London, June 2. —Mr. Gladstone has Started for Wales where he will deliver a series of addresses in favor of home rule for Ireland.

Mr. Chamberlain’s speech was one more im portant and decisive than hitherto made by any Liberal Unionist. DENOUNCING GLADSTONE. Mr. Chamberlain, responding to an ad dress presented to him by the Liberal Unionists of Manchester to-day, warned the working classes against the falseness of Gladstone’s statement that home rule was an issue between the classes aud the masses. It was not the classes that would suffer most by the success of Gladstone’s policy. Such success would destroy the country and ruin the working classes. He believed the majority of the people were now so well aware of the dangers menacing them that the next general election would result in an overwhelming disaster to the Gladstonian partisans. GLADSTONE’S HEARTY WELCOME. Mr. Gladstone arrived at Swansea this afternoon. He was enthusiastically wel comed at all places at which the train stopped. Mr. Gladstone made six short speeches in reply to addresses, after which he excused himself, as his voice was fatigued. At a few places there was a slight hissing when the train stopped. Mr. Glad stone arrived at Swansea in good health. He will spend to-morrow driving. PARNELL IN BETTER HEALTH. Mr. Parnell has returned to London much improved by his short sojourn at the sea side. He has summoned a meeting of his party for Monday to discuss the further amendments to the coercion bill. SEXTON SERIOUSLY ILL.

O’BRIEN IN NEW YORK. He Leaves Boston Quietly With a Parting “God Speed " Boston, June 2.-William O’Brien, Den nis Kilbride aud Charles Ryan, of the Dub lin Freeman's Journal, left Boston this morning for New York by the 11 o’clock train on the Boston an* Albany ruilroad. A dozen or more admirers gathered at the depot to bid the visitor “good-by.” There was no demonstration of any kind, owing to the heavy rain, as well as to the general im gressiou that. Mr. O’Brien would not leave ; oston until this afternoon or evening. Gotham’s reception. New York, June 2.—An immense crowd filled the Academy of Music this evening to welcome Mr. O’Brien. Among those present were Mayor Hewitt, ex-Mayor Grace, Bishop Farrell, of Trenton, N. J.; Vicar General Smith and Gen. O’Beirne. Mr. O'Brien, in the course of his remarks, said: “I am more aud more astounded at the extraordinary extent of American sympathy. I tell you candidly that I fell pained and grieved at the praise that you nave so eloquently showered upon me, for we know that our humble efforts for Ireland would not have been much only for Lansdowne’s action has been a more success ful apostle for the Irish people than we can over he. Our feeble voices would only have told the simple tale, but Lansdowne’s deeds and Lansdownc’s mob have told tfie tale all the world over. We had some horrible moments in Canada, but that experience will lie lightly on my memory when 1 re member that those incidents have illus trated far more elaborately than thousands of my speeches could the true character of landlordism in Ireland, and what a terrible thing evictions are, as are being perpetrated in Ireland to day. There is no man who loves liberty or justice in the civilized world who does not know what a powerful force we are fighting against. How does the case stand between us and Lansdowne to day? Lansdowue has said everything he can say through the papers, and we have convicted him of hav ing laid waste the whole stretch of country, laying it bare of men, women and children, a country where in forty years not a single crime has been commit ted. We have convicted him of this, which he has committed rather than a bate one iota on his rack-rent. We have convicted him of that, without any statement by Kilbride or myself. We have convicted him by the very land commis sioners appointed by the Tory government and out of the mouth of his own agents. I venture to think that John Bright [Howls and hisses]—l speak of him with sorrow, rather than in anger—l regret that his life is ending in bitter winter, rather than in the glorious sunset in which Gladstone’s is ending.” [Applause.] bright’s inconsistency. “He (Bright) disapproves of my mission to Canada, in the same breath as that in which he calls Gladstone a traitor. I am not sorry to be in such company. Lans downe’s acts have justified us in coming here to convict him, out of his own mouth, of the crime we have charged him with. It he has men in Canada to carry out his diabolical work, If their law can be called upon to stop us from denouncing him, I will do it on the free soil of America. Lans downe started for Toronto the same day we started for Canada. He insnired those who canned out his outrages, and those were the men who yoked themselves like jackasses to his carriage. HIS BODY GUARD. “I charge him here with that crime to night. We went to Canada with four representatives of the New York press with us. These men were literally and truly our saviors. The mob would have trampled us to death but for the powerful shield of pro tection thus thrown over us.” Mr. O’Brien closed with a review of the Irish question, and predicting the ultimate success of con ciliation over coercion. Mr. Kilbride, an evicted tenant, a companion of Mr. O’Brien, spoke briefly. Letters of regret were read from Gov. Hill, ex-Gov. Headley of Ohio, Archbishop Corrigan, Roseoe Conkling, and others. A series of appropriate resolutions of welcome were then adopted. A LIVELY VOLCANO. The Intense Heat Keeps Curiously In clined Parties at a Distance. Tombstone, Ari., June 2. Senor t ’antpa, who has just arrived from Nacesari, states that authentic news has reached Oposura that at the time of the first earthquake a volcano broke out on the Chihuahua side of the Sierra Madre mountains Mar Piedras Verdes, and about, thirty miles west of Casas Grnndes. Different parties, number ing some thirty persons in all, have gone from Casas Grandee to ins|iect the volcano, hut owing to the intense heat they have been unable to approach nearer than within three miles of the mass of molten lava, which pours down the mountain side, and which is estimated to extend fully ton miles from the crater of the vol cano. Dense volumes of smoke are emitted by day and night, and the glare by night from the burning mountain is visible for long distances. Gov. Torres, of Sonora, has directed that a party he sent from Oposura to inspect and report upon the phenomenon. A slight shock of earthquake was felt here Monday and another at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. A TRAIN ROBBER CONFESSES. All the McNeill Station Train Robbers in Limbo. Chicaro, June 2. —A special from Austin, Tex., says that John and Cheod Craft, Ike and Bill Ussery and Charles Buckley, the alleged McNeill train robbers, had a hear ing before the United States Commissioner yesterday. Buckley, to the astonishment of the other men, turned States evidence, and before he got through with his testimony, disclosed that he was in the employ of the Sheriff of BexarJ county, and had been for some time. He had been detailed to watch the men, and he and they had planned to rob a bank at Ruling, a town on the Sunset route. This, however, was abandoned, and on May 4 they planned the McNeill train robbery. A fellow named Hall was the captain of the gang. He and Craft, Ussery and others, not Known to Buckley, committed the rol>- Iwry. Buckley was hot with tin gang. The robbers' was to occur on May IS, but for some cause was delayed until May 18. Buckley, who is a very bad man himself and an ox-convict, was employed to get the prisoners’ confidence and expose their opera tions. ALABAMA CROPS. Very Favorable Reports From Forty Different Points. Montromkrv. Ala., June2.—The Advcr tisrr published the crop reports from forty special correspondent* to-day, covering all sections of Alabama. Tlie reports ore ul liiost a unit in agreeing that the prospect for coin and cotton is the best for years at this season. A good deal of rain has been failing everywhere for the past two or three days, but no damage is done as yet, and but little four is expressed of a serious wet spell. The oat crop everywhere, except in the j A DANGEROUS QUESTION. | PRANCE’S NEW CABINET STILL ON A PRECARIOUS FOOTING. Heavy Opposition to M. Rouvier on the Left Entrenchment Proposed A Doubtful Scheme for Revenue—Dis inclination to Discuss the Army Bill— The Paris Relief Fund. London, June 2.—The Paris press com ments indicate that in the Left groups there are 150 Deputies solid against M. Rouvier, and, therefore, that he will be unable to in crease his Republican majority of elevon; and any measure that would alienate the support of the Right would make the Cabi net’s extstence precarious. M. Rouvier hopes to effect the retrenchment of from sixty to eighty million francs from the estimates of tile Ministers of War. Marine and Public Works. He also hopes to gain 4,000,000 francs by the establishing of a revenue police to repress the practice of domestic distilling which is extensively prevalent in Normandy. The success of the scheme is doubtful as the NormanD.eputies will refuse to support any measure likely to deprive them of their seats. the army bill considered. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Bishop Freppel moved that the debate on the army bill be postponed until the next session. The question wa< a dangerous one, he said, from a foreign point of view, and France should not exhibit the weakness of the anny now while under the full work of reorgan ization. Premier Rouvier declined to al low any postponement of the debate. He said that the government intended to maintain the measure as a neces sity in the interest and for the honor of the country. [Applause from the Left and Centre.] The motion was rejected by a vote of 44fi to 60. PARIS’ RELIEF FUND. The fund for the relief of the sufferers by the Opera Coinique fire now amounts to 400,000 francs. A PARIS SENSATIONAL RUMOR. Paris, June 2. —It is rumored that in the Chamber of Deputieson Tuesday last M. Clemenceau snubbed Gen. Fen-on, the new Minister of War, who, he said, formerly stigmatized the promoters of the Tonquin scheme as criminals and now- entered tnoir service. Gen. Ferrou, according to the rumor, thereupon assured M. Clemenceau that the government would order the evacu ation of Tonquin. The moderate news papers call m>on Gen. Ferrou to contradict the story. rotelli's appointment approved. Rome. June 2.—The French government has telegraphed to the Vatican approving the appointment of Mgr. Rotelli as the Papal Nuncio at Paris. Mgr. Rotelli has been instructed to endeavor to restore the amity between France and the Vatican. A CUNNING GAME. $ 11,000 Secured by a Pair of Clever Swindlers. Chicago, June 3.—A special from Tracey, Minn., says: J. J. Hartigan, of this place, has just lost SII,OOO. A stranger named Powell came along and proposed to Harti gan to start a Iwnk. The organization was effected and the concern started, though Powell put in no capital to speak of. He then issued a certificate of deposit of an alleged brother at Tracey for SII,OOO. The brother went, East and had the certificate cashed by a liank in New York. Before cashing the certificate the New York parties telegraphed to Powell and received a reply that the money was on deposit. Powell left Tracey as soon as he had finished his part in assisting his brother to have the certificate cashed. A PANIC IN A CHURCH. Several Killed by the Terror-Stricken Crowd In a Mexican Cathedral. St. Louis, June 2.—A special from Chi huahua, Mrx., rays a terrible panic pre vailed here yesterday afternoon in the Catholic cathedral, caused by the falling of a candle, setting fire to one of the altars. Tlie day being a religious holiday the church was crowded to overflowing, principally with women and children. At the sight of the smoke the crowd became frantic, and the usual scenes of a terror-stricken, strug gling mass of humanity followed, Several children were killed, and quite a number of women were severely injured. The official reports of the numlier killed are not yet ob tainable. DIED AT HIS POST. Railroad Collision in Alabama—Three Killed and One Injured.

Washington, June 2.— Fifty -three post offices will receive the benefit of the free delivery system July 1 by reason of the cities having attained a population of 10,000, the post offices having returned a revenue of SIO,OOO or over during the past year. The Southern cities thus benefited are: Pen sacola, Fla.; Columbus, Ga.; Jackson, Me ridian and Vicksburg, Mis.-:., and Staunton, Va. Several post offli-es. some of them Presidential offices, will be abolished hy this change because of the consolidation of neighboring towns. spring cleaning. The White House is being thoroughly ren ovated and repaired during the absence of the President and Mrs. Cleveland. TO REVIEW ALABAMA TROOPS. Second Lieut. John F. Thompson, of the Third Artillery, has been ordered to attend the encampment of the Second regiment of the Alabama State militia near Montgom ery, Ala., commencing June 7, aud to in spect the troops. MEXICAN PENSIONERS. It is now- estimated at the Pension Office that the numlier of Mexican pensions claims will not exceed 20,000. Eighteen thousand, of which numlier 2,000 are widows’ claims, have already been received, and 2.200 Cer tificates have been issued. It has been de termined to increase the force of the division having these cases in charge, so that they may be turned out at the rate of 200 per diem. NO EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. The statements to the effect that the Pres ident made up his mind liefore he went away to call an extra, session of the next Congress for October, and so informed his Cabinet, are without foundation. The President will not call an extra session of the next Congress unless it U absolutely necessary. He does not wish to do it at all. Nothing hot a necessity growing out of the financial condition of the country would move hini to bring the next Congress here before December. He talked it all over with Secretary Fairchild before he went away, and came to tho con elusion that whatever tho future might bring, there was no such necessity ill the present. The President will probably wait until Die end of next month before con sidering the question again. By that time the effect of the contraction of the circula tion consequent, upon the accumulation of the surplus revenue will begin to be appa rent. V A TARIFF REDUCTION. One thing may he regarded as certain In this connection, and that is, that the admin istration is opixised to the proposed pur chase of the 4 1-2 per cents, of 1891 in anticipation of their maturity. It will suggest to Congress whenever it meets a re duction of the tariff tax as the best means of reducing the revenue in very much the same recommendationa as ivom sent to Con gress last year. Both the President and Secretary Fairchild believe in reducing the duties on necessaries and the raw materials of the necessaries first. Both think that the first reduction should be in the war taxes on wool. A HAPPY BENEDICT. All Go a Fishing to Celebrate the Mar riage Anniversary. Saranac Inn, N. Y., June 2.—The anni versary of the wedding day of the Presi dent and Mrs. Cleveland dawned beautifully at Saranac Inn. At sunrise there was not a breath of air stirring and the surface of the lake clearly reflected every tree, hill, moun tain range and cloud. But at ft o’clock, when the cottage party came over to the hotel to breakfast, n breeze had sprung up from the west and the white caps were run ning in the bay just off of Prospect Point. When Mrs. Cleveland sat down to break fast sho found a little cluster of four-leaved clovers at her place. She and the President were heartily congratulated upon the anni versary and were wished ail manner of hap piness and good luck. At 10 o'clock, after smearing their faces liberally with fly ointment, the President, Mrs. Cleveland and Dave Cronk went off in one boat; Col. and Mrs. Lamont&nd McCaffrey in another, and Dr. and Mrs. liosman in a third, to sj;>ond the day at Holt's pond, about three miles distant. They took lunches and unless the flies aud mosquitoes m ove ton annoying, will remain all day. When they return the cottage of the President will probably be decorated in a simple manner to recall to its occupant*’ memory the cere mony that took place in the Blnti room of the White House just one year ago. AN ENJOYABLE DAT. * Mrs. Cleveland soon caught the flrst fish. She also caught the second, landing it after a long struggle. The lunch was eaten in picnic fashion, and after the meal there was more fishing. A heavy shower came up at 4 o'clock, which put ap end to the sport after Mrs. Cleveland hail taken five fish. The President's luck was transferred to his wife, for he caught nothing. Mrs. Cleveland’s first, fish was a seven-pounder. Mrs. Lament. Col. Lament and Mrs. Rosman were also lucky in making catches. They reached Saranac inn ats:3o, during the lull in the storm, somewhat damp, but as jolly as if there had lieen no shower They found the cottage prettily decorated with' hunches of lilacs, birch leaves, wild cherry blossoms and ferns, arranged in masses and clusters over the mantel and about the pictures and mirrors. Across the face of the mantle under the shelf, were the figure* in pansies “'80”-“87,” a mound of wild flowers on the centre table and the vases filled with wild violet* and other wood flowers standing upon the writ ing desk, were simple reminders furnished by the lady friends of Mrs. Cleveland of her wedding-day anniversary. The party were fatigued after their day’s excursion and re tired early. the president’s return. Washington, June 2.— The President, according to a prominent official, will re turn here on Thursday or Friday of next week. This trip into the Adirondack*, the President said before leaving, is the only outing he expect* to get this summer. He will divide his time until the fall between his desk and st Oak View. The latter is be ing put in summer trim so that It will be all rcaily when he return*. congratulations from home. All the members of the Cabinet who are in town sent telegrams of congratulation to the President and Mrs. Cleveland upon this, the first anniversary of their wedding day. ON HIB DEATHBED.

Partial List of the Bills so far Signed by the Governor Complaint of the Lack of Care and Attention Given ‘the General Revenue and Other Im portant patters. # Tallaharskk, Fla., June 2.— This morning the railroad commission bill was passed by the .Senate and at once was sent to the House, where it was referred to a committee for immediate action. The committee reported on it, and under a sus pension of the rules the hill was passed and ordered enrolled for presentation to Gov. Perry. Another attempt, to pass iv game law failed, as did several other matters of lesser importance. A large number of bills were signed hy the Sjieaker in open session and sent to the Governor after the President of the Beuato%ad signed them. THE GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL. The general appropriation bill was per fected to-dav and presented to tho Governor, together with many others, which have en gaged his attention during the entire day. The general revenue bill was considered with much warmth, and many violent changes were proposed to it, many of which were adopted, and the bill now goes on its way to completion, without pro|ier deli'iera tion and care. The mechanics’ lien bill which has lieen watched so anxiously, went to the Governor to-day. The general election laws have given considerable trouble, and the bill as it is framed is far from perfect in its provisions. The House passed the hills granting a charter to DeLand, incorporating the Bt. John’s River Confsrenee College at Orange City, legalizing the city government of trie town of Eustis, and to regulate the practice of.dentistry. The hill providing for the ap pointment, of an insjiector of fertilizers was indefinitely postponed. EDUCATIONAL MATTERS. The State has been amply supplied with schools by the legislature. Sufficient ap propriations have lieen made for the East Florida Seminary at Gainesville and for the Agricultural College at loke City: two State normal schools have lieen established, one at DeFunink for the white teachers of the State ami one at Tallahasaee for the col ored teachers. In addition to this ahundant. provision has lieen made for the common schools. This judicious provision for the schools is very creditable to the legislature. The resolution providing for the location of an experimental agricultural station in South Florida proposes to use only the funds appropriated hy the United States government for that purpose, the resolution of the legislature being intended only to give assent to the establishment of the pro ject and to locate it where it will ha most advantageous to the State. SOME OF THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED. The railroad commission bill has passed both houses and is now being engrossed for the Governor’s signature. The Senate changed the allotment of representation ba the several counties of the State by giving one each to Ciay, Bradford, Baker, Bre vard. Dade, Calhoun, DeSoto, Holmes, Franklin, Hernando, Taylor, Levy, I>afay ette, Sumter, Liberty, Manatee, Citrus, Pasco, Washington, Aval ton and Wakulla, All the other counties get two each, and this will probably be accepted. The House to-day indefinitely postponed the bill pro viding new regulation* for the depo3it, of the State fund. The bill fixing the terms for the Second Judicial circuit, a bill to prevent Cibling. a hill appropriating $7,500 to the e City College, a bill for the protection of females under 17 years of age, a bill making additional appropriation for the legislative expenses, and a bill regulating the fees for official abstracts passed the House. The Senate to-day c-imfirmed Judge Baker as Circuit Judge of the Jacksonville circuit. Gov. Perry signed a largo number of bills to-day. Among them were the Jacksonville amended charter bill, the hill relating to the redemption of the tax sale certificates, the hill granting anew charter to Tampa, the bill incorjiomting the Pres byterian church at St, Augustine, the bill fixing the pay of the mem -I>oi-s of the officers of the 1 .legislature, the bill paying the claim of Ocala against the State, the hill incor porating the Georgia, Florida and Key West Railroad Company, empowering them to build a railroad to the city of Key West; the hill incorporating the Suwannee and Gulf Railroad Company; also several memo rials to Congres* for needed improvements. To-morrow the apportionment bill, the gen eral revenue hill and other very inqiortant mensures will be prepared for the signature of Gov. Perry. SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR. The Governor has signed the following acts passed by the prerent Legislature: An act to change the boundary line lie! ween the counties of Marion and Putman, which ex tends from the Ocklawaha river to Jstke George; an act to regulate the sale of seed cotton in the Stab 1 ; an act locating the boundary lines I between the counties of Tay lor and Lafayette; an act to make all moneys and property of railroad companies in the hands of their officers, agents or em ployes subject to garnishment for judg ments; on act to allow jurors to be chal lenged in Justices and County Judges courts in civil cases; an act fixing the termsforMhe Circuit Court in the Fifth Judicial circuit of Fiorida; an act to incorporate Wood lawn Cemetery Association at Maclenny, hi a.; an act in relation to issuing marriage licetusA; an act to presents’ a rule of evidence on the trial of suite against ruilroad companies for injuring or killing live stock prior to the passage of the act; an act to prevent the summoning of unnecessary jurors in crimi nal cases; an act making appropriations for the East Florida Seminary, an ect extend- ing the charter of Mip Apalachicola and Alabama Hail road Company; an act, grant ing certain oystar privilege,-, on Indian and Banana rivers to Carrier 8.
