Police Court Justice as to Their Teeth and Cackle. This is the season of the year when biting and barking dogs and crowing roosters and cackling hens are the themes of the loudest complaint, and the annual crusade against canines and fowls has fairly begun. There were three cases in the Police Court today, two making charges of alleged biting dogs and one against cackling hens. Police Sergeant R. R. Boyle of the third precinct was the prosecuting witness in one of the dog cases. He has a neightor named Nathan E. Delavergne, who is the owner and possessor of a large canine. Sergeant Boyle also owns a large dog, a setter, and the animal is a pet about the house and plays with the children on the street. His neighbor's dog is also a pet in the house, but when on the street he manages to whip other dogs, among his victims being Ser- geant Boyle's dog. The last time the dogs met the police officer's dog was badly treat- ed and needed several applications of vaseline. In stating the case to the court, Sergeant Boyle said he did not care for his neighbor's assault on his dog, but he ts afraid that some time, when the dogs are fighting, the children will endeavor to separate them and get torn to pieces. Other witnesses were called, who gave corroborative evi- dence, while witnesses for the defendant gave the dog a good reputation. Judge Kimball, in disposing of the case, said it was not a question of whether the dog attacked another animal or not. The law refers to dogs dangerous to persons, and does not mean an animal that will fight one of its own kind. “A dog that will not bite sometimes,” said the court, “is not worth much, ard, certainly, when they meet on the streets, they are going to fight.” “I don’t care anything about the case so far as my dog is concerned,” interrupted Sergeant Boyle, “but I am afraid my chil- dren will get injured.” Judge Kimball said that the facts did not constitute a violation of the law, and dismissed the case. Mrs. Louisa Stewart, a colored woman, who lives at No. 306 3d street southeast, was in court because she owns chickens. The fowls, however, cackle and crow early in the morning, and Mr. R. G. Wall's boarders complained of the annoyance. Mrs, Stewart said she was guilty, but she had never been told of any annoyance caused by her loud and boisterous chickens, and sald that she would have ended the trouble if Mr. Wall had complained to her. Mr. Wall told the court that it was either a question of chickens or boarders, for the latter had threatened to leave the house if the chickens remained. In consideration of Mrs. Stewart's promise to get rid of the chickens, the court suspended execution of sentence. Henry Johnson, an old colored man, was aceused of being the owner of a biting dog, | end Edward H, Lee,who complained against | him, failed to appear and prosecute the case. | Judge Kimball thereupon dismissed the case for want of prosecution. _—-—_ BATTLE WITH MINERS. An Illinois Sherif Unable to Cope With a Mob, There was a bloody battle at Little’s coal mine, five miles down the Illinois river from Pekin, Ill, yesterday. Word was re-| ceived at Pekin in the morning that 500 miners from the west side of the river were about to attack the mine. Sheriff Freder- icks swore in a posse and set out for the scene. The strikers assembled at Benton- ville and crossed the Illinols by ferries. There were about 40) men and some women. The sheriff and posse remonstrated with the mob in vain. The leader of the strikers, with a revolver in each hand, cried out, “Follow me,” and the crowd charged on the mi: The two Littles and their two sons and a colored man retreated to the tower above the shaft and opened fire. Some of the mob were seen to fall. The fire was returned, and hundreds of shots were fired into and through the tower. The Littles hoisted a white flag, but the firing did not cease. The tower was set on fire, and up shot the flames. It was feared the powder would be reached, and the crowds retreated. The air shaft was kept closed. The killed are: John Jackson, colored, a miner at Little's; Ed. Billom, one of the strikers, Wounded: Ed. Porter and Peter Little of the besieged, the former shot in the breast, probably fatally, the latter in the arm. Half a dozen others were slightly hurt. There are a number of miners in the shaft, who, it is feared, are suffocated. Among them are Gus Moritz, Fred Moritz and John Rockey. The sheriff and posse returned frora the scene, unable to cope with the mob. ———_- e+ —_____ EXCITEMENT IN COLORADO. A Battle Narrowly Averted at Cripple Creek. A battle was expected at Cripple Creek, Colo., yesterday between the fortified union miners on Bull Hill and a force of deputy sheriffs, who had advanced to Beaver Creek, within five miles of Bull Hill, with the declared intention of arresting 200 strikers. The outlook was decidedly warlike until Although the dep- uties cut all the telegraph wires between Cripple Creek and Midland, the miners were quickly informed by their scouts of the ad- vance of the sheriff's force, and prepared for battle. They were willing to submit to the militia. but declared they would never be arrested until the troops arrived. Mayor Lindsay and President Parker of the First National Bank of Cripple Creek | called up Sheriff Bowers by telephone and begged him to stop his deputies until the troops could reach camp. Sheriff Bowers agreed to this. Alex. MeIntosh, representing the miners, announced that they would lay down their arms immediately on the arrival of the state troops. Gov. Waite says that the movement of the aeputy sheriffs against Bul! Hill to ar- rest strikers ts a violation of the