He Declares ‘That the Coercion Bil Shall Not Pass—HBoth He and Parnell Confident That They Can Defeat, or at Least Take the Sting Out of It. Special Cable Dispatch to Tux EVENING STAR. Losbo, April 1.—A friend 1n private life, who had interviews yesterday with Gladstone and Par- nell, has placed me in possession of direct infor- mation upon thetr feelings and intentions with regard to the present situation. Both leaders expressed a strong conviction that the coercion bill will not become a law. “It will not pass,” sald Parnell, “It shall not pass,” said Gladstone, The latter added, “Iwill take any steps that may be to prevent tt.” “But they say the speaker 1s prepared to suspend even you, Mr. Gladstone,” sald my friend. ‘They Will suspend me, will they?” said Gladstone, with one of his commons gestures. “Then I tell’ you, 1t would not stop there.” In further conversation | GLADSTONE RXPRESBED EVEN GREATER INDIGNATION and astonishment at the contents of the bill than he has already expressed in the house, Parnell Was cooler, but not less confident in his belief that in face of the absolutely exhaustive opposi- {ion which will be offered by the solid phalanx of liberals fudicals and Irish members to every lino; and, if necessary, almost every word of the bil When it reaches the committee stage the govern ment Will find it practically impossible, though their majority, theoretically, amply suttices. to carry the meastre without such vital modifica. Uons as will render the introduction of it at all only discreditable to them, It ts Of Lhe greatest interest, of course, to know that these sanguine views are held by’ the two men most entitled to speak, but I must_ add that less iniormed persons fail to see what ts to prevent the success of the ‘government if they stick to their guns, A pennants cer of the cabinet said to me lst night that they, of course, fully expected a'great and sudden inercasect crime, both agrarian and of a more serious sort, LABOUCHERE'S SCRIPTURAL PRECEDENT FOR BOYCOT- TING. ‘There was an angry but unimportant squabble n the commons last night, Tne only points of the debate worth mentioning were Labouchere’s de- fense of boycotting on scriptural grounds by means of the text: “For the Jews bave no deal- ings with the Samaritans,” which plunged the house into roars of laughter for two minutes, and his suggestion that instead of bringing Irish pris- oners to an English jury it would be simpler and Jess expensive fo send an English jury over to Dub- In, The Primrose League, headed by Lord Salisbury, he added with Peston accuracy, Was the most gigantic dDoycotting association ever known. From the conversation quoted above I am con- vinced, again that the prophecy 1 ventured to make last December that Salisbury would find himself compelled to dissolve parliament about Easter will prove to have been not far trom tne mark. a MORE SYMPATHY FOR IRELAND. Resolutions Against Coercion Offered im the New York Assembly. Atpany, N. ¥., April 1.—In the senate this morn- ing, Mr. Murphy Introduced the following: Whereas the English government 1s again about to resort to cruel and coercive measures In its ‘Ureatment of Irish affairs, madly proposing to so far forget itself, and the rights of its subjects as to Sk (0 infringe upon the great bulkwarks of Eng- lish liberty (the right of trial by jury) in seeking to enact a law by which Irishmen may be dragged from their homes and tried before English juries for allezed political oftenses; and Whereas the history of centuries proves that. England’s government of Ireland has been one of onpression ‘and misrille, and alone responsible for the alleged lawlessness which it now seeks to re- press by cruel and coercive legislation; and Whereas we believe home rule ts the only balm for wounds of unfortunate Ireland and the only guarantee for peace and prosperity of that dis- tracted county, therefore Resolved, That this senate does hereby protest in the name of humanity against the enactment of the proposed coercion bill by the English go’ ernment, and send greeting to William . Glad.| stone and Charles Stewart Parnell tn their noble and humane effort to prevent such cruel, unjust and tyrannical legislation as that proposed by the ish ministry, and in their endeavors to secure for Ireland the inestimable boon of home rule. The resolutions were temporarily tabled. In supporting the resolutions, Mr. Murphy stated that seven States had already passed similar resolu- Uons. A like resolution was introduced in the assembly. THE KISSANE INDICTMENT. Recorder Smythe Hefuses to Dismiss it Until He Learns More About It, ‘New York, April 1.