6 LARGEST VOTE EVER CAST. That ny tit Boast 01 Lords Against the Home Rale Bill. Calm After the Storm Question es to the Course Gladstone Will Take in View of His Overwhelming Defeat. Opinion That the Queen Expects Him to Appeal to the Country, and This is Apparently Approved by Public Sentiment—The Prima Minister Dis patches a Messenger to the Queen at Balmorai—His Mission Not Made Public. Loudon, Sept. 9.—Sir Henry Ponsonby, the queen's private secretary, passed last night at Black Craig castle, where Gladstone is taking a holiday with Mrs. Gladstone and friends. This morning he and the prime minister iiad a long inter view, and before noon Sir Henry left with a special dispatch from Gladstone to the queen concerning the govern ment's attitude towards the defeat of the home rule bill in the House of Lords last evening. Sir Henry was conveyed in all haste from Black Craig castle to the railroad station at Couparangus, where an express train was stopped to take him on board and carry him to Balmoral. WILL HE APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY? It is significant that Sir Henry's mis ion was not undertaken at the queen s Instance, but at the suggestion of Glad stone two days ago. The queen is known to have awaited with unwonted anxiety Gladstone's decision as to the course after the rejection of the bill by the lords. The royal idea is that Gladstone should ap peal at once to the country, and the de termination, which is understood to have been expressed by Gladstone in his spe cial dispatch, to hold on indefinitely, will aot suit her majesty at all. WHAT THE QUEEN 1 EXPECTED. According to constitutional precedents, the queen certainly had some reason to expect that after the overwhelming ma jority of lords, spiritual and temporal, had condemned him th ' aged premier would resign or ask the electors again to justify his policy. Ii is surmised that Gladstone Intimated in the dispatch carried to Bal moral to-day the readiness of the cabinet to submit to the queen's prerogative to dismiss her present minister. This inti mation would mean little, however, as he knows he can rely on thequeen’s discre tion to take no steps involving the crown in the popular outcome against the House of Lords LARGEST VOTE THE LORDS EVER CAST. A large and influential part of the ultra Tory party expect such direct interven tion from the queen, but their expecta tion will hardly be realized. On the other hand, the queen s opinion ns to tho proper course for Gladstone will weigh with him undoubtedly In hastening his appeal to the country. Before last night's sitting of the lords the highest vote re corded in the upper house was 875. This was given on the question of repealing the corn laws in 1940, and included the proxies of absent members The attend ance and vote last evening, therefore, were quite beyond precedent. HAD NEVER BEEN PRESENT BEFORE. No such gathering of hereditary legisla tors had been seen previously in London. Many of the peers who came to the towu to vote against the bill had never seen the interior of the House before, and fifty of them were obliged to sign the roll for the first time before voting To render the duty of atten dance less tiresome, some fifty or sixty peers loafed in the refreshment and smoking rooms during the debate. Sev eral, finding the cuisine in the restaurant of the house unsuitable to their tastes, had their own rooks, and wines and meals were brought in for the occasion. One peer, for instance, gave a dinner prepared by his own chef, served od his own plate by his own servants, in neither its pub lic nor private aspects did the House re veal any thara. tcristics likely to stregth en its chances of a long existence. PLANS OP THE RADICALS. The radicals will raise again the ques tion of the Duke of Connaught's appoint ment to the Aldershot command. The debate will follow a motion, to be, made probably by Labouchere.for the reduction of the army estimates by cutting down the salary drawn by the Duke of Cam bridge as commander-in-chief. Several conservatives and some liberal unionists will support the motion with the purpose •f defeating the government. If they really have a majority, the consequences for the government will tie serious. Camp bell Bannerman, secretary of stato for war, would resign, and a general reor ganization of the cabinet would be nec essary, as such a vote might also result in the Duke of Cambridge's retirement. The radicals speak privately of with drawing the motion in case they obtain a public assurance that the government does not design the Duke of Con naught's Aldershot appointment as a prelude to his succession