S Emmam e m =R so cHmmemSdoaBomO ——— THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, MON ENGLAND'S GREAT SAMPSOY, @ladstone Has His Hauds on the Pillars and Will Not Yield TWIXT SCYLLA AND CHARYBDIS. Unless He Modifies the Irish Parlia- ment Bill the Scotch Will De- sert Him, While Parnell Will Abandon Himif He Does, The Irish Question Complicated. LoxDoN, April 4.—[Speeial Cablegram, |- England and Scotch opposition to home rule has heen growing moge and more prononnced all the week. When Gladstone announces next Thursday the provisions of his bill to amend the future government of Ireland, he will have to deal with three or four sets of opponents—those opposed to home rule in any form; those opposed to a separate parlia- ment; those opposed to home rule with land purchase, and those opposed to home rule without land purchase. 1t is now expected that all these heterogeneous forces will be marshalled under the joint leadership of Lords Hartington and Cham- berlain. Great efforts are making to induce Hartington to abstain from active opposition, The torles, on the other hand, profess themselves ready to fol- low the liberal leaders. Lord Salisbury re- turns to London to-morrow, and the tory plan of the campaign will then be settied. Reports agree that he favors close co-opera- tion with anti-home rule liberals. The Stan- dard publishes a strone appeal for united ac- tion and strongly deprecates any attempt of the tories to assume the responsibility for the conduct of the debate. Chamberlain will follow Gladstone and then Trevelyan. Applications for admission from strangers surpnss all precedents, the 5% mem- bers of the house disputing for 120 places, and many asking for a dozen seats for friends. The speaker, in consequence abandons his own gallery to chance ballot and seven embassies and the American legation are deprived of their usual seats, twoeach. Some of the strongest English home rulers outside the minority urge Gladstone to con- fer no powers on an Irish parliament beyond those belonging to American state legis Ia- tures, and warn him that the country will stand no more. They profess to believe T nell will accept that when convinced that a larger measute is impossible. Multiplying signs of dislike for home rule throughout England and Scotland have alarmed more than one of Gladstone's colleagues. Reports are current of dissensions in the cabinet. Lord Spencer s said 0 be dissatisfied beeause land purchase is postponed a week after home rule, but it now appears that Gladstone means hoth measures shall ultimately pro- ceed together. He prefers, however, to stand or fall on the proposal for a separate Irish parliament, and the home rule bill, therefore, is first introduced. Two other ministers ar endeavoring to Tow the scope of the mea: ure, which, it is now believed, gives the Irish parliament control over customs, taxes and volice—in short SETTING UP AN IRISII CANADA within thirty miles of the English coast. ‘This beltef, it is. which has stirred loyal lib- erals in Scotland to protest. Nothing has more startled the ministers than the declara- tion of the Scotsman that such a plan,or any- thing like it, would be ana ought to be re- jected by parliament. The Scotsman is one of Gladstone’s ablest and most devots porters in the entire kingdom. Its editor is a personal friend of Lord Roseberry, The Scotch members of the house express Similar opinions. Any considerable defec- tion among the Scoteh members would be fatal. Gladstone, therefore, says his col- leagues stand between a Scoteh seylla and an Irish charybdis. Unless he modities his project n number of Scotch members will abandon him. If he modifies it, Parnell’s American masters will not allow him to ac- ceptit, Sorapid has been the growth of Tostility that rumors abounded on Thursday that A CABINET COLLAPSE WAS IMMINENT, Gladstone totally refusing substantial con- cessions, It is remarked by his colleagues that “the old man has wot his back against the wall, and will bring