DENOUNCED THE PRINCE.

A Liverpool Clergyman Gives His Views on
Gambling and Its Patrons.
IBY DUNLAP's CABLE coMPANYL
LIVERPOOL, April 10.-Great excitement
has been caused in Nonconformist circles
here, and among the public generally, by
another clerical attack upon the Prince of
Wales. 1t appears that at the annual meet
ing OF the local Temperance Union held at
Bolton, IL miles from Manchester. the Rev.
c. Akin, who presides over the leading
Nouconformist chapel in this town, took oc-
casioI to describe the immortality prevail
ing in Liverpool. After dwelling at sorle
length upon the prevalence of gambling and
betting dens, he grew excited, and, shaking
his fist, said:
The courtier of King Cambyses, the son of
Cyrus, once ventured to reprove that monarch.
and wish that some one had the power to go
and tell that Prince of ours what wrong he IS
Wales who associates with divorced Duke,
Marquis ruled off the turf for pulling his
horses. and baccarat Baroness. that when he
sets the weight of his great position on the SIDE
of the cutthroats of the turf and against the
Church and Sunday school. whether he be the
Prince of Wales or the prince oranywhere else,
he is not the man to reign over US. (Wild en-
thusiasm.1
But the cheers that greeted these utter
ances at Bolton found no echo in Liverpool,
which is noted ior the strongly conservative
sentiments of its electors. Indeed, his own
congregation have rebelled against their
pastor. and are now circulating petition
asking him to resign. The reverend gentle'
man, however, says that he will neither re-
sign nor temporize with HIS opponents, but
will defend his action and prove his ailega-
tons from the pulpit, if forced to do so.

SEEING FITZsIMMONs' PRESENTS,

Authorities Collecting the Jewelry Given
Away by Gilkinson's Slayer.
County Detective Beltzhoover Yesterday
received letter from the customs officials
of Canada. stating that they had gathered
up number of valuable gold watches that
had been presented by Murderer FitzsimI
mons to his friends there, and which he had
smuggled over the border without paying
the duty.
These are a part of the goods stolen from
John Schmidt, the Homestead jeweler.
When the yalise containing a quantity Of
the stolen goods was found in a stump near
FiIzsimmons' house the day after the mur-
der, it was found that all the most valuable
gold watches had been disposed of, and
only the cheaper ones remained. Then
1t was learned that Fitzsimmons
had been to Canada, where he had presented
watches to various lady and other friends,
whom he informed that he was a jeweler in
Pittsburg. The publication of this informa-
tion came to the knowledge of the Canadian
customs authorities, who at once started to
gather up the presents and seized them.
Steps will be taken at once to secure the
watches from the Canadians, but how it is
to be done Mr.. Beltzhoover has not found
out.
In connection with the Fitzsimmons case
Inspector McAleese yesterday received a
telegram from Mrs. Anna High, of MiIlyale
borough, who stated that her house mad
been burglarized last October and one Of
the burglars Tailed exactly with the pub
lished description OF Fitzsimmons, members
of her family having seen one of the men as
he let the house. The letter described some
of the jewelry stolen from the writer's house.
The Inspector turned the letter over to De-
tective Beltzhoover, who will investigate.

KNOCKED IT OUT.
The Anti-Discrimination Bill Is Given the
Cold Shoulder.

The Anti-Discrimination Bill Is Given the
Cold Shoulder.
IRON A STAFF CORRESPONDENT .
HARRISBURG, April 0.-Representative
Seanor, OF Indiana, was prevented from
offering his resolution to place the anti
discrimination bill on the calendar by the
time consumed in reporting the appropria-
ton bills. The reporting of nearly hundred
bills would necessarily have consumed con-
siderable time, but as the enemies of anti
discrimination were not going to take any
chances of it getting start, they presented
their reports with marked deliberation.
Representative Fow was very careful not to
agitate himself while he was reporting the
bills which had been assigned to him. He
read the titles very slowly, and he had a
number of good imitators. This business
served to crowd out the obnoxious pro oposi-
tion.
Resolutions to place on the calendar neg
atlved bills to prohibit the employment of
armed police (meaning Pinkerton men), to
abolish railroad relief associations, and to
compel railroad companies to use safety
couplers on cars, were also ready to be pre-
sented. Representative Baker would have
resumed his fight to have special order
fixed for the consideration OF his ballot reform
bill if the opportunity had been afforded.
The bill is on third reading, and as there is
but one dav a week devoted to the consider
alton of bills that have reached this stage,
the disposition of the measure next week is
doubtful.

