house to pronounce Chairman Mellor's action
arbitrary and in excess Of his authority.

troduce q motion to reduce by $1,000 the

RIGHTS OF IRISH MEMBERS.
When the house went into committee Of the
whole on the Irish government act, Mr.. Glad
stone announced the withdrawal of the ''in-and.
OUT subsection of clause 9, which provided
that the Irish members Of the imperial parlia-
ment should not be entitled to deliberate or
vote on any bill or motion the operation Of
which is confined to Great Britain or some part
thereof; on any motion or resolution relating
solely to some tax not raised or to he raised in
Ireland; on any vote or appropriation OF money
made exclusively for some service not
mentioned in the schedule of the act covering
the imperial liabilities, expenditures and mis-
cellaneous revenues; any motion or resolution
exclusively affecting Great Britain or some part
or thing therein; or any motion or resolution
incidental to any such motion or resolution as
either is last mentioned or relates solely to
some tax not raised or to be raised in Ireland,
or incidental to any such vote or appropria-
ton of money above mentioned.
By the withdrawal of this subsection, the
eighty Irish members to be retained In the i'm
perial parliament will have rights fully equal to
those given to the British members.
GLADSTONE WILL STAND FOR MIDLOTHIAN.
Rumors have been current that Mr.. Gladstone
did not intend to again stand for election in the
Midlothian district, and that at the next gem
oral election be would stand for Welsh dis
trict Mr.. Gladstone has written a letter,
which was made public yesterday, settling all
doubt as to his intentions. He says that he
will again stand for election in Midlothian, as
he believed that the constituency will continue
to support him.
These rumo-s undoubtedly had their origin
in the fact that at the general election last year
Mr.. Gladstone's majority in Midlothian was
greatly cut down by Col. A. G. Wauchope, who
stood in the conservative interest compare
son OF the figures shows that in 1885 MIR. Glad
stone received majority of 4,631 votes, while
las It year he had but go majority over Col. Wau-
chOpe.

Lesson Of the Armor Tests.

One important result of the recent armor-
plate tests will be to extend the use Of the Har-
vey process. Secretary Herbert is satisfied
with the tests as far as they went, but he has
reached the conclusion that while plates were
as good as could be expected from plain nickel
steel. they did not show the resisting power of
the Harveyized nickel steel plate. This will
mean much to the manufacturers Of armor
plate. The contracts under which the plates
are made permits certain pieces to be made Of
plain nickel steel. The reason for this is that
the Harvey process is very difficult of applica-
ton to curved plates or pieces OF irregular
form. Such pieces are very apt to warp
when submitted to the process. and as they
emerge with q surface almost as hard as
q diamond it Is said by the plate makers
to be next TO impossible to do anything with
them in the way Of manipulation. The warp
ing frequently throws the bolt holes out Of line
and distorts such pieces a. the sponsors, the
semi-cylindricsl pieces that protect the guns on
the side Of the ship, so that they will not fit
and the work Of adjustment Is very difficult and
tedious, &C few tools can be made to cut the
hardened plates.
But, Notwithstanding these practical difficult
ties, Secretary Herbert is determined that the
armor protection Of our new ships shall be Of
the highest resisting qualities. and believing
that American ingenuity can meet the require
ments Of the case, he will insist that hereafter
all The plates shall be treated by the Harvey
process,

been satisfied with challenging him and posting
%, 500 with the New York Clipper to make
their challenge good. After intimating that he
was not in the habit Of running to prize fights
with s10, 900 checks in his pocket the "Parson'
said:

has posted bit of paper claiming t. be check
for $4,000 to meet my man at any spot or
name. therefore name November and appeal
to you as sportsmen to bear me out in my
right"
Corbett was cornered and there seemed no
way out Of his bluff. In fact, the ''Parson'
didn't intend TO let him drift away. Oorbett
lowered above the "Parson" in his rage and
tried to annihilate him with look, The Par
son, however, had met such tactics before and
knew Just how to handle himself. He never
finched peg, but stood his ground, and. shak-
ing his finger under the champions nose, de-
manded . fuihllment OF tho bluf or a complete
backdown.

The champion couldn't brighten the ''Parson,"

fright and defeated 1t many years ago Then
Corbett appealed to the crowd once more, but

won for him many Of the champions friends.

Corbett

Before the "Parson" had a chance Of digging
up his own check book at least ESQ. 900 was
poked at him from all sides of the ring. ice
Choynski howled himself hoarse with a check
and wad Of money in bis hands. Joe Ullman
wanted the privilege Of handing over the
money.
Al Smith. John Condor, Leo Mayer and
dozens OF others were thrusting money and
checks at the "Parson," who fished up the
requisite amount from his own pocket, made
his word good, and called one OF the hottest
bluffs ever made in the rank and file Of
pugilism.
II the match isn't perfected and the articles
Of agreement signed the fault will rest with
James j. Corbett and not with "Parson" Davies,
who talks with his money and not with his
mouth nor through the newspapers.
As the men left the ring Corbett had lost
four-fourths OF his friends, all of whom had
gone over to the Parsons" standard. won by
his manly bearing and nerve.

NO FEAR OF TROUBLE.

Washington, May 20.-Today, the Chi

shown into the. secretary's private
room where conference ensued lasting
nearly half an hour When Secretary
Gresham was asked for information
upon the subject he said that he could
safely declare that there was no rea-
son to fear any trouble or outbreak
either in the United States or In China,
growing out of the Chinese exclusion
law. Later in the day Chief Justice
Fuller who has shown much interest
in the outcome Of the present Chinese
situation, had an interview with Secre-
tary Gresham. Secretary Carlisle to-
day that he would certainly enforce
the law as to deporting the Chinese as
fast as the means at his disposal would
permit. He intended to begin with that
class of Chinese who are in this country
illegally, as having come in contraven-
tfon Of the law of 1884. Having sent
this class out Of the country, he would
then turn his attention to the other
and larger class, those who failed to
comply with the Geary law as to reg
istration. But $4,000 remains Of the ap-
preparation for the present fiscal year
to carry out this law, but $4,000 will
