THE HOME RULE QUESTION.
Reports that Gladstone Will POSTPONE
it Without Foundation.

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, Feb. 13.-With regard to the report
which you telegraph me is printed in America
concerning the alleged postponement of the
home rule question TO the next session, am in
position TO state that the rumors are entirely
and necessarily without authority. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY based on a letter in tory paper saying
that Gladstone had written to member OF his
cabinet that the question will not come up for
six months, but this is probably fiction. No
course of action has yet been decided upon, nor
can be TIL early next week. The most trust
worthy sources, as 1 have already intimated,
give forecast that a home rule policy viii be
definitely announced by resolution when the
house of commons meets A small committee
will be appointed to report upon the general
question of the union of England and Ireland.
Meanwhile the landQuestion will be dealt with.
John Morley's great victory at New Castle
yesterday, where he received 1,01O votes more

fully. am able to state that when parliament
meets, Mr.. Parnell will draw attention to the
distress and imminent danger of famine in the

THE RIGHT OF TEACHER TO ADMINISTER
PROPER PUNISHMENT ON REFRACTORY
PUPIL.
This morning in the Police Court Mr.. John
Latimore, a school teacher I'm the jefferson
school building, In South Washington, was be-
fore Judge Smell charged with assauiting Chas.
Vermillion, pupil in Latimore's school, who
lives at $50 18th street southwest.
The boy stated that he missed his lessons, for
which his teacher made him stand on the floor
tor one hour and ten minutes at the expiration
of which time he said he was going 10 sit down,
and the teacher dared him TO do IL. and threat
ened 10 chastise him il he did. Witness said he
sat down and dared the teacher to whip him,
which he did, striking witness ten or Twelve
times across the legs with a whip.
The defendant testified that the boy missed
his lessons twice. for which he made him stand
on the floor and whipped him. He said he
only dealt the boy four light blows across the
legs.
The judge said he thought the testimony
showed that the whipping was not very severe,
and was only such punishment the law per-
mits. A person, however, should be careful
about standing boy In a room for such n
length of time, as the child might have such a
constitution as might be injured i'm that way.
Ii would not, however, constitute an assault
but would be q case where action for damages
might be brought. The common law gives the
teacher the same right as the parent The case
was dismissed.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Feb 13.-The verdict i'm the Dixie
case is another example of legal paradox. A.
committed adultery with B., but Ii. did not
commit adultery with A. Crawford's account
of his wife's confession is here reported YER
batim. The reporter told me he had reported
divorce cases for twenty-five years, but never
before heard anything SO revolving. Tie Daily
Neacs and the Telegraph have editorials well
coming Dixie effusively back to the cabinet.
The Times editorial says: at would have been
more satisfactory if the matter had been probed
to the bottom" The Post says: ITO the nom
legal mind 1t will seem a most lame and impo-
tent conclusion" The Morning Advertiser, the
licensed victuallers' organ, says: "Dilke may
fairly claim to have won the rubber, but how
many by tricks, how few by honors?" The
Pail Mall Gazette says: "Public duty compels us
TO say that Dixie has not fulfilled the promise
he made voluntarily to the liberals of Chelsea
that he would make a detailed reply, begging
not to be condem ned unheard." The provincial
press presents a sad spectacle of entirely party
treatment of affairs L will only add my per
sOnal opinion that the trial leaves Dixie in
almost as bad a position as a man possibly can
be in. Conversation with many represen tative
people, liberals as well as tories, shows a gen.
eral feeling of intense Indignation against
Duke and the conviction that he is ruined. As
TO a seat in the cabinet, that is utterly absurd.
understand he is going abroad tor six months.

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. lathe Payne investi-
eating committee had large number OF wit
nesses before 1t yesterday, and remained In
session until dark last night Col. Donavin
was before the committee, but only submitted
portion Of his evidence. The most damaging
testimony was that OF ex-Representative Igna-
thus kahle, of Ottawa, Putnam county, who
states that he testified under oath that he was
approached by Senator Ramey, and was offered
$4,000 to support Mr.. Payne. Mr.. kahle was
an ardent supporter of Senator Pendleton and
refused to negotiate. 1t appears that Senators
Ramey and McClyman had charge of the Payne
interests in northwestern Ohio. Neither one
was returned 10 the senate. 1t is understood
that Senator Ramey claims that his PROPOSE
ton to kahle was in the nature of a joke but
that gentleman ridicules the idea, as the cleo
ton of Mr.. Payne was in no way assured at the
time the bid was made.
