MORLEY WANTS
 NO ALLIANCE Does Not Believe Gloomy Talk About EngIand's isolation. HER NAVAL POWER GIGAN TIC The Irish Vote in America, He Points Out, Would Be Against Treaty With
 England-Scoffs at Union
 With Germany.
 
HER NAVAL POWER GlGAN TIC

London. June 8.-The Rt. Hon. John Nor ley, liberal M. P. for Montrose Burns, speaking at Leeds this evening and refer ring to the recent Birmingham speech of the secretary of state for the colonies. the Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, on the sub ject of an Anglo-Saxon alliance. said that he did not believe a word of all of the gloomy talk about Englands isolation and threatening prospects, unless she se- cured an alliance with Germany or Amer ica."
 "England's naval power is gigantic, her financial resources and credit are firmer than ever,' said MT. Morley. land the spirit of her people to repel- invasion or protect their rights is as great as at the beginning of the century. The whole country desires more intimate relations with the United States, an end always dil- igently worked for by Lord Salisbury and MT. Gladstone. It Is inconceivable, how ever. that treaty between Great Britain and the United States could be entered up- on without taking into consideration the Irish vote in America. The vote is against the treaty."

WAFER LADEN BARGE LOST.
In Tow of the Leonidas, Which Carried War
 Ammunition.

Charleston, S. C., June S.-A water-laden barge and her crew of five men, in tow of the steamer Leonidas were lost Satur- day night between Norfolk and Charse ton. The Leonidas and her charge were en route from Norfolk to Key West to supply the army and the navy. The news of the loss was brought to port today by the pilot boat R. H. Cowan which was hailed off the jetties by the Leonidas and given dis patches to be sent north.
 The vessel encountered a severe storm last Saturday night off the North Carolina coast, and during the gale hawsers parted and the barge went down. The barge was of iron and schooner rigged. The steamer is en route to Key West with ammunition and supplies. She was also being sent south to relieve the water famine.
 The cargo of the Leonidas required an immediate delivery and her master found it impossible to put into port to wire par- ticulars.

 Washington, June S.-Representative Pearson of North Carolina, uncle of Lieu rimac in Santiago channel, recently re- ceived a letter from his nephew. It was in answer to one informing him that his uncle and other influential friends in con- gress would secure him a promotion at once. When Lieutenant Hobson was &C., quainted with the plan of his friends, the lieutenant declined the proffer in the fol- lowing manly letter, which speaks for it. self and shows what there is In him:
 U. S. F. s, New York, Off Key West. May 3, 1S9S.-Dear Uncle Richmond:
 Do not trouble to take any action for me individually. I prefer promotion to come from service I am in fair way to receive it when opportunity comes through stress have been complimented on work done. It is a pity the Oregon Is not with us-the Spanish fleet is powerful. There is great effort among seamen and officers, and there will be results, no matter how dearly bought.
 l remain, affectionately yours,
 RICHMOND PEARSON ROBSON.

IN THE SENATE

Washington, June S.-A bill providing for the taking of the twelfth census was pass ed by the senate today after debate which occupied the greater part of three days. Several weeks ago a census bill was presented by the committee having the matter in charge, but the measure was unsatisfactory and it was -recommitted. The bill passed today was introduced in lieu of that which was recommitted, and as slightly amended received the unani- nous support of the senate.
 Under it, if it should become a law, a di- rector of the census an assistant director and five expert statistcians will be ap- pointed Immediately to make the prelimi- nary arrangements for the taking of the census of 1900 in accordance with the out line of the bill, which has already been fully covered by these dispatches

 Proceeding to discuss the kind of alli- ance intended, MT. Morley said:
 'If 1t Is an alliance for peace and harmo- nious cooperation for the. mutual good, it will indeed be the dawn of brighter days. But is that what is intended? Or Is it to be. an alliance between the jingoes of Amer ica and the jingoes of England, an alliance not for peace, but for menace and war?
 I've shall see, but know tens of thous- ands of the best and wisest men in America believe that hardly any more inexpressible calamity can befall mankind than that a community as Lincoln nobly said, con- ceiyed in freedom and dedicated to the happiness of free and equal men should en- tangle themselves in the unrest and in- trigue or militarism, which are the tor ment and scourge of-the old world"
 Referring to a possible alliance between England and Germany Mir. Morley remind- ed his hearers that Germanys policy IS to do desc and asked, What are we going to give Germany to induce her to run rlsks TOT the sake of our trader" "It must be re- membered," he continued, "that Germany was the great trade rival of England and it was Germany who kindled the confiagra- tion in China"
 Summing up the whole situation. Mr. Morley said:
 .'Regarded in the light of cool and sober common sense, this polio yof alliance In the east or the west amounts to nothing.

ALUMNI BANQUET
Of Howard College at the Florence Hotel
 Last Night.

Last night, in the dining hall of the Florence hotel, the alumni of Howard col lege and their friends assembled around the festal board at one of the most en- joyable banquets ever given by the alumni were faultlessly served; the hall was ap- propriately decorated in national colors, and, in short. the whole affair was a most enjoyable one.
 H. R. Dill was toastmaster, and a right good one he made. He was full of wit and fun, and introduced the speakers in a most happy manner.

 Dr. T. J. Dill although a married man. responded in a most numerous manner to "our Bachelor" He didn't spare the un- married men in the faculty. T. r. Tendon also made a short talk on this sentiment.

 any business over this line. There is little doubt that the interruption was due to the work of the cable-cutting ship sent out by General Greeley and in charge of signal service officers. But the mystery of the affair Is that the French cable began working again Saturday. How this came about is beyond explanation by the best cable experts. The French cable company is as much in the dark on this point as are the authorities. All that the company knows is that it could do no business from the Sd to the 4th instant. It is apparent that the cable was not cut, else 1t could not have resumed service. At the same time nothing short of cutting can &C., count for the complete crippling of the cable on the Sd. The matter is further complicated by reports reaching the off, cials here today mat the cable again stopped working at midnight on Monday. The condition of this cable is regarded as important by the authorities here, as 1t is one of the means to continue Blanco's con nection with the Spanish authorities.

Hawaiian Question Again

Adjournment was taken al the conclusion Of MT. Powers speech, and the close of the session, like the opening, was marked by an Hawaiian incident, in which MT. Gros- yenor likewise figured.
 MT. Smith moved to adjourn pending the disposal of the bill, and MT. Grosvernor was instantly upon his feet protesting that he had parliamentary inquiry.
 It was to find the effect of adjournment that MT. Grosvernor rose. A wrangle en- sued pending the vote to adjourn, during which MT. Grosvenor, in response to some nearby member, who had suggested that adjournment would be equivalent to con- tinuing the order, making the election bill privileged tomorrow, said, angrily: "Yes, I know it is a continuing order, and its pur- pose is to obstruct the passage of the Hawaiian resolution"
 There was a ripple of applause at this from members favoring annexation. Above the noise of applause and comment Mr. ''the gentleman should be ashamed to make such an accusation" addressing with much yigor MT. Grosvenor.
 After the comnotion had quieted In a measure, MT. Grosvernor put his query to the speaker, who said the effect of adjourn ment would leave the election bill the priv ileged business to be called up tomorrow, but he added, replying to further query, that the question of consideration could be raised and the house tomorrow could vote to displace the bill. The vote pro- ceeded, resulting In favor of adjournment, but a roll call was ordered, resulting in ayes 101; nays, Sl, and the house adjourned.
