IRElAND'S FATE BEING DECIDED
Second Reading Of the Home Rule Bill
in the Commons.
BALFoURs BALEFUL PREDICTIONS
The Grand Old Man Makes Powerful
Plea in Noble Cause--His Voice and
Intellect Unimpaired.
Associated Press.

<AoSoSA1ecN ACoos
London, April 21.-The commons was
crowded today with people anxious to
witness the final contest over the Sec
ond reading of the home rule bill. DIR.
Tanner, nationalist member from Mid
die Cork, was on hand early bearing
with him beautiful bouquet of flowers
for Gladstone sent from Ireland, and
accompanied by the inscription "All
blessing and power to the friend Of
poor and distressed Ireland; may God
prosper you"
Balfour spoke at length on the bill.
He could not believe that this childish
imitation Of the United States consti-
tuition would ever commend Itself to
the judgment Of the British people. To
make 1t law would lead ultimately to
the disintegration OF tie empire. In
closing, Balfour said: IF you commit
this great political crime, you make
yourselves responsible for an irrepara-
Bile national disaster, and all hopes Of
peaceful and united Ireland vanish
forever"
Prolonged cheers greeted Gladstone
when he arose to address tie house,
He was in splendid form, his voice be-
ing clear and full. The principle wea-
pons of tho opposition, were bold asser-
tion, persistent axaggeration, constant
misconstruction, and copious, arbitrary
and baseless prophecies. In closing,
Gladstone said
you cannot be surprised that we
have undertaken the solution of this
great question, and as on one hand 1t
is not the least of the arduous efforts
of the liberal party, 80 on the other
hand it will have its place in history;
aye, and not remote, but early history,
as not the least durable. fruitful and
blessed among its accomplished acts
Morley, chief secretary for Ireland,
moved a closure, and 1t was adopted.
A vote was taken on the announcement
and the bill passed its second ieadin on
a vote of 347 to 304.

STORM IN CHICAGO.

The Natives Of Tropical Countries Suf-
fer from the Cold.
Chicago. April 21.-The storm which
has been raging for three days. still
continues. At late hour tonight sleet
was falling fast, and the wind blowing
nearly forty miles an hour. 1t is one
of the most severe and long continued
storms known here since the weather
bureau was established. The Worlds
Fair buildings stood the storm well, no
damage being done to any of them,
with the exception of breaking some
plain glass, and overhanging statues.
In Midway Plaisance, where the Egyp-
tian, Javanese, japanese, Turkish. and
other villages. are erected the damage
was most serious. The most serious
feature of the storm. however. has been
the effect of the December weather pre-
vailing upon the people from tropical
climates living in these villages. Jaw
anese, Egyptians and others with their
thin clothes and inadequate protection
from the Icy blasts in their lightly con-
structed houses. have suffered greatly.

NEW YORK COMMENT.

New York, April 21.-When the upper
crust of the $1OO,OOO,OOO gold reserve
was removed, the financial world stood
by and witnessed the going of 1t, and
yet tonight, in this financial center, no
quaking of the earth Is felt. and folks
who are most interested are wondering
why there has been no crash of worlds
nor wreck Of spheres. Indeed, some
financlers are looking into each others
faces and calculating as to whether
they have been fanatic or uncannily
superstitious. The engagement of gold
for exfort from here on steamers sail
ing tomorrow and on Tuesday, amount
to $6,175,0OO, and from Boston, $75O.OO0.
There was much diversity Of opinion
in tn Financial community during the
day over Secretary Carlisle's statement.
in the main the judgment is unfavora-

of the statements ambiguity. On the

circular, but the sterling exchange mar
ket opened in utter confusion, reflect
ing the very unusual occurrence Of a
scare among the regular remitters
against foreign credits. The demand
for sterling bills this time proceeding
from bankers doubtful about the gold
payment of treasury notes and anxious
to anticipate their payments so heavily
as to force up sterling rates to the
highest rates touched since the panic
of 1884. In the midst of this turmoil
foreign lenders of money called in nu-
merohs loans, and these notes being
drawn with the gold clause, payment
in specie in at least one case demanded
and obtained. presented at the sub
treasury, were promptly redeemed in
gold. Call loans today were able TO
secure accommodation early in the day
at five to six per cent. but those who
delayed supplying their wants were
forced to pay ten to twelve. The posted
rates for sterling exchange were raised
to 4Ss IL % 4.9O IL, and little dispos-
ition to draw. The situation improved

INVADING THE GOLD RESERVE
YhG Financial Situation Discussed ata
Cabinet Meeting.
CLEVELAND AND CARLISLE AGREE
Heavy Shipments OF Gold to Canada-And
Corresponding shrinkages In the
Treasury Reserve Fund.
Associated Press.


Washington April 21.-At cabinet
meeting this morning, at which all the
members of the cabinet were present
with the exception of Secretary Her-
bert. of the navy department, the
financial situation, it is understood,
was almost the exclusive topic Of dis
cussion. The meeting lasted for two
hours and half, and was the longest
session of the cabinet since the new
administration came into power. When
the treasury department closed its
doors this afternoon the gold reserve
Of $1OO,O00,0OO was increased to the ex-
tent of $2,5OO,OOO to $S,OOO,OOO. When the
day opened there was in the treasury
$1S5,000 of free gold. This amount was
increased by gold offers from the West,
agglegating about $1,25O,OOO. The large
Withdrawals of gold for shipment from
New York cut this down to such an ex-
tent that when the cabinet met Secre-
tary Carlisle found that the oroer for
gold up to that time about 1 o'clock),
had wiped out the free gold and invad-
ed the gold reserve to the extent of
$2.557 900. AS far as it can be officially
ascertained, this amount was taken out
of the gold reserve today for export to-
morrow, although it is unofficially stat
ed that 100000 in gold, exclusive Of that
taken out at New York was withdrawn
from the sub-treasury at Boston for ex-
port to Canada. If so, this would make
about $5,OOO0OO in gold taken out of the
country for shipment tomorrow, and
leave the gold reserve invaded to the
extent of $9OOO,O0O. 1t is believed that
this invasion will he but temporary,
and that within a few days the depict
ed reserve will be restored to the or
iginal figures of $100,OOO,OOO While moth
the decision of the treasury department
in regard to the payment in gold Of
the treasury notes of 1890, the fact that
these notes are BEING paid in gold upon
presentation proves conclusively that
they will, for the present, at least, be
redeemed as heretofore. The construc-
tion placed upon Secretary Carlisle's
statement given to the press last night,
was that when he reached the limit of
the gold reserve he would exercise his
discretion and pay this class of notes
when presented for redemption, in sill
yer. To this extent only are the oc-
currences of today a surprise. 1t can
be stated with positiveness, that there
is no disagreement ON the financial Sit
uation between the president and Sec
retary Carlisle, or among the members
of the cabinet

MANIPULATING STOCKS

New York April 21.-The course of the
stock market today was erratlc in the
extreme, owing to the publication of
Secretary Carlisle's statement, and the
conflicting rumors from washington re-
garding the probable financial policy
of the administration. Purchases by
London saved the market from bad
break in the early trading, but the
bears promptly renewed their attacks
when they found that gold engage
ments would be heavier than expected,
and that the banks and other lenders
were disposed to exact higher rates
from borrowers. M

New York, April 21. =. Secretary Car

was the general topic Of conversation
on Wall street this afternoon. 1t is not

to comprehend the secretary's intention
with reference to treasury notes.
