government redeemed its pledges. The

garu 10 corruption were those that the

III Tue world, introduced into their Con-
StltuIloh. The Americsea legislature could
De prougnt before the Supreme Court.
James Brlce of the south division of
Aberdeen l4iberal), IN 4avor of home
rule for Ireland, denied that there was
any comparison between the proposed
councils in Ireland and the relation i'm
which the American State Legislatures
stood to the Supreme Court, which had
only power to nullify an Act passed by
the Legislature in excess of its powers.
L. d. Sullivan said he recognized in the
insulting safeguards of the bill the hands
Of Lord Salisbury, who dubbed Irishmen
"Hottentots" and ''Lopers."
Sexton said never in his parliamentary
experience had he seen so incompetent a
bill.
VIM. Redmond regarded the bill as
death-bed repentance, because the Gov
eminent did not dare appeal to the coun-
try on its coercive policy alone. 1t was
Ieyeled at the Irish people.
The bill passed first reading, and Bal
four fixed the second reading for March
Sd.
The Liberals are eXultant, regarding the
bill as final blow to the Governments
chances In the coming general election.
Both sections of the Irish members in

WAsHINGToy, Feb. 1S.-The House has
Just passed through another interesting
episode. Bland of Missouri, during the
consideration of the Indian appropria-
uon bill, secured consent to have read
from the Clerks desk a circular that had
been sent by Representative Harter of
ONO to Grand Army of the Republic
posts concerning the free coinage bill.
ana which circular Bland declared to be
illuminating and bulldozing, and was the
work OF millionaire goldbug. Then en-
SUED wordy duel between the two cham
plons OF opposite views on the silver
question. The scene was all the more in
teresting, from the fact that these two are
ooth Democrats, and sit side by side in
the hall of the House.
When Bland was through with his
personal TRADE against Harter there were
cries OF Fair play throughout the
house, and Harter arose by BANDS side

crowded around Harter to hear his re-

farmer as any member Of the House. not

Bland then gained additional time to
reply to some Of Harter's statements. and
sent to the Clerks desk the Congressional

ten by himself, presumably, and stating
that be was banker ard manufacturer
and Democrat. Bland asserted stoutlv
that Harter was no Democrat at all.
Harter then arose and said he was more

| he would not read BANDS record, which
may have been honorable enough, but he
was credibly informed that the gentle
man had been interested in gold and
silver mines. AS to his being gold bug.
Harter declared this to be false. and said
he at the present time had not piece of
gold in his pocket, with the exception of
his watch, a big gold one, which he ex-
hIblted to the House, amid laughter.
At this point Bland arose beside his

PARIS, Feb. 1S.-An the members of
the French Ministry have rendered their
designations to President Carnot. The
cause of the resignation of the Ministry
was the action OF the Chamber of Depu-
ties in connection with the bill dealing
with associations.
This afternoon Hubbard demanded
urgency for the bill as reply to the atti-
tude of the French Bishops. Cassagnac
described the bill as an ubiquitous meas
ure.
Premier Defreycinet denied that the
measure was intended as an act of perse-
cution OF the church, or that it need be re-
garded precursor Of the separation of
the church and State. He warmly COM
mended the conciliatory spirit of the
Pope. He added: eve doubtless will be
called upon some day to treat with the
Vatican on the religious question. A
portion Of the clergy may possibly refuse
to enter upon the path pointed out for
them, but universal suffrage will judge
between the two policies"
In conclusion, Freycinet gave assent to
the demands for urgency, though he said
that would not give the measure the sig
niticance of Hubbdrd's motion. Finally
Freycinet again arose and demanded the
order of the day be moved, indicating the
views of the Chamber on the subject.
In accordance Boisserin moved that the
Government be requested to continue its
republican policy.
Freycinet accepted the motion, and in
timated that he considered it Cabinet
question.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The Sub-Com-

Judiciary listened this morning to argu-
ment in opposition to the Washburn bill
made by Senator Allerton Of Illinois,
who stated that he had been practical
farmer for the past thirty years. He said
the promoter of this bill seemed to be
one of the mill combine controlled by
English capital. 1t was designed to de-
stroy the Chicago market-the greatest
market center of the world.
Allerton stated that if future trading in
Chicago were limited and hampered bv
the laws the market there would be de-
stroyed and the millers of Minnesota
could buy their wheat cheaper.
Senator Washburn stated that it was
not the interests of the miller to have
cheap wheat.
D. b. Smith of Toledo argued that the
bill, instead Of proving beneficial 10 the
effect. 1t would prove the most disas-
trous legislation ever inflicted on the
business interests OF the land.
President Bacon of the Milwaukee
Board of Trade, on behalf of that BODY.
requested of the House Committee on
Agriculture to-day that legislation be
delayed on the anti-options bill, and thar
Congressional investigation on the sales
of futures be made during the recess
of Congress. He maintained the system
enabled producers to dispose of their
crops more readily than would other
wise be the case.