armistice. While nothing 's said on this point in the agreement mas by him in behalf of th: with the mine owners, it was tacitly od that no attempt should be to serve any warrants until after the ia had reached Cripple Creek and the mines had been reopened. One of the grievances of the striking coal miners in Colorado has been the issuance of scrip in payment for their work, which they have been forced to accept as money, and use at the company's stores. . Waite claims that this {is a violation of United States law, and will ask the fed- eral authorities to make a thorough investi- gation. The attempt to Induce the miners in the northern part of the state to strike in sympathy with those in the southern part has failed. ——— Graves of Irish Patriots. ‘The graves of the Irish patriots in Mount Olivet cemetery will be decorated next Sun- day at 3 p. m. by the Irish-American Union Association of this city. There will be speaking by prominent members of the association and others. Several of the Irish and Catholic societies, including a militia company, will be present in a body or by representatives. ACTING LIKE VETERANS Maryland Soldiers at Frostburg Win Oredit by Their Bearing. Striking Miners Say That the ‘Will Not Go Back to Work Until They Win. Men Staff Correspondence of The Evening Star. FROSTBURG, Md, June 6, 1894. Nearly two thousand soldier boys of the Maryland National Guard are spending to- night ir. a highly uncomfortable manner in the thirty-one cars which brought them up here last night. Most of the men were thoroughly drenched by the morning's operations, and it has been impossible to dry out the wet garments. That the young soldiers are cheerful under it all speaks highly for the efficiency of the Maryland guard, and that they marched out this morning on empty stomachs, through the drenching rain, to guard little roads and big paths, with hardly a murmur even among themselves, speaks well for their good temper. ‘The men on duty here, as has been stated, consist of the fourth and fifth regiments of the Maryland troops, with H. Kyd Doug- las, adjutant general of the guard, in command of the department, and Brigadier General Stewart Brown in command of the brigade. The fourth has nine companies, and the fifth twelve companies. Both regi- ments have turned out with remarkably full ranks. The fourth has 437 men in line, which is 94 1-2 per cent of the regiment, while the fifth has 523, nearly the same per cent. This does not include the staff or the drum corps of the fifth, which is also here. About twenty-five horses were also brought up, as | well as tents, camp equipage and one gat- ing gun. Camp. No effort has as yet been made to fix up| @ camy formation, the rain-soaked ground and uncertain situation having rendered a stay in the cars much preferable. If camp is pitched it will be between Frostburg and Eckhart, on property belonging to the Con- solidation Mining Company. The Fifth Regiment. a The fifth regiment now here is one of the most famous military organizations in the country. The regiment stands at the front rank, both for social and military ideas. It was organized in 1867, and since then has steadily held in its ranks a large element of the best manhood of Baltimore. It has al- ways been prompt? in its response to calls for wctive service, a1.d during the great rail- road strikes in IS77 the organization did great credit to itself and to the state. The regiment is commanded by Col. W. A. Boy- kin, who, however, is not with the organi- zation, the command devolving on Lieut. Col. Frank Markoe, who is a well-known business man of Baltimore, with a long and highly craditable war record behind him. He served with distinction during the war in the confederate army. The Fourth Regiment. ‘The fourth regiment is another of the crack organizations of Maryland, being com- manded by Col. Willard Howard, with J. B. Phipps as Heutenant colonel. Col. Howard is in command of the regiment. He is an ex-Union officer and a soldier of marked abuity. From present prospects the troops here} for the resent will find little to do except | turn out in the mornings and keep open the entrances te the mines. Under the present conditions there is no chance of any trouble between the strikers and the troops. Such trouble, it is. thought, weutd only come with the Introduction of out- side men, and then would come through efforts to protect such labor. What the Strikers Say. The strikers here, as a body, are not bitter against the soldiers and as yet seem to feel. confident that the men wiil not go to work, even with the troops here. Said one of the strikers to me today: “We intend to stay out until the last cow comes home if necessary and the men will not go to work even if. the country ts dotted thick with soldiers. The few men at work today will not stay working long. Why, look at it; there are no more men working in the mines today than there were yesterday, when there was not a blue coat in sight. Tomorrow there will be less.” ‘The striker was correct in his figures at any rate. Today there are about 125 men at work in all the mines, and about the same num- ber were on duty the day before. Working cn full time, the mines in this neighborhood employ over 3,000 men. These men are all out, and are scattered between here and | Lonaconing. There are also in the region a number of miners from the Pennsylvanie. and West Virginia fields, who are gener- ally looked upon as an exceedingly danger- ous element. These men work with the younger element of the miners, who are the head and front of the strike, the older men, who remember the disastrous lessons of 1882 and 1887, looking