London. April 30.—Lord Salisbury, in an
address delivered last night before the Prim
rose League at Albert Palace, the occasion
haing the sixth anniversary of tho death of
Lord Beaconsfleld, said the hollow agitation
jai-ried on during the Easter holidays by the
opposition had failed, and that the govern
ment's cause was the country’s. The gov
ernment stood in Ireland facing a vast ma
chine producing terrorism and crime,
against which the government intended to
struggle with all the powers Parliament
would grant. Mr. Gladstone's imagination
deceived him when he attempted to prove
that his party’s prospects were very bright.
The present Ir ish crimes bill would not com
pare in stringency with Mr. Gladstone's bill
of 1881.
imprisoned without trial.
Under the latter measure people were im
prisoned without trial. This could not be
done under the present bill. Suppression of
crime in Ireland did not mean suppression
of liber:v. Podceineti in arresting Bill
Sykes did not interfere with liberty. Yet
jtfr. “Gladstone condemned this crimes re
pression bill. A danger of the present day
lay in catchwords. Mr. Gladstone, who had
spent his life in changing his opinions, men
tioned those who separated from him in the
tope of a father lecturing his children. He
preached at, and almost prayed for them;
but it never occurred to AJr. Gladstone that
perhaps they bad something to complain of.
They were unable to change their opinions
in a night like he could. Lord Salisbury
prophesied that Mr. Gladstone would find it
difficult to gather around him any new re
cruits.
his present followers.
His present adherents had gone too far to
recede What had Mr. Gladstone gained;
asked the Premier. He had gained eighty
six very devoted followers of Parnell, wiio
had hmi challenged with having approved
murder and who had refused, or whose
friends had refused for him, to enter the
witness box and deny the charge, and this
course Mr. Gladstone approved. Mr. Par
nell had been assisted with funds subscribed
by men who never approved murder. When
n man was accused in such a manner it was
not open to him to put the accusation aside
with copious use of the elegant vocabulary
his friends had introduced into the House of
Commons. He was bound to enter the wit
ness box and deny the charges against him
most solemnly. How could Mr. Gladstone
go before the country associated with men
who refused to submit such a question to the
judgment of an English jury;
A FLOOD OF MISREPRESENTATION.
.• 'UfcNwaW did uot believe in the Glad-
Stone horoscope. The victory Mr. Glad
stone obmbJfl in 1880 was won by a flood
of misrepresentation that, could not lie re
peated The Conservatives were now an
organized party, powerful to refute false
nood aud disseminate the trut h. This con
dition of the party was largely due to the
work of the Prii nrose League. The present
government would, when it left office, hand
down unimpaired to their successors the
great trust of the empire committed to
their care. {Cheers. ]

MOTIONS FOR AN INQUIRY.
Several Gladstone Liberals desire to have

toe House to answer for breach of privilege
m accusing Mr. Parnell and other members
r oe House of complicity in crime, or that
air Gladstone propose the appointment of a
committee to examine the Times' charges.
A . ‘ srnellites have been consulted and
their leaders oppose both propositions. If
neither the Pornellit'i nor Gludstonians
uke the initiative in moving for an inves
tigation, it is probable that an independent
motion will be made, which bah the gov
ei nment and the Union members will sup

