"You see it was only natural that l

At last he smiled.
''Well, it's not an uncommon name, is
it?' he observed. "Still, can easily I'M
derstand how the mistake arose."
You see, Mr.. Smith," l went on, "My
sister believed you to be bachelor, and
when | told her you were married man,
she naturally felt that you had misrep-
resented yourself, and, in short, that you
were hardly suitable companion for
her sons"
As spoke of my nephews, | thought

that Mrs. Ireton's treatment of me was.

Mr.. Smith spoke with the utmost grav-

than suspicion of fun lurking in his
eyes. Perhaps 1 looked uncomfortable;
any how, my neighbor hastened to
change the subject.

ut was quite romantic affair"
"Indeed?"
Yes; there was an engagement be-
tween my sister and Jack Raymond ten
years ago. They were deeply attached
to each other; but unfortunately most
painful Misunderstanding arose, and the
upshoh of it was that Jack went abroad
with his regiment, and Kate married
Colonel Smith, man many years her
senior, who was content to make her his
wife, knowing that she entertained no
warmer feelings towards him than those
of gratitude aud the prOfOundest re-
spect."
"You will miss your sister very much,

"Thank you, Miss West; shall be
pleased to do So"
"By the way, my niece, Amy Ireton,

And so in the course of time my dear

Mr.. GLADSTONE AROUSED
He Vigorously Replies to Attacks in the
House of Commons,
CHARGES OF THE OPPOSITION REFUTtD
There Is Fire Yet Left in the Grand Old
Mandatory for the Government on
n Test Vote to Force Adj
Journment.

LONDON, Dec. 14.-There was quite an cX-
today, arising out of the announcement of
MIR. Gladstone that, on account of the pres
ent state of business, the government pro-
posed TO adjourn on Friday, December 90,
and to meet again on the following Wedncs-
day.
Sir John Darlington, conservative, moved
to adjourn the House in order to call atten-
ness.
The opposition intepded this motion rs an
indication of the alleged general incapacity
OF the government in conducting business
and expressed the intention of pressing the
motion to q division. Sir Richard Paget,
conservative, in seconding Dorrington's
motion was loudly cheered, especially when
he declared the present condition of things
in public affairs was becoming intolerable.
These attacks finally brought Mr.. Glad
stone to his feet. He replied warmly to the
opposition and, amid frequent interruptions,
declared the House must meet again as he
had indicated, or the parish councils bill
must be abandoned.
Rt. Hon. John Balfour, conservative
leader, accused the government of trying to
tramplo upon the opposition, who, Mr..
Balfour added, was u little below the gov
eminent in number.
After a heated debate, during which Mr..
Gladstone was greeted with groans from
the opposition and with cheers from his sup
porters, the closure.was moved, and the mo-
tion to adjourn rejected, 1865 to ll5.
The announcement of the result of the
vote called forth loud cheers from the gov
rnmeu supporters.

AFTER 4 LONG STR UGGLE.
One of the Oldest Private Banking Houses
In PIttsburg Closes Its Doors.

One of the Oldest Private Banking Houses
In Pittsburg Closes Its Doors.
PITTsBURG, Dec. 14.--R. Patrick 4 Co,
bankers, have closed their doors this morn.
ing. The firm is one Of the oldest private
banking houses in the city.
Their liabilities are $500, 900; assets,
500, 900.
The trouble began six months ago, when
the strlngency in the money market COM
menced and the firm has ever since been
making a hard struggle. Several times it
had been on the verge of closing, but was
enabled to pull through. The immediate
cause of the collapse was the failure of the
Clearing House association to pass checks
amounting to sci 600.
The firm was unable to realize on its assets
speedily and could not pay the cheeks, and
the only thing to do was to close. An assign
ment will be made as soon as the papers can
be drawn.
W.. L. Wallace, the cashier, said: ''This
trouble was caused by the failure to realize
Oh our assets, which consist largely of real
estate, in time to protect all our depositors,
| and we concluded to close, and will make an
assignment so all will be protected"
The assets include some valuable real
estate, which. when realized on, will more
than pay all liabil1ties,S MIR. Wallace IS also
! quite wealthy, and depositors will be paid in
full. The sole survivor OF the firm is w. w.
Patrick, who had gone home and could not
be seen. This is the first bank failure in
| PittSburg in years.

GAVE TIE TARIFF A REST.
Yesterday Saw no Further Changes Made
IN the Wilson Bill.

$4,000
III the Wilson Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE tariff has had
a rest today. There have been no meetings
of subcommittee of the full committee.
Chairman Wilson has been away from the
house and members of the committee say he
is engaged In preparing the majority report.
which is to be submitted next Tuesday. 1t
is not expected that any further action will
be taken on the internal revenue features OF
the bill until tall members OF the majority
are in the city to consider it.
The individual or corporate income tax
must be settled before the committee can
proceed. A question that has arisen is
whether the income tax can be levied in
time to derive revenue for the next fiscal
year. as it has been stated that the tax
would have to be levied on incomes for the
year following the time the law goes into
effect. Mr.. Bryan, who is pressing the
straigEtout income tax plan, says the tax
would be levied on incomes Tor the calendar
year, not the fiscal year, but if an income
tax is adopted it would be on incomes from
January y !, 1894, to December 81 of that year.
and the taxes will fall due in January,
1895, and be available for the expenses of
the fiscal year ending sumo 30, 1895.
The republicans will probably have their
report ready to submit next Tuesday, al
though they may hold it one day in order to
make criticisms upon the majority report.

