A man came to the seventh precinct sta- tion yesterday and requested that the po- lice at once take charge of ‘his sister-in- law, Mrs. Laura Bitting, residing on the Ridge road near the Condult, saying she had developed insanity to a_vidlent degree ard was dangerous to be at large. ‘The pa- trol was accordingly sent “in charge of several officers. The women ,was found with glaring eyes and wild aspect. She had conceived the idea to Kill-her two chil- dren, a boy and a girl, and had locked them in a room preparatory, as it was later found, to committing the crime. The boy, however, had managed to escape and was found by the officers, frightened and trembling, sitting on a rock a quarter of a mife from the house. He is a little fel- low, but realized at once that his mother was deranged, and fied for his life. The mother's condition, it is claimed, is the result of her hushand’s death a fow days ago. Fear of want following did much to promote it. It is said, though, that the persistency of her husband's rela- tives in holding spiritualistic seances in the home since the death, has done much to augment her weakness. woman is a devout Catholic, conse- ly is violently opposed to these per- formances. The strong opposition offered while in a high state of nervous grief no dcubt brought on much of the mental dis- tress. There were continual rappings, exclama- tions, etc., which kept the bereaved wife unnerved constantly. It was alleged that conversations were being held with the spirit of her dead husband. Mrs. Bitting says she wants to go to heaven with her husband and wants to take her children with her. For this reason she intended to kill them. She called the seventh precinct “heaven,” and later enthused-over the first precinct when she was taken there. She will be ex- amined today by the surgeons and prob- ably sent to the asylum. Mrs. Bitting’s husband was J. P. Bitting, who was buried last Wednesday. His life had been one long struggle. The Bogus Check Man, The bogus check man, an account of whose operations was published in yester- day's Star, made his appearance, in George- town last night and made an effort to pass a check for $15 at Brace’s drug store. But the druggist had read of his conduct in other sections and he declined to accept “Charles H. Johfison’s” check on the Sec- ond National Bank. Word was sent to the police station of the man’s presence in the store, but when the police arrived the al- leged swindler had disappeared. From there he went to O’Donnell’s store, corner of 32d street, but he soon became satis- fied that he would fare no better there then he had at Brace’s, and so he boarded a cable car and disappeared. Denth of Samuel Chase. Mr. Samuel Chase, a life-long resident of this place, died yesterday afternoon at his residence, 2908 Dumbarton avenue, aftcr an illness of seven months. He was one of the best-known colored men in this section. For twenty-six ye: he was sex- ton of St. John’s Church. Mr. Chase held high places in several fraternal organiza- tions, being particularly prominent as an Odd Fellecw, having been initiated thirty years ago. Deceased leaves a wife and three children—Ida, William and Lorenzo Chase. The funeral will take place Sunday afterncon from Mt. Zion M, Ex Church. Notes.

EXCITEMENT IN COMMONS Dr. Tanner Accuses an Associate of Lying. He is Suspended and Excluded for a ‘Week—Debuting Home Rule Prospects. There was a sensational scene in the British house of commons last evening. Sir Richard Webster, conservative, moved that a certified copy of the trial and con- viction of Michael Daly, the dynamiter, who was recently elected to parliament, repre- senting Limerick, aithough he was con- victed in 188% of having been engaged in dynamite conspiracies, be furnished to the house and that the governor of Portland prison present a certificate to the effect that Daly is still a prisoner in that prison. Mr. John Redmond, Parnellite, said that he recognized in the motion the first step in proceedings aiming at overriding the unanimous election of the electors of Lim- erick, end he protested against it and in- sisted upon a division. Dr. Charles D. K. Tanner of Cork, anti- Parnellite, protested that it was unbecom- ing behavior upon the part of the gertle- men sitting near the Rt. Hon. A. J. Bal- four, first lord of the treasury and con- servative leader in the house of commons, to be “sniggering” at Mr. Redmond’s re- marks, Dr. Tanner was intensely excited, and said that before a decision in the Daly matter was arrived at he would call the attention of the house to the indecorous behavior of the gentleman who was the leader of the house and the gentleman who sits