TO TEST THE QUESTION.
An Interesting Matter Before the House of
 Commons

An Interesting Matter Before the House oi Commons.
 London, May 13.-Messrs. William w. P. Wolmer, George Nathaniel Curzon and William St. John Broderick, respec- lively members of parliament for West Edinburgh, Southwest Lancashire and Surrey, and eldest sons of the earl of SeTborne, Lord Scarsdale, and Wis count Middleton, are carrying out their intention to test the question whether heirs to peerages sitting as members of the house of commons are entitled to remain in that body after they become peers To-day Mir Wolmer, formerly a courtesy lord with the title of Wscount, who has just succeeded to the peerage in consequence of the death of his fla ther, the earl of SeIborne, appeared in his accustomed place in the house of commons, ignoring the fact that he had inherited a seat in the upper house
 MT. Labouchere rose and asked the speaker whether Q peer had any right to a place within the bar of the house of commons.
 Speaker Gully asked viscount Vol mer, otherwise Lord Selborne, whether he had applied for summons to the house of lords.
 viscount Wolmer replied that he had not made such an application, and fur thermore that he did not intend to do so until the house of commons decided that he was no longer a member of that body.
 The speaker ruled that that question had already been decided by the house, and called upon Lord Selborne to with draw behind the bar which he did.
 Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, said that in view of the arising of an event so unusually and constitutionally important the house ought to take the matter under advise ment and establish a course to be pur- sued in regard to such cases. A person becoming peer, he said, must necessa- rily become a lord in parliament. It would be impossible for him to deprive himself of a seat in the house of lords He thought, however, that 1t would be proper to refer the question to a com- mittee such as was appointed to deal with the Coleridge case
 MT. Ba1four agreed with Sir William, but Mir Chamberlain differed from him, saying that his sympathies were wholly with Viscount Wolmer. After further the matter was put over until

Large Orders Wore Received from the
 Other Side to Take rofits.
 New York, May 13.-The reports from the west of damage by frost to the crops were evidently cabled to London yesterday and naturally at the opening of the exchange here this morning there were large orders from the other side to take profits. Estimates place the foreign selling at fully 5O,0OO shares.
 The more or less senational reports about the crop situation induced the local traders to change front and there was liberal supply of stocks from this quarter. As a result the market was rather ragged throughout.
 Tn the early trading prices declined A@11a per cent, Louisville and Nash vile, the grangers. Sugar and Missouri Pacific making the largest losses. This was followed by a buying movement in Distillers and Sugar. Distillers rose to 24ss and Sugar to 1177s, the best prices for months. Chicago Gas after breaking to 73B rose to 76%, but later returned to 74A. Chicago Gas was ner- vous throughout because of the uncer- tainty about the bills affecting the company now before Governor Altgeld,
 In the trading the bears displayed more courage. One of their principal arguments was the alleged sale of some four. million dollars of bonds by the Chicago and Western road. Local officials could not confirm the re- port. At any rate it had an unsettling influence and induced free selling. Sugar declined IFS to 116, Atchison to S5s, Big Four 1A to 431s Burlington and Quincy IS to Ts1b, Chicago Gas 2A to 74A, Northwest 1A to 97s, St. Paul 1 to 66ss, Rock Island 1% to 6S%, Distillers 1ss to 231A, Michigan Central to 1O15s, Lead 1s4 to 34%. New Eng land 1ss to 4215, Northern Pacific pre- ferred 1% to 25A, Omaha 1 to 97h, Union Pacific 13s to 16b, Wabash pre- ferred 19s to 1912 and Western Union 1 to 931a.
 The market closed rather weak in tone with prices from A to IFS per cent. below Saturdays finals. In the total Atchison figured for 46,000 shares, and Distillers for 115,375 shares.
 Railway bonds were strong in the early dealings, but later reacted with the stock market. Total sales were SS, ,S9S, ,000

THE OBJECTION sUsrA1NED.
Lively Tilt at the Court Martial of Medicf
 Inspector kerschner.

| Lively Tilt at the Court Martial of Medical Inspector kerschner.
 Brooklyn, May 1S.-The trial of Medi- cal Inspector Kerschner by court mar tial was begun to-day Dr. Keschner's counsel are Joseph II. Choate and D. B. Hlnsdale.
 Dr. Kerschner is accused of forward ing on or about March 1, 1895, to the surgeon general, substantial copies of certain reports, letters, endorsements in violation Of naval regulations, and also with denying under oath that he had done so. The perjury is alleged to have been committed before a court of in- quiry held at Kingston, Ja., in April last. It is stated that a trial of this kind is without precedent in the annals of the navy. The charges against the accused were read as already published.
 MT. Choate entered an objection to the first specification of the first charge stating that the act charged was not in violation of article 235 as alleged. He held that letter to the surgeon general was not in violation of the article; that In fact 1t was cummuni- cation to the navy department and that an officer of the navy has perfect right to inform the head of his de- partment of what is going on.
 MT, Choate and the judge advocate had a tilt lasting several minutes in regard to the provisions of article 235, especially on the distinction between private and official correspondence.
 MT. Choate's objection was not sus- tained.
 Dr. Kerschner entered plea of not guilty to all the specifications.
 The prosecution then took up the case. The judge advocate offered in evidence the written proceedings of the Kingston court of inquiry. MT. Choate objected to the admission of the evil dence. There was a long argument on the point between the judge advocate on the one hand and Messrs. Choate and Hinsdale on the other. The latter held that the admission of this evil dence would be unjust, that it was not the best obtainable and that it was not legal evidence. The objection was sus- tained by the court.

