TWENTY-FIRST YEAR. NEW MEN WILL LEAD Meeting of England's Parliament Will Find Many Familiar Faces Wanting. IN T LITTLE INTEREST IS TAKEN Loss of Ambition by the Government and Uncertainty of the Opposition. GLADSTONE MAY COME TO THE ‘FRONT Public Oonfidence in the Grand 01d Man is TFast Being Restored. HE BELONGS TO ANOTHER PERIOD ¥is Contemporaries One by One Have Crossed the Styx, and Left Him Alone ~Chances for His Life—Work Must Go On, _ [ Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennett.| Losxpoxn, Ieb. 6.—[New York Herald Cable--Special to Tk Bee.|—They are all gotting ready for the meeting of Parliament on Tuesday. The House of Commions is being swopt and garnished, sulphur is being burned 1o drive out influonza microbes, Guy Fawkes Is belng searched tor in the cellar, and there Is an official brushing up of wigs, gowns and sourt suits. The members of the government who have had un easy time for somo months, now have to keep closo to the grindstone, Tho approach of the session is anything but & joyful event to them. They liko theirsocial position and the salary which accompanies high office, but they douw’t like a compulsory attondance at the house eight or nine hours A day. This year no one, 1 think, is looking for- ward to tho opening of the ball with pleas- ure. 'I'nis Parliament is on its last legs and people have their thoughts fixed on that which is to succeed it. Gladstone's Return to Power. Under which king shall we be then—Glad- stoncor Salisbury ¢ Take the country through, the betting will be heavily in favor of Mr: Gladstone. His Irish policy is shrouded in mystery, but there be Is—the ‘‘grand old man." What need is there to more? Give the g. 0. m. another chance, and it looks now as if the peoplo meant to do it. Nob)dy knows why. He has done nothing whatever to deserve that renewal of confi- denc> which ho forfeited in 1886 as a minis- ter. No great mistakes have been made, but tho outs want to get 1n and the ins are lan Ruid and demoralized. Decidedly the Glad stone stock is rising in the market. They say hoe is fresher than ever, but who oan fight against 82 yoars? On by one this very winter Mr, Gladstone has seen his con- tomporarics swept away by the dark river. Ho is itke one of the last of tho small group of survivors at the Waterloo banquet which the old duke of Wellington gave, until the vacant places at the table became so numer- ous that it was a heartbreaking affair to see tho anniversary come around. The specters 8t the feast scared away the handful of guests, Gladstone and Death, So Mr. Gladstone finds himsell almosu alono. He Is still a ‘prodigy 1n activity, but his hearing is bad and his reserve strength 18 naturally low. He is coming back into the midst of the epidemiic, which is naturally fatal to tho old, and at the boginning of what, in default of anything better, we are pleased tocall spring, when bitter winds rack the bones and all the forces of life are severly taxn:d. His best friends tremble for him, J/ "the same time I do not believe his death Wy 4 break up his party. It would stiil go J/on nghting in his name, and if it were wary and vigilant it wight do just as well without bhim. The magic of a name is great if used at the right time, Conservatives who suppose that the death of Mr. Gladstono would throw the whole game into their hands are much mistaken. Leaders Who Are Gone, ‘We shall see great gaps in our ranks next Tuesday. Notasingle one of the leaders who filled the public eye last session will be there, Parnell and Smith are in their graves, Hartington has gone to the House of Lords and Gladstone will appear a little later. Many a member whose face was familiar to us has disappered during the last six months, One is in jail and another is to be expelled almost as 5000 as tho house meets. There is something ghastly about Parlia- ment in its sixth year. All the fire and spirit have gone out of it. Wo seem to bo walking over the ashes and the spirit of the dead, It reminds oue of the blood curdling song which they say the British regiment on tho Gold coast used during tho ravages of yollow fover, when men droppad out of the Tanks of the living every day., Ithad for s chorus: . “Here's u hoalth to the dead already, Hurrah for the next who dles,” Balfour's Pecullar Position. That must have been a festive company, but the work of the living must go on and younger men must do it. Now is Mr. Batfour's great opportunity, ‘Yet he must feel anxious. His party is no longer enthusiastio. He will have to face coldness and indifference on his own side, while the opposition will be all animation and eagerness. He fills a great vosition, but no wise man covets it. The world will wateh his steps with curiosity. Should he succeed there will be sympathy and applause; should he broak down peoplo would say, *I told you 0. There never was anything in him." I donot thing ha will fail, but to succeed 1o o marked degroe 1s scarcaly possible, even s this now stauds.

