from China indemnity for injuries and in
suits perpetrated on American citizens.
Mr.. Worthingtnn, "f illinois, favored the
resolution. The United States boasted
that it was a Christian ration. Itbelieved
it was on a plane OF civilization higher
than China. 1t sent missionaries to hea-
the n China, and should it be said the nj
ted States would refuse that indemnity to
China which China had already made to

spector Byrnes made the arrest. Most en-
deavored to elude the officers by crawling
under the bed OF one OF the female inmates
of the house, and with whom he is said to
have been a long time intimate. The de-
tectives seized the anarchist few hours
after having located him, and when he was
pulled by his heels from under the bed he
presented a sorry spectacle. His puffy
head and puffy jowls were covered with
dust and dirt and his eyes were filled with
craven fear. He recovered, however, sufii-
GENTLY to wave his arm aloft and shout a
demand for ''liberty for the peope." He
was handcuffed and taken to notice head
quarters where he was locked up, the pic
ture of detection. Most, since he went in
hiding has spent much OF his time in New
ark, New Jersey, and in Jersey City heights.
He was found by tracking a man who sells
him white paper for his anarchist sheet.
In the house where Most was arrested were
found a Winchester repeating rifle with
bayonet and ammunition. and lot OF in
cendiary books and papers.

CHAMBERLAIN CONTRACTION.

Says the Salt Lake Tribune: "The Mon.
tana papers report that Agent Scott has
secured S45 rate from Montana points
on the Utah & Northern to the Grand En-
campment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public at San Francisco. Considering that
the rate for round trips from Ogden is to
be $40, the Montansns have certainly
secured very low rate for a round trip for
them"

Press and Other Attacks ON MIR. Glad
stones Measure.
LONDON, May, 1.-THE Pail Mall Gazette
this afternoon says that Gladstone speech
last night made bad worse and sealed the
fate OF the Home Rule bill. 1t adds that
Mr.. Henry La abouchere, who has acted as
an Intermediary between Gladstone and
Chamberlain, has informed ,he latter that
the Premier was willing to make adequate
concessions in order to secure he support
OF the Radical leader and his adherents.
His speech did not bear out this promise in
the way it had been accepted by Chamber
lain and the Gazette says he was asr onished
and disgusted and openly declared in the
lobby OF the House of Commons that he
had been misled and would now oppose
Gladstone bill ''tooth and nall
The st. James Gazette says there is no
longer any doubt that the "Disruption
bill'' in Gladstone's Home Rule measure
has collapsed.
The Globe asserts there is less chance
now than ever OF the Home Rule hill pass
ing it's second reading.
The Echo declares Gladstone's bill virtu-
ally doomed.
cHAMBERLAIN's CONTRACTION.
LONDON, May PA political meeting
was held at the residence of Joseph Cham
berlain to-day, and sixty members OF the
House of Commons were present. Cham
berlain explained the renewal of his activ-
ity against Gladstone's bill by saying he
had been clearly informed last Saturday
that the Premier was prepared to expunge
from the measure the clause excluding Irish
representatives from sitting at Westmin-
ster and thus maintain the unity OF the
Empire as desired by the Radicals. Cham
berlain declared that nothing short of the
withdrawing of the Home Rule bill would
restore unity among the Liberals. The
meeting unanimously adopted resolutions
declaring that those present would do the
utmost in their power to oppose the Gov
ernments Irish bill as there was no hope
that measures would be amen''e ed in way
to make them acceptable to followers of
Chamberlain.

