THE SUNDAY OREGONJAtf, PORTLAND, OOTOBER 7, 1900.
Some of the Features of trje
Recent British Elections.
UNITED ACTION ON CHINESEMATTE8
England Preparing: for tko RetKra
- of Lord. Roberts Endtbe Army -From
Africa.
1XNIXN, Oct 6. The' personnel of
the British Parliament, as decided up to
date, promises to be of Interest. Labor is
well represented by Messrs. Burns, Kler,
Hardle and Pell, the latter being the em
ployes' representative during the recent
Taffvale railroad strike. Hardle's success
was quite unexpected. He only visited the
constituency (the Merthyr Tydvil district
of "Wales), where he defeated William
Pritchard Morgan, two days before the
poll. All the Cabinet Ministers will re
appear, and nearly all the ex-Cabinet
Ministers.
One of the most remarkable features of
the elections was the sweeping- defeat of
Captain H. Iamb"ton, of the British cruis
er Powerful, -who opposed the govern
ment candidate at Newcastle-on-Tyne
though the failure of Sir Wilfrid Lawson,
.lboral president of the United Kingdom
Alliance for the Suppression of the Li
quor Traffic, to defeat his Conservative
opponent in the Cockermouth division
of Cumberland was scarcely less sur
prising. Literary England will be well repre
sented, in spite of the defeat of Conan
Itoyle and Augustin Blrrell, for there
"will be Lecky and Professor Brice, the
historian; "Winston Churchill, Gilbert
Parker and others to uphold the various
branches of literature, to say nothing of
Sir George Newnes and Arnold Poster.
London is almost solidly Conservative,
and Glasgow is entirely so. In fact,
nearly all the large cities have given
Lord Salisbury sweeping majorities.
George J. Goschen, who has been First
Lord of the Admiralty, Intends to devote
his retirement to the compilation of a
biography of his grandfather, a publisher
of Frankfort-on-the-Maln. whose letters
to many literary celebrities he has pre
served, and -which are said to form a
most interesting collection. ,
An article of sensible length appears in
the Daily Chronicle, written by an Eng
lishman who knows America well, com
menting on the orderliness and mo'dera
tlon of the election crowds in the United
States, compared with the "ruffianism
and lack of fair play exhibited so 'often
In the present campaign in England."
The progress of the bubonic plague in
Glasgow may now be said to have been
stayed. Twenty-one persons" remain in
the hospital, 21 cases are doubtful," while
sir persons who have been in contact
"with plague patients remain in the reception-house.
Christmas In England promises to be
more expensive than ever, unless people
are willing to eat currantless plum pud
ding and subsist -without fires. Owing to
the failure of the currant crop in Greece,
the price of the fruit is going up with
alarming rapidity. Instead of the crop
realising the usual 200,000 tons, it will
produce barely S8.O0O tons. Within the
last few days currants rose nearly 25
shillings per hundredweight. The Grecian
3onsul-General in London has opened a
subscription for tht relief of the suffer
ing laborers of the currant fields.
MM
The music-hall managers have come
to an agreement to fix a maximum sum
for comic-opera stars, and have also
agreed not to endeavor to secure each
other's stars during: the Tun of pieces ih
-which they are performing.. This action
Is said to be due to the huge salaries
demanded.
Thanks to Germany's withdrawal of her
first note and the substitution for it of
a compromise, there is a general impres
sion in England that a basis of united
action by the powers is now in sight.
That such a satisfactory stage has been
reached through Lord Salisbury's follow
ing America's lead is Ignored by the
English papers, which have not yet
.grasped the fact that the present Ger
man action is a direct consequence 'of
Lord Salisbury's verbal refusal to become
a party to the suggestion that the surren-'
der of the guilty Chinese officials must
be precedent to the peace negotiations.
Great Britain, it is fairly safe to say,
will never formally answer Germany's
first note, but her informal answer, as
cabled to the Associated Press, had per
haps a greater effect on the negotiations
than any recent circumstance, besides
.making the Continental plan for working
independently of the United States ifa
feaslbla. It can now be announced that the in
formation of the Associated Press on this
subject, which -was so disbelieved on the
Continent and which was the subject of
so many denials, -was secured direct from,
the British Government and it -was even
more official than the official equivalent
which, in the interests of international
harmony, was Issued subsequent to the
dispatch of the Associated Press.
With the Chinese muddle showing signs
of clearing up, there is some opportunity
of paying attention to the quiet end
ing of the war In South Africa. Out of
30,000 wounded, 29,000 have actually re
turned to duty, though 10,000 British sol
diers have found graves in South Africa.
