ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING OF PEOPLE AT
THE DEPoT-HE LEAVES FOR III
SCOTCH cxMPAIaN-A SPEECH o THE
PREMIER.
London, June 17-Gladstone started
this morning a IL O'Clock or his Scotch
campaign, accompanied by Mrs. Glad
stone. Thousands Of people oongregated
at Evil Way station. They seriously
blocked and delayed the approach Of the
premier's carriage. When Gladstone
finally succeeded in reaching
She station platform he found
It packed 9th people, who welcomed
him with enthusiastic cheering. The
people appeared DESTROYS of having the
premier address them with some parting
words, before going away On his arduous
errand. He arose and spoke from the
coach window. He thanked the people
for the honor of this extraordinary
demonstration. He adinred them
to allow nothing to hide
from them the bare question OF the
hour. "Attempts have been made the
venerable orator exclaimed, "and will be
made, to divert yonr attention from the
real question ut issue. This question is
solely whether Ireland shall be trusted
to manage her own affairs. Those who
deny ireland this right admit that
Canada and other British colonies
should enjoy such rights.
Are we to trust our
fellow subjects in Ireland, and gov
ern by love, or are We to adopt the
policy Of the governments enemies and
introduce into Ireland a government by
force?"
Gladstone then babe his hearers good
by and the train moved away. Enthuai-
astic and prolonged cheering accom-
panied its departure.

Harrington "Opens the Bali.

London, June 16-Lord Harrington
has issued a manifesto to the Rosendals
electors. He says: 81 regret the loss of
confidence of the majority of the liberal
council. Under circumstances SO grave
and unprecedented l cannot accept as
final the decision of any body of electors,

opinion is that the Irish difficulty is
only soluble by fundamental relations
between Great Britain and Ireland. 1t

the question in that light before

rate parliament for Ireland until q plan
has been put before them satisfying the
conditions which Gladstone himself has
declared to be indispensable. Apart
from the claims of Justice it is not denied
that there exists in Ireland a general
desire for q greater control of her own
affairs. This desire, within certain limits,
the liberal party recognizes as a reason

CONGRESSIONAL
sENArR.

Washington. June 17-Mr. Sawyer Of
fered a resolution requesting the post
master general to furnish the senate
information as to additional oompensn-
ton allowed postmasters under the act
of March 3rd, 1888, for which NO pro.
vision had been made.
Mr.. Ingalls, said it was not customary
for the senate to request subordinate
officers OF the government to furnish
information. He hoped tho usuaI word
would be inserted. The usual form
directs an officer to furnish information
called for.
Mr. Ingalls, offered q resolution re.
questing the president, il in his opinion
not incompatible with puhiio interest,
to- furnish to the senate information rel
atiye to the appointment and removals
OF clerks embraced within the provisions
OF the civil service act Of January Ie,
1883; also Of chief clerks and chiefs OF
divisions.
On tbs suggestion of Mr.. Cockrsil,
who wanted to amend and enlarge the
SCOPE Of the resolution, it went over one
day.
The senate then proceeded to consider
and act upon bills on the calendar, under
the i've minute limitation Of debate.

The Governor on the stapd.

Chicago, June 1.-THE. Journals Del
Moines special says: In the impeach-
ment trial the ex-governor was put on
the stand. The managers inquired as to
his attempt to gain access to the state
auditors office several times and found
it locked agsinet him, with Brown and
his clerks inside. He was there on
public business. The direct examina-
ton was very sharp. The cross ex-
animation sought to show that the gov
ernor's set purpose to get into the ofise
was to put Brown and Cattle out. That
pretense Of public business
was a sham. He was there
to do what he afterwards accomplished
by force of arms, in violation OF the Law.
The counsel for the defense spent several
hours to show that Brown did NOT deny
access to the Office for the inspection Of
the books by Che governor. but to pro-
tect bis Office from invasion and from
being ~anlawful'y disposed by the gov
srnor. Nearly the whole time was oc-
by objections from the manag.

THE HUMAN STOMACH.

After long and carefully made dgasts
of mathematical calculations and pracsi-
Cal experiments science has reached
the conclusion thata stomach is cheaper
to keep than gizzard In proportion
to their respective sizes and weight
birds appetite is somewhere near twenty
times as great as mans. If an Eng
lish sparrow eats ut II single meal one
OF the largest snails produced by it's
native country, rs he frequently does, a
man with gizzard would require a
whole round of beef at one sitting. The
robin redbreast, again, requires daily
portion of feed equ il to fourteen lineal
feet of fiShworm to keep him in nor
NAL condition of health Preserving
proportions, such q gizzard appetite in
man would demand of the largest
bologna sausage known to the German
population, a diurnal longitudinal mass
equal to sixty-seven feet. Given, man
as large n gizzard. multiply the result
ing consumptive power by the earth's
population. and the result would bs APP
palling. No man could earn sufficient
to eat, and the pro iucts of ali lands
would be totally inadequate to the
market demand. 1t were better that in
the economy of nature men continue to
be supplied with stomachs, and that
gizzards be relegated to the bipeds of
the feathered species, except, so far as
the word "gizzard may be used in the
figurative sense to indicate the presence
in man of that place where he carries
his "grit"

WILL BLOOD-SrAINS WASH OUre

To the present day the superstition is
rife that blood-stains cannot be washed
out. During the French revolution
eighty priests We're massacred in the
Carmelite chapel at Paris, and the stains
Called of their blood are pointed out
to-day. SIR Walter Scott in his "Tales
of Grandfather, declares that tho
bood-stains of David Rizzio, the italian
private secretary of Mary Queen of
Scots, who was stabbed in Holyrood
Palace by certain Protestant leaders of
her court aided by her husband, Darn
ley, are still to be seen. In Lancashire
the natives show q stone called the
"Bloody Stone" which was so marked
to show Heavens displeasure at some of
Cromwells soldiers atrocities at GAL
lows Croft. In Macbeth, Act ", scene
l.. Shakespeare alludes to the idea:
"Yet here is a spot
The truth about blood not washing
out can easily be explained In the
first place, if that of murdered person,
it is not often attempted. In the next
place. blood contains oxide of iron,
which sinks deep into the fibre of wood,
and proves indelible to ordinary wash
ing. Thus it is true that stone of u
porous nature and wood not of the
hardest kind are susceptible to the stain
of blood produced by the oxide of iron
which the blood contains. But the
blood of pig is as good as that of
murdered man.
