MIGRATION FOR ERIN.
Chief Secretary Morley Makes Note
worthy Speech.

OAAoA bcCEobhEy morley MAKES NOL6-
worthy Speech.
LONDON, Jan. John Morley, chief
secretary for Ireland, made q speech to-
night that is noteworthy on account Of its
breathing friendliness for the people of Ire
land. In the course OF his remarks be said
that the government was persuaded that
migration was preferable to emigration, and
that the government would do its best TO
meet the wishes of the Irish, but he feared
that IL would be impossible to do anything
in the matter during the coming session OF
parliament.
A DEsERTER FROM GLADSTONE.
William Rathbone, who is set down In
the Parliamentary Companion as decided
hberap in politics, ana who was elected by
the Gladstonians to represent the North or
Arion division OF Cararnavoshire In the
House OF Commons. has Joined the liberal
independents. Mr.. Rathbone was
elected on the theory that he would give
a general support TO Mr.. Gladstone. and
1t Is believed that his detection 10 due to his
determination not to support the home rule
bill that 1t IL expected will be presented at
the coming session of parliament. His de-
fection has caused much adverse comment
among the supporters OF Mr.. Gladstone and
IL remains to be seen what view his constit-
uents will take of the matter.

ANNHXING THU ISLANDS.
The Question Still the One Theme
of Conversation.
ENGLAND WILL PROTEST.
France and Germany VIII Not, 1t Is
Believed, Offer objection.
The Hawaiian Representative Says Com
merciaI Interests Are with the
United States, the Natives
Are with the English.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sit is stated to-
day that the report of last night that the
protest of England against annexation OF
Hawaii by the United States would be
presented today, was premature. 1t was
said at the state department that it had
not been received, and there was no init
nation that it would come today. Lord
Roseberry's statement to the Hawaiian
charge at London yesterday that Eng
land, France and Germany would protest
against the annexation OF Hawaii by the
United States is believed to have good
foundation only so far as England is con-
cerned. The interests OF France and Ger
many in that country are not of sufficient
importance to warrant protest.
DR.. Mott Smith, Hawaiian representa-
tive here, expects England to protest
vigorously. He thinks there will be a
concentration at Honolulu as rapidly as
possible of the naval forces England now
has in the Pacific for the purpose of maxi
ing demonstrations, but it is not prob
able, in the opinion of DR.. Smith, that
this will affect the sentiment of the peo-
pie in any way. The commercial inter-
ests of Hawaii are practically all with the
United States, alth ough the sympathies
of the native population under the in
huence of members of the royal family
are undoubtedly with the English, still
the property interests of the island will
eventually control its destiny. That in
tevest is in favor of political incorpora-
ton with the United States.

COLD WEATHER.
The Northwest Country Com
pletely Frozen Up.
TERRIFIC BLIZZARD.
The Storm Particularly Severe in the
State OF Dakota.
Schools Are Closed, Railway Traffic Aban
doned and Business at a Stand
still-The Wind Blowing at
a Fearful Rate.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 31.-A blizzard ragged
all over the northwest last night and to-
day and is still at it. a driving snow
broke over St. Paul during the morning.
The wind blew at the rate of twenty miles
an hour, driving clouds of snow before it.
Reports from the northwest are meagre at
the weather bureau owing to the prostra-
ton of wires. Those received show some
peculiar freaks of weather. At8 O'Clock
this morning at Helena it was 4S below
zero, while at Missoula, little over a
hundred miles north, it was 10 degrees
above. At the former place there was a
high wind from the west. Missoula was
simultaneously catching a small hurri-
cane frome the east. All through Mon
tana, with the exception OF one point, the
cold was intense.
In Portland it was % above and in st.
Paul Is. In Duluth it was below, Win
nipeg 1C, and jamestown 9; while at
Fergus Falls, Grand Forks and Fargo 1t
was fully 20 degrees warmer, with high
wind from different points at each of the
six places. The snow fall in the north
west was not enough to cause serious de-
lay, but high winds caused drifts and
they kept through trains three to four
hours late. This evening the storm IS
more severe in the Dakotas and Mime
sofa, and the temperature is rapidly drop
ping below zero.
Later tonight reports from many points
in the northwest state that the blizzard is
general and very severe. Glendale, N.
D., reports a severe change. At this
morning it was 16 above and tonight it is
% below. Schools have been closed, bust
ness is at standslill and terrific biz
zard is raging. 1t is 20 below at Huron,
s. D. tonight with sixty-fve mile gale.
Watertown, S. D., reports trains aban-
doned because of the storm.

