Salisbury Spoke Against 1t—Premier Kosebery Argued for It, but Without Avail. ‘The evicted tenants’ bill was rejected by ‘he house of lords last night by a vote of 249 to 20. The debate om the second reading of the bill drew a large attendance of peers, main- iy members of the opposition. The govern- ment benches, however, began filling up as the debate progressed. The peeresses gal- lery was well filled, among the ladies pres- ent being Lady Salisbury, Lady Tenny- son, Lady Ashburton, Lady Roberts, Countess Spencer, Countess Hood and the Duchess of Manchester. > Lord Salisbury Speaks. ‘After Baron Ashbourne, Baron Herschel, the Marquis of Clanricarde and other peers spoken for and against the bill, Lord Salisbury, formerly prime minister, arose to speak in opposition to the measure, and was enthusiastically cheered. He opened his remarks by commenting m the weakness of the arguments made defense of the bill, and said that his task was thus made easy. He said that while Unjustiflably accusing the late government p? being devoid of compassion for the ten- jants who fad been evicted from their hoines “fm Ireland, Baron Herschel, the lord high chancelior, had shirked discussion of the ‘mainspring of the bill, namely, the powers ‘of the arbitrators who were forcibly impos- yon the landlords. wf up salisbury instanced the case of Ar- Ditrator Fottrell, who, he said, was an ex- golicitor of the. Land League, and a Le fessed sympathizer with the doctrines of Michael Davitt. The point of his argument Was that it was impossible for the arbitra- tors to be impartial. It-.was, he sald, the worst kind of despotism to Invest such men with the unbridled powers the bill proposed. ‘Then, he supposed, rural public opinion in the shape of shooting his was to be @mployed to induce a planter to quit farm. 4 t was useless to plead that the bill was ebtextional.

Lord Rosebery, thé premier, replied to Lord Salisbury, He. was cheered impar- Ylally from both sides of the house.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. BARNESVILLE, Md., August 15, 1894. An uneommonly lively interest has been aroused throughaqut this section of Mont- gomery county with reference to republican politics. It is a notable fact that the demo- crats seem to feel more interest in the re- publican nomination in this district than they do in the selection of a candidate of their own. Mr. John C. Motter of Fred- erick has made a canvass of this end of the county during the past few days in the in- terest of his candidacy for the republican nomination. He expressed himself as not having been prepared for the widespread sentiment he has found throughout the county in favor of a Montgomery man, and stated that wherever he went he learned of well-attended meetings in the interest of Mr. Dawson. Mr. Motter is also”reported to have admitted the superior claim of this county to rs a standard bearer for the party this fall, but held that the claim of Frederick was stronger than that of either of the other three counties. He said that if Pearre and Wellington would withdraw fro the race in favor of Mr, Dawson, Montgomery's candidate, he would at once follow suit; but so long as those gentle- men contended for the nomination he would feel justified In contesting their claims, ——_—— Army Orders, The following named officers will report in person to Lieut.

Patrick Oliver Tebeau and his team of Cleveland Spiders, augmented with “White Wings” Tebeaif and the rotund Mr. Petti late of Washington, appeared at National Park yesterday afternoon and assisted in giving one of the prettiest exhfbitions of- base ball in the history of the game, Not a run was scored until the last half of the tenth inning. Mercer and Cy Young battled against each other, and they fought hard and exrn- estly. in the tenth, however, the Washing- ton youngster weakened” visitly. McGarr was hit by the ball, George Tebeau took first on four bad ones, und then both. run- | ners advanced a base on a double stea!.

