General Manderson,s War CayoI

When Senator Henderson, whois Pres
ldent pro tenn. OF the Senate, presides
over the deliberations of that BODY. he
can WELD gavel which has, perhaps. as
much historic interest to the square inch
as any similar implement of the kind. 1t
was presented TO him recently by a COM
mittee appointed at a meeting of the
Nineteenth Regiment, Ohio Infantry AS
sociation, held IN Detroit in August last.
In carrying out their instructions the
committee had the gavel made of woods
from the prominent battlehelds where
the regiment, led by their commander.
General Manderson, participated in the
conflict between the North and the
South. The handle, made of cherry,
bears the name of Rich Mountain which
was one of the first BATTLES fought in West
Virginia. On the other woods forming
the gayel are the names of Shiloh, Jones'
boro', Stone River, Rocky Face, Picketts S
Mills, Kenesaw Mountain, Mission Ridge,
and Lovejoy's Station. Senator Mander-
son, in his letter acknowledging this gift,
states that he will place it by the side OF
the brace of pistols that were presented to
him by the members OF his regiment after
the desperate battle of Stone River. He
adds: The history of our regiment is the
history of the war of the rebellion in the
center west" This gift is intended as an
expression on the part of the comrades of
General Manderson, not only of their
affection for him, but also for their appre-
citation of the honors which have come to
him in his public Washington

urer Dauer and a. Z. Cochran, whom he

Question.

Copyright, 1892, by n. Y. Associated Press.I
LONDON, May 6.-Gladstone's refusal
to receive delegates from the working
mems conference who desired to prevent
the elght-hour question being felt by the
rank and file of the Liberal party seems
to have been tactical mistake Taking
advantage OF the mistake, the London
Conservative members have decided to
influence the Government to take an op-
poslte course. At a meeting of Liberal
members, they hesitated to condemn the
action of Gladstone, and therefore re-
1erred the matter to Il committee, with
instructions to report Tuesday.
The Conservatives stole a march by
inducing Salisbury and Balfour to re-
ceive deputation of trades union repre-
sentatives. They, however, will not be
duped into supposing that the Conserva-
tlves are more jealous in the cause of
labor than the Liberals. Nor will either
Salisbury or Balfour commit themselves
to the elght-hOur movement.
1t Is not doubted that the result of the
conference will place the labor questions
at the head of progress of both political
parties, to the embarrassment of the Lib
eral chief, who is pledged to home rule
first.
Gladstone's organ, the Speaker, will
say tomorrow that the enemies of home
rule, despairing of success by open at
tacks, seek TO divert attention of the Lib
eral masses from the Irish question and
convert certain victory into route. Such
expressions, coming from the Liberal
press, are suggestive of the strong alarm
prevailing lest the party be wrecked on
the labor difficulty before Salisbury's
trend is known.
The Times upheld Gladstone's refusal
TO receive the delegation, and announced
that the efforts of the labor leaders to ex-
act pledges at this stage of the movement
were an outrageous attempt to overbear
the judgment of Parliament.
Inls criticism does not affect the salts
faction of the Conservatives over the
policy of the leaders, who are now obvi-
ously harassing the Liberals and attract
ing toward the Government a strong
body of workingmen.
The official Unionist paper declares the
action of Gladstone has chilled the hearts
of workingmen, which once was warm
toward him to the core.
At conference of Liberal election
agents, Schnadhorst calculated that the
majority of II in the next House, and
holds that the labor complications would
exert only minor influence.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, at the
conference, stated that elections were GER
tain to be held at the commencement of
July, following the Ulster Convention at
Belfast and the Irish Unionist Conven-
ton in Dublin.
Sir William asserted that Orange lodges
were privately subscribing money for the
purchase of arms to carry out the threats
of rebels rather than submit TO Parlia-
ment.
Whether the Tories really believe an
armed conflict would follow the estab-
lishment of an Irish Parliament or not,
they assure insincerity and cultivate be-
lief that a civil war will be the outcome
of home rule.
Salisbury's private Secretary has
written an Oxford clergyman to the end
that Ibis lordship is glad to see you i'm
press upon the electors the probability
that home rule would produce tho great
est OF all curses-a religious civil war"

Salisbury Declares That n Great Polit-
ical Struggle is Impending.
LONDON, May 6.-Lord Salisbury pre-
sided at a meeting of the Grand Habita-
ton of the Primrose League, held at CO.
vent Garden Theater to-day. The theater
was beautifully decorated and was
crowded with aristocrats. Salisbury de-
livered the address, in which he declared
a great political struggle was impending.
1--WE have" he said, ito deal with the
proposal for great organic change, the
conflicts of the classes shutting out from
mems eyes the great issue of the integ-
rity of the empire.' Salisbury also said
the opinion of loyalists in Ireland was
not changed. The conditions with which
Ulster had to struggle appeared clearer
every day. He had been accused of at
tacking the Catholic religion, but nothing
was further from his thoughts. What
Ulster had to dread was being submitted
to the despotism of her foes. While Par
lament had a right to govern Ulster, it
slavery. Any attempt to use the English
military to subject Ulster to Archbishop
Walsh would rend society in two. Home
Rule is not message of peace, but of
civil and religious war.
His Lordship concluded by declaring
that unless the Conservatives and Lib
eral Unionists exerted themselves to pre-
vent that hideous picture from becoming
a reality they would produce result
which would not secure home rule, but
state of things which would destroy the
credit and enfeeble the power of England
in every quarter of the wOrld.n
