LONDON CABLE LETTER.
THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY'S. RAP.
IDLY WANING POWER.
A Hard Struggle to Maintain "a Majority
in the Commons The Government
Urged to Dissolve Parliament About
Easter-Irish Campaign Funds, Etc.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-ICopyrighted, 1892,
by the New York Associated Press. i
The Conservative commissioners who
are urging the government to dissolve
parliament about Easter, have their
reasons enforced by the daily difficulty
experienced by the Conservative whips
in keeping enough members together to
prevent the opposition from snatching
division on anything like an organized
party struggle. By the time Chaplin's
small holdings bill is passed the house
will have no vitality left for prolonged
wrangles over the Irish government bill.
Still, Balfour shows no disposition to re-
cede from his intention to carry that
measure. In a letter to the Bristol
Unionist club, he says,he hopes to conn
plete the general scheme by introduce
ing bill transferring to Ireland private
bill legislation. Lord Salisbury has in
formed his supporters Of his intention
to hold q conference on the eve of the
day the Irish local government bill is
given to the committee. The opposition
tactics, he says, under Gladstone's lead
ership will then have developed, and
the Conservatives will be enabled to de-
eide what course to pursue.
IRISH CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
Chancery proceedings are to open, fol-
lowing writ served upon Mrs. Parnell
and Justin Mccarthy jointly, at the in
stance of Redmond, Harrington and
others, with view to decide the GUS
tody of the Paris funds, The special
fund which the Irish National federation
Co. L. 1oto 1ox al
purposes is progressing. The total is
now $4,000 and the fund is growing
weekly. American contributions are
largely increasing.
AMERICAN IMMIGRATION RESTRICTIONS.
The proposals. OF Secretary Foster for
restricting European immigration to the
United States, are anxiously discussed
by the Atlantic steamship companies.
1t is suggested that increase of the tax
implies increased passenger rates. A
high steamship authority says while
the scheme will create positions in
European ports for new class OF office
seekers, at the cost of the Atlantic
steamship lines, it will impel immigra-
tion to other countries, especially
to Canada. The exacting OF bond Of
$4,000 from steamship owners, as
pledge for the return Of Objectionable
emigrants within two years, he holds
will bsimpossible of observance.
sPURGEoN's SUCCESSOR.
James Spurgeon, brother of the late
Chas. Spurgeon, has Professionally as
sumed the duties Of the pastorate of the
Metropolitan tabernacle. Rev. Mr..
Person was the most popular candidate,
but he is Presbyterian, and the trust
deed requires a Baptist. Pierson will
continue to occupy the pulpit, and will
probably formally join the Baptists.

Loubet Forming a Cabinet.

PARIS, Feb. 26.-Bourgeois has aban-
doned the attempt to form cabinet,
and President Carnot has summoned

by omitting Constans and taking the
interior portfolio himself, Freycinet,
Ribot, Bourgeois, Rouvier, Develle and
Roche retaining their present seats.
Loubet will declare a policy that will

The Need of Free Bimetallic Coinage

Felt in Ind Ia.
LONDON, Feb. ga dispatch to the
Times from Calcutta says: An address
presented to the government by the
Bengal chamber of commerce, on the
subject of exchange, says it is impossi-
BILE for men in business to have any con-
fidence in the future value OF the rupee.
1t adds that it is the belief of members
of the chamber of commerce that there
is no complete remedy for the fluctua-
tions in rates of exchange except either by
the establishment by an international
agreement of a system of free coinage of
both gold and silver at fixed rates, or
the adoption of the gold standard by
India. Failing in these remedies, they
see nothing in the future except the
gradual demonstration of silver by one
country after another, with violent and
endless fluctuations in the relative
values of gold and silver, and fall in
the rupee to level impossible to pre-
dict.

