On the 18th day of June Justice w.
H. Harris, of Jefferson district, issued
a warrant against Edward Roberts for
debt due Harlow Bros. the trial to
take place at Harris's residence at 10
o'clock, June 15th. The warrant was
given to Constable Isaac Green, but
was not served upon the defendant un-
i'll an hour previous to the time the
trial should have taken place. The de-
PENDANT having been resident of the
county for some years should have had
at least 5 days notice. That part of the
warrant in which judgment is entered
was left blank but the execution was
made out commanding Constable
Green, that of the goods and chattels
of the said Edward Roberts, to cause to
be made the sum Of 1896 with interest
thereon from the 18th of June, which
the said Harlow Bros. hath recovered
before him, w. 81. Harris, for debt;
also 50 60 for costs in said suit expend-
ed and have said debt and costs before
him, the said justice, within sixty days;
given under the hand Of w. Fl. Harris,
J. P, June -, 1895. At 10 o'clock June
18TH Harris was not at his office, but
was doing job of whitewasbing on St.
Asaph street, Alexandria, and the con-
stable left the warrants at Weston
Green's shoe shop, Alexandria. OF
course no trial was held, and constable
Green says he did not receive anything
for his service. What the $3.50 costs
are for is a mystery which probably
Harris can explain ifhe chooses to d.
so. Harris has been justice for 8 or
10 years and was recently re elected for
two more years.

THE BRITISH MINISTRY.

The Liberal ministry in Great Bri
tain has fallen. AS a result of the
governments defeat in the House Of
Commons on Friday last, lhep remier
Lord Rosebery, has resigned, and the
queen has summoned the Marquis o:
Salisbury, the conservative party lead
er, to form ministry. The marquis
will not consent unless Parliament is
dissolved. The Irish members of par.
lament are worried over the outlook.
Nothing is known regarding the per-
sonnet of the new ministry. but COM
plete harmony exists between the lib
eral unionists and the conservatives.
Lord Salisbury, it is said. will insist
that the government. before yielding
the seas, shall pass vote of an amount
necessary for the expenditures for two
months, TO enable a general election to
be held. The conservatives will thus
be in position of attack, instead Of
defense.
The failure of the government has
been considered inevitable for over q
year, and it has only been a question
whether it should come in a dissolu-
ton of parl sment and an appeal to
the country, or in resignation, as has
proved the case.

The HOUSE of Commons.

LONDON. June 24-The House Of
Commons was crowded with members
and visitors at the opening of today's
sitting. Upon the appearance OF Hon;
II. Campbell Zimmerman, secretary OF
state for war, the liberals gave him an
ovation. The Irish members sat silent:
Sir William Harcourt made 8 brief
statement, saying that as the adverse
vote on Friday was in effect vote OF
want of confidence in the secretary
of state for war, with whom
the government had associated
themselves, they had therefore
placed their resignation in the
hands of the queen, who had accepted
them. Mr. Balfour expressed regret
that the government had not dissolved
parliament, instead of resigning. The
government, he said, would hold Office
only until their successors had ben
appointed and he, therefore, would
move that the House adjourn; but it
was indispensable before this was done
that the Behring Sea bill be passed in
order that it might receive The royal
assent. In quitting Office, Sir William
Harcourt said he relinquished post,
which he had regarded as a great re-
sponsibility, as carrying with it higher
obligations than that of any other po-
siton under the crown.
Mr.. Balfour said that everybody in
the House had heard with sympathy
aud emotion the touching words with
which Sir William Harcourt had con-
cluded. All must feel, he said in &.
retrospect of the labors of the chancel-
lor of the exchequer that the work he
had done in the House had not been In
vain. Mr.. B1lfour further said he
thought himself that the proper consti-
tutonal course to adopt would have
been to dissolve parliament. For a
government in the position of the
present one to resign it was practically
equivalent to determination on their
part to put the burden Of office upon
the opposition. 1t was not in accord
ance with the best traditions of the
House.
At the conclusion of the remarks Of
Mr.. Balfour the Behring Sea bill passed
its third reading. DR.. Tanner, member
for Mid Cork, alone Directing, on the
ground that he would object to the
passage of any bill by the House while
the Irish land bill was dormant.
In the House of Lords Lord Rosebery
said the ministry felt it to be their duty
to resign. They would therefore hold
Office only until their successors were
appointed.
The House then adjourned after pass
ing the Behripg Sea bill,

CARDINAL GIBBoNs's VISIT.


An eminent CATHOLIC ccclesiastic says
of the recent Rome cable to the Lon
doa Standard that Clrdinal Gibbons
had presented to the Pope protest of
the American bishops against the con-
tinuance OF Archbishop Sltoli's mission
in the United States:
"The American BISHOPS have made
no such protest and the statement that
Cardinal Gibbons or anyone else is its
bearer is an unqualified falsehood.
Having an intimate acquaintance with
the purposes of the CARDINALS visit TO
Rome, / can assure you haiti had no
reference to any question Of really
great importance. He had not been in
Rome in ten years, and as it is usual to
make o decennial visit, the present
time was chosen as opportuue. Natur-
ally, being with the Pope for the first
time in so many years, the whole
range of church affairs in America will
be gone over, including, no doubt, the
success of the Pope's special mission in
America. But this will not be from
the standpoint Of any protests from the
American bishops. The time for that
has gone By. Furthermore, Cardinal
Gibbons is known as one of the mo t
polite men in the American hierarchy,
and he is the last one to be drawn into
protest or other internal dissentiou.
This would be the more true in matters
concerning Archbishop Satolli, which
have been shown to be very near to
the Pope's heart.
"The only pending questions of any
Importance are as to the appointment
of bishops at Sun Antonio, Sacramento
and Sioux Falls. Tie nominations
have been sent to Rome and the ap
pointments are expected daily. Three
names are under consideration in each
case. Cardinal Gibbons may be con-
suited on these and any other pending
questions, none of which, however,
involves consideration of the tenure
of Archbishop Satolli."

Objected to southern Songs.

DETROIT, Mich June 24.-While
practicing for the G. A. r. celebration
Saturday night, the big chorus of the
Detroit Choral Society, numbering $50
voices, refused to sing "rebel" songs.
It started with "Hail Columbia" and
''Star Spaneled Banner" When the
music struck "pixie'' only few voices
responded aud when Bonnie Blue
Flag was reached there was q dead
silence. One of the male singers ex-
planned angrily that the chorus regard
ed it IS an imposition to ask them to
sing rebel" songs The rest of the
chorus backed him and it took a lengthy
effort at persuasion by the instructor
before they would consent to sing the
southern songs.
