Special Cable Despatch to THE SUI.
LONDON, May 2s.-There was q sparse attend
ance of members in the House of Commons this
afternoon when the debate on the question Of
voting funds for Irish harbors and lighthouses
was taken up. The discussion proceeded quietly
until John L. Redmond. the Parnellite leader,
suddenly interrupted the debate and moved the
discussion Of the Irish financial relations and
grievances In preference to any other matters.
Mr.. Redmond was repeatedly called to order
but refused to desist, and finally Mr.. Charles T..
Ritchio, President Of the Board of Trade, moved
that Redmond be suspended. The motion Gre
ated considerable excitement and the House was
soon crowded with members. A vote was taken
on Mr.. Ritchie's motion and it was carried, 223
to so.
After the passage of the motion Of suspension
Mr.. Redmond left the floor and went into the
gallery, as IL to defy the House. Tho Speaker,
who alone has the power to order a person to
withdraw from the precincts of the House, was
not in the chair at the time. but he was sent for.
and as soon as he appeared and learned tho
facts he ordered Redmond to withdraw from the
precincts Of the House. REDMOND then arose
from his seat in the gallery and left the House.
The debate on the vote for Irish harbors and
lights was then resumed. but was again inter
rupted by John J. Clancy. Parnellite member
for the North Dublin county, who insisted upon
the discussion OF tho same questions which Mr..
Redmond had sought TO have debated. He was
callod to order. but refused to obey the ruling OF
the Deputy Speaker and Chairman OF Commit
tees. Mr.. ]. W. Lowther. He was then ordered
by the Deputy Speaker to withdraw from the
House, and, upon his refusal to do so, the Chair
called the Sergeant-at-Arms AMI directed that
officer to use whatever force might be necessary
to compel Clancy to leave the floor. Clancy
then made his exit. being conducted to the door
by the SerGeant-at-Arms
After the departure of Clancy another at
tempt was made to continue tho harbor and
light debate. when 1t became evident that the
Parnellites were bent upon repeating the pro-
cedurc which led to tho Wholesale suspension OF
Parnell and his followers on the night OF Feb. 3,
1881. No sooner had the debate been resumed
than William Redmond Parncllite member for
East Glare, persisted in the same line as that
pursued by Redmond and Clancy, and refused to
withdraw until the Chair summoned the Ser
geat-at-Arms, when he quietly left the House.
The younger Redmond was followed in his OBJ
structive tactics By William Field. Parnellite
member for the st. Patrick's division OF Dublin.
who demanded the right of free speech. Tho
Chairman warned MIN against a repetition OF
his interruption. and. finding that warming the
member had no effect, ordered him to leave the
house. Field obeyed the order and walked ont.
The discussion of the Harbor and Light bill
was then resumed, the House settling down to
Its normal quiet.

or This City the Contestant.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 2s.-A contest TO set
aside the will of Mrs. Nancy NJ, widow of Hora-
ito Lyon, was begun to-day before Justice Nor
ton OF the Supreme Court. The contestant Is
Chalmers Dale, who lives at 70 Park avenue,
New York city. Mrs. Lyon left property valued
at 100000. bequeathing 1925, 900 to her grand
son. Chalmers Dale. Jr. Other large requests
were: To Miss Lizzie c. Reed, $4,000 and Mrs.
Lyons house in this city: to Mrs. W. n. Flynt OF
Mnnson, Mrs. Margaret +. Calef of Brooklyn,
Mrs. GcorgiaEa Perkins of Ncwburyport, and
Mrs. Carrie II. Holt of Brooklyn, 500 900 each. In
all there arc about sixty legatees under the will.
The contestants contend that Mrs. Lyon was
influenced unduly by Miss Lizzie c.. Reed, n
mitted proving the will, in the course of which
James D.. Gill stated that Mrs. Lyon told him
Mr.. Dale had the management OF her property.
and afterward said she had withdrawn it from
his charge. She said that Mr.. Dale was too
critical OF her and would not let her see his son.
Chalmers. Jr. The first witness for the contest
ants was Mr.. Dale, who stated the circumstances
OF his taking charge of Mrs. Lyons property, and
said that after Miss Reed became her companion
there was a marked change in Mrs. Lyons dis
position toward him. Snc had visited him, how
ever, at his residence, Cold Spring.on-the-Iiud-
son, and she had said then. and often before,
that she should leave all her property to her
grandson. The only warning advice he had
given was when she had been besicged for gifts
to benevolent institutions. He had advised her
to pay no attention to them. ID. l.. Moody had
wanted her to give $40. 600 TO Mt. Hernon Col
lege, and Mr.. Dale had advised her not to givei ii.

