MIR. GLADSTONE PUSHING os.
Mr.. Joseph Chsmberlain's Amendmesf Q,
the Home Rule Bin Beaten.

LONDON, July 26.-The committee o,
the whole Of the house of commons re
sumed its discussion OF Mr.. Jos Chamber
lain's amendment TO the financial Clause
OF the home rule bill. providing that ih the
provisional arrangement that Ireland's
taxes should be collected for six years by
lne imperial government, should be 50
changed that the collection OF such taxes
should rest permanently with the imperial
government
II was this amendment that brought
forth last evening the sharp attack upon
Mr.. Chamberlain from Mr.. Gladstone. in
the course of which the prime minister
compared Mr.. Chamberlain with the
"devifs advocate" a party in the Catholic
Church whose duty il is. when the name OF

Mr.. Chamberlain took occasion today 20

that the prime minister's speech was a
ferocious one and took him completely by
surprise. He was not aware that In speak,
ing TO his motion he had said anyshing
that justified the prime minister's extreme
energy and violence.
Mr.. Chamberlain's remarks were greeted
with cheers by the opposition. A division

Torpedo and Submarine Gun Tests.

Capt. Sampson, chief of the naval ord
nance bureau has just returned from the
torpedo station at Tiverton, r. l., bringing
most encouraging reports of the progress
being made in the trials Of the Howell
torpedoes there. Secretary Herbert was
present one day and saw three of the
weapons discharged at the nets. All of
the shots were remarkable for accuracy,
one passing through the net within a foot
of the buils-eye. AS the torpedo has here
tofore, while speedy enough, been slightly
erratic in its course, this trial is regarded
as evidence Of most satisfactory improve
ment, which in the judgment of the tor
pedo experts promises to place the Ameri-
can weapon ahead OF it's English rival-the
Whitehead.
Seven of the Howell torpedoes are now
being tested, and the parts of a large num-
ber of other torpedoes are ready for as
sembling.
The Ericsson submarine gunboat De-
stroyer is being put in condition to take
part in the trials. In some quarters there
are grave doubts to the stability and
seaworthineSs of this peculiar craft, but
Capt Sampson is unwilling to believe that
any craft designed by Ericsson should be
wanting in these particulars. and the boat
will be brought to Newport and her SUBJ
marine gun will be fired as soon as the
constructors at New York can make her
ready.

1t will not be long before the walls of

INK NOW; BLOOD NEXT.
A Controversy Which Gives Rise to Talk
of a Duel
Senator Irby and Newspaper Correspond
ent Involved-A Defiance to Be Pub
Iished in South Carolina Papers.

A Washington loop has been cut into the
Irby-Farley- -Tillman controversy which Is
exciting the populists Of South Carolina.
The controversy is one which started be-
tween Senator Irby and Gen. Farley, the
populist adjutant general of South Caro-
lima, on account of some reflections on
Gen. Farley in a dispatch to the Augusta
Chronicle over the signature used oy son
of Representative Tillman, who is corre-
spondent Of the Chronicle. Some sort or
political plot was alleged in this dispatch.
and for long time there has been an in
dication that some ones blood must be
drawn to wash out the affront to Gen.
Farley, and the controversy at present
turns on the question of responsibility for
the dispatch. Several cards have been pub
hshed by parties concerned, one by Mr..
Tillman alleging that Senator I-Oy was
the author of the dispatch, and that he
used without authority the signature over
which Tillman writes.
Mr.. Tillman's Defiance.
Tilman has been in Washington looking
over the files at the Western Union Office
to find the Dispatch and today he left for
home with a long letter in his pocket
which he proposes to publish in the south.
In this letter he reviews the whole case
and declares that Senator irby dictated
to send II, but returned Ii to the Senator,
and that the Senator then filed the dis
patch himself without Tillman's knowledge
or consent. He accuses Senator 1rby OF be
ing dishonorable and a falsifier, and in
tones of defiance leaves ii open for the Sen
ator to acknowledge having maliciously
practiced a deception or to settle the mat
ter In such manner as seems suitable to
southern gentlemen.
Tillman is said to have left here with the
expectation of having to fight a duel and
to have bespoken the services of two south
ern correspondents here as seconds.

Acting Secretary Adee Has Received No

'T have absolutely no information what

acting secretary of state, in reply to
question as to the truth of an alleged rumor
that the Beriug sea arbitrators have de-
cided the case in favor of the United
States A similar statement was made by
every one else at the department who would
be apt to have knowledge on the subject
Secretary Gresham and Assistant Secre-
tary Quincy are out of the city. In view Of
the fact that the department has arranged
for the promptest kind of information on
this subject and has no advices whatever
from our representatives in Paris. where
the commission is in session. to the effect
even that a decision has been given, the
natural assumption is that the rumor is
decidedly premature to say the least.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE.
Commissioner Miller Makes q Preliminar
Report for Last Year.

Commissioner Miller Makes q Preliminary
Report for Last Year.
The commissioner of internal revenue,
Joseph s. Miller. has filed with Secretary
Carlisle preliminary report Of the opera
tions of the bureau for the fiscal year end
ing June 80. 1893. The report says that
the total collections from all sources Of in
ternal revenue for the fiscal year just ended
were $161. .OO2, ,637.77. The total collections
for the fiscal year ended June 80. 1892, were
$153, ,S57, ,544.35
A comparison of the receipts for the last
two fiscal years shows an Increase of ST.
145. .O93 ~ in the receipts for the fiscal year
just ended.
1t is estimated that the expenses Of collect
Ing internal revenue for the fiscal year just
ended will be about $4,363, 600. Deducting
therefrom the expenses connected with the
ascertainment and payment Of the bounty
on sugar, amounting to about $40 600,
leaves the net cost Of collection about 81,
223,OOO. The exact amount cannot be given
until all the accounts for the fiscal year
are received and adjusted; but the total will
not vary much from the amount herein
stated.
This shows the percentage Of cost Of col
lection to be s.. 81, as compared with s.. so
of the year 1892, so that while the collec-
tions for 1893 were ST. 145, ,O93. AZ more than
for 1892, the net expenses were about $780,
600 less.

THE NICARAGUAN REVOLUTION.
The United States Marines May BE Landed
There n SECOND Time.

The situation of Minister Baker at Man.
aqua. Nicaragua, is being closely watched
at the State Department. 1t is not felt
that he is in any great personal danger.
and If he has made formal protest to the
revolutionists, as reported, against their
disregard of the principles Of civilized war

and endangering the legation building he
has probably done SO with view to max
ing the matter one Of official record that
may hereafter be a subject of diplomatic
negotiation. The u. S. S. Alliance is now
on her way to Corinto from Peru. If it
should appear that Mr.. Bakers person, or
the safety of the legation, is In danger
through the failure of the Zavalla gov
ernment or of the revolutionists to afford
protection and to insure respect to our flag,
any emergency of that kind would doubt
less be followed by the landing of the
United States marines upon the shores Of
Nicaragua for the second time during the
present disturbances, and this time they
would probably not be so promptly with
