THE COMMISSION.
The Government DiSpOSes Of All Amend
mentS Not Agreeable.
Parnellites Leave the House When the
Final Clause is Read.

LONDON, Aug. 2.
In the House of Commons tonight McCar-
thy moved an amendment to extend the in
quiry of the commission to the circumstances
under which the charges were originally
made and published by the Times. Consid-
erable discussion was INDUCED in pro and
con, as to the admission of letters, and the
amendment was defeated by vote of 1862 to
1873.
Labouehere moved that the letters be in
quired into and reported on before other
matters. He didn't think any member of the
of the government was so vile and base to
refuse this reasonable concession, if the gov
ernment refused to recommend Parnell to
sue the Times. Treyelyan and Sexton sup
ported the amendment. Labouchere's amend.
ment was defeated. Healey moved to add a
proviso to the effect that the committee
should make a separate report in regard to
the charges against each individual member
where the decisions are adverse.
Healey's amendment was DEBATED. The
Parnellites having left the house the chair
man put the remaining clauses, which wert
carried without division. The report of tn.

reduction of the resenue by the abolition o,
the tax on tobacco Notwithstanding thai
fact the gentlemen on the other side had
sought 10 obtain recognition for the passage
of the bill repeating the tax. No recogni-
ton had been given for a yearof that
which could have beendone, that the increas
ing surplus could be used as a lever to secure
the overthrow of the doctrine of protee-
ton. The republican side was ready
from the beginning to give their votes
for the passage of bill reducing the reve-
nue., which would protect the industries of
the country. The Senate would send such q
bill TO the House, and il would be seen if the
gentlemen en- the other side would be as
ready to reduce the revenue when the indus
tries were to be protected, as when they were
TO be destroyed.
Bynum of Indiana said that when the Mills
bill was considered in committee, the gen
tleman from Pennsylvania, (Kelly) moved
to repeal the entire tobacco tax. Kelly and
Reed voted in the affirmative and Mckinley
Browne and Burrows voted against it. This
showed that the majority of the republicans,
as represented on the committee, were not in
favor of the repeal of the tobacco tax.
Dingley declared that if the tobacco pro-
vision of the Mills bill had been put into q
separate bill, it could have been passed any
time.
Pending further debate the committee rose
and thedaouse adjourned.

A Love Lorn Person About to Jump
From/the Gardiner Bridge.


Special to the Kennebec Journal.
GARDINER, Aug. 2.
This afternoon while City Marshal Norton
was making his usual rounds, his attention
was attracted by the strange appearance of a
man, apparently in great mental agony, who
was on the draw of the Gardiner and Ran
dolph bridge. and just about to jump from
the rail into the river. Seeing that he was
watched the man quickly changed his posi-
ton, and advancing toward the Marshal said
that he wanted to deliver himself
up. The stranger then walked along with
the officer 10 police headquarters where he
told the following story;
He said that his name was W. N. Wilson
and that his home was in St. Andrews, N.
Brunswick. When he left there
or how he came he could not tell, although
it is generally thought that he came on the
Star, as he was noticed on the street here
Wednesday, or a man answering his descrip'
ton. His statement is that he has been
crossed in love, and has no desire to live or
To see MS home again he says tnat hau the
marshal not seen him just as he did he
should in two seconds have jumped of into
the water. He begged the officer to put him
in the lookup and keep him where he would
do no violence TO himself or others. He told
Chief Norton that the night previous he
stayed at the johnson House, but his name
does not appear upon the register, although
he was seen ut the house in the evening
asleep on a sofa in the Office. The man
does not appear like an insane person, but
there is something of a mystery attending
him, his sudden appearance here and the
story he tells. He is in the lookup tonight
aud the police are awaiting further develop
ments tomorrow morning.

House..

