LONDON, Feb. I'm the commons this
evening Gladstone said he voiced the feel
lngs OF all parties in rising to propose a
date on which the address should have
precedence until concluded. Then fol-
lowed spirited debate, during which
Healy accused Balfour of obstruction to
government measures, and Gladstone
stated that he would be forced to apply
closure if debate on the address were pro.
tracted. The suggestion of closure met
with disapproval by the Irish members.
Gladstone's motion to give precedence was
finally approved and the debate resumed.
Sir John Gorst, financial secretary of
the treasury In the last Salisbury cabinet.
spoke strongly for Kierhardie's amend
ment.
Mundella, president Of the board of
trade, taunted the opposition with the
suddenness of their solicitude for the
workingman. Mundella announced that
the ministers would regard the vote on
the amendment as a vote of confidence.
The amendment was lost, 276 to 100. The
house then adjourned.
Some excitement was caused in the
course of the day by the disappearance of
the Irish home rule bill. Gladstone missed
bill as well as other measures. After a
long and exciting search it was found in
Gladstone's private room. There is still a
mystery as to how the portfolio go: there.
keir Hardie, Labor member. moved an
amendment expressing regret that the ad-
dress did not mention the widespread
misery among workingmen in Great Brit
ain; that the government should take
steps to alleviate immediate distress bv
ordering workshops throughout the coun-
try to fix the minimum wages at pence
per hour, week to consist of forty-eight
hours. and that all government contracts
be given out in England; also that the
time is ripe for the regulation by law of
hours of railway employees: that the gov
ernment, moreover, should establish home
colonies on unuse land where the unem-
ployed could find an opportunity to earn
their bread.
Howard Vincent, Conservative and fair
trader, supported the amendment.
The result of the debate in the house
this evening has been that ministers de-
cided to apply closure on Friday in case
the address be still under discussion at
that time. The purpose is to clear the way
for the introduction of the home rule bill
next Monday.

King and Queen Of Greece Visit It to
Provide Relief for Poor.
ATHENS. Feb. 6.-The king and queen of
Greece have arrived at Zanse. When the
royal couple landed there was some cheer.
ing, followed by almost complete quiet.
Alter an exchange of greetings between
the king and civil and military authori-
ties, the king and queen drove through
the ruined streets to ascertain the extent
of the damage done by earthquakes.
Thousands of inhabitants followed in
silence the royal carriage. Most of the
churches, for which the city is celebrated,
were wholly or partially wrecked. There
is hardly a fine building on the main
streets left uninjured. Many must be re-
constructed from their foundations before
they can be occupied. No effort has been
made yet TO repair the damage as the
mechanics fear to work in the CITY. and
owners are apprehensive that each dav
may bring another violent shock The
city is shaken daily by light shocks and
inhabitants, who fed the city, fear to re-
turn for more than an hour or so at
time. The royal party will remain on the
island for three days.
ATHENS, Feb. 6.-Despite the hrge
amount OF supplies sent to Zante there are
preparations to send more. The island is
threatened with a general famine. Three
more heavy shocks were fet today. In
one village eighty-five houses were demol-
ished and many lives lost

No change is looked for in the senatorial
bailoting tomorrow, but the faith of the
Alien men in their ultimate success is
firm. Their confidence has grown ma
terially in the last day or two, and
there is good reason for it. The
extremists on the Turner side are
striving to hold their more moderate allies
by arguing that by continuing to vote for
Turner the Allen men will be forced to
agree upon third candidate. But this
argument will not last. The Allen
members propose to stand together
until they elect their candidate. and their
invincibiity will soon make it impossible
to longer keep the Turner members to-
gether In the vain hope of tiring out the
majority. Senator Allen will soon be able
to crafty the Turner authors of the Egg
bert resolutions by returning to Washing
ton, but when he goes he will carry with
him new commissionsfor a six-year term
in the senate.

present at to-dSy's extra session Of the

denouncing the action Of the Chicago
police in refusing to permit the unem-
Dloyed to meet on the lake front last

provoked by the introduction of reso-
luton recommending the passage OF

ratio Of 16 to 1, as one Of the means Of

mand of the Pope.
BALTIMORE, ND. December Is. The
Pope's, latest encyclical dated Rome,
November 13, 1898, has been received
by Cardinal Gibbons. In summarizing
it the Cardinal said: 1t strongly rec
ommends the earnest study OF the
sacred scriptures to ciergymen aud
students, and the study OF eastern Ian
guages, those in which the text was
originally written with a view tU the
better understanding OF the text OF the
scripture in order to meet the oojec-
tIous OF adverssries OF the scriptures.
Leo XIII exhorts the priesthood OF
the Catholic church and In particular
its patrsrchs, archblshops and bishops,
TO whom the pontificial epistle Is
addressed, to study the BIZ
BILE. Two principal reasons
impel the Pope to take this step. The
one is his desire to see this glorious
source OF revelation more safely and
more abuudantly opened for the use OF
the Lords flock" The other Is his un-
willingness to tolerate that the same
should In any way be violated by those
who either by implous daring, openly
attack the sacred writing or imprudent-
ly are scheming new and fallacious doc
trines.
The writer warns the preachers OF
the whole Catholic church against pre-
ferrlng to use their own rather than
Gods word and wisdom and severely
inveighs against the abuse and lack OF
biblical study and research.
