what Parneu had to Saw.

At the conclusion of Mr.. Trevelyan's
speech. Mr.. Parnell arose and was received
with cheers by the Irish members. a. Mr..
Trevelyan," he said, had stated why he
had left the Government, but not why he
had resigned his post as Chief Secretary for
Scotland CCheer from the Irish bench
es.] Mr.. Parnel then went on to justify
his past utterances and action, which had
been impugned by Mr.. Trevelyan. Speak
ing of America and the assassination litera-
ture which comes from America, Mr.. Par
nell said that the most of the literature
was neither American nor Irish litera-
ture. If Mr.. Trevelyan," he con-
tlnued, ''were to study the literature of
America at this moment he would find that
sympathy for a just settlement of the griev-
ances Of Ireland by the concession of do
nestle Legislature is shown by all classes,
whether Irish or native-born. Americans,
and more especially the native-born Ameri-
cans, are welcoming the efforts of Mr.. Glad
stone, in the belief that they will bring
peace between England and Ireland, and
more especially between Irish-Americans
and England. 1t is a remarkable fact that
the great meetings now being held in favor
of an Irish legislature are mainly called to-
gether and organized by native-born Anne
ricans. by the editors and conductors of
Irish-American newspapers. We regard the
fact that during the last five or six months
we have succeeded in nearly gaining the
sympathy of the two great parties in Anne
RIGA, Democratic and Republican, as a good
omen for the future. Cheers. AS to the
bill before the House, while reserving his
full expression of opinion until he had seen
the BILL Mr.. Parnell congratulated the
House of Commons on the fact that there
was still living an English statesman who
could devote his attention to this important
matter, and begged to thank Mr.. Gladstone
for what would not only prove a beneficial
measure from an Irish point of view, but
which he (Parnell) believed would be
found to be of equal benefit to England.
The bill, nevertheless, contained blots which
the Irish representatives would do their
best to remedy.
One of these was to be found in the f.
nancial proposals of the bill, which he re-
garded as very unfavorable to Ireland, es-
pecially in regard to the Irish tribute to the
imperial exchequer. He also complained
of the proposition in relation to the two or
ders intended to constitute the Irish Parlia-
ment, on the ground that the first order,
consisting of peers not subject to the infu
ence of the popular vote, would have the
power of hanging up measures demanded
by the people and their representatives for
two or three years, or more. However,
apart from these defects, he believed the
measure would be cheerfully accepted by the
Irish people and their representatives as
satisfactory solution of the long-standing
dispute between the two countries, and as
tending to prosperity and peace in Ireland
and to satisfaction in England. GCheers.

AT the conclusion Of Gladstone's speech
the Irish members held meeting to con-
slider the situation. All agreed to assent to
the proposal. notable incident of the
meeting was that Michael Davitt was
present and was invited to make a speech.
Collins of Boston was the only other out
slider ever before admitted to such a con-
clave, and he was not asked to speak.
This is of value as showing the final closing
up of the feud between the Irish Nation
alists, and is surely an auspicious occasion
and sign.
The belief is general that Gladstone has
strengthened himself and will carry the
measure through triumphantly. George
Otto Trevelyan surprised all by the viru-
lence of his attitude toward the bill. It
was expected that he would oppose it, but
not SO sharply. Minister expressed the
belief that second reading of the bill will
be carried by 40 majority and the third by
100.

