AN INDEPENDENT PARLIAMENT.
Ireland's Demands Receive Little En-
enlargement in House of Commons.

London, February lin the House Of
Commons today Mr.. John Redmond, the
Parnellite leader moved an amendment to
the address in reply to the speech from
the throne at the opening of Parliament.
Tt was to the effect that "while the House
regards with satisfaction the proposed
bill for the reform of local government in
Ireland, the measure will in no wise meet
the demand for an independent Irish
Parliment.
Concluding, Mr.. Redmond said that the
executive had declared that the celebra-
ton of the centenary of the Irish re-
bellion showed that Ireland hated Eng
land. There had been times, he con-
tinued, when England could have changed
that feeling and he believed it possible
that it might yet be changed IN the
future.
Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourt, the Liberal
leader, replied, emphasizing the sacflnce
which the Liberals had made for home
rule, belief which he had reiterated Il,
all his speeches. But the supremacy OF
the imperial parliament was material
feature of Mr. Gladstone's bill and was
accepted by the Nationalist leaders: Inc
present amendment Sir William polnteo
out demanded an independent parlla'
ment, therefore, he could not oppose IL:
Mr.. John Dillon, chairman OF the irish
Parliamentary party warned the Inperalt
that they would lose the Irish vote unless
home rule headed their programme.
Mr.. A. J. BaIfour, government leader
in the House, said the local government
hill. was not intended as step toward
home rule or "a compromise. but rested
solely on it's own merits, to confer upon Ire
land the same local liberties as are enjoyed
nv England and Scotland. MIR. Balfour
added: 81 firmly believe that sooner or
later the peoples of the two islands will
he as closely united as those of any nation
in the world
This remark called forth forth Irish
cries of t'never'' to which Mr.. Balfour re-
torted: sThe Irish members neither desire
nor hope that. 1 both hope for and desire
it. From study of history | am convinced
that the scheme for a subordinate parlia-
m emit is not workable. :"
The amendment was eventually rejected
by 1888 to 65 votes
MIR. John Redmond moved an amend
uent in favor Of reconsideration If the
cases of Irish political prisoners. Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, Conservative,
amid Irish cheers, supported the amend-
ment although he declared he detested the
dynamitards. Sir Matthew White Ridley,
the home secretary opposed the amend
ment. Mr.. Timothy Healy supporting the
amendment contrasted the difference be-
tween the attitude of the English toward
the Frenchman Dreyfus and their atti-
tude toward the Irish political prisoners.
The House rejected the amendment by
152 to 100 votes

HAVE BEVERY CAREFUL.
Germany Much Alarmed About What
They Import From America.

Berlin, February 11.-When the esti-
mates of the German Embassy at WASH
ington were presented in the Re1chstag
today, a discussion arose on the general
relations between Germany and the
United States during which DR.. Barth,
and Freisinnige leader, Count Posadow low
sky the minister of the interior and others
participated. DR.. Barth pointed out the
great Importance of American trade and
said the exports of 1896 had increased
20 900, 900 marks. He said the fact that
Germany abstained from reprisals Tor
American treatment of German sugar
ought not to be overlooked by the Unlteo
States. At the same time he added the
danger Of the San Jose louise was not SO
threatening as at first summed.
Count Posadowsky replied that the
measures taken at Hamburg were owing
to the government learning that a large
CONSIGNMENT of fruit from an lnfecteo
district was on it's way there. Experts,
he added, had found breeding insects IN
pears already exposed for sale ana. ia.er'
in O consignment of apples. Continuing,
Count Posadowsky remarked: II have
today learned that the insect was also
found in Berlin. The greatest precau-
ton, consequently, is necessary. Inc IN
sect has hitherto not been found in Ger
many and even in America it is regarded
as being very dangerous.
Count-P osadowsky then referred to the
various state laws in America against the
transit of affected fruit. adding: Z" To the
uniustifiable reproaches of the Ameri-
cans, 1 would only reply: DO not do to
others what thou wouldst not have done
o. thee We have only acted in self de-
lense." Count Posadowsky explained, re-
terring to the further commercial policy,
the Count said: 'We cannot alter ex-
isting treaties before they expire. We re-
ouire new autonomous tariff. We shall
act wisely and not conjure up an I'M
necessary tariff war; but the true moment
may come when we shall be compelled to
abandon our passive policy. The greatest
art lies in the maintenance of peace so
long as possible, and | hope this govern
ment viii be allowed to decide when the
moment has come to depart from that
course -

A SOCIALIST FIELD DAY.