who will be willing to expose
themselves to these sudden and violent
changes, to this imperious insistence or ab
solute humiliation ? Gladstone will find that
on the Liberal side of the House the spirit
of Englishmen has not quite disappeared,
and that a leader to he followed must be a
leader who can be trusted to stand by his
opinions.
PARNELL’S POSITION.
“Mr. Gladstone thinks that Mr. Parnell's
position is perfectly reasonable and honor
able and that nobody ought to ask him to
clear himself. If Mr. Parnell and his asso
ciates were men absolutely free from sus
picion in this matter I would understand
that reasoning. But they belong to a party
of which a large wing has worked by mur
der and has been largely supported by the
contributions of others w ho openly advocate
political assassination.
PARNELL’S FRIENDS.
“Mr. Parnells trusted friends have mixed
on terfiis of intimacy withtho.se whose advo
cacy of assassination is well known, and the
language of Mr. Parnell and his friends in
speaking of the fearful crimes that have
been committed is not above reproach, being
marked by indifference to, and even by tol
eration of murder. When such a gravecase
of presumption exists it is uot open for him
to take refuge in a mere denial, or to think
that he can dispose of the accusations by
liberal use of the wide and energetic vocab
ulary which his followers have used in the
House of Commons.”
AMERICAN SYMPATHY.
Mr/ Gladstone writes: “I attach very
high value and importance to the manifesta
tions, now incessant, of American as well
as colonial sympathy with the Irish people
in the crisis created by the causeless, insult
ing an.d insidious bill at present before Par
liament, apart form particular and more or
less formal acknowledgments. lam not of
the opinion that it would be proper or expe
dient for me to take it upon myself to ad
dress a>\y general communication to Ameri
cans on this subject, which, however,
I have noticed and may agaiu
notice in Parliament. Still, 1 am
very anxious that the people of this coun
try should have the means of understand
ing how much beyond the range of any sec
tional impulses and how truly national the
movement in the United States has become,
and in this view I would recommend that
an endeavor should be made to present
some estimate of the aggregate numbers of
persons by which the recent meetings in
America have been attended, and likewise
and especially an estimate of the number of
Governors, Mayors, Senators, Representa
tives, clergymen, and other official or
highly responsible persons by whom such
meetings have been countenanced, or sup
ported.’’
THE TIMES SHOULD PROVE IT.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, in a speech
at East. London to-night,indorsed Earl Silen
cer’s recent assertion that there was no evi
dence which showed that the Parnellites had
ever associated with criminals. He further
said that in view of Mr. Parnell’s denial of
the accusations made against him. it re
mained for his accusers to substantiate
their charges. The Parnellites are
indignant at Lord Salisbury’s
speech at Albert Palace and there is some
talk of bringing his remarks under notice of
the House of Commons.
It is reported that as a result of the re
iteration of its charges by the Timex an ef
fort will lie made to bring the editor and
publisher of that paper before the House of
Commons and make them prove, if they
can, the truth of the allegations made by
them.
The charges against the Parnellites were
brought to divert attention from the real
question. Mr. Chamberlain’s statement
that Mr. Gladstone refused to modify his
bili was unfounded. The failure cif the
round table conference was the personal
doing of Mr. Chamberlain and nobody else.
GLADSTONE A TRUE STATESMAN.
John Morley addressed an audience of
4,<XX) peiuons ait Wolverhampton this even
ing. Referring to Mr. Gladstone, ho said
that no other great leader had ever launched
a great issue or fought for a great cause
with a spirit so entirely forgetful of his own
personality and so entirely shutting out the
mean and ignoble considerations which
seemed to affect ignoble minds. The crimes
bill, continued the speaker, awakened tens
of thousands of Liberals to what they did
when they reflected Mr. Gladstone’s policy.
He repudiated the accusation that the
Liberals countenanced violence ami obstruc
tion in Parliament, and tliat they allied
themselves with men whose hands
were stained with outrage. He reminded
Mr. Chamberlain that ho in the Fortnightly
Review for February. 1886. advised that the
ParneDite leaders be taken into the councils
of the Queen. The round table conference
had been suspended because Mr. Chamber
lain, though conciliatory in conclave, con
tinued in speech find letter publicly to re
vive old bitterness.
UNIONIST BLINDNESS. H
The Unionists proposed to settle the ques
tion by ignoring five-sixths of the Irish peo
ple and dubbing their trusted represeutati ves
ruffians. On the general charge of com
plicity in crime brought against the Par
nellites, he had to say that the charge was
fully stated before Parliament in 1883, when
the Irish government, after the fullest in
quiries, found that the accusation could not
be substantiated. With regard to the latest,
charge made by the Timex , until
that paper explained how it obtained the
letter and the grounds for believing it to be
authentic, he should content himself with
Mr. Parnell’s denial. On the fringe of
every popular movement were some had
men, but it was a mistake to call the Irish
American home rulers the scum of tho
earth. The Chicago convention had re
sulted in the defeat of the party of
violence. The testimony even of prejudiced
witnesses was thut they had to deal not
with ruffians, but with all that.was best anil
most honorable and most country-loving
among the masses of the respectable men in
America. [Cheers. 1
In criticising the government's proposals
Mr. Morley raised u laugh by saying that
bankruptcy had ls‘<onio what gardeners
call a "tardy annual.”
CHAMBERLAIN’S ANSWER TO GLADSTONE.
With reference to Mr. Gladstone’s speech
at. the dinner of the Eighty Club last, night
Mr. Chamberlain says that Mr. Gladstone
has lieen iiiaivumtcty informed. He says
he was unable to obtain from Mr. Gladstone
u promise that he would make any impor
tant modification in his Irish lull, but he
uever advanced that ns the
reason of the Iniltire of the round table
<*onfcrrnce. He is not aware that any
attempt was mail** by Mr. Gladstone to
secure the ci>-o|>eration of the Lil'eral
Util* mints oil any Liberal question outside of
the Irish problem. Ila says it Is a I isms Ito

