Bill Mapped Out.

7 he Party's Course on the home Rule
Bill Mapped Out.
LONDON, March 27-A liberal party
meeting was held at the foreign office to-.
day, under the presidency of Premier Glad
stone, TO discuss the position of business
and the course Of the liberals in parliament.

that the home rule bill should have pre-
cedence over all other business every day
except Wednesdays, and also that the house
should sit in the morning on Fridays Mr.
Gladstone expressed hope that the party
would give the gov Plment ell the aid In les
power TO expedite tue home rule bill issue
and parish council BILL and assist the gov
ernment in fighting distractions.
Mr.. Labouchere suggested that the min
isters, as well as private members, should
curtail their speeches on the home rule
question.
Sir Vernon Harcourt said that IL the
liberal party only acted With prudence
and according to proper rules OF discipline,
they would soon carry to a successful issue

A FIGHT ON A TREATY.
AN ATTEMPT TO HEAD OFF EX-
TRADITION WITH RUSSIA.

Tho Agreement Already Ratified By
the Senate, But 1t Can still Be Pre-
vented From Becoming Operative
Through the Intervention of the Ex'
ecutive-Actiou on Nominations.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Senate
was in executive session this afternoon for
upward Of an hour and the greater part OF
that time was consumed in discussion rela.
tive TO the release OF the injunction of
secrecy on the treaty with Rus
sia that was recently ratified by
the Senate. The injunction was
not, however, released, although a majority
OF the Senate is in favor of it. and the pro-
position also meets with the approval ofltha
state department. The sticking point
is just what amount Of correspondence
shall be made public, and the vote by
which the treaty was ratified. Il was un-
derstood that the state department Is averse
to giving out certain parts Of the oOrre-
spondence, and that until some agreement
upon this point can be reached the text of
the treaty will not be given to the public.
Despite the fact that the treaty has been
ratified great many remonstrances have
been received, principally from Polish resi-
dents OF this country, all of which have
been referred 70 the committee on foreign
relations. Although Uhe act of ratification
has taken place it is still possible for the
treaty t. be kept from becoming operative
through the Intervention OF the executive,
aud it is said that steus looking to this have
been taken by opponents Of the agreements
between the two powers.
ACTION ON NOMINATIONS.
But two nominations, apparently, were
GpN 60, T.. l.
authority that all the nominations sent in
by the President for important offices up to
date, exclusive of those sent to-day, have
been favorably acted upon, including THAI
OF Mr.. Risley minister to Denmark.
Under the rules, unless a motion to imme-
diately notify the President is carried, these
cOnfrmatons lie on the table for two con.
secutive executive sessions, in orde- that q
motion to reconsider may be made IL any
one desires 80 to do. For that reason, al-
though the Senate has acted upon the nomi-
nations before it. the fact has not been made
public.
Toward the close Of the session Mr. Sher-
man, chairman or the republican caucus, i,
notified the democrats Of the action taken
by them on the subject Of the reorganiza-
tIon OF the elective officers OF the Senate,
which was to the effect that the republicans
would accept no compromise.
Mr.. German replied quietly, saying that
he thought the republicans should accept
the compromise that bad been suggested.
and before any discussion could arise, IL
there had been any disposition to talk, he
made q motion TO adjourn, and the execu-
tive session ended.

