Gladstone's Amendment Rejected.

LONDON, March 10.-In the Commons to-
night the debate on the Parnell commission
report was resumed, and Sexton protested
against placing on record the commissions
perverted views of the evidence submitted
to them. In the course of his speech he
said he had letter marked ''private" from
Lord Salisbury to Pigott
Balfour declared that viler calumny
was never uttered thar in the insinuation
that Lord Salisbury was connected with
the forgeries. He had the prime minister's
authority to challenge Sexton to publish
the letter, and dared him to read it.
Sexton retorted that he was ready to
submit the letter and others with it to a
committee Of inquiry.
Balfour, continuing, denied that the GOV
eminent assisted the Times to procure evil
dence in America. He accused the Parnell-
ties of Withholding from the commission
every source of authentic evidence. The
government made no charges against the
Parnellites aud he failed to see why the
government ought to apologize. Parnell
himself was largely responsible for the eff
feet of the publications, because had the
Parhellites adequately denounced the Phe-
nix park murders, nobody would have dis
credited the leaders. He concluded with
a general attack on the Parnellites.
Dir Wlllam vernon harcourU maln-
tanned that the forged letters helped the
government to pass the crimes act. The
country had become weary of the debate
because 1t regarded the governments ac-
ton against the acquitted men as vindic-
tive. After denying the authority of the
judges on political questions, he asked
what the government hoped to reach from
this shabby persecution. At the conclu
sion of the debate Gladstone's amendment
was rejected 800 to 326. jennings amend
ments will be taken up tomorrow.

NEW YORK, March 10.-A letter from
Havana says there can be no question that
1t is the earnest wish of Cube to be free
from the CALLING yoke of Spain. The as
plrations for freedom all centre in annexa-
ton to the United States. The word is on
every tongue, the subject of conversation
everywhere, not secretly and in whispers,
put openly and at social gatherings, in the
streets, clubs and cafes. The Liberal press
has taken it up and there have been quite
a number of articles in their columns dur
ing the last six weeks, the burden of whose
song was annexation to America. 1t is
probable that these annexation articles
Will soon be stopped; indeed it is a matter
of surprise that they have been permitted
to appear at all. The storm is gathering
here, but 1T will not break unless the Cub
ans are promised the active help of the
United States. This is what they are hop
ing and signing for The Cubans have

entire possession of every branch of the

composed of $4,000 men. Outside of Ha-
vana there is no mixing socially between
the SpaniardS and the Cubans At the
balls of the carnival season, at which sew
eral hundred people may be present, there
may not be one Spaniard, and vice versa.
Slngularly enough, the Spanish planters
are as one with the Cubans in their desire
to see the island United States property,
because they see their best interests would
be thus subserved, and under the present
government ruin is always at their doors.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 10.-[Spe cial
telegram to THE HERALD. THE Senate
passed the Salt Lake public building bill
to-day with its original appropriation of
S500,0O0 The credit for this unexpected
victory belongs to Senator Paddock, of
Nebraska, who has from the beginning
been the firm and consistent friend of the
measure. After the debate on Friday Of
last week, Senator Plumb insisted that
$780, 900 was ample for the SITE Paddock
satisfied the Kansas Senator that he had
done the city of Salt Lake an injustice;
that it has twice the population of Helena,
to which city a 100000 appro-
priation will be given, and that
nothing less than S5O0,O would be suf-
ficient. Mr. Paddock argued so well that

The fight will now be transferred to the
House where the petty economists in both
parties will use their best endeavors to

two hundred thousand dollars. During
the debate in the Senate Friday, Mr.
Plumb, who is a blunt outspoken and

a pleasant reference to Salt Lake by say
ing: salt Lake is a beautiful place, and

The Dntv ON Hons.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The ways and
means committee heard further arguments
upon the proposition to increase the duty
on hops. Representative Hermann, OF
Oregon, denied the statement which he
said had been made that the people of the
Pacific slope did not desire an increase of
the duty on hops. Chinese labor was be-
coming very scarce and dear; Indians
could no longer be had; and was increas-
ing in value All these things meant in
creased cost of production of hops. At
present the actual cost of growing them on
the Pacific coast was from to 10 cents a
pound.
Representative Butterworth argued in
opposition to an increase of duty. He
affirmed his protection principles, but held
this was case where an increase of duty
did not mean added protection. New York
state was in the position of northern Ohio
in that she was trying with worn out lands
unsuited climatlcaily to compete with the
fertile and productive west. One section
of the country could not be protected
against another by any such device as an
increase OF duty.

Under the Gnillnfina

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, March "a Morning Journal
Paris special says: All Paris was thrilled
to-day by the horrible realistic details, in
the papers, of the execution of two young
criminals, aged eighteen and twenty re
spectively, for the brutal murder of a con-
cierge, an old woman of seventy, few
months ago. 1t is long since Paris had the
spectacle of double execution, and there
was a vast crowd on the gloomy Place de
la Roquette, in front of the old prison, all
Friday night, trying to catch sight of the
executioner when he came forth from the
gates to set up tie guillotine.
Many fashionable folks here are super
stitious, and some of them are not above
the wish to test the old belief, that if one
can touch an executioner he is henceforth
secure from all harm. It is said that some
persons solicited the favor of standing
within the square of troops close to
the guillotine, so as to have a better
chance of the coveted contact with M. De
PART. When these people found their ex-
pectaUions would be vain, they went away
without even trying to see the execution.
There were the usual abominable scenes
among the crowd Of thieves and others
about La Roquette at the execution. The
young criminals died game, and the horror
of the affair concentrated upon the long
waits which were taken from the toilet
room of the prison to the scaffold.

Am Exciting Time in wall Street.

New YORK, March 10.-The most excit-
ing incident in Wall street for some time
occurred today when the big New York
and Philadelphia pool in Reading sprung a
corner on the shorts and compelled them to
pay per cent. for the use of the stock for
one day. The pool, which had its head
quarters in Wormser's office, is said to
have been dissatisfied with the results of
its. operations last week. and after
a disagreement to-day suddenly trans.
ferred it accounts from Wormser's
to Moore & Schley. Then they notified
Wormser's to deliver all pool stock to
Moore 81 Scdley. AT the same time Moore
& Schley and all the other firms associated
with the pool called in all the stock loaned
them and as result Wornsers, who were
said to need $4,000 shares of the stock to
deliver to the pool in addition to being
short as much more on their own account,
had to climb with the bear traders and the
clique that had put out short lines. None
of the interested parties would make a

bill which will be presented to the full
committee as soon as the chairman can call

an amendment will be added providing
that the commissioners be divided equally

given satisfactory assurance of their abil
ity to supply another 100000 if needed.

The North Dakota Lottery.

ST. PAUL, March 10.-Tne North Dakota
legislature few days ago appointed seed
wheat commission, some of the members of
which are acknowledged leaders in the lot
terry scheme, and the opponents of that
scheme at once expressed fear that through
the necessities of their constituents some
of the anti-lottery members would
be won over to the commission. The
Pioneer Press special tonight says
there is the best of reason for
believing the lottery bill will be taken
from the table tomorrow or Wednesday,
in order to get a test vote on it. AS it re-
quires a two-thirds vote to take it from the
table, that, if secured, would be enough to
pass it over veto. If the motion carries.
q new bill will be introduced making the
tribute annually 100000 instead of S75, 0O0,
while the price of the charter will be raised
from $25, 600 to $4,000 and s2l, 900 to be
paid at once into the state treasury. Tie
seed wheat question will be used with
powerful effect.