New Bedford, Mass, February H.
The socialist labor meeting at City hall
tonight was full enough of ginger to
make it exceedingly interesting. Daniel
de Leon of New York, the editor of the
People, the socialist organ, embraced the
opportunity which was afforded him to
reply to Gompers and in mentioning him
Tho did not fail to include other labor
leaders in the category of ''labor fakirs, -
to use his expression. The meeting also
afforded an opportunity to President
Hancock Of the local section of the soci-
alist labor party to set himself Alright
with the public on the attack on Com
pers. And thirdly, it afforded Mrs.
Pickering an opportunity to again come
to the front in the popular eye. There
was considerable confusion in the meet
ing at times and taken altogether it did
not disappoint those who attended from
curiosity to see the fun.

CUsHMAN MURDER TRIAL.

Middlebury, Vt, February 11.-Charles,
the brother of Smith Davis. the man who
is on trial here for the murder of Dora
Cushman. who was on the witness stand
at the adjournment of court Inst night,
was called at the beginning Of today's
session for cross-examination. d
Contrary to general expectation, the
defense did not attempt to puzzle the
witness or break down his testimony. q
Henry W. Martin Of Montgomery, the
deputy sheriff who arrested Smith Dayiss
on the Tuesday night following his disapss
pearance, testified that the prisoner told
him substantially the same story about
the death of Dora Cushman that Charles
Davis gave in his testimony yesterday,
except that Davis threw the instrument
into a brook. Witness said he brought
Davis to jail at Vergennes. On the train
Davis was shown paper containing an
alleged confession to his uncle in New
Hampshire. Davis read the article and
told witness that it was true or nearly
true.
At the afternoon session, Luke P. Mar
tin, son of the Deputy sheriff and Willis
Clark, reporter, gave evidence that was
not particularly important and court
adjourned until tomorrow.

RUSHING TOWARD SPRING ACTIVITY.
Dun,s Continues to Find Business On the
Increase.

New York, February LII. q. Dun q
Co.. in their weekly review of trade will
say:
Business is pushing toward spring
activity rather early. Events which have
controlled are good buying of iron by the
large makers, tho rise in cotton, with
strength in goods, the great railway con
solidat1on. and the Cuban instruction
The latter, with it's possibility, operates
as ! brake on speculation, and foolishness
of local traders gave foreigners a much
desired opportunity to buy stocks
The output of pig iron February LIST
was 229, S25 tons weekly, the largest in the
history of tho business. The reported
huvinc OF 1870, 900 tons of Bessemer iron
by the Carnegie company and 100000 by
another of the largest steel concerns
nevertheless means that the unprecedented
output of pig iron will soon prove too
small for the growing demand for finished
products.
The rise in cotton, SIG, for the week
results in part from better prospects for
manufacture here and abroad, but only in
mart. Spectators became persuaded that
Efforts for short crop this year would
prove effective, and heavy short interest
covered. The actual movement shows no
change of consequence, but prices of
Goods haveia stronger tone, and foreign
PROSPECTS are better. With the better tone
prevailing, this manufacture should soon
feel the heavy demand which other in
dustries are meeting. Wool sales at the
chief cities were only 5,303, 200 pounds
for the week, ana 11,664, 900 for two
weeks, against %, 721 ,60) last year. Prices
are still strong in spite of the general in
difference of manufacturers who seem to
Lave secured ample supplies. For the
better grades of wooden goods an advance
averaging 17.5 per cent from last year is
readily maintained. The opening of
works idle for years, in spite of the heavy
production already assured, is striking
feature in this as in the iron and other
industries, and implies heavier demands
for products than are now met by the I'M
precedented output.
Wheat has been strong, with spot adj
vancing two cents and May 2 "a cents
though western receipts have Teen for
two weeks 1886, 7IS bushels against 3,3l7,-
S95, last year, but Atlantic exports have
been 5,2T4, 435 bushels, flour included
against 4,026, $50 in two weeks last year,
with Pacific exports large. Corn exports
are also surprisingly well sustained, ~
l64, 763 bushels against I, 1923, S65 last year.
and the price has advanced trif1e.
Business shown by bank clearings is
again larger than ever before, 34.I per
cent larger than last year for the week,
and for the month to date Az per cent
larger than last year. and 1910 per cenu
larger than in 1892.
Failures for the week have been %eo IN

PORTLAND SHUT OUT.
Miserable Work at Bath Last Night While
Rockland Gives Lewiston Good Argu-
ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.]

