Balfour Make Another Characteristic Political Speech and Scores Gladstone. London, Not. CO. Mr. Balfour. First Lord of the Treasury, delivered a political address at Huddersficld to-day. In tbo conrse of his remarks he said that Ireland, as an electoral cry, was played out. Tho Liberal leaders appeared to be in donbt whether to play on home rule or tho agritnltaral vote. Mr. Gladstone took onesido ind Sir William Vernon-Harcourt the Dther. This was a judicious arrangement, being planned so that whatever tamed no winning card thoy could carry the game between them. The question presented by the condition of the agricultural laborer in Great Britain deserved better treatment than to be bandied atom between wire-pullers. The question, in fact, was one of supreme, absorbing interest, and the Unionists could claim that they had shown willingness to treat it in a broad, liberal spirit. The Liberals had promised to deal with tho question of village councils, but this was but a clumsy method of putting a coping ston on local eclf-itoYerninenL It was not likely that village councils would materially alter the condition o? the laborer. After announcing that Mr. Chaplin, president of the Board of Agriculture, would, at an early day, introduce a smallholdings bill, Mr. Balfour pointed out that eoiiie dilhcultv wonld ariso from the vital diiiereace between the conditions in Ireland and the conditions in England. In the former country, he said, small holdings were alreadv in existence, while in. the latter they had to deal everywhere with large estates, with buildings which would become worthless by conversion into allotments, lie sympathized with the desire to re-establish the yeomanry in Kngland; but small proprietors ought to consider tho difficulties they would encounter from lack of capital, machinery, etc. He suggested co-operative farming as as possible remedy, but ho frankly admitted that no hope of this could be realized in the immediate future. Still, it was an ideal to be sought after. He rather doubted the success of the liberal espousal of the agricultural question. Their heads, he said, had been turned by election successes. Mr. Morley had as litrie resemblance to tho propLet Daniel as Lord Salisbury had to Belshazzar. If the coming six years were not fruitful in surprises as the last six had been. Mr. Morley would probably conclude that he might find a more profitable occupation than that of prophecying. DON'T LIKE TIIE TLAN. Lates t Scheme for Settling Virginia's Debt Denounced by English Bondholder. London, Nov. CO. Several interviews were bad to-day with leading English holders of Virginia bonus in regard to tho latest plan for funding the State debt. Allot them were bitterly opposed to the proposed plan of settlement. Mr. Totter, principal member of the cemmettee, considered the plan iniquitous. .The holders, he declared, wonld decidedly prefer to keep what legal grm they bad on Virginia in tax-receivable coupons than to accept terms which were greatly insufficient, and which loft them to rely ou the honor of men who hail already rhown that they were lacking in the sense of honor. Virginia was able to pay her debt, but thvj question bad long passed out of the bands or the old honorable Virginians, and had become a political one. con trolled by carpet-baggers and negroes, who dragged the honor of the State through the dirt with their coupon-killer measure. He was for peace, but not at the price ottered in the plan. It would be better for the holders to tight and carry their claims from court to court. The proposal ho made to the committee some timo since was absolutely the lowest terms possible to accept. A privato holder who was met in the secretary's oflic?, and who did not wish misname published, declared that the proposals were farcical. He knew the details of tho plan through private cable dispatches. When the meeting of holders was called it was certain they woald unanimously reject with scorn and contempt worse terms than they could have got ten years ago. Mentioning this remark to Mr. Trotter subsequently that gentleman said that whatever the holders mitfht have got ten years ago in the way of terms, the conditions wero the same then as now. "What reliance could bo placed in the honor of the men oCeriug tbem!" he asked. Ye would bare no security whatover if we surrendered our tax-receivable coupons for the newly proposed issue." GENERAL FOKE1GN NEWS. Two British Oncers Dismissed from the Arroy for loosing Their Heads at Munlpnr. London. Nov. SO. The actual charges xnado against Captain