HIS EXPLANATION.
SPEAKER GOULD SETS HIMSELF
Alright.
Reasons why He Thinks His Rulings
on the Ford Bill Were
Proper.

When the Ford hydraulic mining bill
passed the Assembly last week hard feel
ings ere entertained by the valley rep
resentatives against Speaker Gould for
the hasty manner in which he made
rulings on the question when it was un-
der consideration: Messrs. Anderson and
Owen openly protested against the
course he pursued.
In the Assembly yesterday morning
the Speaker read the following, which is
self-explanatory:
"Mr, Anderson desires to amend the
! journal in order to act upon the question
| of the third reading of Senate Bill No. so,
the notorious Ford bill. he eudeavored to
address the Chair, and the Chair ruled
| his discussion out of order. Shall the
amendment be made?
"In order 10 determine this question,
the history of the measure will have to be
! considered ON March lst the bill was
read a second time, and an amendment
offered by Mr.. burst, an opponent of the
! bill, at which time Mr.. burst addressed
| the Assembly at length on his proposed
amendment, and, finally, by the inter-
vention of special order, further con-
! sideration was cut of until a subsequent
| time. on March I'd the matter again
came up, and Nlr. Burst took the floor in
! behalf of his amendment, addressed the
! Chair for the ten minutes allowed by the
rules, and was cut of by point of order.

| batting the question, moved the previous
question, which was seconded by fully a
| dozen members, and the previous ques-
ton was ordered by a very large ma jor-
| ity. The vote on the amendment was 10
ayes and 53 noes.
"The question then was Shall the bill
be ordered to a third reading?' and at
this juncture Mr.. Anderson desired to
discuss the bill. Mr.. Shanahan raised
the point of order that the bill could not
be discussed on this question and that the
previous question had been ordered. The
Chair ruled his point of order well taken
for both reasons.
This being a Senate bill the question
OF being ordered to a third reading was
entirely matter OF form, which the Chair
during the whole session has held Afforded
only an opportunity TOR amendments and
q discussion upon them, and 1t IS we'll
established parliamentary rule that upon
the ordering OF the previous question TO
an amendment all new amendments are
cut oil and the House Isl brought to a vote,
not only upon all pending amendments,
but upon the main question, and If the
order to a third reading be question at
all, that was the question then ending,
and the Chair so ruled.

Speaker to the President of the Senate,

ALUMNI REGENTS.

The bill which provides that hereafter
University Regents shall be selected from
the alumni only came up for final pas
sage in the Senate yesterday morning.
DIR. Simpson spoke at length in favor of
the bill. He was not so much in favor
of seeing the alumni running the Univer-
sity as he was to see a change from the
present methods, and he favored the
measure in the hope that that change
would be brought about. What he had
objection to at present was the alleged
fact that too much religion was INDUCED
in at the University and not enough at
tention paid to the curriculum. The
students were being taught all
sorts of Salvation Army songs, and the
professors were conducting regulation
Bible classes. The Senator said he was a
believer in religious teaching, but he
thought State institution was the wrong
place for it. He hoped that if the bill
passed the alumni Regents would make
the change he desired.
Senator Bailey was in favor of the bill,

The Philadelphia Times describes with
an air of veracity as unique perform
ance as can be witnessed in any country
of civilization. 1t is the so called
snake roundup" of the huckleberry
pickers in the Hominy hills, New Jersey.
1t is we'll known that huckleberry bushes
and snakes thrive together. When,
therefore, huckleberries are in their
prime, snakes are in their prime, too,
some of them venomous snakes. The
roundup" is for the purpose of driving
them into an open space and killing
them with dogs, guns or by hand. One
girl in the Hominy hills, known as big
Sallie Morgan. catches serpent by the
tail and cracks it like whip lash, snap
ping its head off.
An open space is selected in the
huckleberry region. The leader of the
party climbs the highest tree near it,
and from this vantage ground looks
down upon the snake hunters. Men,
boys, dogs and q few women station
themselves at four points within radius
of n quarter of mile of the central space,
each separate party under a leader who
directs their movements. There is a
medicine considered powerful for draw
ing serpents. The old experienced ones
call it snake oil. If snakes charm birds,
musk seems to charm snakes. and bot
tie of liquid in which this is a strong
ingredient is sprinkled plentifully on
the leaves and grass within the round
up limits.
There are calls or cries which announce
to the hunters that this or that species Of
serpent has been captured or started.
The most famous dog on Hominy hills
is cur named Niger that would
rather kill snake than eat mutton any
day. Niger forms no small part of the
entertainment at the snake roundup.
At the July hunt Niger killed one pine
snake nearly feet long.
Whistling upon a fife or beating a tin
pan has also an arousing influence upon
reptile. it has been found. Fife, tin
pan, yelling and poking into snake holes
with long sticks bring the creatures
| ont. The boys. dogs and men close in
upon them and drive them all together
to the central open space. Then the
ring closes instantly around them and
| quickly dispatches them. At the July
| roundup 103 reptiles were thus slain
This observance in the Hominy hills i:
as interesting in its way as the Zuni

ACCORDING to the report of the bu-
reau of statistics the number of immi-
grants who arrived in this country
during the last twelve months is 497, 1856,
against 619,320 during the previous
wear. showing a decrease of 121 1854.
The falling off is to be partly accounted
for by the more rigid enforcement of
our immigration laws following the
cholera scare Of last summer. The
greatest decline is in the number of
immigrants to this country from Ger
many, Austria and Russia. These three
countries, including their Polish prov
inces, show a decrease of ia, $50, or
nearly the whole deficit. The only
country in Europe from which immi-
grafton has materially increased within
the year is Italy. During the last
twelve months the emigration from
that country has swollen to =, 403 from
60 ga, and nearly all the immigrants
came from Sicily. There is also an in
crease of S55 from the Netherlands.
All the other countries show reductions.

