The Editor of the "The Thunderer''
Has a Narrow Escape From
Being Called to the Bar.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

LONDON Feb. 16.-In the Commons to-
day. Sir Thomas EsmOnde (anti- Parnellite)
called the attention of the House to the
speech made by Viscount Wolmer Niberal
UniOnisD in ST. James Hall, In which he
had declared that the Irish members SUBJ
sisted on contributions made by the Glad
stone caucus. Esmonde objected to this
Wolmer admitted that he had gone too
far, but he believed that he would be justi-
fed In saying that some association fur
thering Irish home rule supported the
needy Irish members.
Sexton characterized the statement as an
invention and demanded that the Speaker
enforce an apology. The Speaker declined
to interfere, as the statement had been
made outside the House. and Sexton said
that Wolmer's statement had been used by
the Times as a basis to heap caumnies on
the Irish members, saying Gladstone's ma
joEity would be wiped out if the Irish mer-
cenares didn't receive their stipends from
tile Liberal party fund or the private lIber-
ality of rich English partisans.
The Speaker suggested to Viscount VOL
mer that unless he was prepared with the
proof of his statements he should apologize.
and Wolmer acted upon the suggestion.
somewhat ungraciously.
Sexton then declared that the editor OF
the Times should be compelled to apologize
at the bar of the House, and Gladstone
arose aud said that the publication of the
article in question by the Times. In which
corruption was distinctly charged. consti-
tuted breach of privilege.
BalfOur. while making no attempt to de-
fend the Times, advised the House to avoid
a conflict with the press.
The House. however, approved a motion
by Mr.. Sexton that the editor OF the Times
be called to the bar of the House to apollo
gZe for the publication of the article.
Lord Randolph Churchill spoke,when the
debate was resumed on the home rule bill.
The scheme as described. he said, was
vague and unreal. Ireland had been tram
quill for years, and why should Gladstone
persist n hopeless and impossible scheme.
The issue raised by the Premier was virtu-
ally the repeal of the union. Lord Ran
dolph Churchill closed his speech with a
prediction that if the nome rule bill passed
the House the English people would sup
port the Lords in the rejection OF it.
Lord Randolph Churchill spoke in an
acrid, flippant manner. which plainly
irritated Gladstone. Among his most intent
listeners were the Prince of Wales and the
Duke Of York.
After Indifferent speeches from the Irish
members Labouchere spoke briefly. ex-
pressing the opinion that the bill was fairly
satisfactory and Gladstone the greatest liv-
ing master of the fine art of legislation.

for War. also spoke

Cleveland Has Declared
War.
BISSELL AND THE MACHINE.
City Leaders Will Show Fight, but
They Fight Without Any Hope
of Winning.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE politicians Of
this city have little to say about the selec-
ton of Bissel for O place in Cleveland's
Cabinet. and the little that is said by Tam
many men is not favorable. They realize
that the gage of war has been thrown down
and they are not slow to take 1t up. Tam
many has been noted always for never
shirking fight. This time it fights at a
disadvantage, for it realizes at the beginnin q
that it Is fighting without hope so far as the
control of national patronage in this city
and State is concerned.
Wilson S. Bissel, who MIR. Cleveland has
announced will be his Postmaster General,
was formerly law partner of the President
elect. lie was born in New London,
Oneida County, n. Y. forty-fve years
ago, and went 10 Buffalo five
years later with his parents. After
graduating from Yale in the class of 80 he
began the study of law in The Office of Lam
ing, Cleveland & Folsom. in Buffalo. The
junior partner, the late Oscar Folsom, was
the father of the lady who is now Mrs.
Grover Cleveland. Mr.. Bissell was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1871. and a year
later entered the partnership with Bon.
Lyman X. Bass, Mr.. Cleveland joining the
firm in IA. and MIR. Bass retiring two years
later. The firm of Cleveland & Bissell did
very large business. Mr.. Cleveland was
elected Mayor of Buffalo in 1881, but he
remained a member of the firm until he
became Governor the following year. Since
then Mr.. Bissell has been at the head
of the firm. which is now Bissell, Sicard.

NEW MEANS OF WAR.
How the Populists Are to Be Fought
In North Carolina

RALEIGH, Feb. 16.-The Populists were
dumfounded when the Democrats in the
House, by solid vote, passed a bill repeal
ing the charter of the State Farmers ALI
ance. IL will probably pass the Senate
also. The bill is entitled "An act for the
relief of the stockholders Of the State Alli-
ance Business Agency" There is about
$4,000 Of funds, not cent OF which can be
secured by those who contributed il, and
it is openly charged it is about to
be used in the interest of the Peo-
pies party the president of the State
Alliance as we'll as its secretary and busi-
ness agent being extreme members of that
party. A receiver will be asked for imme-
daielv. Most of the fund was contributed
by persons not now alliance men. The bill
introduced was to recharter the alliance, to
be recognized solely in the farmers inter-
est. The officers of the alliance will issue
an address to the members denying that the
business fund is to be devoted 70 political
purposes. The alliance is in straits, having
lost three-fourths of its members, leaving
only $4,000.

