This rearrangement has really been im- mensely facilita These compelled the Tripie Alliance to in- terfere and join the other powers in com- mon representation to the Porte. When this party of six separates I fancy it will be found that England has shifted her position and has retired by one door with Germany, Austria and Italy, while Russia and France have passed out through the other door. This at leastis what the im- mense majority of Englishmen are hoping for. Mme Novikoff's reappearance in London, writing saucy letters to the radical papers, strikes every one as an important sign of the times. This curious lady may not e any deliberately provocative mission, but she always turns up at a juncture when Russia’s policy comes into sharp conflict with England’s, as in 1875, and gain in 1885, and she writes articles more niously calenlated to set John Bull's ing teeth on edge than anything else one can imagine in types. This time she mocks, and derides the English with a pe- culiarly free tongue. They do not exhibit anger as yet, but they give evidence of their perception of the fact that it is in- tended they should get angry, which is aps more significant. rally the French for the moment are thinking of nothing but the culmina- tion of the Madagascar campaign, over which they had grown extremely de- pressed and unbappy. There will still be 8¢ bitter words in the Chamber about the gross mismanagement and the cruel waste of life, but it is no longer thought hat the Ribot Ministry is in peril. Dis- sion as to what France will do with tae island that it now has monopolizes the at- tention of the Paris press. The so-called ial group of politicians are not un- ely in the end to have their own way in this matter, as they had in starting the expedition. Their idea seems to be to de- clare a protectorate, not specially different from annexation, set up a dummy King in the person of a Hova Prince of the Rhadama branch of the royal family, who was educated in Paris as a Catholic, and institute a government which will keep Protestant missionaries and merchants equally at arm’s length.

The few cynics like Clemenceau and Rochefort, who say that this is only the beginning of a terribly costly and futile adventure, get no listeners. The King of Portugal, who is on a tour of various courts with the view of raising money on kis African possessions, will be the first Roman Catholic sovereign visiting Rome since 1870.

Although there had been a good deal of muttering in the past few weeks in the ship-building trade nobody seems to haye believed that there would be serious trou- ble and the strike at Belfast is in the na- ture of a surprise. It is an extremely un- welcome surprise, too, for it threatens a good deal more than a mere local indus- trial disl@cation.

We want moral support, and if we receive it everything else is assured.” Addresses were also made by Mrs. Dr. Mary Livermore, Senor Silva, secretary of the Cuban Patriotic League, Mayor Chev- alier of Halifax, and others. A set of resolutions were drawn up and adopted, and received the signatures of many prominent citizens.

The caunse of this is the remarks made by young Mormons, who fear a return to the | old conditions which prevailed when the Mormon church authorities ruled with a rodof iron. Strong and bitter anti-state- hood talk is being indulged in by those who hitherto have favored statehood the most strongly. Judge Powers, chairman of the Dem- ocratic State Committee, has called a meeting for Monday with the avowed purpose of dissolving the Democratic party and forming an anti-statehood party. Powers is strongly supported by the Gentile Republicans and the progres- sive element of the Mormons, irrespective of party. It 1s certain that a fight is on with the church, and if the latter does not receed from the position the leaders have as- sumed the anti-siatehood movement will at once be inaugurated, and it is consid- ered it will be powerful enough to prevent the admission of Utah at this time. In a speech J. L. Rawlins, Delegate in Congress, who secured the passage of the statehood bill and nominee for United States Senator, criticized the authorities, and expressed the belief that the people will not countenance such interference. __ MUST STAND TRIAL.

Unless they come to their senses very soon they will work a lasting injury to Belfast, where the ship-building industry has been slowly built up by the energy and courage of em- ployers like Harland, Wolff and a few others into impbrtance. But a deadlock of a month or two will suffice to undo the work of years. It ie not forgotten that a big and flour'- ishing industry in shipbuilding here on the Thames, in East London, was com- pletely smashed by a similar idiotic strike, and there is a not unnatural terror lest a sympathetic movement spread to opera- tives in the great Clyde and Tyne side yaras, which would mean the total paraly- sis of shipbuilding in these islands. Thus far, opinions in Glasgow and Newcastle lead to the belief that sober counsels will Frevail in the unions, but the younger hot- heads are eager for a struggle, and there is danger that they will stampede the unions still. A considerable fact of this insensate [Continued on Third Page.] of the largest audiences ever gathered together in this city crowded the opera- house to-night. The meeting “was called | under the auspices of the Cuban Relief League, ard the utmost enthusiasm was shown for the struggling patriots. At the conclusion of the meeting a collection was taken up and nearly $1000 was subscribed in a few moments. The meeting was presided over by Hon. Joseph Hall, M.P., and nearly all the Cuban sympathizers in the East of prominence were present. The chief speaker was General Jose Garcia, who up to a month ago was in the field with the rebel army, but who is now the agentof the insurgents in the United States in an attempt to secure recognition and the moral sunport of all interested in the struggles of the Cuban patriots. In his address he said : “The dawn of Cuban liberty is at hand. Of course the reports which reach the United States are all in favor of the Span- .ish, but they are absolutely false, as surely and very swiftly the insurgents are carry- ing all before them.

