LONDON CABLINGS.
GIadstone's Admonition to the Working
Class-A Reception to Stanley.

LONDON, May 2.-Gladstone has
written letter in which he exhorts the
working class to consider closely their
present position. He says: "There
may come time when labor
will prove too strong for capital,
and may use it's strength unjustly, but
capital will surely hold its own" In
conclusion, he expresses wish to see
labor and art allied with the view OF
alleviating and adorning the life of men.
In the Commons, this evening, Cam
eron moved the disendowment of the
Church of Scotland. 1t was rejected
after considerable debate, in which
Gladstone and Harrington took part.
The Emin relief committee gave re-
ception in honor of Stanley this evening.
The Prince of Wales presided. Among
the guests were many members of
royalty and other distinguished persons.
He paid high tribute to the devotion
and courage of his associates. The
Prince of Wales proposed vote of
thanks to Stanley, which was adopted
by acclamatiOn.

FIVE CENTS.
The Ships Mistake.

PORTLAND, Ore, May 2.-Judge Han
ford, in the United States Circuit Court,
today sustained the demurrer to the
complaint in the suit brought by James
Laidlow & Co. against Collector of Port
Abraham. Several months ago the ship
Laidlow entered the port of San Diego
and paid duty on on her entire
only a part of it there, and came
here to discharge the remainder.
Collector Abraham collected about 500
tonnage tax when the cargo was dis
charged here. Judge Hanford in his
opinion says the ship should pay duty
only on that portion of her cargo dis
charged within any district, therefore
the ship was rightly held to pay tax
here, and it was her own mistake if she
paid in San Diego.

THE GILA MONSTER.
WALTER L. VAIL BITTEN BY ONE
OF THE CREATURES.
He is Suffering Great Pain, but the Ply
sicians Think the Bite Will Not Prove
Fatal.

Tucson, Ariz., May 2.-Walter L.
Vail, of Los Angeles, was today, near
Pantano, bitten by Gila monster, on
the middle right finger. Vail was
brought here, and is suffering great pain.
His tongue is so swollen that he cannot
articulate. The physicians say he is in
a very precarious condition, though they
think the bite will not prove fatal.
All the deaths so far reported from the
bite OF the Gila monster are said to have
been of incorporate persons. Vail is
not addicted to the use of spirits, and
the absence of alcohol will enable the
physicians to determine the full effect of
the poison.

The Irrigation Subject.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The Senate COM
mittee on the irrigation of arid lands

completion.

THE EVANGELICAL WAR.
The Oregon Conference Splits on the
Bowman Matter.

Bowman Matter.
ALBANY, Ore, May AT the session
of the Oregon conference of the Evan
gelical church, this morning, a row oc-
Cured, which resulted in a division of
the body into two opposing factions.
Bishop Bowman, recently suspended at
Chicago, and his followers attempted to
open the conference. A physical en-
counter ensued, both sides endeavoring
to gain the presiding officers chair.
Finally the anti-Bowman faction with
drew with the books and funds of the
treasury to the M. E. church, South, and
held a conference of their own, eleeting
j. Bowers chairman. The other faction,
presided over by Bowman, remained in
the Evangelical church, where a session
was held. Each claims to be the Oregon
conference and calls the others seceders.
The Bowman faction this afternoon
adopted resolution asking the others
to return and join them. This, it is an
nounced, will be refused and the fight
will be carried on to the bitter end. 1t
will result in a law suit for the posses
sion of the church property.
