The Opposition Hed the Opening *t the Sve *lon Yesterday. London, April 10.—There was a thin attendance in the house of commons to day when Gladstone resumed bis mo tion for a second reading of the home rule bill. The first speaker was Her bert W. Paul, liberal member of parlia ment for South Edinburgh. Paul’s re marks did not fill the benches, and it was not until Joseph Chamberlain arose that the members hurried in. and the house assumed an aspect of interest and attention. Chamberlain said that the bill proposed to establish a brand new constitution for Ireland. The prime min ister asked them, continued Chamber lain. when the controversy would be settled if the measure should bo rejected. The whole question really was. Would the bill settle the controversy? Wag not Gladstone in too groat a burry, and was he not too impatient to deal with the Irish difficulty? A now era had opened for Ireland with the disestablishment of the Irish church. Then the agrarian’ question had been partly settled. Time ought to be given to allow for the bene ficial operation of these other measures. But the prime minister said that Ireland was still discontented, and that no pro gress toward conciliation had been made. If such was the case then the predictions such was the case, then the predictions so of the prime minister regarding the meas ures he had already promoted for Ire land had proven fallacious, and threw discredit on similar predictions in re gard to the present measure, giving Ire land a separate legislature. Probably, added Mr. Chamberlain, the people of England would accept the bill if they believed that it would enable them to get rid of the Irish question. (Hear, hear!) But he feared il would do noth ing of the kind. Gladstone had disre garded the rights of the minority, and treated the most influential ami pros perous section of the Irish people with contempt He proposed to subject that section of the Irish people to such legis lative conditions as would wreck their interests and expose the whole country to financial ruin. Not Ireland alone, hut England equally had reason to drend the results of the measure. The whole of the property classes, continued Mr. Cha.mberl.iin. whatever their religion, were opposed to the bill. Justin McCarthy, the leader of the anti-Parnellites. ridiculed Chamberlain’s prophecies of disaster. The Irish peo ple. he said, hailed the bill as a rdedge that their aspirations would be satisfied. They would accept it as a message of lasting peace. The predictions that they would use it to foment discord and dis loyalty, could be made honestly only by those mistaking the present mood of the Irish nation. He could not sav that 1 the Irish party were quite satisfied with the financial clauses of the Home Rule bill; nevertheless they accepted tile bill generally as an honest settlement of the question. (Cheers). As far as the Irish party could see it might wove a final settlement. If the bill were carried, the prime minister would win the un dying gratitude of millions of men. (Pro longed cheers). William Redmond, lead er of the Parnellites, said that the bill had been discussed sufficiently by the House. Nothing was to be gained by prolonging the debate and division was now ne°dcd to give effect to the wishes expressed by the nation at the last gen eral election. Redmond ridiculed the Idea that Ulster had anything to fear from Catholic Ireland. If disturbances in Ireland should follow the passage of the bill, they would be due to the con duct of opposition leaders, who had not hesitated to excite the worst passions of both Catholics and Protestants. (Hear, hear). THE GOVEKOR’S CONVENTION. It Is Expected to Convene tn Rlehnaoud To morrow.