everything down ‘With him sooner than yield.” They say he will not coneede to lesser men what he re fused Cham in and Trevelyan. Cham- beriain's friends say that he is working hard and silently to overthrow the government, which he has quitted. Ile or some other in- fluence has paralyzed the movements of liberal associations which were relied on to support the ministry. AGAINST A SEPABATE PARLIAME A great and enthusiastic meeting of bank- ors and merchants of the city of London, lord mayor presiding, and leading liberals and personal friends of Gladstone being present, resolved in energetic terms against soparate parliament in Dublin, TIE NEW CABINET MEMBERS, Chamberlain’s successor, Stanfield, an amiable relic of an ancient adwministra- tion, brings not an atom of strength to the winistry. Lord Dalhousie, the new scerctary for Scotland, 1s respected, popular, and capa- Dle, but it is already reported that he is hes- itating how far to follow the chief whom he idolizes, Irish members themselves take a grave view of the situation. They Scoteh opposition with a threat to def, every Scoteh bill for the next twenty years, THE EASTERN WAR BUMORS, The eastern crisis has created genuine alarm throughont western Europe, Berlin advices early in the week pointed to war, all efforts to make the Greeks hear reason hav- ing failed, Confidence has since been re- gained, Lord Rosebe ving his point. Greece now knows that war against Turkey means defiance to united Europe. Russia, if she does not take part in active mcasures, should such become necessary, will ot op- pose them, A Bireak in the Cabinet Imminent. Loxnoy, April 4—The breaking of the cabinet is imminent. Lord Kimberly, Sir William Harcourt, Childers and Mundella refuse to assent to any home rule measure giving Ireland the control of customs, and threaten to resign if such a easure be in- sisted upon by Gladstone, Morley demands » woditieation of the plans for the buying outof landlords. Gladstone, however, re- wains intlexible, and will maintain his full scheme intact, Cabinet councils are to be held on Mon nd Tuesday, and the climax will be reached on Tuesday.” The ministers themselves admit that an agreement scens fmprobable, Gladstone may make his state- ment on Thursday without " the approval of the ministry. Glaastone 1t Loxpox, April 4.—Gladstone’s volce is again causing him some anxiety and he has gona to the country to spend two or three days for the purpose of recuperating, His physicians have impressed upon Lim that he mist reserve his energies it he wishes to speak in the house of commons on Thursday ) his anxiously expected statement regarding the government of Ireland is to be made.

BenrriN, April 4.—Prince Bismarck has had several conferences during the past few days with Baron Sehlooscer, Prussian rep- resentative at the vatican, and Von Gossler, at which subjects at issue between Prussia and the vatican were disoussed at leneth, So far, however, no promise has been given of the establishment of amolus vivandi with the euria. The National Zeitungs de- clares that the curia is playing a double part, ys that Dr. Kopp, bishop of Falda, was charged to seeure certain concessions from the Prussian government, and that after thiese had been granted the vatican refu to acknowledge Dr. Kopp's authority, while Canon Reueh, of Treves, was charzed with the presentafion of further demands, which it is inpossible for Prussia to concede. 1t is reported that Prince Bismarek has de- eided to withdraw the aoncessic been made already unless the the provision that the government shall have the veto power over all appointments m: by the vatican. Dr. Kopp hag sent an ulti- matum to Prinee Bismarck to the effect that the ehurch cannot eonsider the May laws as really amended if the government insists upon the veto proviso. Germans Deny the Charge. BerLiy, April 4.—~The North German Gazette ridicules the statement made in French and Belgian newspapers to the effect that German agents Incited the Belgian riots.