on the strike with distrust. Tr CN. eee Letter Carriers’ Pay. Representative Dunphy of New York has reported to the House from the committee on post offices his bill to increase the pay of letter carriers and the bill introduced by Representative Maguire of California to regulate the mode of removal of letter car- riers, There are now 733 carriers in the ser- vice, for whom $1 3 has been appro- priated for next year. While the commit- tee believes that the highest salary a car- rier can now obtain, $1,000, is insufficient, it thinks also that the salaries should be graded according to the size of the cities, as outlined by the bill. For seventeen’ years the carrier service has been self-sustaining, and for the next year the profits will prob- ably be $1,000,000 more than the cost of the proposed increase, which aggregates $1,- 650,000, Concerning the second bill, he says that under it it will be impossible to re- move a carrier so long as his conduct and work are satisfactory. Treasury Folks Are Wary. The Secretary of the Treasury has re- ceived from Chicago parties an offer of $1,000,000 in gold provided it is accepted as received by the holders and lawful money is deposited therefor in New York. The of- fer was declined, his offer reminds old treasury officials of another of a similar character once made by western parties and accepted. No sooner was the gold ac- cepted and the treasury notes and green- backs deposited in New York to the credit Of the parties than they turned the over to the subtreasury in New York and de- manded gold. The scheme was to save the express charges on the gold from the west to New Yerk. As soon as this fact was de- veloped, however, the scheme was fru trated.’ By the terms of today’s offer the government would have to run the risk of receiving short-weight gold. Naval Militia Allotments, Acting Secretary McAdoo has approved the annual allotment of funds to the naval militia of the states as follows: Massachu- setts, $4,2: Rhode Island, $1,085; Con- necticut, $657; New York, $5,033; North ; Pennsylvania,$2,143; Mary- ; South Carolina, $285; Califor- Illinois; $3,548; Michigan, 744. ‘The allotment is based on the numerical | strength of the militia in each state. Maj. Morrill Nominated at Topeka. Upon the reassembling last night of the republican convention at Topeka, Kans., Maj. E. N. Morrill of Hiawatha was nomi- nated for governor, amid scenes of great enthusiasm. He was nominated on the first ballot, receiving 771 votes. W. A. Johnson was nominated for a ciate judge of the supreme court by accla- mation. At 10:30 p. m. the convention adjourned until this morning. THE VOTE IN DETAIL.

It is intended to form within | the membership of the Presbyterian league of workers who, while defending no individuals, insist on the maintainance of liberty within constitutional limits in the church, The league expects to heal dif. ferences instead of dtviding the church, and make it possible for all to remain in common loyalty to the church, The text of the circular is: “The Presbyterian League of New York and vicinity deems it proper at this time to put on record the following statement of its principles: “First, The league aims to secure the con- stitutional rights of its members, as well as those of all other Presbyterians as far as its influence can reach, It holds that the Presbyterian standard of qualification for office-bearers 1s to be found in the | statements of the written constitution of | the church, as far as these conform to the infallible rule of faith and life preserved for us in the Scriptures; and that no resolu- tions, deliverances, judgments or other votes of the majority of any ecclesiastical body can form any part of this standard, until they have been, by due process, in- corporate in the written constitution. econd, The league aims to bring about, sooner or later, the reversals of burdensome and unjust action recently taken by courts ef the Presbyterian Church. “Third, The league aims at the adoption by the church of needed amendments to the book of discipline, according to the mode constitutionally provided for amend- ments. “Fourth, The ieague desires to encourage all reverent study of the Bible, and all at- tempts made in the humble reliance upon the spirit of God so to restate the difficult questions of theology, and so to present the truth as it is im Jesus as to remove stumbling blocks out of the way, enrich the experience of the church and equip it for its general work of preaching the gospel to every creature. “Fifth, The league aims to secure, as soon as practicable, a better declaration of the faith of the chucch than it now possess- es, If possible, in the form of a short and simple creed, expressed, as far as may be, in scriptural language. “Sixth, The league aims at increased ef- ficiency in the practical life of the church, declaring its readiness to adapt methods of Christian work to varying needs; to em- ploy new methods where these seem called for, and to make room for diversities of gifts. It recognizes the Holy Spirit as the living teacher of the church and looks to Him directly for guidance. It expresses its readiness to co-operate with all who labor to reclaim the lost, to meet physical needs, to solve social problems and to build up Christian-like character. “Seventh, The league longs and prays for the unity of the Church of Christ on the earth; deplores the present wasteful divi- sions and declares its sympathy with all those who are honestly and earnestly seek- ing to heal these divisions, and to realize the Savior’s prayer, ‘that they all may be one.’ The names attached to this circular are Rev.

