Some Caustic Comments From the
Liberal Side That the Tories
Did Not Like.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

LoNDoN, March 20.-In the Commons TO-
day William Johnston, Conservative men,
Der OF Parliament for South Belfast, one of
the most earnest and uncompromising
Ulster Orangemen, asked Chief Secretary
Morley whether 1t was true that the Gov
ernment was hiring mills in Ulster to
accommodate troops. 1000 of whom were
going to the province, and what was the
reason for the precautions. Morley replied
that he would give the reasons when he
knew the statements TO he true, but the fact
was that they were entirely untrue.
[Laughter]
Gibson Bowles, Conservative member Of
Parliament for Kingslinn. and who is
known as leading newspaper man, called
attention to the subject of the Bering Sea
arbitration. He urged that it involved a
question OF the freedom OF the high seas
and such a question ought not to be sub
mitted to arbitration. England, he con-
tinued. had never succeeded under arbitra-
ton. because England had not a single
friend among the European powers. There
were advantages in war as leading usually
to lasting settlements, and war usually left
sentiments of mutual respect between the
c0mbatants. II the country was unable 10
protect the high seas and had to coerce its
great colony on such proDostiOn, all the
dispatches the Foreign Office could issue
would not hide the fact that the greatness
OF England had gone.
Sir Edward Gray replied that such re-
marks were singularly inopportune, seeing
that the arbitration relating to Bering Sea
was now proceeding.
W. A. Hunter Liberal member Of Parlia-
mani for harIuat hot la III,
of Bowles contained an attack upon the
party that had agreed to arbitrate the
Bering Sea issue. Lord Salisbury was very
weak, Hunter said, in dealing with strong
power, and scandalously strong in dealing
with weak power. These remarks of
Hunter were evidently not relished by the

That the Naronic is at the bottom of the

to be that they are treated as if they were
Of no more Importance than any common
citizen not elected to represent the people :;
that they are told that their recommends
tiOns do not count for much unless backed
up by documentary evidence that the people
for whom they claim to speak actually
want just what they the congressman say
they do. and some even say that they are
treated as if under an Indictment, or at least
under suspicion Of being frauds.
Another complaint made in whisper is
that Mr.. Cleveland is too exactng with
them, and demands an exhibition of un-
selfish and patriotic principle In excess of
ANYTHING demanded by their constituents.
Que Senator, 1t is declared, was given
lecture for having appointed his son a clerk
to the Senate Committee OF which ne has
just been made chairman. Mr.. Cleveland

Of that sort indicated that he regarded his
own selfish interest as more to be consid-
cred than the good of the service, and that

not have much weight as to the appoint

IN THE SENATE.
Grave Errors Made in the Enrolment

of Bills.
WASHINGTON, March 2o.-The numerous
errors that have come to light in the enroll
ment Of the great appropriation bills at the
last session formed the subject for discus
sion in the Senate to-day. More than ninety
such errors were stated by Hale to have
been scoyered by him in the naval appro.
priation bill alone.
Mcpherson offered a resolution, which
was referred to the Committee on Fluca
tion and Labor, directing the Commis sioner
of Labor to make a report at the opening of
the Fifty-thrd Congress comprehending
the facts as to the total cost in the produc-
ton Of various iron and steel products. such
as bar iron and steel rails, and of the leading
articles of the textile industry and other
articles, the cost of which may be approx
imately obtained.
Chandler offered a resolution, which was
referred TO the Committee on Epidemic
Diseases, directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to ascertain and report at the first
session of the next Congress the value of
the real and personal property belonging
to any State or municipal government,
designed or used for quarantine purposes,
and the prices at which such property may
be purchased by the United States.
In discussing the errors in enrolled bills,
German said that the appropriation
bills had never been so delayed as at the
last session. Two or three OF the great ap-
preparation bills were delayed in the last
two days Of the session by the useless dis
cussion Of other matters. The result has
been that when the bills went to the House
10 be enroll ed there was not sufficient time
to have the work properly done. He ad-
mitted that there had been great careless
ness. Still. the fact remained that il the
Senate clock had shown standard time the
naval appropriation bill, even in its i'm
perfect form, would not have been pre-
sented for the signature of the President.
1t was a lesson which he trusted no
Senator would forget hereafter. 1t
was to be regretted that so many errors
had occurred but it was wonder there
were not still more.
