Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, April 22.-The important speeches
last night by Spencer, Chamberlain and Morley
point in the direction OF harmony. Spencer's
speech was chiefly defense of the land pur-
chase bill and the Irish character generally.
Chamberlain repeated his previous criticisms
with greater detail, but in very conciliatory
tone, ending amid the loudest cheers OF the
evening, with the statement that If the repre-
sentation OF Ireland at Westminster could be
arranged ana something be done in recognition
OF the peculiar position OF Ulster, lac would
support the bill. Morley on the other hand
argued specially and at length against the re-
tentlon OF the Irish members at Westminster
but carefully RETAINED from saying that their
exclusion was a condition OF his support.
OPINION IN LIBERAL CIRCLES

MISS FOLSOM SELECTING HER TROUSSEAU IN

The New York Times Buffalo correspondent
has received information concerning the coming
marriage Of President Cleveland and Miss
Folsom, which that paper says may be con-
sidered quite reliable. 1t was received almost
directly from Col. J. B. Folsom, of Folsomdale,
Miss Frankie's grandfather, and is to the effect
that the marriage will take piece in June, Miss
Folsom Is now buying her trousseau in Europe,
her grandfather having furnished her with the
means. Col. Folsom made the further remark
that he gave his granddaughter 81 900 when
she went away. and that he had just sent her
5000 more, to be used in buying the trosseau.
This Information comes through but two per
sons from Col. Folsom, and cannot therefore be
much, II any, distorted; and besides, the family
has long been on intimate terms with the Fol-

taken.

claimed Mr.. Ranney, rising to his feet.
Mr.. Hale moved to adjourn, but no notice
was taken of the motion amid the excitement.
Chairman Boyle retained his seat directly be-
side MIR. Ranney, and with some warmth re-
piled: THAT is ungentlemanly on your part
Mr.. Ranney.-You are rejecting ON my mo-
tives and won't withdraw it.