Tumu1ny Gets Der Chntl ana Who Geto the
Nomination for Re6lsteri
Politicians have been discussing with interest
the appointment by a reform Sheriff Of a stall
wart Tammany Hall man like ex-Police Capt.
Pickett as Warden OF Ludlow Street Jail. All
are agreed that the only reasonable explanation
is that Tammany Halls leaders have made an
arrangement with a few Of the Garoos, and that
some one of these Garoos is to get a place on the
Tammany county ticket next fall. A German
American politician who keeps a scrap book
said yesterday:
perhaps very few remember what Z. J. H.
Hansen said TO the German.American Reform
Union on the occasion of his nomination for
Sheriff in 1894. In the speech which he made
on that occasion no said. among other things:
= accept this nomination for Sheriff, believing
that, as in the case OF Grover Cleveland, it may
be a stopping stone to the Mayoralty OK some
thing higher
II don't think Tamsen imagines that Tam
many will nominate him for Mayor Of the Great
err New York, but l do understand that there are
other places on the ticket which might not be
unacceptable TO him"
This suggestion that Tamsen wants to get on
the Tammany ticket seonS to be disproved by a
movement which has been in progress in the
Thirtietl Assembly district the past two or
three days. This is the district where Lawrence
Delmour. the political hacker of the new Warden,
ment looks to tho nomination for Register of
La wyer f. j. Amend of the Garoos, brother-in-
law Of Herman Raider, and particular friend of
Sheriff Tamsen.

LOOKING AFTER HIS FENCES.
The Reason Senator Allen Repaired in Much
Haste to Nebraska.

A-AsV -
LINCOLN, Mob, May Ex-senator Allen of this
State was homo from Washington
in hot haste this week to defeat tho efforts of a
combination of ambitious silver Democrats to
retire him from the Senate in 1899. Ever since
he made his famous fourteen hour speech in the
national Senate q number OF rival silverites
have coveted his seat. Chief among them is
Gov. Holcomb, and another rival is Congressman
Greene. Senator Allen has been away from home
a good deal, and he seems to have Just walked
up to the fact that he is slated for retirement,
and the combine Of silver Democrats. confident
that the State has slipped away from Republi.
can control for a long time to come, have been
parcelling out the offices Of the future in their
minds without taking Senator Allen into &C.
count.
Gov. Holromb's occupancy OF the Governors
chair give him n standing with the combine
that practically forced them to pledge him their
support for Senator two years hence. II he was
moi promoted to the Senate he would stand for
Governor again, and, as that office has been
promised TO Speaker Gafin and his displace.
ment would bring down the whole house of
cards. Holcomb held the trump.
This Is why Senator Allen hurried away from
Washington when his favorite Cuban resolution
was up for debate and a vote. What his success
SO far has been Is not evident, but his friends
realize that he has Il fight on his hands and his
counsel was necessary at this juncture.

IRELAND CANNOT REJOICE
And-ParneiIitea Prociaim That They Cannot
Take Part In the JnhIlee.

