During the trial a crowd brought a rope

Wasuinoton, Jannary 28.—Tho War De

London, Janaary 27.—Messrs. Rothschild,
Grey. Elliott and Warehouse, Liberals,
voted with tho government iu the House ot
Commons hist night
Colling'* amendment, on which the gov
ernment was defeated, exproesee regret that
no measure's are announced in the Queen's

depression in trade and agriculture. Par
ticularly in regard to offording facilities to
form laliorers, etc., for obtaining allot
ments of small holdings on equitable terms

A later analysis of the division in tho
nou.se of Commoni to-night shows that
Hsrlington and Goschen abstained from
voting, and that only seventy-three P»r-
nellites voted. It is rumored that Hurting-
ton will retime to enter tho cabinet nnder
Gladstone, but will undertake to lead a
separate party in opposition to the home
rule.

The pressure was too great for the strength
of tho levees and nbreak occurred, through

fears are no >/ entertained that the cross

London, Jannary 28.—The Times urges,
in view ot the general opposition to Lord
Granville resuming tho office ot minister
for foreign affairs, that he would make an
excellent prcaident of council and leader in
the House ot Lords. The Times also potoU
ont laird Hartinuton's splendid chance to
construct a national party of Whig* aud
Conservatives opposed to homo rule. ‘ ‘The
msteriaU for the formation of

"and the emergency requires only a leader
ot sagacity anil courage."
Both Mr. Gladstone and Sir Alicbael Hicka-

Tlio Evening New* says: It has the an.
thority for stating that Lord Salisbury lias

The Queen has summoned the Marquis
of Salisbury to confer with her at Osborne.
He will dine with Her Hajealry this even

Lord Salisbury dined with the Queen this

to co-operate with Mr. Gladstone.
London, January 29.—The Standard this

the country may oxpect a succession of

The Post says; Lord Uartington conld

EXPUL8ION OF THE POLES.
Illmnarck ExpUlnii In m Long Speech Why
They Unit On.
Bnblxk, January 28.— Bismarck to-day in
debate in Prussian Landtag on tho expul
sion of Poles from Germany, made a re
markable speech, occupying two honnin
iu delivery. He said the primary «anse of
the government's action was disloyalty ot
the Poles to the German crown. Thoy
were, ho said, constantly engaged In in
trigues against the government and lmil
made themselves a steady arrogance to
Prussia by acting as accomplice!
of tho opposition iu the German parlia
ment. They effected the majority against
the government nnd the crown coni ‘
iiutluog less than either deny the demauds
of euch a majority or clae destroy the ovil
element which made such majority possi
ble. The Polish solution in Germany, Bis
marck said, bod always appeared to him an
element of danger, and haa compelled him
to keep a watch upon Knasia. The Poles
had been constantly nnd not always unsuc
cessfully endeavoring to set foreign States
against Prussia, “lienee,” continued the
Chancellor, “we have determined to buy
ont nil real estate offered by Polish
nobles in Prussian Poland, and placo
German colonists on the Units
hitherto oocupied by the expelled people.
In order; to make colonization innro per
manently to the benefit of the empire, tho
colonUU will be prohibited from marrying
Poles, The cost of the nodertaking will be
about three hundred million marks (about
$75,000.01X1), bnt tbo SUto will lose no
more than *0 per cent, of this loss, inudu
necessary by the exigencies of the caso iu
buying out an alien class and to
the Germane, while tho gain to the empire
will be nnmeaenreable. The government,"
spoke out the Chancellor, with great ani
mation, “will never concede the restoration
of PoUnd, nor a hairbreadth in that direc
tion. Tho Poles playtd a suspicions putt
in Knlturampf. Whosoever refuses
to help, protect and maintain
the SUte is not entitled to claim anything
from the State. As for tue, I am ready to
save my country, although it cost me my
head end honor. If anybody dares to at
tack the Prussia's frontier, I shall
say, like Air. Gladstone, bands off!' ” Re
ferring to the insinuation that the govern
ment's religious prejudioea had great influ
ence in its treatment ot th* Poles, Bismank
said: “Religion ia in no who connected with
tbe expulsions. As the policy of kindest
had failed, it become! necessary to reduce
the Polish element in Germany and increase
the German elamenL This is
tho roul reason for the expubdons, and
tho government has determined to persist
in this work despite the opposition
of tho Reichstag, and, in conclusion, 1 will
say that before allowing the fatherland to
be endangered, I would counsel Ihu Em
peror to make the federal government inde-
E ndtnt of the obstructionist tactics in the
icbststt, so for ss the constitution and
law of Germany would permit; for I would
hold any minUtorto be a coward who
should hesitate to stake everything to save
hU fatherUnd from danger.'' The Chan
cellor's speech is the principal topic ot
conversation in tbe capital to-night. It U
generally conceded that the speech ia equal
ly capable of being interpreted to fore
show either a dissolution of the Reichstag
or a roup if rial.
The occasion of Bismarck's speeoh was
the discussion of the resolution introduced
on Saturday hut expressing satisfaction at
the passage in the speech from the throno
promising measure* fur the protection ot
German interest* in East Prussia. Herr
Achenbach moved that the resolution be
adopted, and the motion waa supported by
Herr Wehr. Dr. Wlndthort opposed the
motion. After Bismarck's speech, discus
sion wts adjourned until to-morrow.

Supposed Dynamite Outrage.
London, Jannary 26.—Dynamite was re
vived in Norwich to-dey by a terrific explo
sion at tha Victoria railway station, which
partially demolished tbo building. No one
is reported injored. The cause of tbe ex
plosion is a mystery. Sir. Henry Haw
kins, Judge of tbe High Court of Justice,
had left Norwich on the train starting 1mm
another depot a few moments before the
explosion. It is believed by many that tbe
explosion was the work of enemies who
wished to iDjnre him, and who mad* a mis
take in regard to tha station. Justice Haw
kins sentenced Dynamiters Cunningham
and Barton to penal servitude for life on
Hay 13, 1885.
