LONDON, July 27.---In the commons to-day
Henry John Atkins, member for Boston,
was expelled for week for charging the
speaker with abuse of power, in placing on
the records that he (Atkins) had frivolouslv
challenged the accuracy of the division,
when the prisons vote was under discus
sion. Parnell claimed that certain convicts
under life sentence, especially John DAILY,
should be granted amnesty or else treated
as political prisoners. Harcourt opposed
any Taxation of sentence upon DAILY, and
John Redmond urged that further inquiry
into Daly's case would prove that the pris-
oner referred to was the victim of con-
sniracy upon the part of Irish police agents:
The home secretary replied, "The alleged
proofs of Innocence have already been ex-
amined and have been found to be inven-

Gam bling Is a Sin.

LONDON, July 27.--The president of the
Wesleyan conference to-day made authori-
tative statement of the views of the church
on recent SOC al scandals. He condemned
the doctrine that while cheating was wrong,
gambling was right. Weslyans, he said,
held that the wrong began with gambling,
either in aristocratic houses or stock ex-
changes, 3#ss- commercial circles The
churches ought to unite and obtain Iegisla-
tion to check the evil. The president also
suggested that among the means to be
taken to prevent gambling, is that of pre-
venting newspapers from printing adver-
bling. In conclusion the president said
that many thousands of Christian voters
had determined at the coming general cleo
tion to put moral questions above party
considerations and would return men free
from moral stain.