Mr. Harris Takes the Chances on Holding a Quorum and is Left— Several Breezy Episodes. paiancni Senator Harris, in the language of a cer- tain innocent game that is played with fifty-two bits of pasteboard, made a bad bluff in the Senate yesterday afternoon and when he showed down his hand It held only an ace high, to continue the pictur- | esque vernacular of the green table. The Senate had done a good deal of talking during the day about live stock, and had made little or no progress upon the tariff bill other than the exhaustion of the talking material of the republicans. Canadian horses had proved to be the most irritating kind of topic, and it fanned the flame of parti- san feeling for several hours. Mr. Harris was not in the best of humor. In the first place, the delay irritated him, as delays on | the tariff bill always do, and then his sensi- | bilities had received a shock during the | afternoon that was not calculated to restore his equanimity. Two republican amendments to the live | stock paragraph had been rejected, and Mr. Pettigrew had offered an amendment to the | bread stuffs item, which was ruled out by | the chair under the agreement that the | committee amendments should first be con- sidered. Mr. Harris was out of the cham- ber when this happened. When he returned |a@ little later Mr. Platt had occupied the flcor for some time, and at last Mr. Harris lost his patience and moved to table the pending amendment, under the impression that it had come from a member of the op- position. It was Mr. Aldrich who called at- tention to the fact that Mr. Harris was try- Ing to table the proposition of his own side, | and the chair supported the Rhode Island | leader in this contention. When the situa- tion was explained to Mr. Harris he with- |drew his motion with more or less grace, but the episode left his stock of good na- ture considerably reduced. The debate drib- bled along on the bread stuffs paragraph until, shortly before 7 o'clock, Mr. Peffer | announced that he desired to “submit some thoughts to the Senate upon this schedule,” and he would like to take a little time, “say twenty or thirty minutes.” Mr. Hoar’s Unkind Question. “I shall not exceed thirty minutes,” he went on, “and I want to do this carefully, because I regard the subject as one of very | great importance; but I do not wish to de- tain the Senate tonight, unless Senators wish to remain. It is now nearly 7 o'clock, but I shell proceed if that be the desire of the Senate.” This was asking too much of the venera- ble Tennesseean. In his firmest tones he said: “This is the sixty-fourth day that this bill has been under consideration by the Senate, and we are on page 43. Proceeding j at the same ratio of progression, I think we all get this bill out of committee of the whole about Christmas come a year. I de- sire to oblige the Senator from sas and every other Senator, and myself as well; but I had hoped that both sides of the Sen- ate would consent to stay here until 7 or 8 o'clock, not an unreasonabie hour, and try to make some progress today.” Mr Hale called attention to the hour, and | Mr. Harris, after answering him, said I | Want to be amiable, and { intend to be | so— “When?” suddenly asked Mr. Hoar, inter- rupting. “Now, and always hereafter,” responded Mr: Harris, “but it costs me an effort under existing circumstances. Mr. Alérich and Mr. Hale suggested that ment than by a continuous session and Mr. Aldrich was inclined to complain that Mr. Harris hed not consulted him about the hours. “Had the Senator called upon me earlier in the day,” Mr. Aldrich continued, “I should perhaps have been willing to have consulted. with him.” “Mr. President, it is about the same dis- tance {70m the Senator's seat to mine that it is from mine tc his.” Mr. Harris made | this familiar proposition with the utmost gravity, yet the Senate yelled with laugh- ter. He continued, “I should have been glad to receive a visit from him.” Mr. Aldrich’s Point. Both sides were somewhat irritated and Mr. Aldrich, sceing that Mr. Harris was ob- durate, moved an executive session. This stirred the ire of the democratic manager | to its depths and it was then he made his unsuccessful bluff. “I am sorry the Sena- tor has taken that course,” he said, do not propose to resort to any arbitrary meth- ods; I want to conform to the wishes of the Senate; but if the Senator from Rhode Island proposes to take charge of the bus.