The Best Speakers Of the Opposition
Awav Last Week.
LONDON, April S.-The revival OF the
home rule bill debate on Wednesday was
unexpectedly tame. All the big men of the
opposition were absent. Mr. Balfour, the
leader Of the unionists, was still In Ulster
exhorting the Orangemen 10 stand fast
against the attempt to unload Dublin par
lament on them. Lord Randolph Churchill
was In the provinces predicting civil war in
case the premier should have his way In the
government of Ireland. Joseph Chamberlain
and Mr. Gosohen were out pushing the cam
palgn OF prophecy and denunciation in the
principal cities Of the north. As James
William Lowther, who recently has as
suTned some prerogatives OF leadership
among the tories recently is poor talker,
tho duty of answering Mr.. Gladstone's
speech on the motion for second reading
devolved upon Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
a second rate debater who did moth
ing TO redeem his reputation. Mr..
Gladstone was III good form, and spoke with
a display Of energy which showed that tho
SEQ air Of Brighton has put new life into
him. He said, however, little or nothing
that he had not said in his great speech in
PRODUCING the bill. He has returned to
Brighton to rally his energies for the hot
fight which will begin on Monday with the
return to the house Of the unionlst leaders.

STRIKE OF THE DOCK HANDS.

The Fmployers Refuse to Accept the
Compromise Offer of the Men.
LONDON, April s-The situation arising
from the dock laborers' strike In Hull is
still serious. The refusal Of the offers to
compromise made by the strikers last night,
has caused much indignation among the
leaders OF the Dock Laborers' Union, as
they consider the refusal Of the owners TO
be u snub, and it may be said, fear IL pre-
sages defeat Business at the docks was re-
sumed this morning, tho work OF unloading
vessels being done by nou-union men, Of
whom there are many in town willing to
work il they are assured protection from
riotous strikers. The report that the au-
thorittes had asked for military assistance
proves to have been correct, and the
docks this morning were patrolled by
dragoons Streets and drinking places along
the water front were filled with strikers and
their sympathizers, who are bitter in their
denunciation Of the shipping federation.
Though threats In every direction, there
has been as yet no attempt TO create dis
order. This is probably due to tha presence
OF the soldiers and also 10 the fact that the
police force has been strongly reinforced.
The strikers are sullen, however, and it
would require only spark TO start flame
that would have disastrous conseuuencos
The authorities are determined to preserve
order at all hazards, and should the strikers
attempt TO repeat their riotous demonstra.
tions Of yesterday they will meet with soant
courtesy

WAR ON euNpAY PAPERS.

Another Attempt to be Made at Pitts
burg to Stop Publication.
PITTsBURG, April S.-Stockholders, di-
rectors and proprietors Of the Sunday news
papers and Monday morning papers that do
any work before midnight Sunday are to be
made defendants in the usual charges pre-
ferred by the law and order society. Agent
Mcclure of the society says there are about
100 warrants. more or less, out against such
people. Yesterday G. w. Houston. the
business manager Of an afternoon daily,
was fineu S25 each on three counts charging
him with Sabbath decoration Other cases
against the proprietors and managers are to
be taken up at onoe.
It is now stated that the newspaper pros
prietors are determined that the "bue laws"
shall be one sided no longer. It Is their in
tention 10 have the lAws of 1894 enforced to
their entirety, and they will create such a
sentiment that the legislature will be glad
to repeal them. All the traction
cars, steam railroads, inclined
planes, ferrybosts, ETC., will be stopped
by prosecuting the owners. Some OF the
gentlemen who have heen most bitter op-
ponents Of Sunday papers are heavy stock
holders in dozen or more enterprises
which will be affected by the move. This
action Is the result Of the prosecution Of the
Sunday ne ewspAper proprietors this week.

