HOME RULE TOR IRELAND.
Debate in the Commons on the
Measure.
THE CLOTURE is ADOPTED.
Amendments Proposed by Chamberlain
Are Defeated.
Gladstone Holds That the Bill Before the
House Was in Particular Form, and
the Government Only Had a
Right to Vary Therefrom.

LONDON, May SIN the house Of com.
mons today Gladstone stated, in reply to
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, that he would
propose that the ninth clause of the Irish
home rule bill would be retained without
alteration. This clause provides for the
retention of Irish members in the impe-
rial parliament.
The speaker ruled that instructions to
the committee in the home rule bill,
offered by Lord Randolph Churchill and
others with view of defeating the bill,
were out of order.
The house then went into committee on
the bill. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain
moved to postpone clause one of the bill,
which simply provided that on and after
an appointed day there should be legis-
lature in Ireland. Chamberlain said it
was his intention to move postpone
ment of every clause up to clause nine, in
order to begin a discussion of the bill
with the most important proposals. The
house, he said. had a right to know
whether the government meant to ad
here to the main points of the bill, other
wise the house might at any time find
new bill sprung upon them.
| Gladstone replied that he declined to
allow Chamberlain to reserve to himself
their order. The bill before the house
was in particular form, and the govern
ment alone had right to indicate yaria-
tions from that form.
Hon. A. w. Balfour charged Gladstone
with concealing how he designed to ar
range the representation of Irish mem
bers at Westminster until he should find
time more propitious for revealing it.
! j. w. LoWther and other uniOnlsts con-
| tinued to talk in strain similar to that
of their leaders, while the Irish nation
alists cried ''divide.'' Lowther, who is
relative of Lord Salisbury. accused Tim
othy Healy Of leading organized dis
order.
Healy replied that the statement was
untrue. The disorder was on the other
side. Chairman MeIlor put an end to the
squabble by calling the disputants to
order. Chamberlain amendment was
rejected, 270 to 213.
Charles J. Darling, Conservative, pro-
posed to amend clause by reafhrming
the supremacy OF parliament in local as
we'll as imperial matters.
Gladstone opposed the motion for the
reason that the supremacy of parliament
was asserted sufficiently in the preamble.
During the debate on the amendment
the electric light went out and the debate
was shortened. After six hours had been
talked away Morley, chief secretary of
Ireland, moved the cloture, which w as
carried by vote of 243 to 1875. The
amendment was then lost by vote OF 2S5
to 233. The mOnOtony of useless motions
and divisions was resumed, and the sit
ting dragged uneventfully to adjourn
ment at midnight.

Sketches of the Career of

WASHINGTON, May Especial. Hard
work at the last moment secured the APP
pointment of Nat Brigham for marshal of
Utah. which was made today. On Satur
day it was generally believed that Lett
would be appointed. The president talked
that way for days, and indeed seemed
anxious to give him the place, but Gov
ernor Russell of Massachusetts, and ex-
Congressman Cable of Illinois, who were
classmates at college with Brigham, sue
ceeded in procuring the appointment for
him.
On Saturday Mr.. RawIins believed
from what had been told him that Lett
would be appointed.
Exum, of Ogden, who has been here
for several days, had no chance. he
stated today that Judge Powers did moi
endorse him, but said he would have
done so if he had not been for Lannan
and that he might endorse him in the end

EXECUTIVE ORDER.
The President Requests once Seekers to
Stay Away from Him.

The President Requests once Seekers to
Stay Away from Him.
WASHINGTON, May 8.-The following
has been issued by the president for pub
licatlon:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, May 8, 1893.
That the rules heretofore promulgated reg
ulating interviews with the president having
wholly failed in operation the time, which under
these rules is set apart for the reception OF
senators and representatives Is almost entirely
spent in listening to applications for office which
have been bewildering In volumes perplexlng
and eXhausting in iteration, and impossible OF
remembrance. Due regard for public DUTY,
which must be neglected II present conditions
continue and the observance OF limitations
placed upon human endurance, obl1ge
me TO decline from and after this
date all personal interviews with those seek
ing appointments to office, except as I, on my
own motion may especially invite them. The
same considerations make it impossible for
me to receive those who merely come to pay
cir respects, except on days and during hours
especially designed for that purpose ear
neStly request senators and representatives to
aid me in securing for acknowledgement inter-
views by declining to introduce their constit-
uents and friends when visiting the executive
mansion during the hours designed for their re-
ception. Applicants for office will only pre-
JUDGE their prospects by repeated importantly
and by remaining at Washington to await re-
suits.
The presidents order closing the White
House to Office seekers formed the chief
topic for conversation among the poll
ticians today. Expressions regarding it
were varied in character according to the
condition of the speaker. Senators and
representatives with large and active
constituencies were inclined to favor it as
they are relieved from a great deal oil
pressure from importuning followers.
Politicians say the order will have an
effect of making a close corporation OF
the patronage system and the president
will be debarred from hearing the voice
of the people on the fitness of candidates.
In opposition to these opinions it is
urged that the president has borne with
patience the personal solicitation of the
people for two months and that as a mat
ter of fact the personal presence of appli-
cants is seldom necessary. 1t is agreed
that denial OF personal interviews does not
cut off the right of citizens to make en-
dorsements or put forward candidates.
Il is stated on the best of authority that
the order of the president was decided at
the cabinet meeting last Friday The
president said he now had more import
ant business which demanded his atten-
ton than he had during the entire four
years of his previous administration. To
these matters he had no time to devote
himself on account of crowds of men con-
tinually demanding his time to impor-
tune him for positions. The time for fu-
man endurance had come to an end anC
something had to be done.

