Special 10 the Globe.
LONDON, March 2S.-I have it on good
authority that Lord Spencer threatens to
retire if with the grant of home rule the
landlords are not safely guarded, and the
land-purchaSe scheme will therefore be
dropped 1t will be proposed to parlia-
ment, but as the Irish landlord party has
not been in the least won over by it. home
rule will now have first place, and the pur-
chase scheme will not be insisted on as es-
sential. This change of policy is due not
only TO the unyielding attitude of the land
lords, but also 10 the fact, not yet
publicly known here that about eighty Rad
icalS, headed by LabOuchere, have infor-
mally intimated to Gladstone that, while
ready to vote for any measure of home rule,
they Will not consent 10 buy out the land
lords. Parnell, can state, is pleased at
this new turn of affairs, and is now more
hopeful than ever. The Radicals are also
in better spirits than they were. Oae of
the most influential of them has just in
formed me that if Gladstone sticks to his
new course, Chamberlain will discover that
he has greatly overrated his own strength.
Speculation, OF course IS rife as to the ex-
tent of home rule which Gladstone will
propose, but
THE GENERAL BELIEF
shared in by the leading members of the
Irish party is that the premler's measure
will be large and generous. l can add
one fact of Importance in reference to what
will follow its adoption. Immediately on
the passage of bill establishing parlia-
ment in Dublin a royal commission will be
appointed to decide which of the various
government boards in Dublin will be re-
tanned and which will be abolished;
whether any amalgamation can be effected
in their regard, and what new departments
ought to be established. OF this commission
Mr.. Panell will be chairman and the other
principal leaders of the Irish party will be
members. The recommendation of the
commission will, on receiving the approval
OF the queen in council, have the force of
law, and this will be provided for in the
home rule bill. On the whole the prospect
is clouded. but personally am persuaded
that if GladStOne's health holds out he will
win, Stansfield and Lord Dalhousie, who
replace Chamberlain and Trevelyan, sup
port home rule.

The Farher-in-Law Talks.

A reporter OF the GLOBE called last night
on E. W. French. father-in-law of George
POwnall, the dead man. Mr.. French is a
grocery keeper on Payne avenue, corner OF
Cook street, Arlington heights. and said
that he had seen but little of Pownal for
several years, as he left Canada some
time before his son-in-law, and since the
latter's arrival here last April he had been
mostly employed outside of st. Paul. Pow
nall married his daughter twelve years ago
in GoldbOro. province of Quebec, Canada.
and the fruit of the union has been five
children, one of which Mr.. French has with
him. When POwnall first came to the states
last spring he was employed for
time at Post Siding. Getting out of en-
ment he removed TO Saltwater and worked
there for logging lirm, going into the
woods last winter. So far as Mr. French
knew the domestic relations of the Pow
nails had been pleasant. Pownall was
an industrious man and not addicted
to the Incorporate use of liquor.
He was not favOrably i'm
pressed with the country and was
dissatisfied, as he had not been steadily
employed. Mr.. French was not aware
that this preyed upon his mind TO such an
extent as to cause him to take his own life.
Mrs. Pownall was On visit to her parents
two weeks ago and was then expecting her
husband from the numbering regions. The
reporters visit was his first intimation OF
the occurrence, and the family was strongly
affected.

ST. LOUIS. March 2s.-The strike situ-

very quiet to-day. Aside from its being

then brisk shower. fell most of the day,
and nobody cared to lOiter about the depotS
and yards. The Wabash sent out one
freight train this afternoon, but beyond
this no attempt was made to move trains.
1t is stated tonight that a simultaneous
effort will be made TO start freights in all
the East St. Louis yards tomorrow morn
ing, the theory being that such movement
will so scatter the forces of the strikers that
a part of the trains at least will be able TO
get away. An attempt was made to prevent
passenger trains from leaving the Vandalia
depot to-night. but after detention of an
hour it got away. 1t was a train for Gin
cinnatl, and had no postal ear attached.
No interference has been offered to any
regular mail trains so far. Seven freight
cars were sent down the Iron Mountain
road TO Piedmont, the end of the first
division of the line, tonight. 1t is sup
posed that these are intended to man trains
to be started from that point Notwithstand-
ing the denial that United States troops had
been sent from Columbus o., TO st Louis,
four carloads of regulars arrived here yes
terday by the Vandalia road. and were
Immediately sent down to Jefferson bar
racks, twelve miles south of here, ON the
Iron Mountain road. These troops are osten-
slbly en- route from Columbus to Fort Lea

