THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
GIadstone,s Action in Regard to the
Liability Bill.
By Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, Feb. 81, 1S94.-Conmenting on
yesterdays proceedings in the House of Com
mons, the Westminster Gazette admits the
total failure of the Government to carry its
point, but advises the Radicals not to lose
their temper The trades unionists, it says,
are really blameable for the iasco, in that
they did not insist on the passage of the EN-
ployers Inability bill, and resent the mutila-
tion to which it was subjected by the House
of Lords
The Pail Mall Gazette says the conspiracy
of the Liberal party wirepullers to pick a
quarrel with the House of Lords has resulte d
in placing Mr.. Gladstone in a pathetic po-
Sition.
The measures of the Radicals failing, and
their plots becoming abortive, they will
clamor for his resignation.
The Globe says the Government is desir-
Gus of going before the country on the ques-
tion of the attitude of the House of Lords as
preventive of useful law making, and re-
lied upon Yesterdays division in the House
of Commons to assist them in their outcry
against the Upper House. The tactics OF the
Government were foiled by the Opposition,
hence the rage of the Radicals.

SECESSION IN BRAZIL.
By Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, Feb. 81, 1S94.-A despatch from
Montavideo, by the way of Libson, says that
all the vessels of the feet of the Brazilian
Government, with the exception of the dyna-
mite cruiser Nictheroy, have joined the
squadron of the insurgents and sailed away
from the harbor of Rio.
The United Press correspondent at Lisbon
supplements the despatch from Monteyideo
concerning the movements of the Govern
ment feet at Rio with the statement that
most Of the Brazilian advices received
through Montevideo come from insurgent
sources. The report of the departure of the
vessels has not been confirmed and the state
ment that they have joined the insurgents is
not generally credited.

KEARSARGE'S CREW
All Hands Arrived Here
This Morning on the
City of Para.
GREETED BY A LARGE CROWD
officers Reticent, Because the Mat
ter Will Be Officially In
quired Into.

NEW YORK, Feb. 81, 1S94.-The Columbian
Line steamer City of Para steamed up the
harbor at eleven o'clock this morning with
the officers and crew of the Inflated United
States Corvette Kearsarge on board. There
were 202 all told The Para carried flags
and signals at the top of each of her three
masts and Old Glory at the stern. The
wharf, at the foot of Canal street, was
decked with bunting without, and an i'm
mense American flag formed canopy over
the gangway. The Navy Yard tugs Markesta,
under Captain Crowninshield, and the
Traffic, were in waiting to take the naval
to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Newspaper
men boarded the City of Para at Quarantine
and from the United States Revenue Cutter,
as she was coming up the upper bay, while
others were in the crowd which Swarned the
docks, awaiting the steamers arrival. In
the crowd were naval officers and relatives
and friends of the officers and sailors.
THE OFFICERS RETICENT.
There was disposition on the part of the
officers to be reticent regarding the particu-
lars of the loss of their famous ship. They
explained that as the matter was to be made
the subject of official inquiry, it was not
proper for them to talk. They spoke freely,
however, of their experiences after the
wreck.
1t was on the evening of Friday, February
2, that the Kearsarge, steaming along in the
Caribbean Sea, on her way from San
Domingo to Bluefelds, struck on the treach-
erous Roncandor Reef.
There was fresh northeast wind blowing
at the time, but the sea was calm. Admiral
Stanton, Captain o. F. Hoyerman and sew
eral of the officers were on deck, and care
full watch was being kept for the reef.
Hardly had the breakers been heard ahead
than the vessel struck. Every effort was
made to back off, but the vessels momentum,
added to the force of the currents and the
wind abaft, made the effort futile. All
hands were at once put to work then for
to tighten the ship forward and to get
her up securely on the reef, for to have
slipped off then with the possibility of water
russing into the holes which might be in the
the bottom, meant that she would founder
and possibly all on board be lost The wis
dom of this was apparent shortly when the
Kearsafge was found to be leaking. Heavy
guns were thrown overbo ard, and to
ease the strain on the hull the
masts were cut away. AL night long
every man was kept at work in
the preparations making to get off in
the morning. Meantime the breakers
came over the decks, carrying away the
steam launch and other movable things be-
fore washing down below decks. Before
morning the officers rooms were full of
water, and, as clothes were the last things
thought of, many were left with hardly a
rag to their backs.

receivers sale on application of Receiver
Theophilus Butts of Hoboken. Mayor Simon
Kelly was auctioneer. There were few bids.