Boileau and Captain Butcher, which led to their names being stricken from the army list, are not yet known, bnt the conjecture that they grew out of the retreat from Manipuris probably correct. In fact, the St. James Gazeito today publishes a comment upon the sentence imposed upon the two officers, in which it is taken for granted that this is the reason for their expnlsion from the army. The Gazette says: "The sentences ought not to surprise the pnblic. They aro severe, but we cannot say they are undeserved. Mrs. Grimwoide narrative evidences that tho retreat was a disorderly stampede. It was not made to save her life; on tho contrary, she was left to save herself until the fugitives recovered from their panic. The retreat from Mantpur was necessary, but a ptand might have been made in the bills in tho vicinity. Had this been done the lives ot the captives might have been saved. At any rate, the disaster would not have been a disgrace. At the same time, we wait with keen intt rest to learu the reasons which led General Koberts, commaudtT-in-citief of the British forces in the East Indies, to take tho severest view of tho case. But tho disaster calls for more thau the punishment of two junior officers." Suffering of Fever-Stricken Sailors. London, Nov. CO. Tho British steamer Fetrarcb, which sailed from the feverstricken port of Santos, in Brazil, on Oct. 23, has arrived at Plymouth, bringing a terrible tale of sufferings from yellow fever. The fever made its appearance aboard soon after the steamer sailed from Santos, and spread rapidly among the crow.till all except one seaman and a fireman were prostrate. The authorities at St. Vincent. Cape Verdi islands, and the Canary islands, at both of which ports the steamer stopped, were cruelly inhospitable, declining to grant any assistance whatever to the stricken crow. The steamer was compelled to sail away, and made for Gibraltar, where, on her arrival, good treatment was met. The chief mate, the chief and second engineers aud three members of the crew died between Oct. and Nov. 15. Denies Committinc Forgery. London, Nov. CO. John McCormack. who was arrested in Edinburgh in October charged with defrauding the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, of New York, raa interviewed to-day in Holloway jail. He seemed depressed, bnt expressed himelf as being sanguine of acquittal Ho persisted in denying all knowledge of tho forgeries charged against him by tho com. pany, and said a conspiracy was afoot to encompass his ruin, lie asserted that bo left New York openly, and that it wai widely known that he was oing on a visit to friends in Edinburgh. His arrest, t herelore, surprised hkn. Hit moremouts had

Kxploftioti In i Market-Place. MANCiinsEKR, Nov. 00. An explosion occurred in the market at Blackburn, a place thirty miles from here, this morning. Twenty persons were at first reported to have been killed, but this was found to bo an exaggeration. The debris caught fire, and was quenched with difficulty. The explosion was caused bv an escapes of gas in the cellar of a shop under the Crown Hotel. The report of the explosion was heard all over the town. The building wrecked was a cheap-goods bazar. The work of extricating the victims proceeds slowly, ho far live persons have been recovered more or less iujured, and one woman has been taken out dead.

A bull-tight is being arranged in this city for the benefit of the Batterers in the.Stafo of Chiapis. The State is nnable financially to aid the people. Riots in tho States of Dnrango and Zacatecas have been caused by the scarcity and high prices of food.

Tho United Press correspondent is assured by Mr. Henry Harrison, M. P.. that Mrs. Parnell, widow of the Irish leader, has no present intention of issuing any defense of Mr. Parnell in the form of a book or biography. In due time a life of Parnell will be published, but it will be a work of years and will be the result of thorongh and exhaustive preparation. It wilt not bo ephemeral, but a work to take its place in the history of the time. The letters and correspondence of Parnell are at present deposited in a place of security, aud will, no doubt, be fully drawn upon for the "life" when the time comes to prepare it. Endeavoring to Relieve the Distress. St. Petersburg, Nov. CO. A decree lias been issued announcing that the export of pulse and of oil seeds is not prohibited. Though there is at present no change in the condition ot affairs in the faminestricken districts, tbo gonernment is doing everything in its power to relieve the distress.