drew Jackson Borden and stepmother
Abbie Durfee Borden, was arraigned this
afternoon in the supreme court. The au-
thorities sought to keep the arraignment
quiet and preserved the utmost secresy.
However great may have been her men,
tai sufferings during her imprisonment,
she carried no outward sign OF them.
When the ripple of excitement which
marked her entrance into court subsidized,
the district attorney moved that Miss
Borden be arraigned and tn clerk of the
court read slowly and solemnly three in
dictments of two counts each.
Two of them charged her with the MUIR
der of Andrew j Borden and Able Duriee
Borden separately, and the third charged
her with the murder OF both. At the end
of each Indictment she replied clearly,
calmly and steadily, "Am not guilty. :"
Court then adjourned and Miss Borden
was taken back to Taunton where she
will be imprisoned till her trial.

THOSE OGDEN DISPATCHES.
What Was Wired to Mr.. RawIins, and
How He Replied.


How he Replied.
OGDEN, May ESPECIAL. Political
circles IN Ogden were thrown on their
beam end by the announcement that Del
egate Rawlins had sent in his resignation.
Little else was discussed on the streets to-
day. 1t seems, from the adyices received,
that the Ogden Democrats contributed
materially to the disappolntments which
caused Mr. Rawlins to resign, although
just why the local members of that party
are unable to say. It is true that dis
patch asking the delegate to support Mr..
Richards for the secresaryship was sent
by about fifty prominent Democrats, and
in reply Mr., Rawlins stated that he was
devoting himself to a search for a house
and was not looking after offices, but that
the indications pointed to the appoint
ment OF Richards.
Another dispatch was sent by dis
gruntled office seeker of this city, in
which he said:
II you succeed in defeating Richards, Ogden's
aud northern Utah's choice, you are ruined
politically, and L am authorized to bet you
$4,000 thatyou will not be reelected.
Mr.. Rawlins sent back the following
reply:
Ihave received your telegram and hundreds
of Others 1 am tired and disgusted; my pa
tienoe and patriotism are exhausted. The Offices
can 20 to hell,

WITHHOLD CRITICISM.
Mr. Johnson's Suggestion Concerning the
Resignation of Delegate RawIins.


Resignation of Delegate Rawlins.
As regards J. L. Rawlins and his res
ignation, l desire, Mr.. Editor, to suggest
through the columns of THE HERALD to
the people of Utah, and especially to
Democrats, the propriety and importance
of withholding unfriendly criticism of
the action of Mr.. Rawlins in suddenly
resigning the Office to which he was so
recently called by large plurtllty of the
voters of Utah, until we can learn from
him the reason which Influenced his ac-
ton. / regard it as impossible for any
one to form a correct Judgment from the
dispatches at present in print, as to
whether Mr. Rawlins is justified or not,
in so soon abandoning the field to which
he was called by the people. l regret to
learn that in some quarters there seems
TO be disposition to condemn, unheard,
Mr.. Rawlins for making a vacancy in the
Office of territorial delegate. 1t occurs to
me that such condemnation is not just;
for various reasons it seems to me that
we ought not to censure or condemn that
gentleman, at least until he has been
heard from.
It is not likely that he took the step
without being in possession of facts con-
shutting in his judgement reasons suffi-
GENTLY strong to justify the act.
Let us therefore, wait and see, before
blaming a man whom we all believe to be
honest and capable.
And while asking in his behalf this
small need of justice, 1 also ask that
adverse criticism be also withheld to-
wards President Cleveland regarding al
legations concerning him as related in
late special dispatches to the Tribune;
such allegations may do that gentleman
injustice and l will suggest, in conclu-
sion, that future developments may es-
taolish the fact that both gentlemen have
been misrepresented in regard to this
sensational affair. Very respectfully,
HADLEY d. JOHNSON.

