everything that had occurred since the rejection OF
The Home Rule bill confirmed the soundncss OF inc
judgment which had inspired the action OF the Union
lists. The policy OF their opponents, he declared ha'
shown itself to DO and more based on disorder
and lawlcssness The events of the last session Oh
Parliament had proved that the Unionist alliance was
capable Of providing the country with a legislative
policy which of a distinctly popular and practical
character AS long the Unlonists continued their
duty of repressng crime, while seeking to satisfy tho
legislative wants OF the people, the party would resist
the attacks OF the enemies Of England and Ireland.
Tho conference adopted resolutions approving tho
policy Of the Government and affirming the necessity
OF improved organization of the party.
Mr.. Chamberlain, in address to the Conference,
said he believed that the healing OF the rupture In
the Liberal party improbable, and almost I'm
possible. The Gladstonians carefully avoided put
ting a programme before the country, because they
did not know themselves what the unstable politician
who leading them might next propose Tho
speaker defended the action Of the Irish Executives,
claiming that the course pursued had been strictly
In accordance with Parliamentary legislation. Ho
denied that cvictlons were unfair They might fail
haIshl. u.On the victims of the Plan OF Campaign,
of social order II people were allowed To der! the
law with impunity and cvctions were stopped on
account of the threats of members OF the Nalonai
League. The Unonists would continue In the Ok
ercsc OF their plain duty Of protecting the minority
in Ireland and preserving intact the faith hohor
and integrity of the country.

London Sept. 19.-The Queen has sent a message
of coincidence to Walter artclot the father Of Major

500 mon and had brought only 400, and that nc
showed decided distastc for the affair and adopted
tactics to delay the starting OF the expedition par
ticularly insisting upon tightening the loads OF the
carriers especially of ammunition. Tho loss CT
stores resulting from Tippoo's action and
from the fact that only half the cx-
pected number of carriers were supplied was most
serious Major Earttclot spoke we'll of all the Euro.
mean officers concerned. Tippo Tib had furnished
an influential headman for the expedition, 10 whom
Earttclot appeared to have confidence. Inc e"peu-
ton was largely composed of MaDyernas.

NATIONAL AID FOR THE SUFFERERS
THE SENATE VOTES 100000 FOR TIE RELIEF OF

THE SENATE VOTES 500 900 FOR TIE RELIEF OF
YELLOW FEVER VICTIMS
Washington, Sept 19-In the Senate to-day MI
Edmunds offered a joint resolution appropra'inG
100000 to be expended under the direction OF the
President of the United In the relief of the su
fcring caused by yellow fever now prevailing In the
State of Florida and asked for its immediate consdera
tion. 1t was obvious, he said. from the public re-
ports about which there could be doubt that that
most dangerous and fatal plague was rapidly extending
moi only In the stricken State of Florida, but In ADA
cent States and that vast amount OF suffering was
being caused thereby. The appropriation for the re-
strant and quarantine OF the disease could not be
used in aid of the sufferers. lie thought therefore,
that while the citizens of the United States were con-
trbuting out of their private means as literally as
they might in aid of these stricken people, the whole
people of tho United States ought dor the sake of hui
manlty and the public good to contribute out OF The
Treasury of the United States 10 aid not only the SICK
but those who have left their homes and TO help those
communities in their dreadful distress 1t was not
within the competency of the Legislature Of Florida
10 meet and provide for the exigency. Under such
conditions he knew of no better use TO make OF
a part of the public money than TO make this contr
bton 10 be expended under the direction Oh the fes
dent of the United States Immediately. .

be confined Florida while the disease was spreading