LONDON, May 12.-Staunch Loyalists in
Ulster are concealing arms, fearing Mr..
Morely, Chief Secretary, will order the po.
lice to make raids for the purpose of dis
arming the people. Leading English Liber.
ais have subscribed f1OO to aid in buying
arms for the Ora angemen of Armagh. Drill
alists. Mr.. Chamberlain writes to the Bel
fast Liberal Association that there are
two nations in Ireland. and it would be as
unfair to force the Ulster Protestants to
'ubmit to the Catholic Nationalists as to
expect the latter to accept without appeal
the views OF Englishlnen and Scotchmen.
At the meeting of the London and Coun-
ties Liberal Union, resolutions were
adopted favoring the main pri. ciples OF the
Home Rule bill. Several amendments were
noisily rejected.

he would rouse the members of the National

modification of the Home Rule bill. 10

Ulster to Home Rule, Mr.. Davitt said,
scornfuily: leave them alone to US. We
will make short work with those gentry.
They are not Irishmen, only English and
Scotchmen who settled among US. 1t
would be an absurdity to allow them to
dictate to Irishmen how Ireland shall he
governed. The Nationalists will wage war
to the death against bill which d. es not
subject Ulster to the rule of a statuatory
Parliament at Dublin"
PETITION OF WOMEN.
A petition 371 yards long, signed by
30, 900 women of Ulster has been handed

seut respectively the nobility, the church,

30 years OF age and graduate of Lexing-
ton college. He is unmarried, but is en-
gagged to an estirnable young lady. He is
not handsome. but his ways are taking
with the lady members OF the Disciple
Church at Bed ford, this county, of which
he is the pastor. The girls got 70 talking
about their pastor recently when they
heard that he was engaged, and an investi-
CATION was ordered. The bashful deacons
appointed committee OF ladies to take
the testimony of the girls, which was after
ward submit to the deacons. few
evenings since the deacons found Rev.
Wright guilty of indiscretions, but exoncr-
ated him from all suspicion Of criminality.
Cora Beakle said: Wright has accom-
panied me home from meetings = number
OF times. and he has repeatedly kissed me. y
At the investigation it was developed that
he fooled with several other girls in the
same manner.

of the board of investigation and collected
all the testimony. He said: Nov, am
very friendly to Wright. think he was
indiscreet, but he did not mean to do any
wrongful acts. He acknowledged that,
while conversing with a married woman
upon one occasion, he placed his arm
around her waist and Rugged her slightly
The charge that he placed both arms
around the waists of girls and lifted them
bodily up the church steps, was not denied
by him. He said that he had hugged the
girls but with no intention OF shocking
Their modesty. Many instances were given
where the minister kissed the girls and
hupped them. 1t looks a great deal like
jealousy to me. The minister is very fine
young man, and has proved himself very

of the clearing, the regiment, numbering
500 men, was ordered to make Il dash
across the open field in front, dislodge the
rebel infantry and establish line still
nearer the Confederate capital.
A GALLANT CHARGE.
This movement was put into execution
under the eye OF the gallant Kearney HIM
self who had before used the Twentieth
Indiana in an exceptionally haza rdous
service and knew OF what heroic stuff it was
made. The space over which the charge
was to be made hal been a conrfield, and
in width about 200 yards, and
was borde1ed on both sides by Fl ont for a
distance of $50 yards to rail fence. be-
hind which the enemy we're lying down. A
large force OF Confederate infantry was con-
cealed in the woods on either side OF the
field, which fact was unknown to the Gen
eral, or the order would never have been
given which evidently exposed the advanc-
ing troops to a fire from both flanks as well
as from the front. Without awaiting to
was given, and the line with cheer sprang
forward on a run, carrying arms at trail,
and, preserving a firm front, moved stead
ily out into the center of the field, receiving
from the start severe fire from the woods
on the right and left. When about half
way across the Colonel saw that his men
were falling on every side, with no chance
to return the fire, AID that he was leading
his regiment into trap where they would
soon be annihilated or cap. ured, and be
ordered a recall and the larger part of the
regiment retired to the cover of the woods
in good order. The command was not,
however, heard ard understood by fully n.
hundred men who were in advance sur
rounding the colors, and this devoted band
kept straight onward the increasing storm
OF bullets, one by one dropping out, killed
or wounded. until they had almost reached
the Richmond side Of the clearing, when
they realized the perilous position they
were in and turned to the rear.
There were then only q few left and
these started to retrace their steps