Duke OF NeraguA's brother Ininks ne
Should lie Included In the Subscriptions.
MADRID. July 25.-A press representa-
tive had an interview with the Marquis de
Barboles, brother of the Duke of Neragua,
in regard to the proposition that has been
made in the United States to collect a fund
for the benefit of the Duke, who has lost
much, if not all, of his fortune in bad bus
mess invest ments and through going Sc
curity for friends. The marquis, while
expressing himselfin favor of the proposal
to raise a fund, said he regretted that the
subscription was intended only for the
benefit of the duke.
The marquis declared that he, equally
with his brother, was a descendant OF
Columbus. He had spent large sum OF
money during his recent visit in company
with his brother to the United States, and
as a matter of fact he was poorer than the
Duke of Veragua, who is the head OF the
family
The marquis thought that he should bt
considered in the matter, and said he in
tended to write to friends in the United
States telling them all the facts. He ex
pressed the hope that the organizers of tn,
fund would see TO it that he was given
third or a quarter of whatever sum might

THERE may have been the very best
of reasons for the action of the board of
education in giving teachers certificates
to candidates who had failed to attain
$50 points out of a possible 1000, the
standard agreed upon before the exami-
nations were held. It's hard to believe
that any member of the board would so
far forget his public obligations as to be
a party to anything that savored of log
rolling. 1t may be that in their anxiety
to do justice to all the members went
beyond the bounds of discretion. Let
us withhold judgment until an official
statement is received from the board.
The lesson to be learned from the late
sensation is, that private sessions of the
board of education, or for that matter of
any other public body, are dangerous
and should be avoided.

AN attempt was made to make it ap-
pear that the acting director of the mint
had done something extraordinary in
refusing to pay more than the London
price for silver bullion, and there was
for a while lot of wild talk about
bringing 1.-The usurpation of authority"
to the attention of congress, INDUCED in
mostly by republicans who didn't care a
rap about silver but thought they saw
in the incident an opportunity to en-
barrass the administration. The talk
was stopped as suddenly as it began, for
little investigation brought out the
fact that in 1878, when John Sherman
was secretary of the treasury, and under
the Bland act, then just gone into effect,
&Eas compelled to buy 100000 worth
of silver a month, for coinage, he not
only refused to pay more than the Lon
don price, but when American holders
of silver refused to sell at that price he
actually bought more than 5000, 200
worth of silver in London and had it
shipped to the Philadelphia mint.

For years a great war in Europe has
been looked for. Nobody knew Just
how or when it would begin, but the
world has been of opinion it would in
volve several of the great powers. Some
times it appeared as though it might be-
gin in Egypt on account Of the British
assumptions there. Again tiny cloud
seemed to be rising in the Asistic hori-
zon, just on the boundary line between
the Russian and British possessions. In
region least expected, Siam, the war
cloud has at last appeared. II France
makes unjust demands on Siam, it will
certainly not be tolerated by the other
powers of Europe, jealous as they are Of
any advancement or gain of one over
another. There is the possibility that
France, China, Russia and England may
be engaged in the row on account of
Siam If SO, Europe will be shaken. At
any rate the Siam trouble comes oppor-
timely for France just now. It will re-
awaken the patriotism Of all classes and
make hem forget their faction hghts
and strengthen the republic. Perhaps
that was why the French government
made SO much of the Siamese incident.

When Home Rule Rules In Ireland.

Even if home rule does not pass the
house of lords in the present parliament
il is bound TO do 50 later. After the act
becomes law the relation of Ireland to
the British government will be substan-
TALLY that of one of the states of this
Union to the federal government. The
Irish will manage their local affairs in
their own private Dublin parliament,
but they will also be represented as well
in the parliament of Great Britain to the
number of so members. At present they
have 1903 members there. Their number
will be reduced to correspond to the fall
ing off in Irish population.
Mr.. Gladstone's first idea-for the Irish
to hold seats in the national parliament,
but refrain from voting on questions
that concerned England, Scotland and
Wales locally-aroused such a storm of
opposition that it was abandoned. W.
T. Stead of The Review of Reviews eSpe-
cially threw all his weight against it
and declared that if this feature were
pressed it would wreck the whole bill.
Gladstone. not only the greatest states
man, but the best politician in the king
dom, veered with the current and i'm
mediatcly proposed to strike out the
clause limiting the voting power Of Irish
representatives. This gained for the
bill more friends than it lost. the clause
passed in its amended form, and when
home rule becomes law the 80 Irishmen
will vote on all questions in the i'm
perial parliament. Canada and Aus
tralia have no members, voting or nom
voting, in the British parliament.