beside him. Continuing, Dr. Tanner remarked that when men stand up and do their best for a poor man who Js in peison that is no reason why the gentlemen sit- ting on the treasury benches should snig- ger and sneer in # way unbecoming of gen- tlemen or of members of the house. Dr, Tanner's remarks were interrupted by loud cries of “order.” The Daly matter was made the order of the day for Monday. The Irish Question. Mr. Redmond moved an amendment to the address inviting the government to de- clare that there would be no delay in the Irish policy. Five-sixths of the electors of Ireland had declared in favor of home rule, and he protested that the verdict of the election was not against home rule. He warned the government that Ireland could not be satisfactorily governed from West- minister, and that the only remedy for her ills was national self-government. Regarding the land legislation, he ad- mitted that the only remedy was compul- scry purchase by the tenant. Horace Plunkett, M. P. for the. south division of Dublin county, and a conserva- tive, sald he believed the time had come when, owing to the changed views of the Irish, a tory government could legislate for Ireland in a spirit of sympathy. If the government ignored the material interests of Ireland, the home rule demand would certinue, and the tories would have lost a great opportunity. John Dillon said he feared that the omin- ous silence of the government would undo the life work of Parnell, who brought the Irish people to believe that home rule could be won on the floor of that house. The re- sult of the elections entitled to assert that unionism was receding in Ireland. ‘Therefore, he moved an amendment de- claring the necessity of immediate legisla- tion on’ the land question in Ireland, in accordance with the recommendations of last year’s committee. Home Rule Opposed. Mr, Gerald Balfour,chief secretary for Ire- land, recognized Mr. Redmond’s moderate tone, but reminded him of the great differ- ence between the state of things now and in 1886. His reports showed that the harvests were good in every district of Ireland, and that there was no very heavy fall in prices in the last two years. Therefore, the land question was not urgent. He had only Leen In office for a month, and could not be expected to give an exhaustive answer to all questions, but as to the home rule attitude of the government, it would con- tinue to be one of unchanged and inflexible Cpposition. (Conservative cheers.) He was not going to discuss the result of the election. The land question could cnly be dealt with by an entirely non-conten- tious bill, and it would suffice if the bill was introduced next spring. The bill of Mr. Morley (chief secretary for Ireland in_the Rosebery government) was not non-contentious, though the gov- ernment could accept some of its provis- ions. They had always maintained that the transfer of land to the tenant was the only effective solution of the question. Before proceeding with the policy of purchase, the government would wait until the £30, 000,000 was spent. It was unfair to ask the government to declare in favor of com- pulsory purchase. They were willing to consider a reasonable proposal to deal with evicted tenants, but they would not con, sent to go beyond section thirteen of the act of 1891. The government would hold the scales evenly between the various sec- tions of the Irish people. Says Harrington Lies. Mr. Harrington, in the course of some re- marks, declared that the liberal party kad fled from home rule, whereupon Dr. Tan- ner, who had already created a scene in the house, shouted out: “‘A lie. Loud and indignant cries of “Order” were heard from both sides of the house. Dr. Tanner declining to withdraw the expres- sion, the speaker named him. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, moved that Dr. Tan- ner be suspended. A division was called fer, but Dr, Tanner failed to find a teller, and the speaker declared the motion car- ried. Dr. Tanner was thereupon requested to withdraw, but he arose and addressed the speaker amidst loud cries for order. The sergeant-at-arms walked up the fioor of the house to where Dr. Tanner stood. Dr. Tanner then quitted the house ac- companied by the sergeant-at-arms, shout- ing all the way, “Judas.” Tanner Excluded. Upon the speaker declaring the motion carried, Dr. Tanner shouted that he would withdraw if he were directed to do so from the chair. Upon retiring he made a court- ly bow and exclaimed: “I have greater pleasure in leaving than I ever had in en- tering this dirty house.” ‘Then, pointing to the treasury bench, he shoute This was repeated four times. Arriving at the door he tried to turn back, but was: prevented by the officials, his last werds being: “None of your nonsense on me.”