NOTICE OF GAG RULE.
Gladstone Prepares to Push the Home Rule
Bill Through Commons.

LONDON, June 2S.-Mr. Gladstone
made an announcement in the House of
Commons to-day which caused much
JOY among the Irish members and those
of the Radical party who believe that
the time has come for throwing out
many of the amendments to the home
rule bill offered by the opposition for
the purpose of delaying the passage of
the measure. Mr.. Gladstone stated
that tomorrow he would move the
the House to expedite the passage of
the bill. This announcement was greet
ed with cheers by the supporters of the
government. Mr. Gladstone said that
the resolution he proposed to move
would be on the same principle as the
resolution offered in 1887.
After MIR. Gladstone had announced
his Forthcoming resolution, A. j. Bal
four, leader OF the opposition, asked
that the terms Of the resolution be COM
munlcated to the opposition leaders be-
fore they were publicly stated in
the House. With subtle irony
Mr.. Gladstone informed Mr.. Balfour
that the resolution was based on the
proposal made by the Conservatives by
which the crimes act was rushed
through parliament in 1887. This reply
evoked hearty laughter and hurricane
of cheers from the Irish benches. Mr..
Baifour was not at all put out by the
answer, and as Mr.. Gladstone resumed
his seat Mr.. Balfour smilingly bowed
toward him.
When the prime minister was seated
his elated supporters rushed into the
Hobbies where they discussed the gov
ernment's plan. The Irish members
are jubilant. The consensus of opinion
is that some such action could not with
safety be longer delayed. If this action
had not been taken it would not have
been long before there would have been
open revolt instead Of mutterings in the
Irish ranks against the government.

DOLLARS AT So CENTS.
Continued Decline in the Price of Silver
Puts New Value on the Coin.

Continued Decline in the Price of Silver
Puts a New Value on the Coin.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 29.-Secre-
tary Carlisle received numerous callers
to-day, among whom are many mem
bers of Congress. With all of these
the silver question formed the
principal topic of conversation and
the continued decline of the
price of silver was naturally adverted
to. The secretary had received a cable
gram stating that the price of silver was
to-day in London 6S3 cents per ounce,
at which rate the silver dollar as bullion
was worth % cents. Nevertheless the
point was Of course apparent that the
purchasing powar of the silver dollar
with silver bullion at 683 cents per
ounce was as great to- day as it was
when silver was worth 1922 per ounce
and the bullion value of the silver was
90 cents. It should be equally obvious
that this is SO because it is known that
the credit of the United States
is behind its silver money, as it is be-
hind all of its other forms Of money,
and without which none of them except
gold coin and gold certificates would
be worth their par value in
the money markets Of the world.
This fact was several times
emphasized at the last session Of Con-
gress when ex-Secretary Sherman and
others repeatedly declared during the
Senate debates that there was III the
treasury the bullion gold value of every
silver certificate issued by the govern

COVERED HIS EXHIBIT.
Paraguay'S Commissioner at the Worlds
Fair In an Angry Mood.


WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, ILL.,,
June 2S.-Commissioner Hassler, of
Paraguay, has closed that countrys ex-
hibit in the agricultural and forestry
buildings because of an indignity which
he suffered at the hands of Columbian
guard. Pending an adjustment of the
difficulty, the exhibits will be closed.
few days ago Commissioner
Hassler, who was installing an
exhibit in the anthropological building,
told an assistant to take piece of bunt-
ing to another building and have it
made into covering. The guard at the
entrance, following the orders of Prof.
Putnam, refused to allow the man to
take the bunting from the building,
whereupOn Commissioner Hassler
took the package and attempted
to leave the building. He told
the guard he was foreign commission
er, but that did not alter the guards po-
sition and he grabbed the hot-headed
knocked down for his trouble. Other
guards came to the rescue, but fur
Their hostilities were avoided, as
Prof. Putnam's assistant inter
fered. Commissioner Hassler wrote
Mr.. Fearns, chief of foreign af-
fairs, asking that the guard be re-
leased from duty. This was not done,
and as no PREPARATION has been made for
the insult, Commissioner Hassler coolly
closed Paraguay's exhibit. The ex-
position officials disclaim any knowl-
edge Of the affair and Col. Rice,
commander of the guards, said that
he has had no official notification
to remove the offending guard.
Prof. Putnam said that the guards at the
anthropoligical building were instructed
not to allow packages to be removed but
that the officer was supposed to display
some common sense regarding the mat
ter. Commissioner Haasler was very
wrathy when seen this afternoon and
avows that the covers shall remain over
Paraguay's exhibit until the matter is
settled.
CROWDS ON THE GROUNDS.
A bright, clear sky and delightfully."-
cool weather greeted the visitors at the

