HOURS AGAINST THE PROPOSAL 1T
WAS ADOPTED BY 226 TO 1oi.
London, July 24.-The House of Commons,
sitting as Committee of the Whole on the Home
Rule bill discussed this evening Mr.. Gladstones
new financial clause, which proposes that Ire
lands contribution to the Imperial EXchequer
shall be one-thrd Of her total revenue for SIX
years.
The speech of the evening was made by Mr..
Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer in Lord
Salisbury's last Cabinet. For nearly two hours
he Analysed and criticised MIR. Gladstones financial
programme for Ireland. Nobody had ever contend
ed seriously before this Home Rule bill was intro
duced, he said, that Ireland was overtaXed. The
suggestion of the present proposal that the burden
of indirect taxation ought TO be reduced was
ridiculous. Mr. GOschen repudiated with con-
siderable heat the charge that the LAST SALISBURY
Cabinet had given sops for concillatory purposes
to Ireland. IL was untrue, he SAID. that troops
wer, kept In Ireland To Cypress the people. lhey
were retained on Irish SOIL simply because, from u
military point Of view, this disposition was con-
yenlcnt and eXp,dient.

THE DUKE is NOT A BEGGAR.
STILL. HE WILL BE GRATEFUL FOR AMER
ICAN AID.
MR.. AND MRS. PALMER TO GO TO WORK FOR
HIN IN EARNEsT-THE MARQUIS DE
RARBoLES WANTS TO BE RE
NEMBERED, TOO.

Poland Springs, Me, July 24.-Thomas W.
Palmer president of the Worlds Fair National
Commission, who is guest here. states
that letters of recent date from the Duke of
Veragua since his return TO Madrid show that
his financial affairs are in deplorable con-
dtion as was feared before his departure from
Chicago. When asked whether he thought the
Duke might consider it insult to his dignity
TO have financial aid offered to him by his Amer
lean friends. Mr.. Palmer laughed and remarked:
II don't believe there is a man in America or
Europe who would refuse to be pulled out of
hole and i assure you emphatcally that while
the Duke is not begging he and his family will
receive any assistance from the American people
as a graceful tribute
Regarding the 5000 story, Mr.. Palmer says 1t is
without foundation, the extreme limit OF the
possible pension would be 1900. Mr. Palmer says
that Mrs. Palmer is much interested as he is
in the subject. and Immediately upon their return
to Chicago they will take the matter in hand in
earnest
Madrid July 24.-The representative in this city
of the United Press to-day had interview with
the Marquis de Barboles, brother OF the Duke OF
Veragua. in regard TO the proposition that has
been made in the United States to collect fund
for the benefit OF the Duke. who has lost much
If not all of his fortune in bad business invest
ments and through going security for friends.
The Marquis while expressing himself in favor
of the proposal to raise fund, said he regretted
that the subscription was intended only for the
benefit of the Duke.
He declared that he equally with his brother,
was descendant of Columbus. He had spent
large of money during his visit in
company with his brother TO the United States.
and he poorer than the Duke of Veragua.
who is the head Of the family. The Marquis
thought that he should be considered in the mat
ter and said hcl intended TO write TO friends in
the United States telling them all the facts He
expressed the hope that the organizers of the fund
would see TO 1t that a third a quarter of what
ever sum might be collected given to him.
