AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
A Case to Contest the Copstitutionalit.
of the Law.

A Case to Contest the Copstitutionality
of the Law.
BosToS, Sep. Ga suit to test the con-
slit utionality of the Australian Ballot law
was heard yesterday by the full bench Of
the Supreme Court
Rev. A. A. Miner, the petitioner, was
nominated in May to the office of Senator
in the Seventh Suffolk district, by con.
vention of the Prohibition marty, which
did not poll 3per cent. of the vote for
Governor at the last election. The Ger.
tificate of his nomination, filed with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth, did not
show that in the caucusses which chose the
delegates composing the convention 81
voters participated and voted. On account
of this omission the Secretary refused tc
put DR.. Miners name upon the official
ballot. Thereupon DIR. Miner requested
the Ballot Law Commissioners to consider
the case. The Commission determined,
for the same reason, that DR.. Miners
name could not be placed upon the ballot.
The court took the case under consider.

4 Very Cold Reception Given Il. In the
House Of Lords.
FIVE TO ONE IN OPPOSITION.
Tho Duke Of Devonshire Declares That
the Union OF ireland and Great Brit
ain is Decree Of Nature which Laws
and Treaties Have Only Recorded.

LONDON, Sep. 6.-The House OF Lords
was filled yesterday with members and
visitors eager to hear the debate on the
Home Rule bill opened. Although the
conservative whips will not master their
full force before the evening Of the fina:
division, the opposition had In attendance
yesterday five members to every one of the
Liberal side. The galleries were filed
with peeresses. The Strangers gallery
was packed to suffocation. A peculiar
feature of the crowd was the conspicuous
ness Of the clerical element.
Earl Spencer, first Lord OF the Admiral
ity, moved the second reading of the Home
Rule bill, making tame speech, barren OF
original thought or expression. Reclaimed
for the government all honesty Of intcn-
tions In its work for the bill and credited
the opposition with being equally conscien-
tious He reviewed at some length the
history of Ireland since the union. All
the so-called remedial measures of the sue
cessive governments, he said, had come too
late to help the country, even had they
not contained radical defects which would
have rendered them useless early or late.
His own personal experience satisfied him
that Home Rule was the only possible
solutionsof the Irish question. After dwell
ing upon the benefcent results to be ex-
pected from several provisions Of the bill
Earl Spencer closed with the declaration
that the Gladstonan plan Of Home
Rule was calculated to satisfy all aspira-
tions OF Ireland to self government.
The Duke of Devonshire, Liberal Union
ist, moved the rejection Of the bill. The
Duke Of Devonshire contended that every
class In Ireland except one was Unionist
and was opposed to the measure under
discussion. Did the government he asked,
believe that the manufacturers merchants
and traders of the country who opposed
the Home Rule bill, mistook their positioni
The Union of Ireland and Great Britain, he
said, had been decree of nature, which
laws and treaties had only recorded. The
present bill was crude and unavoidable
and violation OF the Constitution.
The Duke read his speech throughout,
turning page after page. The House
showed very little interest in his re-
marks.
Viscount Powerscourt, Liberal Unionist,
was the next speaker, and the attendance
dwindled while he enlarged upon the COM
ing ruin of Ireland. Home rule would
blight all industries, he said.
Baron Brassey, Liberal. spoke in sup
port of the bill, and the Duke Of Norfolk,
Liberal Conservative, spoke against 1t.
