THE HOME RULE QUESTION.

synopsis of Giadstone's Remarks on
Moving the Second Reading.
LONDON, May l2-Mr Gladstone's speech
in the commons Monday on moving the
second reading of his home rule bill is
generally ad, ersey commented upon by
the London par ers and The News says there
is strong possibility of the re ejection of
the bill MIR. Gladstone's sp, ech was
frequently applaude', and was another
earn, 81 and vigorous appeal to the British
parliament to do justice 10 Ireland. Proba-
bly, the most effective portion of the speech
was where he cited history in support of hin
proposition He called attention to the
granting OF autonomy to Canadr; recited
the facts precedent TO that grant: how the
people OF the colony went into open rebel
ION, and it was not an Irish rebellion either.
The insuIrection, said Gladstone, was put
down, but Canada Won polite al victory,
for immediately afterward home rule was
established for the colony. Since then the
relations of England and Canada have been
immeasurably better than they were before
When the bill for Canadian autonomy
was introduced in parliament, said the pre-
mier, the very same arguments were
used in oppo5ition as are used now against
home rule for Ireland The cases We're not
it was true, exactly parallel. but the cause
Of the trouble in both cases was desire for
self government, and the same remedy
must be applied He expressed his faith in
the loyaly of the Irish under the degree of
independence provided for in the bill, and
had no doubt of prompt response TO any
call of the imperial government in the event
of foreign war. This was received by the
opposition with loud laughter
Harrington replied to Gladstone very
briefly and moved the postponement of the
question for six months, and the debate was
al ourned until Thursday.

the noted temperate e agirator, who is under
bond at Springfield, Mo, for compli lty in
the murder of Sarah Graham, tn. will,
of her bigamous protege George e.

assailed with charges of immortality A. we'll

tain times and places which he specified he
had occupied the same rooms at hotels with
Mrs Molioy and Cora Lee He also re-
3ected upon the reputation Of Mr.. Talbot,
a temperance header of Indians, aud had
something 10 say regarding the fact that
Mrs MOioy and her Husband were not
living together
Regarding the alleged designations,
Mrs. Molloy produces ailidavts showing
that On the datrs specified she was at places
many miles distant from where the ass2na-
tions were said to have taken place and
testimony is given showing that Graham
lied with reference to Cora Lee also The
evidence adds more ignomy into the mem
ory of CT taham, for it shows he deliberately
registered Miss Lee and Mrs Molioy as oc-
cupying hotel rooms with him when he was
with other women.
Regarding Mr. Talbot she says the
statement that ho had anything to do with
the separation of herself and husband is a
gross fabrication, and says her husband at
tended Talbot in his last illness Her own
marital troubles she says are the business of
no one but herself and Mr. Moloy, but is
sure the latter never said a word derogatory
to her reputation.

KANSAS CRY, May 11.-About 1890
o'clock this morning ominous storm
clouds began gathering over the city
They first appeared in the northeast and
surging westward across the city, turned
suddenly about in their course and de.
scending rapidly broke upon the city
in terrific burst of wind and rain, that
swept all lighter objects before them.
The darkness was almost like night and
people fled TO the nearest shelter and
awaited with blanched face the fury of
the tempest The clouds seemed to Craze
the roofs of the highest buildings and
poured out their torrents in apparently
solid masses for time.
The storm struck the city in full force
about twenty minutes past eleven and
ragged for half an hour. The streets were
running rivers of water, carrying boxes
and signs and other similar freight blown
from buildings, or swept up by the flood.
A number of vehicles were overturned,
and in numerous instances drivers
abaEdonded their horses to their fate and
sought refuge in stores and houses.
Some hail accompanied the storm, but
the fall was not great, otherwise the loss
to property would have been enormous
from water streaming in at broken win
dows As it was the windows in quite Il
large number of large buildings were
blown in and goods and furniture are
water soaked All this, however, proved
entirely insignificant when the full extent
of the disaster wrought by the storm
became known.