The House proceeded to the consideration
of the Senate amendments 10 the army appro-
priation bill and they were honoured in and
conference ordered
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the deficiency appropriation
bill,
In speaking6 6of the formal amendment,
Hovey of Indiana, replied to the speech pub
lshed in the Record of last Sunday purport-
ing to have been delivered in the House on
the preceding Saturday, by Watson of Indi-
ana, on the subject of pensions. In that
speech the gentleman labored to show that
the democratic party was and had been the
friend of ex-soldiers. Hovey eontradicted
this and said that every intelligent man knew
that the democratic party, from the Presi-
dent down, was strongly opposed to all pen
sion legislation. He analyzed several of the
Presidents vetoes to substantiate his decla-
ration.
Holman of Indiana, remarked that the re-
publican party for twel4y years had granted
lands to corporations and refused to grant it
to soldiers.
Mckinney of New Hampshire, said that
during the three years of the present admin
istration Union soldiers had received greater
consideration than in like period during the
intelligent man knew that to be true
During.three years of the democratic admins
| tration these claims numbered 359, 1924. The
republican administration in three years
| disbursed slS3 ,399, 200; the democratic ad-
| ministration, S2l9, ,399 900. This did not
! indicate that the soldiers had suffered much
under democratic administration. Cieve-
land during his administration has signed
| l264 private bills against 1924 signed by all
of the republican presidents from Lincoln to
Arthur. The President has signed bills
carrying general pension legislation which
applied 10 l44 $50 pensions, and had vetoed
only the dependent pension bill and in that
was sustained by the soldiers themselves
Mckinney contrasted President Grants ad-
ministration with that of President Cleveland
instancing vetoes by the former which were
precedents for those written by Cleveland
The consideration of the bill was ther
resumed and for some time ran smoothly

He Amt in Town.

That they think there was a rumor that Stain
was out of town, and this testimony the
counsel claimed is not admissible, and If it
is, has no force whatever. One of the many
peculiarities about this remarkable case is,
said Barker, that according to Charles +.
Stain, one, Billy Scott, was with his father and
Cromw ell on these trips. But all these wit
nesses who identify Stain and Cromwell as
having called on them, and whom they carried
at different times about the country, made no
mention of third party, and yet every time
Charles Stain sees them Billy Scott is with
them. Billy Scott is a myth, creation of
Charles +. Stain. Even the main govern
ment witness, John Harvey, says he never
knew such person, and does not believe he
ever existed. Mr.. Barker closed at 8 p. NJ
and the court adjourned and went into con-
sultation.
Attorney General Baker will begin his ar
guri,ent at the coming in of the court tomor-
row morning, at 9 O'Clock.

Law COURT.
The Hearing in the Case OF Stain and
Cromwell

| PORTLAND, Me-, Aug. 2.
The hearing on the motion to grant a new
trial in the Stain and Cromwell case, began
before the law court this morning. P. II
Gillen, Esq, reviewed in an able speech the
evidence at the old trial, and Hon. L. A.
Barker brought to the attention of the court
the points in the newly discovered evidence.
The most important points in the new evil
dence is the deposition of Philo S. Filter,
of Virginia, the inventor of the lock which is
used on the Savings Bank door, in which he
declares that no skeleton keys can unlock the
door, and no impression in wax can be OBJ
tanned except by getting possession of a key.
and cannot be made from the lock.
The discovery of b. c. Sanborn, the own
er of the horse brought to Maine on the
steamer Star of the East in November, 1877,
on which, according TO Mr.. Barker, the case
hinged in the original trial, was dwelt upon.
The story of Charles F. Stain is discredited
by proving his Whereabouts during the entire
year of 1877, and it is shown that the letter
received when young Stain was at Carney's
was from pal, and that Stain was then hid
ing from the officers. The counsel for the
defendants claim that the case is governed
by section 81 of chapter l34 of the revised
statutes. which provides that ''if motion for
a new trial in can;tal case is denied by the
justice before whom the same is heard, the
raepnpIapt apnaoi sail tani sion
to the next law term for such district;
and the concurrence of but three JUS
tees shall be necessary to grant such
notion" On the other hand it il claimed
that when the legislature abolished capital
punishment this section of the statute fell
with it that the case cannot come under this
provision because this is not capital case
and therefore the law court has no jursdic-
ton, but that it should be argued before and
decided by the judge who tried the case, as
are all other criminal cases under our law.
If the court shall decide that the law court
has jurisdiction, and three justices can grant
a new trial, the case will be passed upon by
the six justices composing the court for this
district but if they decide that this statute
does not apply then it will be regarded as
having been argued before Chief Justice Pc
ters alone, who tried the case, and he will
pass upon the motion.
Mr.. Barker in his argument stated that
since the trial the def ense has procured the
testimony of several witnesses who corrob-
crate David Stains story that he was there
when the Hammond horse was stolen and by |
other testimony its proved that the horse was
stolen on the morning of February 22, 1873, |
the day of the Dexter robbery. To rebut
this, says Mr. Barker, all the government
have are the depositons of four persons, two
of whom have grudges against Stain, who
say that at the time Hammond's horse was
stolen, it was said "You can't lay this to
Dave Stain, because