 In memory of Miss Elizabeth Bishop, who died Dec. 9, 1789, in the 20 year of her age.
 Nor wealth, nor writ, nor youthful
 charms,
 Nor lover's tender care, Could save one hour from Deaths cold
 arms,
 Nor melt his heart to spare. Big prospects of the nuptial bed, And ali that lovers know, At my sad fate evaneshed,
 And left my friend in woe. Look on my tomb and fit for heaven, My death should teach you this; TO mortals life was only given To fit for endless bliss.

Constantine Victoria died in this
city yesterday. He was about 9S
years old He was born in the
Ionian Islands, and took part in
the Greek rebellion which resulted
in the independence of the country,
fighting under the leadership Of
Marco Bozzaris. He took part in
the famous battle of August, 1928,
when in one night attack the Greek
army of 1920 men destroyed the
Turkish force OF over 4 1000. Victoria
always maintained that the &C
cepted histories Of that event are
incorrect, and that Bozzaris fell at
the hands Of his own men.

IRON MAKERS HOPEFUL.
A Much Better Outlook for Their
Products Causes Feeling of
Security.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-The Iron
Age today says: "In spite OF the
continued low prices of iron and
steel products, a more hopeful feel
ing is spreading among manufac-
turers. This is due principally to
the fact that costs have been stead
lily reduced until now makers feel
that they are partly safe in their
own territory. This applies to pig
iron as we'll as to steel. In the lat
ter, basis upon hearth furnace has
become the salvation Of eastern
makers. With modern improve
ments hearth steel can be produced
in the east at a cost very close to
the price at which Western and
Bessemer can be laid down in the
eastern markets. This is phase
Of recent developments which has
inspired so much confidence that
considerable improvements in roll
ing mill and steel plants are either
under way or are in contemplation.
"The current week has brought
little that is sensational. In Be sse-
mer pig Pittsburg records the sale
Of one n-thousand-ton block at
$40, but has done relatively little in
steel billets or wire rods. On the
whole, the market is steady.
"The advance in the prices OF
wrought iron pipe seems to have
had the usual effort of causing buy
ers to test the sincerity Of sellers
by keeping out Of the market.
ain metals an advance is noted.
Copper is weaker, while lead has
declined under the pressure Of
moderate sales"

Duclas Salinas, publisher OF Las
Dos Naciones (The two Nations)
and author OF "Riches Of Mexico
and its Institutions" which was is
sued under the authority of the
Mexican government, criticiZes the
action Of the Ways and Means
committee Of Congress in tamper-
ing with the Free Zone, or "Zona
Libra" as it is called in Mexico.
"If the resolution presented to the
House passes as now before the
Senate and becomes law, 1t will
work great harm to our trade"
said the Mexican journalist in an
interview.

try took the trade with Mexico if
teen years ago." concluded Mr..
Salinas, twill make terms to get
back and will urge retaliation.
This would be a calamity. Our
trade has increased over every rail-
road, and the year 1895 promises to
be the greatest in the volume Of
our history. The avarice Of a few
men threatens to dissolve what
has taken years to build up, for the
Mexicans are peculiar people and

Under one Government.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-One Of the
most important matters to be con-
sidered at the annual meeting OF
the Intercollegiate Athletic Asso-
citation, to be held at the Fifth
Avenue hotel on Saturday, will be
the formation OF an alliance be-
tween the governing body over col
lege athletes and the amateur
athletic association, for the bringing
about OF an utilization between the
two great organizations, control
ling athletic pastimes in this coun-
try. That an alliance would be Of
advantage to both organizations
is manifest. College athletes come
so closely in touch with the outside
amatuer world during the holiday
season that a uniformity Of govern
ing rules has become absolutely
necessary for the general welfare
Of the sport and the time is now
pronounced ripe for some impartial
understanding, which will not give
any possibility OF future disagree
ment.
II the questions at issue are
amicably settled, the amatuers
will submit to the delegation OF
the intercollegiate association
articles Of alliance and concede
anything that might possibly be
construed into an undue assump-
ton of authority. The text OF the
unions proposition is secret and
will not be disclosed until after
the conference with the college is
ovor.