- ness of the Senate we shall see whether he will coatrol it or not.” Mr. Gray, who was in the chair, ‘stopped | the debate an.l was putting the question, | when Mr. Aldrich made ‘his proposition: He would withdraw the motion until 7 o'clock, but at 7 o'clock, uniess Mr. Harris | made the motion or moved to adjourn, he should renew it. “I consent to do nothing under threat,” retorted Mr, Harris, whereupon Mr. Ald- rich renewed his motion. “Very weil, let the Senator make the mo- tion if he chooses,” w: Mr. Harris’ sar- castic response, and the roll was then call: jed. The republicans generally refrained from voting, and the result was yeas, 4; 36; three less than a quorum. The four yeas were cust by Senators Dubois, | Perkins, Pettigrew and Washburn. A roll | call showed the presence of forty-six Sena- tors and the vote was again taken, result- in 2 yeas and 35 nays, 6 less than a quorum. Senators Dubois and Pettigrew this time voted in the affirmative. Mr. Harris then saw the impossibility of obtaining a voting quorum, and at 7 o'clock, upon his motion, the Senate adjourned un- til 10 this morning. Mr. Aldrich had con- trolied the business of the Senate. | PRETTY GIRL GRADUATES. The Commencement Exercises of-the McDonald-Ellis School. One of the prettiest school commence- ments of the season took place last even- | ing at the Church of Our Father, corner 13th and L streets, whea eight pretty girl graduates of the McDonald-Ellis school re- ceived the diplomas which marked for them | the crowning point in their scholastic | careers. The members of the class of "#4 were seated upon the platform, which was | transformed into a perfect floral bower with | a lavish profusion of roses, lilies, smilax and everzreens. The Lord’s Prayer solemnly chanted by the school opened the exercises of the even- | ing, after which Miss Estelle Kirk ren-| ‘Ave Maria,” with) Miss Katie Waldorf re- | and the school sang “My in chorus.

The gallery of the Art Students’ League, on 17th street, was the scene of a brilliant gathering this afternoon, the occasion be- ing the first public exhibition of Mr. Hovoden’s painting, “Jerusalem, the Gold- en.” The lights and accessories have been i caught a reflection of the radiance giory of the other world. Crouched close beside her chair is band or lover, wh en face and attitude emphasizes and out still more clearly the ethereal bea the central figure. Dimly seen in a remote portion of room is @ girl, seated before an organ, while looking at the picture one can almost hear the soft strains of music and the fa- miliar words which formed the artist's im spiration: “I know not, oh! I know not What joys await me there; What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare.” The painting will be on view unt! @ o'clock Saturday afternoon, under the pat- ronage of Mrs. Calvin 8. Brice, Mrs. James Carr, Mrs. Rudolph Kauffmann, Miss Ken- nedy, Mrs. Herbert Owen, Mrs. Borden Carter aad Mrs. Thomas Wilson, for the purpose of establishing a free kindergarten d training school in Jackson alley. Be- . sides this worthy charity, the exhibition serves another purpore, that of placing be- fore the public a picture which, it has been predicted by critics and connoisseurs, will before long be regarded as one of the mas- terpieces of modern art. —__—_— CENTRAL PACIFICS DEBT. Sixty Million Dollars Claimed by the United Statex Government. The question of the liquidation of the debt due to the government by the Central Pacific Railroad Company is receiving the close attention of the Department of Jus- tice. Under the laws of the state df Cali- fornia each individual holder of stock is made Mable for the debt of the company contracted while he was a stockholder, pro- portionately to the amount of his stock. Originally the entire issue of the Central Pacific stock, it is said, belonged to the — ~. —— Stanford and Hunting- on syndicate, though hot perhaps .stand- ing in their names, and notwithstanding the fact that no part of the debt is due yet in order that the claim might not be by the statute of limitations of the state of California, the Attorney General, about ten days ago, instructed the United States at- torncy at San Francisco to formally pre- sent to the executive of the estate the gov- ernment’s claim for $15,000,000. This js one-fourth of the amount of the whole debt of $90,000,000, which will mature at different dates between January 16, 1895, and January 1, 1899. During the last | few years Crocker and Hopkins have died and ‘their estates have been settled, thi rendering