At the close Of the reading, Mr.. Harris sug-

before the Senate and had to become "un-

senator from New Hampshire should fix a
day in the future when it would become a
special order and remain before the Senate

LUXURY OF PROTECTION.
Gladstone Speaks on the Cost Of Gu
New Navy.

! 4NcW navy.
LONDON. Jan. 22.-Mr. Gladstone deliv-
cred an address at Chester tonight. Re-
ferring to the United States and the plans
for an enlarged navy, he said that the
country is still enjoying the blessings and
| comforts Of restricted trade, and, therefore.
would pay forty or fifty per cent more TO
build navy than it would II contented to
! compete on equal terms with other ma
tlons. But its resources are so great
that it can afford to pay for
the luxury OF protection. The worst
was that while America would set England
an example for enlarging her navy, Eng
land Will give similar excuse fer further
naval increase. 1t is a matter of deep
sorrow to reflect that the very ostentatious
addition to the defenses of the country
made under real or pretended necessity is
made an apology for an increase in the
building OF every country under professions
OF an additional security. The policy of
the government thus tended more and
more to jeopardize the peace OF the world.
THE PARNELL COMMISSION.
Mr.. Gladstone said that the country
would be likely soon to hear much about
the Parnell commission. Without antici-
pating the Judgment or breathing word of
suspicion OF tue judges, he would say the
subject must be probed with the deepest
element OF the country and Of parliament,
his opinion was that the cunbrous proceed
lngs constituted case of oppression practiced
upon an individual by the legislative cham
Der aud In the executive government with
out a parallel since the evil reign of
Charles ii.
SCOTLAND CoMMENDED.
He commended Scotland's unvarying SUD-
port Of liberalism. IL Scotland demanded
home rule, neither the Tories nor dis ident
liberals would blow war trumpets against it
in the name either of union or unity of the
empire. Scotland had a good claim to
home rule because the tory majority
assisted a handful Of Scotch to elevate the
Scotch majority. The conflict for home
rule is terrific struggle Of powerful infu-
ence on one side against conviction on the
other side.
TRUSTING THE PEOPLE.
II is the principle of liberalism to trust
the people, qualified by prudence It ia the
p inclple OF tory1sm TO dis;rust the people,
qualified by fear. He was confident of the
ultimate Judgment of the country IL ready
to meet dissolution, but without impatience
for it. Ii was because he felt strongly the
Justice OF the cause, and knew it must tri-
umph.
THE ROW WITH PORTUGAL.
Mr.. Gladstone declined TO critlcise the
oouiso Vi bue aTquls OF SALISBURY Ill the
dispute with Portugal until he was more
fully informed as to the details of the case.
He considered it a duty to avoid .cavilling at
the foreign policy of the Cover ment.
Turkey appeared again as inviting Eng
land to intervene to protect the suffering
population Of Crete and Armenia, but he
warned the sultan that Englands reply
would involve reference TO that mercury Of
justice, the trial of Moussa Bey, and that
reply would be to the effect that he would
not obtain British sympathy in times of
trial and difficulty unless he governed with
humanity and justice.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-By strict party
vote the House elections committee to-day
decided to report in favor of unseatiag Mr..
jackson, the democratic representative
from West Virginia, and declaring Mr..

After talking over the case for q

it would be useless to undertake
to dissect the evidence taken, as several
days would be consumed in the process.
and the members of the committee were
well acquainted with the facts and legal
points involved. There will, Of course, be
two reports, hich it is expected will be
presented to the House tomorrow. Mr..

a BOND CASE IN COURT,
The Right of Citizen to Sue a State
One of the Points Involved.


