Parliamentary Debate on the Morale and Practice
of Horse Racing-Mr Gladstone's Prepara-
lions for the Enjoyment Of Derby Day
Argument Of the Social Reformers
TELEGRAM TO the NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON, May 90, 1872.
During the session OF the House OF Commons
this evening lively sensation was created by
bold protest from Tom Hughes against horse
racing, and the usual adjournment OF Parliament
for the Derby Day, which occurs tomorrow.
Mr.. Gladstone moved that the House adjourn un-
til Thursday.
Mr.. Hughes, on rising to oppose the notion was
received with ironical cheers and laughter. He
pointed to the fact that the House adjourned
only two hours on Ascension Day for
divine worship, and now proposed to adj
journ twenty-four hours for the Derby.
1t was incompatible with the dignity of the Com
mons to recognize horse racing The English race
courses had introduced the most corrupt and in
sidiOus system Of gambling which had ever dis
graced any country. While he was opposed to this
species Of amusement, he believed in manly sports,
like international boat races, cricket and other
sanitary competitions Of human strength and pluck,
and thought they should be encouraged.
The motion for adjournment was carried by
vote of 212 to So.
CONDITION OF THE CROPS
The weather throughout England to-day is fair
and favorable to the growing crops.

1t Is not likely that this declaration fprinciple

The Quaker Conclave.


The anniversary, or ''Yearly Meeting" OF the
Friends or Quakers, which began on Sunday
promises to be one of the most REMARKABLE
events of a religious character that has very
recently occurred In this city. 1t is large
and able gathering Of the most prominent
members of the denomination The venerable
Lucretia Mott created the first sensation by
dilating upon the principles of peace, mention
ing in her discourse the settlement of the Ala
bama claims. On Monday epistles touching
upon the same subject from all of the quarterly
conferences of the Friends were read before
the body, and that topic, with others of
political nature, was weightily considered and
discussed. It was proposed to memorabilia
Congress, the State Legislature and the
President in relation to war, intern
perance and Indian civilization, and to
send to the international Penitentiary Con-
gross, which meets in London in June, an adj
Dress favoring the abolition of capital punish
ment These subjects were all given into the
charge of committees. The idea that the
Quakers, as denomination, are inert and un-
progressive is now disproved by proposition
to amend and revise the Church discipline,
which is also under consideration. Their
sentiments seem to be growing more liberal
and in keeping with the spirit of the age
Meanwhile, whatever views they promulgate on
public topics are listened to with the utmost
respect by the world, which has long &C
knowledged the admirable simplicity and con-
sistency of their lives.

PASTORS AND CHURCH PROPERTY.

CHICAGO, May %, 1872
In the Circuit Court Of Cook county this morning
s. c. Judd as, counsel for certain members OF the
Christ Episcopal church. filed n bill in Chancery
against the Rev Charles +. Cheney, PASTOR and the
trustees of said church, praying for an Injunction
restraining the further diversion Of the property
and revenues of the parish to the support OF the
pastor, who has been degraded from his office In the
Church by the Ecclesiastical Court. The object OF
the ap )cation is said to be not for the purpose OF
securing the property, but to obtain q decision from
the Court whether not the property belongs to the
Protestant Episcopal Church.. NJ. w. Fuller, as
counsel for the defendant, asked for II postpone
ment of the case, that the defence might have
time to prepare answer or demurrer to the
bill. The preliminary hearing was finally deferred
to June Is. Meantime the Court declined to grant
a temuorary Injunction.

TEE SEARCH FOR DR.. LIVINGSTONE.

