Speeia! 10 The REcoRD-UNIox.


LONDON, Aug. 30.-The House of Com
mons met at noon to consider the homo
rule bill in its last stage. There was an
exceptionally large attendance. Glad
stone and Morley were enthusiastically
cheered as they entered.
After a number Of amendments were
disposed of without debate, Gladstone
rose, amid a storm Of cheers, to move the
third reading of the bill. He began his
speech with reference to the criticisms
made by the Unionist leaders on histori-
cal procedents that he cited on former oc-
casions for home rule in Ireland. The
opposition, he said, contended that in no
other countries could analogies be found
for changing the union between Great
Britain and ireland. Their contention
could not be supported by historical facts.
In Austria Hungary, Norway and Swe-
den, in the United States and in the Brit
lsh colonies were 10 be found abundant
proofs that it was altogether desirable 10
separate local from imperial affairs.
Throughout European and American lit
erature it is not possible to find a writer
entitled to consideration who has ap-
proved OF the conduct of England toward
Ireland, or attempted to apologize for the
grievous, shameful history, which, since
the union, they had felt compelled to de-
plOre.
Gladstone closed his address as follows:
we have faith in national liberty, faith
III ITS efficacy as an instrument of ma
tlonal education. We believe experience
widespread over the whole vast field
encourages US TO our work at every point.
Finally, we feel that the passing of this
great measure, after more than eighty
! days OF debate, does, Will and must con-
stltute the greatest among all steps hith-
erto provided towards the attainment Of
certain and early triumph"
Prolonged cheers followed from the
Irish and Ministerial benches.
Leonard Courtney lUnionist) then
moved the rejection Of the bill. He spoke
briefly.

A Drug Clerks Method OF Collecting o.
Bill Causes Trouble.
A charge Of assault with deadly wea-
pom appears opposite the name of John
Iindall on the slate at the City Prison.
1t appears that some time ago q man
named Adams, who is doorkeeper at tho
CIunie Opera-house, borrowed SIS from,
I. NJ. Lash, the druggist. Lash assigned
the claim to 1indall, who works for the
druggist. Tindall then proceeded to do
some Slick" work. lie purchased about
SD worth Of bitters that Adams had for
sale, and when the time for paying for
the goods arrived turned the Lash bill
over to him.
Adams is said to have become quite
angry over the manner in which the
Lash claim was collected, and going to
the drugstore took Tindall to task for it.
They quarreled and then came TO blows.
They were separated before any material
damage was done to either. Adams went
after Tindau again yesterday, 1t IS said,
and they clinched again. In the midst o?
the fight IindAli is said 10 have picked up
pestle which was lying near and raped
Adams over the head with it. Adams
then swore out warrant for the arrest or
the drug clerk, and officer Higgins took
him to Jail. TindaH was subsequently,
released on bonds.

Double Hop Kiln Burned to the
Ground.
WHEATLAND, Aug. 30.-Last evening
W. B. Roddan's new double hop kiln was
burned. The fire started in the east kiln,
which had just been turned. 1t is sup
posed that matches which were accident
ally dropped in the hops by pickers were
the cause. Loss $500, partly insured.
The old double kiln, which was connected
by track a hundred and twenty feet
distant, was saved by hard work. There
are yet four kilns on the ranch. The crop
will be cured in season. Picking is in
full blast. The hops are coming down in
good order. Up to date two thousand
bales have been shipped from Wheatland.

WAR ON GAMBLING.

Wheel of Fortune Man Arrested at
Nevada City.
NEVADA, Aug. 30.-No outside gam
blers are in attendance on the district
fair, owing to Sheriff Douglass warning
that he would permit no games to run.
This afternoon he arrested Henry Thomp-
son, local sport, for conducting a wheel
of fortune at the race-track. Thompson
will have a hearing tomorrow. He de-
clares that he will keep the wheel going
in defiance of the Sheriff, and that official
asserts that he will continue to arrest him
each time he starts it. Both sides are de-
termined, and there is considerable ex-
element over the matter

A FARMER ROBBED.
Held Up by a Stranger Whom He Had
Befriended.

STOCKTON, Aug. 30.-Alfred Bissonett,
a farmer living in the foothills above
Lockeford, this county, came into town
this afternoon and reported that he had
been robbed by stranger, whom he had
picked up on the road and given a ride.
Bissonett claims to have lost SIPS. He
says after stopping at a saloon eight miles
from town and treating the stranger, he
took drink in return at the expense of
the unknown man, and resumed the
drive toward town. Two miles down the
road the stranger pulled out long pistol
and compelled Bissonett to throw his
money on the ground. The stranger then
picked up the coin and struck out south
ward through the grain-felds. Officers
followed his trail for several miles and
lost it.

