SALISBURY’S FIRM STAND.

Approves Pan."_eefote’s Position on * the Bering Sea Question. London, Nov. 14. —The correspondence of the British government with Sir Julian Pauncefote, British ambassador to the United States, upon the question of the Bering sea compensation from May, 1894, to August, 1895, was issued last night. Lord Salisbury writes Pauncefote: “The arguments you advance to support our claims have the entire approval and concurrence of the government. The attempt made by Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama, chairman of the United States senate committee on foreign relations, to dispute them seems largely founded on misapprehension, and the government cannot doubt when the facts are placed before the public of the United States the liability of the United States to make compensation, which has never been denied by the government, will generally be recognized, both in and outside of congress.”

Tim Healy Turned Down. Dublin, Nov. 14. —There were 100 delegates present at the meeting of the Irish National federation yesterday, called to consider the resolution expelling T. M. Healy from that organization. Mr. Loudon’s motion to remove Messrs. Healy, Arthur O’Connor, Dr. Fox, William Murphy and Joseph Mooney from the executive committee was adopted. Messrs. William Murphy and Joseph Mooney were, according to the terms of the resolution, also removed from the position of treasurers of the federation. This resolution of removal was adopted by a vote of 47 to 40, and amid cheers and counter-cheers, the meeting adjourned. Rain and Snow in the West. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 14.—A heavy rain was general Tuesday night and yesterday all over Nebraska, South Dakota, lowa and Kansas, and it is still raining. There is either rain or snow all through the Missouri valley and west of the Colorado line. West of Long Pine the rain merges gradually into snow and a heavy snow storm is reported from the Black Hills. All the roads that enter Omaha report heavy rains along their lines. Plainfield, Wis., Nov. 14. —A heavy snowstorm prevailed yesterday, the worse of the season. Sleet followed. Grain Blockade at Buffalo. Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 14. —There is no let-up in the grain receipts and the blockade at the rail elevators is constantly growing worse. The low stage of water is adding to the confusion, as many boats are on the bottom and block the channels, keeping all boats below them that could otherwise go to the docks and unload. The only remedy for the grain blockade is to allow the canal boats to carry some of the grain, but the railroads will not turn over a bushel as yet to the boats, although it is very apparent that they are flooded with the work.

Advises as to Monroe Doctrine. London, Nov. 14. —The Graphic, commenting on the articles in the North American Review supporting the Monroe doctrine, says that if the people of the United States really care one cent for these Indo-Spanish republics, which is doubtful, the course of the government is clear. They must formally undertake the duties of a protection power, or, better still, annex these territories altogether. England, the Graphic concludes, will have little objection to either solution of existing difficulties. Resigns the Presidency. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 14.—At the business meeting of the Christian Workers’ managing board yesterday the Rev. R. A. Torrey of Chicago resigned the position of president, and the Rev. Russell H. Canwell, pastor of the Temple of Philadelphia, was elected to succeed him. Mr. Torrey has been the president of the body since its organization in 1890. Press of business is his reason for beginning. Brute Threatened with Lynching. Monmouth, 111., Nov. 14. —Shilo McIntyre, a man 50 years of age, is in jail here awaiting a trial for murder. Saturday night he inflicted injuries on Luella Merritt, a 14-year-old girl, who was staying at his home, from the effects of which she died. There is talk of lynching the man and the sheriff has sworn in a number of deputies to guard the jail.
