THE HOME RULE BILL,
Lord Churchill Makes The Speech OF the
Week Against 1t.

LONDON. Feb. 1S.-The speech Of the
week against the home rule bill was
made on Thursday night by Lord Ran
doiph Churchill. The Liberal newspapers
have endeavored to weaken the impress
sion made by his words upon the House,
and have directed attention to the lack
OF slashing epigrams and yenomous
thrusts which once characterized his
style. Although he has aged in appear
ance, however. Lord Randolph has not
lost vigor in speech, and all his auditors
were surprised by the dignity and keen
ness OF his utterances.
There is no doubt that, as his friends
have recently whispered. he is in training
for high cabinet honors. which he ex-
poets 80 obtain with the next shuttle of
the parliamentary cards. Aside from his
speech, the home rule bill has dragged
somewhat. as Mr.. Baifour's speech was
one OF his weakest efforts, and Joseph
Chamberlain added nothing to his repu-
tation of the most Vitrioiic speaker in the
House. The text OF the home rule bill,
as published, presents no new features.
IL was thoroughly outlined In Mr.. Glad
stones speech of introduction, and its
appearance from opposition view was
equally clearly stated by Balfour. The
bill embraces about eight thousand words.

THE QUESTION,
Democrats Say IL Was Resehsd Through
IN Understanding that Harrison Would
Not Nominate His Successor.

WASHINGTON. Feb. B.-The con-
firmation Of the nomination OF Howell
f. Jackson to be an Associate-Justice Of
the Supreme Court has led to speculation

his successor on the circuit bench. What
President Harrison will do In the matter
II is, OF course. impossible to say. Since
the surprise occasioned by the nomination
Of Jackson no one cares to hazard a pre-
diction.
Democrats say that the confirmation
OF Jackson was reached through an under
standing that the President would not
nominate a man 10 succeed him. The
circuit ever which Judge Jackson has
presided consists OF the States Of Michs-
gan. Ohio. Kentucky and Tennessee.
In view Of the present representation

the part Of the Democrats TO oppose the
confirmation of Judge Jackson TO be an

vanished when the Senate went into exc

THE PANAMA SCANDAL.
Everything Dependent Upon the Arrest OF
Arson.

LONDON, Feb. iS.--In Paris the Pana-
ma scandal has reached the point where
all depends upon the arrest Of Arton.
The aversion OF the Government to cap
turing a man who possesses such dam
aging evidence Of the bribery OF iH depu-
ties has been revealed In stronger
light by the publication Of the story OF his
lie in Bucharest while the police were
supposed TO be doing their utmost to
catch him.
The 6rst evening after his arrival in
Bucharest Arton passed at a music hall,
where he became acquainted with Miss
{iihe Mers. the principal song and dance
artist OF the resort. He introduced him.
self as a German prince travelling incog-
nito, and threw money about so 1avishly
that he at once obtained her favor. The
next day he placed her In elegant apart
ments, then bought her a carriage and
pair, and subsequently drove with her
daily In public parks.
Three days after his arrival he was
the most conspicuous civilian In the Rou-
manian capital and his enormous expen-
diture Of money and his success with
Miss Mers was the subject of gossip in
all the clubs. He made no effort to dis
goise himself. but wore the same striking
garments which he had affected in Paris.
The Bucharest police were so sure OF his
identity that they at once telegraphed
dozen descriptions of him TO Paris and
directed him TO the attention OF the
French embassy but they received no
answer from either source.
Arton monopolized the attention OF III,
gay world for three weeks spending 10000
francs on Miss Mers. and then left TO re-
turn. he said, on March 1st. Upon leaving
he gave her 5000 francs worth OF dla~
monds. When he had time to get over
the border two police inspectors from
Paris arrived, confscated a few uiimpor-
tant papers in Miss Mers' apartments.
and, without making inquiries as to
Artons whereabouts or further particu-
lars return' d to France. The mission Of
the police was purely perfunctory. in
tended merely TO impress the people Of
France with the idea that the Govern
ment was stralning every nerve TO probe
the scandal. After such an exhibition Of
Indifference most parsons In Paris and
other European capitals believe that all
chance of full exposure is past, and the
Panama incident may be regarded as
closed.
In Germany the Social Democrats are
naking fnJl efforts 10 defeat the Army
bill. Meetings to protest against the bill
will be held in all the large cities and
towns tomorrow, and the Social Demo-
cratic press has been ordered by the CEN
tial committee in Berlin TO unite next
week in a violent attack upon the meas
ure. The prospect IS that uuless the Gov
ernment accepts the National Liberal
compromise, granting 5000 men instead
Of the 5000 demanded by the bill, Il Will
be Obliged 10 dissolve the Reichstag and

ton, OF the State Department. with whom
he had a long talk concerning the object
of his visit. Mr. Wharton could. OF
course, do nothing, and Mr.. Neuman ex-
pressed himself as satisfied that his only
chance for successfully representing the
claims OF the ex-Queen lay through the
medium OF Congress. Prince David, who

The Prince In complexion Is much light

Washington until after the Inauguration,