W. H. F. Lee's Memory Honored In the Houso of Representatives, Wasmixaroy, D. C., Feb, 6.—~The house today devotea its time to the dehivery of oulogios, expressing sorrow for the death of W. H. F. Lee of Virginia. Eulogistic addressea were delivered by Messrs. Meredith, Edmunds, Tucker, O'Far- rell, Wise, Hermann, Washington, Herbert, Wilson of West Virginia, Cummings, Cowles, Ellfott, Breckinridge of Kentucky, and Cul- berson. The resolttions were adopted and the housoe, out of respect to the memory of the deceased, aajourned ANTI-OPTION DISCUSS10 Arguments For and Against the Proposed Bill-Washington News, Wasuizaroy, D. C., Feb, 6.— A. J. Sawyer of Miuneapolis was before the house commit- tee on agriculture again today. He defended the custom of buying options on exchango to cover the possibility of loss on wheat in ele- vators. He said that speculators carried the surplus for actual whoat buyers and enablod them to sell their wheat as far as it could be absorbed. If wheat in store snould be for- warded the market would be gluttea and cash wheat would fall to a very low price. By buying futures azainst wheat he haq, as an elevator owner, iusured himself against 0ss, W. H. Aldrich of the Chicago Board of Trade was asked if spot wheat, which was tho wheat the farmer sold, would not be highor if dealing in futures was done away with. Got Cheaper Money Than Farmers, Ho said if too much wheat had not been sold the price now might be Dbetter, but in many cases it woula be lower, and a speculu- tor, owing to the lower rates of interest ho paid, could carry wheat cheaper than the farmer. Mattullanh of Indianapolis next attacked denling in futures. Tho greater part of trading in wheat is dons between October and April and during that ime farmers had to accept depressed prices caused by short sellers, He compared “short” selling to the issue of stock in excess of the oapitalization of a railrond company. ‘“No one,” ho ssaid, “‘bet on races in belief as to which hovse was the fastest; what the bettor wanted to know was how the jockey had begn manipulated. The wheat speculator did not concern himself so much about the crop and bigher or lower cable prices, but usked what Pardridgo and other large traders would do. People had become tired of losing money in this way and conse- quently the volume of business had become smaller.” The speaker then criticise the old Butterworth anti-option bill, and laid before the committee a measure he nad framed. It was, in its main feature, similar to the options bills now beforo the com- mittee. When the Inspectors Were Discharged, Acting Secretary Spaulding says the re- cent changes in the customs servico st New York were made in accordance with the rec- ommendation of the customs officers at_that port.

The ciauses containing the most aroltrary provisions have already boen passed by a vote of i to 12. By an unaltered majority the house rushed the successive paragraphs of the act, heedless of the protests by the liberals, The storles pubiished in the papers about the diroct intervention of the emperor to =hape the bill s0 as to prevont Herr Miquel, Prussian minister of finance. and other min- isters from resigning, seem like 8o much gas. The committee has asked Herr Miquel for a detailed statement of the annual expenditures under the measure, The conservatives got a thorough set-back when they found that the new education law would involve an increased outlay of 9,000,000 marks an- nually, which it is proposed shall be raisad by the income tax. The congervatives have almost decided to drop the measure unless the financial clauses of the'bilk are moulded to suit them. Meantime the popular agita- tion is sproading throughéut the empire. The liberals in every state, recognizing the fact that the victory of the olericals in Prus- sia will enable them to trinmph elsewhere, are organizing demonstrations against the proposed new law.

General Von Gossler stated that the position of the men had greatly improved recently under the special instructions issued to the non-com- miasioned officers, and ho had caused rogular Teports to be sent to him of the punishments to which the men were subjected. In a debate in the reichstag on the subject all the speakers concurred in expressing sympathy with the men and finally a motion was passed advising that greater publicity be given to the court martials und that fieer access bo affordod to privates who desire to 1ay complaints before their superior officers. Will Pattern Afver Germany. Tho Bulgarian government has decided to remodel its forces after the pattern of the German army. The War department materi- als will bo drawn from German manufactur- ere, and several Buigarian officers will attend the Berlin military wcadsmy. Theemperor's approval of these arrangements marks a dis- tinct deparlure from the old policy of non- intervention in the Balkans. The trial of Count Limburg Stirum, a pen- sionud member of the diplomatic corps, for publishing lu the Kreuze Zeitung a series of violent articles against the commercial trea- ties, opened today in the disciplinary court. Tho court contended that he was guilty of no breach of the official rules, but the court nevertheless sentenced bim to dismissal from the public service, and decreed that he should lose his pension and be deprived of his diplomatic title of mialstor.