ZANTE WAS SHAKEN.
Many HOuses We're Wrecked and a
Panic Ensued.
The Dome of the Prison Fell, Burying
Many Prisoners-Scores of Families
Camped in the Fields.

ATHENS, Jan. 31.-The Island of Zante
was shaken this morning by an earth
quake and panic ensued. In the town
of Zante many houses were wrecked, the
dome of the prison fell and many prison
ers were killed. The walls of the prison
sprung and cracked. The hospital was
spaken from its foundation floors and set
tied, and the roof sank several feet. Two
hours later the town was shaken by re-
peated shocks and more houses fell, and
the prison became so unsafe that the
prisoners were removed.
The people have fed from their homes
and are crowding the market place.
Scores of families are camped in the
fields. Many dead bodies were found in
the ruins and hundreds injured severely.
1t is impossible to get further details.
The government has sent provisions for
the relief of the homeless.
The violent shocks occurred at 8 80 this
morning. This is the elimination of some
three hundred shocks telt during the past
five months. The center was the sea be-
tween the island of Zante and Morea.
Many houses were destroyed and all badly
damaged. Some villages are heaps of
ruins.

PARLIAMENT OPENS.
Gladstone Takes the Oath as Prime
Minister.

N@-N-~-1NOH-N
Minister.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-ParIiament reas-
sembled today. The queens speech con-
tanned no points of special interest be-
yond those outlined in these dispatches
yesterday.
At the close OF the reading of the
queens speech parliament adjourned till
this afternoon. On reassembIing Gladstone
took the oath as prime minister and was
followed by his colleagues.
In the house OF lords several new peers,
including Lord Playfair, took the oath
The Prince OF Wales and his son the Duke
of York had seats on the cross bench.
Lord Brassey moved the adoption OF the
address in reply to the queens speech.
His motion was seconded by Lord Thring.
Both mover and seconder spoke in general
terms in support Of the government.
Lord Salisbury who today appeared in
opposition passed a compliment on Lord
Thring. Touching upon the question of
home rule for Ireland Lord Salisbury
said one object of the govern
ment the past six months had
been to get the support of class OF men
whom hitherto no politician in England
had tried to conciliate. The key note OF
the Irish policy of government was sup
posed to get the support OF the criminal
classes. The prerogative Of the crown
/ had been used to shield murderers and re-
lease dynauiters. All acts OF the govern
ment caused the impression that they
were much more in sympathy with Grim
| inals than DESTROYS Of indicating the
law. 1Cries of ssHear, hear."l The
reference in the queens speech
/ to home rule was the most pc
culiar sentence he had ever seen
/ in a public document. 1t seemed to in
dictate the governments opinion that the
whole Irish question with which Parlia-
ment had to deal was that IL was right for
one portion of the Irish to place their
heels upon the neck of the protestant
population of Ireland.
With regard to the other measures in
dictated in the Queens speech, Lord Sails
| bury declares that nobody believes that
/ they Will ever be undertaken. This
is simply a REPETITION of the program
adopted by the Liberal conference at
| New Castle. Lord Salisbury alluded to
the agricultural depression and said agri-
culture suffered most from want OF conf
dence Political partisans now preached
doctrines that were filling the minds of
owners OF capital with apprehension.
There was no country in the world, Lord
Salisbury added, where property was now
/ so insecure as in Great Britain, in conse-
quence OF erroneous legislative action.
| fCries of Hear, hear.
/ The Earl OF Kimberly mildly remon-
strated with Lord Salisbury for accusing
the government of having sympathy for
| Irish criminals. He promised to intro
duce home rule bill in the house Of
| lords as soon as it passed the commons.
When this promise was heard, faint
! laughter riDpled over the benches and the
! debate then adjourned.

