[wi{ THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE NETEENTH YEAR, THE ALLIANCE THREATENED. A Split Imminent in the Liberal- Conservative Combination.. CHAMBERLAIN'S IMPERIOUSNESS A Leador Who Will Brook No Kival Near the Throne—Lord Church- fi's sition in Enge lish Politics. Tact and Good Management Needed, {Copyright 1989 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxspon, Nov. 0.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Ber |—Possibly more important that Lord Salisbury’s speecn at the lord mayor’s banquet will be a certain meeting to bo held to-morrow at Birming- ham. There is a little rift withio the union- ist lute, and unless great tact and good mun- agement are shown it may soon make all the music mute, Now, on one side at least, no such quali- ties are being exhibited, and consequently there is too much reason to apprenend seri- ous mischief, This is, of course, something very much more grave than the dispute in local politics, It effects the whole founda- tjon of the alliance between the liberals who secured from Gladstone and the conservative party, That alliance, in the nature of things, could not be permancut. It was based on a single i88uc out of many which divide public men, and any material change in that issue w necessarily bring the alliance to an end. example, many of the dissentient libera aro eager for the disestablisnment of the church. The conservatives would never agree to that. Some of the scceders would ex- act aransom in some form from the land own- ers, another enterprise upon which the con- mervatives would nov embark. The day must come when the alliance, formed for a tempor- ary purpose and not resting upon a perma- nent community of interests, must be dis- solved. It is highly desirable, however, that it should not be dissolved until the tempor- ary purpose at the very least is accomplished. Thers is imminent danger now that fv will _not endure so long. Trouble has arisen from very simple causes. Birmingham roturns unionists to purliament, of whom only one is 8 conservative. The other six could not be returned without conservative votes, In one particular division the conservatives, as they believe, have an absolute majority. They therefore claim that seat for them- gelves, and the claim was never disputed until April last, The concession of this seat formed the basis of the union between the two parties, as the president of the Con- servative association plainly stated last week in Chamberlain’s presence, and he was not contradicted, The case being so clear, thequestion arises: ‘Why is the demand of the conservatives as- sented to down to a very recent date and now refused? The answer is that it all turns upon jealousy, If the conservatives of cen- tral Birmingham would agree to accept any member but one whom they have chosen ‘Wwith a unanimous voice, it is most unlikely that the Chamberlain purty would oppose their schemes, but Chamberlain is of an im- perious disposition, and he will brook no rival near the throne, consequently, when the central division called for Lord Ran- dolph Churchill, Chamberlain flew into a rage, and is undorstood to have threatened shat if Lord Randolph were suffered to o to Birmingham, he would at once, with his fol- lowers, decline to support the government any further, That is the secret history of the intrigue which prevented Lord Randolph standing for a constituency atter the death of John Bright. He had promised to stand. Bir- mingham people sent their representatives 0 require a fulfillment of the promise, but at she eleventh hour he declined. Ithink he was wrong in doing 8o, for his refusal has not prevented a heavy blow being struck at the unwonist alliance, Local leaders of the conservatives admit that their party is dis- oreanized and will not work. Chamberlain i8 not satisfied, for his son has just been de- feated 1n a municipal election. Conservative workmen throughout the country greatly sympathize with their Birmingham friends, They do not see why their clubs and organi- zation should be put at the service of dissen- tient liberals unless something like reciproc- ity is shown, ‘Therefore, the threatened breach in the unlonist party has not been prevented by Lord Randolph having been interdicted from going % Birminghum last April. It hasonly been made wider, he Birmmngham con- servatives know what they want and mean to bave it. Far better would it have been for ull partiesf they bad been allowed to have it lust spring. But is Chamberlain the only barricr to a settlement of this unforwu- nate disputel Apparrently not. A very curious statement appeared the other day in the Liverpool Post, a well informed paper: “Lord Salisbury and his colleagues,” Vs the writer, *‘are at war with Mr. Chamber- lain in a desire that Lord Randolph Church- all should not be selected as a candidate, foreseeing inconvenience should he be re- turned to the house of commons as the repre- sontative of a popular constituency,” Well, that is candid enough, I hope, for anyboay. For the sake of graufying per- sonal animosities