The Jones Faction Represented a5 in
the Wrong.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-Secretary Hoke
Smith has received a detailed report from
Agent Bennett of the Union agency on the
present troubles between the factions of the
Choctaw nation. In brief it asserts that
Gov. Jones and his so-called militia are
simply endeavoFlng to wreak private ven
geance upon political and personal enemies
under cover OF official position; that right
and good morals are upon the
side Of Locke; that there is
no likelihood Of a peaceable settlement OF
difficulty by themselves, and that to avert a
tragedy that will sstound humanity it will
be necessary to place the Choctaw nation
under martial law. Secretary Smith, acting
under authority of the treaty of 1865, which
provides that the United States shall pro-
tect the Chickasaws and Choctaws from
domestic strife, has requested the Score
taTy OF War to at once send a
detachment OK troops to the scene Of
the threatened trouble TO maintain the
peace and protect life and property. Locke
ard his party are described as peacefully
Inclined, sober and entirely on the defensiv ve.
Gov. Jones and his adherents are described
as drunken and vicious, and restful of the
agents presence. They told Agent Ben
nett that the matter was one that concerned
the Choctaws alone, and that the United
States had no right Co interfere.

eral manager and late receiver Of the jack

Company, appeared at the general office of
the company in this city accompanied by his
attorneys and associates and made O formal
demand of Receiver Young for possession
under an order Of Judge Pardee of the
United States court for the Fifth circuit.

ter, Jacksonville; William Rutherford,
general master mechanic, Palatka; j. II,

B. Coffin. superintendent, Jacksonville, T.
NJ. Day Jr., attorney, Jacksonville. The
appointments supersede those of Receiver

To-day Horace Bisbee, as attorney for
the Young interests, is arguing a cross bill
with many new issues involved, looking to
the immediate displacement of MIR. Gable as
receiver and the placing of all the Jackson
vile. Tampa and Key West property, in
cluding the Indian River steam boats, in the
hands of new receiver.
The appointment of Mr. Durkee as re-
ceiver will not affect the decree OF the
A. 49,, L.

therefore be general manager and his ap-
pointments made late last night as receiver,

CINCINNATI, April SIT is reported to-
day that tho amount OF paper forged by
William Ronsheim, the Pearl street clothieF,
will reach fully Sl25, 900, and the indlca-
tions are that IL will go much higher. The
creditors will be called together some time
next week by Assignee shoder,
looking to probable compromise
Of the claims against the assigned firm.
There is but little chance of any prosecu-
tions growing out Of the case. Il is under-
stood that Ronsheim and Aubs, who are
wealthy, propose to submit a compromise
proposition TO the holders of Ronsheim'a
paper, and 10 10 probably that a 331 n per
cent. basis OF settlement may be effected.
It has also transpired that Ronsheim forged
his aunts name to a probate court applica-
tion for an administrator for the late Louis
Ronsheim, her husband, drew 5000 life
insurance and then robbed her Of the last
$4,000 OF the estate. This leaves her
penniless. and steps are now being taken to
insure her $50 a month as long as she lives.
He forged a hote on the National Bank at
Ripley, o., for s14O0 on his uncle, and
when the alleged indorsor was called upon
be informed the bank that he had never in
dorsed any such note. William Ronsheim
explained that IL was only draft which hs
bad taken the liberty OF signing, as he
needed money. There are undoubtedly
thousands OF dollars Of which no has vic-
tlmized business men, which will never
come out. The figure is already estimated
at $3.50 900. and 10 is rapidly approaching
the 100000 figure. Detectives are guarding

bad blood in German politics. The Leipsio
Gasette,i in apparent disgust with the Gatter.
ersin Berlin who try to please the emperor by
sighting the ex-chRncellor, has let loose a
torrent Of scorn upon Herr Won Levetzow,
president OF the ReIchstag, because he re
fuses to take steps toward applying 20 its
proper uses the Bismarck monument fund
under his supervision. Since Prince Bis
marck began speaking his mind about the
emperor the committee In charge or the
fund, and most conspicuously Herr Won Le-
vetzow, the chairman, have been paralyZed
by fear that any step toward honoring
Prince bismarck with monument would
offend the emperor, and hence have allowed
the money 10 lie idle for two years after the
work should have been begun. The Leipalo
Gazette remarks ironically that perheps
Herr Won Leyotzow has forgotten about
the fund. as a few weeks ago his loss of
memory had become so remarkable that he
omitted TO mention Prince Bismarck as one
OF the few members OF the
North German Reichstag, who had
sat in the present house. II Berlin
feels ashamed to houor the greatest of mod