London is already In a state of expect
ancy awaiting the return of the City
Imperial Volunteers from South Africa,
and as soon as the elections are over, the
whole country is likely to give itself up
to a period of Jubilant anticipation, pend
ing the arrival of Lord Roberts, whose
return home -will be marked by. celebra
tions such as Great Britain has not seen
for many years.
The attitude of the Canadian electors
towards the policy of sending soldiers to
South Africa from Canada is awaited here
with some interest The Globe editorially
expresses the hope that Mr. Bourassa
and others agreeing with his ideas may
he defeated, but adds:
"Whether Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the "Pre
mier, is returned or not, -we -believe the
next Administration of Canada will be
even more strongly imperialistic than at
present."
As a Conservative majority becomes
more and more assured, speculation as to
the personnel of the next Cabinet grows
rife and all sorts of guesses are pub
lished. None of these, however, seem in
spired. All take it for granted that
sweeping changes will he made, but this
conclusion, the Associated Press learns,
is unjustified.
The facts are that Lord Salisbury, ai
rways uncommunicative, has oiot broken
the habit of his life for the benefltTof
close friends or even fellow Cabinet mem
bers, but from a peer high in Conserva
tive councils the Associated Press learnb
that the make-up of the next Cabinet
will be so similar to that of Its' prede
cessor that it will come as a starltling
surprise. The Marquis of Lansdo'wne,
-who, next to Mr. Chamberlain, is the
subject of more attacks than any oihcr
Cabinet member, can have the War Office
portfolio again Jf he desires, and he probi
ably will accept it, as he has implicit be
lief in Lord Roberts, and is anxious to "co
operate with him "in reforms which he has
been contemplating for some time, but
would not commence with Lord Wolseler,
the late Commander-in-Chief, and. .Gen
eral Sir Evelyn Wood, the Adjutant-General,
with whom his relations are greatly
strained.
It is untrue that either Lord Lansdowne
or the Duke of Marlborough has been
offered the Lord Lleutenantcy of Ireland,
and It is quite improbable that either J
will have such an offer, though Earl
Cadogan does intend to retire",, much to
'the relief of the leading Conservatives
In .Ireland, who are bitterly opposed to
Gerald Balfour, the chief secretary, and
'Earl Cadogan's attempt at nonpartisan
government,
. Lord. Salisbury will resume the Premier
ship and the Foreign Office portfolio, at
least. Everything he has said to his fel
low members of the Cabinet points to his
doing so.
Probably the only really Important
change will bo In the Admiralty, for
which the Right Hon. Robert William
Banbury is being favorably considered,
though Lord George Hamilton, who for
merly was'at the head of the Admiralty,
could" have the portfolio again, but he
prefers to remain at the head of the In
dian Office. The Earl of Selbourn, at
present Mr. Chamberlain's assistant, has
been selected for preferment. He is re
garded as one of the strongest men in the
government and may have a seat in the
Cabinet in the place of the Right Hon.
Walter Long, president of the board of
agriculture. , If he does he will add one
more -to the long list of Lord Salisbury's
relatives controlling England's destines,
as he married "the Premier's daughter.
The vigorous personal attacks upon Mr.
Chamberlain continue and seem to gather
bltternes as the reality of defeat dawns
upon the Liberals. Tho Hon. P. J. Stan
hope's reverse at Burniey is construed
by the Conservatives as a direct rebuke
for his bitter denunciation of "Mr. Cham
berlain, but Mr. Stanhope adheres to his
attitude,, reiterating that he Is ready to
"prove In' the courts that Mr. Chahberlaln
only "whitewashed" Cecil Rhodes In the
House of Commons because another mem
ber had. letters In his pocket Incriminat
ing Mr. Chamberlain with the raid. This

To End one Expansion.
General Summers has been asked
to call all veterans together for a
united expression on the subject
of expansion and upholding the

.
member, though not named by Mr. Stan
hope, the Associated Press learns, Is Abel
Thomas, a Liberal, who represented East
Carmarthenshire in the last Parliament.
In the meapflme, Mr. Chamberlain is
apparently unmoved and is serenely send
ing messages to the nation and stumping
the country, putting all his vigor and
strong personality into the campaign, In
'marked contrast with the other Cabinet
Ministers. .