NEW YoRK, March 27.-The Georgia
Central reorganization committee to-day
sent out the following letter:
The statement telegraphed from Macon last
week that the committee of the Southwestern
stockholders had reported against the
advisahlity of joining the reorganization
plan is Incorrect the report of the said
committee strongly recommending the
stockholders of the Southwestern railroad Of
Georgia, to accept the reorganization as unit,
any other course of controversy being certain
to damage the interests of the stockholders
The members of the Georgia Central reor-
gsnlzation committee further state that suf-
hcient amount of tripartite bonds are held
in the interest Of the committee to prevent
reversation Of the foreclosure proceedings Hold
ers of securities of the system are advised not
to permit themselves to be influenced by ire
sponsbe partsans who have for their sole object
obstruction of the reorganization, in an interest
directly opposed to sound reorganization of the
property Of the Georgia Central Railroad Com
pany and its allied lines.
The Tribune will say tomorrow:
Those opposed to foreclosure pronounced
this silly in the extreme. and it was said that
nobody asserted that they did not have control
OF the tripartte bonds but that if anybody in
terested should come forward and offer to put
In money to take up the bonds and pay the in
terest to avoid foreclosure, no court would
allow the foreclosure proceedings to 20 on. 1t
Is reported that there is a movement on foot TO
form syndicate for this purpose, and that the
arrangements are pearly complete for making
such an offer.

in the public prints relative TO the char
acter Of Mr.. Roach. recently elected a
senator by the legislature of North Dakota,
and now occupying a seat in the Senate as
a democrat. The republicans say that in
view of the seriousness Of the charges 1t is
the duty of the democrats to ask that a
committee for this purpose be appointed, if
Mr.. Roach himself does not make the re-
quest. If this is not done it is understood
on the authority Of a republican who is
moving actively in the matter, that a mo-
tion with such purpose in view will be in
troduced by the republicans.
1t is also said that the republicans will
protest against any attempt TO adjourn this
extraordinary session of the Senate until
this matter has been brought before it.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The United
States supreme court to-day decided q case
involving the validity of patent granted

ready patented in England, but in which
the English patent had become void before
application was made here. The
decision is that a patent granted

The Mejority Report of the Committee
in Favor of Mantle.
WASHINGTON. March 27.-A majority
of the Senate committee on elections have
reported to the Senate affirming the right
of Lee Mantle to seat in the Senate under
his appointment by the governor Of Mon
tana The minority report was not pre-
sented. II is understood to be ad-
verse to Mr.. Mantle. There are
two other cases, those of Mr.
Beckwith, appointed by the governor
Of Wyoming aud Mr.. Allen, appointed by
the governor Of Washington. Inasmuch as
the facts are the same the test will be made
in the case of the senator upon whose ore
dentials the report is made 1t is not un-
likely that as this is decided 30 will be the
others. Both reports are rather lengthy
and quote voluminously from the earlier
decisions of the Senate upon cases dealing
with the same question.

AN EXTRA SESSION IN TaH FALL.
The Silver and Tariff Questions the
Issues to be Before Il.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-It can be stated
on the highest authority that the report
which has been circulated TO the effect that
President Cleveland had announced that he
had determined to call an extra session OF
the next congress in the fall is not well
founded. The President has not decided
definitely one way or the other as to calling
an extra session In the fall. The probability
is now, as it has been all along, that an
extra session will be called In the fall with
a view OF stopping the silver initiation and
beginning the work Of tariff reform But the
President has not yet determined to call ID.
10 Is generally understood that his decision
will turn largely on the prospects of the res
peal OF the Sherman act in case congress
should be brought here In the fall. II there
is a reasonable probability that such legis-
laton will be had congress will un-
doubtedly be called in extra session, but as
yet this probability does not seem to he
established to the entire satisfaction of the
friends of honest money. 1t is understood
that the democratic members Of the House
desiring the repeal of the Sherman act
believe that the House would pass
bill repeating it, but that the honest
money democrats of the Senate are not SO
sangulne as yet OF its success in the Senate.
The senators are hopeful, however, that
the change which is already apparent in the
attitude OF some Of the senators who have
been counted as against the repeal of the
Sherman act may go on until by the time it
Is necessary to call the extra session, if il is
to be called at all, it will be evident that
the proposed repeal will have majority in
the Senate. or course these sanRuine cal
culators count upon the aid of all the repub-
licans in both houses, except those who are
known as out and out silverites.
AS matters stand now Speaker Crisp will
oe reelected without opposition whether
congress meets in extra session or not and he
will reorganize the ways and means, coinage
and other important committees on what
are known as Cleveland lines.
