FIGHTING OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
The House of Lords Stubborn, but show
ing Signs of Giving in


LONDON, July ia conference OF
Conservative, peers and members of the
House Of Commons was held at noon to-
day at the Carlton Club. Lord Salisbury
vigorously denounced Lord Wemyss' pro-
posed motion that the House of Lords con-
slider and pass the franchise bill. Lord
Salisbury said that the House of Lords
would stultify themselves if they enter
tained Lord Wemyss' resolution, which
was proposed on his own initiative. He
urged the House of Lords to ignore all
threats and to firmly refuse to permit the
franchise bill to pass its second reading
until the government should distinctly
explain its plan for a redistribution Of the
seats in the House of Commons. The
Earl of Jersey urged compromise. Lord
Wemyss explained that he favored a COM
promise on the bill.
The meeting finally, by an almost unani-
nous vote, resolved to refuse to pass the
franchise bill till the governments plan
Tor redistribution of the Parliamentary
seats should be submitted.
The Pal Hall Gazette continues to
threaten the House of Lords. 1t SAYS:
'If compromise on the franchise bill is
rejected, the Liberals will not sheath
their sword till they eXterminate the
power which is incompatible with the
government of modern England.o
Mr.. Gladstone has written a letter to
the Liberal Association of Leeds, in
which he says that he still hopes to avert
the loss of the franchise bill.
The Postmaster General, addressing a
Liberal meeting at Shoreditch this morn
ing, said that the government would make
no further concession ON the franchise
question.
The Earl of Cadogan, under the sane
tion of the Conservative leaders, will
move IN the House of Lords, Thursday,
that the House present an address to the
Queen asking her to summon an autumn
session of Parliament to consider the
franchise question in conjunction with
the question of the redistribution of the
Parliamentary seats. The government is
not likely to accede to this request.
Lord Wemyss, finding only six Conserva-
tive peers to support his motion in rela-
tion to the franchise bill, has decided to
withdraw it from consideration from the
House of Lords.

A Country Chloe and Her Swain Make
SIippered Guardian Sing Small.
In James City county lives Mr.. Rich
ardson, says the Norfolk Vlrgia1dR, who,
until recently. had stepdaughter, Miss
Inez CTittenden, of whom he was proud.
She had sat under the Madeira vine and
the back porch and joined in sweet con-
verse with her lover, Mr.. Chas. S. Bailey.
These Madeira vine sympositlms were
held at various intervals until the young
people were In love with each other. But
the old gentleman bolted the convention
and refused to confirm the nomination.
So the Independents came to Norfolk on
Monday last and applied to the clerk of
the court for a license to get married. The
deputy, Mr.. Coleman, asked the age
of the young lady and was told she was
eighteen. He informed the young couple
that they must bring the consent of the
young lady's father or guardian, and was
told that she had neither. With his usual
caution the deputy demanded the written
consent of the lady's mother and formu-
lated such document, which was taken
from the office and returned with the sig
nature of Mahala Crittenden and wit
messed by w. T. Ballentine. The license
was then issued and nothing else heard of
the matter until stepfather Richardson
made his appearance in the Clerks office
yesterday and demanded upon what au-
thOrity the license had been issued. Mr..
Coleman produced the written consent Of
the mother, as above stated, and step
father Richardson foamed at the mouth
and pronounced it forgery, at the same
time declaring that he would proceed
against witness Ballentine. The couple
are supposed to be in the city and the old
gentleman went to look for them.
Bailey and Ballentine were both ar
rested in the afternoon and brought be-
fore Justice Saunders, who released them
ON bail. Ballentine tells a funny story,
to the effect that as he was passing down
Bank street he was stopped near Hines
wood yard and asked by Bailey if he
would witness the signature of the girl's
mother to permit for her marriage. An
old woman handed him the paper, and he,
suppOsiBg her to be the girls mother,
readily witnessed the signature, which, it
is said, was written by the girl. The old
gentleman was not so irate in the after
noon and was disposed to do the God
bless-you u-my-children act.

that had been given in part payment for some
OF the property Of the estate and which notes

VIEWS ON THE NOMINATIONS.
Senator Beck Says that if it Can't Be
Elected Then None Can.


Senator Beck Says that if it Can't Be
Elected Then None Can.
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Beck,
who has returned from Chicago, being
interviewed, said: sit was the greatest
convention ever held. 1t was composed
of the big men of the Democratic party
from all the States. The Republicans
couldn't possibly have such a convention,
because everybody knows that their dele
cations from the South are the riff raft,
black and white, of that section. 1t is
the best ticket that could have been made.
If we can't elect that ticket then
there is no use in our trying to
elect any. The Republicans are try
ing to extract some comfort from
TammanY's dissatisfaction, but that will
do them mighty little good. If we had
not disappointed Tammany, then they
would have said that we had submitted
to its dictatiOn, and that the ticket was
not worthy of support" The Senator be-
lieves Cleveland will carry New York by
at least 10000 majority, and that he will
be elected.
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT FRAUDS.
Referring to the Navy Department
frauds, the Senator remarked, ''Oh, we
don't know anything about them yet
just let us elect a President and
get at those books, and the
stolen funds will run up to $780,
600. Speaking of Secretary Chandler's
letter to Mr.. Hendricks, Senator Beck
said: off Bill Chandler had half the hon.
esty of DIR. Wales he would be better
man than he is by a great deal. Why
doesn't he put out the names of the Re
publican Senators who asked for Wales
retention. l signed the petition, and /
would do it again. DIR. Wales is an hon
est man and gentleman"
SENATOR FAIRS VIEWS.
Senator Fair, who has also returned
from Chicago, says that he does not know
Cleveland and cannot pass judgment upon
the merits of the nomination, but he
never, he says, saw finer assemblage of
representative and sober business men at
convention in his life than those who
nominated Cleveland, and he knew that
the nomination must be the wisest possi-
bic. Such men, he says, could not be
