BALFOUR'S BILL.
The Measure Secures a Majority OF

bate yesterday in the house of commons was

acteristic speech, we'll interspersed with fouts

protest against the bill. Harrington was mod
crate, earnest and judicious, as he always is.
Morley summed up, in mastery manner and
with much literary grace, as we'll as oratorical
force, the main points against the bill
Mr.. Mccartney, speaking from thu minis
terial side. declared that the bill would ruin
all landlords with incomes below Is, 600 a year.
He spoke of 1t as involving a scheme of scien-
tific speculation. Sexton declared that the
tenants did not want the measure and Maeart-
ney alleged that it will destroy the landlords
Has the bill any friends at all outside the Irish
office?
Although Parnelrs alternative scheme was
frequently referred to, the Irish leader was not
visible. There was strong reinforcement,
however, of the main guard of the nationalists
Dillon. William OBrien, the two Heays, the
two Harringtous and most of the fighting men
were there. Gladstone also was present backed
by his chief supporters.

of so.

M'CALLA'S PROSECUTION ENDED.
A Civil Suit to be Brought Against Him
by Fireman Walker.

Commander McCalls's tribulations are evil
IDENTITY just beginning. When his trouble with
Uncle Sam is settled he will be faced with a
civil suit for damages brought by Fireman
Walker for $4,000. Sergeant of Marines Mon
roe was the first witness called yesterday. He
recited the Walker incident in detail. Judge
Advocate Garst then read some extracts fro m
the log of the Enterprise and announced that
the case for the prosecution was closed Mr.
Menzies then asked that the government be re-
quested to call the officer of the watch during
the Walker episode. Assistant Judge Advocate
Stayton objected, saying the testimony of the
executive officer, who was present at the time.
was all the evidence the prosecution required
on the subject. Mr.. Choate said the question
was one entirely within the jurisdiction of the
court. They produced the officer of the
watch before the court of inquiry. and why
should they not produce him now? Such a
course is entirely Unprecedented" A consul
tation was then held, and Rear Admiral Har-

DIAZ WHIPS A LIAR.
He Thrashes the Author Of Bogus In
terview With Patti.

From London Truth.
Attention was some time ago drawn In this
country to some silly personal attacks made
against Madame Patti in a Mexican paper.
Apropos to these libels Mr.. Ruben, the we'll
known American artists agent, who accompa-
MED Madame Patti to Mexico. has told the
true-and good-story. The libels consisted
in the fact that Madame Patti was accused of
calling Mrs. Diaz, the wife of the Mexican
president, q "washer-woman." The statement
was grotesquely untrue. for Mrs. Diaz is per-
sonal friend of Madame Patti, and the false
hood was presumably only uttered in order to
damage the great master in Mexico. President
Diaz, it seems. settled the matter in his own
fashion. He sent a message asking the editor
of the paper to call upon him. The fattered
Mexican journalist came. and was then invited
to take stroll in the garden. Duly arrived
there the president, removing his coat, gave
the ibeler sound thrashing Of the good old
fashioned sort. So, at any rate, says Mr.. Ruben,
and if he speaks truly congratulate President

But il is not alone in numbers that the great
increase of advertising is shown. The larger
space required for advertisements during the
year 1889 as compared with that occupied in
1855 is even more striking.
The average daily space filed by advertise
ments in 1888 was q. 10 columns, or 7779 columns
for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily
average was 1915 columns, or s22S columns in

tute day work for all laborers, workmen and
