GLADSTONE TO RETIRE.
Parliament to Be Dissolved Within
Thirty Days.

London, Feb. %. According to the
Scottish unionist press, the conservative,
unionistand liberal election agents have
been warned that dissolution of pariia-
ment will, without doubt, occur within
thirty days, and instructions have been
given to make preparations for a new
election. II is alse said that Premier
Gladstone will probably not stand for re-
election, in which case Sir James Carmt-
chael will doubtless be the liberal candi-
date for the Midlothian seat, occupied by
Mr.. Gladstone since 1880.
ABANKER NOMINATED.
Mr.. Baton, formerly banker in New
York, has been nominated as q Glad
stOnian candidate for the constituency of
St Andrews burghs. In the last general
election this constituency was won by
the liberal unionists by ma iority of u.
An urgent parliamentary whip has been
issued to summon all liberal members to
their places at the opening of the House
of Commons on Monday. The House will
then deal with the parish councils bill in
the form in which that measure will be
returned again by the House of Lords.
THE LORDS DOOMED.
London, Feb. %, a. m.-The Daily
News, Gladstonian, enumerates in a
leader this morning thirteen charges
against the House of Lords.
All these concern the mutilation
or rejection of reform proposals
during the present parliamentary ses-
sion. ''The rapid growth of the popular
agitation against the House of Lords" it
comments, sis evidenced by daily meet
ings. We are now face to face vita one
of the very gravest problems of our con-
stitutional history. This odious institu-
tion of hereditary legislators cannot pos
sibly continue TO have a place in free
government -

MIR. Sickles-Not stricken out, because
his name IS not in the warrant There

This statement gave force to the re-
quest, which had previously been made
nregularly, that the warrant should be
read, and the clerk was directed to read
it to the House for information.

the fact that there were no names men

Mr.. Reed moved that MIR. Adams be
discharged, for the reason that his arrest
was unauthorized by the House.
Mr.. Springer objected to this form of
statement, holding that the arrest was
authorized by the House.
Mr.. Stockdale, dem, of Mississippi, as a
superior right, moved that the warrant
be quashed and further proceedings be
abandoned.

motion, stating that the gentleman from
Maine moves that the gentleman from
Pennsylvania be discharged -
Before vote was taken on Mr. Reeds
motion, Mr.. Bland moved that the House

DRY GOODS AFLAME.
Two Big Firms Burned Out at Water
bury With Heavy Losses.


Waterbury, Conn, Feb pa fire,
which broke out at o'clock this morning,
totally destroyed the big dry goods house
of Conlon Bros, on Exchange place, in the
heart of this city, ruined the stock com
pletely and swept away the dry goods
store of Miller Il Peck, one of the oldest
in the state The Miller & Peck building
was almost entirely burned The losses
are very heavy.
The Arcade building, occupied from top
to bottom by Conlon Bros, was built in
184S, and its destruction removes a land
mark.
Conlon Bros, carried about $4,000
worth of stock at this time, being en-
gagged in clearing sale. Usually their
stock was valued at over $780, coo.
The fire last night left nothing of Con-
Ion Bros stock, and of the building in
which their business was carried on moth
ing remains but the front wall
Miller & Peck carried about 100000
worth of goods OF this not one-tenth
can be saved. The stock of goods was in
sured for SG0,0O0. The building owned by
them, was damaged to the extent OF $l0-
600. The insurance on it is $500. This
building and the Arcade building are of
wood.
r. K. Brown, the owner of the Arcade
building, loses $4,000, but has insurance
of $4,000.
On the Miller & Peck annex Mr.. Brown
is damaged $4, 500 His insurance is s. 900
BY the falling of the heavily laden floors
in the Miller & Peck building several

The Police Think They Have Clews
That Will Lead to Arrests.


