He Explains His Recent Remark to 4 e Lords. DUBLIN, March 19,—The Independent today, commenting on Lord Rosebery's speech at Edinburgh Saturday, says: j- “Lord Rosebery has followed the lead of the ministerial journals, and we at once confess that he has profited by their teach- ing. The Freeman's Journal remarks: “Lord | Rosebery has more than justified the trust | the. Irish reposed in him.’ In his speech at Edinburgh Lord, Rosebery |safd, commenting on his famous iiouse of lords speech, that on the lirst night of the Session “no man in my position could have avoided the subject of home rule. thought I had dealt with it in absolute | frankness and absolute perspicuity. My critics admit that, but unfortunately the interpretation they place upon my words is not that which I put upon them myself. What I satd was that if we wanted to carry home rule we. must carry conviction to the heart of England, and by -those words I stand.” “We do not propose to sit on the banks of the stream of time and watch the | Stream pass by until it runs dry.

Republican Candidates for Congress- man-at-Large From Kans Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kan., March 19.—There are three republicans in Kansas who are work- ing hard for the nomination for Congress- man-at-large. The fact that the nomina- ton for governor will go to ex-Congressman Morrill practically by acclimation has shift- ed the contest to the fight for Congress- man-at-large, and Edward P. Greer of Cow- léy, R. W. Blue of Linn and George L. Douglass of Sedgwick are losing no time in getting over the state prior to the as- sembling of county conventions. Greér rep- resents the young crowd in Kansas poll- tics, and is considered the.strongest man in the race. Two years ago he came near defeating ex-Governor Anthony fot the nomination, and it is the belief now among well-posted politicians that he has the call on his oppofients in this fight. Z Douglass wilt be strong.in the rural por- tions of the state, because of his position as speaker in the last legislature. In the country precincts the average republican looks upon Douglass as the savior of the party last winter. ‘They think that his smashing-of the doors to representative hall with a sledge hammer was a patriotic act that should be” recognized, and, of course, this class will be for him. Bine is the soldier candidate. He was j urged to go into the race at the recent Grand Army encampment, and will have a large following, from that clement. Rev. Bernard Kelly {s-also talked ubout, but he is not making a canvass for the nomina- tion. If Congressman-at-large W. A. Harris should be the fusion candidate for governor, it is almost certain that ex-Go' or Charles Robinson will be the populist-demo- cratic candidate for Congressman-at-large.

He had told me that I was to be a part of his life forever, and that I) should be his wife’ at some future time.” Coming to Washington. Miss Pollard stated’ that Col. Breckinridge had told her that he thought best for both that he should take her with him to Wash- ington. She left Lexington tn Sepember, Issi, for this city, and her second child Was born here the next momth. The plaintiff then detailed her move- ments here, as heretofore described.

Breckinridge met her at the station, said the plaintiff. They drove into the couniry, when Col. Breckinridge told her that he had something to tell her which he was vain enough to believe she would like to hear. This, explained the plaintiff, was in Au- gust, 1892. They did meet in the evening, when he promised to marry her. They had first visited an assignation house on Sth street, when he remarked that tt was the proper place to talk of such things.