Vienna, April 10.—Sixteen eases of chol era are reported from different parts of Galicia* YESTERDAY IN THE SENATE. The Recent Labor Decisions Were Brought Up. Judge Speer’s Opinion Strongly Criticised. A Oommitteo Appointed to Wait on the President. Senator Hoar presented the petition ol Jseph W. Ady for an investigation of the election of the United States sena tor freiu Kansas. Referred to the com mit te on privileges and elections. The resolution for the committee to wait on President Cleveland and inform him that the senate is ready to adjourn sine die was offered and agreed to with out question, but subsequently a motion to reconsider waa made by Senator Hoar and entered. tx> be called up hereafter. Senator Hoar's reason for moving lo re consider was understood to be his deter mination, if possible, to force the senate to take action in the way of investigat ing Senator Roach of North Dakota. The resolutions to investigate Sentutor Roach's case and that of Senator Power of Montana were offered by Senators Hoar and Chandler and went over with out action. In persuance of the same purpose Senator Hoar successfully re sisted a motion to proceed to executive business. S-mator Butler reported from the com mittee on interstate commerce a resolu tion authorizing that committee to in quire whether or not the methods pre vailing in the transportation of freight and passengers on great railway lines of the country, and the conditions and ne cessities of shippers and transportation companies justify or require the modifi cation of section five of the interstate commerce act. which prohibits pooling under any circumstances. Also to in quire whether the system of closing and sealing cars engaged in the transporta tion of merchandise from one state to another through foreign territory and from such territory in the United States needs to be modified: whether all rail roads engaged ill such traffic should be either required to conform to all condi tions of the interstate commerce act or prohibited from continuing such trans portation; also whether any modifica tions should Im- made in the law concern ing the relations between common ear ners and their employees. The resolution was referred bo the committee on con tingent expenses. Later it became si basis of discussion into which entered the recant decisions of Judges Taft and Ricks in Ohio, and Speer in Georgia, in relation to the rights and duties of rail road employees. Senator Gorman took the load in the discussion. He said the investigation proposed by the interstate commerce com mittee was a most pressing and import ant one. It effected millions of people and hundreds of millions of invested capi ital. One question wais whether it was possible to make provision by law to iSiable railroad companies to protect themselves in the matter of freights and freight charges without doing an in justice to the communities and individ uals. While on the threshold of that investigation another matter to be in quired into was the recent decisions of the United States judges, and whether in view of the interstate commerce law and the anti-trust law the judges had a right not only to determine what a rail road employe should do but what he should not do. Those decisions were the first great steps on the part of the judi ciary to make serfs of the men who were employed by railroad corporations. If the law warranted these decisions! and possibly it did) then the law ought to be modified or repealed. He did not be lieve the American people would ever submit to any branch of government, whether judiciary or legislative, putting such impositions upon them as were put in the recent judicial decisions. Senator Hoar then asked Senator Gor man to be somewhat more specific. Senator Gorman explained that what he meant to say was that the recent judicial decisions that railroad employ ees might be restrained by an order of court, might, lie fined and imprisoned if they resigned their positions, was a most extraordinary decision, and one that had to be met at the very threshold of the next Congress. It ought to be inquired into carefully by men who had but one motive and that was to see, while pro tecting the interest of commerce, that no injustice was done to individuals and that the courts of the United States should not be armed with power as arbi trary as that of the Czar of Russia. Senator Flatt said that he had not yet seen in the decision referred to anything that looked like a usurpation iff power by the courts or looked like degrading the workmen of the country to the con dition of serfs. He believed that the employees of railroads had no more right to engage in discrimination of commerce than their employers had, aud he did not believe there was anything either in the interstate commerce act or the anti-trust act that was not an affirmation of well considered and well established common law. Senator Hoar remarked that the anti trust law simply extended to the com merce of the United States principles of common law. so that he was quite cer tain that no such doctrine tut that ap prehended bv Senator Gorman would lie warranted by that law. It was a mere extension of the common, law in regard txi combi nations in rostmint of tru.de in United States commerce. The interstate commerce law was a different one. That was a new piece of machinery', and he had no