Bath, February 11.-Well we are beat
en-, whitewashed, shut out or whatever
you choose to call it. In other words,
not once during the game with the Baths
this evening did Capt. MoKay's stars
find the cage; they did not even have the
satisfaction of seeing it go in and come
out again, while the home team landed
the scarlet sphere in Portland's netting
five times, and all but once with light
toss, as gentle as spring zephyr.
After a few seconds of scoring Jim
Mooney swept the spot and sent the ball
across to McGilvray, who made hand
some drive from the side, sending the
ball against Aliens pads and bounding
into the edge of the cage.
For the second goal, E. Mooney passed
the ball to McGilvray, who drove it at
Allen. The latter stopped it, but Nc
Gilvray promptly caught it on his stick
ON the rebound and pitched 1t into the
netting. Time, $40.
The remainder of the period was re-
markable, mainly by the fine defence put
I'D by Bath, the Portland men working
hard, but all for nothing.
Tho second period openeda hot. Finally
Mckay got the ball and made a mad
rush for the Bath goal, he passed to
Campbell, who drove wild, and the ball
went down to McGilvray, who pitched it
by Allen from the side.
After foul was called, Jim Mooney
threw the ball behind him to McGilyray,
who Gagged it by another toss.
The period ended, Bath 4; Portland, O..
With the opening of the third period
Portland became more aggressive, but
Baths defense was superb. Eddie
Mooney passed the ball to McGilvray who
passed it to j. Mooney. The ball struck
his hand and the third foul was called
ON Bath. AS soon as the ball was put
in play it was plainly evident THAI Bath
was killing time. Portland took final
brace, drove it at Burgess several times,
failed to get it by him and McGilvray
taking it from Campbell shot it by Allen
by another toss. The crowd went wild
Half @ minute remained to play, but
the game was lost. Portland was much
handicapped by the absence of Whipple,
Lincoln not being at all effective. Bath
lost goal on fouls.

ELEoTR1cs GO THROUGH TREsTIE.

ElLECTRICS GU IHROU OI1 LLs ND - l4'
Sanford, February ia freight mosor
attached to an electric car on the Nioti-
sam River electric railway, loaded with
coal. crashed through trestle over the
boiler house of the SANFORD Mills this
morning. The motorman, Gilbert Fer
kins. was buried under the debris, and
injured internally. He was removed to
fine bospital and there is no hope for his
racoverv. Thomas Casson had his leg
broken and was injured internally. The
trestle, which was used as branch of
the main track, had been known to be
weak for sometime, but no repairs had
been made. The total damage will be
about $1,000.
The exact cause of the breaking of the
trestle Ia not known, but there is a theory
in the coal. The trestle was part of
spur track running into the boiler house
of the Sanford mills. There was very
stubborn fire in the coal in this house
short time ago, which lasted many days,
and the theory is that the supports of the
UTSoUIO pCOoAho WCnh0LCQ uuTluS tuIS uf6.
Thomas Casson, one Of the men who was
injured, says he looked at the trestle yes
terday, and 1T seemed as if it were unsafe
to him then, but he went on it with the
motor and coal car today. 1t is said that
some repairs were made on the trestle
yesterday.
The motor car, on the front platform of
which Motorman Perkins and Thomas
Casson were standing, was pushing the
coal car along the trestle when the acct
dent occurred. The coal cars weight was
too much for the trestle and it succumbed
and the motor car was drawn with the
coal car, falling distance of about fifteen
or eighteen feet.
Perkins, the motorman, is % years of
age and unmarried. He has bad cash
in the groin, and several bruises about
the hips. Drs. Bragdon and Blagdon who
attended him feared at first that he was
internally injured, but were unable to say
positively. There is hope, however, that
he will recover.
Thomas Casson is thirty years old and
has o family. His worst injury is a
fractured leg, apparently, though as in
the case of Perkins, there is some ground
for fear that he has suffered internal
hurt. He will probably recover. The
total damage to cars will exceed $1,000.
