IN COMMONS.

Several Clauses OF the Home Rule Bill
Forced Through Committee.
LONDON, July THE House Of Com
mons was crowded last night with per-
sons eager to see Clause Of the Home
The members worked steadily. Only an
occasional ebulition OF Unionist resent
ment Of bitterness disturbed the proceed-
inga. At $40 Mr. Balfour, leader Of tho
Unionists, began speaking.
He was in the middle of q sentence when
'Big Ben" struck 10 o'clock. He did not
wait to finish it, but resumed his seat amid
dsafening opposition cheers and cries Of
'Shamer' and "Gagr'
Almost Immediately Chairman Mellor
put the question Of tho last Unionist
afraid OF his own words and his voice was
hardly audible In the din. Cheers and
counter cheers resounded az Mr. Gladstone
and his colleagues trooped out into the
division lobby
Some Of the Tories shouted ''Gagl" and
"Coercior" They were answered with
Irish cheers and the waving of Irish hats.
4hs amendment was lost by a vote OF 324
to 2S6.
As the leaders returned from tho lobbies
all the members were on their feet to re-
ceive them with cheers and waving hats
Clause 3, which concerns the Irish Ex-
ecutive authority was then passed by q
vote OF 324 to 2S9.
Clause 9, which provides for an Irish
Parliament. with legislative council Of
AS members was passed without debate.
The vote was 315 to 800
Chairman Mellor tried to obtain the at
tention OF the House. but his voice was
lost in the volume of opposition cheers.
Eventually the exhaustion Of the Union
lists gave him an opportunity to put the
question of clause 2, which provides for
the constitution of an Irish Legislative
Assembly.
Sir James Ferguson, Conservative, for
Northeast Manchester, exclaimed: There
are blanks in this clause. We do not
know what IL means. How can we vote
intelligently on itf' mo questions can
be raised at this time" replied Chairman
Mellor. The clause was then carried by a
vote of 325 to 2S9. The largeness of the
majority evoked loud Irish cheers, which
were answered by the Unionists
Clause 8, which contemplates cases of
disagreement between the two houses of
the Irish Legislature, was carried by 323
to 291. The abatement of the confusion
left Mr.. Gladstone an opportunity to move
the committee Prise and report progress
The motion was carried before the Con-
servatives fairly realized what was being
done. Mr.. Gladstone hastily gathered lis
papers and left the House. The Opposi-
ton, after denouncing the Premier for his
summary method of cutting of further
discussion. agree on motion to adjourn
A page and half Of the bill was pushed
through committee last evening. This is

vious sittings

Preliminary Examination of Crick, SIM
clair and Walker.
HONOLULU, June %, via SAN Francisco,
July 8, per steamer Mariposa. Last even
ings developments in the now famous con-
spiracy case were quite sensational. Tho
preliminary examination of Crick, Sim
clair and Walker went on and as each sue
cessive witness was examined the stronger
the governments case appeared to be.
Walker said he had access to the water
mains and also had q battery connected
with the Government building and could
blow it up. The fact that a list Of the
conspirators Is in the possession OF the
provisional government has leaked out and
there are many uneasy royalists in town.
IL Is the hope of the government that
they will have such a strong case against
Crick, Sinclair apd Walker that these three
men, who are believed 10 be only tools of
more prominent men, seeing that convic-
ton is certain, will turn States evidence in
the hope OF getting of themselves. II IL
not believed that Spreckels entered into
the conspiracy, but that Walker used his
name in order to influence the soldiers to
turn traitors While the sugar king openly
fought against annexation he is believed
to 10 too shrewd to join with mon like
those on trial. All three of them are men
OF dissolute habits who went about boast
ing of what they intended to accomplish
and it Is no wonder that their plans were
discovered by the police

O'Neiis Hands for Investigation-It
Seems Co Have Been Case Of Almost
Deliberate Murder.

BosroN, July 7.-Word reached East
Boston yesterday Of the brutal shooting
pf Joseph w. Leonard at Salt Lake City,
on Juno ~. by the guard at Fort Douglass,
a military port just outside the city.
Leonard was very we'll known on the
island, having been brought up there and
attending the Emerson school His father,
a widower, resides at "a Cove street, and
when seen by reporter last evening told
the following interesting story about the
tragedy.
He first was made aware Of his sons
death when telegram was received from
the coroner at Salt Lake City. shortly fol-
lowed by newspaper containing an nc
count of the shooting.
It seems that Leonard was about Fort
Douglass on June ~ with horse and
buggy. He was driving at q reckless
pace and was
Ordered or tho Grounds
by the officer In charge. Not complying
with the command Lieutenant B. b. Buck
ordered Sergeant Frederick Linzie and a
squad to capture the man.
Leonard did not obey the command to
alt, and the sergeant and Private Shef-
field took aim and fired. A bullet struck
Leonard, penetrating his lungs He was
taken to the hospital. and after two days
of suffering expired. Public Indignation
was aroused over the shooting, as it is
claimed that Lieutenant Buck, who gave
the order to capture Leonard, was men,
tally unbalanced and unfit for his posi-
ton
No statement could - -sbtulned ffUm
Leonard as to his home or relatives, SO his
comrades gave him q soldiers funeral and
inferred his body near the fort After
death papers were found which gave the
authorities cause to believe that his people
lived in Boston, and after several attempts
a message reached the death mans father
at East Boston. Copies of Salt Lake City
papers were received Yesterday containing
full account of the
sitting Of the Coroner's Jury.
In its verdict 1t finds that death resulted
from guHshot wound inflicted by the
hands of either Sergeant Frederick Linzie,
company z, 10th infantry, or Private Shelf
field of the same company and regiment.
Mr.. Leonard stated last evening that his
son joined the army about 10 years ago at
Boston and thaehe was 30 years of age.
He is disposed to investigate the facts Of
the shooting and will place the case in the

BY New York's Most Influential Business
Men-This Country Now Passing
Through . Financial Crisis That May
Result Disastrously.

NEW YORK, July Fully 100 members
were present when tho Chamber of Com
merce meeting was called to order yester-
day afternoon by Alexander E. Orr. Mr..
Orr said they were all business men, and it
would be better to at once proceed to the
matter in hand
John Clafiin Immediately arose in re-
sponse to the dhairman's question, "What
Is your pleasursS" and said that they did
not need to be told that the strain the bus
iness men were suffering from was a severe
one. He said that lie had been told that
the strain was greater than that of any
panic in former pears. He did not believe
they were ON the
Verge Of Commercial Panic;
they were passing through one.
There had been many causes, he said,
which had contributed to the present
trouble. Most of them would right them
selves in the natural course of business,
but there was one chief cause which was
not included in that category. and that
Sherman law. IL had caused distrust

place should only be enacted after wise
and lengthy deliberation.
Mr. Cafiin concluded by Offering for
adoption resolutions, calling for the inn

the silver act and for the appointment Of

sion. Louis Windmuller offered the fol-
lowing amendment: That a committee
