The Marquis of Salisbury is slow in playing his trumps, but unless Rus sia ami France have some up their sleeves, it. would appear that he has a decided advantage. for the Britsh Premier (has forced Russia to show her hand. She no longer conceals the fact that she regards the whole of Manchuria and the Lio-Tung peninsula as being 'her ejxelusivo prey, but -insisting that Ta-Lien-Wan t northeast of Port Ar thur) be made a. treaty port, the Mar quis of Salisbury lias countered the Muscovite' de-igns on Port.

As the Associated Press has indicated throughout, there seems to be an under standing between Germany and (Jreat Rritain; but, Germany, at the same timo, has so skillfully played her cards, alternately caressing St. Petersburg and London, that the relations lietween both capitals are better than for a Ion? time past. The firm, confident tone of the Rritish Ministerial utterance, em-, phas-izes that Croat Rritain does not in tend to recede from the main points of the tosition she has taken up. and the Cabinet Ministers are merely voicing the determination of the country, which recognizes that if Croat Rritain gives way now, she will only have to fight the battle in the future, when the com-' pleti n of the Siberian railroad will ren der it more difflce.lt. to count upon a bloodless triumph. "While, therefore, the present situation is admittedly preg nant with possibilities, it need not be assumed that peace is endangered, and war will follow if (Jreat Rritain main tains the ground she lias taken up. Verbal bluster and naval displays are only the usual accompaniments of great diplomatic struggles, and are intended to test the enemy's nerve. In the mean while, it may be observed that, while (Jreat Rritain is unlikely to budge from the broad principle, which the Chancel lor of the Exchequer. Sir Michael I licks Beach enunciated, there are glimpses o the fact that the negotiations at Pekiu should be accepted -as ne'ecssarily final. As a sample of the credibility attach able to the various rumors in circulation. the Rritish Admiralty explicitly denies the accuracy of the reports circulated ( here on Thursday last as to the strength-j ing of the navy by o.OOO men 2,0O ad-j ditional stokers to be engaged during the present quarter), and the immediate, i commissioning of the reserve first-class huttleship Hannibal, now at.

On a question of per sonal privilege Mr. Railey secured the floor. lie sail he would not revive the con troversy for the purpose of sustaining himself, or showing that his adversary was wrong as explanation in such cases did but litle good, usually leaving the partisans of each only the more firmly convinced of the correctness of the po sition of his side. Rut, said he, an ex amination of the record showed that there was an agreement that there should be a yea and nay Tote on the mo tion to recommit so explicit and dis tinct, that he felt it his duty to call it to file attention of the country. He quoted Mr. Hitt's last remark: '"And- it is understood, Mr. Chairman, that at -I o'clock tomorrow there shall l.t but one yea and nay vote, that on a niolion to recommit." The Democrats broke forth in nppHnse. "That was precisely my statement," continued Mr. Railey. ''I do not desire to impute motivs other than honorable ones to any one. for I am slow to charge falsehood or unfair dealing, but I do affirm that there has been either a misunderstanding or a misstatement. I He was met by Mr. Hitt, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, (Jen-! era I Henderson, of Iowa, one of the' floor leaders of the majority, and also by the speaker with the argument, that' no agreement, such as alleged, even if! made, winch they denied, could have waived the rules of the House, and that any agreement for a vote on a motion necessarily assumed that the motion would be in order under the rules. This closed the incident. . While the language used today was strong, there was no dis play of temper and no excitement was occasioned, although the statements and counter-statements were enthusiasts cally applauded by the resKctive sides. Mr. Hitt. Chairman of the Foreign Af fairs Committee, submitted a privileged report from his commit tee. recommend ing the passage of a resolution of in quiry, requesting the State Department, if not incompatible with the public in terests to transmit to the House all in formation in its possession relative to the military execution of Col.

He was followed on the same vide of the argument by Senators Dan iel. Berry and CafTeiy. The opposition was haeed upon the I general ground of Ceucral Longa 1 1 et 'v j connection with the Kellog-W'a rnmut h faction in jnilitics in Louisiana, in the reconstruction days of that State. Mi. Caffeiy was especially jealous in h"s oppodtiou. saying that Contra! Long street had in those days antagonized the host interests of his State, and 1iat for this leason he was opposed to him mm. He held that the Ceenral's position at that time in Heated a want of judgment, w hich would render him incapable of till ing so important a position as that of Railioad ( 'oinmissioiier. Senator Daniel, while coinciding with these views, also expressed oppo sition to (Iencral Loiigstreet, because of his criticism of (Iencral Leo in his book on the war. He did not go into de tails, but said that he could not on his capacity as an advisor to the Piesident in the matter of the appointment eon sent to such a seh'elioii as this, and that he must utter his dissent on this, as well as -oi ofhor accounts. These objections were replied to by Senators Hoar, Chandler ami Ilawley. (Republicans), Turner. (Populist), and Bacon. (I)einocrat. of Ccoria). The Republican Senators characterized the opposition as a course w hich looto l t; very much like the waving of the "bloody shirt." Senator Bacon said that while a Democrat and a Southern man. he could not see his way clear to oppose (Iencral Ingst reet's confirma tion. While it was true lhat (Iencral Loiigstreet had identified himself with the Republican party aft- r the war, he had. Senator Bacon said, been a gallant Confederate officer, and was on this ac count well regarded in tin South. Sena tor Bacon also expressed the opinion that it was time that disagreements which succeeded the war. and Ihe fric tion which resulted therefrom should m forgot ten. During the discussion there was some reference to the fitness of the (Iencral to the office, and the declaration was made that he was not comjx'tenl to the performance of its duties.