* The house than adjourned. It was noticeable that during the ab- rence of Mr. Balfour, the government lea®- erin the house, at the moment of the Tan- ner scene, Jossph Chamberlain assumed the temporary leadership of tie house, which proscriptively belonged to Sir Mi- chael Hicks-Beach, the chancellor of the exchequer, or to Hon. George J. Goschen, first lord of the admiralty. Dr. Tanner's suspension lasts for one week, LONDON, August 16.—The Standard says that Dr. Tanner, on his own responsibility, had given notice of 200 motions to reduce the estimate. The Times says that when the division was called on Dr. Tanner's expulsion nu- merous Irish members and some of the radicals quitted the house. Dr. Tanner may use the lobby, the smoking rooms, &c. Only a third expulsion carries with it ex- clusion from the precincts of the house. ——_+e+____ Georgia Sends Millions of Pears, From the Savannah (Ga.) News, The pear crop of Georgia this year is the lergest on record. It is estimated by those ‘who are in a position to know and to judge correctly that it will exceed 300,000 barrels. ‘The bulk of the pears are Le Conte. A small proportion are of the Kieffer and Bartlett varieties. If 300,000 barrels were placed end to end they would form a line 150 miles long, reaching through the whole length of the territory where the pear is cultivated on the Savannah, Florida and Western railway. This number of 300,000 barrels is equal to 500,000 bushels, and would weigh upward of 30,000 tons. They would load seven or eight of the largest tramp steamers coming to Savannah. The bulk of this enormous pear crop has been raised in some six or seven counties. ENGLAND'S FUTURE POLICY Lord Salisbury, the Premier, Addresses the Lords. Attitude Regarding the Recent Chi- mese Outrages and the Massacres in Armenia—Rosebery Spenks. In the British house of lords yesterday afternoon Lerd Rosebery,-the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Ripon, Earl Spencer and Baron Tweedmouth were pres- ent when the Duke of Marlborough moved the address in reply to the queen's speech, approving of its contents. The duke added that he was happy Earl Cadogan was in- stalled in Dublin as lord leutenant of Ire- land, and expressed the hope that he would continue that firm policy which was car- ried out by the Rt. Hon. A. J. Balfour when the latter was chicf secretary for | Ireland. He also remarked that he trusted the government, during recess, would con- sider the question of husbandry, and make a serious attempt to relieve the distress ex- isting. When the Duke of Marlborough took his seat, the Margulis of Salisbury grasped his hand and shook it heartily. Barcn Ampthill seconded the motion and said he was confident that if foreign com- plications arose there would be a master- hand at the helm, and he was sure the gov- ernment would do justice to Ireland in re- gard to the landlords. Lord Rosebery congratulated the Duke of Marlborough and Baron Ampthill on the able manner in which they had fulfilled their task. Referring to, the queen's speech, he said that the policy adopted in regard to Bechuanaland was that of the late government, but, he asked, what meas- ures were intended respecting China, and wanted details as to how the massacres had occurred. The ex-premier also ex- pressed himself as being certain that the Marquis of Salisbury thought it as neces- sary as did the late government to obtain guarantees from the Sultan of Turkey against a recurrence of the atrocities in Armenia, which the marquis must now know officially were terrible, and could not be tolerated. He hoped the government's decision to continue to occupy Chitral was not defini- tive, as the late government, after careful consideration of the subject, had arrived at a directly opposite conclusion. Revicwing the elections just held, Lord Rosebery dwelt upon the fickleness of eiec- toral results, ard admitted that the pres- ent government was supperted by a large majority. The elections, he claimed, had shown that the creed of a lifetime cannot be put into the manifesto of a moment. ‘The ex-premler also said that though the policy of the liberals must have altered, their principles were unaltered. He was not prepared to adopt the view that the elections settled the Irish question. The schism existing among the Irish party was regretable, but that would not prove that the question of self-government for Ire- land would have to be granted. The government, Lerd Rosebery contin- ued, would be forced in time to acknowl- edge that the best means of conducting Irish business is