DENOUNCED THE LORDS.
Speeches Made at National Liberia
Federation Meeting.

Speeches Made at a National Liberal
Federation Meeting.
PORTSMOUTH, Feb. 1.-THE National
Liberal Federation continued its meeting
to-day. 1t indorsed the Newcastle pro-
gramme and unanimously adopted a res
olution to the effect that the habitual dis
regard OF the national will by the House
of Lords was an intolerable abuse, and
assuring the Ministry of it's enthusiastic
support for whatever measures were
adopted to secure to the Commons para
mount authority. In the speeches on the
resolution the Lords were denounced as
fraudulent company, using their political
positions for their own pecuniary inter-
est, and that what the people wanted was,
first, quarrel with and then the de-
struction OF their great enemy.
There was ali enormous meeting in the
drill hall tonight. Sir William Har-
court, Chancellor of the EXcheQuer, ridI-
culed Joseph Chamberlain's idea OF
national party as impracticable. Refer
ring to the position of the House of
Lords, he said that Lord Salisbury had
thrown down the gage OF battle and they
would not shrink from the fight. The
audience here rose in a body, cheering
frantically, and waving their hats and
handkerchietS.
Sir William went on: "We have to
face probably the rashest and most reck-
less leader that ever headed the Tory
party. SO extreme have been his coun-
sells that even his own followers have
shrunk from his violence. The work of
the House Of Lords during the last fort
night had marvelously opened the eyes
of the public. ''Give them rope enough"
the speaker exclaimed; "let US have few
more such fortnights; let it be burnt into
the minds of the country that the Lords
have become champions of all abuses and
enemies of reform, for them to maui and
mangle when the cup is fullest and the
time is ripe. The verdict OF the people
will determine once for all whether what
Lord Russell calls the whisper of fashion
is to prevail over the will of the people,"
Loud and prolonged cheers were given

Addresses by w. H. Mills and John p.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 1.-THE State
Board of Trade held its regular monthly
meeting yesterday afternoon, Vice-Presi-
dent Emery occupying the Chair.
In speaking of the Transmississippi
Congress, w. FL. Mills said that while
not depreciating the delegates present he
expressed the opinion that the congress
would fail of the achievement of practical
good, because it's members We're APP
pointed rather on account of their ability
to be present than for their peculiar
knowledge of the subjects to be discussed.
lie w ould not be able to attend owing to
the press OF business in his office, but he
hoped that the congress would he largely
attended. If the questions affecting the
West were intelligently considered, great
good might be accomplished.
The board voted to contribute $50 to-
ward the expenses of the congress.
General y. p. Chapman read very in
teresting report, replete with statistics,
on the industrial revenues of the State.
John p. Irish detailed his experiences
on the occasion of his recent trip to
Washington as agent of the State Board
of Trade in the matter of presenting the
position of the California fruit-growers in
regard to the tariff before Congress. He
said that the impression entertained was
that Californians were not in earnest;
that fruit-growers had passed resolutions
pledging themselves to furnish necessary
tunds and had not done so; that they had
condemned Secretary Morton for refer
ring to political farmers and had not
shown real interest in their own needs.
MIR. Irish stated that he appeared before
the Ways and Means Committee and pre-
sented the case of the truit-growers to the
best of his ability.
w. H. Mills explained his theory OF
hard times, and incidentally mentioned
that they were productive OF movements
in population, so that heavy immigration
to this State may be looked for.

the resolution of Congress, Worthington
c. Ford, Chief of the Bureau of Statistics
OF the Treasury Department, sent that
body to-day an elaborate report upon
''wool and manufactures OF WOOL" Ii
says: "The increase in production IN
foreign countries, especially in Australia,
South America and Africa. has been far
greater than in the United States. While
the American clip has trebled since 1880,
the Australian clip mas increased tenfold,
that of South America ninefold, and that
of South Africa hyeiold."
The report shows the year 1892 gave the
wool-producing interests, even in the
most favored countries, as Australia, a
setback. 1t says: THAT the sheep raising
interests of the world are passing through
a perlod of depression is not to be denied.
I ow prices for wo0ls have reacted upon
production by reducing the profits de-
lived from woods, and diminishing the
tamptation to extend production. We're

Times and Killed.
PRESCOTT (AriZ.), Feb. 4-Private
Reillyan, Company G, Eleventh Intan-
try, stationed at Fort Whipple, who was
shot in the head and sslightly wound
ed two weeks ago by Frank McQuilken,
a gambler was shot four times and killed
last night by Frank Suffice, barkeeper
at the Royal saloon. Reillyan had fight
with Suffice on the night he was shot be-
fore, and while in the hospital being
treated for his wounds sent word to Suffice
that he intended killing him. He was
discharged from the hospital few days
since, and last night came to town, and
going to the saloon where Suffice is en-
pIoyed, drew shotgun and commenced
shooting. The latter returned the file,
with the results as above.
When the news reached Whipple of
Reillyan's death, it was only by the great
precantion taken by Colonel De Russey
and other officers that his comrades were
prevented from taking their guns and
ayenging his death. Two officers with
drawn swords and sidearms stood guard
over the gun-racks of the company to
prevent the troops from obtaining pos
session of their guns.
The saloon in which the killing oc-
Cured is the same one in which Reillyan
was shot before, and is in disreputable
portion of the town.
Further trouble is feared.

THE PARIS ROMR-TURowER.

THE PARIS BOMB-THRoWER.
PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE police say it has
been definitely established at the Hotel
Terminus that the bomb-thrower' name
is Emile Henry. He was born at BARGE
Iona, Spain. twenty-five years ago, of
French parents. He has been in Paris
since the middle of January, coming
from London.
Henry remarked to-day that he alone
was responsible for the explosion in the
cafe: that Valiant was a child to put
nails in his bomb to blow up the bour-
geOis, that there was better material than
that, and he was surprised that his bomb
did not have more effect.
Henry is guarded by two detectives,
who have instructions according to the
French custom, to endeaVOr to induce the
prisoner to talk.
1t is reported that the Prefect has re-
Ceived advices from the police of London
that the explosion at the Hotel Terminus
was only part of scheme which Henry
and his companions had arranged before
leaving London. 1t was the intention to
commit as many outrages as possible, and
1t IS believed the prisoner s associates will
be heard from before long. The prisoner,
according to the police, undoubtedly came
from London in company with three
| other anarchists, and the London police
assert the belief that Henry and his ac-
completes had planned a terrible explo-
sion in the Paris Opera house, which was
to include the cutting off the gas supply.
The prisoner is a brother of Fortunate
Henry, now undergoing imprisOnmenta at
ClalrvauX for melting 10 murder. They
are sons of a man who was a member of
the Commune, and sentenced to death for
being absent from court when his trial
was called. He had fled the country and
afterward died in Spain.
