Him with Distrust.

Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Dec. S.-A sensation was created in
parliament yesterday by Bradlaugh's defense
OF the tories, who formerly expelled him from
the house Of commons by physical force. His
attack on prominent labor representatives
because they refused to support the employers
liability bill was fierce and bitter, and vas
greeted with delighted cheers by the minis
terialists. Nevertheless the opposition to the
measure is 30 serious that it certainly will not
be carried this session. One of the most
effective replies to Bradlaugh's attack WAS that
OF Fenwick, one of the most powerful orators
Of the opposition side, who was formerly a
Northumberland collier. For some time past
Bradlaugh has been viewed with distrust by
his radical associates. The oaths bill which
he so warmly defended, is held by them 70 be
completely ruined by his concessions to tory
opinion. and it is well known that Bradlaugh
is opposed to free education

GEoRGErowN, OHIO, Dec. s.-P B. Long has
received White Cap warning addressed to the
citizens of Georgetown. As usual it is writ
ten in red ink, with picture of whips drawn
at the top Of the letter. The warning reads as
follows:

say now that if they do not quit making threats
as to what they will do if we come to your

The letter is d2ted at Mount Oreb, which is
believed to be the center of the White Cap op-
erations, and its signature is similar to that Of
the other letters received here. Ii is believed
this is written because of the recent conference
at Cincinnati, and because of an expressed de-