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE judicial inquiry into

will continue their efforts to discover them.
1t is announced that the detectives who are
working on the anarchist conspiracy nave
arrested a man named Carl Stub, q militant
anarchist ana well known to Valiant. 1t is
added that the detectives found a loaded
dynamite bomb IN Stubb's lodgings.
The commission of the hambe of
Deputies has adopted the bills regarding an
possession of explosives. Only some slight
notifications were made. Similar action
has been taken by the Senate.
Immediately after the government sup
prcssive bills have been adopted by the
Cha nber of Deputies a number of additional
arrests will be made. Pending the vote on
these bills the sun of 100000 francs will be
voted by the government OF France on be-
half of The police force.
The authorities are drawing up n scheme
for the adequate surveillance of persons
known to have revolutionary tendencies.
Commissaries of police will be established
in various towns which hitherto have been
| without them and a large sum viii be placed
at the disposal of the projects to enable
them to keep a sharp eye upon suspects.
The whole machinery will be in WORKING
order at the beginning OF the new year.
Leopold Koch, an Austrian shoemaker,
who has been employed in Paris, has been
ordered to quit France within eight days,
owing to the fact that numerous anarchist

Subject of Is bate.

Germany's Commercial Treaties Again the
subject of lie bate.
BERLIN, Dec. l4.-There was much excite
ment in the Reichstag when the Spanish
treaty of was presented for its
second reading yesterday. Herr Maututel
attacked the commercial policy of the gov
ernment whose treatment, he said, of the
agricultural classes encouraged agrarian
agitation,
Chancellor Won Caprivi made n vigorous
reply, during which he said that it was true
that the Russian treaty would be made at
the expense of the husbandry, inasmuch as
a grain producing state must seek conces-
sions through it. The chancellor added that
he only opposed the method OF agitation re-
sorted to by the farmers alliance, and as
serted that IL was not conservative to appeal
to the maiorities against the authority OF
the government. The latter, the chancellor
asserted, must seek support from the large
portions of the pSpulatlon and not from any
individual party, and it would take support
where it could find it.A
a remark of Chancellor Won Caprivi to the
effect that the deputies should not be iniiu-
euced by the masses caused a decided sensa-
tion.
Abiding to the currency the chancellor
said that IL was impossible to take any step
in that direction unless England joined in it.
Both the Spanish and Servian treaties
passed second readings by large majorities.

LEIpsIc, Dec. lathe trial of the two
supposed French spies, De Gond, alias
Dubois, and Delgri Malyas, alias Dagnet,
commenced here today. Dubois and Malvas
was arrested in August last at Kiol, on
board an English yacht, the Insect, after the
police had detected them in the making
sketches of the German coast defenses.
Shortly after the opening of the trial Du-
bois confessed that a member of the French
general staff, "a professor of the war acad-
envy ana head of the department of marine
Notifications, instructed HIM to study the
German coasts. Dubois thereupon concluded
to make q personal visit TO the German forti.
f~ications and chartered the English yacht
considering her TO be neutral ground. The
prisoner denied that he acted under the or
ders of the French government.
The prisoners declined to explain their re.
latIons with the French ministry of marine
unless the public was excluded from the
court room, The public prosecutor was
opposed 10 this at the time, but he after
wards consented, and the court later on ad
~jourred until tomorrow, when the pleadings

VOORHEES, COINAGE BILL.
Objectionable to Both the FRIENDS and En-

OBJ to Both the FRIENDS and En-
emies of Silver.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l4-Senator Voorhees,
today introduced in the senate his long
promised financial bill. 1t provides for the
coinage of the silver seigniorage for the pur-
chase and coinage of 1000, 900 worth OF sill
YER per month after the coinage of the
seigniorage for the retirement of paper cur
rency of less denomination than 80; for the
retirement of all gold coins of less denomma
tion than $40, and for the appointment of an
international commission. The bill is not
received with any great degree of favor by
either the silver advocates or their opponents
in that body.

tiers that the administrator favored the
bill today introduced by Senator Voorhees,,

.INHN MARTTN,S SEiE.
HIS Right to Sit as senator from Kansas
VIII he vigorously Contested.

Ills Right to Sit as Senator from Kansas
VIII Re vigorously Contested.
WASHINGTON. Dec. l4-The senate com
mittee on privileges ana elections, at its
meeting yesterday, decided to enter upon
the investigation of the rights of Hon. John
a. Martin of Kansas as a member of the
senate in accordance with the petition of
Hon. Joseph w. Ady, who claims to have
been elected in the place of Martin TO fill the
unexpired term Of the late Senator Plumb.
The senate ordered this in v~estigation during
the Fifty-second congress, but the matter
had been allowed to rest so long that it was
regarded as one of the dead issues. .
Tho order passed by the committee gives
Mir. Ady thirty days after the list of Janu-
AIRY in which to file his testimony and briefs,
and Mr.. Murtin thirty days more for filing
briefs on his side and rebuttal testimony,
after which the committee will take the
question up ana presumably report its find
ing 10 congress, so that there is q fair pros
pect of u revival of the story Of the exciting
| times in the Kansas legislature during last
winter.
The principal point involved is the legal
ity of the Dunsmore or populist house of
representatives, and Its right to participate
in the election of a senator, notwithstand-
ing it was afterwards declared by the
supreme court Of the United States
TO be an illegally constituted body.
1t was by this body, acting. with a
majority of the senate, that Mr.. Martin was
declared to have been elected, while the
Douglas or republican house declared Ady
to be elected, by which action he claims to
have been elected. The committee on cleo
lions will investigate the natter and after it
shall have made its report the senate will
discuss the question. In the senate, if not
in the committee, the question will take a
party tinge. The result of the recent cleo
tons has led the republican senators to feel
new hope of regaining control OF that body
and they are not likely to leave any stone
unturned to gain 1T. The democrats having
a majority have the matter III their own
hands, so that if it should become n party
question Mr.. Martin would seem compare.