V
While Mr. - Chamberlain is practically,
the only interesting figure In the struggle
in England, there are in Ireland several
men and lBsues stirring up the country
into such a chaotic condition of party
lirtfes as has never -occurred before, and
it would excite the greatest interest were
it not for the fact that" England is so
occupied with her own local contests. It
is claimed "that Timothy M. Healy - has
split the Irish party to almost as great a
-'degree as did" the late Charles Stewart
jParnell, and that the bitterness Injected
into the fight equals that of the historic
division. The Freeman's Journal declares
that any one voting for Mr. Healy's can
didate Is "without an atom of self-re-'
spect," and describes his campaign as one
of "secret calumny and vllllficatlon." The
paper blames him for the loss of Galway,
saying:
"Galway has disgraced the national
solidarity, broken once more by the party
treason of renegade home-rulers, and the
flag of the union has been planted be
yond the Shannon." ,
On the other -hand, the Dublin Inde
pendent supports Mr. Healy. As a result
of the split, Londonderry and Galway
have changed their colors and other con
tingencies are likely to follow suit.
The "Duko of Abercorn, whose son, the
"Marquis of Hamilton, ousted Count Moore
from Londonderry, said to a representa
tive of the Associated Press:
Frankly, you cap say to the Americans
that "the people in my part of the coun
try north are more prosperous and more
thrifty than ever. The Irish Channel
and lack of coal and many other facili
ties are drawbacks to the development of
many of our Industries. But everything
will come in time, whether Ireland returns
an Increased or decreased Nationalist ma
jority. I believe she will improve com
mercially. Slowly, perhaps, but surely.
So We may eventually decrease the num
ber of good Irishmen who annually go to
your side of the water."
John Parnell', who was so curiously
ousted from South Meath, only secured
the nomination by recanting his action in
presenting "the keys of Dublin to Queen
Victoria on the occasion of her visit to
that city, In' the following words:
"X would sacrifice my official position of
Sheriff if I ever again had to undergo
such a humiliating degradation."
Mr." Parnell was thereupon declared
suitable as a member, and would have
been sent to the House of Commons but
for the ingenuity of frlendB of James
Laurence Carew, who was defeated In
the contest for the College Green division,
of Dublin, not only on account of his
attending the royal garden party, but be
cause of his support of Mr. Healy. Owing
to a technicality, Mr.. Carew was elected
for South Meath-without opposition.
'The Free Lance has published a re
markable interview with ex-Queen Nata
lie, of Servla, who has been summering
at a village near San Sebastian, in which
jthe Queen does not mince Tier words In
regard to her son and the present Queen
of Servla. She says:
"The charge that I sent her insulting
postcards is an Infamous bit of malignity
on her part, got up as a pretext for the
dismissal of a few officers of my house
hold at Belgrade, and in order to pocket
their allowances. Never was a man more
Infatuated than my dear, deluded son by
this" pretty, harrow-minded, narrow
hearted Servian subject 15 years his se
nior." No language is too strong apparently to
express Queen Natalie's dislike for Queen
Draga. She recounts her fruitless ef
forts to nip the affair before it approached
a serious point

rDUUUTH, Minn., Oct 6,-rOne of the
.fiercest .tornadoes that ever visited North
ern Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin
struck the edge of the.Mesaba Range
town of 'BIwablk at 4:10 this afternoon,
killing two persons, Injuring eight and
doing damage variously estimated at from
$100,000 to ?500,000. The dead are:
John Morlety, crushed by falling wall.
Mrs. John Morlety, blown against a tree,
head crushed.
The injured are workmen about the Iron
mines, but not one is fatally hurt. The
principal damage consists of the destruc
tion of shafthouses, dwellings and busi
ness houses. The Austrian settlement of
Blwablk suffered severely. Twenty houses
were blown down In the district.
Tornadoes prevailed today all over
Northern Minnesota. Violent thunder
storms were, almost continuous. A great
amount of rain has fallen. The tornado
at Blwablk was followed by a tremendous
downpour. Iron mines which had been
flooded by recent rains, and which were
getting In shape to operate, are flooded
again In many cases. When the' damage
to Iron mines as a result of shutting
them down la considered, the loss from to
day's, storm will be much greater than the
estimates given.
The funnel-shaped cloud passed over
Blwablk with a power that was Irresist
ible. It stopped locomotives, blew cars
off the track and carried them from 100
to 300 feet Houses in the path of the
tornado were blown to atoms and the
furniture scattered for miles. The Duluth
Mining Company's shafthouses and. other
buildings were blown down. The Drake
Stratton Company sustained considerable
loss to locomotives and cars.