Their Work. Changes Made in Schedules—Hawali to Be Left Alone—To Be Reported to Committee. The democratic members of the Senate committee on finance have completed their work on the tariff bill, and will submit the changes which they have made from | the bill as drafted by the subcommittee at a meeting of the full committee to be held this afternoon. The principal change which they have made in this bill is in the sugar ‘schedule, and that has been modified so |as to take into account the color as well |as the polarization of sugar. The change made will add one-eighth of a cent per pound on the color test, so as to insure to the refiner this much protection. This is in accordance with the original inten- tion of the committee, but it has been claimed that the bill as at first reported to the full committee would discriminate against the refiners. it is not, known as yet at what point the change in'sugar rates will be made. | To Abrogate the Reciprocity Treaties. It ts also understood that the bill will be amended so as to make positive declaration ‘for the abrogation of the reciprocity treaties made under the McKinley act. This will be | done simply to satisfy the sugar men and leave no doubt as to the intention of the | bill in this respect, and not because the | democratic members vf the committee have any doubt that the bill as it nédw stands would accomplish this purpose. . | It is also probable that the clause in. the bill abrogating the Hawaiian treaty will be struck out. There has been some contention | among the democratic members on this score, and two or three votes have been taken upon a proposition to strike it qut, a majority at first opposing this change. The rincipal argument which has béeh made ‘or it has been based upon the ground af expediency, and it has been urged that if it should be permitted to remain, it would be the means of introducing the Hawaiian complications into the tariff discussion. All | have agreed that this should be avoided, if possible, without surrendering too much, and the latest reliable statement is that, this argument has won and that the amendment will be stricken out. Domestic Cigna These, together with the restoration of the présent law regarding the tax on domestic cigars, will be the principal changes made. The ledé ore duty and whisky tax, as well as the duty placed, upon coal and iron ore, Will remain as — ‘in the bill by the democratic members. There will be a few changes in the fruit schedule and some minor articles which were taken from the free list and made dutiable will be restored to the freé list, ‘The bill, when it next sees the light, will also show several changes in the administrative part of the bill, and the amendment inserted by the democratic mem- bers of the committee providing for the re- peal of the entire McKinley act, will be modified so as elther to specify what por- tions of that act shall remain in force or repeal the parts in conflict with the pend- ing act. | AMENDING THE BILL. Commissioners Suggest Changes in Brightwood Railroad Extension, The Commissioners have completed their report to Congress upon House bill 4479, providing for an extension of the Bright- wood raflroad, The bill proposes an exten- sion northward by the Blair road to the District line, and an extension eastward Over a private right of way from the main line on Brightwood road to the District line. The Commissioners say there appears to be need of the extension to Takoma Park for a better accommodation to suburban traffic, and they favor the general proposition of the extension. The proposed route along Blair road, how- ever, is not free from serious objections, and yet this is the only available route over pub- Ne space. Blair road is a country lane 33 feet wide: The available width for vehicles, on account of trees and ditches, and for a part of the way of slopes and cuts, is sev- eral feet Jess. Continuing, the-report says: Residents on the east side of Blair road, where there are eight dwellings, protested against the preposed railroad; a delegation of the residents stated that they would not object to a track on the extreme west side, where there were no dwellings. Two own ers of tracts on the west side, representing the greater length of frontage en Blair road, from Piney Branch road to the D trict line, have petitioned for the extension of the railway along the extreme west line of Blair road. It is not contemplated in the highway extension plans to retain Blair road, except for one square north of Carroll avenue. Blair road at a point near and north of Piney Branch road can now he™reached from Carroll avenue terminus over exist- ing streets. In view of the foregoing circumstances, it is recommended that the bill be amend- ed; first, that a single track extension be authorized, from the intersection of Sth street and Blair road, north on Blair road to Vermillion street, east to 7th street, north on 7th street to Blair road and thence along the extreme west line of Blair road to the District line. 2d. That when streets may be laid out adjacent to Blair road, the Commissioners | shall be empowered to designate a route for the railway track substantially paral- lel to Blair road, on which route the com- pany may lay its track, and thereupon, after reasonable not the right to use Blair road for ratlway purposes shall cease. > A NEW INDICTMENT, Witnesses Again Appear on the Ains- worth Affair. It was stated that when the indictment against Ainsworth, Covert, Sasse and Dant for manslaughter in the case of F. B. Lof- tus, killed in the Ford Theater building, Was set aside by the decision of the Court of Appeals that it was probaple that a new indictment would be found. This course having been determitied on, District At- torney Birney has sent witnesses before the grand jury, on whose evilence he ex- pects to prove a new indictmeft. , Today the following witnesses were before the grand jury: James L. Parsons, Edward Clarke, Thomas B. Entwisle, James H. Dony, Charies W. Perkins, David ‘T, Cissei and Fs W. Pilling, ail of Whom ate archi- tects or builders. ees JUSTICE SUTHERLAND/ SENTENCED.

The Senate this aft#rncon passed the bill for the promotion of anatomical science and prevention of the desecration of graves in the District of Columbia. A | number of amendments proposed by the | District committee were agreed to. The Senate then, at the request of Mr. Faulkner, took up Senate bill 823, fo sys- tematizé the form of deeds for the transfer “of real estate in the District of Columbia. Thé bill was about upon tts passage when Senator Allison called attention to the short notice given by the law of sales un- der trust deeds and suggested that instead of ten days sixty days should be given. Senator Fauiknér replied that the bills for advertising for sixty Gays would de enormous, and he suggested that if a longer period were added publication should be at the rate of once a week. Mr. Allen accepted this proposition. He said it was preposterous that a man who had put his money into real estate in good faith should be deprived of his property with such brief motice. The discussion was ‘con- tinuéd to some length. a AGAINST FURTHER SIDINGS. The hearing given by the Commissioners this afternoon to those interested in House bili 5953, to grant to the residents of square 426 the right to run a railroad siding into said square, was not devoid of interest, and showed plainly that the residents and property holders of South Washington are not going to sit idly by agd see the rail- road company encroach upon their resi- dences. A large delegation of residents and prop- erty holders in the neighborhood of this Square were present at the hedring. Mr. Samuel Maddox represented them. He sub- mitted a lengthy petition setting forth the oe already occasioned by ‘the rail- road. The east half of square 326 is all built up with handsome dwelling Jhouses, and the comfortable use and occupation of these | houses would be greatly interfered vith and disturbed by the switching of cars into and out of the west half of this square, roperty owners and residents in that sec- tion of the ¢ityyare now already sufficiently incommoded by the uses to which Maryland avenue is already put in the passing back and forth of trains, and he argued their burdens should not in any y be added to by any further extension of tracks or sidings. Mr. James F. Barbour appeared in behalf of the bill. He argued that the business: interests of the city should be regarded, and the property in square 326 would be greatly enhanced in value if the bill be- came a law, —__ Nominations by the President.

Moody and Sankey never in ‘the history of their work, probably, held such meetings, nor were favored by any secular papers with such wonderful reports. Ser- mons were repreached, hymns were quoted and resung, even to the saloon and dens of vice, as well as thoroughly enjoyed in the ness and purity everywhere, ut a heart-sickening following ory of outrage and wronged nhood! It is said “t flected the doings of a day ors in this drama of life are alone re- sponsible.” “Tis true there is much of truth in this, and yet I trust that the secu- lar press of this city, which has always been so fair and generous tow: man’s Christian Tempers the cause of woman in 7 makes to better her condition, listen to an appeal to guard well the head- lines of this horrible recital of sin and suf- fering and see that no unnecessary dis type is used, and no dreadful details given, which are not necessary to bring just_and speedy condemnation upon the gullty, ahd a glad relief to the purity-loving sentiment which so largely predominates In this com- munity, both inside and outside of official life.
