LONDON, May 10.-An address signed
| by $3.50 dissenting ministers was pre-
sented to Mr.. Gladstone yestesday, ex
pressing their sympathy with him in his
efforts to reconcile England and Ireland
In reply to the address Mr.. Gladstone
said that during the present session the
Parnellites, despite the pressing needs
Of Ireland, had reirained from urging
their claims and had assisted the govern,
ment to- expedite business. Whether OF
not Parliament was employed at this OF
that given time in discussing Ireland, it
was Ireland alone that truly held the
key to the legislation. The Government
knew that the Nation was with Home
Rule and therefore guided the affairs Of
Parliament so as to delay the time when
a minority would be in power pledged
TO propose Home Rule for Ireland. The
majority in the House Of Commons
thought they could go on for five years.
They put this against his life as an old
man, but the life Of an old or young
man would not affect the final settle
ment.
The Standard says that Mr.. Parnell's
disavowal of the plan OF campaign has
offended a section OF his followers.
Earl Spencer, in a speech at Guilford
last night, said he did not know any one
who could take any exception to Mr..
Parnell's programme. The only course
open was to subscribe to its sentiments.

The State Convention Instructs the Dele
gates for Cleveland.
BALTIMORE, May 1O.-The Democratic
State Convention was called to order to-
day at Ford's Opera House by Hon.
Stevenson Archer, Chairman OF the
State Central Committee. Col. II. Kyd
Douglas was unanimously chosen tenn
porary chairman.
Col. Douglas paid a tribute to President
Cleveland. He said that four years ago
Grover Cleveland was an experiment; to-
day his nomination was duty, and
made sure by the sincere affection and
appreciation OF the American people.
A committee was then appointed on
credentials. The entire time OF the COM
mittee thus far has been occupied in the
Anne Arundel contest.
The platform will say that it is fitting
at the close OF the third year Of Presi-
dent Cleveland's term to acknowledge
his services, and claims that an adverse
majority in the Senate has prevented
him from carrying into effect those leg
islative reforms to which he was pledged, +,
and has so earnestly desired to achieve,
but he has made compensation for this
loss by his wise, honest and capable ad-
ministration ofhis duties us President.
Section 2 concludes as follows: 1--WE
declare our preference for Grover Cleve-
land as his own successor in the Office
OF President ofthe United States; and
we instruct the delegates to this Demo-
cratic National Convention at st. Louis
to cast their unanimous vote for him as
the Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency."
Section says the national taxation
ought to be limited to the aggregate an
nual sum needed for the interest on the
public debt, with adequate annual pro.
vision for the payment of the principal
Of that debt at maturity; for the pay.
ment OF pensions granted by the United
States, and to provide the means for all
necessary expenses OF f,an economically
administered government. 1t says the
accumulation yearly Of a large surplusin
the Treasury is proof that the taxing
system.fastened upon the country by the
Republican party requires complete re-
vision, and reailirms the principles con-
tained in the resolutions OF the Demo-
cratic National Convention in 1884,
which indicates how this revision should
be accomplished. The convention de-
mands that such revision be made by
Congress.

Ho Thinks Blaine Out Of the Way and
Sherman the Strongest Man.
WAsnIxGroN, May 1O.-This afternoon
reporter met Senator Quay as he was
leaving the Capital and accosted him
with this inquiry: Senator, since your
election rs delegate to Chicago, there
has been good deal of curiosity in
Pennsylvania as to your presidential
preference. Have you any objection to
crafty this curiosity?"
"Noot at ALL" said he. "If Mr.. Blaine
had remained in the field there would
have been no trouble in securing u
united delegation for him in Pennsyl-
vania. In view, however, OF his Flor
ence letter, / do not believe he will BIO u
candidate, or that he would accept the
nomination. Such being the case,
l think Senator Sherman is the
strongest man whom the Republican
party can present to tho people.
While, however, my personal perier-
ence, in view OF the above facts, is in
the direction indicated, intend to
unite with my friends OF the Pennsyl-
vania delegation in taking such action
rs may seem the most judicious
when the time for the assembling
Of the National Convention shall
arrive, having in view the
best interests Of the party, the State and
the nation. believe that the Pennsyl-
vania delegation, If united, can secure
the nomination OF whomsoeyer they
conclude to support, and that the candl.
date whose nomination they bring about
will be elected in November next"

Zozo " Tonight.

