HOME RULE OUTLOOK
Mr.. Chamberlain on the English
Political Situation.
NO SECOND TERM FOR Mr.. GLADSTONE.
He Thinks the Premier Likely to
Fail.
THE LIBERAL UNIONIST VIEW

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Mr. Joseph Cham
berlain of Birmingham, Eng, arrived on
the steamship Majestic this morning.
When Mr.. Chamberlain was at Queens
town he received by special messenger a
copy of Mr.. Gladstone's now famous Edin-
burgh speech.
After thinking II over for aweek Mr.. Cham
berlain said this morning that he did not
care to talk about it. He did not care in
fact. to talk about English politics at ALL
Can you not give the public your opin-
ion of Mr.. Gladstone's relations to the house
of lords?"
That is big question to discuss under
these very miscellaneous conditions" he
answered with a smile. 1T seems very
evident that Mr.. Gladstone Is in no hurry
home rule.
MIR. Gladstone dare not go to the coun-
try on the home rule bill now The situa-
ton has changed since that bill was re-
Jected by the peers. Any election now
would imply home rule and the abolition
of the house of lords as at present con-
sctuted The latter suggestion would af-
rect Englishmen in very different light
10 that In which they regard a measure
winch reaches them only indirectly. In
other words. the abolition of the hereditary
house would be bound to come home very
closely to the English electors. 1 will.
perhaps; ask and do SO with feelings Of
will the premier appeal to the electors
on other broad questions of liberal re-
form?'
Il know of no such questions that can
arise at present. Besides no question can
be brought forward which is sufficiently
impressing to overshadow the home rule
bin The Irish members would not stand
that for minute. The government ma
jortty. composed of various elements united
under Mr.. Gladstone's leadership on the
one great subject, would be further divided
should more radical measures be intro
duced.
mo, the history Of the British govern
ment for the last forty years has shown
that no administration is likely to last
more than one term, Notwithstanding the
urgency of the matters in hand / see no
reason to think that there will be any de-
Walton in favor of Mr. Gladstone. The
election must come and come on the home
rule question and / think that the present
majority will find its remnants on the other
side of the house. British electors are tired
of having all the wheels of parliamentary
legislation clogged by one question which
seems no nearer to a satisfactory settle
ment now than before Mr.. Gladstone was
restored to power by combination of
weaved elements which were expected TO
remove this political drag"

MARKET Dull Somewhat, Owing to In
terest i'm the Yacht Race.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5-Today's market
opened irregular, with no important bust
ness in sight London was dull and but
little affected by the IL per cent reduction
In the Bank of England rate, to an even 8
per cent.
Trading is still influenced by Washington
advices. and news from other sources has
no preceptible effect on prices. The room
Is confident that something favorable will
soon be disclosed at the Capitol, and that
the long-desired stimulant will be given
speculation. Pending the vindication of
these theories the market has become dull
almost to stagnation, and traders are pa
tiently awaiting development. There Is no
disposition to buy stocks and still less to
sell while rumors of coming legislation are
SO generally current.
The attendance at the board was below
the average this morning, owing to the
superior attractions of the yacht race. and
this of course contributed to the dullness
AS proven at the close of yesterdays
trading any attempt at realizing results in
lower prices and temporarily turns the
sentiment OF the room in that direction.
Trading is handicapped, no matter which
way 1t heads, by reason Of the doubt as to
whether the bulls or bears are to profit
by the disposition of the repeal bill, and
until the mystery is solved
Rumors of receivershp for Union Pa
cifc have been in circulation for several
days Corroborative assurances from per-
sons in position to judge are not lacking
and the street generally Is inclined to pre-
dict lower prices for this stock.
A decline of l per cent to IS was recorded
today.
Reading was strong at an advance of
3-S per cent to IA; sugar gained / per
cent to 80, and Chicago Gas reflected q
similar improvement to CO. Manhattan was
dull at an advance of IA per cent to 126 IA
and Lake Shore opened up l per cent at
122.
Sterling was dull and has ceased to be a
feature. Posted rates We're 484a4S6
Louisville and Nashville earnings for the
fourth week last month decreased s13I $50,
and Missouri Pacific for the same period
decreased $25S,OO
The loan committee Cancelled $75OOOO in
certificates and called s960OOO for cancella-
tion tomorrow. The daily report Of regular
business shows exchanges, s7S516,O4 bal
balance. H,0s1, SOL
Money rates were unchanged at 2 and
2 IL for call and per cent for time loans.
Nothing transpired during the afternoon
to arouse interest in speculation and the
business or making quotations was almost
entirely neglected. Some fracturing of the
senatorial slate was limited at, but no i'm
portance was attached to the rumor be-
cause the room prefers to consider the pas
sage Of the repeal bill assured
The closing was dull and uninteresting
with prices fractionally below the best
figures for the day.

ADMITTED FORGERY.
An Ex-War Department Clerk Gets
Into Trouble.

Melville Howard is thirty-three years old.
and his wife lives at Randolph. q station
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
He was once a clerk in the War DEPART
ment. but now he is a candidate for q
position in an institution in the state OF
New York where he will be poorly paid for
his labor. Forgery is charged against
him, and he plead guilty to the charge
when arraigned before the Police Court to-
day.
-sIght before last he called on Mr. Nor
rili the plumber, on nth street. and asked
the latter to cash for him a check for S7s,
which purported to contain the signature o(
Mr.. U. q. Staples OF Wizards hotel. Mr.,
Morrill, was unable TO cash IL fer him, but
he introduced him 10 Mr.. Burnett, a saloon
keeper on + street. who advanced him $40.
There was no number on the check, and
this aroused the suspicion of the bar
tender, and inquiry at WIZARDS Hotel de-
veloped the fact that the signature was q
forgery. That night Detective Carter ar
rested Howard, and he confessed his guilt
He told the officer that liquor caused him
to get into trouble. Only a few evenings
ago Howard assaulted his father-in-law,
so the officer learned. and when he got In
trouble the latter did not come TO help him
out of his dirhculty. When the prisoner
plead guilty this morning Judge Miller held
him in Soo bail for the action Of the grand
jury.
He did not give the required bail and was
sent down.

SOUTH CAROLINA'S WHISKY,
Gov. Tillman's Comment on the Su.
preme Court Decision.


preme Court Decision.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Oct. 5.-A United Press
dispatch from Washington has been print
ed here, stating that the supreme court had
decided in favor Of the petitioners in the
celebrated Palmetto trade mark case.
Governor Tillman of South Carolina was
shown the dispatch at the Lindell Hotel
where he was hard at work as a member OF
the committee on resolutions Of the Pan
American bimetallic congress.
After reading the decision the governor
said: Il have been expecting this and for
that reason carried the case to the supreme
court. The object, however, is only to pro-
tect the state. Our label was the palmet-
to. and II would have been a very easy mat
ter for outsiders to have flooded the state
with whisky in counterfeit bottles and
counterfeit labels. This prevents them
from doing so. We do not. however, now
that We have won the case, expect to go
into the business and sell whisky under the
label outside of the state. The decision in
one way affects the dispensary law. 1 am
very glad to know the result Of the case"