doubt it con tained a good deal that would at some day return to plague the inventor. Senator Vest thought it unfortunate that this matter should have come up for discussion because it was necessarily in the matter of “ex parte” criticism. Every lawyer knew how unsafe it was to take newspaper statements of judicial decis ions. He had. for instance, been startled this morning to see in the Washington Post that a great revolution had taken place The article was headled “A Great Triumph for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,” and the impres sion was conveyed in the article that Judge Speer of Georgia had decided that the regulations of the Association of Lo comotive Engineers were to be recog nized hereafter by the federal judiciary. On reading Judge Speers decision he had found that the text did not at all bear out the heading and that Judge Speer had only affirmed what every law yer knew to be common law. He had decided that any contract or restraint of commerce of the United States was absolutely void; that any engineer laid a right to give up his employment; but that when the Association of Locomo tive engineers oi- any other association or corporation undertook to make a rule, and to enforce it in restraint of commerce, that rule was absolutely void. There was nothing startling or revolu tionary in that. If any judge had de clared such doctrine as the senator from Maryland spoke of, it would be reversed by the supreme court of the United States without one dissenting opinion against its reversal. Such doctrine would be monstrous. Senator utler understood that one of the points to decide a.t Toledo was that the court had a right to enjoin employ ees of railroad companies from combin ing iu such away as to obstruct the operations of the road. That decision seemed to have gone very much farther than the court had gone heretofore. He understood that was the object of in quiry proposed in the resolution offered some days ago by the senator from In diana (Vorhoes). Senator Brice inquired more particu larly as to what Senator Vest understood to bo Judge Speer's decision and wiaa told that Senator Vest simply understood it to tie an extension of the ordinary jurisdiction of the court over the actions of a receiver appointed by it. The senate committee on finance will hold its regular weekly meeting tomor row and will take up the nominations that are now before it and make its re port to the senate. The only nomination of importance still to be acted upon is that of Mr. Eckels of Illinois nominated to be comptroller of the currency. It seems likely that this case will lie finally disposed of tomorrow and thait a favor able recommendation will be made. Such a recommendation will be equivalent to confirmation, although some adverse criticism will be made on the floor of the senate. The committee feels that there is no determtontion on the part of Mr. Cleveland to recall the nomination. In his inaugural the president, members of the committee say. practically advocated the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on state banks aind if such legislation is undertaken it will result in state banks buimg put, in some way, under a quasi government control, at least. ’I his would necessitate the presence of a master of finance at the bead of the coptroilers office, and it is this possible contingency that causra the senators serious concern iti their consideration of this nomination. The responsibility has, they claim, how ever, been assumed by the President and members of the committee opposed to his choice will content themselves with entering their protest against the nomination and cease endeavoring to bring about a recall of Mr. Eckel s name. Senator Voorhee. ®a<’.d that his atten tion had teen .all-d a few mornings ago to the recent decision of Judge raft and Judge Ricks, and that, those decis iohs had prompted the resolution which hi had offered. He was satisfied that the Interstate Commerce net went farth er than any one supposed it did at the ■time of its passage. He had read Judge Speer’s decision iu the no’”spapers. He thought, however, that the fault was in the law. and perhaps in the willing ness and eagerness of Federal Judges tc construe the law in favor of corporate power and against the labor ot the comtvv. The most dangerous question thVl the country was facing today was th’ encroachments of corporate power, <>l.| crlossal wealth against those who wi re helplessfly in its power, and whom it ’wanted to have chained to their labor as* completely ss the gallev slave was chained to his oar. This newer claimed that the railroad employe was enlistwl as a private soldier; that if he leit Ins noMt he v/as to be punished ns a deserter. When an issue of that kind was pre sented toe country hud reached the point where it became the senators to halt He heartily responded to the sen timent of the senator from Maryland (Gorman) as to the grasping power of the Federal judiciary, but thought that the Senate ought first to clean its own skirts, and ought to see to it that no law remained on its statute books which punished an individual lab’rer for leav ing the employment of a corporation whenever he choose to do so. He had therefore felt it his duty to introduce n resolution :>s t> wb it action might, be necessary for the better protection of the laboring people