P — BOTHERING THE OFFICIALS, Garza's Operations a Source of Annoyance at Washington. Wasnixaroy, D. ., Feb, 6.—~The Gorza movement along the Mexican border is give ing the ofMcials of tho War department ocon- siderable trouble just at present. No secrot is made of their disappoiniment that Garza is still at large in American territory, and Lis operations cannot be confined exclusively to Mexican territory. Garza and his follow- ers ars known to have received aid and sym- pothy from the Mexican residents in the Viciuity of tho Rio Grande and tho fact that United States troops are unavle to capture the revolutionists is in o large measuro at- tributed to tho deceptions practiced on thom by these people. (ieneral Grant, acting sec- retary of war, and General Schofield had a conference with the president on this subjoct today, and it 1s understood that it was de- cided to take vigorous action to capture Garza and his immediate followers and drive them out of this country. Senor R ro, the Mexican minister, also had a talk with Secretary Blaine on the same subjoot today, and was assuved that this gov- ernment would do its utmost to preserve the neutrality Jaws. The president of Mexico has withdrawn the sugeestion recently mado by him that Mexican troops in close pursuit of tho revo- lutionists bo allowed to cross the Rio Grande at points where tho exact line of division of the two countries is as yet undefined, a like privilogo to be conceded to United States troops under similar conditions. It is under stood that this action was taken at the sug- gostion of this governmeont on the ground that the presence of armed troops on forcign territory migut result in dangerous interna- tional complications. The two governments will continue to co-operate, however, in the strict enforcement of the noutrality laws. WEATHER FORECAST. OFFICE OF WEATHER BUREAD, } Onana, Fob, 6.

Pickpockets Get OfF Easy. The three light-fingered crooks who were caught Friday night while stealing watshes from the patrons of the prize fight just after the affair was ended were arraigned before Judge King at 6 p. m. As two of the gentle- men robbed preferred to suffer the loss of their gold watches rather than appear in the police court as witnesses and have the fact published that they had actually been at a prize fight the prosecution was considerably crippled. Judge King made up his mind, however, that & mere matter of personal delicacy should not stand in the way of justice, and ho therefore seat Lano up for sixty days on the ochurge of vagrancy and gave Gardner fifteen days. Lane only the day before nad finished serving a fifty-seven-day sentence in tho county jail.

It was rumorod that the grea¥ packing firm proposed to build a big packing house in St. Louis, for ttie purpose of getting 1 botter chance at tho cattlo business of the southwost. There was ulso talk that tho firm had considered tho advisability of osd tablishing a branch houso in Sioux City. Allof this talk had for its foundation thd fact that the company proposed to Invesfy large sums of money in the packing businessy and it was a question as to whether the inw vestment should be made in another town or the South Omaba plant onlarged. It has now been decided to make South Omaha the center of the company’s operas tons, and the local plant for cattle-killing will be enlarged to 1,500 per day, nearly fous timos its present capacity. It is proposed to commence work upon the improvements at once, to prepare for the fall run of cattlo, The new buildings necessary will require an outlay of $300,000. ‘What the Haj 1 Will Do. But this 1s notall. The Hammond cons pany has beon considering plans for enlarge ing its plantfor some time, Plans havo boen agreed upon and will be submiticd to & meeting of the directors next Wodnosdny for the enlarging of tho company’s cattle-killing capacity to300 beeves por day and the hog- slaughtering capacity to 2,000 per day. Thera is but little, if any, doubt but that thess plans will be approved by tho board of directors and that as soon as spring opens work will be commencod upon the enlarge- ment of the Hammond plant. Mr. John A, MeShane, who has just returned from Chir cago, states that he has conforrad with the Hammond pooplo and that he 1s convinced that the proposed plans for oxtending the company’s business hero will bo avproved by the board of directors at their meeting nexy week. What this Really Menns, Comparisons with the present business will show what the proposed improvements will mean for the Omaha packing and come mercial industries, Last year the Cudahy company killed 102,473 cattle, for which they paid ,103. With their enlarged facili- ties they could handle 50),000 head of cattlq in a year, for which an outlay of noarly $15,4( 000,000 would bs noeeded. The enlargement| of the Hammond plunt will result in a corred sponding increase in tho amountof catilg needed and money exponded. ; Additional yard, trackage, cold storagé’ and other faciiities will be required, and at conservative estimate employment will be furnished to fully 1,000 additional men as & rosult of the proposed improvements, 1 What Mr, Cudahy Says, = Mr. E. A. Cudahy was seen at his resle denco last night and stated to a Be reporter that for some tame tho members of the Cudsy ahy Packing company had considered the | advisability of enlarging the South Omabs| plant. The plan had received fayorable cons sideration, and all of the detalis would be complete beforethe end of the present woek. He could not say just whatthe improvements would cost, but a numberof large buildings would have to be erected. The new plant, or rather the addition to the old one, would be devoted exclusively to the slaughter of cattle and wouid have a capacity of 1,500 anie mals per day. 'ho plant would be the larg outside of Chicago, and would bo equipped with all of tho modern improvemsnts fop slaughtering cattle and handling tho meaty The yards would have to be enlarged, aud this, with tho ice houso, curing room, ot would cost a large sum of money, running up into the hundreds of thousands of dole lars. If the plant was enlarged, Mr. Cudahy stated that work would begin atan early date and would be hurried along with a view to haudling next fall's cattle trade. —— Minnesoti's Wondor Bests Moth, Rocuesrer, Minn,, Feb, 6, —Smitk McHugh, the southern Minnesota “wonder,” came out victorious over Charles Moth i the wrests ling match last night for.a purse of §1,0004 The affair was witnessed by 1,000 people, admirers of McHugh haviog driven to Rochester for twenty miles around.