"zozo, the Magic Queen" will be
given at the Opera House this evening.
The Louisville Courier Journal says:
"Zozo" opened to good house at
Nlacauley's last night. 1t is beautiful
spectacle, appealing by oil manner Of de
vices to the eye and throwing in lot Of
music and funny business to put the
audience in good humour TO appreciate
the sights. The scenes are very novel
and are triumph Of art in that line.
The fairy glen, Lorenzo's cavern, Zozos
garden and the great transformation
scene in the last act are marvels OF beauty
and novelty. The girls, next to the
scenery, are the most attractive feature
OF the performance. They are beautiful
and not novel, and so give place to the
scenic effects in point OF precedence.

both Sides Have Round without Any
Result In the Fight.
WASHINGTON, May l0.-The House
after transacting some miscellaneous
business, went into Committee of the
Whole on the tariff bill, with Mr..
spingcr, OF Illinois, in the chair.
Mr.. Turner, Of Georgia, spoke in favor
OF the bill.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, said that it
was admitted that the revenue should
be reduced. Much well founded CONS
plant had been made against the Presi.
dent by his veto OF the dependent PEN
sion bill which had prevented the
distribution of q part OF that revenue
among. the defenders of the Union.
The President had,.. however, signed
the Mexican war pension bill and each
OF those soldiers, rich or poor, had his
name inscribed on the pension roll when
he reached the age Of G2 years, Mr., Can.
non denied that the tariff features would
reduce the revenue one cent, History
showed that as the duties were lowered
the revenues increased. The bill was
subject to criticism for many sins OF
omission and commission. The free
wool clause was one OF the sins OF com
mission. We would destroy our great
wool interests il we placed them in com
petition with the free lands OF Australia
and South America.
Mr.. Wilkinson, Of Louisiana, said,
while the bill had not been framed to
suit his views or those OF his constitu'
ents he would say to the friends Of hon
est reduction in taxation that his people
would not shrink from bearing theil
share in the reduction Of the taxes now
imposed upon the people.
Mr.. Johnston, OF Indiana, asked II the
gentleman was willing to put sugar on
the free list.
Mr.. Wilkinson responded in the mega
tive.
Mr.. johnson asked II it would not be
as Just as the proposition to place WOO
on the free list.
Mr.. Wilkinson replied that he had moi
been heard to advocate free wool. I'm
partial judges had pronounced in favor
OF the sugar tax and against the weo
tax, and these matters he had been will
ing to leaye in great part to the judge:

A CATHEDRAL DESTROYED
In BanalO by tho Explosion of Natural Ga
Other Disasters.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 1O.-To-day was
a decidedly sensational and disastrous
one in Buffalo. Anumber OF explosions
of natural gas occurred almost simulta-
neously, caused as supposed by an over
pressure, and caused widespread excite
ment, besides destroying the first church
in Buffalo and doing other damage.
st. Paurs Cathedral, the pride and
glory Of Buffalo, is in ruins. The entire
interior is burned out, the roof is gone,
but the strong stone walls and graceful
spire remain.
AT 9:20 o'clock flames were seen bursl
ing out Of the fine stained glass windows
OF the church, at the junction OF Main
and Erie streets, and instantly most Of
the interior was mass OF flames. An
explosion had occurred in the basement,
the furnace being supplied with natural
gus, and the force was so great as to tear
off and blow out the heavy doors on the
Erie and Pearl street side.
People ran to see what was the matter
and few entered the vestibule OF the
church only to be driven back by the
flames. An alarm was at once turned
in, to which the fire department quick
ly responded, but when they arrived
nothing could be done to save the inte-
rior Of the stately edifce, as the flames
were bursting from every window.
Streams were quickly brought to bear
with but little effect, and the fire in a
few moments had reached the heavily
timbered roof. In half an hour from
the time OF discoverythe interior OF the
noble church was completely destroyed.
The fire was undoubtedly caused by