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, June 2S.-Earlv
this morning the village of Augusta, To-
Gated in the northeastern part of Cal
houn County, and having a population
Of 600, was wiped out by fire. The fire
started about o'clock in Church's
bakery from an over-heated oven and
spread rapidly. Aid was asked from
surrounding towns, and Kalamazoo and
Battle Creek sent engines, but despite
their efforts the flames could no
be subdued. The fire destroyed all the
buildings on both sides Of the main
street, from the depot as far as the park.
Among the buildings there we've fifteen
stores and number of residences.
Many families have been rendered
homeless. The flames spread with such
rapidity that the people had great diff
Guilty to escape. The following places
were burned: Ckurch's bakery, post
office, Cranes meat market, John Law

MORE MINES TO CLOSE.
Iron Trade Frustrated and the Outlook
UnfaVOrabI9.


CLEVELAND, O., June 29-The Iron
Trade Review this week says:
The situation in iron this week is the
close down Of prominent Lake Superior
iron mines and the prospect that the sus-
pension of operation will soon be
almost complete. In pig iron there
is no change. Outside of Chicago
no activity is reported, and with buyers
asking that shipments under contracts be
delayed there Will be further banking clos
ing out. Shipment of Southern iron by
rail to Eastern markets has been much cur
tailed and the increased water movement is
only partial compensation. The length
Of the mill shut-dOwns is the pivot
on which the general market turns
There is no reason on the manufacturers
side for pushing a settlement and early
agreements need not be looked for. While
an easier feeling is reported by certain
banks liquidation is still going on, and the
financial aspects of the situation are upper
most. July dividend disbursements may
further ease matters, but there is still loud
call for a midsummer summoning of Con-
gross.

He Sees Nothing Alarming in the Present
Situation,


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 28.-Congress-
man Bland, the great silver advocate, is
here. "Heroic measures" he said, in
reviewing the silver situation as affected
by the action of the Indian government,
will be required on the part of this
government for the reconciliation
Of silver. Most emphatically /
do not think it is knock
out for silver in this country
On the contrary, I think that if Con-
gress does not adopt some measure look
ing to bi-metallic standard it will make
the battle of standards the coming issue
in this country. This battle will
disrupt political parties and cause a
contest between the commercial cen
tiers and the agricultural districts of
the country. Free coinage OF
silver is demanded by the Iaboring
classes, and this is what free silver men
will now demand of Congress. The de-
monetization of silver is a conspiracy
between the banking institutions of En-
gland and the Eastern portion Of the
United States and the suspension of sill
yer coinage in India is part of
this conspiracy to buHdoze the
COhSICop VI CL1O OhIGCu DCctLCo IuJC
the adoption of the single gold
standard. l do not believe that they
will succeed. If the Democratic Con-
gress stands true to it's pledges this con-
spiracy will not succeed. The low
price of silver is due to the fact that
this and other governments are dis
eliminating against it and that the
money interests of this and other coun-
tries have fought it. No important
commercial country has recently had
mint for the free exchange Of gold and
silver. The effort has been to dam up
silver and prevent it's free exchange in
the commerce Of the nations"
"Can the United States by free coin
age restore silver to it's original value ?"
This was practically admitted by the
British royal commission of 1888, con-
sisting of twelve members, six of them
uncompromising gold monometallists.
They admitted that France alone could
maintain the parity Of the two metalsat
ratio of 153 to l. This country is
stronger in material wealth developed
and undeveloped than France and En-
gland cOmbined'