France Wonld Like Reciprocity. Paris, Nov. SO. Apropos of the question of admission of American pork, M. Siegfried, member of the Chamber of Deputies, says that the United States will be able to introduce salt meats in France in spite of the French duty, but that if the United States Congress would diminish the duties on French silks, woolens aud cottons, ii reduction of the French duty on American imports would be readily granted. A treaty of commerce with the United States, he added, was most desirable. Rio Rrande do Sull Still In Rebellion. London, Nov. CO. The latest dispatches' from Rio Grando do Sul are of an alarming nature. The Natiopal Guard has been mobilized, and fears are entertained that the issno will be a grave one. The authorities of KioGrando do Sul are obstinate in their refusal to comply with orders from Kio Janeiro instructing them to reinstate the former officials of the State, and a conflict with the federal authorities may be looked forward to unless hotter counsels prevail.

HOWLING FOR RISSOWS BLOOD. fConcloded from Irat Page. of tho heat with which the temper of a mob is wrought to success. The so-called leaders wero busy with excuses to one another for not accepting the opportunity when they had the keys in their hands, and some wero inclined to jibe at their nerveless comrades for the fiasco in which they had engaged. It was finally settled to their satisfaction in a statement of one of the conspirators: "Yoa see a nob never does nothiu' without organization." 'But we missed connection," explained a big, .burly fellow, whoso size and height
made him conspicuous, meet and rush in We were to on the jail as the clock struck 11, but tho North-side fellows wero not on time. Wo wero ready, though, on the South Side. While this talk was going on the crowd saw a hack drive np to the east side of the jail. Somebody yelled that they were going to remove Biseow in the hack, and the mob ran over to the vicinity of the hack. However, no attempt was made to bring Bissow out and their watch was fruitless. LAN'GEKBCRG AND HAMILTON TALK. 'T was upstairs when I first learned of tho presence of a mob," said Sheriff Langenbnrg to a Journal reporter, "and when I came down I found the office full of men. They had the keys, and some were inside the jail I went inside, having in my hand a crowbar, which I took from some one of the men. 1 examined both sides of tho jail-room, and, seeing no one, I came out, locked the door and put the keys in my pocket." Sheriff Langenberg did not say so, bnt a Journal reporter learned that he left the jail and hid tho keys, so that if overpowered they should not be found upon him. 'Whero is Bissow'a cell!" asked tho reporter. "He is in the third cell, upper row, with two or three other prisoners." "Is he frightened!'' "I don't know. There was no time to see bis condition bofore I locked the doors, and after tho lock was broken, neither the mob nor any of us could have unlocked the door to see. It will require the services of a locksmith, in the morning, bofore we can get into the jail-room." "Will you take Bissow out of tho county, to-dayt" was asked. "I don't know. I will have to confer with the judge about that. I would havo no authority to take him away otherwise. But I don't think it will be nccossary." Deputy Sheriff Hamilton was asked when ho was erst xnado aware of the presence of a crowd. "I heard the noise about the side window," said he, "and, raising the curtain, saw that the paseage-waj was full of men. I asked them what they wanted.' " We want Bissow,' thoy answered. "Well, yon can't havo him.' I said, and the next thing I know they wero battering iu tho door. In a fow minutes the doors were opened, and they all crowded in." now the mod was formed. After the mob had been dispersed Yates told a Journal reportor how it happened. "A number of us organized tbo neighborhood of Shelby street," said he, "and another gang np on Railroad street was organized, and we had agreed to meet in Market square at II o'clock. Each crowd was thero on time, but neither was organized, supposing that tho other had prepared to take the initiatory. The consequence' was that without any organization or any leader, and with but a single crowbar the attempt was made to get Bissow out of the jail. Tho thing was poorly managed from the start." Reminiscence of a Former Mob. Last night's fiasco was tho second attempt ever made at lynching a moo in this city, at least, in recent times. In lb7J William E. Merrick, at that time the owner of a livery stable at 52 West South street, which burned early yesterday morning, murdered bis wife in cold