of the T.nited State? in their natural rights, and for their greater security from the encroachment of corporation powers:. Nobody pre tended that a railroad engineer could 'eave his engine endangering a train ot ‘ears and endangering th- fives of its PR.Bsenffers. But that was not all tlLit was contemplated in the Interstate ( om merce law. That law said in plain terms that he could not alone, and in an or derly wav. sever his connwtion from i corporation; that be' was enlisted to stay and was to be punished as a deserter if he did not slay. He (Voorhees) ha< •only this to say in regard to the juili oiary, that when bad laws are enacted, when mistakes -are made, some judges are -lad to mitigate those laws and to show no pleasure in their enforcement; but there were other judges who grasp ed after power, who loved power tor its own sake and enforced it rigidly. Jefferson, the groat apostle of popmar liberty in this country, foreseeing that danger, had once said that the Federal judiciaries were the sappers and miners of constitutional liberty, and, Voorhees added, so thev are. such of them as have with a greedv thirst and hunger to en force the laws of this kind to their ut most limit. I think that the Committee on Interstate Commerce cannot be better employed than inquiring into this dan gerous position. Senator Platt did not feel that the crit icisms passed upon the imlicial decisions referred to were well taken. They seemed to eminently resemble in plan the purpose of good law and common sense The real laboring man of thi* country desired to engage in no organi zation or association or to be guilty of anv act that would affect disastrously the operations of trade, and no greater •injury could be done to him and to his than by intemperate appeals to him to defend any fancied right, to engage in associations or organizations calculated to do public injury. It was not wise (Platt, went on to say) to attack the judiciary of the United States. It was not wise to charge the miheiary with desiring to usurp power. It was not wise to intimate that judges were czars. It was not wise to taik about the dis position of the judiciary to reduce labor ers to the condition of serfs; to talk about laborers being chained to theii oars The laboring man bad confidence in the courts and he would be protecten in all his legal rights. But he (Platt) did not believe, that while engaged in the employment of common carriers he could choose his own time to leave that employment. Senator Platt, apprehended That no laboring man, whether he be longed to a labor organization or not, would set up that right, a.nd therefore it was not true, as a matter of law, that the eraplove could always quit the ser vice of the common carrier Just when and how he might quit that service, and under what circumstances, he would not undertake to say. 1 liat might safely be left to -the courts. If the courts had made anv mistakes in the recent de cisions, the Supreme Court, of the United States would set it right. Debate was con’tinued by Senators Butler. Hoar, Cul lom, Call ami Chandler aud then the question went over till tomorrow, when Senator Palmer will speuk upon it. Senator Gorman moved to executive session. Senator Hoar antagiinized the motion and called for a division. The voTe stood yeas, 24; nays. 10, no quorum, and the Senate adjourned. DYING BY HUNDREDS. The People Have Ceased Trying to Bury the Dead. Moscow, April 10.—The famine in the European part of the government of Pehtu is worse than ever before. That poor are dying by hundreds. In thd smaller villages the people have ceased trying to bury all the bodies. The re latives of the dead lire often too weak! to provide burial for their dead aiuli so leave the bodies lying on the roofs of the houses. Despite the severity of; the law against seqret societies and the prohibition of the collection of funds save through officials, private associn-! tious are forming to secure food aod.j clothes for tlie sufferers. These asso ciations. although inadequate, give the only relief which the peasants can ob tain. The state committee has beerr dissolved and the provincial authorities have taken no steps to reorganize it. It is estimated that 252,000,000 pounds] of grain are required to alleviate thej distress and keep tile peasants in food until the next harvest. IMPEACH M ENT PROCEEDING S. Lincoln, Neb., April 10.—The judges of the Supreme Court of Nebraska, met as court of impeachment this afternoon for the first formal hearing of state offi cers and ex-officers. Each of the defend ants was represented bv counsel, and there appeared as persecutors the legi» lative eomimiittee and three attorneys who assisted in preparing the article!' of impeachment. Ex-Trensnrer Hill and Auditor Benton, announced that thev would question the jurisdiction of the court on the ground that it was un constitutional to bring impeachment pro ceedings against ex-officials, but ex-At torney General Leese declared himself ready for trial. After some discussion the court issued a rule requiring the attorneys for Hill and Benton to file their pleas in abatement next Monday, which will be heard a week from next ; Friday. General Leese will answer by i next Monday and the others two weeks from today. The hearing of the eases on their merits will occur three weeks from today. DR. BRIGGS WINS. New York.