through the Irish. “I am convinced,” he concluded, “that you will see home rule extended not only to Ireland, but possibly to Scotland, and I do not even limit the evolution there.” The Premier Replies. The Marquis of Salisbury, the prime min- ister, then arose to réply. He said: “The noble lord complains of the brevity of the queen’s speech. Where there is not much to be done it is not necessary to spend many words describing what is fo be undertaken at this session. The gov- ernment holds that the abandonment of Chitral is unwise as a question of moral as well as physical strategy. It is useless to follow Lord Rosebery through the wide ‘area of his disquisitions. I will not de- scribe our intentions in regard to the con- stitution of this house or in respect to the adoption of home rule. When *we intro- duce bills touching’ these matters it will be time enough to discuss thei.” Regarding the massacres of missionaries at Ku-Cheng, Lord Salisbury said: ‘There is every reeson to believe that the Chinese government is sincerely desirous of punishing the perpetrators of the out- rage, and those who connived it. Should any lukewarmness become discernible it will become our duty to supply its defect. With respect to Armenia we have accepted the policy which our predecessors initiated, and cur efforts,will be directed to obtain- ing an adequate guarantee for the carrying out of reform. We have received the most Icyal support from both France and Rus- sia. The permanence of the sultan'’s rule is involved in the conduct he pursues. If the.cries of misery continue the sultan must realize that Europe will become weary of appeals, and the fictitious strength which the powers have given the empire will fail it. The sultan will make a calamitous milstake if he refuses to ac- cept the advice of the European powers relative to the elections.” Lord Salisbury then compared the late appeal to the country to the appeal against Pitt 110 years ago, when then, as row, the nation emphatically declared in favor of the house of lords. “It is a defect of the constitution,” the premier concluded, “that we have no spe- celal protection in the organic laws upon which the constitution rests, and which could be destroyed in a night by the house of commons, if the house of lords was not able to uphold it. The Sultan Warned. Lord Salisbury exhorted the Sultan to re- member that his Independence is of a very special kind. It is the creature of an agree- ment, and Europe, which conferred upon Turkey a facetious stability, has long been uneasy as to the moral burden which its joint action involved. It fears that it may be upholding a mechanism which does not work for human happiness and progress, but has rather tended to perpetuate the an- tagonism of creed and race, which have so long been the curse of the Turkish prov- inces. c “How long the present state of things can continue,” the prime minister proceeded, “I confess appears to me mere doubtful than it did twenty years ago.” The advice he was tendering, he said, was the advice of a party most friendly to Turkey in a friendly nation, the neglect of which will expose his dominions to dangers which no treaties and no sympathy wiil prevent being fatal in the long run to the empire he rules. = The house of lords adopted the address in reply to the royal speech. An editorial in the London Times says that Lord Salisbury’s Armenian statement is the welghtiest and most pregnant heard in parliament for a long time. The suitan will, indeed, make a calamitous mistake, the Times adds, if he rejects or ignores this admonition. ——_—_~e-.. OUR FARM EXPORTS, A Showing That Contains Encourage- ment for the Futre. The Department of Agriculture has issued a supplement to the publications on Re- views of Foreign Markets, relating to ex- ports. Notwithstanding the depression in 1894, according to the report, the United States exported $589,843,000, against $847,- 665,194 in 1893. Three-fourths of the amount came from farms. The English-speaking people of Europe bought $451,000,000 worth of American exports, and including the British possessions they took $523,000,000 worth. The United States imported from Great Britain $107,000,000 worth in 1894, or 16 per cent of our entire imports. Almost 90 per cent of the total United States. exporis were to the united kingdom and British possessions, Germany, Canada, France, Netherlands and Belgium. Of imports, after the first place held by the united kingdom and the British possessions, follows Ger- many, with a valuation of $36,000,000; Span- ish West Indies, $82,000,000; Brezil and France, $76,000,000 each, and ‘Canada, $37,- 000,000. : —————— oo The Star Out of Town.