and of keepinga popular leader out of oftice the unionist alliance may RO to Jericho and the country may be left to look after atself. If one may borrow a phrase from American politics, there is & *‘nigger in the fence.” Give Lord Rando!ph the weight and influence of a great com- mercial coustituency and it may be im- possible to hold him down much longer, ‘The boycott, which has been very streuously kept up, will have to be taken up. That is Just what Lora Randolph's friends told him last April, The key to the position was in his hands for a fow hours. It was torn from hin under the plea that if he used it he would break up the unionist alliance. Who is break- 1R it up now! Considered in the light of the statement in the Liverpool Post, your readers will lustantly appreciate the humor of the proposal now being officially pressed on ull concerned, that the entire matter shall be referred to throe arbitrators, of whom Sahsbury and Chamberlain are to be two. " Taere would not be much room for s display of sporting spiriv over such arbitration as that. The betting would be all one way. Judgment, in fact, was delivered last April. Brum, couservative, may be very soft, but Atis scarcely likely thut the briluaut solu- tion of the dificulty pow offered will pe sceepted with thankfulness, The sum aud substance of it is that the unionist lliance stands in no swall peril of being shipwrecked on the rocks of personal Jealousy and ambition. That is nothing vew in the history of politics, but, all the same v is much to be regretted. A MEMUER OF PARLIAMENT, —— A Double Murder. Vatoosrs, Ga, Nov, §.—A double murder du egported from Clingh county, The victims are a man named Page, seventy-eight years old, and his aged wife. The murderers are supposed to be negroes.

New York Herald alto Tne Bee. | —Peter Jackson and Jem Smith will have a ten-round go at each otherbefore the Pelican club at an early hour Monday morning for a purse of £1,000, subscribed by a few members of the club. Both men h been in training for a few weeks at Brightoa, Smith, when ho began 10 train, weighed over sixteen stons, and ex- pects to fight at thirteen stone. Ho talks confidently of being able to beat Jacksou in a finish fight, but as the coming mill is only for ten rounds, some peopleare heartless enough to suggest that Smith is already looking for un opening through which to safely crawl in case tue Australian is too much for him. Jackson will weigh 195 when time is called. “Parson” Davies, who is taking care of Jackson, said to the Herald correspondent this evening that Jack- son expects to win and was in splendid form. Tho Parson said ho thought Jackson would win, and proudly displayed the lat- ter’s colors. The latter contain the New South Wales coat of arms and the flags of New South Wales ana the United States, and the declaration: “All 1 want is fair play.” All this is on a groand of white silk. The usual efforts have been made to keep the timo and place of the fight secret, in order to prevent the interforcnce of the police or of sich a wob as the East End can furnish on an hour’s notice. There isno bet. ting worth mentioning. Swmith 18 no longer an idol, and Jackson is conwidered an un- known quantity. Cable—Spec Ty AMERICANS IN BERLIN, Colony Will Give a Dinner Thanksgiving Day. [Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennett,) Benruiy, Nov. 9.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tar Bgre.]—There was n meeting to-day at the American legation in Mohren Str: to decide upoun the best way of celebrating Thanksgiving. A dinner was finally decided upon, and u committee of eightoen Jeading American residents are in charge of the arrangements, Mimster Pnelps was recently pre- sguted to Princess Krederick Charles, the widow of the famous Red Prince, av a special audience granted for the purpose in the splendid palace of the hero at Ziethen Platz and Wilhelm Strasse. Everything passed oft well, as is surc to be the case under the skillful management of Baron Von Wagenbeim, her highness's master of ceremonies. The princess was assisted by her lady in waiting, Madame Von Alvensleben, and various young ladies of the court. Princess Frederick Charles has kindly feelings towaras Americans on account of the visit her son, Prince Frederick Leopold, paid to the United States in 1888, She is also a great reader of English, For a while she insisted on Phelps speaking Ger- man, but as the conversation became ani- mated and turned upon America sho used correct and vigorous English. The presence of the venerable Madame Von Alvensleben, now in her eighty-ninth yoar, was a great compliment to Phelps, as she is the aunt of Baron Von Alvensleben, a former German minister to Washington, who is an old friend of the American envoy, by whom he was en- tertained at dinner. He passed through Berlin some weeks ago. Among the recent Amgcrican arrivals here are Mr. and Mrs. John Parrott, of San IFrancisco, & million- aire, who, with their children and servants, thirteen in all, are stopving at the Hotel Royal, in the Unter den Linden.