Twice Washington had meh on third, but the necessary hit was not forthcoming. Hasamaear, Abbey and Selbach made most difficult catches, anl Radford worked a very pretty double play. Ward had a thunib broken early in the game in trying to catch a man off second, and Radford took his place. Ward may not be abie to play again this season. Georze Tebeau played first base for the visitors, and Petty, minus his mustache, placed himself very much in evilence on the coach Itnes, and carried on @ rurting conversation with the bleachers, Umpire Tim Hurst, clad in a new suit of clothes, was warmiy greeted when he made his appearance on the field, He-umpired the game in his usual faultless style.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. /€4MP GILBERT THOMPSON, OCEAN CITY, Md., August 14, 1804. “Today has been rather a hard day on com- pany G,-It is miserably hot, and several of the men are suffering from a temporary affection, due to the change of drinking water, probably,and also to their swallowing too much of the sea water. This sun feels "ke “rank pizen,” too, whenever the de- lightful sea breese is obstructed by any- thing. Those on the sick list this morning aré Corporals Steward, Stevens and Lepper and Privates Coit, Lang, McMichael and Newman. Corporal Lepper, however, ts able to’attend to his duties as corporal of the guard and the others are getting along very well. The drum corps are well and are taking a great deal of interest in the work of the company. The morning drill was cmitted today, on account of so many not being able to at- tend. Quartermaster Sergeant Freeman's detail did some practice signaling with the helio- graphs this morning. ‘Tomorrow Capt. Averill wants to have the scores of the men at the rifle range sent up to the camp by heliograph. Sergeant Chandler took all the well men in camp, not busy otherwise, to the range this morning, and, with the assistance of Lieut. Holt, the butt, which was not quite finished yesterday, was completed and the target set up and some shooting was done. “But handling a spade is not good prelimi- nary exercise for rifle practice, and the scores for the most part were poor. They are as follows: Capt. Averill, 4504 4-47; 44424—-48; total, 35, Lieut, Holt, 2335 2 434 45-48; total, Sergeant John- son, 203 23-10; 4 1 7 Private Frech, 3-1 2 Capt. Averill is very m ing the crowd. Sergts. Chandler and Stev- ens acted as markers. The butt is constructed of some heavy timbers, which were fortunately near the place—the remains of a wreck of some kind with @ sand wult in front of it, ten feet through at the base. A test shot, aimed near the top from a distance of thirty yards, did not penetrate through it. The only troubie with it is ils inaccessibiliy. The butt is about a mile and a quarter from camp, and that is a great deal when the tramp has to be made through sand of any depth you want. Several of the men wanted to fall out ai the hotel after dinner today, instead of marching back to camp, and they did so without waiting for the dismissal of the company. Sergt. Chandler discovered their absence, and sent two or three of the non- commissioned officers after them, and the guard tent has been initiated into that por- tion of its duty: The men were not re- quired to stay in there long, however. Sergt. Chandler had intended to dismiss the com- pany near the hotel, but inasmuch as the bad cnes had behaved badly, he punished the good ones by marching them on back to camp. A half dozen or so of the company at- tenced the dancing at Congress Hall and the Atlantic Hotel last night. The com- pany bas been formally invited to the At- lentie tonight, and Congress Hall will give a ball in our honor tomorrow evening. A base ball game is scheduled for this afternoon between a club made up from the guests of the Atlantic Hotel and a provisional club from the camp.

Mr. Ridenour, one of the guests of Con- gress Hall, rescued a lady from the surf yestenlay, who was completely the mercy of the waves. Her name was not learned. The company and visitors have received @ great deal of pleasure from a telescope which has been loaned by Maj. J. M. Pol- lard, former inspector of rifle practice and now a member of the engineer corps. It is W. Gregory’s prize to the American rifle team, won by Maj. Pollard at Wimbleton, Eng., July 17, 183. Vessels away out on the water and the moon, in particular, have been objects of close attention, and the telescope will be used at the rifle range, if it can be done to advantage. The guani detail for today is as follows: ldeut. Ruebsam is officer of the day, Co: Lepper is corporal of the guard, and Pri- yates Pellen, Wright and White are the gard detail. Yesterday morning the regular drill was anieine with in order to allow of the ishing up of the camp. juartermaster Sergeant Freeman was given a detail to put up steps from the camp level ~ the board walk. Hereafter all entrance into or exit from the camp will be by those ste] whether of the campers of of visitors. At 11 o'clock yesterday the company was ordered out for a swim, and a picture of the company was taken by Quartermaster Sergeant Freeman while they were in their sults. sAgat 4:30 yesterday afternoon the as- sen bly for details for engineering and other work was blown and the men were distrib- uted as follows: Quartermester Sergt. Freeman took his regular detail out for practice in signaling. They are provided with fogs ahd heliographs. Sergt. Chand- ler took a detail out to lay off the rifle range. The rest of the men were ordered to report to Capt. Averill and were put at making floors and benches for the flies of the tents of Capts, Averill and Horton. —_— Elevating a Chicago Railrend, The Rock Island and Lake Shore Rail- road Companies turned the first shovelful of earth at Chicago yesterday morning in the elevation of their tracks—a work that is calculated to occupy four years, cost $1,500,- 00, and save thousands of lives.

The Commissioners are waiting for an opportunity before pro- ceeding. Col. Truesdell has been working hard, getting together the testimony. A roster of the Fat Men's Beneficial Associa- tion cf South hington has been fur- nished him. It shows that seven police officers are members of the club. Their names are Wash. Sanford, E. Hayden, William Kemp, Robert Lee, J. McKie, T. Hatten and James Fenton. It w, further learned that the club is a secret organization, and that the members are bound by oath. The fact that these policemen were con- nected with the club does not argue well for them, and there is no doubt that the Commissioners disapprove of such a thing. the Effect of Lower vator Rates, It is learned on good authority that as a result of the cut in elevator storage rates the Northern Pacific will erect at West Su- perior, Wis., a system of elevators to han- die three or four million bushels of wheat. As soon as possible appfication will be made to Judg= Jenkins to carry out the new en- terprise in time to haudle the new crop of wheat. ———- see An Actor's Suicide From Grief.