WENT TO THE BOTTOM. !,
A Steamer Sunk in the North Sea With
All Hands Aboard.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-Meagre news of
the terrible disaster on the North sea,
by which steamer went to the bottom,
carrying with her every soul on board,
with only one exception, was received
in this city at late hour tonight. The
steamer Loughbrow, (British), and the
Forest Queen came into collision off
marlborough. on the North sea, the
Forest Queen being torn apart. The
sea rushed through the breaches made
in her hull in great volume. She at
once began to settle, and in very short
time plunged to the bottom. So quickly
did the Forest Queen founder, that the
crew had no chance to save their lives,
and all hands, with the single excep-
tion of the captain, went down. The
dispatches give no information of the
extent of the damage done the Lough-
brow.

sas Demon" and Dennis Gallagher Of
Buffalo, engaged in wrestling match
that came near ending in tragedy.
Gallagher got his man by the neck and
tried to place his shoulders on the car
pet. Gibbs squirmed partly out and
then Gallagher clutched him about
the neck and squeezed Glbbs's
wind.pipe until his eyes protruded,
and he became black in the face.
Shouts of "foul" and "don't murder
him." came from the Mortified specta-
tars. Gibbs's second attempted to res
cue his man, but the referee held him
back. Gallagher continued choking
until Gibbs became unconscious, and
lay upon the floor nearly lifeless. He
was carried to a room and worked over
for some time before he revived.

AMUsEMENrs.

Mr.. Roland Reed is unquestionably
at his best as Stuyvesant Filbert in The
Club Friend, in which he appeared last
night at the Los Angeles theater. The
play is called comedy, but it partakes
OF go much that is serious, and is so
utterly devoid of the farcical features
that modern playwrights seem to think
belong to comedy, that it has decided
quality of dignity.
Mr.. Reed has the role of man of the
world, who is actuated by the kindliest
purposes, which are worked out by
means of his shrewdness and knowledge
of life. 1t is a part that requires the
utmost skill to keep from being slow,
and necessitates excellent judgment to
prevent from becoming burlesque.
Mr.. Reed makes it thoroughly enjoya-
BILE, and pictures character that is
both amusing and likeable.
In the last act Mr.. Reed as Gilbert,
Miss James as Mabel Douglas and Mr..
Nash as DR.. Jarvis, act scene which is
wonderfully strong DR.. Jarvis gives
up all claim to daughter, who does
not know that he is her father, and who
thanks him for wedding dowry, which
his adopted daughter, has extorted from
mated every move made through the
play, by Nash, who is the villain, but
who, outwitted by the cool-headed club
man, is at last brought to a repentant
frame of mind.

MAPLE LEAF IS RIGHT
Likely to Score a Complete
Victory Over Chairman
Finley.
The Request to Use Reduced
Tariffs for Basing Rates
Was Proper.
Er. Finley Issues a Circular
Asking for a Vote on the
Question.
The Chicago-Ohio River Cut
Rates Legal, and No Doubt
of the Result.

CHICAGO, April 9.-The indications
are that complete victory will be
gained by the Chicago. st. Paul & Kan
sas City in its controversy with Chair
man Finley regarding the right Of the
road to use reduced fares between Chi
cago and Ohio river points as basing
rates from Western and Northwestern
points to Cincinnati, Louisville and In
diana points via Chicago. The chair
man, day or two ago, refused to au-
thorize any such action on the part of
the lines in the Western Passenger as
sociation, but today he receded from his
position so far as 10 issue circular let
Ter to the members asking them to vote
on the question.
The fact is that Mr. Finley's ruling,
while it might have been technically in
accordance with agreements and rules
of the association, was really in conflict
with former ruling of the interstate
commerce commission. More than two
years ago the Chicago d Atlantic road
compelled its Western connections to
use its differential fares from Chicago
to Eastern points as basing rates IN
tlcketing passengers from the West over
that line This was done by appealing
to the interstate commerce commission
for a ruling. Judge Cooley. who at the
time was chairman of the commission,
decided that no road had a right to
charge higher rate over connecting
line than was voluntarily charged by
that line itself.
The present cut rates between Chi
cago and the Ohio river have been ie-
gally established aS regular fares, and
not to recognize them in making through
rates would be to compel the passenger
gong from st. Paul TO Cincinnati, by
way of Chicago, to pay more than the
combined local rates, st. Paul to Chi
cagO and Chicago to Cincinnati. Now
that Chairman Finley has shifted the
responsibility of settling this question
to the roads themselves, there is no
doubt that the new fares will be adopted
as baSing rates.

