naiun London, Nov.9\u2014There was a »umptnoua display to-night at the banquet marking the installation into office of Mr.Geo.Faudel Phillips, ihe new Lord Mayor of London.The banqueting hall of the Guild Hall was crowded, many of those present being of world-wide celebrity, including Prime Minister Salisbury, Right Hon.George J.Coschcn, First Lord of the Admiralty ; Lord George Hamilton, Secretary of State for India ; Lord Halsburv, Lord High Chancellor; Right Hon.Charles T.Ritchie, President of the Board of Trade; General Lord Wolseley, Commander-in-Chief of the Briiish forces , General Sir Herbert Kitchener, Sirdar of the Egyptian army ; Right Hon.Wm.Court Gully, Speaker of the House of Commons, and Hon.Thomas F.Bayard, the American Ambassador.Interest centered in the speech made by Lord Salisbury, it being the custom in recent years for the Prime Minister at the Lord Mayoi\u2019a banquet to make a statement regarding the foreign and domestic policies of the Government.When Lord Salisbury rose to reply to the toast \u201cOur Ministers\u201d he received an ovation.After thanking ihe Lord Mayor and the others present for the warmth of tha reception extended to him, he said :\u2014\u201c I thank the Ambassador of the United States for his presence here aud for joining a great historic meeting.By the few words he has uttered he has raised his own plans of observation so high above the mere level of party, that though contrary to practice to remark upon the internal politics of other States, I may be permitted without impertinence to congratulate him upon the splendid pronouncement the great people he represents have made in behalf of principlea which lie at the base of all human society.It is perhaps bathos to have to turn therefrom to the rail er important controversy his couotiy and ours have had in recent months.I only do sr for the purpose of expressing the belief that it is at an end.You are aware that in the discussion had with the United States in behalf of their friends in Veneruela, our question has not been whether there should be arbitration but whether arbitration should have unrestricted application, and we have always claimed that Deputies.He did not, he said, expect that France would try to bailie the action of the European concert, while, he added, the Triple Alliance had always been in sympathy with the British doctrines regarding the Eastern question.Lord Salisbury repudiated the idea that there was necessarily permanent antagonism between Great Britain and Russia.Such an idea was a superstition of antiquated diplomacy.He had, he said, good ground for believing that Russia had the same views.He did not desire to imply that there was any Power with which Great Britain would specially act.He only protested against the idea that any Power was specially Great Britain\u2019s opponent.He would not say there would be difficulty in concurring 4n any scheme to exercise force if the other Powers agreed, but he did not know whether the use of force was meditated against Turkey.He referred to the latest promises of reform made by the Sultan and said that the future alone could determine how far even such humble promises m these would be realized.He hoped the Powers would be able to convince Turkey that she was drifting in the current towards an abyss and that they would succeed io diverting her before she arrived at the edge.COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.The Daily ATeirs commenting to-morrow upon Lord Salisbury\u2019s speech at the Guild Hall, will say in reference to his explanation of the Venezuelan matter, that the terms of settlement, as stated by the Prime Minuter, are perfectly satisfactory, involving no surrender of essential principlea.The solution arrived at will enable each side to claim a victory.Lord Salisbury can iost\u2019y say he succeeded in protecting the rights of British settlers, and Mr.Olney can claim, with literal truth, that|he succeeded in bringing Great Britain to consent to arbitration.The Fait will say that the settlement of the Venezuelan dispute is wholly satisfactory to Great Britain and the United States.The Daily Graphic holds that the solution of the vexatious question reflects the highest credit upon all concerned.It fully justifies the intervention of the United States.The Standard will briefly welcome auspicious announcement.\u2019 The Chronicle will say that it finds Lord Salisbury\u2019s statement rather puzzling.It doubts whether settled colonists exist in any large numbers, bnt supposes it is all right.The Daily Telegraph says that the terms of settlement leave the dignity and interests of Great Britain and the United Slates unimpaired.EMBARGO ON CANADIAN CATTLE.The question of the removal of the embargo on Canadian cattle will be a leading topic in CANADIAN DESPATCHES.prove to be a very serious accident occurred on Saturday evening at Humber Summit, a small hamlet two miles south of here.As the Canadian Pacific Railway traio, due here at six o\u2019clock, was passing a crossing, it collided with a farmer\u2019s waggon, that of Mr.Greenward, of Kleinburg, who was returning from Toronto.The ,waggon was broken in two and the horses ran until they reached here, when they were stopped.The injured man was taken aboard the train and conveyed to the Dominion Hotel, VVoodbridge, where medical aid was summoned.The man is still unconscious.FOOLISH HANDLING OF FIREARMS.Tkeswater, Ont., Nov.9\u2014On Saturday 4ÇJûP7»ûF IM\u2019arriatra in\tfVlA I afternoon Archie Gillies, the sixteen-year old Deorob lYidmage lu mo | gon of Mr A Gillies, was accidentally shot.It seems that he, his brother and his chum had been out shooting.On returning they cleaned the gun and young Gillies picked up the empty gun, pointing it at his cham and remarked that he could hold up both of the others.\u201cCould you ?\u201d said the chum, picking up a cocked revolver lying on a table and pointing it at Gillies.At this juncture the revolver went off, the bullet enteriog the lower part of Gillies\u2019 throat and lodging in the shoulder.It was a case of \u201cknew it was loaded, but did not know it was cocked.\u201d Serious result* are apprehended.ACCIDENTALLY KILLED HIMSELF.London, Out., Nov.9\u2014Leonard Harding, while examining a revolver, was accidentally killed shortly after five

difficulty for months has been to define the stated districts and the solu-tion has come from the Government of the United States that we should treat our Colonial Empire as we treat individuals, that the same lapse of time which protects the latter in civic life from having their title questioned should similarly protect an English Colony, but beyond that, when a lapse could not be claimed, there should .be an examination of title and all that equity demanded in regard thereto should be granted.I do not believe 1 am using uuduly sanguine words when I declare try belief that this has brought the controversy to an end.It is a matter of no small significance to the Government that, at a time when anxious social questions which arc far more Important than political quest ions are troubling the United States and therefore troubling the world, w-e should revive any semblance of political difference that might hinder common action in defence of common heritages of society.IN a have had an anxious year at the Foreign Office, but we have floated into a period of comparative calm and I do not intend to trouble you »ilh matters that have passed &w'ay-Lord Salisbury then proceeded to the lurk-ish question.He repeated the arguments against Great Britain taking isolated action against the Porte and emphasized the fact that militai y occupation of Turkey would be necessary if such action were taken.Great Britsin, he declared, could not occupy the country nnless she established conscription.He pictured the risk of an Enropean war and then said that the six Great Powers must act in concert.Any one of these powers was able to veto the others.He denied that the Powers were acting on selfish principles.They had firm ground for a difference of opinion.The motive» influencing the British Government must influence all conscieolicu» rulers.Her Majesty\u2019sGovernment.he added, had been urged by the R'ght Hon.John Morley and others to abanded its policy of the past and renounce certain lands, in which case the foreign Powers would accept Great Britain\u2019s Dolicy.He did not believe in anything of the sort.At all events he did not see any cause to abandon tbe policy hitherto pursned or to relinguish an acre of ground now occupied by the British.Continuiogj Lord Salisbury declared that the concert ot Europe seemed to be in a more favorable c®.n* dition to extirpate the terrible die ease in the E»st than ever before He eulogized the speech made on Tuee day last by M.Hanotaux, the French Foreign Minister, in the Chamber of _____ The procession was n.ore nature of a military parade than usual, con tingeuts of regulars, cavalry and artillery, beiug included in the line.Among .the.features of the show were cars containing Ulus trations of the uniforms worn in the Briiish army within the last century and similir illustrai ions of those worn in the navy during the same period.There were also stage coaches containing men and women in the costumes in vogue in 1796.I hese were fol lowed by the motor cars now in use as street conveyances and behind them were allegorical cars describing the history of the city of London.The entire show was of* most gorgeous character.MEETING OF THE PACIFIC CABLE COMMISSION.In pursuance of the summons issued last month, the Pacific Cable Commission met at the Colonial Office in London this afternoon.The meeting was presided over by Lord bel-burne and was attended hy the Canadian representatives to the conference.Sir Donald A.Smith and Mr.Jonee.Sir Saul Samuel, Agent-General in England for New South csed by the Americans to put an end to the treaty was that they had a heavy war tax to pay and it was not fair that those who did not contribute towards paying it should benefit by the market the country offered.The treaty did not favor any particular part of Canada, bat I believe that all points were benefited by the trade it brought on.As a matter of fact the centres of trade will not realize the benefits so much as the country districts would.The real advantage is certainly for the farmers.As to the objections which would be raised io so far as manufacturing is concerned, I think we can safely let the Americans do that.Give me a reciprocity treaty in natural products, with better coasting laws and free canals and I will bo satisfied.\u201d SECRET MARRIAGE IN MONTREAL.The old adage that \u201clove laughs at locksmiths\u201d has just been illustrated in the marriage of Edward Baxter Felton, of Boston, to Mies Minerva L.Monro, of Westmouot.It teems that her parents objected to the marriage taking place while she was so young.Rather than wait another year the young couple were secretly married in June last while en route from New York to Montreal.Soon afterwards the happy bridegroom sailed for E trope without his bride.He has now returned to claim his wife and all opposition from the bride\u2019s family ia wisely withdrawn.ATTEMPTED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.K.Marois, a

set citizens thinking.It seems Britishers cannot hold property in the United States, or some of them, at least, unless they declare their in-teution to renounce their allegiance to Her Gracious Majesty.Why then, it is asked, ehould Americans be allowed to come over here and not only have the same rights as Britishers, but actually claim more, and raise a furore if they are denied.The law concerning alien ownership in the United States is plain.TheState Constitution, sec.33, reads : \u201cThe ownership of lands of aliens, other than those who in good faith have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States, is prohibited in this state, except when acquired by inheritance, under mort gage or iu good faith in the ordinary course of justice in th* collection of debts ; and all conveyances of lands hereafter made to any alien directly or in trust iortiTCh alien shall be void ; provided that the provisions of this section shall not apply to lands containing valuable deposits of minerals, metals, iron, coal or fire clay, and th# neceuary Und for mills and machinery to be used iu the de velopment thereof and the manufacture of the products therefrom.Every corporation, the majority of the capital «took of which >¦ owned by aliens, shall be considered os alien for the purposes of this prohibition.\u201d Hill\u2019s Code, section 2095 says :\u2014 \u201cAuy alien except such as by the laws of the United States are incapable of becoming citizens of the United States, may acquire and hold lands, or any right thereto or interest thcrin, by purchase, devise nr descent, aud he may couvey.l mortgage and'devise the same, and if he shall die intestate, the same shall descend to his heirs, and in all cases such land shall be conveyed, mortgaged or devised, or shall descend in like mauner and with like effect as if such lien (alien) were a citizen of this State or of the United States It will be observed that even in joint stock companies where a majority of the stock holders happen to be aliens their property reverts to tho State.Britishers here would like to see such i Uw passed in Canada.It is doubtful, how ever, if it would beuefit the country at large.It is doubtful even if Rossland would exist to-day had such a law been in operation two years ago.One thing is certain the law re ferred to has driven a large amount of foreign capital from the United States, some of whijh is to day invested in mines in British Columbia.The Americana themselves are beginning to find that this law works both ways.There is no d ubt but that tho same rich mineral depositr.found iu this district continue on south cl the international line, but no foreign caii;> .list will invest a dollar to develop them.Tito Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash , contained this paragraph last Saturday.\u201cH.W.Working of New Westminster, B.C., who is developing some mining claims on the eastern slope of Grouse Mountain in Washington, was in the city yesterday.He says that while tho claims in that vicinity are equally as gond a* those just across the border, the country as well ipinenlized and the indications similar iu eyery respect, and yet the foreign investor is ihy of patting in his money, for fear that he will be unable to secure a title to his property.They are pleased with tho outlook and would he glad to take and develop bnt for this fear.\u2019\u2019 TELEGRAPH TICKS.\u201cCHRONICLE\u201d DISPATCHES CON- DENSED.The President of Brazil, Dr.PrudenW J.d# Moraes Barroe, is seriously ill.Eight or ten inches of snow fell in the
