TITLE CAUSES TROUBLE,
Dispute Over a Seat in the
English House of
Commons.
The Earl of Selborne Forced to Re-
tire Until His Case Is
Passed On.

LONDON, Eng, May BIN the House
of Commons to-day the Earl of Selborne,
who, as Viscount Wolmer, represented
West Edinburgh in the House of Com
mons, and who succeeded to his title on
May by the death of his father, took his
seat as usual. Thereupon Henry E.
Labouchere, member from Northamp-
ton, asked the Speaker, c. William Court
Gully, whether the Earl was entitled to sit
in the House of Commons. The Speaker
questioned his lordship on the subject
with the result that he asked him to with
draw below the bar of the House until the
question of his right to sit as a member of
the House of Commons was decided. The
Earl of Selborne complied with the Speak
er's request, and the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
then briefly explained his view of the stu
alton, which was that after the usual
formalities had been gone through with a
writ should be issued for a new election
for the seat occupied by the Earl of Sell
borne.
A heated discussion followed.
Finally the Chancellor of the Exchequer
consented to move to refer the question to
small special committee. Sir William
said he thought the Earl of Selborne was
being badly advised and therefore he
would move to issue a writ for an election
in West Edinburgh and thus end the whole
thing. Later, however, the Chancellor of
the EXchequer was persuaded to withdraw
his motion, and the subject was dropped

POSSIBLE NAVAL CHANGES.
Ramsay May Succeed Meade In
Command Of the North Allan
tic Station.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 13.-There
were no developments in the Meade Incl
dent to-day The admiral did not call at
the Navy Department during the day, nor
has he, so far as known, made any written
explanation of his reported arraignment of
the administration. The incident is the
principal topic of conversation in naval
circles at present, and the outcome is
awaited with great interest. 1t is known
that the President and Secretary Herbert
are very much provoked at the remarks
attributed to Admiral Meade, and that I'M
less that officer can explain away the
serious reflections upon them he will be
sternly disciplined. Action may take the
form of simple public reprimand, but the
impression is growing that cOurt-martial
proceedings are more probable. There is
considerable gossip as to the composition
of such court Under the law general
court-martial must not have less than five
members, majority of whom must be
senior to the officer to be tried. Admirals
Brown, Walker and Ramsay are Admiral
Meades only seniors in the service and
there are said to be personal reasons why
Admiral Ramsay should not serve on such
court. 1t might be imperative for him
to serve, however, inasmuch as it is the
only way the court could be constituted in
full compliance with the law.
Secretary Herbert said to-day that he had
not yet given serious consideration to the
question of Admiral Meade's successor in
command of the North Atlantic station.
Notwithstanding this assertion, there is
welI-grounded belief in naval circles that
the detail will be given to Rear-Admiral
Ramsay, chief of the Bureau of Navigation,
inasmuch as 1t will be that officers last
chance to command the squadron in his
present grade before his retirement a year
hence. He has made formal application
for the detail and is fitted to it, according
to all rules of the service. 1t is conceded
that command lies between Admiral Ram
say and Commodore Selfridge. No action
has yet been taken on Admiral Meade's ap-
plication to be retired on the Goth inst. on
thirty years service clause. Action on this
application is suspended pending the set

SHOT BY HIS MISTRESS,
State Senator Peter MorriSSey
of Missouri Killed While
Asleep.
The Woman Had Been MentalI,
Unbalanced for Some Time
Through Jealousy.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May Estate Senator
Peter R. Morrissey was shot and instantly
killed at $3.50 o'clock this morning by
Maud Lewis, his mistress. He was asleep
when shot.
The woman has been mentally unbal-
anced for some time, according to the
statements of her neighbors.
The first information the neighbors had
of the tragedy was the woman's screams.
They ran in and found her in frenzy of
grief and terror, bowling over the body and
calling, "Pete, come backP'
Two shots were fired, one entering his
mouth, the other penetrating his brain
through the left eye.
The woman, whose rawlings became more
violent and desperate every minute, was
sent to the City Hospital.
Morrissey was born in st. Louis, August
IA, 1859, and was educated in the st. Louis
University. In 1885 he was elected to the
Municipal Assembly, and at the time OF
his death was a member of the Missouri
State Senate, elected as a Democrat. His
business was that of a saloon and lodging
house keeper.
Maud Lewis, 25 years old, was born and
4OelAO0 Al OCs AOu4o, VI SOOo Ole
was in the City Hospital from August % to
September 10 of last year, suffering from
hysteria. Morrissey was notorious as a
crooked worker at the polls. Ten years
ago he was indicted for ballot-box stuffing,
but the influence of the leaders of the party
kept him out of the penitentiary.
The other girls, Lillian Moss and Emma
Lewis, who were inmates of the house,
and the colored porter, were placed under
arrest. The women in the house say that
Immediately on Morrissey's arrival he and
the Lewis woman quarreled, but they had
not considered their difference as serious.
Morrissey had started the alteration by
telling Maud Lewis that he had "another
woman on Twenty-frst street." She had
answered that she knew it, and that she
supposed Morrissey would marry that
woman, adding, according to the state
ment of Night Chief of Police Reeds in
formant, 81 don't care if you do marry
her, and you can bring her here, and L will
give you my room, but l tell you this,
there will be dead Irishman around