to the com mandership in chief. This offer from the radicals, however, would not help the ministry much. The proposed motion and the suggested bargain are therefore the two horns of a serious government dilemma. HOW OVER THE PARISH FUND. The dispute among the anti-Parnellites over the disposition of the parish fund seems to be nearing a settlement. Mi chael Davitt and John Dillon, who were appointed to confer with Jos. Kenny, representing the Pamellites. as to the release of the fund, recognized the claim of the Pamellites to £IO.OOO as due them when the fund was lodged. The Healy faction disapproved of conceding such a large sum. Justin McCarthy, leader of the anti-Parnellites. finding it impossible to reconcile the disputants, has decided to take the management of negotiations into his own hands, as one of tho original trustees of the fund. The party has indorsed his action by passing a special vote of confidence in him. John Barry, anti-Parnellite member of parlia ment for South Wedford county, threatens to withdraw from parliament on account of the dispute over tho fund. He is op lxised to granting the Pamellites the sum conceded by Davitt and Dillon, and wishes to have the bulk of the niouev allotted among the evicted tenants. CHOLERA PANIC SUBSIDED. The cholera scare, started on Thursday ra the House of Commons, has abated, u he charwoman, who then was supposed to have died of Asiatic cholera, is believed now to hate had merely severe Knglish cholera. Careful examination with the microscope fail to reveal the presence of Koch s bacilli, and the physicians who conducted the investigation of the case agree that the alarm was a false one. It is re|>ortod also that the cases of the so called cholera in Islington, Alur.vicbone and elsewhere during the weed were only chol. raine. One poo 1 result of the scare in the House of Commons will be the reconsiruetion of the drainage in the neighborhood of the parliament build ings. \\ estmiuster palace was built' orcr a marsh and tho sew ers are lower than the Thames.

BLOW TO BIMETALLISM. In a letter to Robt. Kvartt, V I’. Sir Wm Hareourt extinguishes the last hope i of the to metallists as to the re-assembling of the Brussels monetary conference. “Altho ,gh the government is willing to cur. ider the proposals of other states," lie wn le. “they will not encourage ex -1 peetatiuus which they are un likely to fulfill.'’ Sir Wil liam adheres also to his former declaration, that any lnteference with the single standard as now established iu Ktq ..mu is open to the gravest objections. Dr Ollomar Hnupt, the most celebrated German authority on the relations and production of the precious metals, writes from Haris that M. Simeonelli. who lias been Italy's delegate to all international 1,, i.ey conferences in tho last twenty years, has declined to attend the approaching congress of the Latin Union, as he can no longer approve Italy's policy in cur rency matters. Dr. Haupt adds that the congress will be very stormy, for France is sure to denouneo the I-at fin convention. Italy has contracted with Heaton's mint in Birmingham for sixty million ten centime pieces. The contract must he filled within the next eight months, work on the coins being pushed night and day. ‘'THE LITTLE GEORGIA MAGNET.” She is Back From Foreign Shores With a Pocket Full of Gold. Milledgeville, Gu.. Kept. 9.—Mrs. Annie Abbott, better known in Georgia as Mrs. Dixie Haygood, the “Little Georgia Mag net,” has returned to the city from the old world, where she has been for the last two years. She was bom and reared in this c ity and presided over the home of a humble policeman until five years ago. For a pood many years she professed to have communication with those who have pone to the great beyond, and often in the past curious people about the city would gather at her home and listen to the rap ping of the spirits atul send messages to some acquaintance on the other shore. Later on her power developed until it was found that she possessed a power over human strength that was wonderful. She gave exhibitions in this and adjoin ing cities and crowds of people flocked to see her. Her career was suddenly sus pended, however, b,y a pistol Gullet that carried out tho life of her husband, who was shot down on the streets here during the great prohibition contest of 1886. In 1888 sho was married again and in a short while her husband carried her on the stage, and since tli n she has traveled all over America, spending several months in Mexico and about the same time in Canada. Having conquered America, they started for the Old World, and from then until now she has been *tlie idol of kings and queens, princes, emperors, dukes and all the royal families of Europe. Klie gave exhibitions in Egypt, Damascus and Jerusalem and from there she went to Alexandria city, and thence to Greece. There she was invited before tho king's family and in token of their appre ciation of her wonderful strength, sho was given a manific.