Lord Salishury Well Satisfled With Everything. Loxpox, Nov, 0.—At a meeting in Guild- hall to-day Lord Salisbury delivered an ad- dress in which ha congratulated the country upon the splendid expansion of its trade, ‘The disputes between labor aud capital, he said, were regretful and he warned iabor agitators that they uudertook a grave re- sponsibility. He was glad to be able toafirm that Ireland was progressing. Prsoperity was increasing in that country, disorder was vauishing and there was every prospect of a permauent settlement of the burning ques- tions between the two countries, No mem- ber of the governmeut indulged in wild theories of home rule, but were ready with a practical policy which would satisfy the country. Referring to Egypt, Lord Salisbury said the policy of tue government rewaived un- changed. The diflculties in Europe appeared to be tending towards a peaceful solution. e A Qoarterly Dividend.

Benus, Nov ng the present results of the Bismarck-Kalnoky conference and the kaiser-sultan interviews is the sus- pension of the Austrian project for the offi- ciul recognition of the Bulgarian govern- ment. Semi-official reports of the meeting of Count Herbert Bismarck and the grand vizer state that the latter declined to ad- vise the sultan to recognize Prince Ferdi- nand without material guarantecs of the support of the dreibund if Russia attacked Turkey. The grand vizer further d Turkey had as much to fear from Ax from Russia, and she could not forward Kalnoky's policy unless she obtained an equivalent. The attitude of the porte ap- pears to have confirmed Bismarck’s opposi- tion to ntervention in favor of Prince Fer- dinand. Signor Crispi, the Ttalian prime minister, approved the Kalnoky project, but the in- sistence of the chancellor has overborne both. Oficail circles n Vienna are soro over this check to Austrian diplomac and attribute Bismarck's action to prom which ho g while the latter was in Berlin, here is that the chancellor resisted Kalnoky because he was adverse to any measure which was likely to produce acute agitation in the Balkans. The recognition of Prince Ferdinand is therefore indefinitely postponed. The emperor appears to have urged the sultan to cultivate an alliance with England 80 as to link Turkey to the dreibund, The exchange of views by the monarchs is cer- tain to strongly influence the policy of the porte, even though no hard and fast agree- ment ensues. The chancellor softened Kalnoky's repulse on the Bulgarian sottlement by holding out hopes of the renewal of commercial treaties in 1802 on terms favorable to Austria and Hungary.

Among the twenty-eight inembers of the commission there is no socialist representative. Accord- ing to precedent mo group having less than fifteen members ought to be represented on A commission. The socialist group has ouly elevon members, The progressists offered the socialists two seats, but Herren Hebel and Liebeknecht dechined the offeron the ground that the whole bill was unacceptable and that they would not assent to the commission, Prince Bismarck will reappear in the reichstag on the second reading of the budget if there is danger of its failure, The socialist bill is certain to cause him to inte=- vene in the debate. It is probable that the president of the commission, Herr Heldorff, who1s a conservative, will support the bill without amendments, and that a coalition of national, centrist, and progressist members will earry a report in favor of the amend- ment, The session closes the middle of December, A decreo for the new elections is expected early in January.

