Chamberlain Retorted to Dillon's Re-
mark That Dillon Seemed to
Know Traitors.
London, March 21.-One of the live
hest scenes witnessed in the house OF
commons since the palmiest days of
the Irish Nationalist, ended yester-
day with the suspension of John Dill
lon. During the discussion of the
South African affairs, the Liberal lead
er, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman.
vigorously protested against the gov
ernment's conduct in uttering "malig-
nant ISLANDERS" in calling the liberals
"pro-Boers." The ISLANDERS, Sir Henry
said, were used for party purposes.
The government which had been go
ing from blunder to blunder, claimed
immunity from criticism and Il
would follow, "the precedent Of the
evil days of the American war" The
speaker proceeded to give bitter,
detailed criticism of the governments
treatment of the Beers and its miscal.
culations, declaring that the honor
and interests of the country were tust
as dear to the liberals as to the most
supercilious defender Of the govern
ments policy, and the libertls would
continue to protest in the name of the
righteous and generous traditions OF
the nation against the methods Of
the government.
The colonial secretary, Mr.. Cham
berlain, in the course of an equally
incisive reply, said that he desired to
deliberately accuse Sir t.enry Camp
bell-Bannerman of losing no oppor-
tunity for slandering his countrymen.
the soldiers and the government. Con-
sequently the 'mangnant ISLANDERS"
had come from the other side.
The speaker, VIM. court Gulley,
here interviewed and declared that the
term malignant SANDER" was unpar-
limentary. Both Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman and Mr.. Chamberlain with
drew their words amid cheers.
Mr.. Chamberlain proceeding, refer
red to the Beers who are figning on
the British side. John Dillon inter
jected: They are traitors" on which
Mr.. Chamberlain retortea: "The hon
orable gentleman is good judge Of
traitors"

Mr.. Dillon then said: 81 will tell
the right honorable member that he
Is damned liar"
A dead silence followed this remark.
Such supplementary language seem.
ed to stun the house.
The speaker invited Mr.. Dillon to

The motion carried, PAS to 4S.
Mr.. Dillon's suspension, under the
present rules, cannot exceed n week.
His offense would have been much
more severely dealt with had the new

Was Confirmed by the Senate With
out Division. n

Washington, March 15.-The senate
spent an hour in executive session
yesterday on the convention growing
out Of The Hague peace conference.
relating to the conduct of war on land
and sea, and finally ratified the agree
ment without division. The discus
sion turned entirely on the conduct
of the war in the Philippines, and re.
lated especially to General Funston s
capture of Aguinaldo.
Some of the members of the com.
mittee on foreign relations said briefly
that the ratification of the treaty
would place this country in accord
with the highest thought Of the times.
and expressed the hope that the treaty
would receive the unanimous support
of the senate. Those who raised
questions apropos of the discussion
disclaimed any intention to prevent
favorable action.
The countries party to the treaty
are Germany, Austria, Belgium. Den
mark, Spain, the United States, Mex
leo, France, Great Britain, Greece.
Italy, Japan. Gutenberg. Montenegro.
Netherlands, Persia, Portugal, Rou-
mania, Russia, Servia, Sweden, Nor
way. Turkey and Bulgaria.
The provisions Of the treaty are
binding only on the contracting pow
ers in case the war between two or
more of them, and cease to be binding
when a non-contracting power joins
either of the belligerents. The most
important feature Of the treaty, the
contents Of which have been general
ly known, is that prohibiting the use
of "dum-dum" bullets.

the chief curiosity of Deep Hollow,
Pa. Last spring. when Branning was
blasting bluestone rocks on the noun

One night last week Mr.. Brannins

by ,Petes loud rafting. The snake

unmistakable evidence that something

THE EASTER EGG.

The Easter egg has always been one
of the most popular features Of the
Eastertlde. 1t owes its origin, as
many of the popular Easter observ-
ances do, to pagan tradition. 1t was
held as symbolic OF renewed life, and
in the Christian church is an old EN-.
blem of the resurrection. In Germany,
instead Of the Easter egg, is presented
an emblematic print, in which three
hens are holding a basket, wherein
are three eggs; whereas in Vienna
the Easter egg is composed or silver.
mother Of pearl, or bronze, and filed
with knickknacks of some kind.
Formerly in England the Easter egg
was solemnly blessed by the priest,
and. being deliberately colored, was oft
on kept as an amulet. Easter eggs, or
pace or pask eggs as they used to be
called, have from time immemorial
been prepared much as they are today,
being boiled hard in water colored
with red, blue, or violet dyes. with
inscriptions, devices. or landscapes
traced upon them. Some OF the de-
signs are very beautiful.

NOTICES FOR THE DAY.

The latest notices for Easter are as
distinctive and appropriate to the sea-
son as any of the gift articles. They
are little papier mache boxes. made
in the shape of chickens. the downy.
newly Matched kind. The heads Of
these lift off. and inside is found the
cap and motto.
1t is becoming more and more the
custom every year for people who are
fond of each other to send Easter
gifts. and so the shops vie with each
other in producing novelties appropri.
ate for the season. OF course. the for
lists do the largest business Of the
year, as flowers are emblematic of the
holiday. But many persons would
rather give some remembrance which
will last beyond the day.
