Some Agitation Is Needed.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE department
of state has not been in receipt of any COM
munications of protest or regret as the re-
suit of its decision not to allow the original
copies of the declaration of independence
and the constitution of tse United States
to be taken to the worlds fair as part of
the state departments exhibit. This, how
ever, is not ascribed to any lack OF interest
on the part of the public to see these pre-
cious documents, but indicates that they
have neglected to take up the subject and
agitate it with the same zeal that matters
of that kind are usually discussed.

The Unspeakable Turk.

LONDON, April u.-Advices from Con-
stantinople are to the effect that it is a
common occurrence for Turks to kidnap
Christian girls and dispose of them to the
owners of harems If the relatives and
friends of the girls attempt to regain them
they are met with the statement that the
girls have embraced Mehammedism, and
this, as a rule, ends the matter SO far as
the Armenians are concerned. The
Christians are ridiculed and subjected to

DEBATE ON THE HOME RULE BILL.
Plunkett Attacks the Measure-Remarks
of Irish Members.

LONDON, April 1.-THE debate on the
second reading of the home rule bill waxed
warm in the commons last night. Cham
berlain concluded a vigorous assault on the
bill, in which he declared that the bill was
no settlement and challenged the Irish
members to say that they accepted it as
such. Mccarthy ridiculed Chamberlain.
AS to the bill itself he could not say that
there were not points for amendment, and
Irish members were not satisfied with the
financial clauses, but he and his friends
accepted it as an honest attempt to settle
the whole nationalist question.
Plunkett Prophesies Ruin.
Plunkett declared that the bill would
bring ruin to Ireland. The bill was espe-
cially framed to- stamp out any possibility
of a representation of a minority of the
Irish people. What chance was there if
the bill became a law, of final settlement
of the Irish question with nothing to de-
pend upon but the assurance of national
list members who looked to home rule
parliament training school for men
who, at no distant day, would seek to
make Ireland an independent nation?
Threat of William Redmond.
William Redmond said that if the bill
were not passed the Irish members would
continue to come to this house and pre-
vent the business of the country from be-
ing done. There was no alternative to the
bill, which was a wise and necessary meas
ure. He was certain that the opposition to
home rule on the part of Ulster would
vanish when it was found that no injustice
would be done by the Irish parliament, and
there would be no disturbance in Ulster,
for the Irish parliament would not inter-
fere with any mans religion.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE senate COM
mittee on finance will hold its regular
weekly meeting today and will take up the
nominations that are now before it and
make its report to the senate. The only
nomination of Importance still to be acted
upon is that of Eckels, of Illinois, nom
mated to be comptroller of the currency.
1t seems likely that this case will be finally
disposed of today and that a favorable rec
ommendation will be made. Such a rec
ommendation will be equivalent to con-
frmation, although some adverse criti-
cisn-win be made on the floor of the SEN
ataeThe committee feels that there is no
indication of an intention on the part OF
Cleveland to recall the nomination.
Cause of Senatorial Objections.
In his inaugural the president, members
of the committee say, practically advocated
the repeal of the 10 per cent. tax on state
banks, and if such legislation is under
taken it will result in state banks being
put in some way under quasi govern
ment control at least. This would necessi-
tate the presence of a master of finance at
the head of the comptroller's Office, and it
is this possible contingency that causes
senators serious concern in their considera-
ton of this nomination. The responsibility
has, they claim however, been assumed by
the president, and the members of the

tent themselves with entering their protest
against the nomination and cease endeavor-
ing to bring about recall of Mr.. Eckels'