TO PREPARE A TARIFF BILL.

Sub-Committees of the House Who
VIII Have Charge of the Matter.
WAsHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The Demo-
cratic majority of the Ways and Means
Committee were permitted by Chairman
Wilson to meet the Republican members
for the purpose of announcing the sub
committees. Mr.. Wilson announced the
following sub-cOmunittees to have charge
of the several subjects named in the
preparation of the tariff bill:
on Customs-Messrs. Wilson, Whiting,
Breckenridge, Reed and Burrows.
On Internal Revenue-Messrs. McMiI-
lin, Montgomery, Bynum, Hopkins and
Payne.
on Administration of Customs Law
Messrs. Turner, Stevens, Tarsney, Payne
and Geary.
on the Public Debt-Messrs. Bryan,
McMillin, Whiting, Burrows and Dalsell.
On Reciprocity and Commercial Trea-
ties-Messrs. Cochran, Bynum, Tarsrey.
Geary and Dalsell.
After this formal announcement Wilson
gathered his party associates about him
in secret conference, thus renewing the
dark-lantern policy of the Mills commit
tee of the FOrty-rinth Congress. In this
secret conference the question of allowing
hearings upon new schedules was dis
will be held, and it is announced that the
committee will begin its serious work
next week. All this activity by the COM
mittee indicates 4 disposition, now that
the House has disposed OF the immedi-
ately pressing financial legislation before
it, to enter upon the preparation OF a new
tariff bill during the special session of
Congress. The date at which such bill
can be made ready for report to the House
is. OF course, matter OF pure conjecture,
but Chairman Wilson and his associates
are evidently anxious to begin to carry
ont the programme of tariff REFORM" for
which Mr.. Cleveland, in his last message
to Congress, announced that the Demo-
cratic party was pleading.
The most important subcommittee Of
the Ways and Means, that upon customs.
has as its majority members Wilson and
Breckenridge of Arkansas, both pro-
nounced, uncompromising free traders,
and Whiting of Michigan, whose only
interest in the industry lies in his inter-
est in the lumber trade.
Notwithstanding the activity of the
Ways and Means Committee it is safe to
say that the evidences OF Democratic dis
union as shown upon the floor of the
House yesterday and heretofore are such
a. not to produce any definite action
upon so important question as the tariff
until there has been full Democratic
caucus or a new ukase from the White
House.
The condition of the revenues is such
already, under the mere threat of d
purely ad valorem revenue tariff, that
customs thinkers viii be forced to con-
slider how the Government can meet its
current obligation before they can attack
its revenues.

attendance. Pools on this event were
quite lively.
In the running half-mile and repeat the
talent was feeling in the pool-box for the
biggest game, and the first choice was
undetermined in the buys of Charger and
Reginald, first one and then the other be-
ing the favorite. The Judges got onto
the fact that there was suspicion of col
lusion. and warned the rider Of Charger
that he would be ruled completely off if
he did not ride his horse to win. He
won, and several confident buyers of

gruntled.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The silver de-
bate in the Senate is to be made a test of
physical endurance. This, at least, is the
programme which the Senators from the
silver States announce. Teller of Colo
rado says ne brought his winter clothes
with him and will wear them before an
unconditional repeal silver bill passes,
but the Senators from the silver States
seem to stand alone in this determination.
Their opponents say they will not be
aided to any great extent by the free coin
age Democrats. Most of them it is be-
lieved, agreed with Hill, that to tillbuster
on this question would be to lower the
character ofthe Senate and diminish pub
lie respect for its deliberations.
Threats analogous to those ascribed to
the silver men say the anti-silverites have
been heard before in the Senate on other
burning public questions, but somehow
after two or three weeks talk, and at
most two continuous all-night sessions. a
compromise has been reached and an
agreement entered into for vote to be
taken at fixed time.
There is little doubt entertained by the
gold standard men that this viii be the
ltaull III LillS AllSldllCGs NOHOu1u LllO OS-
bate be unreasonably prolonged, the con-
test may be temporarily transferred from
the silver question to an amendment OF
the Senate rules to permit the cloture.
The managers of the anti-silver cam
paign in the House assume that the Sem
ate will pass the Voorhees, bill as a sub
stitute for the Wilson bill, which passed
the House. When the Voorhees, bill comes
over from the Senate it naturally should
be referred to the Committee on Coinage;
but this committee is bitterly hostile to
repeal, so it will not be sent there if it can
be avoided. The gold-standard men think
they have found means 10 eVade this.
Under the new rules, the bill. when re-
ceived, as it does not require considera-
ton in Committee of the Whole, involv-
ing no appropriation, it IS expected a
motion will be made to concur in the
Senate amendment, and the expectation
is the bill will be quickly passed.
