LONDON, May 10.-Mr. John Bright, in
his speech In the House of Commons last
night, said that If great feet assembled at
at Cork or Galway, and offered free passage
to the whole population of Connaught (not
Ireland), 1t was probable that all, certain
that half, would find their way to the
United States, etc.
The papers warmly praise the tone and
matter OF Mr.. Gladstone's speech in the
House of Commons yesterday on moving
the memorial in Westminster Abbey to Lord
Beaconsield.
The Times, in its financial article, says:
"The suggestion at the Monetary Confer
ence, offered by NJ. Cernuschi, the French
delegate, that an international subscription
should recoup Germany the sum of "a .000,-
600 lost by selling silver, caused amusement
In banking circles"
The Times, in its financial article, says 1t
thinks there is growing opinion, which
opinion 1t approves, that the British Gov
ernment should not attempt to bargain with
France about a new commercial treaty, but
It should abandon the negotiations
unless there is distinct understanding that
any notifications of the pres ent treaty shall
be more instead of less in the direction OF
free trade.
In the House Of Commons Mr.. Bradlaugh
to-day again advanced to the bar to be
sworn. The Speaker ordered him to with
draw. He refused to do so, when the Ser
geant- alarms at the Speakers request ap-
preached and touched Mr.. Bradlaugh on the
shoulder. He still refused to withdraw.
Sir Stafford Northcote then moved that
he be removed until he promised that he
would not further disturb the proceedings
of the House.
Mr.. Gladstone said Mr.. Bradlaugh had
statutory right to come to the bar Of the
House.
Mr.. Labouchere, Advanced Liberal mem
Der from Northampton, said he would like
to know the real meaning of Sir Stafford
Northcote's resolution.
Sir Stafford Northcote explained that he
proposed that Mr.. Bradlaugh should not be
permitted to enter the door until he gave
understanding not to disturb the proceed
ings of the House.
The motion was put and carried.
Mr.. Bradlaugh then left the House,
Sir Staff ord Northcote's motion in the
House of Commons to-day was that the
Speaker exclude Mr.. Bradlaugh from the
precincts of the House until he promised
that he would not further disturb the pro-
ceedings of the House. The motion was
carried without division.
Lord Selborne, Lord High Chancellor, has
written letter to gentlemen who inquired
concerning the recent rumors of his resig-
nation, saying that he does differ from his
colleagues regarding the oath question
He does not believe the House of Commons
ought to set up test against any particular
individual, and does not see how the House
can refuse to grant the same option to affirm
as is now granted by the law courts.
The London correspondents of the pro
vincial press renew the rumors about Mr..
Gladstone's partial or complete retirement.
The rumors are probably occasioned by his
recent illness.

TROUBLE FEARED In CHICAGO.
Serious Aspects of the SwItchmen's
Strike.

CHICAGO, May 10.-The situation in re-
gard to the switchmen's strike gives rise to
fears that it may end in trouble. During
the past week, while delayed freights were
piling upon the railroads, the railroad COM
panies arranged to bring fresh
gangs of men from different points
along their lines, and employed new men
in the city, so that yesterday there was
general activity in the switching yards.
This aroused bitterness among the strikers,
who interfered with the fresh hands Wherever
they found them unprotected by the police.
This merning fifty new men on the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern Road we're
compelled by the threats of the strikers to
Quit work at the stock yards at Engelwood.
At some points trains were cut by having
their coupling pins taken out and carried
away.

STOPPING OVER IN SAVANNAH.

Homeward bound from Florida we stopped
over in Savannah one night to attend the Ma
sonic Fair and Bazaar, and l wish to express
my surprise at the very honorable manner in
which il was conducted
noticed that there was no imposition upo1
strangers, no importuniug of visitors to take
chances in raffies against their inclinations
and no keeping back of small change. One
little girl ran about for some time to get
change to give me back nickel, although
desired her to keep it.
Such conduct may have lessened the receipts
of the Fair, but it has largely increased the
reputation Of the Masonic fraternity and the
people Of Savannah, who realize that good
name is better than great riches The mana
gers and ladies have reason to feel proud of
their success, for they did noble work and did
it faithfully and well.
After the Fair closed for the night. in re-
sponSe to an invitation from Lieutenant Alexis
McNulty, we visited the grand military ball
of the Savannah Volunteer Guards at Masonic
Hall, where we We're cordially welcome by

SAVANNAH TO ATLANTA.

We left Savannah on Conductor Andy Charl-
toms train, and was surprised to find beauti-
full new passenger coach among the recent i'm
provementS. 1t was made in the Savannah
shop of the Central Railroad, and in style and
finish cannot be surpassed. 1t shows that first
class passenger cars can be made in Georgia
Colonel William NJ. WadleY and his excellent
wife were on the train, and yet no one would
have recognized him a. the great railroad
king. They came in quietly and occupied, Nth
their baggage, but one seat. While other pas
sengers spread themselves" over two seats
Even when Colonel w. was on crutches he took
his chances for a seat in the regular passenger
coach. And yet 1t is a frequent thing for a
special car to come into Atlanta with only one
man in it-a Superintendent or other official of
some railroad All honor to Colonel Wadley
for this noble example of unosteutatious CON
duct which he sets to less conspicuous railroad
officials.
We stopped over at Herndon to visit DR..

plenty. The new town of Rogers, named for

attractive every day. The old town of Wadley