nection.
Mr.. Norrell was apparently as happy as
a clam last evening, and not at all discon-
certed by the selection of another man for
the marshalship. He is just as good
Democrat today as yesterday and takes his
defeat with good grace.
The selection of Judge Smith to be as
sosiate justice and Mr.. Brigham for the
marshalship are looked upon as admira-
bic appointments, not only by Demo,
Gratis, but by those of opposite political
faith and a few expressions of approval
are given below:
Judge Anderson-I do not think better
selection for the judgeship could have
possibly been made. Judge Smith is q
gentleman of education and refinement
and very able lawyer, and l think he
will make good Judge.
Judge Henderson-The appointment of
Judge Smith is a good one-elegant-ele
CANT. Brigham is a good man and will
make good marshal. Iwould have been
glad myself if Mr.. Benton had been asked
to resign and the appointment made to
take effect at the end of the official year,
which would have been the last of June.
H. M. Bacon-Brigham suits ME well
enough. He is energetic, straightfor-
ward and capable and will make a good
marshal.
Martin Lannan, one of the Tuscarora
candidates for the marshalship, came up
smiling. s'The appointment suits me,
and / am still Democrat. l realize that
| there were twenty-five candidates and
| twenty -four OF them were doomed to de-
feat, but am not the kind of a Democrat
| to sulk because | did not get 1t. -
| d. 9. Dunbar, who has been one of the
most interchangeable workers in Mr.. Brig
hams behalf, was IN high feathers. 81
had no ak to grind in this appointment, -
said he, "but Brigham is one OF my clos
est friends, and was almost as anxious
that he should get it as he was himself. "
| Judge Powers-The appointment OF
Brigham is q tirst-class one. He is a
high-minded man and one who will make
conscientious and efficient public
| officer. II Mr.. Smith carries to the bench
his natural ability and that which he has
acquired from the study of the law, and
becomes a Judge and in no sense a
partisan, I shall gladly say that his ap-
pointment is equally good one.
Judge Bennett am inclined to think
that the nominations made today are
very good ones. Mr.. Smith is an excel
lent lawyer, and Mr.. Brigham is a very
bright and capable young man, with a
clean record.
]. K. Gillispie-Nat Brigham's appoint
ment is good one. I don't know much
about Kentucky Smith.
George 3. Blair-Nat Brigham is first.
class man, and will discharge his duties
faithfully and well. l believe that Ken
lucky Smith will fill the high position tc
which he has been appointed to the salts
faction Of the people.
United States Marshal Benton returned
yesterday from trip to Beaver. With
regard to Nat Brigham's appointment he
said in his usual jocund way: sThat's
good, but it is q little tough on the boys
here at home. am ready to step down
and out any minute.'
Mr.. Brigham is now in Washington
but it is expected that he will start fol
home Immediately.

THE WHITE CITY.
Attendance on Yesterday Was Unusually
Large.

Large.
CHICAGO, May S.-Day dawned bright
on the ''White city, and prospects for
decidedly increased attendance during the
current week, compared with that OF last,
seems very good indeed. People began to
come on the grounds early, and before
noon it was evident that the day s attend
ance would be quite large. President
Higginbotham entertained the visiting
naval officers in an elaborate lunch at IL
O'Clock.
* The feature of the day in official circles
| of the Worlds fair was an effort OF Phoebe
Cousins to abrogate the action OF the
| board of lady managers In adJourn1ng
sine die. She appeared before the ma
tional commission but a point OF order
was made against her and she was ordered
to present the matter in writing. The
reports of the committees directed to in
| spect several departments, were received.
Most of the commissioners asked for fur
| ther time; others made verbal statements.
Most of the exhibits of the agricultural
building will be in position by the end of
this week. The executive committee on
awards submitted report favoring a
Judge in place OF jury.
| The Sunday closing matter, brought up
when Commissioner Heindley, Of Ala
bama, offered resolution that the COM
| mission regards the rule which required
| the gates to be closed Sunday as binding
and final determination of the subject,
| both in law and fact.
| At the close an animated and prolonged
debate of matters became so involved that
the resolution was withdrawn, but quiet
reigned for moment only, as Commits
sioner Way, of Georgia, offered resolu-
| tion that the commission having passed
| upon the matter, it could not be brought
up again. After debate, this resolution
was also withdrawn.
Commissioner Forsythe of California
complained that domestic wines were not
Ireceiying fair treatment on the grounds,
particularly California products, owing
to exorbitant prices and offered a resOlu-
ton that q committee be appointed to in
vestigate After brief debate the reso-
luton was referred to the committee on
horticulture.
Washington state day, which was to
have been May II, has been postponed till
sometime in June, owing to the unfn-
ished condition of the state building.
A magnificent display was witnessed by
thousands of visitors at the fair tonight
when the whole electrical force stored
within the grounds was turned on, max
ing one of the grandest electrical illumI-
nations ever seen in this country. Thous-
ands of electric lights CLEANED from al
most every creviee of the administration
agricultural, electrical, manufacture S
and liberal art buildings. Electrical
fountains sparkled in myriads of colored
lights.