it doubtful how far their vidual estates can now be made lable. It is assumed that Mrs. Stanford, as the « executrix of the Senator's estate, will ne- fuse to pay the claim, and without some congressional action, by which the claim of the government is otherwise of, action will, no doubt, be instituted at the proper time in the United States courts to recover. Action against Mr. Hunting- ton, of course, cannot be begun until de- —_ in the payment of the debt has been made. AN . HY AT McKEESPORT. A Reign of Terror in the Little Penn- sylvania Town. The situation in McKeesport, Pa., grows more serious hour by hour, says a Pitts- burg special sent early this morning. The town is in a state of absolute anarchy and the citizens are terrorized. Late last night the mob of strikers out of pure wantonness loaded up their cannon and startled the town by firing it off. They threatened when spoken to to turn the can- nor on the mill and the town were they so minded. On the report that a number of deputies were at Glassport, 500 strikers started. out to give them battle. Last night threats were made against the lives of General Manager Converse and his assistant, Horace Crosby. The strikers also threatened to burn down their country residences, near McKeesport. All this has added to the terrors that the doings of the day created and things in the city are im an indescribable and pitiable condition. ‘The sheriff, claiming that he has not been asked to interfere at McKeesport, is doing nothing as far as is known. Strikers ter- rorized the town and the adjoining country all day. A meeteng of McKeesport citizens last night was a fizzle. The citizens were afraid of the strikers. The latter have become s® emboldened by their unchecked career duf+ ing the past forty-eight hours that almost anything may be expected from them, and it looks as if troops alone could restore peace. Yesterday the strikers, in pure wanton- ness, attacked proverty all through the Monongahela valley. They are growing bolder every hour and unless something is done quickly the reilroad riots are more than likely to be repeated. Aside from McKeesport things point to a record of blood in Allegheny county, Pa,, before many hours. The western, Pennsyi- vania mine operators have begun their at- tempt to break the miners’ strike by the introduction of new men and deputy sheriffs at one mine in Allegheny county. The oper- ators will maintain the stand for war to the finish. Miners from all parts of the county are marching on the mines of t Youghiogheny Gas Coal Company near Mom- ongahela City and a battle is expected. 0+ BARONETCIES IN ENGLAND. English, Irish a Scotch Titles Cost From 85,000 to 815,000, From the Westminster Gazette. Mr. Ferguson, the chancellor of the @io- cese of Carlisle, who (writes a correspond- ent) endeavored unsuccessfully to prove that Sir Wilfrid Lawson's baronetcy, whose creation he attributed to the seventeenth, instead of the nineteenth century, was pur- chased with money, Seems to be unaware that all the eld baronetcies were literally bought with gold. Baronetcies were instituted by James I, in 1611, avowedly for the defense of the Ulster Plantation, but really to replenish the king’s exchequer, and were bestowed by letters patent, and on each patent a sum exceeding {1,000 was exacted. In 1619 an Irish Order of Baronets was instituted, the fees, likewise over £1,000, on these patents going to the Irish exchequer. Then Charles I instituted a Scotch Order of Baronets, for whose patents the sum payable was £2,000, After ell, these “honors” did not mak their holders hereditary legislators, and were accordingly comparatively harmless. Mr. Ponsonby, in the Irish house of com- mons, stated that he knew and could prove that peerages were obtained from the gov- | ernment by money, and that the money by which these p rages were bought was ex- | pended in the corruption of members of the Irish house of commons. “Giv mittee,” said Mr. Ponsonby, not prove my charge, let me be no longer regarded as an honorable man.” The committee was not, of course, given, but Mr. Ponsonby, who made this charge, became lord chancellor of Ireland, and af- ter the union led the liberal party in the Englisn house of commons from 1806 until his death, in 18» It is somewhat curious that the holders of the peerages, three in number—Clorcurry, Kilmaine and Glent- worth—who: in was thus stigmatized, voted against home rule in the house of lords last September. — Trial of Dr. Leon.