PITTSBURG’S PROTEST.
Pittsburg, I’a., April 20. —At a large
and enthusiastic anti-coercion meeting, held
here to-night, resolutions were adopted pro
testing against Ireland as a stop backward
in civilization, as a stain on England, and
an insult to the Irish people: also denounc
ing the letter attributed to Mr. Parnell by
the Guidon Times, which implicates him in
the Phoenix Park murder, as a foul and ma
licious lie. fabricated for the purwse of dis
associating Mr, Gladstone and the Liberal
party from Mr. Parnell and influencing pub
lie opinion in England and thus insuring the
passage of the '‘infamous coercion bill.”
The meeting was attended by over 1,500
persons and included a large number of the
most prominent citizens of Pittsburg and
Alleghany, irrespective of nationality. Let
ters of regret were read from Senator-elect
Quay, Gov. Beaver, Lieut. Gov. Davies, ex-
Gov. Pattison, Congressmen Boyle, Scott
and Hall, and many others.
SALISBURY'S MISTAKE.
He Thinks This Government Chag
rined at an Award.
London, April 20.—1 t is officially stated
that Lord Salisbury, in a dispatch sent to
Washington March 24, said that the British
government, understanding the action of
the United States in denouncing the fishery
articles of the treaty of Washington to be
in a degree the result of disappointment at
being called upou to pay VI, 100,000 under
the Halifax fisheries awards, offers to revert
to the old condition of affairs without pecu
niary indemnity, which offer, it trusts, will
commend itself to the American govern
ment as being based upon that spirit of good
will and generosity which should animate
two great and kindred nations, whose com
mon origin, language and institutions con
stitute so many bonds of amity and con
cord.
BAYARD NON-COMMITTAL.
Washington, April 20.—The Secretary of
State declines to confirm or deny the state
ment cabled from Loudon to the effect that
Lord Salisbury has sent a dispatch to this
government on the subject of the fisheries,
offering to revert to the old condition of
affairs without pecuniary indemnity. Sec
retary Bayard also declined to express any
opinion with regard to the subject matter
of the dispatch as cabled, which is not ex
actly news in diplomatic circles, the same
proposition having emanated from a Cana
dian source some time ago.
ONLY A FEELER.
Well informed persons incline to the
opinion that the offer referred to has been
thus indirectly and unofficially made as a
feeler to ascertain in advance how such a
proposition would lie received, as the repre
sentatives of the United States on the com
mission that negotiated the treaty of Wash
ington, and the Halifax Commission which
fixed the award made to England for use of
the Canadian inshore fisheries, expressly
denied that the privilege accorded to United
States vessels of fishing in Canadian waters
was more valuable than the concession made
to Canadian fisherman of a like privilege ni
the waters of the United States and free
entry of their fish.
THE DEPARTMENT’S POSITION.
It is safe to assume that the State Depart
ment never entertained the idea of renew
ing the treaty of Washington with the un
derstanding that a cash indemnity was
again to be paid to Great Britain for the
right to enjoy the inshore fisheries of Cana
da. The negotiations with Great Britain on
this subject are progressing, and the Hocre
tary hopes that they will result in a har
monious and satisfactory understanding be
tween that country and the United States.
Ho many applications for information and
copies of the treaty of Washington have
poured in upon the department since the ad
journment of Congress that 10,000 copies
have been exhausted and a fresh supply
ordered
FRANCE’S CROWN JEWELS.
Wives of American Senators to Wear
Some of the Glittering Gems.
Paris, April 20. —The exhibition of the
French crown jewels was opened to-day in
the Louvre. The palace was thronged with
visitors, mainly ladies. No one was allowed
to stop and admire the jewels, but persons
who were regard's! as possible purchasers
could obtain orders for a private view.
The rooms in which the jewels
are displayed are beautifully draped.
Orders from America, especially from the
wives of United States Senators, indicate
the probable destination of the greater part
of the jewels.

the office. A civilian accomplice has also
been dismissed.
A Queen Quits Her Husband,
London, April 20.—A dispatch from
Vienna to the Stantlanl says that the
Queen of Bervia has separated from her

differences are the grounds given for the
separation.

