had departed (Tom his original inten?

was the Birmingham Post, an organ

parly. This paper is frequently the
posses or of exclusive advance tips. In
announcing thai the llrst Cabinet
meeting would be held on November
5tli, the Post added that matters of
unusual impprtniiw, mainly connected
with foreign and colonial affairs, U'pultl
come under the consideration of the
Ministers. Iis London letter yester?
day contained the following important
alnti ment:
"Luid Salisbury's speech at. Wat?
ford confirms the somewhat ugly news
that is coming P> hand from the va?
rious foreign capitals regarding the se?
cret uttcmpl Clj'rinnny Is making to
Isolate (ireai I tri tain from ull friendly

Germany is known to be smarting

Tsung-LI-Yuilien, has been a factor in

gatory our endeavors In behalf of the
persecuted Christians in Armenia."
The above is Ihe plainest intimation
vet printed of the origin of the trouble
that is now depressing politicians and )
operators nn ihej.Uourses. , j
A lending conservative paper In the
North of England says that some light
B; badly noi led on foreign affairs, for
the position of Great Britain in the far
Wnsl Is ext.ely critical. Russin and
IT] iucc, it declares, are menacing Brit?
ish Interests In Asia, apparently with
the c ihaent of Germuny. The
United Slat, s seems disinclined to enter
into ."i alliance with Great Britain,
though willing to remain a benevolent
neutral. Japan; whom most regard as
, Oreal Britain's natural ally, seems to
be <?,' two minds, whether to g.i bodily

The paper asks: "Is Croat Britain

treatment of the Annen Inns by ihu
Turks, lie c.iiv rses frequcntiv on the
subject. It has been suggested thai his

the family of Lord John Russell towards

Prime Minister Salisbury lias handed

him by the United Slates Government
through Ambassador Bayard, relative
to the Venozoulnn question. Mr. Chum-!

United States has in. right to Interfere
In Urea! Britain's dispute with Wno

The tone of Hi- reply will probably be

attention now being full) devoted to
matters lhal are more Importnhl than
thi! Guiana, boundary question,
Mr. Chamberlain will begin imme?
diately the consideration of the details
of his groat plnti i" develope the crown
colonies. Thla subject will occupy most
of Iiis time until the reassembling of
Parliament on November' 15. The plan
largely concerhu Africa, but it will also
aim to encourage the commercial inter?
ests of British Guiana ami to assist
Dominica. Senpr Alfred Maloney, Gov?
ernor of British Honduras, iylt? has been
here on leave of absence and who sails
on his return to Ills post on the Ameri?
can line steamer New York to-day, baa
received Government favor in the direc?
tion of assisting other Industries of that
colony besides thl',SO of get ting out
mahogany and logwood. In fact, it Is
hoped that the Government scheme will
give Impetus to all the old West Indian
colonies and assist them to secure access
to good markets in the United States
by the building of new railways.
It is staled in London that the Ameri?
can Commissioner appointed to investi?
gate fne Niouruguan Canal is likely to
report favorably on the scheme, if this
report should prove to be correct, it is
probable thai there will be another con?
troversy between the United Stilles and
Great Britain in reference to certain

Washington. Nov. 1.?The official
speed of the American Hani Katahdln
is it>:i:', knots as reported to Secretary
Herbert to-day by the trial board and
the vessel stands rejected under her
contract, benring tin- distinction of be?
ing the tirst vessel of the new navy
failing to reach contract requirement's.
Unless special provision is made by the
next session of Congress, the Bath
Iron Work:-. Mo., which built the hull
and machinery, must rely on selling
her to some foreign government to
recoup their expenditures, in which
case n complication would arise, as
$-100,000 worth of armor belonging to the
United States Is fastened In place on
the vessel, and is valueless for other
purposes.
Secretary Herbert said he was pow?
erless to waive the specifications of the
contract, which stipulated that unless
the ram developed seventeen knots or
over the Vessel Should lie rejected. Af?
ter a long Conference with General
Hyde, the builder, the Secretary, how?
ever, consented to lake care of the
vessel at tin- New York imvy-yii.nl
pending a furtlir consideration of the
matter by President Cleveland. No ef?
forts will be spared to effect some com
promts I before Congress meets, If
President Cleveland decides that a
modification in the contract speed re
uulremnl would not be Injuriously ef?
fective to the government's interest.
Unlike contracts for other naval ves?
sel:; which provided for certain for?
feits if a certain llxed speed were not
secured an ironclad clause was placed
in tie- Rani Katahdln hgreomeiit com?

ter aild for this reason f< w .<( the build?
ers of warships responded to the lidvcr
ItlsemoiUs issued for proposals. Secre?
tary Tracy llnally Induced President
Hyde, of the Bath. Me.. Iron Works, to
undertake tin- contract, giving assur?
ances, as it Is said. I hat the Depart?
ment would be disposed to bo lenient If
It were demonstrated that the vessels
design was defective. Tlie keel whs
laid in 18111, and ever since that lime
frequent modlllcatlons have bad to he
made in the plans because of discover?
ed defects. The ship whs delayed I w o
years by the failure of the armor con?
tractors to till their contract, and in
liie past year four different sets of
I propellers have bail to be tried on the
vessel as the result of us many experi?
mental runs.
Naval olllcors still adhere to the belief
that under favorable conditions In the
smooth water for which the Katahdln
was designed. she could easily
make (he required seventeen knots.
Her contractors, however, prefer nol
to run the risk of forcing her higher
than tiny did on Thursday, and llrefeij
to leave the whole matter to President
Cleveland, relying on bis fairness to
suggest a just settlement.

The Hoard of Directors of the Nor

stance as follows:
"Resides the regular subscribers

.lays there were over three hundred
visitors, showing the rapidly growing
jiopnlarity of tin- institution. Hooks
.-i' reference are greatly needed for ihe
scholars who frequent the library in
the pursuit of their studies.
"The stability given to the Library
by tie recognition of the Councils lit
the lasl fiscal year, has borne Ms fruits
in the greatly Increased attendance
and the liberal donnitions of books
it nrto to the Institution.
"Greal interest is felt in the action
of tin- Common Council, and if they
CO li ra the action of the Select Council
which unanimously appropriated Sl.r.uil
for the present fiscal year, great good
will result, and this invaluable Insti?

prevail, tin- Library would be closed

Judge Arnold that the Jury was ready

not nearly as many people presenl as

The verdict of guilty was greeted
with absolute silence. The charge of

he said in an eager whisper,
"Monday, November 18th."
These were the only words he uttered.
Judge Arnold then expressed to Mr.
