Egypt in Starlight and Sunshine

Miss Charlotte T. Sibley's lecture at the
Baptist church last Tuesday evening on
Egypt in Starlight and Sunshine was lis
tened to by large and deeply intereste d
audience. 1t was her second lecture ia Bel
fast on her travels in the East-the first was
''Over Palestin. Hills on Horseback"-and
gave further proof of her ability as a word
painter and public speaker. The scenes in
the land Of the Nile, the pyramids and the
Sphinx, were pictured SO daintily and so
graphically that one could almost see
the yellow flood of the great river,
the inscrutable face looking out over
the sands of the desert, the noun
tains OF stone that it would tax modern
mechanical devices and skill to reproduce,
the stately mosques and glittering minarets,
and the motley wear, brown and olive skins,
OF the native population. Touches Of humor
and CLEANS Of wit We're not wanting; pathos
revealed itself also; and the Nile voyage
was depicted as a dream of Lotus land In
no other way could one have obtained 80
much real information about Egypt, or
passed pleasanter hour, than in listening
to this lect IRE.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of the

local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci

THE DEBs TRIAL BEGUN.
The Judges First Ruling Victory for the
Defense.

Chicago, Februase Sat the opening
of the Debs trial today. MIR. Walker
asked on behaH of the government that
the cases against Dennis Larkin, John
Barker, Frank D. .Reyer, and James Nc
Donald, be dismissed. Judge Grosscup
dismissed these four cases, and an
nounced that he would let the jury pass
Oh the cases of the directors of the
American Railway Union. The defence
asked him yesterday to dismiss the cas-
es without further hearing. In regard
to John f. McV can and Martin j. Elliot,
two of the least active of the directors,
the Judge said he would take their cases
under consideration. The defence began
the case by puttingeon the stand Presl-
DENT Thomas, of the Chicago & Western
Indiana Railroad. Attorney Barrow put
the witness through AN examination as
to the objects and methods of the asso-
citation and its action In com b1nlng to
defeat the A. K. e. in the big railroad
strike. which was admitted. In passing
on the question as to whether the testi-
mony concerning thesswitchmen's strike,
should be admitted, Judge Grosscup
said: 81 think when this case goes to
the Jury, it is going to turn on what
were the real motives and purposes of
these defendants in instituting the strike
in 1894. I will, therefore. hear the pre-
history of the strike" This ruling is
regarded as distinct victory for the

Comments on Queens Speech at
Opening Of Parliament.
CAUSTIC CRITICISM ON ACTION OF
NEWFOUNDLAND POLITICIANS.

1t is Reported That the Anti-Christian
Outrages in Syria Continue-The
French Chamber of Deputies is Hon.
ored by the Arrival of a Member From
Prison.
London, February 5.-Parliament re-
assem- bled today with the customary
ceremonies. The session was opened at
Q O'Clock this afternoon by the reading
by commission OF the speech from the
throne. There was fair attendance of
raem bers of the House of Commons, but
few of the mem bers of the upper house
were present.
In the House of Lords, Lord
Salisbury, speaking of the reference
in the Queens speech to the Arme-
nian troubles, said he would not
at present say much about the Armenian
difficulties, inasmuch as the matter was
under investigation. He expressed
doubt whether the proposed inquiries
would proove exhaustive. The ques6lon
was thorny, and the government must
be careful not to excite hopes among
auy section of the Armenian population
filed. Lord Rosebery said he cordially
agreed with Lord Salisbury in regard to
Armenia, in which matter the BRUSH
government acted in accord with the
Governments of Russia, France and
Italy.
Lord Rosebery said be wished he could
say that official Information enabled MIN
to give an authoritative denlat OF tne
charges made against the Turks In Ar
Ho Sai6 fha Governments WOulQ
epdeavor too fulfill all pledges.
The anti Lords resolution will be IN
troduced in the House of Commons. 1t
would not have been respectful to Ear
lament to have included 1T in the
Queens speech.
The Duke of Devonshire said he
doubted whether the government would
with the exception of the Irish land
bill. which both sides might think 1t
necessary to pass.
The speech was agreed TO.
Baron Berschell, the lord chancellor.
surprised the House by stating his de-
sire to make personal statement
"Within the past few weeks" the baron
said, "insinuations or charges had peen
made in the press that he had sought
to transfer Justice Sir Roland Vaughan
Williams from the Queens bench divis-
ion of the high court of justice. for the
purpose of removing him from his place
of power to proceed vigorously against
certain persons in high places, involved
in questiona BILE financial transactions.
It was further alleged, upon Justice
Williams refusing to acquiesce in the
proposed transfer that he (Baron Her
schell) had promised to restore him to
the Queens bench division after time.
Justice Williams having refused
again the assertion was made that the
Lord Chancellor positively insisted upon
the change. whereupon Justice Williams
threatened to publish the Lord Chancel-
lor's letters. These hints and state
ments, Lord Herschell said are positive
ly untrue.
The House then adjourned.