Mr.. Enloe, Democrat, OF Tennessee,
moved an amendment providing that
preference be given home over foreign
product when the material was equally as
good quality, and the home production
offered at equal or lower prices.
Mr.. Cogswell of Massachusetts, hoped
the amendment would be adopted beca use
it involved the Republicans protective
doctrine. The amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Bland OF Missouri gave notice thai
he would demand in the House a yea and
nay vote on the amendment, as it was
( plain to him that the Democratic House
which was opposed to protection should
not put itself up in favor of Tennessee
marble and in opposition to Italian
marble.
Mr.. Buchanan, Republican, thanked
God that this Democratic House even in a
moment of forgetfulness, had done an
American thing. Laughter.
Mr.. Enloe said the gentleman from
Missouri had misinterpreted his amend
ment, as it did not contain any principle
of protection.
Mr.. Outhwaite, Democrat, asked j:
"Does not the amendment give domestic
marble an advantage of 80 per cent?,'
''That is, suggested Mr.. Reed, Re-
publican, of Maine. "Are you really a
Democrat?''
Mr.. Dearmond, Democrat. of Missouri
made a violent attack on the civil service
law in support of an amendment suspend
ing the law for enc year SO far as it re-
lates to government employees provided
for by this act.
Mr.. Butler, Democrat, of Iowa, raised
point of order against the item appro-
priating for rivers and harbors, holding
| that it was only within the jurisdiction OF
the Committee on Rivers and Harbors.
Without disposing of the point the COM
mittee rose and the House adjourned.

PARLIAMENT is OPENED.
A Brilliant Debate in the House
of Commons.
THE HOME RULE MEASURE.
Gladstone Gives Notice Of It's Intro
duetiOn on Monday.
Balfour, Leader of the Opposition, Criti-
eizes the Government in Its Egyptian
Policy-GIadstone's Reply
Irish Dynamiters.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-In the commons this
evening notice that Gladstone would in
troduce his home rule bill Monday eIicj-
ted prolonged Liberal cheers. At SID
Lambert, Liberal, rose to move the adj
dress. He spoke to empty benches, as did
Mark Beaufers, who seconded the motion.
The house filed like magic, however.
when Balfour arose. and amid a storm OF
opposition cheers, began in a sneering
tone general criticism of the govern
ment IN Its Egyptian policy. Balfour said
the ministers could rely upon the support
OF the opposition so long as they upheld
British rights. He trusted the govern
ment would at its earliest convenience
let parliament know the causes which
led to the recent troubles in
CAIRO as among the causes undoubtedly,
were the rash utterances made by the
prime minister and chief secretary for
ireland when they were in opposition.
Balfour denounced the evicted tenants
commission as so unfairly constituted
that they were incapable of presenting
trustworthy reports He demanded that
the home secretary should say whether or
not the release Of Egan and Callan, Irish
dynam1ters, was part of the policy OF
amnesty to involve the release OF all Irish
dynamiters.
Gladstone was cheered loudly when he
rose to answer Balfour. He reproached
Balfour for assailing with infammatory
criticism bill not yet introduced and for
doing his utmost to prejudice the minds
or MS followers against q plan for home
rule OF which he was still ignorant. Bal
four had asked where there was an en-
pire which bad been strengthened by the
adoption OF local autnomy? Gladstone
replied as Lord Salisbury had done
some years ago, he would point to Aus
trla-Hungary. He would also point 10
the British colonies, which sixty years
ago were ruled from London, but de-
manded separation until government
was finally granted.
He would not reply to Balfour's invec-
tive against Morley's administration of
Ireland except to say the wise policy of
clemency had been simultaneous with d
great decrease of agrarian crime. Bal
four's attack on the evicted tenants COM
mission recoiled upon himself Glad
stone did not believe that in his long par
hamentary career he had ever uttered
words so rash and dangerous as were ut
tered by Balfour concerning the difficult
ties in Egypt. These words seemed to
suggest that the government would lose
no time in getting out OF Egypt. Bal
four here rose and repudiated the charge
that he had suggested the probability of
hasty evacuation.
Resuming, Gladstone said the govern
ment had not had time to consider the
question Of occupation, but merely the
maintenance of order. In conclusion
Gladstone repeated his appeal to the
house not to be moved by premature de-
nunclatiOnS of the home rule bill.

LIVED ON HUMAN FLESH.
Horrible Story Told BY the Survivors
OF Wrecked Vessel.
For Several Days they subsisted on the
Body of One of their Comrades,
When they StrangIed

HAMBURG, Jan. 31.-For sixteen days
three sailors who were rescued from the
Norwegian ship Thekla subsisted on
human flesh. The three strangled a
fourth companion and lived on his raw
flesh, cut from his corpse. From the
time of their rescue until to-day the three
unfortunates have been insane from SUI
ferings in the rigging of the foundered
ship. Two of them recovered sufficiently
to-day to tell the story of the Thekla's
voyage. SThe Thekla was in heavy weather
from Dec. when she left Philadelphia.
Her decks were flooded almost constantly,
the deck houses and rails being swept
away and the steering apparatus broken.
When it was found that there was no
hope of bringing the ship into port a
master mate and eight seamen got away
In the boat, the other boats being
smashed by the waves before they could
be lowered. Nine men were obliged to
remain in the rigging. They were unable
to get food from below, and five of them,
made insane by exposure and privation,
jumped overheard. The other four re-
manned aboard from Dec. %, till Jan. Z,
the day they were rescued.
On the thirteenth day lots were drawn
to determine who of the four should be
killed aud eaten. The lot fell twice in
succession 70 Dutch sailor, and he was
strangled and devoured raw by the other
three. The only drinking water the sea-
men got was the dew they licked from the