the manager Of two small private savings
banks, made an assignment to-day, with
liabilities and assets at about S17, 900 each.
Williams had placed 5000 little cast-iron
savings banks among the working men and
had an arrangement by which once a
month they were to deposit the contents OF
the little banks, which were always re-

3 Tie depositors were then to receive per
cent on all deposits. Williams claims that
disagreement with his cashier caused the
friends of the latter to make run on the
bank and compel him to assign.
He has not been operating for a month,
and none of the holders of the little cast
iron banks had deposited their savings ex-
cept few people who were curious to see
how much they had saved.
AS the matter now stands about 5000 peo-
pie have the castiron banks. which cannot
be opened without Williams key, and he
cannot open them without an order from the
court. The holders of the banks will be
compelled to save their own money until
they are told what they must do with it.

SHED NO BLOOD.
Congressman Reflect Upon Each
Others VeraCity.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-The feature in
the House to-day was the personal collision
between Turpin OF Alabama and Waugh of
Indiana, which. however, was bloodless.
The House resumed, in committee of the
whole, the consideration of the pension ap-
preparation bill. The chair overruled points
OF order raised against various amendments
recommended by the Committee On Appro-
priations, among them those relating to
the transfer of the pension bureau to the
War Department, and 10 soldiers widows.
Burrows appealed from the decision about
the transfer, but the chair was sustained,
103 to 63. After some debate the amend
ment for the tran Dsfer was not agreed to, 80
to % The other amendments were also de-
feated without division.
Then Tarsney referred to the speech
made some days ago by Morse of Massaehu-
setts, in which that gentleman stated that
he (Tarsney) had referred to the pensioners
on the rolls as ruffians, thieves and
scoundreIs. Tarsney said that he never
used such language. and proceeded to ma ke
some unpleasant remarks about men who
falsifed the words of their colleagues.
Morse replied that he had not attributed
to the gentleman any words that had not
been uttered by him as far as he (MOrse) un-
derstood them. By this time the House
fully expected a sensation. and the area in
front of the Speakers desk was crowded
with members.
Then Morse. yielding to TuIpin to ask a
question. brought about a change in the
principles OF the trouble Turpin inquired
of the gentleman from Massachusetts il he
was aware that there stood to-day upon the
pension-rol an ex-soldier drawing $40 a
month for total deafness who was receiving
a salary of $500 a year and who was em-
ployed at the hone? When asked who
this man was, Turpin said that he did not
know whether the man was Democrat or a
Republican, but in the light of his present
surroundings he supposed he was Demo-
crat because he came from the doubtful
State Of Indiana.
81 don't believe your statement unless you
prove it," shouted Waugh, advancing to the
| front.
Turpin replied that the mans name is
| William L. Davis, and Waugh retorted that
| he did not believe the statement was true,
whether Turpln had the name or not
Turpin retorted that Waugh could not say

Hooper Of Indiana and others rushed for

Everybody on the Islands Is Now
AnxiousIy Awaiting Annexation
TO the United States.

Alta little before 3 o'clock this morning
the Belgic steamed Into the Golden Gate
flying the yellow flag.
It appears that on arriving at Honolulu
a man afflicted with smallpox was placed on
shore, and the authorities refused to grant a
clean bill Of health when she sailed the fol-
IOwing day.
As soon as the vessel arrived in the
stream a reporter for The CALL went
alongside, but was not allowed on board,
nor was any communication of any sort
save verbal permitted with the people on
the decks.
The reporter was assured. however. that
everything on the Hawaiian Islands re-
NAMED In much tile same condition
as at last advices. and that the
people of Honolulu were awaiting with
the utmost anxiety to hear that the treaty
OF annexation had been concluded with this
country.
The Belgic left Honolulu on February TO-
having arrived there on the day previous.
On the 5th of February martial law was
suspended on the islands, matters having
taken on much more peaceful
aspect there and the Provisional Govern
ment being satisfied that no further need
existed for extreme measures.
The marines from the Boston, how
ever, we're kept in their barracks.

peace in case there should be any recur-
renee of the critical condition existing at
the time the protectorate was proclaimed
BY Minister Stevens.
The American flag still floats over the
Government buildings. aud Hawaii re-
mains. to all intents and purposes. an
American dependency.
No move Of any sort has been made
in benalf of the party of the
ex-Queen Lliuokalani, and If any
move Is contemplated it is being kept very
quiet. There is a general belief, however,
that her party. if she now have party, has
concluded to accept the inevitable.
The steamer Monowai of the Oceanic line
was to have LETT Honolulu four
bours after the sailing of the
Belgic. and should therefore reach
this port early to-day with fuller advices.