pora.ily. Their presence is mysteriously con-
nected with the strike, but nobody seems to

give out any definite information. A high
official, however. intimated tonight that in
view of the inability of the East st. Louis
and st. Clair county. ILL.,, authorities to
afford prompt and ample protection to rail-
road property, an excuse had been made
for the removal of troops from Columbus to
Fort Leavenworth. with lay over at Jeffer-
son barracks awaiting transportation. etc.
1t was true, he said. that no order had been
issued from headquarters of the army at
Washington or from Columbus TO send
troops here, and that no official request
had been made for them, but all parties
concerned fully understood the situation of
affairs and prompt action would be taken
as soon as the request could be made with

CHICAGO, March 2S.-While Rev. DR.. Kilt
redge, pastor of the Third Presbyterian
church. was describing in sermon this m orn-
ing how there were red-handed anarchists
lurking about the city ready TO burn or other
wise destroy property, escaping steam began
to issue from the pipes of the grand organ
just back of the pulpit. Pew renters in
front seats were the first to notice the steam
and moment later the entire congregation
apparently began having visions of dynamite
bombs and long-tared Socialists. The MEM
bers were soon scurrying through the aisles
pointing at what they thought TO be smoke.
When the audience was on the verge OF a
panic DR.. Kittredge turned about and quickly
announced that it was nothing but steam.
Brethren" he continued, ''it is an intima-
tion that l should put more steam into my
sermons" The subsequent remarks about
the Socialists were 1ercer than before.

BERLIN, March 2S.-Prince Bismarck In
a recent speech in the Reichstag. alluding
TO the growth of socialism, said that in the
time of the French Revolution socialism
proved powerful spiritual lever of French
victories, and that history might be re-
peated, though he thought the present
French army was opposed to the working
mems movement
ut is impossible" he continued, ''to tell
which party would be victorious. If great

FAVOR EIGHT HOURS.
Chicago Ministers on the New Move
nlenI.

CHICAGO, March 2S.-The representa-
tive clergymen of the city were interviewed
to-day regarding circular recently sent by
the National and Eight-Hour association to
all the pastors in Chicago. setting forth the
advantage of eight hours of daily labor for
the working people. The clergy are re-
quested to preach on the subject if it meets
their approval. Sunday, April 25. being the
day preferred. as il Immediately precedes
May L, the date the movement is to be put
in execution throughout the country. The
pastors to-day very generally expressed
themselves in favor of the eight-hour move
ment. Many had not received the circu-
lar and others were nOn-committal, merely
saying they had not yet cOnsd-
cred the question carefully enough
to express an opinion. The views
Of Rev. j. II. Barrows of the First Presby-
teTian church were fairly expressive of the
ideas held by the majority of the evangelical
clergymen. Said he: ''As far as | have
been able to look into the matter should
be favorably disposed toward it" Among
Others Prof Swing and the Rev. Thomas
L. Green strongly indOrsed the movement.
Vicar General Conway said the Catholic
clergy had not received any of the circulars.
If they had they would have come to him for
instructions. He said:
The Catholic clergy do not discuss topics
in the pulpit that do not have direct bear
ing on the doctrines Of the church. Whether
it is good thing to make eight hours a DAYS
work depends on the condition of things.
There must always be a point of difference
between labor and capital. Each has its rights
and neither ought to interfere with the other.

Severe Blow TO the Cabinet.

LONDON, March 2s.-The Economist
says:

could sustain. If the schism continues the
next election may result in returning the To-
ries TO power or in compelling the Liberals to
accept Mr.. Chamberlain's leadership. Either
result will be fraught with momentous conse-
quenceS.
1t is expected that there will be six seces-
sions from Mr.. GladstOne's party outside of
the cabinet. The report that Lord Spencer
will resign unless the land bill satisfied him
is not true. Lie has full confidence in Mr..

Pownall came to his death. DR.. B. J. Mer-

that the post mOrtem and inquest would be
held to-day. The inquest may bring out
new developments. An officer was sta

rests had been made. and none are likely to
be as far as is known. The. body will be
taken to Miller & Cockbum's undertaking
establishment this morning, where the post
mortem and inquest will be held. Those
who have worked with Pownall say he is
a faithful workman, quiet and industrious,
and did not drink much. and they did not
consider him quarrelsome when drinking.
In Canada he worked on a farm, but has
driven team since he has been in the United