—Recorder Smythe, in gene- Tal sessions to-day, Heard argument on the mo- tion by Counsellor J. B. Hart, of San Francisco, to have a nolle prosequi entered on the indictment for forgery on file in the district attorney's omco against Win, Kissane, now a wealthy and, and in- fuential citizen of Sap Francisco, The indictment Was for the forgery of a check for $12,000 in 1864 against the Chémical | Bank, of” this. city. Counseller Jones aj for ‘the bank and op- Posed the motion. He said that Kissane bad not made any restitution to the bank for the ioney thus obtained in 2 criminal manner, although it appeared that he was well-to-do, Lawyer Jones submitted an affidavit made by the cashter of the bank, which set forth that the bank hid sutlere & loss of $26,000 by Kissane’s forgeries. District Attorney was present, and favored dis. missing the indictment, considering the length of time elapsed, and that'Kissane had reformed and was leading’ an honest fe. Everything consi ered, he was not disposed to call the case for trla at tlils late day. Recorder Smythe Was not $0 Wille ing to dismiss the matter, He said there was no evidence that Lawyer Hart was acting with Kis. sane’ consent, and intimated that. he would re- quire assurance upon this point before taking ac tion, A ram trom the principal in the case would not be sufficient, ‘The parties then left court. THE VIRGINIA DEBT. ‘The Efforts to Come to an Understand- ing With the Bondholders, Ricuwoxp, Va., April 1.—Gov. Lee to-day re- celved a cablegram from Mr. Bouverie, chairman of the council of foreign bondhoygers in London, tn relation to the debt settlement, fn which Mr. Bou- verie says: “Your cable of 31st 1s satistactory. It is essential, however, that sufficient time be ale for due examipation and discussion of the fon. Would the legislature suspend and re- assemble after, say, thirty days to receive the report of the committee, or, will your committee have power to sit after the disolution of the present legislature and report to the next legislature. If the deliberations Were Hmited to the’ present sit- ting of the legislature, a few days after the arrival in Virginia would be ‘altogether insufficient, and {t would be useless our sending a commission, Now, it would be better, under such circumstances, to postpone the commission until autumn.

A BAPE BLOWN OPEN, ITS CONTENTS STOLEN, AND AN OFFICE PIBED. Shortly before 3 o'clock this morning persons in the neighborhood of 6th and 8 streets northwest Were aroused from their sleep hy hearing the re- Port of an explosion apparently in or near the ‘Wood and coal yard of Sievers & Brothers, whose Office 1s at No. 628 8 street. No further noise was heard and no attention was paid tothe matter Unt] about a half hour later, when a bright light ‘Was seen in the office. It was then found that the office had evidently been forced and the safe blown open, and then the building set on fire to cover up the tracks of the burglars. Officer Barnes was Soon at the fire and an alarm was turned in from box No. 27, The fire department responded Promptly, and by the time the engines had arrived at the "scene the water at the stand-pipe at the head of 16th street had been turned on, and it was found there was no scarcity of the aqueous fluid to exti the flames, The fire had gained considerable head- Way before the alarm was turned in and the flames spread rapidly (rom the office through the dry ‘wood piled under the shed and had nearly reached the stable, when they were checked bya stream of water.” After the fire had been extinguished it ‘Was discovered that the safe had been Dored and Diown open and robbed of its contents—geveral hundred dollars. A quantity of silver money left in the safe was scattered about among the smouldering timbers, and was gathered up after daylight. ‘The brace supposed to have been used by the burglars was found tn a narrow alley in the Tear of the stable, where it had been thrown over ‘the fence in rear of the yard. ‘The police reported this morning that the fire Was caused by the explosion of a coal-oll lamp, Which had been left lighted tn the office. ‘This Mr. Sievers dented when asked about it by a Stax re- porter. He said there was considerable money in the safe, but he did not at this time care to say how much, a3 the matter was to be kept quiet. ‘The office was entirely destroyed, as was the ad- folning shed, a pile of wood and a wagon, and the large Seales used for weighing coal were badly damaged, SUPPOSED TO BE PROFESSIONAL SAFE-BLOWEES. ‘The men Who did the job are supposed to be pro- fessional safe-blowers, and the same who have recently cracked safes in Baltimore and ‘Towson- town, Md., and Alexandria and Luray, Va, In De- eember Tast a safe was blown ih West Washington, followed by the robbery ag Albaugh's Opera House a few weeks later, and how the present job tn this city.
