LONDON, February 15.--Long before tho
hour when Mr. Gladstone was expected to
offer the home rule bill the house OF COM
mons and the galleries we're crowded to the
full limit. Justice Harlan, OF the supreme
court Of the United States, and Minister
Robert 4. Lincoln were in the diplomatic
gallery.
From Mr.. Gladstoue's residence to the
palace yard the streets were packed with
shouting crowds, to do honor to the premier.
When MIR. Gladstone arose OF $40 p. m.
to introduce the home rue bill there was an
othor demonstration 30 earnest, 30 enthusi-
astic and irrepressible that 1t was several
minutes before he could be heard. His
speech held the crowded house In close at
tention until o'clock.
Mr.. Gladstone reviewed the history of tho
measure, showing that Ireland has ever had
majority of iour.ffths or more favoring
home rule and since 1856, when the major
ity IN parliament adverse to home rule was
2ll, conversion to home rule had 80 far
gained as that the adverse majority was now
but Il.
He then gave synopsis of the features Of
the bill.
The object Of the bill remained MS in 1886,
to establish legislative body in Dublin for
the conduct OF both legislation and admin
istration IN Irish as distinct from imperial
affairs, The limiting conditions which
were then observed and had since been sedu-
lousy and closely observed were these;
First-Imperial unity is observed and tho
equality of all is observed.
Second-The equality Of all the kingdoms
would be borne in mind.
Thhd-rhero would DO equitable repara-
ton Of imperial charges.
Fourth-Any and every practicable pro-
vision for the protection of mnorites would
be included. The plan proposed ought 10
be such as to present the necessary charac-
terstics of real and continued settlement.

After Court Fees.

GUTHRIE, o. T., February 14.-The terri.
torial legislature has passed resolutions de-
nouncing in vigorous terms the outrageous
abuse Of settlers in the new lands by deputy
marshals, who arrest men for cutting timber
for fuel or building house, dragging them
several hundred miles and throwing them
into jail, SIMPLY to get their fees and mile
age, and calling upon tho attorney general
OF the United States to stop the outrage.
Men travelling through the country on
trains are arrested because they have flask
OF whisky.
During the recent cold weather scores Of
people travelling through the Cherokee strip
were arrested because they cut little tim
her to make fire to keep them from freez-
ing. Dozens of Indians, who cannot speak
or understand a word of English, are
brought in from the reservation, and in-
duced to plead guilty to trivial oifenses 80
the deputies can get fees, when the Indians
are innocent and have no idea what the pro.
needings mean.

The Injunction.

In the morning of the official publication
of the Legislative appropriation bill many Of
the members and officers of the legislature
presented their warrants and received their
pay.
At about II o'clock Judge Ha2en, of the
Shawnee county district court, granted the
restraining order to prevent Treasurer Bid
die from paying out any money under the
act and TO prevent Auditor Prather from
issuing any warrants under said act. Sheriff
WilkeTson appeared In the auditors Office
and read the injunction to Mr.. Prather,
and five minutes later he performed the same
duty in the tIeasurer's Office. Both Mr..
Prather and Mr.. Biddle stated that they
would refuse to obey the order of the court,
not recognizing that district court had
jurisdiction over a state office; but after
hasty consultation with Attorney General
Little, they decided to discontinue the issu-
ance and payment of vouchers.
All Tuesday night Ben Rich and his men
had occupied the auditors Office and assisted
his force in preparing the warrants to DO
issued the moment the Capital was out in the
morning containing the official publication
of the act. As soon as old blind Jesse made
his appearance on the streets with the Cap
ital, at o'clock in the morning. the popu-
lists began TO receive their warrants at the
hands of Auditor Prather's force. Every
member and officer of the populist house
and the senate was notified to be on hand
early, and a majority of them obeyed the

ReoeIved hv the presIdent


WASHINGTON, d. C., February 13.-AR
members of the cabinet were present at the
meeting, which lasted nearly an hour. The
principal topic discussed was the action of
Minister Stevens in establishing a proteoto.
rate over the islands. It iRnot believed any
action will be taken approving or disapprOv-
ing Of Mr.. Stevens action until the day be-
fore the departure of the steamer from San
Francisco.
Secretary Foster had previously held a
prolonged interview with the Hawaiian COM
missioners.
Arrangements we're made at the cabinet
meeting for their reception by the president,
which we're later carried out.
With regard to the story to the effect that
Queen Lillukalani is willing to abdicato and
withdraw all claims upon the payment OF
indemnity by the United States 1t may be
said, that this government in the event OF
it's assuming control of the islands, will
doubtless provide for her and the young
princess, there will be no provision made for
indemnlfying her for any OF the crown prop
erty of which she may be dispoSessed by the
annexation.
Secretary Foster said that action was nee
essary upon Minister Stevens act, yet, n
view of the lmpossibilty of reaching him
other than by mail communication, imme'
diate action IN the premises would not hc
necessary.

Recommends Annexation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 1.-THE
president sent message to the senate recon-
mending the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands. 1t was accompanied by the treaty
of annexation concluded between the secre-
tary of state and the Hawaiian commission
ers, and mass of correspondence relating
to the question at issue. The treaty is brief,
providing merely for lhe annexation of tho
islands under the present provisional gov
eminent, and leaving the details of perma-
nent form of government, ETC., to the action
If congress. The correspondence is very
voluminous, going back many years, and
gives complete history of the islands as far
as negotiations with the United States are
concerned.
The message of the president and the cor
respondence was received in executive SEES
sion with attention such as no message from
the president has received in recent years.
There was no debate beyond few questions
directed to the chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, but every word was care
fully weighed and the message and treaty
met with almost general approval.

The republican house Of representatives at

their errand and then accepted an invitation

was over and the party came out OF the din
ing room, tho hotel and surrounding space
was filled with pOpulists, assembled toTescuO
their chief clerk. Tho three officers and Mr..

but were separated several times on the way,
by the mob under the lead of Breidenthal.
Yet, II seemed that Rich and his vile would

continued until the party were several blocks

Meantime Rich, and party, went to the

Az 1880 Wednesday evening Governor
Lewelling went to representative hall and
addressed the members OF the house. lie
introduced his address by saying that no had
come to inform them that no should dis
perse them by military force unless they
vacated the hall peaceably.
He then urged the house to surrender the
custody of the hall into his hands without
conditions.
Speaker pro tenn Hoch asked the governor
if it would not be fair, If any side abandon
the hall, that both sides abandon it until
decision is reached during the tendency OF
tho contest.
The governor replied by refusing to dis
cuss such condition. He then referred TO
the statements 30 generally made that the
republicans had been anxious to have bill
nassed that the contest might be brought
into court. and referred to the appropriation
bill, which had been passed, as giving inns
opportunity; again urging surrender OF
the hall to him.
Representative Greenee then asked the
governor If he would regard the decision OF
the supreme court as a final settlement OF
the difficulty; which tho governor refused 10
answer
= After Leweling had left the hall citizens
committee, composed of Ex-Governor Thorn,
as A. Osborn, DIR. Peter McVicar 7. e. Noel
and L. Bennett, took the speakers stand.
Governor Osborn advised resistance up to
the point of bloodshed, but that the house
should surrender and vacate if physically
overpowered, without hesheddlng of blood.
Douglass and Hoch then gave Instructions,
the principal point being that no personal
indignity to q deputy should cause him TO
use fire arms; but that surrender would not
y, thought of until overcome by armed force.