BERING SEA SEIz URES.
October Set as the Time for the Con-
ference.

October Set as the Time for tho Com
ference.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 13.-An ar
rangement has been effected between the
United States and Great Britain in which
October is set as the time for the assem-
bling at Washington of committee to ne
gotiste a treaty as to claims of sealers on
account of Boring Sea seizures. Delegates
will come from Canada to meet the au-
thorities here.
The report coming from Victoria that
the British Government had vacated the
sealing regulations because of the nom
payment by the United States of the $425,-
600 claimed for seizures is said to be due to
misapprehension. In view OF the fact that
the committee will meet in October to con-
slider these seizures there would be, it is
stated, no present ground of complaint for
non-payment. Moreover, it is learned
that the report from Victoria, B. c., is
based on a misunderstanding of the word
Sealing" which does not apply to the
seal animals but to the locks or seals by
which implements used in sealing are
locked up during the closed season.
From authoritative sources the substan-
tial features of the text of the new British
regulations have been secured. Last year
a rule was made that sealers could go to
Japan or other proximate territory, where
a British consul or other officer would seal
up the ammunition, guns, etc., used in
sealing. Vessels having arms thus sealed
up were allowed to remain in Boring Sea
during the close season. They were not
subject 10 search and seizure, as the seal
on their arms was a guarantee that they
were not capturing fur-bearing animals.
But the British admiralty has found that
this rule is impracticable. In one case a
shipmaster concealed arms and used them
in the closed season. although he had ah-
otherhset of arms sealed up as guarantee
against inspection. In another case the
apparatus used for life-saving was seized
under the impression it was for killing
seals. Owing to these objections the Brit
ish authorities have determined to abolish
this one rule but not all of them, and no.
tice to that effect has been given. The
effect has been to make it unnecessary for
vessels to go to Japan or elsewhere and
have their arms sealed up during the
closed season. 1t is said, however this will
not permit British ships to poach during the
closed season. The law against this is in
the British statute-books in the same
words as adopted by the Paris court of ar
bitrage. The abolition of the rule will not,
it is said, permit the violation OF the law
against the use of arms in the closed sea-
son. British naval vessels will patrol the

Constitution May Be Changed 80 as to
Admit Women.
OMAHA, NEBR., May 13.-The National
Council of the Catholic Knights of America
will convene in this city tomorrow. Repre-
sentatives are present from every State in
the Union. In addition to the regular
delegates, probably 100 members of the
uniform division are here. A large num-
Der of amendments to the constitution and
bylaws, proposed by various branches,
will come up for action. The question of
changing the constitution so as to admit
women will be considered, as well as a
score or more amendments of minor i'm
portance. 1t seems probable the National
Council will take the initiative in move
ment, the ultimate object of which is the
consolidation of the various Catholic or
CARNATIONS that are general in character
and benevolent in purpose. There are a
dozen such organizations with an aggre-
gate membership exceeding 100000. 1t is
believed if these were united vast saving
in expenses of operation would be effected,
and thus great incentive to increase the
membership established, besides which
greater influence would be exerted than is
now possible.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 13.-A proposition
was submitted to a vote of the Western
roads to-day regarding a convention of the
National Educational Society which is to
be held in Denver in July. The PROPOSE
ton is that the rates ana arrangements

The speck of war which appeared among
the Western lines because the Burlington
was offering an excessive commission on
summer tourist business to Colorado has
vanished. The Burlington showed that it's
circular applied not to the regular summer
tourist business, but to one of its 'person-
ally conducted" tours, and that when all
things were taken into consideration the
commission was not excessive at all. 1t

concessions to the other roads in the man
ner of handling its excursion to Colorado,
which effectually settled the trouble and
there will now be no sitting of Western

THE RECALL BILL HOLD.
Minister Haxelton VIII Not BE ALtotced to
Return.