Washington, April 30.—E. M. Herrick,
President of the Pacific Pine Lumber Com

Redwood Manufacturing Association of Sun
Francisco, have telegraphed the Interstate
Commerce Commission as follows: “Our
two corporations, employing 6,000 to 10,-
(XX) men and about $-'10,000,000 capital,
have addressed you by mail stating that our
Eastern business has been entirely destroyed
by the operation of the law and asking
your interposition in our behalf. Mean
while will you all allow t-hh roads over which
we have been operating to give the old rates
aud so revive our business with the East,
provided the rate is open and available for
all.”
CALIFORNIA’S FRUIT INTERESTS.
A. busk & Cos., of Ban Francisco, have
telegraphed: “The fruit interests of this
State, which are of great and growing im

workings of tlie interstate commerce law.
Inasmuch as this interest- cannot avail itself
of water competition, we resiiectfully ask
that section four be suspended that these in

loss ensue.”
LONG SUSPENSION UNCERTAIN,
The commission have not had time yet for
consultation as to their final decision on the
appeal of the railroads for a suspension of
the long and short haul clause until Con
gress meets. They will not attempt to hold
such a consultation until they return
from their visit to the Southern railway
centres, on which they expect to start on
Monday. The rest of the time before their
departure they will give up to hearings,
such as that or to-day in tlie case of Massa -
chusetts when counsel were heard and wit
nesses examined. Bhrewd observers of the
leasings so far think that the Commissioners
will decide finally against the railroads.

A Legislator Makes a False Charge of
Bribery Against Fellow Members.
Lansing, Mich., April 30. —A sensational
bribery case lias come up in the House of
Representatives. F. L. Eaton, of Saginaw
City, interested in revisions of the charter
of that place, charged that Representative
H. M. Dakin, Dem., had given him a
list of members of the Legislature,
with the price for which each
would vote m favor of Mr. Eaton's
measures. After debate a committee of
investigation was appointed. Mr. Eaton’s
statements bail been sworn to, and it gave
tlie names of all the parsons mentioned by
Representative Dakin. The Speaker sum
moned them all before him. Mr. Dakin ac
knowledged the schedule of fifteen members
with the estimated bribes attached as his
own work, and signed a statement to that
effect. He further stated that he had never
approached any of the number ou the subject
of the charter. After the charge was made
in the House an opp.rtuuitv was given for
denial, and the clerk read a note signed by
Mr. Dakin denying tlie eharges in toto. lie
refused to allow his first statement to tie

Diabolical Attempt to Blow up a Col
lege Professor.
Cleveland, 0., April ‘lO.—A special
from Kent, 0., tells of a diabolical attempt
to kill Prof. Thomas Hanford, of that place,
with an infernal machine. A small box
was left in the hallway of his residence. It
was peculiarly constructed with a knob
at one end with which to open a small
drawer. Being suspicious Prof. Sanford
shook the box and a few grains of gunpow
der fell out. Upon a closer exaintnauon he
discovered several matches so arranged as to
lie ignited when the drawer was ojsnied. He
threw the box into the doorvard when an
explosion occurred which shattered tlie win
dows of an adjacent house. There is no
known motive for the diabolical deed.