Senate Amendments Not Satisfactory to the
House-The Lengthy Defense of Beav er
in the Preamble Disagreed to by a
Large Majority.
lFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG. April 10.-The Kemble
REIN mbursement bill struck an unexpected
snag to-day in the House, which before pass
ing it finally struck out the long preamble
that gave the history which led up to the
negotiation of the loan and defended Gov
ernor Beavers course in borrowing S400, 900
because of the alleged impossibility of call
ing the Legislature together in a special
session. The Senate took kindly to the argu-
ment made in the preamble for the passage
of the reimbursement bill, and reinserted it,
which change required the measure to be
returned to the House.
When the Speaker announced to-day that
it was in order to proceed to the considera-
ton of the amendments of the Senate, Rep
resentative Fow said the retention of the
preamble would uselessly cucumber the
statute books. Everybody was familiar with
the great calamity set forth in it. I'VE also
know" said Mr.. Fow, that notwithstand-
ing the unconstitutional feature of this bill,
the exigencies of the case demanded we
should meet the wants and necessities of
these people made destitute by an act of
Providence.
Representative Ritter, of Philadelphia,
said the facts were in direct contradiction OF
some statements made in the preamble.
"When it states, and In solemn language,
that there was not sufficient time for the
calling of the Legislature together" said
Mr.. Ritter sit states what is absolutely
without foundation in fact. This Legis-
lature could have been called together and
adjourned in ten days and all necessary
legislation accomplished. There would not
have been necessary under those circum-
stances this wrench to the Constitution. By
this assertion the oral 'integrity OF the
amendment is destroyed, and makes every
one falsify himself ii he votes for the amend
ment inserted by the Senate
Mr.. Ritter was about demonstrating the
truth of his declaration when the Speaker
ruled that the vote on the amendments
would have to be taken without debate.
After little parliamentary sparring, the
House, by vote OF 119 nays to 81 yeas,
refused to concur iu the Senate amend
ments.

Is Voted Down.

One of the Amendments by MIR. Labouchere
Is Voted Down.
LONDON, April 1O-In the House of
Commons to-day, in the Committee on the
Irish Land Bill, on the clause proposing the
advances of money be made by the issue of
guaranteed land stock equal in nominal
amount to the advance, Henry La
bouehere said in substance that, allow
ing $50, 900, 600 would amply cover the land
purchase, why ought State aid to be re-
stricted to agriculture? There were plenty
OF people outside of the agricultural classes
who would very much like to obtain aid
from the State upon terms similar to those
upon which it was proposed to grant aid to
the Irish agriculturists. Many manu-
facturers, Mr.. Labouchere claimed, would
like to get loan of capital at
the rate of 224 per cent if they were
allowed 40 years in which to repay
such a loan. 1.-THE Irish members who sup
ported the present Irish land bill" said
Mr.. Labouchere, would be selling their
birthright if the land became mortgaged to
England. Such a state of affairs would seri-
ously interfere with the prospects OF home
rule
Mr. Balfour said that whatever the honor
able members might think of the present
land Dill as a solution of the Irish land
question, they must admit the financial
soundness OF the plan. Timothy Healy,
Ar'hur O'Connor and others spoke upon the
same subject, when Mr.. Balfour moved
closure, which was carried by vote of 216
to I2'. Mr.. Labouchere's motion to omit
the word Guaranteed from the phrase,
by the issue of guaranteed land stock"
was rejected by vote of 232 to 1873.