II. w. Kentuckxl smith.

H. W. Smith was born in Hickman
county, KY, on the 18th day of August,
1857. He was reared on farm and edu-
Gated in the common schools of Hickman
and Graves counties, and attended the
High school at Milburn in Ballard county,
KY. At the age of II he began teaching
school and continued that vocation for
three years, after which he was engaged
for one year in merchandising at Love-
laceviIle, KY, when he commenced the
study of law in the Office of Grassland &
Smith at Blandville. KY, and was adj
mitted to practice on the 10Th day OF July,
1878.
Shortly after his admission he formed a
partnership with z. w. Bugg IN the prac-
tice of law at Blandville, Ky, which con-
tinued up TO the month of November,
1881. when owing to the loss Of his home
and property by fire, Mr.. Smith removed
to the west and located at Malad City,
Ida, where he resided three years. From
that point he removed to Blackfoot, Ida. :,
where he remained little over two years,
from which place he removed to Ogden
and settled there the first of July, 1887.
Ever since his admission Mr.. Smith has
been engaged actively in the practice of
his profession. He has never held any Of
flee, except territorial legislator. He
was twice elected to the legisla-
tive council in the territory of
Idaho, serving in the thirteenth and four
tenth sessions of the legislature. He
was chairman of the judiciary committee
in both sessions, and was largely instru-
mental in procuring a revision of the
statutes in the territory of Idaho. In
| April, 1885, he was admitted to practice
in the Supreme Court of the United States,
and was also regularly admitted in the SUI
preme courts OF Idaho. Utah, Nevada and
Kentucky.
Mr.. Smith is brother of Robert B.
Smith of Montana, who was district at
torney of the territory of Montana during
Mr.. Cleveland's entire first term OF

Utah has received her full share of at

and all of the more important federal APP
pointments that were expected to be made
at this time have now been announced.
The public had been looking for Judge
Blackburn head to fall for a month. and
those who were best informed knew that
Hon. H. w. Smith was leader in the
race, strong petitions for his appointment
having been sent in by the members OF
the bar of this city, Provo and Ogden.
The appointment of successor to
United States Marshal Benton came rather
sooner than was generally anticipated, as
the term did not expire until July, but
there seems to be no disposition to COM
plain on this score. There were twenty
| five applicants for this Office, but the real
contest had narrowed down to Hon. A. g.
Norrell and Nat M. Brigham. Colonel
Lett has never been a candidate for the
office, although persistent Efforts have
been made to make it appear that he had
entered the race. It is true that he was
urged by friends to file his application
but he refused to do so, or to consent

Nat NJ. Brigham.

Nat Maynard Brigham is of old Massa-
chusetts. puritan stock, and was born in
Natick, Mass, 36 years ago. His father
was one of the first of the Massachu-
sets volunteers to fall in the civil war,
leaving a family of three children, the
oldest scarce six years of age. The wild
owed mother, with only fair estate,
faced the responsibilities of rearing and
educating her children, with that stoicism
for which the women of New England
have been noted. The family was well
connected, and the children, after receiv-
ing good educations, were advanced to
desirable positions. The subject OF this
sketch early manifested great thirst for
learning, and made splendid progress In
the schools and university OF that vicin-
ity. He entered Harvard in 1876 and dur
ing the last three years of his term at
Cam bridge, he won fame on the 60 'Varsi-
ty crew. T" He graduated with magnifi-
cent honors, and afterwards engaged with
Mr.. Baird, collector of the Boston port
and relative of Mr.. Brigham.
A restless longing to see the grandeur
of the great west brought Mr.. Brig
ham to Omaha in 1884, where
he was associated with the Omaha
Real Estate and Trust company during
the great ''boom'' of the muddy city. He
visited Salt Lake city in 1889, and was at
once charmed with the prospects and out
look here. Returning few months later
he took up his permanent residence in
this city, entering into partnership with
Mr.. 7. J. Macintosh in the oil business
While at Harvard Mr.. Brigham became
warm friend of Governor William E.
Russell, Josiah Quincy, Sherman Hoar
and other Harvard students who have
since attained eminence in the politica
and business world. These friends usec
their influence in Mr.. Brigham's behal
in bis fight for the marshalship, but much
of the credit is due to the unfiinchine
support OF Hon. Ben T. Gable, who wai
chairman of the western division of TIT
Democratic national committee, In thu
campaign of last fall.
