The Foreign Pfeaa 81 oiadstonaia
Home Hulas
LONDON, June 19-The telegraph
Conservative says "Mr. G~ladstones
Edlngburg grafton Is powerful, but Il
does not face the time Issues. He
fails TO perceive that bis plan involves
separation, while bis opponents occupy
firm ground on the Union. Lord Sails
bury has sensibly pointed out that the
FIRST duty OF the government, q duty
too long neglected, Is to restore order
Ireland"
The News (Ministerial) says Mr.
Gladstone struck the keynote when
be said this election Is the peoples
election. The question resolves itself
into home rule versus repression. The
people will not be easily frightened by
the big bears that Lord Salisbury and
his allies are c0Diuring.
The Standard blames Mr.. Gladstone
for dishonesty In declaring that the
home bill is dead when a few weeks
ago he declared he would never recon.
struct 1t. The so-called principle, con-
tinues the Standard, might mean any
thing. Mr.. Gladstone does not give
any details Of his contemplated scheme,
because he is unable to defend them.
He gives instead empty platitudes.
Lord Salisbury, on the other hand,
offers a well defined extension Of local
self-government coupled with the con-
tinued supremacy of the imperial par
lament.
The Times says: "If we had to de-
scribe Mr.. Gladstone's remarkable
spetch in a single phrase we would say
it is too clever by half. He has sur
passed himself in audacioHs quibbling
with plain issues in juggling with
empty phrases, in ignoring and per
verting notorious facts, and setting at
defiance the logic of common sense.
After begging In the last election for
a majority with which to resist Parnell,
he is now asking for a majority with
which to effect the surrender that Mr..
Parnell dictates. He poses a model of
constancy and thanks God he is not as
that publican and sinner, Harrington.

stones insinuations respecting the in
terview between Mr.. Parnell and the
earl of Carnovan, we have the ex
rlicit denial Of Lord Salisbury. The
latter's advice to the Conservatives to
support Unionist candidates in dis
tricts where the Conservative party is
not numerically strong enough to elect
candidates Of its own, is sound and
much needed.

MUNICH, Juhe 19.-The excitement

A tight occurred in the house to-day
over the item in the naval bill which
makes an appropriation for the erec-
ton Of the observatory building at
Washington, for which a site has been
purchased.
MI. Warner, Of Ohio, said that 1t
was his understanding that it was the
intention to construct villas for Off
GERS in charge of the observatory. The
clause as framed, as the Thought,
was no expenditure to the construc
ton Of the observatory buildings, but
SC as to admit of the building Of fine
country houses to be occupied by the
officers. He offered an amendment
limiting the cost 20 100000 and pro-
viding that no money should be *
pended except on the observatory
building proper.
Mr.. Adams, of Illinois, tried to make
a point of order, but it was too late.
Mr.. Buck asked Mr.. Warner about
the villas. He replied that there had
been considerable talk about the mat
ter in newspapers, and he had himself
seen the plans.
Mr.. Breckenridge said he thought
the clause should be striker out, and
the matter not acted upon until plans
were adopted.
Mr.. Warner withdrew his amend.
ment and submitted another, which
made no limit as to the cost of the
buildings, nor described their character.
Mr.. Blanchard then showed that the
plans had already been adopted.
This amendment Vas agreed to by a
vote of "a to g..
Mr.. Breckenridge moved to strike
out the clause as amended. This mo-
ton was lost by a vote of 81 to IA, and
the clause was allowed to stand.
The clause appropriates $4,000 to
start the buildings with.

A Decision Against Free Sugar from
San Domingo.

0aI DOiIllilA0s
NEW YORK, June l9.-Judge Cox,
of the United States circuit court, in
deciding to-day against the plaintiff in
the case Of Joseph Netherchift, VS..
Collector Robertson, Of the port Of
New York, said that the supreme
court will probably be called upon to
settle the question at issue. The
Judge said he could not believe that
congress ever intended to encourage
fraud by making San Domingo a
dumping ground for sugar from all
parts of the world. In October, 1884,
the plaintiffimported from Puert Plata
two cargoes Of sugar, on which Col.
lector Robertson assessed the duties
under schedule E. Of the tariff Of 1883.
The plaintiff protested, insisting that
importations of sugar from San Do
mingo should be admitted free under
stipulations Of the treaty with that
country of February 9th, 1867. Con.
gress subsequently, imposed new duties
on sugar, but in 1875 made a treaty
with the Hawaiian Islands by which
certain articles, including sugars, were
admitted free. In 1883 congress pass
ed a new tariff act, but it does net
effect treaties in force between this
and other governments.