T. U, Hysterical Over Mor- on's Toterance of a Saloon. Cutcaco, Nov. 9.—The natonal convention of the Women's Christian Temperance union resumed its session in Battery D armory this morning. A telegram from Mrs. Woodbridge, re- cording secretary, dated Washington, was read stating that the barroom license was issuod to Vice President Morton's hotol the name of James K. Kernan, manager. All other saloons are without license, Mrs, J. Ellen Fostér, of Towa, who repro- sents the non-partivan W, C, T\ U., rose and said: “I wish to say there is such a thing us necessity, The national W, C. T. U. now ia session has its headquarters at the DPalmer house. The Palmer house has a bar. It probably has the bar within its wails because it I8 & necessity, The W. C. T. U. probably has its headquarter at the hotel where thero is a bar because there is a necessity. We mustalso recognize thut Vice President Morton has a bar in his now hotel because it is a necessity.” At this point Mrs. Foster was interrupted by astorm of “Nos,” Miss Willard, in the chair, sad there was no motion before the house and Mrs. Foster was out of order. Do I understand that I can not have floor to make my suggestion?’ asked Foster. “Certamly you can have the floor, Mrs, Foster, but I did not understand you had a motion to make.” “Then [ will go on. Iwould suggest that it does not comport with the objects of the W. C. T. U. to make any suggestions to Vice President Morton,” said Mrs, Foster, 1 think that I will ask the committee on resolutions to prepare a resolution to ex- press the sentiment of the convention re- garding the saloon licenss taken out by our vice-president,” said Miss Willard. “We have information from Washington from the best of sources that he hus taken out a license and now we can express our opinion.” A motion was made to refer the matter to the committee on resolutions, It was car- ried almoss unanimousiy. At the afternoon session Mrs, Foster arose to a question of privilege. “I ask permission,” said she, ‘‘to read this telegram which 1 have received from Gen- eral Nettleton. It directly and positively contradicts another telegram that has been read here to-day and I will ask to have it placed on record.” Consent wus grauted by the convention and Mrs, Foster read as follows : “Miss Willard's accusation against the vice president is without a shadow of foun- dation, Mr. Morton personally denounced the canard through the newspapers last weck.” Miss Willard was disposed to permit the communication to go on record, but before the necessary consent of the convention had been asked for, Mys. Jones, a_Philadel- phia delegate, arose and objected. **Wha had our president to do with that telegram from Judge Moulton?” she said. *Is it not ume that my heart should fill with indigna- tion—to heur our honored officer charged with falsifying. I, for one, will not vote to permit such a telegram %o go on record.” Mrs. Joues' voice trgubled with indigna- tion as sho spoke, and irimediately after she finished there was uyroarious applause, which boded 0o encouragement for Mrs. Foster. Mrs. Jones asked in an ironical way whether the telegram was prompted by some one in the conveution or was it merely & happy thought of Mr. Nettleton. 1 will say,” said Mrs, Foster, “that I was completely surprised ana delighted to receive the telegram. In all likelihood it was written by General Nettleton after reading the Associated press report of Miss Williard’s address, and now I would like to kuow who prompted |that telegram from Mr. Moulton.” . Before this thrust could be returned some onemovea to lay the matter on the table and the motion was carvied by a tremendous chorus of voices, A few minutes later ex-Governor St. John, of Kansas City, was ushercd upon tho platform and spoke upon the matter in con- troversy. He said in part: “It has been charged that Vico President Morton is u saloon keeper. That is not true. “It has been charged that be has taken out a retail liquor license and this is not true. It has been stated thata saloon license has been issued for a hotel owned by the vice- president, That is true. *orton finished a fashionable hotel and leased it to a man named Kernan, Kernan applied for a license, He had to get the con- sent of the property owners on each side and they were vice-President Morton and John R.

Vice-President Morton was the first one to censent that liquors should be sold in the new hi Those are facts and if he had loved his country, his God and humanity as a man occupying such an exalted position should he would never have sizned that application. He would have forbidden the sale of liquor in his hotel.” The remainder of the afternoon was given up to the reading of various reports, e PAN-AMERICANS, gates Go Down the F Valley to Johns Prrrsnung, Nov., 9.—The Pan-American delegation left for the east this morning on their special tran, Arriving at Jeanetto, Pa., an hour later, they inspected Cham- bers' extensive window-glass works.