ANARCHY’S DEATH KICK.
The National Working People’s Asso- j
elation Disbanded.
Chicago, April‘JO.—The Daily .Vries this '
morning says: “An event, which a year ago !
would have been considered of
startling importance, happened in
Chicago a few days ago. A for
midable organization, which filled the history
of Chicago for the year 1880 with terror
and detriment, drew its last breath and was
buried, and the anarchical groups of the Na
tional Working People's Association dis
banded. There was no particular excite
ment about this occurrence. None of the
once Influential and powerful leaders
attended the funeral. The burial of the
International Working People's Association
took place at No, lid Emma street in the
presence of about fifty men who still re
mained in the various groups.
THE GROUPS REPRESENTED.
“They were memliers of the Northwest,,
Southwest and Southside groups of the
International Working People's Association,
of the General Committee, f lic central body
of Internationalists, and of thp Lehr and
Wehr Vereln. Jacob Gnieuoberg, who was
choseA chairman, hi a lengthy speech an
nounecd the object of the meeting. ‘I
would suggest that we give a conservative
friend an opportunity to speak.’ The con
servative friend to whom he alluded was
one of the leaders of the Central German
Labor Union. His speech made quite an
impression on the scared crowd. After he
had finished one member moved that the
organization l>e disbanded. Heverul speakers
made a faint attempt to oppose the motion.
The conservative again made an earnest ap
peal. ‘You have no organ.’he concluded.
‘Yourname is mentioned with horror and
contempt even by workingmen. If the
lives of the convicted men now in the
county Jail are dear to you, disband and lot
ail past experiences he’ forgotten forever.’
The motion was finally submitted to a vote
and carried without a dissenting voice."
A UNION PACIFIC SCHEME
The Main Stem to be Unloaded on the
Government.
Lincoln, Neb. , April ‘JO —There is a well
defined rumor to the effect that the Union
Pacific stockholders are quietly preparing to
surrender the old Union Pacific mainline
for the government debt, and abandon their
Omaha and Council Bluffs termini, making
several branches of the Union Pacific,which
are owned by them independent of the gov
ernment line, anew system of lines
with Lincoln as their Eastern termi
nus. The main feature involved
in this plan consists of first, u through line
from Lincoln to Denver, with a connection
at Lincoln with the old lowa pool lines, and,
second, the linking together of all the
Union Pacific branches with this Lincoln
and Denver line making, with the Oregon
Short I fine and Denver and Rio Grande, a
new system to lie called the Lincoln, Denver
and Pa-ific, this to be con
ducted under cover of the old St.
Joseph and Grand Island road,
which, it is definitely known, is owned by
the old Union Pacific regime, who have
never parted with control of the Union Pn
rifle branch lines. It iR claimed that by the
f ime Congress is ready to act upon the Union
Pacific matter these lint's will rie completed,
and thelTnlon Pacific, shorn of it-sbranches,
will be ready to be turned over to the gov
ernment as a white elephant.

dead President.
SIR. DEPEW’S TRIBUTE.
The following is an extract from Mr.
llepew's sjieech:
President Arthur will lie distinx
guithed Ivitb for wliat he did amt
what he refrained from doing. The strain
and intensity of public teeling, the vehe<
liienreof the angry and vindictive passion:, of
the time, demanded tile rarest of negativa
as well as positive qualities.
SENSIBLE AND STRONG.
But, though not aggressive or brilliant,
his adminurtration was sensible and stronfß
and admirably adjusted to the condition*
which created and attended it. He s{>oke>
vigorously for the reform and
of the civil service, and when CnugressJ
acting upm his suggestions, enacted th
law, he constructed the machinery for it
execution which has since accomplished!
most satisfactory, though us yet incomplete
results.
ON THE CURRENCY.
On the question of currency and finance h<\
met the needs of public and private credit,:
and the tiest commercial sentiment of that
country. He knew the necessity for effi
cient coast defenses and a navy equal to t.luj
requirements of the age. He keenly felt tha
weakness of our merchnut marltje and the
total destruction of the proud position vb*
had formerly held among the nvtritiiw* tia*
tions of tin' world, and did whagfMcould te
move Congress to wise and patriotic lpfeUlk
*♦* - ■
GAINED IN POPULARITY.
There has rarely been in the history of
popular governments mi great, a contrast as'
in the public appreciation of Gen. Arthur at
the time of his inauguration and when he
retired from offiee. The President of whom
little was expected and niueh feared re
lumed to private life enjoying in *
larger degree Hum moat. of his
predecessors the profound respect and warm
regard of the fioople wii aou* distinction of
party. He was n warm -her rted, B<v ft!,
pleasure-loving man, but capable of the
greatest industry, cud ranee and courage
lie dearly loved 1 gratify his fr.en.is, but
if lie thought the public interest - so reouired
no one could more firmly resist their desires
or their importunities.

Kings of ancient lineage and hereditary po

HIS GREATEST AMBITION.
He said to me early in his administration*
“My sole ambition is to enjoy t.lie confidence
of my roup try men.” Toward this noble
ideal he strove with imdeviating purpose.
Even in the mistakes Uo made could tie seen
his manly struggle to be right. Once again
in private station and resuming the practice
of his profession, he mot cd among his fel