Union Workmen at the World’s Fair Go Out. Their Places Are Being Rapidly Filled. No Rioting or Bloodshed in Anticipated by the Authorities. Chicago, April 10.—In obedience to the order of the Building Trades conn <‘U, lour tiiousaud union iDechanies cm ployed at the World's Fair grounds, did i not go to work this morning. The trades represented are carpenters, painters, or niL'mentii! iron wotikers, hod curriers, tin and slwet iron workers, laChers, cor nice . workers, etc., brick layers, stone cutters, land plash-rens not included, j The men claim that the council of ad ministration of the World’s fair has broken faith with allied trades upon the arbitration question. The men are quiet but as fust as workmen approached they were taken in hand by pickets and re quested not to go to work. Probably eighty per cent, of the trades interested did not work. At 10 o’clock a messen ger came from the administration build ing anviiting representatives of the strikers to n conference. The invita tion was at. once accepted.. Nothing looking to a settlement was accomplished in the conference, the pres ident taking the ground that there was nothing to arbitrate. Iliginboth.-im pro fessed to be not the leas t dismayed when he heard the men had gone out. He said he was sorry that they had de termined to go out, but the fair was a gigantic enterprise which no labor strike could seriously affect. Every place would be tilled, and that soon. The question of the. employment of Union labor only . which the building trades council want 'ed to reopen, Higiubetham said, was permanently settled two years ago when it was agreed between the council and fair officials that there should be no dis crimination, tluit union and nonunion men should be employed alike. Now twenty days before the completion of the fair council asks to have that mat ter .arbitrated on as if it w’ere a new subject. He thought work would not be greatly delayed, but if it should be, the pimple would know where to place the blame. He anticipated no rioting, no bloodshed. The fair had ample police protection and work would bo pushed. Already signs are being placed about the grounds and in the neighltorbood of the park announcing that carpenters, liainters, iron workers and various other trades workers are wanted. Many men applied for work today and were at once given employment. Fully two thousand men remained at work in spite of tlie order to quit. The miwrtonai-y work of the strikers among the workmen who refused to quit led to a few personal en counters, but nothing worse than fists were used and as a rule quiet and good nature prevailed. Chicago, April 10.—The strike inau gurated at the World's Fair grounds this morning was amicably settled to night at the meeting of the council of ’ administration with the executive com mittee of the Building Trades council. The whole troubled is settled so far as the exposition company is concerned but there are. however, several contrac tors on the grounds who must sign the agreement before their men will return to work. There are 2,000 men who will not return to work in the morning on this account. The committee will be at work early endeavoring to get these contractors to sigu the agreement, which . will put these men at work and enable s tlie great, enterprise to be pushed to an I early completion. The session of the two i committees this afternoon was a long lone and both sides of the trouble were j thoroughly discussed. I Director of Works Burnham proved to President Russelll, of the Building Trades council tluit tlie building trades ; had agreed when work on the fair was • commenced that, union and non-union men should work together without, dis crimination. It was this question of hir- I ing non-union men that was the real 1 cause of the strike. President Russell finally acknowledged that in one partic ular the building trades were iu the wrong. ! An agreement was drawn up and sign ed and the strike was declared off, and i Preriidewt Russell promised that the ! men should return to work tomorrow morning as if nothing had happened. ! Delegates will be stationed outside the I grounds to instruct the men to go back j but not to allow the men working for ' those cowtractors who have not. signed the new scale to resume work. The meet ' ing broke up in a very friendly manner, the delegates shaking hands with Presi ; dent Higginbotham and Director of Works Burnham. REPARATION MADE.