-nt |>earl necklace. The Morning News had a couple of hours interview with her this morning and was shown a scrap-book containing two thousand notices from papers all over Europe, representing a score of different languages. She also has letters from nearly every royal person in the old world, eulogizing her extraordinary en dowments. A Russian duke gave her his photograph framed in solid gold at a cost of SBOO. His name was written upon the photograph from his own blood, an act of the very higest respect from Russian noble men. She wears two large diamond car rings which were given her. by Queen Vic toria, and has a photograph of the Prince of Wales, framed in a solid gold frame, which was a present from that distin guished gentleman. Khe has five neck laces of pearls and diamonds which were giveu by different members of royal houses, and belts, bracelets and rings were bestowed upon her with lavish hands. Her jewels are worth probably ?00,000, and they are all, nearly, the gifts of admiring foreigners. Khe returned to America to see her peo ple in this city, and will probably give a few entertainm cuts before returning to Europe, although she insists that she does not want to disturb her rest by any continued work. She and her husband and two children will spend the winter hero and will meet a Polish count in New York in April and will return to Russia with him. She claims that her wonderful recep tion in Europe has been due to luck. On the ship on which they sailed there was an earl and several very prominent En glishmen and she entertained the party with one of her performances. They gave her a letter of indorsement which was shown your correspondent, and she after wards received a memento from them in the shape of a substantial present . In five years she has been lifted from obscurity to a position of w'orld-widc fame and has made a fortune that will easily last her the remainder of her days. When her superhuman strength is con sidered there will be but little wonder that she has made such upward strides. When asked what was the prettiest city she ever visited, she replied: “Ber lin ;” when asked what was the best, sho promptly replied: “MiUedgeville.” CUP DEFENDERS. Second Trial Sail and Victory for the Vigilant by Over Four Minutes. New York, Sept. 9.—The Morgan-lslin sloop did all that her many admirers ex pected of her, and though it looked at one time as though tho Jubilee was to be win ner, the Vigilant came in with over four minutes to spare. All four of the boats built to contest for the honor of standing as the American representative iu tho international race started, and thev made a merry racs of it, and the spectators en joyed it more than they did the first trial race. The air was clear as crystal, so that every move of the racers could be observed, and the ocean was less turbu lent. In consequence, the flotilla of pleasure craft accompanying the racers was larger, and this added not a little to the picturesqueness of the affair. The wind was not strong enough to make keeping up with tne racers difficult, and the spectators were iu it from start to finish. TRIANGULAR course. At each turn and at the end of the race there was a serenade of whistles from steamboats, guns from the steam yachts aud cheers from sailing craft. The contest was to he a triangular one, tile first leg of which to he esat south erst, ail windward work. The second was over a southwost by west course, a broad reach on the port tack. The third. north one half west, a run home with the wind a little abaft the starboard beam. The starting gun boomed at 11 :30. On tho first leg the Vigilant beat the Pilgrim 2 mins 2 serf: the Jubilee 2 mins f> sees, and tlie Colonia 3 mins 28 secs. In the reach from first, to second turn tlie Vigilant beat the Jubilee 28s. tho Coionia 4 mins 48 secs, and the Pilgrim 5 minutes 24 seconds. From the second mark to the finish it was run before the wind with spinnakers and balloon jib topsail, and all of the yachts showed a marked im provement in liaudiing tlie light canvas, the Vigilant and Jubilee taking only 20 aud 40 seconds, respectively, to set them. In the run home the Vigilant increased her lead, finishing 5 minutes 8 seconds ahead of the Jubilee. Cor rected time gives the Vigilant the race by 4:32.