DAY, APRIL 5, 1856 W METAOD OF LOBBYING, Enterprising Towa Towns Furnish Mineral Water and Buttermilk to Legislators, AFTER THE SOLDIERS' HOME. The Location Yet Undecided, the Bal- loting Being Ineffectual—Hesie tating Over Brown's Im= peachment, A Long and Uscless Session. DEs Moings, April 4.—[Special.|~The hardest and most tedious work of the whole session has been the final contest for the soldiers’ home. For weeks delegations for aspiring localities have hung about the capi- tol blockading the corridors, lumbering up the lTobbies with their exhibits and making themselves a sort of general nuisance. The rotunda has looked like a section from a world’s fair. A number of the towns that were most aetively enzaged in the contest haye brought in exhibits of their wares, their building material, their mineral products, and views of their public and private build- ings. Each town has had its little space filed high with bricks, marble, stone, and in one instance, canned goods, while pictures, nic toes and inscriptions greet the visitors at every hand. At the end of one corndor Col- fax mineral water hasheen placed on dranght free to all as an advertisement of that town. Indianola, not to be outdone, sent up a ba rel of buttermilk which was also freely dis- pensed to a thrsty crowd. Marshalltown began to think that something must bs done, and so sent to the eloak room of the senate & liberal assortment of bottles labelled mineral water, thoueh this was the first intimation that mineral springs were found at that en- terprising point. So the fight has been waged for several weeks, and all day yester- day and Friday the battle of the ballots was keptup. Starting in with twenty-two towns unearly fity were voted for without receiving achoice, The lesislature met in the house chamber, and ieir 5 were ealled the members. ked up and deposited their ballots in a hat. The president announeed the result, as wsual “no ehoice,” and the monotonous procecdings were repeated. While compli- mentary notes were distributed all around the state giving nearly every town a boom once or twice, it was soon apparent that the steady fighting was to be between Burling- ton, Marshalltown and Colfax, Each place held about somuch strength that stayed whatever others did, In this varving way the balloting was kept up till 6 o'clock last night and then was resumed at 7:45p. m. “The prineipal votes east werc as follows: Thirty-first ballot votes, 120, necessary to choice 61— Burlington 24, Colfax 23, Marshall- town 20, Thirty second, 122 choice 62— Burlington 40, Marshalltown “Thirty-third, 134 votes—Burlington 22, Col- X 14, Jefferson 43, Marshalltown 26, Thirty-fourth, 12t votes, necessary to choice 63—Barlington 17, Cedar Rapids 59, Marshalltown 16, ‘Ihirty-fifth, 126 votes, necessary to choice 64—Burlington 43, Colfax 15, Marshalltown 2, Des Moines 26, ‘Thirty-sixth, 134 votes—Burlington 19, Colfax 16, Marshalltown 52.

The republicans realiz that the situation is one of great responsi- bility andimportance. The democrats are holding back waiting for the republicans to lead off, 50 they can_see which course will bemost to their political advantage. They are for or against impeachment as it will prove best for the democratic party, The showing made by the investigating commit- tee is s0 strong in s proof of Brown’s guilt thal impeachment seems the only thing adequate to the case, but to impeach would take a vote of two-thirds of the senate, which means all the republicans and some of the democrats. Can such a vote bo secured is what every one would like to know. It will also necessitate a special ses sion of the legislature at an expense of near- 1y $1,000 a day, which will be very expensive before the work is completed, so that it is not strange that the leading members of the legislature are disposed to take time to con- sider what s best to be done. PENSION AGENT RICI'S SUCCESSOR, ood deal of speeulation who will suceced Hon, Jacob Rich as Uni States pension agent for lowa and Nebraska, Although one of the strongest and most active republican managers of the republican party in lowa, he has performed his oflicial duties with such fidelity and unusual ability that the president has not dared to remove him or ask him for his resignation. He re- ns now solely on account of il health, having suffered frow failing eye- sight for nearly a year and just atpresent is prostrated with sickness from too strict confinement to his office. ‘The man who secms most likely to succeed him is Colonel N, A, Mervlll of Clinton. He has a gallant war record, is a banker of fine business qualitications and s thoroughly respected and Lonored for his personal in- tegrity and private worth, His nomination would be more satisfactory to the people of the state than any other democrat who could be named. FLOWERS WILL BLOOM FIRST, Yesterday was the day first fix legislature for adjournment, but the end now is not so near, A Sub-commitice of the Hayes investizating committee is out taking testi mony, and it will be some time before a report is made. There is considerable gen- eral jegislation to be closed up yet, saying nothing about the Brown matter, 3o that it is quite likely that the members of ' the twenty- first geucral assembly will sl be on haid when the tlowers bloom n the spring, - The Weekly Bank Clearings.

