LONDON, March Lord III Iederick Ham
ilton, conservative member OF parliament
for North Tyrone, in moving, to-day, sec
ond reading of the Irish education bill,
urged that the Irish board of education
ought to be controlled by parliament in
justice to the minority In Ireland. He
further called attention TO the fact that 10
was the only board Of the kind In the king
dom amenable to parliamentary control.
The debate then took a sectarian turn
and was attended by considerable aorimony.
Thomas Sexton contended that nobody suf-
fered under the existing system OF educR-
tional control in Ireland. He moved that
the bill be read the second time six months
from date.
T. w. Russell, liberal unionist, argued
that the state schools ought to be as free
and open In the United Kingdom as in the
United States. As "a matter OF fact, in Ire
land Protestant children attending Roman
Catholic schools had to conform TO Roman
Catholic practices. Irish laughter and cries

CROWDS AT THE CAPITAL
THE CITY ALREADY FULL OF IN
AUGURATION VISITORS,

The Cleveland Weather On Hand and
Decorations Beginning to Appear.
All the Public Buildings Crowded
With Sightseers-The Inauguration
Crowd Expected to Spend From
100000 to 81 100000.
WASHINGTON. March 1.-The Cleveland
weather arrived this morning early. 1t
has been fine day-clear, crisp and ex-
hilirating. Washingtonians are rejoicing in
the belief that the Cleveland weather has
come TO stay until after Inauguration day,
and throngs Of visitors who are already
here accept this belief most gladly. The
town seems already full of visitors. The
white house was besieged this afternoon by
the largest crowd seen there since the G.
A. R. week at the hour fixed by President
Harrison for his last popular reception.
President Harrison went through the hand
shaking with the long line of men and
women who had come Co see his successor
inaugurated with his usual solidfty, paying
no heed apparently even to a few Of the
handshakers who audibly expressed their
regret that he had to go in order that Mr..
Cleveland might come. The visitors surged
around the capitol, filing the galleries and

dors when they were not asking tickets, or
in the case of democrats aid to get office
from the democratic senators and repre-
Bentstives. All the other public build
ings had unusual numbers of visi-
tors and Pennsylvania avenue was
gay with them, the sidewalks
in front of the eencroaching procession stands
being at times impossible, while the street
cars ran as frequently as possible and were
all crowded. The visitors on Pennsylvania
avenue watched with interest the compile
tion of the stands and the appearance of the
decorations which blossomed out suddenly
to-day on public and private buildings. The
white house is conspicuously without de-
corations save for the flag which always
flies over it, but all the other public build
ings belonging to the executive departments
are beginning to look as they did dur
ing the g. A. r. encampment in
September. The hotels are already full
and will have hard time squeezing in the
late comers. Fakirs by the dozen sold
Cleveland badges, and Stevenson badges.
and Mrs. Cleveland badges, and Baby Ruth
badges by the SCORE on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to-day The fakirs, like everybody
else who has anything to sell that the visit
ors want, find them well supplied with
money and generous in its expenditure. In
these respects the crowd differ from the
g. A. R. encampment throng. The esti-
mates of the amount of money which the
Inauguration people will leave in Wash
tngton vary from S500,000 to 81, 500 .000

Hundreds Call to Give the Preside dent
a Farewell Handshake.
WASHINGTON, March President Har-
rison held his last informal public reception
at the white house this afternoon. These
receptions are usually small affairs and are
held three times each week, the attendance
ranging from 100 to 800 people. The one of
this afternoon, however, was the largest
public function of this character in
point Of attendance held by President
Harrison since the first few days OF his
term as President when many thousands of
visitors crowded through the white house
IN the hope Of seeing the new executive
For more than half an hour the President
shook hands with the thrOng that filed the
east room, the lobby and the portico of
the executive mansion, and it was only by
taking advantage of break in the line
that he was enabled to make his escape
from hundreds that followed. It's estimated
that 800 people passed tn Q President and
that half that number failed to get into the
east room before he left.

Scenes of Violence and An Incen-

WHEELING, W. VA, March 1.-The
electric street car strike is as far from q
settlement as ever and scenes of violence
are just as frequent tonight. at $50
o'clock fire, supposed to be incendi-
ary broke out at the car house
of the company in South Wheeling.
1t was extinguished with difficulty. The
loss is not serious Two hours later a riot
occurred in the same vicinity. Two nom
union men were attacked by a mob
in sympathy with the strikers and one of
them was badly hurt by brick. A
squad of policeswas soon on the scene and
chased several of the mob for ten squares.
but we're unable TO make any arrests. The
non-union men were taken under their pro~
lection.
The public is losing patience with the
strikers, but owing to the fact that every
labor organization in the city has taken up
their cause and declared boycotts
on all who patronize the street
cars, it seems almost impossible
for the matters to be settled In any other
way than by arbitration. The cause Of the
strike was the discharge of two men for
discourtesies to passengers. No wage ques-
ton is involved.

AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

The Republicans Try to Have Hanch-

WASHINGTON, March 1.-After three in
effectual attempts to get an executive ses-
sion the republicans were successful to-day,
the understanding being that nothing of a
disputed character should be considered.
An effort to reconsider the vote bv which
the nomination of John V. L. FindIay OF
Maryland to be Chilean arbitrator was
rejected was made. but failed. The tacit
agreement regarding disputed nominations
did not prevent preliminary steps icing
taken on Benton Hanchett's nomination.
As soon as the executive session began the
nomination was referred 20 the judicaT Y
committee, and before it ended the com
mibtee held meeting on the floor and res
ported it favorably by a strict party vote.

Inc Passage or the Hace-trecR Bills
Stirs Up the Reformers.
TRENTON. N. j., March IA great dem
onstration was made here to-day against
the race-t track bills passed by the legislature
over the governors veto. 1t was under
direction Of the New Jersey Citizens
League. The local clergy engaged Taylor's
opera house last night, intending to
hold the anti-race- track demonstration
there, but the fact was not generally
known and crowds went to the state house
instead, The authorities in charge of the
capitol surrendered it. Rev. Dr. Kemp
shall, president OF the league, presided. In
the throng were President Austin Scott of
Rutgers College and many members of the
Rutgers faculty. There were also many
members of the Princeton faculty, and
clergymen and eminent citizens of every
city in the state.
After a vigorous speech from DR.. Kemp
shall denouncinR the legislation authorizing
local licensing Of race tracks the meeting
adjourned to the opera house for more
room. Among the speakers were Rev. DR..
Dutfield, President Scott OF Rutgers, Dean
McNulty Of Paterson, Catholic
priest long prominent in the fight
against the race tracks; Vice
Chancellor Kirk, Rev. DIR. Studdifond
of Trenton, Rev. Henry N. Storrs, Anthony
CousJock OF new ofk, ana many other
prominent reformers
Resolutions were adopted denouncinQ and
condemning the action Of the legislature in
passing bills to legalize gambling on race
tracks and to abolish just penalties for
crime, and demanding immediate and abso-
Lutte repeal Of every one or these
Infamous acts. lt was decided to
organize permanent state law and order
league and provide for the organization OF
local leagues in every county, the principal
objects Of such leagues to be the suppression
of gambling, repeal OF all laws that protect
or promote gambling and TO prevent the
passage Of such laws hereafter. A commit
tee of ffty was appointed to carry into
effect the above plan.