Washington, Sept. 9.—The September cotton report of the department of agri culture shows a decline from the August condition of the crop of fully 7 points, being 73.4 this month, as against 30.4 last month. This is the lowest September condition since 1381, which stood at 70. The condition in September, 1892, was 76.8. For the same month itl the years 1891 and 1890 it was 82.7 and 85.5, respec tively. State averages arc: Virginia 93, North Carolina 76, South Carolina 63, Georgia 77, Florida 85, Alabama 78, Mis sissippi 78, Louisiana 81, Texas 63, Ar kansas 80, and Tennessee 68. DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS. In addition to the unfavorable condi tions. among which drought has been prominent, correspondents of the depart ment ascribe the falling off in the condi tion of the crop to the ravages of insect enemies of tho plant, such as caterpillars and boll, army and leaf worms. Dust as a cause of damage is also extensively noted. The hurricane of Aug. 28 caused much damage to the crop in the states of North Carolina. South Carolina. Georgia, and, in less degree, the state of Florida. GENERAL REPORTS. Reports from the state of Alabama show an excess of moisture in some parts of the state. In some places the plant is taking on a second growth, which is not considered beneficial, and in others there is sprouting and rotting in bolls. Seven counties of the state report too rapidly opening; eigh teen that the plant is shed ding badly, and forty-eight reisirt rust. Correspondents' reports from Mississippi are to the effect that the crop is doing finely and the weather favorable tor pres ent condition. In Louisiana excessive rains early in August caused tho old cot ton to shed badly while young cotton was not benefited, as the growth was in weed instead of fruit. With the exception of the counties of Sebastuin and Scott, the reports from Arkansas show the crop to lie below the average. Jn Texas the plant is small everywhere, both early and late planting.

A few days ago a New York woman discov ered a reddish mold-like substunce over the surface of a loaf of bread, which she bought, und on cutting the loaf found reddish streaks running through It. She concluded that she would not cut it . and took it to the health de partment. A chemist was sent to analyze it, ana reported that the mold was due to a fun gus growth In the ttour. The fungus, he said, had certain poisonous properties, nut he did not think that eating the bread would endan ger life steps were at once taken to stop the sale of bread made from the ueienoruted Hour, and to prevent a further use of the flour.

Tiie Presiding Priest Tells Kim Why Actors Are Despised. Mistake of a Chinese God— He Mor\i* flea Hia Minister by Erring as to the Visitor's Profession—Chinatown too Clean and Virtuous Now to Meet Foreign Expectations—lrving Thinks Protty Well of Chinese Acting. From the San Francisco Examiner. With an opium pipe in his right hand, a blue vase decora tt 1 with gilded dragons under his arm and his pockets packed with anklets, heathen idols, dried lizards, lions' teeth and other Mongolian treas- I ry Irving at nid night on Thurs day entered the joss house on Clay street. He was preceded by Detective Glennon, full of enlightening information, and fol lowed by stage manager Loveday, carry ing a one-string fiddle, a blue silk mantle and a tomtom. Mr. Irving listened patiently while the golden carvings, the great bronze urns, the monstrous brass vessels and the mode of worship were explained to him. His eye was not insensible either to the num erous printed placards hanging about, stating in Efiglish that tourists were ex pected to purchase a bundle of joss-sticks, to the end that the temple might be sup ported and tho visitors receive an inter est in the prayers of “those who were running this Joss house.” He invested generously, for Mr. Irving spends money like an American. Sore, regretful spirits were made throughout Chinatown, in deed, by his habit of paying what was asked without doing what was expected of him in the way of beating down prices. The wholesale transaction in joss-sticks brought a priest of the temple to Detec tive Glennon's assistance an exitounder of the obscure—a small, yellow priest with little twinkling eyes and a set smile. His reverence pointed to a row of long handled halberds in a rack, each topped with a massive ornamental head of brass, and gave the information that long, long ago saintly i men of China had carried them, and each halberd identified its former owner by the design of the head. “Just like the rod of Aaron,” he said, and equally efficacious for snakes. The great brown god in the shrine at the farther end of the dimly-lighted temple— a god with a large black beard and bene volent countenance, who sat tailorwise with one slim hand on his mighty paunch —had freed the Chinese from evil times when in the flesh 2,000 years ago or more. It is not tliis image that is worshiped, the priest explained. The linage if but the symbol of the deity. -Just like pictures of Jesus.” Not far from the god is the veiled figure of a youth with blood-stained