From the San Antonio Texas Register. May 1911
Everybody will be glad to learn that Dr. Living
stone Is safe. Glad, not only because the wonder
full self-sacrince OF the man has awakened world.
wide interest In his fate, but also because his safety
secures to the world the treasures Of knowledge he
has gathered during his prolonged stay In the In:
terror OF Africa. The news regarding him Is yet
very meager, consisting OF a single brief despatch
from Bombay, stating that the steamer Abydos has
arrived at that port from Zanzibar, bringing ths
Intelligence that the traveller has been found BIZ
the expedition sent out by the NEW YORK HERALD.
To Americans there is additional cause OF congrat@
ulation In the fact that the men who have found
DR. Livingstone sent for that purpose by
single New York newspaper, at an expense Of manQ
thousands OF dollars.
From the Los Angeles tCal) News May III
SO much has been said ana written concerning
Livingstone, the African explorer, and 80 many
contradictory reports concerning him have been
circulated, that readers have grown incredulous re.
gardIng the correctness OF any reports touching
his fate or whereabouts. At last the mystery has
been solved and that by the enterprise OF this
greatest journal of America. In 1871 the NEW YORK
HERALD proprietor from his private purse, fitted
out an expedition with the view OF finding the dar-
Ing explorer II alive, ascertaining the place and
manner of his death. kilograms to the HERALD
from Bombay announce that Livingstone has been
found in the interior OF Africa ana was at Zanzibar
with tho HERALD expedition Mr.. Stanley. the
head Of the party will furnish the readers of the
HERALD with an account of the expedition, and the
world will wait with interest the appearance OF the
work expected from the pen OF DR.. Livingstone.
Always marvel of journalistic enterprise, the
HERALD this time fairly eclpscd ITSELF What 1t
may next attempt 1t would be dinlcalt to imagine
and folly to predict.
From the Philadelphia Evening Herald, May ISL
The NEW YORK HERALD some months since sent
out special expedition in search of DR.. Living
stone, and few days since the announcement was
made that the search was successful. The Doctor
has been found and Is now In safety There are
some journals which, envious OF the honor that
would rightfully attach to such an en-
terprse are disposed to doubt the cor
rectness OF the report OF DR.. Living
stones safety. All we have to say In the matter u,
that II the HERALDs story Is fabrication, no CEN
sure would be strong enough. But it not does bear
the aspect of cdna,d Ithasa truthful look, and we
are disposed to believe It, and accord to the HERALD
all the honor that rightfuy attaches to the exploit,
and which stamps it as the most enterprising jour
nal on the continent.

A Physical Observatory.

An important discussion is now going on in
England as to the founding of q Physical OBJ
servatory. Heretofore the Royal Observatory
Of Greenwich has been the principal institution
Of the kind proposed, but its insuffciency for
meeting the growing demands Of science are
acknowledged. Captain Toynbee and Mr.. De
La Rue of the Meteorological Office, are among
the most prominent advocates of the new scien-
tifc enterprise, whose scope is the investiga-
ton Of the physics of the earth and sea and of
the heavenly bodies. There can be no doubt
that such an institution is greatly needed. The
subjects of terrestrial and solar physics have
within few years grown into so much impor-
tance That we should hail with pleasure on es-
adjustment in which the wonderful phenomena
Of earthquakes and volcanoes, Of floods and
cyclones, and the observations Of auroras, mag
netic storms sun spots, eclipses and transits
could be fully utilized by capable physicists for
the public good and information. SIN meteor
ology," it is claimed by the friends Of such an
observatory for physical purposes, lit would
ultimately, if not Immediately, create revolu-
tion," giving, in lieu of dreary columns of
upon the world by well-meant but aimless in
dustry the results obtained by men of thought
and originality, 'laboring to refer to the great
source of all energy-to the itself-those
phenomena ct present the most difficult in the
universe to interpret The field into which
the labors of such an enterprise might be ju-
diciously extended is exceedingly wide and
almost limitless, embracing, besides the subjects
mentioned, the emanations from the sun and
stars, meteoric showers, terrestrial electricity,
ocean tides and currents, the atmospheric
pressure in its connection with earth shocks
and commissions, and many other phenomena
the regular and abnormal winds, the upper air
currents, the radiation Of heat from the clouds,
and many other questions Of more immedi-
ately practical nature. 1t is to be hoped that
the agitation now going on in England upon
this important and well-advised proposition
may be followed by energetic action. Many of
the utilities to which the English Physical OBJ
servatory would be applied are contemplated in
the organization of our National Weather
Bureau Of the Signal Service, under General
Myer, and we have no doubt that, with proper
governmental support, it will soon amply meet
oil the ends of physical research it was de-
signed to secure. The benefits of such ON in
stitution, as we have already found in this
country, cannot be estimated by any pecuniary
standard.

Sketch or the Archduchess Sophia.
The Archduchess Sophia was born on the 27th Of
January, in the year 1905, and was married to the
father of the present Emperor on the 4th OF Novem
Der, 1924. She was daughter Of MAMMALIAN Joseph,
the Second Elector and afterwards King of Bavaria.
The members Of what is known In Europe as the
ultramontane Tor extremist Pontifcal party Of
Rome) alliance will regret the demise of the Arch
duchess exceedingly, while their opponents
will be equally emphatic In their asser
ton that the most baeful influence that
has been felt In Austria for many years
has been removed by her decease. Educated
under reactiOnary influences In Bavaria during the
whole period of her residence at Vienna she was, 1T
is alleged, not merely allied with the ultramontane
opponents OF material progress, but became their
chief. Whatever incnations the Emperor, Francis
Joseph has exhibited to adopt liberal policy have
been 80 controlled by the Archduchess that the
most sangune friends of general advance In the
empire have been constantly on the alert against
betrayal of their principles. 1t is regarded as prob
able by the politicians that her removal will enable
the Emperor to consistently adhere to his policy Of
opposition to Papal infallibility.