Wasmisarox Bunreau Tus Ovana Be 3 FOURTEENTIL STREBT, Wasuixatoy, D, C., Nov. 0. ) There was a at deal of talk to-day about the successorship of Senator Payne, of Ohio. At first it was believed that John R. MeLean, proprietor of the Clucinnati En- quirer, wouid make an effort to secure the Position, as ho was a well-known aspirant at the time of Mr. Payue's olection, but Mr, MeLean, who resides in Washington, says he would not have the place if it was teu- dered him without being sought, as he has not now s exalted an opinion of the United States senatorship as he had five years ago. Ohio democrats and republicans alike now in the ional capitol betieve that Calvin S, Brice will be Senator Payne's successor. onal friend of the Payne's and s and his election would mean the elevation of the Payue-Whitney families and put him in a position wiich would en- abie him to assist ex-Secretary Whitney in securing the presidential nomination in 1502, Brice is many times a millionaire and the Paynes and Whitneys are regular mines of 2. If General Brice docs not make an effort to secure the senatorship it will, in the minds of many people here, be regarded as an indication that Whitney will not make an effort to secure the presidential nomination, but if he should eunter the fight and succeed it will boe talken us a notice to the Hill-Cleveland crowd that the Payne-Brico combination are n the arcna for 1802 and will likely include Governor-elect Campbell, of Ohio, for the vice-presidential nomina- tion, There is talk here of Chairman Neal, John A. McManone and John H. Thomas, well- kuown Obio democrats, but there would be nothing behind those people beyona their personal ambitions. There is less concern in Washington about, the Onio senatorship than there is over the losses which will follow in the lower house of congress when the democratic legislature of Ohio redistricts the state, It is conceded that the democrats intend to practically re- verse the presant order of representation of the two political varties in congress from that state. At present there are sixteen re- publicans and five democrats in the house. It is admitted by republicans that Ohio can be redistricted so as to give the democrats at least thirteen or fourteen congressmen and leave the republicans but seven or eight, Among thoso the democrats here say they will redistrict out of congress are McKinley, Butterworth, Morey and Kennedy, some of the most distinguished members of the dele- gation, FOUND AMONG RUBBISH.

The secretary of the interior to-day ren- dered a deci sion in the case of James H, Miller vs Homer P, Hyde, holding for can- cellation the timber culture entry on the southwest one-quarter of section 17, town- ship 83, range 40 west, Vulentino district. The decisions of the local and general land offices are afirmed. Hyde made his entry on the 5th of April, 1854, An afdaviv of contest was filed by Miller on the second day of March, 1886, in which, among othor things, he alleges that fifteen acres of the extended section con- tained a watural growth of timber, somo of which measured about twenty mches 0 diameter; that the entry was illegal. On the 7th of the following July a hearing was had. Witnesses for the con- testant claimed that there was about 4,400 trees; that they ranged in size from six inchies to four feet in circumference, ana that the number of trees amounted to not less than 1,146, The local officers sustained the contest and cancelled the cutry, ana the general land oftice on appeal afirmed their decision, whereupon iydo app to the secretary of the interior. His counsel urged a reversal of the decision on the ground that the trees growing on the section were badly damaged by the overflow from the White river and were of no use. Other witnesses swore that the river had not overflowea for two years., A reversal was also urged by counsel on the zround thal tho decision was rendered under the recent rules of the department, ana not under the rules at the time Hyde's entry was made, “True this department has often said that timber culture entries made m accordance with the rules at the day of entry would not be disturbed because of subsequent changes in its rulings,” says the secretary, “‘but there never was a time under any ruling of this department when an entry in this cuse would have been allow All decisions are rendered under the laws existing at the time of entry and subsequent alterations of the law do not effect ontries made, It cannot be consistently held that the section of land containing the natural growtn of trees such as uppears upon this tract is ‘prairie land’ devoid of tinber within the meaning of the law,” NEW NEBRASKA POSTMASTERS.