Cannon, of the Mormon church, at a meeting of the church priesthood on Monday, from which it is considered evident that the Mormon church is still in politics and attempting to control the political destiny of the peo- vle of Utah, notwithstanding its official declarations. during the past few yvears to the contrary. The remarks made by Joseph ¥. Smith at the meeting, which was a secret one, were to the effect that numbers of parties high up in the councils of the church, and par- ticularly Moses Thatcher and 8. H. Rob- erts, candidates on the Democratic ticket for the United States Senate and Congress, have seen fit to accept nominations for political offices without first taking coun- sel with the presidency of the church. The procedure he characterized as contrary to the rules of the church, subversive of good discipline and might tend to the detriment of the church. George Q. Cannon indorsed Smith’s re- marks. | The words of the church authorities are taken as a command that those who have gone into politics without the advice and consentof the church must retire from that field. . _This declaration is viewed with great alarm by Gentiles and the progressive FLOWER OF THE SEASON.

CRITICISM OF CURRENCY, Free Coinage of Silver Does Not Meet Unanimous Approval. AS TO DECREASING THE DEBT, Notes That Bear No Interest Not the Cheapest Form of a Cir= culating Medlum. BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 12.—The Massa- chusetts Reform Club held one of the most largely attended and enthusiastic banquets in its history at the Hotel Vendome this evening. More than 200 members and invited guests were present, Hon. George S. Hall, the president, pre- sided. Seated on either side of him at the table were: Hon. John G. Carlisle, who was the special guest of the evening, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Ham- lin, Collector Warren, ex-Mayor Patthews of Boston, Hon. M. P. Kennard, a former sub-treasurer, Hon. Joseph O’Neill, present sub-treasurer, Samuel N. Aldrich, presi- dent of the State Bank, Hon. Causten Browne and Postmaster Coveney. Among others present were: Hon. John E. Russell, Hon. Morfield Storey, Charles B. Jackson, Josiah Quincy, Dana Estes, Charles Eliot Norton, Samuel Bowles and many other representatives of the business and pro- fessional life of the commonwealth. In his opening remarks President Hale alluded to the non-partisan character of the club, and read letters of regret from Senator Hoar, Henry Lee, John Dewitt ‘Warner of New York and many others. Secretary Carlisle, on rising to speak, was received with hearty cheers, the en- tire assemblage rising. He spoke for nearly an hour and was heard with the most earnest attention, many of his strik- ing points being greeted with spontaneous applause. His allusion to the crowning necessity for the retirement and cancella- tion of government demand notes as the essential preliminary to the establishment of a sound currency was heartily approved, and his assertion that the credit of the Government would be preserved by the present administration in the only man- ner possible—by the purchase of gold coin through the issue of bonds, as long as it has the power to do so—was received with great applause and cheers. Secretary Carlisle in thanking the Re- form Club for selecting sound currency for hisremarks,and complimenting Bostomans who, irrespective of politics, had in the most critical period of business deposited $4,600,000 in the treasury, declared that the appreheusions that our currency might be debased by the inability of the Govern- ment to continue the policy of redeeming its obligations in gold has already pro- duced one of the greatest financial dis- turbances that ever occurred in our history, and resulted in the loss of thousands of millions of dollars to our people. There were doubtless other causes contributing to this result, but this was the most potent one in this country, and without it we would not have suffered more than other parts of the world from ‘the general de- pression. What would have been the con- sequence if these apprehensions had proved correct, if the Government had, in fact, been unable or unwilling to maintain the equal exchangeable value of all forms of currency in the hands of the people, no man can tell, but that the time would have been most disastrous nearly every well-informed man now concedes. Fortunately one of the causes which contributed largely to produce a feeling of distrust and apprehension, and which very greatly intesified that feeling at all the stages of our long financial struggle, had substantially ceased to exert any in- fluence over the minds of the people here or abroad. “I mean,” he continued, ‘‘the persistent and aggressive agitation in favor of the free coinage of legal tender silver, which for a long time seriously threatened to rev- olutionize our monetary system and re- duce our entire volume of currency to about half its present value. I do not mean to assert that there was ever a time when there was real danger that this would be done, but there were times when the sentiment in its favor was strong and so aggressive in its character that there were at least reasonable grounds for the fear that it might be accomplished, and especially reasonable grounds for such a fear upon the part of investors abroad, who could not be expected to fully understand the actual situation here; but the free coinage movement has lost its momentum and is no longer formidable or aggressive. It is on the defensive now, and whena ————————— LEYTSTRATSS &COs COPPER RIVETED $PRING BOTTOM PANTS. EVERY PAIR GUARANTEED #OR SALE EVERYWHERE.:
