Reconstruction May Take Place Dur flip "Pfic.for "R.PfiPSt!. m5 lUe SlBi PREMIER SALISBURY'S ILLNESS. Will Not Be Able to Perform His Duties at the Foreign Office for the Present Observance of St. Patrick's Day in England and Ireland Parnellite Leader's Clever Tactics Troops Concentrating on Transvaal Frontier. (Copyright.

1S9S, by tie Associated Presa.) London, arch IS The interest of the English political world now centers in the Marquis of Salisbury's hea.h and air Is full Tumors of impending changes in the cabinet. In addition to influenza the premier is suffering from depression and a form of "brain fag," as a friend puts it, which will render it impossible for him to continue his present arduous labors ait the foreign office. 'is believed he will remain premier, but the reconstruction of the cabinet is probable during itie Easter recess. The temporary instalment of A. J.

Balfour, the first lord of the treasury and government leader in the House of Commons, the bead of the foreign office, exercises the minds of all 'parties. The Liberal Union'i'Sts eny that i't has any significance iikely to prejudice their political status and insist merely a stop gap arrangement. Mr. Balfour has no special training or liking for foreign affairs, but 'lie 'is waru uly in sympathy with his uncle's views in regard to the present 'troublesome international relations and the fact tha'c tie was chosen to direct the foreign office indicates that his policy, for the present at least, will be conducted upon the Marquis of Salisbury's lines. It is regarded as certain that George N.

Curzoii, the parliamentary secretary for the foreign office, will be admitted into the cabinet at the first opportunity. He has made rapid advances in the estimation of politicians, especially during the past few weeks. Even his political opponents and "the important weekly papers are sounding his praises for the skillful manner in which he has handled ticklish questions in the House of Commons. St. Patrick's Day was more generally celebrated on Thursday in this city than usual.

The shamrock was to be seen on all sides and at the Birmingham Assizes, the Lord Chief Justice. Baron Russell of Kilowen, appeared on the bench with a sprig of shamrock pinned to his robes. The Duke of Connaught, escorting the Duchess of Connaught, who opened the Irish industries sale at Lansdowne House, London, had a hunch of shamrocks in his buttonhole, and Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford and other Irish members of Parliament of note, all sported the emblem. At Dublin the principal event of the celebration of St. Patrick's Day was the trooping of the colors in the Castle Yard, Lord Roberts of Kandahar, the commander in chief of the forces in Ireland, commanding the troops, which went through the evolutions brilliantly 'before the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Cadogan and a distinguished party, including the Duchess of Manchester and the Marquis of Ormonde.

All displayed clusters of shamrock. In London the day was observed at the guard mount at St. James' Palace, where the band played Irish airs and a big crowd attended the Irish industries sale at Lansdowne House. The list of patronesses included almost all the royal family. Ladies Lansdo wne, Waterford, Dufferin.

Blandford and Fingall were among the indefatigable saleswomen. Many of the stall holders wore green. It is proposed to found a university scholar ship in honor of Charlotte Vonge. An appeal to the public says this will be done in recognition of her "greait services as t.he pioneer of that religious and high toned literature for young people, which for the last fifty years has been the special glory of England and the admiration of America and other countries." Among those who are supporting the scheme are the Princess of Wales, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duchess of Sutherland and many bishops. John Redmond, the Parnellite leader, has adopted very clever tactics to force a hearing on the subject of Ireland's overtaxation from the House of Commons.

He has put down his motion about the financial relations between Great Britain and Ireland, in which matter he is acting as spokesman for all sections of the Irish members, for the evening of the budget. He cbiained priority, and by his action Ihe budget is blocked and the chancellor of ihe exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, will be unable to make his annual financial statement uiutil the Irish debate has first taken place. It is generally believed that, this action will force the government to provide facilities for a discussion of the question, which up to the present the ministers have refused to do. Colonel John Hay, the United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James, who has been traveling in Egypt, arrived at Athens on March 7, and the next day he was Invited to the palace and bad a private conversation, of an hour's duration, with King George of Greece.

Colonel Hay left Athens on the 11th. with his family, and sailed from Patras for Venice. He returns to London on Sunday. Bishop Hartzell, the Methodist Episcopal Bishop of Africa, who is now here, has a mission from the President of Liberia to Great Britain and the United States. He will endeavor to obtain a treaty with those countries and with Liberia, guaranteeing the integrity of the little republic against Franco German encroachments.

He has heeu well receiver! at the British foreign office, where every sympathy was shown toward his plan, but it was suggested that it would be better, considering the interests of the United States in Liberia, if the suggestion of a treaty came from the United States. Bishop Hartzell sails for New York on March 23 and will go immediately to Washington. Where he hopes to meet with a favorable reception. The Earl of Rosslyn, the peer who has adopted the stage for a profession, is starting a new penny paper called Scottish Life. In an editorial announcement he says: "My sister, the Duchess of Sutherland, offers you an interesting story and among other writers are the Marquis of Lome and Ladies Randolph Churchill and Warwick." The huge surplus of the present financial year and the high price of consols finds the government with more money on its hands than it needs, and it has been decided to spend 2,500,000 ($12,500,000) in buying sites and erecting buildings for the great public departments, including a new war office.