POLICEMAN REUBEN SIMPSON
Arrested a Boy who Broke a Pane of

President Reuben Simpson, of the
Board of Aldermen, proved to the salts
faction of the pedestrians who were
on Dahforth avenue, Greenville at a quarter
past nine o'clock last evening, that he can
run when in pursuit of anybody as well as
he can run for office. While Mr.. Simpson
was on his way home last evening
he saw thirteen year old Dudley
Briggs of No. 247 Terhune avenue
throw stone which shattered a pane
of glass in lamp-post. Forgetting for
the moment, that he was boy once him
self, the dignified Alderman started on run
for Briggs. The youngster saw him coming
and gave hIm lively chase. The lad was
overtaken at Ocean avenue, however, and
was marched to the Fifth precinct
station house. Upon arriving at
the lookup Mr.. Simpson became more
lenient and refused to make a charge
against young Brigg. After receiving
severe lecture from Captain Nugent the
youngster declared that he ssdidn't mean
nuthin,n and that he wouldn't do it again."

the unqualified statement that the Govern
ment has become seriously divided on the
question of the maintenance of the navy.
Part of the Cabinet is strongly in favor of
maintaining the present standard OF the
navy, some going so far as to advocate a
considerable increase in its efficiency at
whatever cost may be necessary. On the
other hand. other members of the Cabinet,
including Mr.. Gladstone, refuse to place
themselves in the attitude of favoring the APP
preparation of money necessary to carry out
the ideas of those of their colleagues favor
ing greater navy All attempts to settle
the differences on this question have thus far
failed, and the matter is still unsettled.

ovERDREW HIS ACCOUNT e45o,ooo
By Cable to the United Press.

LONDON, Feb. 81, 1S94-The Standard
says that Adrian Hope, one of the largest
depositors in the Bank of England, was per-
mitted by that institution to overdraw his
account to the amount of 100000, Hope
having lost all his deposits in speculation.
Subsequently the bank made demand upon
Hope for 9350,000 which was not forthcom-

600 to protect Hope against absolute bank
Iuptcy, which would have involved the total
loss to the bank of his indebtedness

COUNSELLOR D0UGHERTY's CASE.
Acid of the Cider. United With Lead
Pipe, Caused His Illness.

PIpe, caused H1s AllnesSs
Counsellor VIM. NJ Dougherty, who has
begun proceedings against P. McArdle, a
saloonkeeper of this city, for damages on ac-
count of the injury to his health, occasioned
by drinking some of McArdle's cider, is de-
termined to push matters to the uttermost.
Some time in June, last year, the counsellor
drank glass of McArdle's cider. After
wards he became sick and his health was SO
bad that towards the latter end of the year
his life was actually in jeopardy. Mr..
Dougherty consulted an eminent physician
in New York, who immediately diagnosed
the disease as that of lead poisoning, conse-
quent on drinking cider. From a statement
made by Mr.. Dougherty, it appears that
McArdles cider is drawn through twenty
five feet of lead pipe before it reaches the
customer.
"The malic acid of the cider" he said,
s'uniting with the lead, formed poison
which nearly settled me. I have positive
proof that such is the case and in the public
interest mean to push this matter

A FEMALE LAW STUDENT.
She Wants To Be Examined So She
Can Practice Law.
Special to the Jersey City Ne,rs.

Special to the Jersey City Ne1rs.
TRENTON, Feb 81, 1S94-The Justices Of
the Supreme Court have a knotty problem to
sit up at night with and burn the midnight
oil. 1t is to decide whether Mary Phil
brooke is to be allowed to practice in the
courts of New Jersey. Mary is a bright
looking young Jersey girl of about twenty
three years of age. Her home is in Hoboken,
and she has been studying in the Office OF
Lawyer j. F. Minturn. She has been pouring
over Blackstone for the past three years and
thinks she knows it well enough to face
written and oral examination before the
Board of Examiners. Yesterday she and her
mother came to court and right into the
court room and sat there among the several
hundred lawyers, and the would-be young
female advocate had the privilege of sitting
in the court room and hear the motion made
for examination, and saw the Justice of the
Supreme Court consult about the matter.
They took her papers and the matter is to
come before the whole Supreme Court some
day soon. She will not be examined this
term, but if the court decides that she is q
proper person to practice in the courts she
can be examined at the June examination.
The lawyers are much interested in the
case, for the young woman is the first female
law student in the State, and the first
woman to apply for admission to the bar OF
New Jersey. The decision of the Supreme
Court will be looked after with much inter-
est.
