ESTILL, President. j OCR TREATY WITH SPAIN IT IS TEBMINAELS AT THE PLEAS URE OF EITHER PARTY. tUhat Blaine Relies on to Prevent Spain From Declaring: It—The Heavy Loss cf the Mother C ountry in Her Flour Trade—Blaine’s Threat. Washington, May I.—The commercial arrangement, or “reciprocity agreement,” concluded by Gen. Foster with Spain is understood to be terminable at the pleasure of either party, but the same reasons which compelled Spain to asent to it are relied upon by Secretary Blaine to prevent Spain from seeking to terminate it. Secretary Blaine boasts of the coercion which foroed Spain to sign an agreement so obviously unfair to herself. Not only did he threaten with a diversion of our sugar trade to Brazil, but went so far as to use Cuba herself to frighten Spain. Gen. Foster went to Cuba, where Sec retary Blaine’s agents bad already stirred up a strung sentiment in favor of such an agreement as Spain ha* reluctantly con sented to, stimulating this sentiment as much as be could and taking careful note of all he saw and hoard. Secretary Foster was able to speak with power at Madrid and to command the active support of the Cuban representative there. WHAT WON THE DAY. The revolt of Cuba and Porto Rico and the establishment of their auconomy under the protection of the United States was the ultimate argument which brought Premier Canova to terms. Recognizing all the perils and disasters to Spanish trade which it in voked he yielded to superior force. THE FLOUR TRADE. The flour trade of Spain with Cuba will suffer first and most Instead of taking ‘>oo,ooo barrels at #l2 a barrel from Spam under the 30 per cent discriminating duty against United States flour, Cuba will take 1,000,000 at, #6 a barrel from the United States. The proposition of Premier Can ova to balance this with ihe free ad mission of tobacco into the United States was rejected summarily as being unauthor ized by tie reciprocity section of the McKin ley act. SURE TO BE APPROVED. There is no doubt that President Harrison w il give bis approval to the agreement, but Secretary Blaine cannot take anything for —antod with President Ilarrisou, and so civtary Blaine will say nothing about the sreem'-nt till President Harrison gets bulk. Secretary Blaine hopes to have a San Domingo reciprocity agreement ready by that time, the unratified treaty of 1884 being taken as a basis for it. The San Domingo commission has had several in terviews with Secretary B.aine al ready. Secretary Blaine is also hopeiul of getting agreements with Venezuela and Mexico before Jan. 1 next. He wants to get ai many as possible before that date, so that be may not have to divide credit with President Harrison. None of these agreements will be a treaty. All, like those with Brazil and Spain, will take effect at an early date and will need no ratifica tion by the Senate cr executory legislation by the House. INDIANS IN THE ARMY. Their Enlistment Apt to Solve tha Indian Problem. Washington, May 1. —Reports received at the war department of the operations of the officers who are trying to secure the enlistment of Indians in the regular army are full of encouragement, and the doubt ful feeling entertained when the project was first undertaken has vanished. Already three troops composed of In dians have been recruited, including one made up of Geroniuio’s Apaches, now at Mount Vernon barracks, Alabama, and the others will soon be organized. The resuits of this undertaking are, it is said at the war department, likely to be more benefi cial than was expected, and some officers predict that the whole In dian problem is likely to be peacefully and finally settled as an outcome of the policy that secures the enlistment in the army of a large number of young bucks who have heret fore been led into trouble through sheer idleness and lack of proper incentives to work. ANOTHER GOOD EFFECT. 80, too, the new policy is having a secondary and beneficial effect upon the Indian schools. It has been a common complaint that the Indian children, after gorng through the industrial schools, find no opening for active work when they return to their tribes. Ad jutant General Kelton says that the army is now likely to give employment to all of the graduates that the Indian schools are likely to turn out. There is room in the army for them and they will be reouited to serve as company cooks, post bakers, troop blacksmiths, musicians and in other places where the technical education received by them at the schools can be given scope with benefit to the Indians aud the army. SUBSIDIARY COIN. Ihe First Step in the fcffort to Get It in Circulation. Washington, May I.—The first of the steps contemplated by Secretary Foster for getting the subsidiary coin now in the treas ury into circulation was taken to-day.when the following notice, signed by the United States treasurer, Mr. Nebecker, was pre pared at the treasury department and will he sent to the bankß throughout the United States: The coinage of standard silver dollars au thorized by the act of Feb. "8, 1878, having eaen discontinued by the act of July 14, 1890, the treasurer finds it inconvenient to furnisa them otherwise than in the redemption of silver certificates or treasury notes, but will forward silver half dollars, quarter dollars and cunes to any address free of cost f transportation, by express in sums of S2OU or more, or -by registered mail in packages of S7O in exchange for any other kind of money deposited in the treasury, or any sub-treasury or depository bank. Re mittances for this purpose will be received by the treasurer and assistant treasurer in the form of drafts on any bank or banker in Wash ington, New York, boston. Philadelphia, Cin cinnati, Chicago, 3t. Louis, New Orleans, or ban Francisco. N ATIO N AL OBUGAI IONS. Secretary Foster Anticipates No Trouble in Meeting I hem. Washington, May 1. —Secretary Foster, In speaking to an Associated Press reporter to-day concerning financial, matter:-, said that m his opinion the government would b • able to take caro of all of its obligations. nd that m addition to tbo *236,000,000 of bonds a’ready retired by this administra tion, it would, in his opinion, add a considerable amount in the two years that remain. Concerning the SIOO,(MX).UX) legal tender redemption fund in the treas ury, the secretary said he did not expect that any condition of affairs would arise which would make it necessary for the gov ernment to touch It. He intimated, now ewer, that this fund might be used without legislative action in ca*e of absolute neces "ty to prevent any discredit to the govern ment Obligations. fpje IHofnitw ARRESTED FOR FORGERY. The Prisoner Gives the Cutting Off of His Allowance As an Excuse. Cincinnati. 0., May I.—Dr. R. C. Good wyn, alias R. C. Hos ton, was arrested yes terday by two private detectives. They had suspected the niau and had followed him to the railroad and were outside watch ing him when he reached up to adjust a wiodow hanging and thus exposed h:s tat tooed wrist. He sternly resented the insult of the arrest, but when he was tuken to the office by the detectives he confessed that he was the man whom they were teeking. The charge made against him is that of forging checks. A request to look out for hitn ctme April 27 from A. M. Browell of Richmond, Va. THE SPECIFIC CHARGE. The specific charge against him is forging a check upon J. P. Rickman of Henderson ville, N. C., which was cashed by the State Bank of Commerce at that place. Dr. Goodwyn is an Englishman, 25 years old, of fir.e appearance and well educated. His bogus checks were discovered in February last and he fled, being traced to many points, from which it Is inferred that be must have obtained thousands of dollars in this way. He admitted the Rickmau forgery and said in explanation that bii allowance from England had been cut off by his mother when she heard of his marriage to Miss Babcock of Syracuse, N. Y. Iu signiug hia name to au agreement to waive a requisition he wrote Royston C. H. Goodwyn, and said it was the first time he had signed his right name since Feb. 14, 1891. AN EXPLOSION AT A FIRE.

Hutch inson, the missing board of trade man .of Chicago, is now in the custody of the chief of police, who is awaiting instructions from young Hutchinson, to whom a message had been sent to Chicago.

SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1891. LABOR DAY 0A THIS SIDE THOUSANDS OF MEN OCT, BUT NO SEKIOCS DISTURBANCE. St. Lou’s’ Carpenters Win a Victory at the Ouiaet-Only a Very Small Proportion of the Coal Miners strike. A Big Parade at Chicago—No Strike at Boston. Washington, May I. —From a great number of dispatches from labor centers throughout the country the following is condensed: No demonstration whatever was made at any point in the Pennsylvania anthracite coal region. All the miners went to work as usual, and a considerable number of mines which have been Idle for some time past resumed work to day. Seine feein gis expressed by the an thracite miners on the subject. They refer to the disastrous Reading coal oompany strike of a couple of years ago, and say that while it was on the bituminous coal miners continued to work and their product was shipped to the anthracite region and con tributed largely to defeat that strike. WILL TAKE ALL THE WORK THEY CAN GET. Now the anthracite miners will take all the work they can get. Not all are making full time. Some are making half aud others three-quarters, but not many are entirely idle. The mine operators incline to favor an eight hour day as a ineau* of lessening the necessity for the curtailments aud sus pensions of work caused by an overstocked market. There were no strikes in the lowa bituminous coal fields aud but few iu the bituminous fields of Central and Western Pennsylvania. In all the other bituminous coal pr.xlueing states the miners are divided. Of two adjoin ing coal fields one was busy and the other idle in several reported cases. The eight hour movement is more general in the build ing trades than iu any otuer branch of labor. No disturbance has been beard from anywhere in the United States. MINERS OUT AT TRIMBLE. At Trimble, 0., 1,100 miners struck for advanced wages. They are divided on the eight hour question. At Lexington and G >re, mining towns iu tho same fields, the miners are at work, with no Intention of striking. At a majority of the places in tho Hock lug valley the miners were Idle to-day, but say it is not a strike, but Labor day. At Streatsville aud one or two other Hnekiug valley towns the miners were at work to-day. At most places where strikes were begun to-day the eight-hour question cuts no figure. This is the cat# at Brazil, lud., where 2,600 miners are out, and wages is the principal issue. There was no strike in the Belleville, 111., district. OUT AT OTTUMWA. A later dispatch from Ottumwa, la., says the miners of Southeastern lowa laid down their tools last night and say they will not take them up again until ordered to do so by the supreme officers of their union. They declare that they are not on a strike, but have merely suspended work. Between five and six thousand miners in the Pittsburg, Pu., district struok to-dny on the question of wages, the strike having nothing to do with eight hour day question. It is probable that this will be settled by to-morrow. In Pittsborg 3,500 men employed in the various building trades are idie ou the eight hour demand. The same condition provails in all the towns and cities in western Penn sylvania. Ohio and West Virginia within one hundred mile* radius from Pittsburgh. At Dequesue, 111., one of the places where the miners demand an eight hour day, 1,500 miners are out. They also de mand weekly payments. One mine iu this district grants the.e demands and is iu operation. TWO CITIES IN LUCK. At Cincinnati and Philadelphia no eight* hour demand has disturbed the building trades, but at Covington, Ky., the car penters have struck for nine hours with ten hours’ pay. A dispatch from Columbus, 0., says that nut of 12,000 miners employed in the Hocking Valley and Sunday Creek dis tricts only 1,500 are working. The remain der are awaiting the result of a conference with the owners on tho wage question. At Wheeling, W. Va., 1,000 miners quit work to-day to await tho settlement of t. wage question. HANGS FIRE AT BOSTON. At Bostou the threatened strike hangs fire. Whatever demands have been made were for nine hours. At Louisville, Ky., Labor day drew out probably the largest parade seen there. The day was pleasant, and was made a general holiday by all of the manufactur ing establishments. At Kansas City there was nothing to in dicate that it was Labor day, while at Topeka, Kan., the day was generally ob served by the working clas-.es as a holiday. Throughout Colorado, New Mexloo aiid Wyoming but little notice was taken of the day and there ore no strikes of any im portance. At Springfield, 111., all coal miners in the Springfield subdietrict, about 1,500 in num ber, are idle. The operators to-day posted a notice that hereafter they will nay but 50 cents per ton over an inch and a quar ter screen. This is cents loss than the price now paid. ST. LOUIS CARPENTERS WIN. At St. Louis the strike of the carpenters for au advance of 5 cents an hour was suc cessful, 272 bosses out of 350 having granted the demand. The remainder have not been heard from. The allied trades will not work for the employers who reject the car penters’ demands. They gained an eight hour dav two years ago. At Chicago large crowds and great enthu siasm characterized the labor demonstra tion for an eight-hour day. The bricklayer’s union, about 2,000 strong, did not take part in the parade, that trade having already been accorded the eight hour day. The other tradee unions, however, wore generally represented and with bands and banuets and floats on which their respective handicrafts were being oxe uplifted they marched away about 10,000 strong. The route iay through soma of the principal Streets of the busiuess district, and the parade was dismissed at the lake front, where speeches were deliv ered by local labor leaders. GOTHAMS SOCIALISTS. Red Flags on High and tho American Flag Union Down. New York, May I.—Eight thousand men marched to the tune of the “Marseillaise” and ether airs, and carried aloft red flags, and the socialistic bodies carrying tbo American flag, union down, assembled at Union square to night to participate in the eight hour labor demonstration held under the auspices of the central labor fed eration and soclaliillo labor party. The organizations represented included the cigarmakers, bakers, waiters, confection er*. tailors, hewers, food-producing trades and clothing industries. The meeting was under the dlreotion of the socialistic labor party and Central labor federation. A FIERY SPEECH. Lumen Ha nisi, the edifco- of the J'enple, called the meeting to order. He said, ss men they should stand together, not as citi zens of tne United States, but as workers of the whole world against plutocracy. [Cheers. ] The working classes must have . their eight-hour day. August Delahor also denounced the capitalists. Other s;>eakers followed in tho same vein that an ] eight-hour day should bo decreed ! by a statute and that the economic struggle should be reinforced by political action to | secure such legislation, and tha* they were not to lose sight cf tbo ultimate aim of the proletarian movement, tho abolition of wages slavery, and urge all wage workers to rally under the socialist labor parly to | bring about that final chaugo. CHATTNCOJA’S CONTEST. Carpenters, Falntara, Boilermakers and Plumbers ■Co Out. Chattanooga, Tenn., May 1. The union carpenter*, painters and boilermakers of this city went out this morning, aud the plumbers say they will strike to-night. The painters demand nine hours and $2 25 per day. The carpenters demand 30 cents per hour and nine hours par day. Eighty car penters aud forty painters have struck, and tbo strikers allege that their ranks will bo doubled by to morrow. Tuere is no excite ment attending the strike. The Strike at Pitt9burg. Fittsbußg, May I.—The long-threatened eight-hour strike in the building trades has been inaugurated. In all figuring on the probable number of men participating in or affected and likely to be made idie by the strike there has been exaggoraiiou. The leaders of the capantt r- claim 3,000 men within the limits of a twelve-mile dis trict. Of these, it is said, A,IKK) wlil con tinue work on contracts that must be com pleted, leaving at the outsite not more than 2,000 uieu on strike to-day, Building Trades Men Out. New York, May I.—The threatened strike, fixed for May 1, began iu earnest this morning so far as the houseiniths are concerned, and with them all the incidental trades are out. At least 4.5U0 men, repre senting different trades, are oat on strike. Painters’ Strike at Memphis. Memphis, Tenn., May I.—The union painters in Memphis inaugurated a s' riko to-day, otherwise there was no labor dem onstration in this city. It is probable that the difficulty will be amicably adjusted be fore many days. SPE HAL TOBACCO TaXEH. The McKinley Provision Abol'-chlng Them Now in Effect. Washington, May 1. —Under the pro visions of the McKinley tariff act, beginning to-day, all special taxes imposed upon dealers in leaf tobacco, dealers in manu factured tobacco, manufacturers of tobac co and cigars and upon peddle:s of tobacco, are repealed. The law, however, requires that these various classes of dealers shall register their names, places of business, etc., with the local colleotors of internal revenue, with tin* exception of dealers in manufactured tobaoco, who are not required to regia: er. The number of dealers in the latter class, according to the report of the commissioner of internal revenue for 1890. was 603,068, who paid a tax of S3 40 each. It is said at the depart ment that the abolition of this special tax of #2 40 will cause a loss to the govern ment of 11,600,000 annually. The now pro vision of tho law, regarding the caution label required to be used by manufacturers of cigars, also goes into effect to-day. It eliminates from a portion of the label re served for the use of the government all foreign matter, such as designs, ornaments, etc. DIRECT TAX REPAYMENTS.

MAYDAY ItOWSIN FRANCE £ EVEN FERSONS KILLED AND 12 WOUNDED AT FOURMikS. Gendarmes received With a Shower of Scones—They Draw Their Sabers and Charge, But are Powerless— Ihe Day in Paris Not Marked by fce rlous Trcub'e. Paris, May 1. —The city of Paris on this day, anxiously looked forward to In many quarters, presented its usual smiling aspect, with tho exception that there was a stir somewhat more lively than usual In tho quarters which are inhabited by tho so called working classes, in other words, the arti-ans, laborers Hiid minor class of employers. The weather at 9 o’clock this morning was unsettled. All the usual traffic was running smoothly and without any outward signs that this state of affairs would be aisturbed during the course of the day. Troops of cavalry throughout last night steadily patrolled the socialist quarters, the o unking of sabers and the clang of the iron snod hoofs of the troopers’ horses giving the streets of those disiricts that peculiar character which was so famil iar to Parisians during tho period which immediately followed the suppression of the commune. Paris, In fact, seemed to be in au active state of seige, for in addition to the cavalry aud police patrols the inar.y infantry regiments now gan ironed in this oi.y were held under arms, with riles haded, throughout the night, and they were still In reailinoss at a momeut’s notice this morning to occupy the strategic positions previously assigned to them. ACTIVITY OF THE POLICE. The police wore not idle, evnn if the troops were being mainly relied upon to quell a possible disturbance. Acting upon the theory that au ounce cf prevention u worth a pound of cure, the police last night ar rested about 300 anarchists, socialists and other persons coming under the category of "dangerous characters.” These men will be hold as prisoners until all signs of danger hove passed, in order to prevent them from inciting riots or in any other way taking step* which might lead to a disturbance of the peace. It oegati raining at 10 o’clock this after noon. All was quiet until about noon, when there was a scene of great excitement in the vioinity of Rue Berry. The oaueo of the tumult was a loud explosion which broke windows all along the locality montion-d. The streets were desertedjat the time of the exploaiOD, and consequently nob jdy was Injured. No one seems to be able to explain tbo motive for tho explosion, which is said to have been caused by a bomb or by dynamite. A CHARGE OF CAVALRY. Marseilles, May I.—A socialist demon stration took place here this forenoon. It was of a dis rderly character, and the so cialists taking part iu it rofused to disperse when ordered to do so by the local author ities. The roault was that the services of the military were called for, and after the of ficers iu o itnmsnd of a squadron of cavalry had called upon tho agitators to disperse, without Inducing them to do so, tho cavalry men were ordered to charge tho mob. Tboy did so, ruling at the crowd at a low trot, and quickly scattering the sociali*ts, many of whom were arrested. Among the pris oners captured wns Mantis Boyer, a so cialist member of the Chamber of Deputies, who represents the Fifth electoral district of Marseilles. This evening a collision occurred between the police and a crowd of roughs, who wero trying to break a cordon, aud tbo military wore called on for assistance. When they advanced they were received with a shower of stone* aud some were injured. Seven teen pers -ns wore ariostod. BLOODY COLLISIONS. FouttMtES, France, May I.—One-half of the workingmen here attended to their duties to-duy. Tho remainder abstained from work and were very noisy, march ing about tbo streets singing, shout ing, etc. A mob of 4,000 booted at. a body of gendarmes and the gen darmes drew their inbres and attempted to disperse the crowd, but were received with a shower of stones and were compelled to retreat. The troops had some difficulty in restoring order. Later In the day there was a bloody collision between the miner* and police, iu which seven persons were killed and twelve wounded. A mob attacked the Mairb thi* evening in ati attempt to rescue imprisoned com rndes, and wounded two soldiers The troops itmnedia’ely opened fire, and three men fell dead. The mob then tied. FIGHTING AT LYONB. Lyons, Mav I.—Three different times to-day a stubborn mob overwhelmed the police force and cavalry were brought into requisition. The mob fought tho cavalry with stones aud clubs but were finally dis persed. All who wa e arrested were found to tie heavily armed. Three policemen were seriously hurt in the course of the dav’a fighting with the rioters, who were chiefly socialists. RI JTING AT ROMB. On© of the Mob and a Gendarme Stabbed to Death. Rom*, May 1. —King Humbert this morn ing drove through the quarter*inhabited by t e workingmen and women. The king is deiirous of becoming personally informed of the feeling of the working classes, and was greatly satisfied with the result of his drive. A meeting of workingmen took place this afternoon near the church of Son Giovanni. Five mombers of the Chamber of Deputies wore pre ent. An anarchist speaker vio lently urged bis hearers to attack the polic . The mob stoned the troops sta tioned in the neighborhood. Home of the rioters hurled stones at the troops from the windows of houses. Gendarmes fired upon tho rioters, and cavalry charged upon those who hd not boon put to flight by the gondarmes’ fire. At the sarrio time the infantry wero ordered to storm the houses from which stones had been thrown. Hignor Rarseillai, a member of tho Chamber of Deputies, Hignor Gi pram, a socialist leader, and twenty-five others were wounded. One man was killed outright by the gendarmes’ fire, and one gendarme was stabbed to death by the rioters. During the cavalry charge several troopers were unhorsed and injured. VOUItTSEN PERSONS WOUNDED. Altogether 100 persons wore arrested to day. Nine soldiers and five civilians were wounded. Minister N.colera, replying to a question in the Chamber of Depu ties, said there were 300 anarchists among those Present at the workmen's demonstration; that the public forces had been attacked with re volvers and stones, and that shots had been fired from the windows of Signor Cipriani’s residence, aid that, therefore, the de monstration hud been suppressed. AN ANARCHIST PLOT. Abundant evidence it appearing that them was a carefully organized anarchist plot here. The Chamber of Deputies pre sented a stormy scene, the radical memo s trying t>> blame the government fur the disturbances, while Minister Nioolera stoutly defended the mini-try and set forth tho patience and self-e>ntrol of the soldiers under showers of stone*, after t> ing on duty many hours. It in reported that Signor Cipriui's wound is fatal. A FAIRLY QUILT DAY. The Telegrams Rccelvod at London From the Continent. London, May 1. —Innuincr*ble telegrams from all parts of the continent received up to midnight, show that while there was a ge oral ferment, the workingmen no where showed a disposition of them selves to cause trouble or loss of the sympathy of the public by illegal manifestations. Neither have the predic tions of a universal strike been fulfilled. On the contrary, though, numbers of work men took a holiday, eveu on pain of dis missal, in order to join the processions— mainly confined to the miners, the natural leaders in tho eight-hour movement. Mon day will see most of them resuming their vocations, but few lockouts occurring. ANARCHISTS ANXIOUS FOR A ROW. The anarchists eagerly seised the chance to air their doctrine* with the added test of a possible sculllo with the authorities, and the outbreaks recorded were invariably due to their otforts, and doubtless would have been more effectual but for the admirable police and military preparations. The fact that the first meeting of the labor commis sion was held ou Mayday is merely a coinci dence. The Knglish workers are waiting for Sun day. The London carpenters and joluers commenced a strike to-night. (lei many has been almost: equally quiet. Tho meeting was sparsely attended. Those men who remained at work were given a day's pay from the general strlko fund. In Austria and Hungary tl o day wus taken up with merely holiday diversions. At ilekos the military wrero railed upon to quell a socialist riot, and several persons were wounded. Tho total number of ar rests is 120. A MALI. CROWD OUT AT VIENNA. The demonstration on tho l'rnter in Vienna was smaller than that of 18M0. In Holland there was no cessation of work. In Brussels at 8 o’clook to-night 10,000 men inarched from the bourse through the town to the strains of the maisellaiso with banners, transparence* and devices asking for free suffrage. The pavemunts were thronged with orderly onlookers. I'aris to-day was eveu freoer for traffic than on lost Mayday. The para lore ap peared to take a delight in goading the po lice Into charging them. Tho Place La Concorde was cleared at 7 o’clock to-night, and no further incident was reported. SPAIN'S EXO.TEMENT. A General Feeling of Insecurity but n j Rioting Yet. Madrid, May I. —While thero has been no actual disorder throughout Spain in many towns the j.sople are excited and a general feeling of Insecurity prevails.

Healy Replies Very Tartly to Advice Given by Pern ell. London, May 1. —The debate on the gov ernment's Irish land purchase bill was con tinued In the House of Commons to-day. Mr. Parnell, addressing h s romarks to the Irish members, advised them in view of the conciliatory attitude of the government to confine their debate to the important points of the measure in order that the bill might pass tho House more quickly. HEALY REPUDIATES HIM. Timothy Healy retorted that Mr. Parnell had been repudiated a* the representative of Ireland, and be declared that he would not bo guided by any directions given by Mr. Parnell. Mr. Fitzgerald, replying to Mr. Healy, said that Irishmen still recognized Mr. Par nell a* their representative, and that they would uever be guidod by Messrs. Buxton or Healy. Mr. Parnell said that ha wos quite indif ferent to what Mr. ficaly might say. He, however, must statu what be thought was best for Ireland, with no regard as to whether bis statements exasperated Mr. Healy or not. TCEIIY COURTING WAR.

Athens, May I,—A religious riot is re ported In progress at /ante. To-day is observed by Greek Christians as the Greek Good Friday, and part of tho ceremonies of the day consisted of a procession through the principal streets.

I -J SCI VTH A COPY. V ( WEEKLY, 1.25 A YEAR, f FREE EDUCATION'S PULI. A TORY-CLERICAL COMBINE TO DOWN THE LIBERALS. A Promise by tho Government Thai the Veattd Flghte of tne Church thall Be Preserved Intact—similar Aetmrai.ee* Privat ly Given to the Cattollcs—A Row With Balmnceda. (Copyrighted. 1851, by Die A ew York Ast /dated Crest. > London, May I.—The leading proposals of the government’s free education measure are leaking out. They confirm the liberal expectance that it will be a tory clerical measure,against which the party will fight to the death. The ministers privately assure their supporters that the bill will tend to strengthen tbe position of the denomina tional schools. The anxiety of tbe English church circles has been set at rest by com munications through the Bishop of London and other clerical leaders, that an under standing has been arranged with the gov* eminent which preserves intact the vested interests of the church. Himilar assurances have also been given privately to the Cath olic bishops. A KTROXII COMBINATION. This understanding is producing a strong clerico political combination against which the iiiieral*, who are working for popular control of the public money given to tba schools, will find it hard to contend. It is now known that the government will not assent to popular control in any genuine form. The bill be strictly denomina tional, neither rate-payers nor par ents baring effective representa tion on tbe school boards. Tba education department is to have autocratic power in the administration of grants, un controlled except bjSklread of popular aid pari.au entary criticisms. It is probable that the government dot's not expect to carry tho education bill, but desires rather to dissolve on some leading proposal which will strengthen them in appealing to the country.