LONDON. May 2s.-Mr. John Dillon. leader Of
the anti-ParneNite section Of the Irish Parlia-
mentary party, presided to-day at a largely at
tended meeting Of the Nationalist members Of
the House of Commons. A manifesto was
unanimously adopted declaring that tho Irish
Parliamentary party was unable to take part
in tho celebration in honor Of the long reign of
the Queen.
Ireland had no cause to rejoice in the Queens
reign. For sixty years the country has been
governed against its will under q centralized,
autocratic system. though tho bounds Of free
dom have been widened elsewhere In the empire.
Misgovernment, famine, and evictions have
driven millions Of Irish from their homes. The
population Of Ireland has been reduced one half.
while Great Britain's population has doubled
during Queen Virtoria's reign. Even for tho
diminished number OF Irish the scale Of sub
sistence is inferior and their physical condition
has been impaired. while The country has been
loaded with taxation beyond its relative ca
pacity.

As a result of tho conference between Chief of
Police Conlin and District Attorney Olcott, re-
ferrcd to In THE Sun, the Grand Jury yesterday
indicted four saloon keepers, who, IL Is charged,
evade tho provisions of tho Liquor Tax law by
selling liquor during the prohibited hours under
the disguise OF clubs.
With one Of the bench warrants, Acting In
spector Harley went up to the Tcnderloin to get
Ed Is. Corey. the alleged proprietor of the New
market, otherwise tho GrHmcrcy Club. at Thir.
10th street and Sixth avenue, who had been in-
dicted for keeping a disoraerly house, Har-
ley bad to wait until $3.50 o'clock before Corey
appeared. Then Corey was arrested, taken 10
Police Headquarters, and locked up for the
night. Hc telegraphed all over town for bail in
vain. He will be arraigncd this morning In the
Court Of General Sessions.
The Young Mems Cosmopolitan Club, at
Thirty.iirst street and Sixth avenue, of which
"Silver Dollar" Smith is the proprietor. was
open last night, but Smith was not around the
place until late. Ho said he had a bondsnan
ready for emergencies.
George ,Hinchlnan, who organized tho Shenan-
donh Cub IN the rooms occupied by the Bijou
restaurant, was said to DO away fromthe city, TOO.
Patrick 0'Ncil. who runs the independent
way, between Thirty.ninth ard Forticth streets,
was ut the club last night. All the clubs were
omen as usual.
One, Of the men wanted is said to be an easu
side club proprietor.
The Grand Jury heard twcnty.seven witnesses,
police patrolmen and detectives, who had COM
plants to make against sham clubs. Chief
Conlin was one OF the witnesses. At tho time
FOR ediourning ali OF the evidence collected by
the police had not been presented, and the Grand
Jury decided 10 continue the investigation on
tuesday and Wednesday of next week, having
been requested to prolong tho regular session.
This Grand jury has disposed of 10 excise cases,
nlnding indictments in 210 cases and Diminishing
the other complaints.
One of the detectives who gave testimony bo-
fore the Grand Jury said afterwards:
II know OF five police officers who have been
admitted to membership in Raincs law clubs,
and they will be down on Wednesday 10 testify
before tho Grand Jury. The detectives have
taken friends into the saloons having club
charters and got evidence by having their
friends pay for the second round Of drinks
for the first round. This; believe. is the
the evidence against the saloon keepers
in the Tendcrloin who have been indicted or
who are about to he indicted. OF nine cases con-
sidcrcd l believe the Grand Jury decided that
there were five flaGrUnt violations of tho law
violations wherein 1t would be an easy matter
to get convictions when the cases are brought to
trial. Tho great raids, however. by the evidence
hunters will be made on Sunday"

wife living. and she left him. In 1886 she entered
into n contraCi of marriage with Karl Wcstrun
without II ceremony.
Westron declared he took the widow to be
his lawful wife, and the widow declared. IN

husband.
On Dec. !, 1857, Westron became q member
Of the Order o: Chosen Friends ANA designated
his wife as the beneficiary OF his insurance. He
died in February. 1889. The supreme Council
refused TO pay the $1,000 insurance. Tho widow
married Charles Markell and then began suit for
the recovery OF the insurance on WcstrOn's life.
Judge Nevius charged the jury yesterday that

Tho jury gave tho plaintiff a verdict for the full
amount, with interest from December, 1889.
