NEwFoUNDLAND's COERCION.
Knutsford and Salisbury Speak OF
the Bill

LONDON, April 2I.-Iu moving second
reading of his Newfoundland bill, gensrally y
known as the Newfoundland aud coercion
bill, In tho Houss of Lords to-day, Lord
Knutsford, secretary Of state for colonial
affairs, contended that the bill did not in-
terfere with local questions IN Newfound-
land or with the independence Of the colo
nial legislature. It was a matter Of imperial
obligation that arrangements affecting the
fishing rights az France should he as bind
ing upon the colony as upon the empire
The government, he added, desires to meet
the wishes OF the colonists 80 far IL is con-
sisted with International obligations. II,
before the bill reached the House Of Com
mons the colonial legislature passed an
act which, in the governments opinion, was
sufficient to secure observance OF the modus
vlvendi Of 1891, and to enforce the decis-
ion of the arbitration commission on the
lobster question and in regard to the treaties
existing between England and France, the
government would not proceed with the
bill. But II such an act was not passed by
the colonial legislature, 1t would be neces-
sary to pass the imperial government 8
measure as rapidly as possible.
sALIsBURY's SPEECH.
Lord Salisbury said that Newfoundland
might have had reason to complain IL the
government had attempted to rush the bill
through, but the amplest time had been
given to the Newfoundland legislature TO
act in harmony with tho imperial govern
ment. He hoped the Newfoundland legis-
lature would pass the measures sug-
gested. Then the present bill would
not be- further pursued. The best
and most peaceful settlement would
be for the Newfoundland legislature
thus to take the matter into its own hands.
lie hoped that before long French reluc-
.tance to submit their general rights to arbi-
tration would be overcome and all OF the
difficulties settled which were now imperil-
ing Eugand's relations with her ally and
injuring the industries Of the colonists
whose well-being England valued highly.
The bill passed its second reading without
division

BERLIN. April 27.--The miners of Essen,

ATLANTA, GA. April 27.-A report OF

uers on account Of the observance Of
Memorial day here on Sunday is whispered
about in lively fashion tonight The
Evangelical Ministers Association includes
in its membership the Protestant preachers
generally. without regard to sect To-day
this organization held a meeting. AS soon
as the preliminary details, such as prayer,
reading Of the minutes, etc, had been dis
posed Of and the members got squareiy
down to business, Rev. DR. Cary, minister
in the Holiness branch of the Methodist
church. arose and offered string of reso-
lutions condemnatory of yesterdays parade
and exercises
DRIFT or TIRE RESOLUTIONS.
In substance the resolutions declared that
since the Bible set apart the Sabbath as q
day OF rest, the body of ministers there
gathered felt greatly surprised that it should
have been violated by the tramping OF
horses and the dragging of heavy cannon
that thousands Of people should have par
ticipated In making it a holiday in COM
memoration OF an event, no matter how
| sacred and. above all, that two consscratad
ministers of the gospel should have taken
pare in q demonstration Of such doubtful
proprety. Drs. T. L. Cleveland and J. w.
| Lee wore the preachers who conducted the
exercises. and, therefore, had good reason
TO suppose that the criticism was intended
| for them.
DIR. LEE STIRRED UP.
DR.. Lee took the floor. He has of late in-
sisted upon introducing certain forms Ia tho
service of the Methodist church which are
usually praoticed only in the Episcopal,
and these innovations have apparently not
met with the undivided Endorsement OF his
| ecclesi astoal brethren. Tho views of DIR.
Lee, In fact have not escaped positive op-
position, and he very probably supposed
himself 70 have been personally attacked by
the tenor OF the resolution.
A SINGING REBURB
AS soon as he could make his voice heard
he declared that had he lived in the dark
ages he would not have been surprised by
the language Of the resolutions offered, but
that at this enllghted date they appeared
not only contemptible but absolutely
idiotic. This language, as one might we'll
suppose, produced a great effect. a good
brother whose name Yves unfortunately not
ascertained, moved au adjournm MT, and
the chairman, peroeiviug the treatened
Squall, without dwelling on'superfious pre-
| liminarIes declared that the session was at
/ an end. Earnest efforts have been made to
suppress the details of the affair.

DENVER. Col, April 27.--The death by
poisoning of Mrs. Josephine Barnaby OF
Providence, r. l., is the sensation of the
hour. The analysis of a portion Of the
liquid remaining IN the bottle that came by
mail from Boston, purporting to contain
fine old whisky, shows that there
was no whisky In it, nor
any other kind of alcohol. 1t
was an arsenical solution colored and
perfumed. The discovery that IL was mailed
in Boston was made through the crcum-
stance that Mrs. Worrells little boy is q
stamp collector and he secured the stamps
from the wrapper, amounting to 95 cents
and these bore the Boston postnhrk. Mrs
WorCell Is somewhat better and there are
hopes Of her recovery.
MURDERED FOR GAIN.
BosToN, April 27.--In a special dispatch
from Providence Henry B. Winship, the
financial head Of the j. B. Baraaby Com
pany, in speaking Of Mrs: Barnaby's death,
is reported as saying: There was murder.
In my Judgment a motive Of gain in
spired it, l am trustee for the Barnaby
estate and have got q little money Of my
own to punish the dastardly perpetrator OF
that crime. We will spend every dollar in
our hands" Providence detectives have
very positive theories as to the perpetrator.
MRS. woRRELL AT PHILADELPHIA.

ward Worrell, the surviving victim of the
mysterious poisoning tragedy in Denver,

Barnaby Of Providence, lost her life arrived

Mrs. Barnaby, which was accompanied by

ings, Mont, and her nephew. Mr. Clark Of
Boston Mrs. Worrell states that she has
almost entirely recovered from the effects
OF the poison, being now able Co take solid
food. Tho body Of Mrs. Barnaby was taken
on to Providence.
MRS. wORRELL's STORY.
Before the Worrell family left the Broad
Street station for Chester, Mrs. Worrell
was interviewed. She said It was two weeks
ago to-day that the ladies' drank the stuff
they supposed was whiskey. When
they had taken swallow it's
taste convinced them that something
was wrong. Both became very sick, bur
medical attention brought them out Of
danger by the next day. But on tho fol-
lowing Friday Mrs. Barnaby caught cold
and congestion Of the lungs caused her
death In brief, Mrs Worrell said that
the tongue Of scandal had added too
many Embellishments TO an unhappy
affair. The story of the bottle Of poison hy
meil, she said was true, but everything else
was exaggerated and distorted. There had
been dlssension in the Barnaby family but
that had been smoothed over some time ago.

for Walla Walla county, Washington, re-
porting the facts in the case Of the lynching
Of a murderer by soldiers at Walla Walla
lost Friday and asking for action on the
part of the war department. The following
reply was sent at once: II greatly
regret the reported resort to mob violence
by the men Of the Fourth cavalry. Such
conduct is fortunately very rare on the part
of soldiers, whose first duty ia to maintain

directing that this be done.