In_advocating the passy, of the resolutions, N J. Burnham said that | Col. Smiythe had been a member of the 13 years. In Sopten ber, 1873, in Owaha, 1 carte awyer was well known, and no rehearsal of his many virtues was necessary, nee that date,” continued Mr. Burnham, “fourteen members of this bar have passed toanother workd. Among them were Judgoe Townsend, who wis the county judge; following closely after- wurds was the brilliant Buckingham, our strict attorne, A. Strickland, not only known as an cloquent lawyer, bit as a distinguished politician; © then . a stranger, Mr, Darrow, followed by Mr. Meredith, Senator Hiteheock and W. B, Smith, whose lnmentable death oceurred in the halls of the United States court house; then following him, A. L. Robin- son, who died in Wyoming. Judge Clin- ton Brigrs came next; and then Wil inm McClellan, Judg Chadwic and Mr. Quinn. The last was Col. Smythe.” On all these oceasions though 1 feel deeply the inroads of death T did not feel competent to pro- nounce any culogy. Iwill say nothing about Colonel Smythe that 1s oy wrought or fulsome flattery. 1 knew his ool qualities as well as any member of thisbar. I believe these resolutions ean be fully and_heartil, lopted. We all_remember his courtesy, kindlines and the genial treatment” accorded by him. - Whatever he said could be strictly relied upon. He never went back upon Lis promuse to apposing counsel. This is a virtue worthy of being followed by those who remain béhind im.” Mr. Burnham then went on to speak of the wonderful ebanges in the state, and said that since 1873 the members of the bar had quadrupled in number, there be- ing at present 145 names on the rolls. He sad that he might ¢dntinue and speak of the great natyral powers of Colonel Smythe, his eloquence._and untiring en- ergy and versatility, — but he woild_leave that to ~other speak- ers. He was’ a “man of remarkable ability and rémarkable heart. “My wish,” concluded My, Burnham, “‘is that when I die the members of this bar can honestly und truly say as much good of me as [ can’ 'truthful say of. Mr. Sinythe.” G. W: Ambrose secconded the adoption of the resolution. He spoke of the past history of the bar and comment- ed upon tl ct that most of the old members with whom he had been acquainted were alive. Colonel Smythe's death brought up a train of eireum- stances. “No more genial kindly gen- tleman,” said he, “than Colonel Smythe has ever entered the court room T?x was no man whose word could be more fully relied upon. He was not perhaps a great book lawyer, but he had that in- tuitive sense which is essential to suceess. He had a place in all our hearts and all our minds. T cannot believe he is dead After all, what is life but a series of prc ludes to that unknown song whose initial solemn note is tolled by death? The en- chanted dawn of song life is love, but where is the destiny on whose first de- licious joys some Storm breaks not— some storm whose deadly blasts disperses routh’s illusions, whose fatal bolt con- umes its altar? After a while—a busy brain Will rest from all its care and pain, After a while—eartl’s rush will cease, And a wearied heart find sweet release, After a while—a An empty seat, ished face, vaeant place. After a whil name forgot, A crumbling headstone—unknown spot, C. A, Baldwin paid a touching tribute to the memory of the deceased Inwyer in his usual eloguent manner.

In demcanor he was at all times a gentle- man. He said that he had never heard him speak a disrespeetful or unkind word of any man J. . Moriarity spoke feelingly of his short aequaintance with Colonel” Smythe and of the many acts of kindness™ re ceived at his hands. Mr. Moriariy spoke in low, measured tones and was listened to with great attention, Distriet Attor. ney Estelle said that Colonel Smythe's charactor could be best summed up in | the words of his wife who pathetically | eried after his death, *Oh,af he had eve) spoken an unkind word to me I could bear ithetier.” Is not that the testimony of every member of this bar?