cheeks. Visitors are informed by a card, on which the nut-oil lamp at the figure s feet throws its flickering light, not to touch this sacred veil. The youth life was a modern son. He toiled day and night, but ultimately both his father and mother died of starvation, and his grief was so intense ho wept so continually, that his tears turned to blood. “Ah, yes, I see,” said Mr. Irving. Filial piety was the theme of tho drama we saw at your theater. Your actors are very good. Yon hold your actors in high houbr, no doubt.” "Actors?” repeated the priest, puzzled. “Yes, actors. They aro greatu men among you?” The priest dropped his smile for a mo ment, eyed Mr. Irving shrewdly, and shaking his head rapidly, said firmly. “Actors no good I” “Indeed? And Nvhy not?” “Well, I dunno,” answered the priest, searching for English words. “They— they off color; yes, that is,off! color. Low, you know.” ‘■But,” protested Irving, with a touch of genuine resentment in his tone, “how is it that your actors look so much more intellectual and refined than the audi ence? I was struck by that.” ‘•Well, I dunno. Actors no good.” “And your poets, the men who write books, they arc low too, I suppose!” The priest's face lighted up. “Oh, no: the poet, the man who writes book, he very good, very great man with us—not low at all.” “Then why should the actors, who say the words of the poets and let the people sec what the poets mean, be low?” “Well, they dress all the same women and paint their faces, you know.” “But so do your women.” “Oil, yes, women; that all right. They just women.” “But,, persisted Mr. Irving, “why should you not honor tho actors who teach such good lessons on the stage—the same lessons you teach here, no doubt?” “Oh,” cried the priest, his smile broad ening, “if actor ilo off stage what he say on stage, that all right. But he don’t.” ‘•He’s got us there,” sighed Mr. Love day. Detective Glennon supplemented tho priest. Chinese actors become great fa vorites as actors, but their popularity is limited by the walls of tho theater. They are graceless, self-indulgent bohemians. The salaries of the best of them run to #5,000 a year and upward. They pur chase diamond rings, sumptuous raiment and the costliest of opium layouts. Often their most ardent admirers in the theater insult and strike them outside of it. Tho merchants and other swells will have nothing to do with them socially. “Yes, very bad men,’’ concurred the priest. “They send no money to China for their mothers.” “Peopleare alike everywhere, eh, Dove day?” remarked Irving. “You know how we say of a chap that ‘he's a damned bad actor—hut he’s good to his mother.’ ” Mr. Irving was surprised at tho excel lence of the work done by some of the Chinese actors. One who took the part of a judge he pronounced a good cbmedian of thequietsort, and thefemalo impersonator impressed him. "It’s capital,” he said. “There’s art in it all, however absurd ac cording to our conventions it may seem in many respects.” The priest insisted on having Mr. Ir ving’s fortuno told. Ho perceived that this visitor was a distinguished man of some sort. The subordinate priest appeared, knelt on a small red mat, bowed his head to the ground thrice before the altar and mumbltd a long prayer ina low and rapid tone. Then he lifted up his hands ami let fall from them two blocks of wood, fiat on one side and rounded on the other. If the Hat sides come up thrice in succes sion it is proof that the god is present and in a partieularh amiable frame of mind; if the rounded sides are uppermost that in dicates divine ill-temper; if the result of the throws is half-and-half, then the god is in an averaga mood. Mr. Irving got half-and-half. The priest struck the floor with IBs forehead again, arose, genuflected and took from the altar a vase containing many little strips of wood eight or ten inches long. This vase he shook, kneeling, till one flew out. More bows to the god, and the num ber on the stick having been noted the priest lighted a large piece of paper and carried it to a furnace, where he bowed and bowed till it was ashes. The num ber in tlie Book of Fate corresponding to the number on the strips of wood was found and the head priest proclaimed Henry Irving’s future. "You will live long time. Not very good luck now, but by-and-by you havo many converts -bring many souls to Jesus. Have big church, in New York perhaps, and very big salary.” "Thanks,” drawled Mr. Irving, with an unmoved visage. "Take this,” handing over a greenback; “give it to the temple —Of ao, keep it for yourself.” The actor vra* at the bead of the stair* when the priest came running after him, his smile absent and abject apology in bis mien. Detective Glennon had dropped behind and explained things. "Oli. 1 beg your pardon, sir,” cried his reverence. “I dam stupid. I think you preacher, and preacher no like actor. You you understand?” "Perfectly,” answered Mr. Irving, pat ting the shoulder of the remorseful eccle siastic, who still held the greenback in his hand. "That god of yours was a great man. you say. and that is why you wor ship him. Now I'll tell you something. The