CROWDS AT CHAUTAUQUA The Attendance at the Summer Classes Larger Than Ever. Sports and Recreations Indulged in by the Visitors—The Program for August. cai: Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y., August 13, 1895, Over 12,000 people are at present within the grounds of the Chautauqua Lake As- sembly. Many hundreds are in the summer classes, large numbers are interested in members of their families)and friends who are this year to graduate from che C. L. 8, C. course, but by far the largest 1s the class who are present for the purpose of resting at this delightful point on the lake, and who elect to attend but a few of the nu- merous lectures, ‘This latter class has steadily grown in numbers during the past ten years, for Chautauqua has become fa- mous the country over for reasons other than its connection with the C. L. 8. C. movement. To these persons abundant means of recreation are furnished. Bicycles may be seen by the score, and a very generous percentage of the riders are ladies—but not in bloomers, A cycling academy is patronized by many who are anxious to become accomplished riders be- fore they return to their city homes, and groups of these amateurs may be frequent- ly seen on the roads running :o and from the riding school. The lake, of course, fur- nishes sport for those fond of boating and fishing. Bass are quite plentiful but a short distance from Chautauqua, and, in- deed, I am told of a pickerel caught some time ago that weighed forty pounds. At the northeast corner of the grounds Is a ball field, and the Chautauqua nine has so far been victcrious in nearly every one of its match games with clubs from nearby towns. This is the nine conducted for many seasons ty Stage, Yale's famous pitcher. In fact, the present players are principally college men spending their va- cations here. Their shirt fronts indicate that they belong to such institutions as Yale, Harvard and Amherst. The games are witnessed by hundreds, and the As- sembly Herald has remarked that the the- clogians should be sought in the after- noons at the hase ball grounds instead of at their boarding houses. Grounds are also provided for those who prefer to indulge in the lighter sports of tennis and croquet. But these means of recreation are but sec- ondary, of course, to the greater objects for which the assembly is conducted. An Attractive Cloxing Program. Heretofore the last month of the assembly has received thé greater attention, es a much larger number of people usually at- tend the closing weeks. This year, however, it has been the aim of the management to present a program in July which would be of equal interest to the attractions offered in August. Their plan was carried out as fclly as practicable, and there was yet left for August a program of glowing interest. I- included such men and subjects as the following: Dr Wm. R. Harper, president of th> University of Chicago, on “Bible Study;” Gen. John B. Gordon of Georgiz, on “The Last Days of the Confederacy:” Frank G. Carpenter, the well-known news gatheror, on his travels in the Orient, and many others on various subjects. Among them Principal A. M. Fairbairn of England, Dr. A. B. Bruce of the Free Church of Scot- lend, Prof. F. O. Atwater, Dr. J. M. Buck- ley, Mr. H. H. Ragan, Mr. John Fiske, Rev. W.'F. Crafts and Mr. Wm. McKinley. The lecture by Gen. Gordon was one of the longest of the scason. For two hours and ten mirntes he held his audience, end a score of times he was cheered to the echo. The sight of one of the greatest, 1 rot the greatest, of living war general: standing on a northern platform and talk- ing freely and honestly on the last days of a lost cause, bearing malice toward none end gcod-will toward all, was a spectacle which few can forget—which thousands will remember. Yesterday afterncon Bishop Vincent, the ‘hancellor of the assembly, lectured on ‘A Layman’s Study of Sidney Lanter.” Very warm, indeed, was the tribute paid to the memory of the lamented southern poet. Bishop Vincent outlined his life, speaking of his devotion to his art and hi: pathetic battle against the inroads of con: sumption. Life in the open eir, by waste places, the marsh, the glen, amid the fra- grance of great forests and God's green fields, was all in all to him. Said Dr. Vin- cent: “If ever a poet revealed himself and reveled in a high kingdom of thought and life, consistent, vast, filled with righteous- ness, radiant with the beauty of holiness, peopled with royal souls, full of the Divine love and wisdom, certainly Sidney Lanier is that poet. Tomorrow is Grange day, and 3,000 visit- ors are expected from the country sur- rounding. McKinley to Make a Speech. Saturday, August 24, will be Grand Army day, and on that occasion there will be a patriotic concert by the band, chorus and Lotus Glee Club, and an address by ‘Gov. McKinley of Ohfo. There are some especial favorites at Chautauqua, and Mr. McKinley is one of these. Not only will the persons staying within the grounds turn out to hear him, but the G, A. R. posts for miles arcund will attend in full force. Few men can take a chorus of 500 voices who have never before sung together and ir a few rehearsals produce, without a hitch, the oratorio “The Messiah,” yet this 1s what was done by Dr. H. R. Palmer, end the amphitheater was filled with 7,000 persons to hear the rendition. The choir is composed of all persons within the grounds who are possessed of fair voices, and is assisted on special occasions by a quartet of well-known soloists. The afternoon con- certs are participated in by Mr. Bernard Listemann, Mr. W. H. Sherwood, Miss Lin- coin, Mr. Flagier and others.

F.A.F. ——_-_ The Texas in Commission, The battleship Texas was put in commis- sion at Norfolk yesterday. The ceremony was brief and simple. The band played “Columbia” while the thirty-two marines, followed by 322 sailors, marched from the shore on board. The orders assigning Cap- tain Glass to command of the ships were then read, and the ceremony of commis- sioning her was complete. The yard force is busy loading on supplies. It will re- quire about three weeks for this work. ee: Honored by the King.