4 FAVOR FREE SILVER.
But the Senate Finance Committee is I'm

But the Senate Finance Committee is I'm
able 20 Agree on Any Bill.
Washington. February S. The only AFR
native action action taken in the Senate
finance committee today was their refusal,
six to five to permit the report Of the bill
authorizing the issue of short time, low in
terest bearing bonds. The committee met
at eleven and discussed the various ques-
tions referred TO it. Mr.. Mcpherson was
anxious to report bill either on the lines
of the one submitted by himself. or that of
Mr.. Sherman, and asked for authority to
report such a measure in a--..modifed foIm.
Mr.. MCPHERSON stated that his proposition
would authorize the Secretary of the Treas
ury to issue boLds drawing three per cent
interest for the purpose of making good the
deficit in the treasury. The proposition
was discussed sh0lt lime, and when a
vote was taken there was found that but
five votes favored it, leaving majority Of
one against it. Several other bills on the
committees calendar were taken up,among
them that of Mr.. Jones, who moved that all
his bill be struck out except the ninth
section. This was informally agreed to on
the ground that any member had 1.-The right
to modify his bill as he saw fit.
motion was made that the ninth section
be favorably reported 10 The Senate. This
is the section which provides for the un-
limited coinage of silver. the government
to have the seigniorage. and the seigniorage
to be the difference between the coinage
value and bullion value in London on the
day of deposit in the mints. &,
Mr. Vest ubm tilted his free coinage bill
as substitute. this measure being that
drafted by MI. St. John of New YORK. pro-
viding for free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. The motion of Mr.. Jones and the
substitute offered by Mr.. Vest were pending
when the committee adjourned.
Discussion showed that while the commit
tee was a free silver committee, there wer"
indications of the silver men being unable
to agree upon a measure that would be
satisfactory to all.
Mr.. Jones. and possibly one other Senator
are favorable 10 the absolute free coinage
of silver, but seem unwilling at this time to
vote for such proposition. as they believe
if would meet with veto IL ii passed. while
tue coinage proposition under conditions
stipulated in Mr.. Joses's measure might
meet with more consider alton at the hands
OF the Executive. This is the condition that
has SO far prevented the silver men from
reporting free and unlimited coinage Dill.
The bill passed by the House repeating the
discriminating duty on sugar imported from
countries paying export bounty was taken
up in formally, and laid over until next
week, on motion of Mr.. Aldrich, who In
sisted that the committee could not con-
sid er it intelligently until the Secretary OF
State had complied with the resolution OF
the Senate directing him to send TO the
senate all the correspondence on the sub
ject between this country. and Germany
and other countries affected.

SOMETHING CROOKED.
Names Affixed to the Petition for a Re-
ceivership for Whlskey Trust Without
Authority.