greatest white man that ever lived— the man whose memory is most highly honored in all the world, he being nearer like a god than any other, so divine was his intellect—was an actor.” "What you call him i" asked the amazed priest. "Shakespeare.” Chinatown disappointed Mr. Irving. He had hoard of its swarming multitude of inhabitants, its fearful squalor. He has. of course, seen the foulest slums of London, New York and other great cities. So he looked unmoved on the coolies stretched out on their mats in the under ground opium dens, where the wretches lodged at the cost to each of $1 a month ; lie penetrated the most noisome alleys of the quarter, climbed up rickety stairs and down again—took it all in, and said: "They suggest depraved monkeys some how, but they're not so bad. not near so bad as I expected. We haven’t seen a drunken man among them all. If wo had gone into an English slum we'd have heard language and seen women there and been insulted, but these chaps are as quiet as miee. They’re dirty and herd in dirty quarters, but they're no worse in those respects than the submerged in other cities I’ve seen. There can’t be any chance for improving these creatures, can there? They’ve reduced life to its sim plest terras, and the desire for anything more, I fancy, has been bred and beaten out of them. They’re not nice people to have in your country, I should say.” Detective Glennon apologized for China town. Its population is only half what it used to be, and the police have compelled greater cleanliness and driven the women out of sight. "Destroyed the romance of the quarter; just so,” said Mr. Irving. THE SEARCH LIGHT BEETLE. New Yorkers Astonished at the Sight of the Brilliant Cucujo. From the New York Times. A young Mexican, carrying a perforated tin box which resembled an old-fashioned lantern, strolled along West 59th street ono evening recently and stopped in front of tho Hotel Pomeroy. From the tin lantern came a beautiful, yellowish-green light, such as no eandlo could possibly give. A number of gentlemen were sitting on the hotel porch and the boy with the lan tern stepped up to them and said : “Mexican bugs, sirs? Fifteen cents apiece, two for a quarter.” He then drew back his coat and dis closed several lerge beetles secured to his vest by light threads tied about their bodies. Each beetle carried two powerful ssarch-lights on the corsal surface of its thorax, placed so as to throw the light di rectly in front of its eyes. When tho beetles were left undisturbed for a little while, the light dwindled away to a mere point, but it glowed again when they were touched with the linger. The tin box contained fully fifty more specimens. It was their combined light which illuminated the novel lantern. The young Mexican took several of the beetles from the box nnd made them pa rade up and down the walk to display their lights to better advantage. At the same time their cousins the fireflies were glowing among the trees over in Central park. The boy called tho beetles cucujo. The sales were rapid, and soon every one was asking how long they would live and what to feed them on. “Give them ripe fruit,” the boy said, “and they will live till cold weather comes.” He explained further that his uncle had brought 600 up from the south to sell iu New York and Chicago. The beetle is the pyrophorous noctilu eus of Central America and the West Indies. It belongs to the family of the elatorldae. It is called cucujo, fire beetle and spring beetle. The last name refers to its power to throw itself by a quick movement of its spine to its feet when it is placed on its back. The light comes from two oval tuber cules on the dorsal surface of the thorax and from the under surface of the seg ments of the body. In the southern countries the natives sometimes use them as ornaments for the hair. They are also confined in glass ves sels and are actually used to light rooms. A single beetle, if hold close to the page, will enable one to read flue print. Scarlet Clover. Seaplet clover is a plant that thrives well on poor soils or warm, moist soils of the middle and southern states, and in Bulletin 16 of the Delaware station its growth is recommended for silage, hay and for green manure. It is a leguminous plant, and compares favorably with other plants of this order for the object men tioned. On t>oor soil its cultivation is a great boon to tho farmer, for it will grow upon and enrich soil that cannot be used for much else. In orchards especially it is useful, and from July to September it is sown between the trees or bushes. It grows and thrives through the fall and winter, dyinjj down the following June. It thus furnishes a winter and spring pasture for dairymen, and if turned under it makes the orchards rich in plant food. It is, however, more susceptible to changes in the weather than other grasses. It will not stand drought as well as al falfa. not nor can it stand very cold weather. Its crop is also smaller than cither of the other two. but its advantages arc sufficient for its cultivation on poor soils. MEDICAL. [Bald Heads!} £ What is condition of yours?