biocd in a littlo room over tbo stable. Ho was arrested and locked up in a cell in, the jail building. Wbilo ho was awaiting trial a mob one night assembled on the outside ot the jail, and for two or three hours things looked omiuous, but in that caso the mob lacked a leader, and it did not succeed in oven penetrating to tho office. When his case came to trial Merrick was sentenced to death and a month or so later ho was hung iu tho jail yard. THE "BLACK FEAKL" BESTED. Kaecked Out in the Tiventj-Fifth Koand by lUcnny " Also Blact, of Boston. San Francisco, Nov. CO. Harris Martin, the "Black Pearl," of Minneapolis, and Ed Phinney, better known as "Benny,"of Boston, colored middle-weights, fought to a finish at the California Athletic Club tonight for a purse of $1,500. Tho men slugged at close quarters in the first three rounds, the Pearl securing two knock-downs iu tho hr.it, fliio proving nearly a knock-out. Benny retaliated, however, by knocking the Pearl down in the second round. Benny missed numberless openings which the Pearl carelessly loft in his rushes, aud. though of longer reach mid hitting power, ho seemed dieposed to make a - slow tight. The Pearl, on tho other hand, tried every chance to finish Benny with his right, but the end of tho thirteenth round found honors about even. At the close of tho twenty-second round Benny sent tbo Pearl to the ropes, and punished him in the succeeding round r.util tho Pearl was groggy and reeling. Tho Pearl fresheued, but the light progressed slowly until the twentylifth ronnd, when Benny started in and punished him about the ring with blows on tho head until the Pearl fell. He refused to come to time for tho next rouud, and tho fight was given Benny. Movement of Steamers. Philadelphia, Nov. 0. Arrived: British Prince, from Liverpool; Missouri, from London. London, Nov.

CANiNOT FIND ANY ASSETS
Not Enonsh Cash Left by Brokers Field & Co. to Pay the Salaries of Clerks. Lofa by the Failure riaced at $SOO,O0O, of Which the Union Pacific Will Lose $400,000 Cohan Investment of -$300,000.
New York, Nov. SO. There was no material change in the aspect of affairs at the office of the suspended firm of Field, Lindley, Weichers & Co. to-day. Assignee Gould said that, personally, he knew nothing of the truth or falsity of the published reports of the alleged ''crooked" transactions of Mr. Field. He was trying to get at the facts, but as yet had learned but little. He had sought in vain for available assets, but was nnable to get even enough to pay tho clerks. Thero was no bank account whatever, and only a faint hope remained with him that there might be some call loans belonging to the firm upon which he might be ablo to realize something to defray necessary expenses. There was a report published that a warrant for tho arrest of . M. Field had been placed in tho hands of Inspector Byrnes and that he had detectives watching Mr. Field's house. The Inspector to-day positively denied that there was any truth in either of these statements. A number of innocent holders of the Union Pacifio stock disposed of by tho firm held a meeting this morning at the office of a prominent Wall-street broker and drafted a petition to the committee on securities of the Stock Exchange, requesting them to resciud their action making the stock nondeliverable. The interests of the Union Pacifio have been placed in tho hands of A. H. Holmes, whose office is in tno Mills Building. Mr. Holmes realized that it would be impossible for the Union Pacifio to regain possession of bonds that had fallen into the hands of innocent holders, and requested the committee on securities to release such bonds from their order of ' Saturday. Upon his order it was done, and the stock can now be handled on the exchange. There still remains a goodly number of the bonds the ownership of which will likely have to be settled in court. This afternoon it was said that a careful estimate of the net loss which will probably result from tho failure of Messrs. Field. Lindley. Weichers Co., is about SSOO.COO, of which 800.000 will probably fall on the Union Paciiie Kailroad Company, and the balance scattering. As an otfset to this loss there is tho investment which the firm had made in tho Cuban sugar refineries, which is estimated at SSC0.OO0. Whatever is realized from this will lessen the loss first mentioned. The announcement that the Union Pacifio company is ready to take up the bonds from present holders created much better feeling in Wnll street. Dr. Eugene Fuller, who is attending Cyras Vv. Field, this morning issued the following bnlittin regarding his patient's condition: "Mr. Field