and that they were emigrating In large
numbers. He represented to the Koumn
nlan Ministry that the United States Gov
ernment would be compelled to- adopt vig
orous repressive measures against tnis
undesirable class of Immigrants and cited
various rabbis as his authority for tne
statement, that the Jews would saty 'at
home If released from official persecution.
The Ministers agreed to- relax the en
forcement of various anti-Jew statutes
and the . Immigration movement has
ceased. The" American Government,
through Inspector Watchorn, has dealt

Reassembling of -French Chambers.
PARIS, Oct 6. It Is understood that the
Chambers will reassemble the second
week of November. The government is
desirous of giving the country a breathing
space, between' the exposition and the
opening of parliamentary oratory. The
organsof the opposition are already clam
oring for an earlier date, asserting that
the "ministry Is reluctant .to face the
charges and the critics seem to be, against
it. There is really no ground, howeyer,
for assuming that the government Is In
any jvay apprehensive, as to its position,
in view, of the splendid support It .received
on the ocasion of the big banquet to the
Mayors of France.
Both the Ministers of War and Marine,
however, have to meet attacks, General
Andree, on account of his reorganization
of the military school of St Cyr; which
he makes more democratic instead of
leaving it, as .it has hitherto been, an
aristocratic preserve, and De Lanessan,
on charges of constant faults in his, di
rection of the Navy and of -indulging in
the most shameless favoritism.

KOTED GERMAN FOR M'KINLEY
Great New York Editor Scouts Bryan
and Militarism.
Oswald Ottendorfer. editor of the Now Torlc
Staata Zeitung:, in New York Tribune.
The best Idea as to Bryan may be
gained by reading his letter of accept
ance, and that letter convinces me of tne
fact that he has not one drop of Demo
cratic blood In his bddy, so that as a
Democrat he ceases to elst He Is a
Populist, a Fopullst pure and simple, with
as great a, leaning toward the lC-lo-1
idea as ever; but he hides these Issues
upder the cry of Imperialism. What non
sense for him to be an antl-lmperlallst
chamolon In the light of his own actions!
He sent the silver plank to Krfnsas City
and Insisted on Its adoption as a part of
the platform, compelled the Democratic
party to accept It, and by his action in
that matter assumedthe part of a dicta
tor. A tyrannical dictator to rant about
imperialism seems paradoxical, at least.
Bryan'3 action in Washington while the
treaty of Paris was under consideration
showed that he had no dlgnltyand no un
derstanding of higher politics. He played
the part there of a lobbyist, and used his
Influence with Democratic Senators in
favor of the document. He said then
that the Philippines would be a good
stepping stone for us to China. It Is only
a short time since then.- but -the Islands
have become a stepping stone out of
China for us. Then his talk about mili
tarism Is equally unworthy- of a man who
aspires to the place of President H& took
a commission In the Army and had no
fear that he was setting a bad example.
He had no fears for the safety of the
country because of military dictatorship.
All this talk about the military reminds
me of an Incident that took place In the
course of the Civil War. I walked past
a recruiting station, one day and saw an
old friend in a brand new uniform, with
officer's Insignia and decorations. The
man had never been In the service, Knew
nothing about military affairs, and I had
my doubts even as to his patriotism. So
T asked him: "Why did you enlist?"
"Ah!" said he, "that's the only thing to
do. For the next 50 years no man will
amount to anything, no man will have a
chance In politics unless he has a mili
tary record. Now, I advise you, unless
you want to be crowded out and off, to
go to -the Governor and get a commis
sion." What that man said othsrs
thought, but our great Army melted
away, and with it the dangers that
alarmed the men who were like my
friend.
-v But I have faults 'to find with President
'McKInley also. 1 believe that he Is in a
deplorable condition. I "never saw him,
and can .judge onlyjay his acts. But by
these I conclude that he'ls badly advised.
The position which we have taken In the
Philippine matter Is, In my eye3, scan
dalous, and If Mr. McKInley Is a sensible
man, It certainly causes him many sleep
less nights. Our Philippine policy, for
which I blame Mr. McKInley and" his ad
visers, will act detrimentally on our in
stitutions. . . .
I believe that Mr. McKInley will " be
elected, and that the State of New
York will cast Its electoral vote for him.
The danger of making the state Demo
cratic was great, but this. -I think, has
been averted by the fear on the part of
tho people that Tammany Hall would gain
control of the state. That fear will make