SALTWATER NEWS.
A Memorable Meeting of the Com
mon Council.

The last meeting of the old council. held
Friday night, VIII be a memorable one to the
retiring aldermen by reason of a spirited dis
cusSion which arose over a sale of $4,000
worth of permanent improvement bonds. At
meeting of the council early last winter the
finance committee was instructed to dispose
OF the bonds at the highest price obtainable,
and shortly afterward r. S. Davis, cashier
OF the Lumbermen's bank. was given an op-
ton on the bonds. The finance committee
agreed TO take $500 premium on the sale and
the remainder. if any, was 10 be given Mr..
Davis for dispoSing OF the bonds
In the meantime, and before Mr.. Davis
had closed the deal, City Clerk
Hopkins had been corresponding with
nearly sixty Eastern bankers and one day
he received bid for the bonds, the pre-
mium amounting to $1,000. Knowing that
Mr. Davis had an option on the bonds he re-
ferred the bidder to him and the sale was
consummated, and everything was perfectly
satisfactory to the finance committee In
view of the work that Mr.. Hopkins had done
in aiding the city III disposing of the bonds
Mr. DAVIS did not ask Tor the full amount of
his commission but presented a bill at the
council meeting Friday evening for S56a 25
The finance committee presented a majority
and minority report, the majority report in
favor of paying the commission and closing
the transaction, and the minority report
against paving il, claiming that the commits
sion would be paid TO City Clerk Hopkins, and
not to Mr.. Davis, and that as a city officer,
he could not accept anything more than his
salary for doing The work. The members of
the finance committee i'll favor of paying the
commission were Aid. hammers and Ander-
son, and against paying it Aid. Sutton. A
resolution was presented calling for the pay
ment or the commission, but was lost by a tie
vote, Messrs. hammers, Strom and Foster
voting aye. and Messrs. Kitty, Eichten and
Sutton nay. Those opposing the payment
placed their objections on the grounds that
Mr.. Hopkins had engineered the deal ana
that Mr.. Davis had no right to any commits
sion. Those in favor argued that whereas,
MI. Davis had an option on the bonds and
completed the sale, he was entitled TO his
commission. The discussion was one of
the most interesting ever occurring in
the council chamber, and the meeting lasted
until nearly 2 o'clock a. IN. The reports
were referred back TO the committee to re-
port at a future meeting of the new council.

new members take their seats. City Attor.

gan to suffer from peculiar pains IN his
stomach. At times the pain was most
severe, andhis life was despaired of. He
has been confirmed invalid for two
years. His belief was that some kind of
an animal was inhabiting his stomach,
but his physicians ridiculed this idea
and doctored him for indigestion. Mr..
Phillips became at times porariIy
insane during the years of suffering.
The idea that he had swallowed an ami
NAL while drinking still fingered in his
mind, and few days ago he took a
dose of strong liniment. The pain was
leSsened, and he took second dose. A
short time afterward he elected full

ILLEGAL BONDS.
Kansas City Water Works Bonds
Attacked in Court.

Attacked in Court.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 9.-George
d. Ford. prominent citizen and bank
er of Kansas City. today instituted a
suit to declare void the water works
bonds recently voted by Kansas City,
Mo, and to annul all the proceedings
which have been taken in the matter.
The grounds of this suit are somewhat
sensational, and are, in part that the
charter amendments, the basis of all
the city'S authority, were never legally
adopted, being passed in an illegal form
al an illegal special session Of the COM
mon council.
The recent voting of the bonds is at
tackled because 10 proclamation was
ever issued for the special session at
which the ordinance calling the election
was introduced and passed; that under
the laws OF Missouri such bonds can
only be voted on at special election,
while this vote was taken at a general
election; that a former issue of $1,000
600 still remains uncanceled, SO that the
city's debt is increasing beyond the
limit up to which a city may become
conStitutiOnally indebted; that the elee-
tion was fraudnentIy conducted, and
that it is proposed to issue the bonds
surrepttiouSly and Oh secret under
standing for large discount.