of Great Britain from assuming a protec-
torate over the islands which would have
resulted in absolute possession in the
near future, which, ii to avoid
we were compelled to accept the PROPOSE
ton for annexation at once, 1 would
favor it. Our government should look to
its own interests first, which Great
Britain never fails to do.
stNo European power should be allowed
to seize Hawaii at any time, especially
while there are representatives begging
at our door for annexation. France and
Great Britain recognized the independ-
ence of the islands in 1913 and subse-
quently the United States. Much will de-
pend upon the developments of the next
few days but | believe with careful con-
sideration, keeping American interests
constantly in view we shall reach a con-
clusion which will be satisfactory to the
people of our country"
Another Representative said today

within twenty years. Let the islanders
feel that they are once and forever under
the folds of the American flag as part
and parcel OF great republic and new de-
velopment will take place at once in the
group that will at once surprise its people
Not to take the fruit within our GRASP
and annex the group now begging US to
take it would be folly indeed, mistake o.
the gravest nature, both for the statesmen
of the day and for men among us of high
| commercial views and great enterprises.
'sLet the British lion once get its paws
upon the group and Honolulu would soor
become one of the most important strong
holds of Great Britain's power. Great
Britain will undoub tedly propose joint
arrangement for the government of the
islands, but we want none of that; nc
en6angling alliances. We have had enough
of that business at the Samoas. We
want no joint protectorate, no occupation
there by any European power, no Pacific
Egypt. We need the group as part ant
parcel of the United States and shoule
take what is offered US, even at the hazard
of war;"

THE DYNAMITE CRUISER.

Trial of the vesuvius Complete Success
in Every Way.
PORT ROYAL, S. c.. Jan. S1.-OficiaI
trials of the pneumatic guns of the dyna-
mite cruiser Vesuvius began this morn
ing. In all twelve shots were fired, six at
range of two thousand and six at fifteen
hundred yards. With the exception
of the first two shots fred from the
starboard gun, no shot fell more than
twenty yards distant from the required
range, and every shot fired would have
struck man OF war at the distance desig-
mated by the board. There was no diff
Guilty in working the air guns nor the
supply of air to the reservoirs nor con-
trolling the shell by wind vanes.

TO SUPPORT THE BOSTON.

No Preparation at the Navy Yard for
Sending Vessels to Honolulu.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-There is SEEM
ingly no preparation being made at the
navy department for sending vessels to
Honolulu to support the Boston. The
statement that 900 marines would be sent
to Honolulu on the steamer Mariposa
lacks confirmation. A flying squadron,
consisting of the cruisers San Francisco,
Atlanta and Charleston, and gunboat
Yorktown are expected at Barbados in a
few days, and they can easily be reached
there by telegraph if it is decided to send
any of them to Honolulu. 1t is probable,
however, that no extraordinary action
Will be taken until after the conference is
held between the Hawaiian annexation
commissioners, now on their way to
Washington, and the secretary of state.

READY TO SAIL.
The United States steamers Ranger ant

Adams Go to Honolulu.
MARE ISLAND, CAL, Jan. 81. = The
United States steamers Ranger and Adams
are now lying in the stream, steam up,
having all the compliment of men, stores
and ammunition aboard and ready to pro-
coed to sea and are waiting orders from
Washington. The Monterey arrived this
morning and will be ready to go in COM
mission in two days. Men are swarming
on her to push her to completion. The
old monitor Comanche is being pushed to
completion and will be ready for imme-
date use inside of one week. A full force
OF men are working on her.
When the Monterey arrived here her
supplies and ammunition were ready for
her and were at once put on board. There
was no crew for her, however, as all the
available men were required to man the
Adams and Ranger. Both the latter yes
sells are ready to sail at moments
notice. The supposition is that the
Adams will sail at once and the Ranger
leave day or two later. In conjunction
with the Boston and Alliance they could
put a force of 1000 men ashore and these,
backed by gatling guns, would make d
formidable showing.
