CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION ASKED. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. Jolibois moved that the constitution be re vised, urging that the sole remedy for the present situation, was to restore the people's right to nominate the head of the State, and thus make the people the arbiter instead of, as at present, the plaything of political par ties. He demanded urgency tor the mo tion. M. Bnrodet and M. Michelin spoke in favor of a revision of the constitution, in order, as they said, to abolish the Presi dency. The demand for urgency for M. Jolibois’ motion was rejected by a vote of 881 to 173. M. Michelin then moved for urgency for the proposal to abolish the Presidency. M. Jolibois supported this motion. M. Robat appealed to the United Repub licans to refuse their assent to the proposal, which, he said, tended to discredit the re public. M. Micbelin’s motion was rejected iiv a vote cf 369 to 191. The Chamber then adjourned until Thurs day. URGED TO RESIGN. M. Grevy, in their interview this morn ing said ho would leave to M. Clemenceau the fullest latitude in the choice of col leagues. M. Clemenceau replied that the devotion of the President to the republic was indisputable, and that he might render her a last service by resigning, in view of the fact that his authority had sustained a blow that was hurtful to the republic. President Grevy intimated that his re fusal to resign was not final. He asked M. Clemenceau to join with M. Flouquet, and M. Goblet, and M. deFreyci net in conference on the subject of his res ignation. The conference was of three hours duration. No decision was reached.

Grevy announced ibat he would appeal to other statesmen for **-*istance. GREVY'S REASONING. Replying to M. Clemenceau. President Grevy said that for many reasons he desired to retire to private life, but it was bis desire to leave the palace with honor. Therefore lie would remain m office until things were so arranged that he could take bis departure with dignity. He felt *hat this was due to his past life and the office he hold. Ho must avoid setting a bad precedent. He referred to M. Wilson ns the victim of a political intrigue against himself. The conference was renewed in the evening, when MM.

A More Feeble Government Never Held the Reins In Ireland. London, Nov. 21.—Mr. Parnell, in an in terview had with him to-day during a fly ing visit made bj( him to London, said: “Respecting the general situation, I may say that in my judgment a more feeble or inert government never held the reins in Ireland. They are teaching Irishmen a most disastrous lesson by their bungling inca pacity, teaching that the law may lie suc cessfully defied; for the law. as recently con structed by the Unionist majority in the House of Commons, is daily defied, and with impunity, by thousands of members of sup pressed branches of the league and by every Nationalist newspaper editor in Ireland. In fact, one of the extraordinary results of the coercion act and a firm and resolute government is that for every offense against the law committed before the passage of the coercion bill hundreds are committed now. I leave it to you to say whether Ireland's respect for the Imperial Parliament, the possibility of her continued government by the same agency or the solidity of the Union is likely to be increased, ot whether this administrative in capacity does not render much nearer the concession or such reasonable powers of self government as will make our people law abiding, prosperous and happy.” DILLON AT EDINBURGH. John Dillon, M. P., spoke at a crowded meeting in Edinburg to-night. He said the mistake made by certain great political leaders w-as that they sought advice from Castle lawyers and the landlord party in stead of taking counsel with men who had the confidence of the Irish peasantry.

George Rice, of Marietta, 0., tho Plaintiff In the Case—Several Roads Charged With Illegally Favoring the Standard Oil Company in Trans portation Charges and Facilities. Washington, Nov. 21. —Tho Interstate Commerce Commission to-day began the hearing of complaints in the Standard Oil Company cases. These are the complaints of George Rice, of Marietta, 0., against a number of railroads, alleging against some discrimination in favor of the Standard Oil Company', against others violations of tho long and short haul clause, and against all unreasonable and unjust rates. Fifty or sixty gentlemen are in attendance —lawyers and witnesses —and the proceedings are likely to consume several days. The complaint against the Louisville and Nashville road was read in full and the points wherein it differed from the others were explained by Judge Loomis verbalist. The reply of the Louisville and Nashville Company was also read. A general denial is made of unreasonable eimrgos and of violations of the long and short haul pro vision, and the alleged discrimination is ex plained upon the theory' that the Standard Oil Company furnished its own (tank) cars, while the complainant ships in barrels in the company’s cars, thereby causing a sub stantial difference of circumstances and conditions. DEPOSITIONS READ. The case having thus been stated on both sides the counsel for the complainants began reading the depositions. 'Fhe first deposi tion was that of Virgil Powers, Commis sioner of the Southern Railway and Steam ship Association. In substance, he testified to a belief that tho rate per 100 pounds should be the same whether oil is carried in tanks or barrels. His further testimony tended to show that tank cars recorded as of given capacity were in reality much larger. Fifty-seven tank cars which had been weighed showed an aggregate capacity of 44,000 pounds more than recorded by the company, upon which the charges were based. The deposition of Charles A. Sindoll, Sec retary of the Southern Railway and Steam ship Association, was similar to that of Mr. Powers. W. L. Halsey, of Huntsville, Ala., of the firm of C. H. & W. L. Halsey, agents of the Standard Oil Company, and J. M. San ford, railroad agent at Huntsville, testified with respect to the shipment of oil to the former in barrels, and to the rates charged thereon. THE UNION TANK LINE. H. R. Payne, of Cleveland, 0., Assistant Manager of the Union Tank Line, was sworn, and his examination consumed the afternoon session. Ho had been subpoenaed to bring certain books and papers showing the capacities of all the cars of his company, but acting under advice he had not brought them. The witness testified that the Union Tank Line cars were owned by the Standard Oil Company of Ohio. He couid not testify whether it was owned and operat.nl entirely by tho Standard Oil Company, of Ohio. Seine railroads paid mileage on tank cars and some did not. Ho was not prepared to state definitely what lines did or did not, nor what circumstances influenced the mat ter. The Union Tank Line Company owned about 3,000 cars. The other tank car com panies of the country owned over 2,200, in cluding the Green Line, whose cars number over 1,100. HENRY STILL IN THE HOLE. The Supreme Court Denies a Criminal a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Washington, Nov. 21.—A decision was rendered by tho United States Supreme Court to-day upon the application of Wil iam M. Henry, of South Carolina, for a writ of habeas corpus. Henry is now a prisoner in the Albany penitentiarv, serv ing out his second sentence for the offense of using the mails to carry out a scheme of fraud, an offense of which he was found guilty in the United States District Court for the Western dis trict of South Carolina on Sent. 11, 1886. The prisoner maintains that under section 5480 of the Revised Statutes he could not be le ally condemned to more than one term of imprisonment for offenses committed within the same six calendar months, and that he has already served out'one term and should be released. The court, however, holds that his series of fraudulent acts did not constitute one continuous offense, for which he could receive only one punish ment, and that the court had legal power to sentence him to two or throo consecutive terms of imprisonment for two or three separate nets of fraud. The motion tor a rule to show cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not issue is, therefore, de nied. Tho opinion is by Chief Justice Waite. APPRAISING IMPORTS. Report of the Sub-Committee of the Senate Committee. Washington, Nov. 21.—The Sub-Com mittee on Undervaluations of the Senate Committee on Finance has unani mously agreed upon a report which is now being perfected at the daily sessions of the Sub-Committee.

The Continental has seven agents in active business in Geor gia. Commissioner Wright at once issued an order to the officers and agents of the company to suspend business in this State uutil the deficiency had been made good and ttie company reinstated in Connecticut. Under the old laws of this State ho would have been powerless to take any action. The United States Court is tryingj a suit for $5,000 damages brought by Lane Mitcheil vs. the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad. Mitchell is a West ern cowboy, who last year engaged as a freight brakemnn on that road.

A Universal Belief at Dover That the Fault Lies With the Rosa Mary Eighty Persons Only Saved From the Wreck—Stories of the Survivors. London, Nov. 21.—Two bodies of victims of the sinking of the steamer W. A. Schol ten by colliding with tho steamer Rosa Mary have floated ashore at Deal. There is now no doubt that Capt. Taut went down with his vessel. M. Robson, one of the passengers saved, stated to a reporter that the Scholten had just weighed anchor when the collision oc curred. There were 800 life-bolts on board and most of tho passengers were supplied with them, but they proved useless w a majority of cases, as the people were engulfed with the ship. The steamer’s decks burst when she was foundering. The sunken vessel lias in twenty fathoms of water. The survivors will sail for New York Wednesday. EIGHTY SAVED. Dover, Nov. 21.—Eighty persons in all have been saved from the wreck. One of the survivors is named Rolne. There is another survivor in the hospital whose name is not known. Chief Engineer Edixhoven was landed ut Seaford yesterday morning. No more bodies have been recovered here. It is the universal feeling that the fault of the collision rests with the steamer Rosa Mary. Chief Mato Wells, of that vessel, states that she left Hartlepool Friday in command of Capt. Webster and with a crew of sixteen men. On tho night of the col lision there was a shifting fog. Sometimes it was dense, while at intervals it was clear. At about 8:30 o’clock, he says, the collision occurred. CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN AT ANCHOR. “IVe had been at anchor since 8 o’clock. Myself anil the Captain were on the bridge. The sea was of the calmest. Our lights were burning brightly, and the fog horn was sounding constantly. I first saw the colliding steamer off our starboard liovv. She was showing white and green lights, indicating that she was shaping her course to the starboard side We could not shift our position, being anchored and the tide be ing ebb. The steamer soon ported her helm and attempted to cress our bows. The tide, however, not being rightly judged, settled the ves-el on our bows, cutting her to the water's edge. 1 cannot sny whether it was the W. A. Scholten that collided with us. Whatever vessel it was she proceeded on her course and soon disappeared in tha dark ness. Wo remained at anchor during the night, and w’ere piloted to Dover at 7 o’clock in the morning. There we docked.” CAPT. WEBSTER’S STATEMENT. Capt. Webster states that the weather during the voyage was hazy. “Saturday morning there was a heavy fog, and the Rosa Alary anchored for three hours off Hal fordi loss. She proceeded at 11 o’clock, and passed East Goodwin lightship at 7 o’clock in the evening. The fog became so thick that she was compelled to anchor again at 8 o’clock, tho vessel being then from seven to eight miles west southwost of East Goodwin lightship. The collision oc curred about 1<):.80 o’clock that night. The forecastle lookout was the first to intimate the approach of a vessel. I saw a bright ‘ white light a point and half off tho starboard bow. Soon a green light appeared, indicating that she was pass ing our starboard bow. Accompanied by the mate, 1 went to the upper bridge and saw tho same lights. Suddenly the greon light disappeared nnd a red light was shown. Immediately there was a terrific collision. The steamer that struck us pro ceeded, nnd no attempt was made to ascer tain what injury had been done. The fog had lifted, revealing the lights plainly. We signaled for assistance, but none came until morning.” Twenty-three bodies have now been iden tified. INSPECTED AT NEW YORK. New York, Nov. 21. —United States Steamboat Inspector Dey said to-day: “! inspected the Scholten last May. She was in first-class condition. She had tho re quired number of life-boats and life-rafts.
