EXCITEMENT IN HOUSE
Over the Seizure Of William O Brien's
 Paper Yesterday. N

London, May ] 1.-The police of Cork. Limerick and other towns of Ireland seized all the copies of William O'Brien's weekly paper, the Irish Peo- pie, found at the news dealers yester- day. The offending articles were abusive attacks on King Edward ana ! Cardinal Vaughn and the address to the king.
 E In the house of commons yesterday. John Dillon, nationalist, moved an ad- journment in order to call attention to the seizure of the Irish People. MT Dillon complained that the action of the authorities was grossly illegal. He said far more violent attacks on Queen Victoria had been made in the Eng ish papers without their being seized. The present action was blow to the liberty of the press.
 William Redmond; nationalist, sec onded the motion, characterizing the article complained of as very proper and patriotic attack on the conduct of the chief secretary
 MT Balfour, the government leader, denied that the government was att tacking either the freedom of the press or legitimate Irish agitation. He asked if the publication of an obscene libel was necessary weapon for the na- t1Onal1StS.
 The epithets he could employ were too strong to describe this foul and poisonous article. No man in that house could expect any government to allow an act of such gross indecency to be committed with impunity. John Burns (socialisD expressed the opinion that if the article had been submitted to the king he would have smiled and thrown it into the waste paper basket.
 MT Wyndham, in defending the seiz- 1re, declined to "son his lips with read ing the attack on the king, which con- stituted seditious libel, or to wound the feelings of millions by propagating the outrageous, gross and scurrilous lies of the article.'
 The motion for an adjournment was defeated by vote of 252f to 64.
 The article referred to, after casting all sorts of obscene slurs upon King Edwards character and past life, closed thus: '.The oath of a purjurers is no less vile than that of the reigning king; but, on pended knees, the prince of the church knelt before this unut- terably abominable person. Let us console ollrselven with the fact that the presentees " Ss English Catholics who are repudia. say the only really Catholic nation now } existence. The loyalists represented . tsland only, and if the English CathoI- choose to acknowledge themselves suIr Nsitlous idolaters it is no fault of ours.'1

THE STATES BUTTONS.
Visitors to Capitol Given Information
 bout Them

&i stAs <
 The two cases of buttons on the third floor of the capitol, says the Hartford Times, directly opposite the state library, are q source of attrac- ton to visitors, and many an inquiry is made as to their origin, and why they should be on exhibition in the capitol. Mrs Pidgin, the wife, of Charles F. Pidgin. the chief clerk in the office of the bureau of statistics of labor of Massachusetts, was recently in the capitol and was curious to know the history of the buttons. She re turned home without having her curi- osity gratifed. One of the officials in a department received a letter. from Boston, dated May i, from Chief Clerk Pidgin, in which he referred to the. fact of his wife's visit, and to her curi- osity about the buttons. He asked for information about them.
 The official in his reply stated that ssduring the button craze some eighteen years ago, MT Tingue plush manufactures at Seymour, Conn, ad- mired string of buttons collected by a lady in his town. She gave them to him. He, in return, presented her with 9 gold piece, and remarked that he would give q like sum for strings of buttons as good or better than that one. His remark was taken up by the newspapers, and the result was that strings of buttons came to him from all parts of the country. He kept his agreement, however, which cost him something over two thousand dollars. Later on he presented the buttons to the state of Connecticut. They were accepted and placed on exhibition at the capitol, as seen by Mrs Pidgin.'

TAX ON CORPORATIONS.
Bill Conflicts With the General Law
 Regarding Savings Banks.


 In the senate yesterday, Senator Burton of Ansonia moved the reconsid- eration of the passage on Thursday Of the bill fixing q tax of l per cent on the stocks of banks, insurance, trust and other corporations The senate reconsidered the passage and the bill was tabled.
 Senator Burton explained that the bill, in the form passed, contained a provision regarding savings banks which is in conflict with the general law regarding the duties of the state board of equalization in the fixing of the valuation of stocks. He said that the bill Woulid need to be amended or the general law changed. This could be best decided after conference with the members of the state board of equalization on Tuesday next.
 Senator Burton further explained that the present law requires savings banks to make their returns for taxa ton on or before the 10th day of Jan uary, and to pay one-half the tax by January 20, and they are under penal ty for not doing so, under section 3,918. The bill gives the board of equalization until January 31 to make their final returns on the valuation of stocks for taxation. Thus it's will be seen the general law conflicts with this bill, as the board may delay valuations until January 31, which is eleven days later than the time, January 20, on which the savings banks must make their payment of taxes, and twenty days after the date on which they must file returns. The board of equal ization is not required to mail before January 31 the written notice to each corporation of the value placed on it's stock by the board. The savings banks, therefore, might not be advised of the valuations of stocks they hold at the time they are required to make their reurns.
 It will be evident that some trouble might result from the differences be- tween the requirements of the general law and the bill taxing corpora ton stocks. Senator uBrton noticed l.e discrepancy when Investigating the bearing of the new bill on the affairs of the Savings bank of Ansonia, of which he is secretary and treasurer, and on reaching Hartfod yesterday he brought the matter to the attention of Treasurer Hart of the Society of Saw ings. It was concluded that an amend ment was need to protect the interests of the savings banks of the state, and the bill therefore, will be held in the senate until the necessary amendment can be agreed upon anh drafted.

Mr.. Gallup was holding his breath
over the statement that the Virgins

course be didn't answer.

She looked full at Mr.. Gallup for the
first time. His eyes were still glued to
that pamphlet. 1t was stated that the
Virgins washer was SO constructed
that it could be attached to potato
slicer or an apple parer and no readers
interest could help but grow.
Mrs. Gallup waited 60 seconds for
an answer. and then as none came she
softly rose up and went out into the
kitchen and began to get things ready
for breakfast. She had been gone ten
minutes when Mr.. Gallup smiled. He
didn't smile because he heard her sing

but because Mr.. Virgins finished his
pamphlet with the declaration that no