The Right of a Citizen to Sue a State
One of the Points Involved.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Argument was
begun in the supreme court of the United
States to-day in the case of the state of
North Carolina and W. P. Roberts, auditor,
appellants, VS.. A II. Temple. The case
arises out of a suit brought by Mr.. Temple
to compel the state to pay SO, 900 worth of
special tax bonds issued under the act passed
in 1869, and s., 500 interest money.
1t involves the right of citizen to sue his
state. and comes up from the cirolit court
of the United States for the eastern district
of North Carolina on certificate of divi-
sion OF opinion. In order to float the
bonds. the state provided for the levy of a
special tax to pay the interest ON them, and
statement to this effect was printed on
the sureties. Subsequently law was
enacted, repeating the act directing the levy
of special tax, and suit is brought on the
ground that this repeating act was uncon-
stltutlonal as an impairment of contract.
TEMPLES CLAIM.
1t is contended in behalf of Mr.. Temple
that the federal courts have jurisdiction to
protect the citizens Of state in rights
guaranteed him by the federal constitution
from unconstitutional acts of his state. The
state plants itself firmly on the proposition
that it cannot be sued without its consent,
which has not been given. Ex-Solicitor
General Phillips and E. L. Andrews argued
the case in behalf of Mr.
Temple, and r. Fl. Battle represented
the state. Attorney General Davidson of
North Carolina, will speak for the state to-
morrow. There are several million dollars
involved in the suit, which was to have
been argued at the last term but was post
poned owing to Justice Matthews illness, a
full bench being desired to hear the case as
the court is pretty nearly equally divided
on the issue raised.

STILL STUCK IN THE SNOW.
Three Hundred Men Join the Big Plows
in Their Fight


SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22-It began
showing fiercely again in the Sierra Nevada
mountains this morning. The big snow
plows reinforced by 5000 men continued
their fight to release the imprisoned trains.
and open the roads to traffic. The officials
say that the storm is the worst they have
ever encountered in the Sierras, but express
their ability to break the blockade. and
keep the road open when the blockade
is raised. This afternoon one Of the passen-
ger trains witch had been detained at
Shady Run got down the mountain as far
as Blue Canyon, and rotary plow is work
ing its way toward Alta The belief now is
that the west-bound passenger train at
Emigrant Gap will get through to
Sacramento some time tomorrow. This
will give a clear road west Of Cisco. On
the Oregon and California road very little
progress was made during the day. There
appears to be no prospects that trains will
be running through to Portland before
next Monday.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Up to a late
hour tonight the repu blican members Of
the committee on rules were comforting to-
gether in Speaker Reeds department about
the Reed code. The democrats fear that
the republican delays will hold the rules
back until the principal election cases are
disposed Of on the floor. When they think Of
Speaker Reeds rulings in the election cases
conducted under his idea of general parla-
mentary law they determined to prevent
this by every means in their power This
is why Mr.. Crisp opposed the consideration
of the McKinly bill to-day, so as to keep it
in the way.
Ex-Speaker Carlisle has furnished the
minority report on the Reed code of rules,
and Mr.. Randall and he have signed it. He
hopes to hear the majority port at the

for tomorrow, but, considering the dila-
tory tactics Of the republicans of that COM
mittee rather hopes, than expects it.

N'KINnRY's CUSTOMS BILL.
The Suggestions OF the Home Marke
Club Ignored.

The Suggestions OF the Home Market
Club Ignored.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The republicans
majority Of the ways and means commit
tee, in adopting amendments to the Nc
kinley administrative customs bill to-day,
quietly ignored the suggestions of the
Republican Home Market Club, although
the democratic members of tie COM
mittee strove to perfect the bill
by having them adopted. The only i'm
portant amendment adopted by the COM
mittee was one drawn by Mr.. Mills provid-
ing that imported goods upon which duties
are paid under protest shall be held by the
collector of customs until subsequent litiga-
ton to determine the validity of the DIS
puted duty has been decided.
THE OBJECT.
The object is to diminish the number of
suits which have increased. Mr.. Mills says,
to a scandalous extent, so that there is
reason to suspect bad faith in many cases
where importers having, as in the silk rib
hon case, added the excess Of duties, in the
first place, to the prices paid it again
when the excess of duty was
refunded out of the treasury. On the
amendment the parties in the committee
changed sides, all the republicans, except
Mr.. Mckinley, voting with Mr.. Mills for
it, and all the democrats, except Mr.. Mills,
voting with Mr.. Mckinley against it. The
other democrats thought reduction aud
simplification Of duties the letter way to
accomplish this purpose Mr.. Mills thought
he could not wait for that.
