THE PREROG1TITEs OF MINIS TIERS.
Censure Of the BenconsneId Cabinet Moved In
the Mouae Of Commons.

LONDON, May 14,-In the House OF Com
mons last night Mr.. Dillwyn, Liberal. moved
that in the opinion Of the House 1t was neces-
sary that the limits Of prerogative should be
more strictly observed, 50 as TO prevent Minis
ters, under cover Of the supposed personal in
terpositon Of the sovereign from Withdrawing
from the cognizance OF the House matters which
Mr.. Dillwyn. In his speech, pointed out. as cx-
amples OF such matters, the annexation Of the
Transvaal. the despatch OF tho Indian troops to
Malta, tho sending OF the fleet 10 the Dar-
danellcs. 6c.
MIR. Gladstone called attention to the fact that
the House had already approved several acts Of
Government which the motion proposed 10 CEN
sure. He regarded the allegations Of the mo-
tion untimely and not supported by fact,
Sir Stafford NOrthcOte announced that tho
Government had decided 10 meet the motion by
a direct negative. Referring 10 tho imputntions
OF unconstitutional action on the part Of the
Queen conveyed in Mr. Diwyns speech. he
explained that Lord Lytton's correspondence
with her Majesty was not political-it was
merely narrative OF the movements OF the
troops
The Marquis Of tHartngton almost para
phrased Mr.. GladstOnes declarations.
Mr.. Cross the Home Secretary. announced
the Queen to Lady Frero was merely general
expression Of sympathy
The debate was adjourned Tor ono week. Tho
motion is certain to bo Overwhelmingly re-
lected. Much confusion was caused by tho mo-
ton which in its original form implied that
at the last moment remodelled into simple
vote OF consure Of the Ministers. The original
motion would have met with even less SUPPORT
than the present one.

Joseph Francis Simon, aged o. was among
tho dodgers in tho First Precinct Police Station
in Jersey City last night When n reporter for
THE SUN saw him the boy was seated on n box
devourng a big slice OF bread covered with Jam
that had been given him by Capt Jordan. He
was dressed in dark Knickerbocker suit that
had evidently seen hard usage The story that
he told the police was contradictory IA to dates
but otherwise consistent Ho lived. he said
with his father and stepmother at 30 Grand
street but he could not tell where Grand street
was. He said he attended the public school at
Seventh avenue and Thirteenth street and on
returning from school one afternoon last week
he found that his parents had moved. He
asked tho neighhors whore his parents had
gone. but could obtain no information. Then
he thought he had been abandoned, and he
called on u schoolmate named Waters who
lives he said. in Jay. street, and remained in
Waters home until Monday last. Then he went
to Jersey City He was arrested while wander
ing around the streets, and taken to the police
station.
"Do you wantto 60 homo ?" Inspector Murphy
asked him.
"No SIR" he answered.
"Why2"
cause I'll get licked" replied tho wall
The Jersey City authorities will take care OF
the boy until his parents are found.