Miss Frances Willard Talks About the Two
Sisters.
CHICAGO, April 10.-'I really do not
know what to make of the report in regard
to the incarceration of Anna Dickinson" 4"
said Miss Frances E. Willard, Presi-
dent of the Worlds Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, to-day.
"I have no authoritative information upon
which to base hypothesis, continued Miss
Willard, "and I was never in my life more
,astonished than when read the statement.
What I do know is that 1 have been ac-
quainted with Susan E. DlckInsoQ, Anna's
sister, for the last 10 years, and that to my
knowledge she has been q most generous,
faithful and also beloved sister. There were
the most cordial and loving relations be-
tween the two sisters"
Miss Willard expressed it as her opinion
that the hardships and overwork to which
Anna Dickinson subjected herself for many
years and her resultant ilI-health for some
time past, would very naturally result in
condition that would produce all sorts of
hallucinations. And that without know
ing anything about it, Miss Willard
thought, Anna Dickinson, while appearing
quite sane, was the victim of utterly base
less delusions.

Hazelwood, BeneviIle and Mt. Washington
Disturbed by Thieves.
There are some accomplished burglars at
work in various sections of the city. On
Monday night last entrance to the house of
L. Beinnauer, on Mt. Washington, was OBJ.
tained by boring out the locks on the back
doors, and so neatly as to give the impress
sion that old hands were engaged upon the
job. The inmates were awakened and scared
the thieves before anything was removed.
The house adjoining was also entered, and
here a watch and quantity of jeweiry were
stolen. The police have no clew to the
men.
A gang OF thieves has made number. of
attempts to burglarize houses in the neigh
borhood OF Bellefield and Hazelwood during
the last few nights. Efforts were made last
night to enter the houses of Edward Krebbs
and j. w. Maeder, on Neville street. but the
occupants awakened and frightened the
thieves away.
Tine residences of William Houston and
j. C.Parkinson, at Hazelwood, were entered
night before last, but nothing was taken.
The only report the police at the Nine
teenth ward station have as regards the
highway robbery which occurred on Re.
becca street Thursday night, is from W. G.
McGeary, Inspector OF Highways under
Superintendent Paisley of the East End,
who said he lost pocketbook containing
$40 and a number Of valuable papers. He
thinks he was either robbed or it was lost in
the train between Torrance and East Lib
erty station Thursday evening.

THEIR NEWEST SCHEME.
A TRUNK LINE AND MANY BRANCHES
In KANSAS

Proposed by the Kansas Farmers Alliance
to Be Built by the State-What Railroad
Men Think of the PIan-Impracticala and
Visionary.
KANSAS CITY, April 1O.-Since the
Farmers Alliance has taken hold of affairs
in Kansas many surprising things have
been done, but the most unique and daring
plan that has yet been evolved by that body
is a reported scheme to build trunk rail-
road line across the State. It is expected
that this proposition will be made the issue
of the next political fight in Kansas by the
Alliance.
The plan is for the State Government to
construct trunk line about 250 or 300 miles
in length, and for the counties to build
net work of branches that will touch every
important point in the State. 1t is said
that the right of way privileges would be
donated in every instance.
Frank McGrath, President of the Kansas
Alliance. was in the city to-day. When
asked about the plan he was very reticent,
but admitted that such scheme was under
consideration by the Alliance. Several rail-
way men were interviewed concerning the
Farmers scheme. +. G. Gay, General
Freight Agent of the Santa Fe road, said:
1.-THE State would have to guarantee
the payment for the first four or five years
interest on bonds of this kind, for the reason
that the railroad companies would make
determined fight, and no road in the State
would make any money, for the reason that
rates would be cut to the lowest possible
notch. In the end. though, the companies
would be bankrupted and driven out of the
field"
Mr.. Gay did not believe the plan would
ever be consummated, and all the other
railroad men regarded it as wholly imprac-
ticable and visionary.