Return.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 13.-The
phase of the important pending ques-
in which the United States has interviewed
to ask arbitration, is involved in the de-
mand of the State Department for the
resignation of United States Minister
Hazelton of Venezuela on the serious
charges made by Admiral Meade.
Minister Hazelton regards the charges as
inspired by pique and as an evidence of
this he cites political representations of a
direct and indirect character by which he
says Admiral Meade sought to impress the
Venezuelan Government and public that
the visit of the United States squadron was
something more than a courtesy and in
volved political assurances that the United
States was about to lend the strength of it's
navy to maintain Venezuela against Great
Britain.
The Minister says this impression charac-
terized all the admirafs actions while
the United States fleet was in Venezuelan
waters. 1t was so marked as to attract the
notice of Venezuelans. The Government
officials, who were well informed on the
paC1nC character OF the VISIT, were sur
prised that the impression should be given
that there was political significance in the
visit. Mr.. Hazelton says this course
aroused a decided feeling of disapproval
among Government authorities. They did
not, he says, care to be patronized, when,
as they understood the facts, the visit of
the fleet was an accident to its being in
southern waters and was not intended as
evidence of the position OF the United
States on the international question in
volved.
The Minister to-day referred to Admiral
Meade's address as emitting more than an
expression of the usual official courtesies
and declared it conveyed the general inn
preston that the United States sailors
were there as an evidence of the political
policy of the United States.
1t was stated at the White House to-day
the action taken in the case of Minister
Hazelton would not be recalled and that
Mr.. Hazelton would not return to Vene-
zuela as Minister of the United States.

regards the points on which the court was

regards the points on which the court was
divided.
The income tax returns already received
at the Treasury Department are being
classified and recorded. Although the Off
Gals are extremely reticent on the subject,
1t is believed that the rent exemptions
will amount to so per cent of the whole.
The whole number of returns made under
the law is approximately 10000, and the
estimate is made that these represent not
more than rs per cent of the number of
persons legally liable under the law.
Ii the recent decision of the court is sus-
tanned next Monday, as is now regarded as
altogether probable, the delinquents will
certainly be proceeded against as rapidly
as possible, and it is thought that the so
per cent penalty imposed by the law
will not be RENTED in any case. 1t is
asserted that the persons who have failed
to mai returns have done so with clear
understanding of the law, and in many
cases have refused to comply with it on
legal advice, preferring to take their
chances of being compelled to pay the
penalty.
1t is learned definitely that conclusion
was reached at Saturdays consultation of
the Supreme Court, and that it is conf
IDENTIFY expected to have the opinion in the
case ready for announcement next Mon
day. No authoritative statement as to
which way the decision will go can be
secured, of course, but all that can be
learned goes to corroborate the Associated
Press report of Saturday that the indica-
tions favored the upholding of the law on
the points that remain.
A member of the court is responsible for
the statement that there will probably be
two opinions, but would not go to the ex-
tent of indicating on which side the ma
jority would be.
The present intention is to make the
opinions comparatively brief. They will
cover only the questions left undecided in
the first decision, as to whether the void
provisions cover the whole act, whether
the act as it affects incomes from personal
property as such is unconstitutional
because it provides for direct taxation of
them, and whether the tax is invalid on
account of want of uniformity. The
understanding now is that Justice Harlan
will prepare the majority opinion sustain
ing the law.
The court at this session will render
opinions on large number of other cases
which have been argued. Adjournment
for the summer will not be reached, how
ever, until the following Monday, the 9th
inst.
Senator VOORHEES, says he thinks the law
as it stands, without taxing rents and pub
lie bonds will, when it is in complete op-
Grafton, bring a revenue of 10000, 900.
