OSBORN'S CHARGES.

TOPEKA, Kan. April 2l.-RaiIroad Com
missioner Mitchell was questioned this
morning N regard to the story printed
this morning TO the effect that the Union
Terminal company had given him $4,000,
through third person. to render a decis-
ion favorable to the terminal company in
its suit against the Missouri Pac fic, and
that Mr.. Mitchell had given portions of
that amount to Commissioners Anthony
and Greene, as alleged by Secretary of
State Osborn. Mr.. Mitchell said:
This story, from beginning to end, is a
lie / never held any such transaction
with the Union Terminal company, or
with anybody in the interest of tie com
pany. | never gave decision for that
company or any other under corrupt in-
iuence. That decision was honestly

Having said this Mr.. Mitchell left his

lands loyal acceptance of the present bill
should cause distrust and dlsDe-

dissatisfaction IN the Irish mind since the
door of hope had been opened. Continued
distrust of the Irish people, despite all
they could do, came simply to this: That
they were to be pressed below the level of
civilized mankind. When the boon of

colonies, was Ireland alone TO be excepted

Before the cheering ceased George Bart

Mr.. Morley, chief secretary for Ireland,
moved closure and it WAS adopted.
William Saunders. the ratiical from the
Walworth division of New Invlrton,
who had threatened to bolt To he opposi-
tion, changed his mind at the last mo
ment and went into the lobby with the
ministeralists. AS MT. Gladstone returned
from the lobby the Liberals and National
lists rose and cneered and waved their hats.
John Redmond shouted: 'Three cheers
for Parnell.' but the only response was
laughter.
The announcement that the bill had
passed the second reading by vote of 3lI
to 3O4 WAS the signal for more cheers and
hat waving There was another demon
stration when Nh Gladstone lett The
house. Crowds had ihered ou side the
building, and as the prime minister rode
away he WAS followed by their cheers.
The division was taken on strict party
lines. Every Nationalist member voted
with the majority: the dissident Liberals,

DuN'S REVIEW.

NEW YORK, April al.-R. 6. Dun & Co. s

Monetary doubts have overshadowed

bushels at western points in four days and
Atlantic exports have not exceeded 600,
600 bushels. Pork products are somewhat
lower. though declining less than corn.
In the cotton market liquidation has con-
tiuued. and with sales of LEO 100 bales
here prices have dropped l6 of cent.
The weeks receipts from plantations are
fully pto last years aud southern adyices
generally indicate some increase this year
in acreage. Reports from other cities
show extensive embarrassm from
severe storms and "a backward spring. with
signs Of a shrinkage in trade from other
causes
The tardy spring makes clothing quiet
and the advance in shoes retards buying.
The building trade is active, and the de-
mand for lumber large, but sales of wool
are moderate. Pig iron is a shade firmer
for foundry, but Bassemer is weaker at
Pittsburg, and Birmingham No. , is
offered at So The trade in bar is dull,
with prices as low as ever, and cut to
06 cents in beams and channels is report
ed. Sales of lake copper at $l1 40 are
rumo ored. The demand for tin is slower,
while coal is dull and easy. In textile
fabrics, the mills are still busy with old
orders.
