of unnecessary heat imported into the dispute. ““In addition to the new mcome ta: is swd to be the subject of disscnsion be- tween Prince Bi and his colleagues, Minister Von Gossler disagroes with the ncellor on the question of the state grant- ing financial support to the clorzy, The sub- ject of Qiscord between Minister Von Scholtz and Prince Bismarck is the currency ques- tion.

An incident which ‘occurred at the last wmecting of the provincial council of Danzic would indicate a slight difference between *ae chancellor and Minis- ter Von Puttkamer. Members of the coun- cil reproached the brother of the latter for the wholesale expulsion of Poles which he hud ordered. Minister Von Puttkamer, in defending his brother, said that ho deplored the consequences of the expulsion “on cconomic grounds, but that ho was overruled by Prince Bismarck,who considered political interests of greater importance. The Tag blatt remarks that, in view of the incident, people will not be disposed to place much coufidence in ministerial declaration, The oficial newspapers carefully abstain from comment on Servian affaivs, It is re- ported that the government intends to recall Count Von Bray from Belgrade, his intimacy with Milan makin;z him unwelcome to the present radical government of Servia. Austria will also be obliged to rccall Dr, Hengelmuller for the same reason, Advices from St. Petersburg are that the zar has anvised ex-Queen Natalic not to return to Servia, but to arrange for period- ical visits from her son at Odessa. The Cologne Guzette comments upon the marked friendliness of the reception ac corded to Prince Nicholas, of Nassau, in royal circles during his visit to Berlin as a favorable sign of the good relations between the house of Nassan and the Berlin court.