routed rataer better last night. He Is still very much prostrated and has greater bodily weakness. Strict quiet is most necessary.'1 The notion of the Stock Exchange in stopping delivery of the Union Pacifio bonds was sevcroly criticised on Wall street, and many seemed to think a bad precedent had been established. Mr. Ely, the secretary, tried to make it plain to the kickers that the best thing had boen done. He said that by the action of tho Stock Exchange a speedy adjustment was effected, whereas, if the bonds had gone on changing bands lawsuits would have been the result, and the bonds would have become so scattered that it would havo been difficult to have found them. It was rumored that Mr. Daniel Lindley would be disciplined or expelled from the exchange for polling the bonds on the iloor, but tho president says no action could be taken without a formal complaint, and none has been made. Mr. S. V. White deniesowinganything to Field. Lindley & Co., but that on the contrary that firm is indebted to him. Assignee Gould this afternoon admitted that there has been crocked transactions, but attributes it all to Mr. Field, and says bo in confident his partners knew nothing of it. Ho says Mr. Lindley could have handled nil these bonds en the, Stock Exchange without knowing the'r history. Mr. Lindley, on account of the 'serious illness of his wife, who is now at tho point of death, went directly to tbo Stock Exchange from his homo and did not go to his office for weeks at a time. Mr. Gould says that he found $500 assets this afternoon and there may be 3.000 available, which will be used in paying the clerks their salary. He denied having bad a conference with Cyrus Field in refcrenco to helping his son, but thought that he would naturally come to his aid. Cyrus W. Field has transferred his property, consisting of two parcels on the southeast corner of Lexington avenue and Twenty-first street, in this city, to Isabella F. Judson, of lrvington, N. Y., for 120,000. Frederick A. Warde. counsel for It. E. Dicta i.V Co., manufacturers of lanterns, at 16 Fulton street. New York, to-day obtained from .ludgo Pratt, of the Snprems Court, general term, of Brooklyn, an order of arrest and attachment against Field, Lindley, Wiechers & Co., of New York, who recently made an assignment. The order was granted. 1. E. Dietz claims that the defunct firm have $05.CO worth of stock belonging to them. They asked the judge, throuuh their counsel, that bail in the case be fixed at $100,000. Judge Pratt thought tho amount excessive, ana decided that bail, on the arrest, should be 5 ).000 each. Tfc? order of arrest was given to Sheriff Gorman, of this city, and will be executed to-morrow. Victims of the Corn Corner. Chicago, Nov. SO. As a result of the corn corner,, 100,000 bushels of November corn wero dofaulted this afternoon at the end of tho session of the Board of Trade. F. J. Ryan & Co. are defaulters to the extent of 00,000 bushels, and it is rumored that Blum & Egglcston are among the firms making up the other 40.C00 bushels. The reason thatKyan& Co. are defaulters is an injunction issued by Judge Tuley restraining tbem from filling tho order of Harry B. Schloss. Mr. Schloss contracted to deliver November corn when the price was 49 Vi cents. Ho did not have the corn stored, and when it became necessary for him to pay T.T cents a bushel for the 40.C0C) bushels he brought an injunction suit on the grounds that a combination had been formed and tho pneo advanced to an unlawful figure. 1 tits corn was contracted to Lamson Bros, and in turn sold by them. They expect to pay this shortage and bring 6uit against F. J. ltyan. The firms who are supposed to bo in the deal aro Bartlett, Frazier & Co., who are credited with being tho engineers, C. M. Armstrong, Andrews & Co., and Martin, the ftew York house. Left Not Even a liainond Chip. New Y'ork, Nov. SO. D. G. Undingling cV Co., wholesale jewelers, at 41 and 43 Maiden Lane, failed to-day, and confessed judgment for $3,054. The failure has caused a great deal of comment in the trade, and it was currently reported that it was due to the alleged outside speculations of one of tho partners, who was said to have squandered a large amount of money. Tho name of the junior partner was coupled with the alleged speculations. The liabilities are about SoO.oCO, and assets very small. Sheriiriieimberger took possession of the placo to-day. but found very little jewelry on hand. A creditor inquired if there were any diamonds left, to which tho wherifT replied that there was not even a chip. Run ona Bank fiom Slight Cause. Mansfxklx Vallf.y, Pa.. Nov. CO.