Ithaca, n Y, Feb. 22-The city au-
thorities think they have several clews
that will lead to the arrest of the sopho-
mores who caused the death of Mary
Jackson, the colored cook, by liberating
chlorine gas in the kitchen adjoining the
dining room where the freshmen were
holding their class supper Tuesday night
They think they know who purchased the
tools TO make the holes in the floor of the
kitchen and where some of the chemicals
came from. The suspected students are
being watched and will be arrested if
they try to leave town.
Students Patterson, Mcneil and McCul-
loch, who were suffering from the fumes
Of the gas, are slowly recovering. Elk
citing developments are expected, for
physicians say that any one who knew
how to arrange the chemicals and ap-
paratus used to produce chlorine gas
must have known how deadly the gas is
that was generated.
State Civil Service Commissioner Van
Vleet is foreman of the coroner's jury
that is sitting on the case.
THE PRESIDENT ASKS NO CLEMENCY.
President Schurman, of Cornell Uri-
versity, said to-day: In connection with
this sad and deplorable circumstance,
two facts should be stated:
81. 1t is not known that the perpetra-
tors of the act are members of the uni
versity.
-. 1t is known that the act was not
the act of the sophomore class, or of any
other class in the university.
THE individual offenders, whoever
they may be, will, it is hoped, be discov-
cred and punished according to the Sc
verify Of the offence. 1t has been the
policy of the Cornell University to treat
its students not as school-boys, but as
men. They are answerable to the law
for their conduct, and the civil authori-
ties have for years past under
stood that no immunity was ex-
pected or desired by the university
authorities for students guilty of viola
ting the law, or of conduct unbecoming
men or gentlemen. This policy has re-
suited in a very high standard of char
acter and conduct among Cornell stu
dents. And this reputation cannot be
wrested from them by the act of one or
more individuals, whether members of
the university or not, who are responsible
for the deplorable occurrence Of Tuesday

RETURN OF THE EDITORS.
They Will Make Favorable Reports on
the Piedmont Section.

Raleigh, N. c., Feb. 22.-The medico
editorial party which has made an exten-
sive tour through the south with the pur-
pose of examining the sanitary qualities
of the Piedmont range, especially in North
Carolina, will leave for the north this
evening upon the Old Dominion line.
They were entertained last night by the
chamber of commerce in Raleigh,
at a handsome banquet, which was
preceded by a reception, in
which the ladies of the city took
part, and was followed by social gather
ering at the club. The chief justice and
associate justices Of the supreme court
were among those who received the dis
tinguished visitors. The physicians ex-
pressed themselves as most highly pleased
with reference to the natural conditions
which obtain in certain parts of North
Carolina, and which are favorable for the
purpose Of sanitation.
Their report will shortly be published
in the medical journals and given TO the
press Because of the object of their
visit and the wide reputation Of the indi-
vidual members Of the party, this tour
through the south has attracted wide

A CAUCUS ON THE TARIFF.
The Democratic Members to Meet in
Conference on Monday.

The Democratic Members to Meet In
Conference on Monday.
Washington, Feb. 22.-Owing to the
contention between the senator's who dis
agree with the policy Of the finance COM
mittee in the construction of the tariff
bill, and the inability of the committee to
concede the demands made by those urging
higher rates Of duty, and the transfer Of
leading articles from the free to the
dutiable list, it has been decided to hold a
caucus of the democratic senators on
Monday morning.
Senator Butler, of South Carolina, be-
gan to circulate "a call for the caucus after
the Senate convened this morning, and q
number Of senators prominent for their
alleged opposition TO sthe Wilson bill
gathered in the senator's committee room
TO discuss the situation. Those reported
TO have been present are Senators Hill,
Caffery, German, Gibson Brice, Smith
and Butler. Although no special object
IS assigned in the call, the tariff is known
TO be the matter upon which the caucus
will be called.
From remarks dropped by senator's
after the conference today, it is apparent
that duty on coal and sugar will be in
sisted upon, that iron will not be omitted
in the pressure 10 be brought to bear
upon the finance committee. While it
does not seem possible that the committee
would consider for moment any attempt
to take wool off the free list, il is said
that this is discussed as probability.
The wool men have been making deter
mined fight, aud have made some converts
on the democratic side of the chamber.
Senator Brice Of Ohio is said TO be urg-
ing.upon the committee the necessity Of
at least a small duty on wool. The wool
men have hope that they may receive
some help from the Senate, but their sem
ators assert that free wool is bound TO be
in the bill
The filling Of the committee vacancies
caused by the retirement of Senators
White and Walthall will also be consid-
cred by the caucus
THE SUB COMMITTEE IN SESSION.
After the two days lull, caused by the
withdrawal OF Senator Mills from the
Senate sub committee on finance and his
renewal of ASSOCIATION with that organi-
zatiOn the sub committee, as soon as the
Senate adjourned this evening resumed
its sitting and took up the tangled ends of
the tarin bill in the hope of reaching
some conclusion before the caucus meets
Monday.
DThe efforts to get the democrats to-
gether In caucus has aroused some feel
ing. for the call is being circulated by
democrats who are said 10 be obiecting
TO the policy pursued by the committee.
Members Of the finance committee this
Afternoon denied any knowledge officially
Of such a call II does not appear prOba-
ble that any caucus can be had that will
prove binding upon the party, and II will
probably result in what an senate eau
cuses prove 20 be. mere conferences where
