LONG RISES TO CORRECT “THE RECORD” AND DEFEND CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, ‘Mr. Long (Mass.), rising to @ correction of the Record, said that In a speech made some weeks ago the gentleman from California (Mr, Henley) hud charged that Charles Francis Adams, of the U. P. R. R., had committed gross violations of law. He bad asked the gentleman to specify what those violations were, and the only speci- fication made by the gentleman was that Mr, Adams had himself stated that the matter uf tree passes given by the Union Pacific cost the government some $2,000 a day. He (Mr, Long) had denied the correctness of ‘this statement, @nd he found that his denial was altogether too broad. As it appeared irom his published speech, Mr, Henicy had said that it cost ihe company $2,000 a day. Mr. Adams, in bis testimony ‘before @ Senate committee, bad Staved that {ros paades coat the company $2,000 @day. But this was not # violation o! law, aud the statement was accompanied by the modi- fying remark that muny of the passes were issued the railroad employes, In ex- ‘ending his remarks in the Heoord, Mr. Henley had nude wuut purported to be’a quotation from Mr. Adams himself, consisting of some 68 lines, and contatuing very severe reflections on the Union Pacific and on Mr. Adams and the gentlemen connected with him in the con- struction of the road. 1t seemed to be a quota tion irom a book of pamphlet written by Aix, Adains in 1369, He found upon examina- (on thet the first twenty-four lines of that al- Jeged quotation were words which were taken trom tuat book or pamphlet, but the remain- ing tirly-iour limes were ‘words which Mr. Adams tad never uttered” and never written, and which were incorrect and improperly at tributed to him by the gentlemun from Call- Jornia, About eighteen months ago an anony- mous pamphlet hud been published containing ‘S sovere criticism on Mr. Adams, In this pame phietappesred the first twenty-four lives of the quotation. ‘Then followed iu ditferent type Certain disconnected passages which had now been putin Mr. Adums’ mouth.

Mr, Henley said that the gentleman was right in the statement that he (Mr. Henley) hud attributed cervain language to Mr. Adauns which lie had never uttered or written. When ke prepared his speech"he remembered that a good many years ago Mr, Adams had written & scathing arraignment of the Union Pacitic, its directors, the Credit Mobiller, and Oates Ares, Before the Senate committee Mr. Adams had become uot only the apoligist, but the eulogist of the Union Pacific, which he had previously denounced. He (Mr. Henley) had thought it a fair matter of criticisin for hitn to criticise Mr. Adams’ past Gnd prevent utterances, Not having “alr.

In the part of the quotation which was conceded to be correct the sentiment and de- nunciution was in exact accord and entire bar- mony With that part which had been improp- erly atirivuted to Mr, Adams. Mr. Long then tovic up the cl es made in Mr. Henley’s printed speech, and denied them. in detail. Mr, Honley.—Everything I allege there can be proven. ‘ne matter was then dropped.

A Vast and Enthusiastic Gathering in Loudon—J. right’s Hostility. Special Cable Dispatch to THe EVENING STAR. Loxpox, June 24.—What was probably the most enthusiastic meeting yet held in favor of home rule outside of Gladstone's own gatherings in the north, convened in St. James’ all last night. Parnell was absent, but was ably repre- sented by Mr. Sexton. Every inch of the hall was crowded to overflowing. Chamberlain's name was received with croans and hisses, the effect on the audience being like a red rag to@ bull, The audience comprised all classes, peers, Peascnts, clerks, clergymen, ministers, me- chanics, women of society, and women of the people. Many Irishmen were present. Sex- ton's explanation of the Parnell-Carnarvon in- terview created immense interest, the chief event being, however, the reading of a telegram to Hawarden by Lord’Sandhurst, who presided, informing Gladstone of the enthusiastic una: nimity of the gathering. The exclamation trom some one, “The old man will sleep well when he geis that” expresses the general sentiment of the audience. The only other important piece of political news this morning is Bright's letter toCaine. If the election is lost by Gladstone it will be pri- marily due to Bright's hostility. Bright com- mends Caine's honesty to the electors of Bar- row. If auy politician has faced both ways in the present struggle it is Chamberlain's whip, this Mr, Caine. —— 18 IT A STOCK-JO: Strike in Chicago. CHICAGO, June 24.—The situation in the yards Of the Lake Shore railroad, in this city, remains unchanged. The regular passenger trains are moving as usual, but an effectual blockade of freight traffic has occurred. No treight trains have been moved, and up to 8 o'clock no attempt had been made to make up any trains, Incoming treight trains have all been stopped at Englewood and at other stations outside tne city, and, judging from the tormer experience OF the railroad, unless the state affords protec. tion, the company will be powerless against the | strikers. The sheriff of the county, ina pub- lished interview, to-day condemns the railroad company, and declares that it has not lived up to its agreement, intimating that it offered to discharge the non-union men. What basis he has for this assertion has not yet been explained, His attitude, however, taken in counection with the experience in tue former sirike, bas Qccastoned surprise and subjected him to com- ment One of the papers this morning says: “The only attempt at an explanation of the strike appeared in @ rumor that it was a result of the Preconcerted stock-jobbing scheme.