Chicago, February 5.-Judge Grosst up. to-
day. took up the investigation of the con-
neotion of CHARLES j. Heinsheimer and S.
L. Wormser with the whiskey trust case.
The names of these two were signed to a
petitiou for the receivership il is claimed
entirely without their authority. The court
stated that he had in his possession an
affidavit from President Greehnut deolar-
ing that he had authority TO afix the two
names. When be read this Attorney Julian
Mack said: ~ am prepared to state on in
formation and belief. that the affidavit Is
AN unmitig ted falsehood.''
Judge Grosscup was somewhat startled at
this. He demanded that Mack procure
afiday1ts from New York con trming his
statements, and said he was determined to
fix the responsibility for the connection of
these two men with the case. Attorney
Mack caused a sensation when he accused
Attorney BURY, who represents VIM.
Greenhut of saying in private conversation:
II believe my client lied about this NATTER
:; his closed the matter until Thursday
morning. when af6davits can be procured
from Good hart & Co., and Heinshermer &

And so Confiscated 1t andPocketed the Pro-
ceeds-The Boston Police Confscated

Boston, Mass. February 5.-Captain
Mitchell, Mate Allen and Seaman
Charles Hinckley, of the schooner Mon7
ticello, were given a hearing In the
municipal court, charged with the lar
ceny of venison shipped at Columbia
Falls last Decem ber for this port. Cap
tain Millard Mitchell stated he had
talked with Tibhetts at Columbia Falls,
and the latter wanted to give him $40
for place IN the hold for venison. He
did not know how much venison was
placed aboard, but the hatch was opened
outside Bass Harbor and the venison
put on deck to freeze and preserve it as
it was warm in the hold. He sold the
venlson and thought he had a right to
do so. He knew the venison was shipper
contrary to the Maine law. He put In
at Gloucester to ship the venison more
rapidly to Boston. He never was paid
for the freight except what was taken
out of the proceeds of the sale or the
yenison. He denied having sold ~
saddles to W. H. Jones of Faneull Haa!

the proceeds were shared. H1nckley re-
ceived SIC, Allen S76, and the Witness
SIG.
Mate Allen testified that he Joined the
vessel at Millbridge and did not know
who put the saddles aboard. When the
hatch was opened the saddles were ina
soft condition. aHad I been masters"

How did it come that you took the

"We all said we fell heirs to it. 1t

share as an heir to it,"
On cross examination he said he bad
thrown some heads overheard, as they
had all they could do to keep the car
casses without trying to keep the heads.
Charles Hinckley stated that he
ioiued the crew at Millbridge after the
yeuison was put aboard at Colum b1a
Falls. The captain and himself went to
Mr.. Jones and sold the venison for ten
cents a pound. Cross.examined he said
he sold them under the name of john
Brown, and received ch ok for. $3a9
from Mr.. Jones, payable to John BROWN

the proceeds of the check. He told Mr..

Mr. Simpson said the remedy for the
trouble was to pay greenbacks in silver
wi EN- there was no gold on hand. Mr..
Reeds proposition was a subterfuge TO pull
the wool over the eyes of the people who
are going to vote for the President in 1886.
But said Mr.. Simpson. I'VE are on to
the little game, and i. won't go by un-
noticed. Tho plan proposed did not so to

Mr.. Pence, Populist of Nebraska, said he
had no idea that either this Congress or the
next would pass law to redeem legal
tender notes. The party that did SO would
be ground to powder 1T the next ensuing
election.
Mr.. Simpson objected to the bill from the
committee on banking and currency. tie
said that Mr.. Reeds proposition was not
any more desirable. Ii perpetuated the
discretion vested in the Secretary of the
Treasury to constIue coin to mean gold coin
only. 'If the gentleman from Maine con-
tInued Nj. simpson. addressing Mr.. Reed,
who sat in front OF him. would assure the
people he would appoint secretary of the
treasury. when he comes to the presidency,
who would construe the word in the in
terests OF the people, the proposition would
not be so bad. but he won't give them that
assurance"
''It he did, said Mr.. Springer. who stood
beside Mr.. Reed, ''you'd have him Populist
candidate for the presidency"
"Certainly." responded Mr.. Simpson,
''every body would vote for him."
At this Mr.. Reed broke for cover and re-
tired to the corridor. The committee rose
and the House adjourned.
