NOT ANXIOUS TO FIGHT.
Both Sides Apathetic Over the r
organization of the Senate

Both Sides Apathetic Over the Re-
organization of the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The introduc-
tion by Senator German in the Senate this
morning of the caucus resolution providing
for the reorganization of the force Of
Senate officers, means the transfer Of the
struggle from the secret session to the open
sessions of the Senate. All compromise
having failed and all attempts to adjust the
matter amicably in private having come
TO naught, the fight is now to be waged in
the open field. just what the outcome will
be cannot be predicted, but there is reason
to believe that both sides are hRlf-hearted
in the matter and it is safe to say that a
majority Of the senators really do not feel suf-
ficient interest in the reorganization to make
any spirited contest on either side Of the
proposition. OF course. this seeming apa-
thy may vanish as the fight progresses and
hard things are said 10 the course Of the
debate. and when they talk for publication
senators are careful to say that they intend
to fight for, or against, the resolution all
summer if necessary, but 1t il evident that
at present tine feeling is one of indifference
on the part of large number OF senators.

GLADSTONE ON HOME RULE.
He Belittles the Claim That It Means
Ruin in Erin

Ruin In Erin.
LONDON, March 2S.-Premier Gladstone
was visited to-day by delegations from the
Belfast Chamber OF Commerce, the Belfast
harbor commissioners and the Ulster Linen
Merchants Association, who addressed the
premier in depreciation and opposition to
the establishment Of a separate legislature
In ireland, and represented that Irish inter
ests would be greatly injured thereby, and
that religious aud radical differences would
make successful home rule impossible. mr.
Gladstone, in reply, discounted the impor-
tance of the fall IN Irish securities, which he
said, doubtless arose from the fact that a
majority OF the property owning Glasses in
Ireland we're opposed TO home
rule Mr.. Gladstone disputed the
allegation that historical jealousy existed
between the members of the different re-
hgions In ireland, and he denied that racial
divisions would prevent unity under one
local government. Mr. Gladstone referred
to the Dominion of Canada as on instance
OF the existence OF racial divisions in
finitely sharper than In Ireland There.
TOO, there had been similar gloomy
prophecies when the united autonomous
scheme Of government was proposed,
but Canada nevertheless was oontented aud
prosperous As to the charge that capital
would be driven from Ireland by home

there being a chronic want OF money in Ire
land when home rule would he established
there, there would, he believed, be a
plethora of money.
After dismissing the Ulster men, Mr..
Gladstone received a deputation of London
merchants and bankers. including Sir
Johh Lubbock liberal uniouist, member for
London University, and William Lidder-
dale, one OF the directors Of the Bank of
England, who had come to represent the
danger TO the financial interests involved in
the Irish home rule scheme. Mr.. Gladstone
said that he was sadly sensitive that the
government was at issue with the money
classes, whose views were commonly op-
posed to the national sentiment. They
should remember, however, that the period
of the last Irish parliament had been IA
period OF marked financial progress, and
the proposed measure was as a matter of
fact, conservative and not revolutionary.

PARIS. March Lacour, =,
newly elected as president OF the Senate in
place Of M. Ferry, deceased, took the chair
to-day as presiding officer. There was a
large attendance and the Introductory ad-
dress OF the new president was listened TO
with great interest. M. Challemel- Lacour
said: France must ever find ia
the Senate the surest safeguard
against the agitations renewed from time
TO time by parties hoping to
turn them TO their own advantage. The
Senate, mindful of the movements that are
now occurring in the economic and moral
conditions Of society, ought to support the
government in dealing with those condi-
tions." This outspoken advocacy OF the
government was not unexpected, in view of
the support given by the supporters Of
President Carnot to M. Challelmel- Lacour's
candidacy.

THE Orange riots in Belfast serve to
demonstrate the imminence of Ireland's
nationality. The last resort of people
who are opposed to measure, not on
grounds of reason but of prejudice, is to
create disturbance. IL is supposed that
this form of opposition is generally ac-
cepted as testifying to the sincerity and
depth of feeling of those who resort to
it, but as a matter of fact it has an
altogether different effect upon the in
telligent mind. It.operates simply as
an evidence that the opposition is not
we'll grounded, and that the arguments
advanced have lacked weight. Despera-
ton is the last condition of such opposi-
ton, because desperation precedes dis
solution.

A Wise Sura.cstintt-

Periodically there are commissions OF
anxiety and whole nations are dis
quieted over the non-arrival of ocean
steamers. and closely following upon
such excitement there is n great deal
OF talk about the large number of
derelicts floating about in the track OF
Transatlantic steamships. According
to all accounts, any one of these float
ing obstacles is sufficiently bulky and
formidable to cause the sinking or
serious disabling of even our best
merchantmen or passenger steam
ships, In view of all this, suggests a
New York contemporary, it would
seem to be the duty of congress to
pass some law authorizing the forma-
ton of n government commission, in
Guiding representatives from all ma
tions of the earth that send out ships
to sea. The duty of this commission
should be the organizing of n marine
service. the sole purpose of which
should be the overhauling and either
the destruction or towing into safe
keeping of this class of abandoned
craft. An obstacle of this sort sighted
by any sea-going vessel should at once
be reported at the first available point,
the service ship should be Immediately
notified and take steps to remove this
source of danger. AL the nations OF
the earth could DO assessed, according
to their commerce, for the cost OF
keeping up this protector of ocean
liners. The expense would not be
very great, considering the Importance
of the service rendered. Some mem
Der of congress who wants to do the
whole world good turn might give
his attention TO this subject
