A Continued Rally to Cladstone's
Side.
a Belief that His Home Rule Bill
will Pass the Commons.
Prompt Measures Taken by Prus-
sia to Guard Against Strikes.
tBy cable to the Boston Sunday Herald.)

LONDON, May 1.--Great Britain continues
to rally to GladstOne's side on the Irish queS-
tion, and now there is no longer any doubt
anywhere that whatever becomes of the land
BILL the home rule bill is sure to be carried
through the Commons by majority of at
least 90. The practical unanimity which the
meetings and declarations of the last week
have shown to exist in the Liberal ranks,
both n England and Scotland, in favor of
the Premier's policy, has scared nearly half
the original number of would be seceders, so
that now the organizer of the cave, Albert
Grey, can only count on 30instead of 70 rats.
Furthermore, of the 80 there is scarcely one
man, outside the four or five leaders, of any
exceptional weight or reputation, and sever
al of them are mere soreheads, like Rylands,
whose hostility to Gladstone arises from his
not having got a government post, and
Mitchell Henry who is incensed against the
Galway at the general election. One of the
most surprising developments of the situa-
ton is the loyalty to Gladstone of the gener-
al body of the Wings who had been. reck-
oned on as sure to go with Harrington.
Their attitude is chiefly due to the speech of
the House of Commons but for his health.
But it is also due. in a minor degree, to Earl
Spencer's support of home rule, and espec-
tally his speech of last week, which has al
ready made lots of converts in all parts of
England Irish meetings in Great Britain con-
tinue few, but they are not wanted, when out
of 70 meetings held in Scotland under the
auspices of Scotchmen, two only have de-
clared against Gladstone. There can hardly
be said to be any reason for Irish interfer-
ence Michael Davitt however, is speak
ing in several parts of England, and is Gre
ating very considerable effect in Ireland.
Almost universal quiet prevails, but there
are not wanting several significant signs that
Gladstone has made considerable headway
in at least winning the heartslof the Irish
people, as, for instance, to have his health
proposed at dinner in the Dublin Mansion
House by man like..Lord Mayor Sullivan,
the author the Irish national anthem, God
Save Ireland" and to have it spoken to by
so advanced politician as Healy; to have
it spoken to in another assembly by a still
more advanced man, like VIM. Redmond,
and finally to find the Archbishop of Cashel
and his priests, to man, publicly thanking
the veteran statesman. These are events
that indicate plainly enough that the prime
minister has got now, at last, on the right
track in the matter of Ireland. On the other
hand, the Irish Loyalists are getting more
and more infuriated, and are venting their
spite after their usual paltry fashion. A few
nights ago at dinner in the College of Sur
geons in Dublin, the Loyalist crowd in at
tendance cheered loudly the Duke of Aber-
corn, the head of the Orangemen, and re-

Opening of the New England Base
Ball League Series.
Brockton, Haverhill and Newbury-
port the Winners, Saturday.

Saturday afternoon the New England
League season was opened by the Portlands
in Brockton, the Newburyports in Boston,
and the Lawrences in Haverhill, and all of
the games were witnessed by large audi
ences, showing that a lively interest is mani
tested in the clubs in the league. The
Portlands did not play the game it was sup
posed they were able to, and as a result the
Brocktons handsomely took them into camp.
The Boston Blues played a. much better
game than was expected of them, and as
result the Newburyports had their hands
full to defeat them. We predict that Boston
will be one of the strongest teams in the
league before the end of this month. The
Lawrences showed up poorly at Haverhill,
and were badly defeated by the Haverhills.
Apparently the Lawrence club is not as
strong as we have been led to believe, but it
is a little early to judge of the team yet By
the end of this week fair estimate of the
several clubs can be made, as they will then
be in good trim and better acquainted with
the different grounds of the clubs. The
story is told below:

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, May /.
The ordinary duliness of Saturday ses-
sion of the House was unexpectedly relieved
this morning Mr.. Lindsay Dem.) of Mary
land, from the committee on reform in the
civil service, made unanimously adverse
report on a resolution offered by Mr. Taulbee
(Dem) of Kentucky, with regard to the EN-
ployment of substitutes in the Treasury De-
partment, and, neglecting to call the previous
question on the adoption OF the report, gave
Mr. Taulbee the floor He ayailed himself of
the opening to make an attack on the manner
in which the civil service law had been en-
forced, not by the President or Secretary
Manning he said, but by their lieutenants,
the heads of bureaus, who had deceived
them. His powerful voice drowned the hum
of conversation, and quick fusilade of in
terruptions and retorts, spiced with applause
and laughter, seemed to opeu the way Tor a
"Scene," and members of the Republican size
quickly grouped themselves in front of the
orator.
Mr. Cannon (RepublicaD of Illinois asked
Mr.. Taulbee if the President had not the
were complained of. Mr.. Taulbee, answered
yes, but asked if Mr.. Cannon thought the
President ought to do so.
Mr.. Cannon replied yes, if they had acted
improperly,
from Illinois on this point was isolated from
his party, and added, amid much laughter,
that he had not time to answer any more
fool questions" He then proceeded to asSail
the committee for it's action, intimatlng that
it had been brought about by tournament
of words" which had passed between himself
and the committee.
Mr.. Grosvenor Rep.), Ohio, asked if it was
in order for the Republicans to retire while
this family dispute was being settled.
Continuing his remarks. Mr. IaulDee de-
clared that he stood on the high plane tnat
the Democratic party was entitled to at least
half the offices, and he complained that Ken
sucky had received only seventeen appoint
ments to vacancies in the Treasury when it
was entitled to thirty-three.
MI. Findlay replied, and the excitement
gradually quieted down. But on the question
OF adopting the report tabling Taulbee' s reso,-
tuition the vote was Unexpectedly close, and
the yeas and nays had to be called to decide
the question. Tho report was finally adopt
ed by ia to lib, both parties dividing on the
question.
Mr.. Reagan, from the committee on COM
merce reported resolution for sundry sta
tisticS as to the fisheries of the United States
House calendar.
Mr.. Cox, from the committee on foreign
affairs, reported bill amendatory of the
Chinese immigration act. House calendar.

VITAL STATISTICS.
Interesting Report of Or. John S.
Billings, v. S. A.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The report of DR..
John S. Billings, Surgeon, U. 5. A., on the
mortality and vital statistics of the United
States as returned for the tenth census (June
/. 1880 has been received by the Secretary
Of the Interior. In order to study the intlu-
ence upon the health of the inhabitants ex-
erted by the peculiarities of topography,
drainage, climate, etc., the report divides the
country into p regions, the physical charac-
teristicS of which are more or less distinct.
The names of the diseases which cause more
than an average number of deaths in each
of these regions are given, as well as those
which in point of mortality are below the
average The total population in 1880 was
80 155, 1893; an increase in ten years of II ,597,
412. Of this increase, 2S1, ,219 per annum may
be taken, says the report, 'as due to immi-
grafton, the total number of immigrants for
the ten years being 2,S12, ,19l. This makes
the mean annual increase due to the excess
of births over deaths, S7S,522 The mean
annual birth rate for the United States is
given as Sc per 1000. 1t appears from the
data presented in the report that the United
States as a whole during the census year
had comparatively low death rate, and a
high birth rate The death rate is shown to
have been higher in the colored than in the
white population, in the foreign element
than in the whites of American parentage,
and in the cities than in the rural districts.
The most important causes of disease and
death were consumption, pneumonia, dlph-
liberia, typhoid fever, malarial fevers, and
those ill-defined forms of diseases to which
children under one year are subject This
appears from the following table which
gives the principal causes of death during
the census year in the order OF their frequen-