Some 300 to 400 men advanced toward the
yards. Arriving there, they swarmed into
the yards and persuaded the men at work
to desert their posts. The crowd remained
in the yard for some time, and although
considerable excitement prevailed, no vio-
lence was resOrted to.
Just at this time, however, the Louisville
and Nashville freight train was slowly pas
sing, guarded by eight deputy sheriffS,
armed with Winchester rifles. In the mean
time crowds of men, women and children
had congregated on Broadway, where the
Louisville and Nashville tracks cross the
street, and also upon the Broadway bridge,
which spans Cahokia creek, and in the open
space to the east. Just as the train reached
Broadway crossing trouble began. The
crowd on the bridge began to yell and jeer
at the officers, and it is asserted stones
were thrown, which struck two or three of
them, and it is also said that a pistol was
discharged. The deputies Immediately
leveled their rifles and fired two volleys into
the crowd on the bridge, with fatal effect,
four men being killed and one woman
mortally wounded.
Three more militia companies from
Springfield and one from Carlinville came
in about midnight The Louisville and
Nashville freighthouse is now guarded by
troops and a company will no doubt be
sent to the Cairo Short Line.

The Chinese Treaty.

The acting Secretary of the Treasury, has
instructed the Collector of Customs at Port
Townsend, W. T., in cases where Chinese
subjects claiming to be merchants, teachers,
students and others of the classes excepted
from the restrictive provisions of the Chinese
Immigration Act, arrive at that port from
places in countries other than China, where
there are no representatives of the Chinese
Government, he (the collector) is to facili-
tate the determination, by the Courts, of
the treaty rights of the immigrants in ques-
ton, and is not to send back without judi
cial examination any of them, unless there
is positive evidence that they are of the pro-
hibited class.

A Serious Riot.

The quiet state of affairs which has exist
ed at East st. Louis for the past week, was
suddenly broken by riot. A large crowd
of strikers, numbering over 1000, formed at
the railway depot, and headed by the lead
ers of the strikers in that city, marched to
the Ohio and Mississippi depot, where
number of platform men were at work. No
guard of police or Deputy Sheriffs had been
stationed there, and the employees were
easily forced from their position Thence
the mob advanced upon the Vandalia yards.
Here a few deputies were on duty, who or
dered the men back. They refused and
made rush, bearing down the officers, and
swarmed through the gates into the yards
and forced all the employees at work out of
the yards. After repeating these actions at
three different points, the mob dispersed,
having accomplished their object, but not
before calling a meeting of the strikers,
to take place at Flannigan's Hall, where
resolutions will be adopted declaring that
no one will be allowered to fill the strikers
places.

THE DEBATE.
what TreveIyon Had to Say.


When the applause had subsidized George
Otto Trevelyan, who recently resigned the
position of Secretary for Scotland, after
eulogizing Mr.. GIadstone's grafton, pro-
ceeded to say that he interposed thus early
in the debate III order to explain the reason
of his resignation He resigned with ex-
IRENE conjunction and regret, although
the step then finally decided upon was
taken with neither doubt as to its proprietv
nor the least hesitation. He had Joined
the Cabinet because, as he considered, at
that time to have remained outside would
have been tantamount to a confession that
the Liberal party was Home Rule party.
This was a confession which he should
never be willing to make. He could never
consent to such a scheme as Mr.. Gladstone
had proposed. He had done his best O

selves with what he regarded as neither for
the welfare nor the benefit of the country.
Not longer ago than last June the whole
Cabinet was of the same opinion as him
self. What was it, he would like to know.

The only security, he urged, that Parlia-

The Speaker, at this point, interrupted
Mr.. Trevelyan, and reminded him that no

MIR. Trevelynan proceeded with his speech
by asking; How long would it be. if the
that had been submitted should be-
come a law, before Irish contributions to
the imperial exchequer would be denounced

health" r. G.. McCord said yesterday !:
Z" I have hopes of Arthur's ultimate re-
covery, but he has been a very i'll man.
His family are now hoping that he will
rally sufficiently to permit them to take him
away from the city. Theyhad planned a
trip to European watering place, but time
alone will tell whether Arthur will be able
to bear the fatigue incidental to the passage
across the Atlantic. His stomach is worn
out and refuses to perform its Office. Dur
ing the crisis in the disease DIR. Peters was
in constant fear lest kidney trouble would
set in. The ex-President's system has run
down, and he is in an enfeebled state, al
most amounting to complete postration."