The premier's brother. Lord SackvllQe Ce cil, left 250,000 almost entirely of his own earning.

Donations for the Cause. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Havana, March 14 Of the movements of the insurgents the news that reaches tho Havana general public is, at best, meager and contradictory. Many of the advices from the Eastern provinces must come by steamer, the Xorth' or South coast. It is known that since the recent arrests here for conspiracy, a very considerable number of young Cubans have left Havana for the field. A high official is authority for the statement that there are constant donations of money from residents in this and other Cuban cities Gomez in the field or the Junta in New York.

There is a well accredited story of a rich Cuban resident in one of the principal cities of the island, who, since the first of the year has sent $10,000 cash to the J.unta and as much more to the insurgent government. is averred that while many of the Spanish officers have net been paid for four months and a large proportion of the soldiery has not received a cent for six months, the in surgents 'are well clad, well fed and well armed, their only pressing need being small arm ammunition.

CALIFORNIA SCENERY.

Principal Homer C. Bristol Describes It to the Teachers' Association at the Girls' High School. The Brooklyn Teachers' Association convened yesterday afternoon in the lecture room in the Girl's High School on Nostrand avenue and listened to an admirable talk upon California by Principal Homer C. Bristol of School Xo. 113 on Evergreen avenue and Moffett street.

Mr. Bristol lived in Califor nia for upward of ten years, and is very famil iar with the country there. During his residence in California he visited almost all of the principal points of interest in the state and procured photographic views of portions of the most picturesque scenery which he had displayed upon a canvas during his talk yesterday. His audience was an unusually large one. Principal Bristol is an interesting talker and his familiarity with the scenes which he described and which were shown on the canvas enabled his to command the approbation of the assembled teachers.

In all eighty one pictures were exhibited. The principal views were those ol various sections of the mountainous territory. A map of the Yosemite Valley regions was first shown and the lecturer pointed out the principal geographical points. The map was followed by a series of views in and about the Yosemite valley. Yosemite Falls, the highest in the world, being 2,500 feet above the valley level, were shown and described intelligently.

The view of the valley was a pretty one. The Bridal Veil falls were also shown. In explaining the reason for calling the falls Bridal Veil Mr. Bristol said that when the wind blows upon them, which is almost continually, the water is spread out over the surrounding rocks so that it has the appearance of fine lace. One part of the falls has an uninterrupted descent of 600 feet and for 300 more the falls dash over rocks.

The roar of the water can be heard at a great distance. The Vernal and Nevada Falls, both making their descent through great crevices In the rocks, were exhibited on the canvas. El Capltan rock, which rises out of the valley 3,000 feet, made a striking picture, as did also the Three Brothers, a trio of rocks towering high'above the valley like si lentsen tinels. A view of a portion of the valley in winter, showing the great, trees covered with snow and ice, wa one of the prettiest exhibited. Hutchinson's cottage, the home of a mountaineer of that name, was sbown, and Mr.

Bristol said that the abode of Hutchinson is envied by almost everyone who sees it. It is a particularly pleasant spot in the summer. A picture was shown of iMirror Lake and Mr. Bristol said that the retlecrion of the scenery in the lake at sunset was more beautiful than the real thing. The Royal Arches, also of nature's handiwork; Liberty's Cap.

a great rock, and Glacier Point. 3.2S0 feet high, were other pictures exhibited. On Glacier Point several men were shown. From this point a wonderful view of the surrounding country can be had. From displaying the mountainous scenes Mr.

Bristol proceeded to what he called "pastoral California," and exhibited scenes in farm yards at the base of the mountains. These views were in colors. Excellent views and descriptions of the buildings and grounds on the Leland Stanford University property and a picture of the great telescope in the LU.k Observatory, which is used in making astronomical surveys, concluded Mr. Bristol's entertainment. Chairman J.

J. 'McCabe of the committee on lectures announced that the final lecture of the present course, under the auspicrs of the Teachers' Association, will be delivered by Inspector Hughes of Canada at the Boys' High School on April 12. The subject "Charles Dickens." will be VERDICTS IN TWO CASES. Mrs. Nennig's Death Caused by Shock, and an Electric Wire Held Responsible for Lawson's Death.

On the strength of the report of the autopsy on the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Nennlg. who died suddenly at her home, 413 Warren street, on Sunday morning last, a coroner's jury last night brought in a verdict that death was due to a rupture of the heart caused by excitement. Mrs. Nennlg had a quarrel with Thomas Cash, with whom she was living, on the morning in question, during which, it Is said, she was struck by Cash in the breast.

Shortly after the alleged assault Mrs. Nennlg fell dead. Daniel Nennlg, the woman's son. and several other wituei.es testified to seeing Cash aim a blow at the woman with his clenched fist, but no one saw the blow struck. The coroner I read tho report of the autopsy.