She was also surprised to see the growth ot the city, not only in the way of popu- lation but e, fine buildings. Mrs Hendricks has been in the city before, but states she was never so highly pleased as thistime. s Hendricks is of rather stout build, medium height, pleasant face, and on being introduced to a person is not con- ventional but gives a hearty hand-shake asthough she realy was pleased to meet you. She is exceedingly pleasant spoken and an excellent “conversationalist In fact, the Indy is just such an one asa person could énsily picture us the life long and lozing help-meet of such a grand old hero as the late Thomas A, endricks. The Boston Ideals Conclude a Most ccessful Enga The Boston Id In looking over their engagement one is forced to the conclusion that their performances have been the most satis- factory of any ever given in Omaha this season. Their operas were bright, spark ling and pieasing and alone were sufli- cient to entirely eaptivate the audience. Satur fternoon, *“The Musketeers,” one of the finest of light operas was pro duced, and in the evening “Adina” was given to the delectation of a Targe crowd, Their engagement in Omaha has been thoroughly enjoyed The Boston ldeals have never displayed their perfections to greater advantage than during their present engagem Do Lussan's voice und naive acting simply superb, while Huntington and Stone sustained their well deserved repu- tation. The male voices in the company are too well known 1o need any comment Suftice it to say that on the whole the company has gréatly improved since its reorganization. They probably drew the most. appreciative audience which cver nbled in the Boyd, The auditors ritical and at the same time enthusiastic, thus adding greatly to the success of the performances. Will The Women Vote On Tuesday? To Tue Evrtor: Avropos to an ur- gent editorial in the B of the 20th, ad- vocating the importance of electing proper school directors next Tuesday, it seoms fitting to call the attention of “the mothers of our children to their duty in this matter., Women paying taxes on real estate or personal property or hay- ing children of school age are entitled to vote for school directors. Many women do not fully understand the law and therefore many lose their sufirage from carelessness, The taxes paid may be simply a trifle on o sewing machine or cooking stove, but they entitle the owner to a vote ry woman in our eity in the least interested in our public schools should manifest it by her presence at the polls. The Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union should lead in this reform, especially as they have a momentous ex periment to sustaiin—the teaching of the evil influence of liguor and tobacco in the schools. This law 0 be a success must have the support of temperance people, and temperance voters must clect men pledged to “its strict enforcement When' eandidates realize that the mothers will use their power of suffrage for teampernnce there will be temperance candidates. Woman suflr sts nd gone, should turn out in full foree, for school suffrage is the entering wedgo making possible full suffrage in the noar futare, Omaha should certainly not be o far behind the smaller cities of the state in this matter, We know on reliable authority that the election of school boards throughout ska brings forth large numbers of Iadies as voters, and in mauy of the towns ladies are on the school board Surely the welfare of our public schools demands the best talent which our city affords, and every elector should do the utmost in the interests of our children. The W. C, T. U. have suggested as nomi- nees Rev. W. E. Copeland and Mrs Orpha C. Dinsmoor, and as their selection com prises two_of the best and most pro- gressive educators in our midst it is hoped the voters of Omaha will ratify the nomination. May the mothers give special attention to the election for the childrens’ sake M G.C.E. - SUICIDED WHILE CRAZY, A Patient in the Conuty Hospital Jumps Into the Well, Frank Maxwell (or Maxell) some fow days ago applied and was admitted to the county hospital, sufforing from fever. This morning at about 12:30 he eseaped, it is supe posed during a fit of tomporary insanity brought on by sickness, and the police were notified. Two hours later he was discovered in the well, which is very doep, but has only three feet of water He was in sort of a sitting position, his head and shoulders being entirely out of water, and dead. The coroner was notified, but it being so near day- light, he decided that it was best to await that time before removing the body. