Protection Speeches Made at q Meet
ing Of the Imperial Federation.
LONDON, May 23.-The London branch OF
the Imperial Federation League held a
meeting to-day at which several protection
speeches were made Sir Charles Topper.
the Canadian high commissioner, was one
OF the speakers. He said that free trade
might have been excellent for England,
but as it was proving fatal to the
Canad ans the policy of incidental tax
alton had been adopted by Canada in
1878, which has been strongly conducive to
the maintenance of her ties with Great
Britain. If England, O ntinued the speaker,
adopted a small protective, nou-discrimi-
mating tariff, no country would complain.
Cobden's theory that all countries would
speedily follow England's example by
adopting free trade had proved fallacious
Sir Charles did not believe that
Golden would be free trader IL he lived
to-day. In concluding he said that Canada
could produce all Of the food that the
United States now exports TO Great Bril-
tain. ..a' t-
Another speaker, Mr.. Beckei, said that
Lord Salisbury had struck the right note in
declaring that free trade had gone too far

IRISH LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
The Debate on the Measure Resumed
in the House.

LONDON, May 23.-The debate on Mr..
Balfour's motion TO pass the government
Irish local government bill on its second
reading was continued in the House of Cons
mons to-day. William O'Brien said he felt
disposed TO vote for the immediate passage
of the bill through all its stages if the gov-
ernment would then dissolve parliament, as
before the bill could be got into working
order it would be swept away by another
government. He hoped that the bill would
be submitted to the coming Ulster Conven-
tion as 1t was certain that the ulster farm
ers would prefer an Irish parliament to
Irish local government Irishmen, he de~
clared, would not be deceived by such an
insolvent, contempttble sham.
CHAMBERLAIN URGES ACCEPTANCE.
Joseph Chamberlain said that the liberal
unionists were convinced that reform in the
local government Of Ireland was desirable
on its own merits without Difference to
home rule. The bill had been framed on
democratic lines, and the securities ems
bodied in the measure were fully justified.
He contended that the powers of the county
councils were not crippled by these safe-
guards. The county councils, he said. con-
troll 81 per cent. Of the local expenditures
and were invested with powers equal TO
those held by similar councils in Great
ernment to accept Mr.. O'Brien's offer to
support the bill in all its stages and UNDER
take 10 dissolve parliament If the bill was
passed.
HEALY GROWS SARCASTIC.
Timothy Healy said that Mr.. Chamber
lain, when speaking on Ireland, was ac-
customed to giving the house a great au-
thority. His great authority a few years
ago was Mr.. Hurlburt. Laughter. Who
had informed Mr.. Chamberlain in regard
to the constitution OF West Virginial Re-
garding the home rule question bis present
great authority was Mr.. Mccarthy, the
Ulster member. Irishmen, continued Mr..
Healy, agreed to the securities introduced
by the home rule bill, 3ut they did not
want Irish local government, and therefore
would not tolerate the securities provided
for by the present bill, which was worse
In concluding, Mr.. Healy said that the
tory party, like the crab, had gone back
ward.
Mayor Edward ]. Sauuderson said he
hoped that no party in Great Britain would
be 30 craven as to consider the feelings of
Irisbmen ia America, from whom the Irish
party were accustomed to derive their
sinews of war. These resources, he de-
clared, were now exhausted.
Sir George Trevelyan described the bill as
a mere abstract resolution.
Mr.. jackson, chief secretary for Ireland,
entered upon detailed defense OF the bill
khMr. Healy called attention to Lord Sails
bury's recent speech ct Hastings, and asked
for some explanation.
Mr.. Goschen replied that there was no
intention on the part of the government to
introduce any general system Of ad vaIorem

seventy-fve members present. Mr.. Wat
son of Georgia was present with his little
objection, which was directed this time 20
the request of Mr.. Butler Of Iowa for con-
sideration Of the Senate bill granting PEN
sion to ex-senator George w. Jones of
Iowa. Then Mr.. Watson's desire was satis-
fled, and his resolution requesting the COM
mittee on ways and means to report
the sub-treasury bill was adopted without
objection or debate. Mr. Watson having
achieved his object withdrew his objection
to the Jones pension bill, and on motion of
Mr.. Henderson of Iowa, IL was taken I'D
and passed. Mr.. Kilgore was also in at
tendance, and his objection defeated the re-
quest OF Mr.. Bryan of Nebraska for cousid-
GRAFTON Of the bill for the erection of a
pedestal for statue to Gen. w. T. Sher-
man.
Mr.. Bailey of Texas was also on hand
with his demand for quorum on private
bill called up by Mr.. Mckinney OF New
Hampshire, and almost three quarters of
an hour elapsed before quorum appeared
and the measure was passed. The floor
was then accorded to the committee on the
District Of Columbia. The f1rst bill called
up was one giving to the district commits
sioners authority to supervise the manages
ment Of all street railroad lines within the

loyalty TO his chief, hut when 1t
comes to the matter of making President

particularly true at this time. With Secre-
tary Blaine success would be assured, while
with President Harrison it would be
hard fight to say the best of it.
| think this is the opinion generally
entertained. Those who entertain it do
not moan when they express it to attack
President Harrison, or to disparage what
he has done. We want for our candidate
the strongest and most popular leader
we have. That man is unquestionably

SESSION OF TIE SENATE.
Vest Trying to Bring the Free Wool
Bill From the Committee.

NeSC frying Co Brlng the Free Wool
Bill From the Committee.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-In the Senate
to-day Mr.. Vest offered a resolution, which
was laid on the table for she preseut. dis
charging the committee on finance from
further consideration of the House bill to
put wool on the free list, and to reduce the
duties on woolen goods. and directing the
committee to report the bill back to the
Senate for its action thereon.
The Senate bill appropriating S50, 900 for
an equestrian statue Of Gen. Francis Marion
at Columbia, S. c., was taken from the
calendar and passed.
The calendar was then taken up. Among
the bills passed was the following: Refer
ring to the court of claims tho claim of
the Citizens Bank of Louisiana for specie
taken from the bank by Gen. Butler, with an
amendment extending the allowance of in
terest.
TREATY RIGHTS OF ALIENS.
At 2 o'clock the calendar was laid asid q
and the unfinished business was taken up
being the Senate bill to provide for the pun
Ishment of violations of the treaty rights of
aliens. Mr.. Dolph, who introduced the
bill and who afterward reported it from
the committee on foreign relations, made
an explanation Of it as being very simple in
its provisions, merely making an act which
constitutes crime under the state statutes
crime when committed against the subject
OF a foreign country and making it punish
able IN the United States courts.
A good deal of objection vas made TO the
bill. Mr.. Palmer suggested as one obiec-
tion that congress had no power to pass
law which would operate differently in
forty-four different districts of the same
country.
Mr.. Gray, taking the same view. res
marked that it was absurd to suppose that
congress should pass a criminal code that
could be repealed or modified by forty -four
different sovereignties.
Mr.. Villas favored reference of the bill to
the Judiciary committee, and Mr. Harris
made motion to that effect, but Mr.. Teller
wishes to have it recommitted to the com
mite on foreign relations.
Mr.. Morgan, a member Of the committee
on foreign relations, made an argument in
defense and advocacy of the bill. Without
concluding his speech Mr.. Morgan yielded
to motion to adjourn.

CAROLINA MAY BE CONTESTED.
Talk Of Sending q Cleveland Delega
ton TO Chicago.

Telk OF Sending a Cleveland DeleRa-
ton TO Chicago.
COLUMBIA, s. c., May 23.-Itis extremely
probable that an appeal TO Caesar will be
made by the Cleveland men in this state.
There is decided and expressed feeling
that the right of the delegation elected by
the recent democratic state convention to
sit at Chicago should be contested on the
ground that they are third partyites.
The State this morning published a leader
saying: "We think that it is the duty of
the Cleveland democrats, who were treated
with such brutal insolence and unfairness,
to make their appeal to the dsmocratio
national convention. The state convention,
by its action in other respects, practically
read itself out of the Democratic party and
proper protest would probably result in
unseating the delegates as third partyites.
But waving the question Of its desertion of
democratic principles and admitting for
forms sake that, calling themselves
democrats, they were democrats,
there is yet ample ground for a con-
test in the Fourth and Fifth districts"
The unfairness referred to is the
fact that the Spartanburg, Charles
ton and Columbia delegates were
not consulted in deciding upon the delegates
from their districts. This was done by the
alliance caucus with the other delegations
present. The comments of the northern
press have intensified the belief that a pro-
test would be sustained