The physi in itself produce death, but which was caused by a blow. The woman was suffering from fatty degeneration of the heart and It was claimed that the blow in itself would not pro duce death in a healthy person. The jury brought in a verdict, accordingly. In the case of Martin Lawson, a Dane, who met his death by coming in contact with a dangling telephone wire which crossed an electric light wire, at the corner of Fourth avenue and St. Marks place, on the night of March a jury rendered a verdict that the deceased met his death by an electric shock.

It also charged the electric light company with negligence. It was testified to that the wire had been hanging from the pole for eight hours and the company had been notified by the police and failed to remove it. THE HIGH HATS ABANDONED. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: For over thirty years I have enjoyed the St. Patrick day parades, formerly in New York City and lately in Brooklyn.

You may talk a'bout your military parades, your crack regiments. Seventh. Twenty second. Twenty third and others, or even the Grand Army bodies, but you see the same over and over again. On Patrick's day you will find things altogether different.

The marshals are all decked in green plumage. The green and gold trimmed regalias carried by the rank and file and the go as you please marching nil attract your attention: and yet I felt disappointed, for the Irish have abandoned that which I think made their St. Patrick's parade attractive tho hats which they formerly used to wear and which lent so much dignity to their line of march.

It was not received until yesterday, and is as follows: llnnr brother Luke Yours received, and irl.id htur Ibjo all are well rneie is SOIlu.

I went up again and the same thing happened. Well, I about gave up then, for my min i was almost gone. Fveryt li ing shot through my mind and 1 thought I was a goner, sure.

Brooklyn. March 17. lSi'S. for 1 I I I i 1 I 1 i I I President Parsons told of the combination of the two Polytechnic organizations and stated that, it would result, in great good to the institution. What, this institution needed as much as anything else was the moral support of t'he community and the loyal alumni would serve to bring about this end.

President Parsons said that he hoped for greater enthusiasm among the alumni and believed that the gathering before him would be of groat benefit in that direction. He read a lefter or regret from Charles A. Moore before introducing Dr. Cochran. There was long and prolonged applause when the president of the Institute got up to reply.

He stated that he was not prepared for a set speech, but. incidentally, could tell the old men something about the institution. "In 1889," he said, "the annual report showed that we had received from various sources of endowment, and the like, about since ISiM. At the time of that report there was ubout S30.000 in the treasury. It wax that it was necesssary for us to extend the course of instruction and to meet this demand $75,000 was necessary.

This came and our building went up and a plan of study was marked out. Our expenses Increased to $lt. 000 a year. Now we have arrived at a point where a greater demand is made upon us. Our field must be broadened and in order to put us on a permanent footing $200,000 in endowment is required.

This is what we want and this is what we must have. Here In Brooklyn we have had no help from tho outside for higher education and now if this insi Union is to meet the demand made upon It, financial support is necessary." Dr. Cochran drew a picture ol" the institution he had in mind and to which it was bis plan to build the Polytechnic up an institution where the arts anil sciences in all branches could be taught, an insiiiuiion that will give a great. liberal and technical education. He predicted that Brooklyn would have such an Institution as that and called upon the men before him to see to it.

thai it would be the Polytechnic. This sentiment met with hearty response. Duncan Eduvards was introduced to respond to the toast, "Trustees." and in a race tious strain told of Ihe character of that board and its duties. Dropping into a more serious style he told of the responsibility of the trus'tees and what they owed the Polytechnic. "It Is certain that this country will not achieve the destiny netore it.

ne said, unless we got two things more ships and more education." In conclusion he referred to tho loyalty of all graduates of the Polytechnic and urged them to give support to the plan to build it up inbo a great institution. "Old 'Poly Days" was the toast of William A. Avis, president of the Marine Field Club, who drew a picture of the old days full of sentiment and llavored with pathos. He felt like Rip Van Winkle coming home, he said, after his long sleep. It was a fortunate tiling that a man never forgot his school days and could always tell what happened to the niosi minute detail.

For thlw reason teachers should bo very careful in their conduct toward pupils. On the question ol teacners Avis pani a i tender tribute to the old Polytechnic professors of ihe past, and at the mention of each name the diners broke into applause. He was glad, he said, to sen such a unity of sentiment. among the old polytechnic men. That feeling should characterize tho club and make it distinct and unbiuc.

It should he a club where tho old man and bis whims should be honored as much as the young man and bis fancies. To respond to "Old Poly Stephen Borden had made the trip from Fall River, hi home. He is of the class of "JS and bad many reminiscences of the old days. Artemas Ward followed with a string of good stories, which were in reference to bis "Tom, Dick and Harrv" toast. He was no; a graduate 'if any Institution, he declared, but belonged to the class which had to go to work at the age of "I speak of this." he said, "because I want you to value the more that which you have and that which have not." Mr.

Ward was happy in his stories. He bad chosen "The Oyster" as his subject and stories were in reference to this. "College Men and Railroads" was the toast to which W. H. Baldwin, resident of the Long Island Railroad, responded.

He stated that in the railroad world there was great, need of good men, of educated men. and one I of the most conspicuous features of ins line 1 of work was that it had been built up by men not college ore 1. All raiiroaus were nMiiicr lug for men or this Kino. itie ran roan 01 fered employment in every variety of work. Other speeches were made by Professor Kellogg and several other members of the Polytechnic faculty.
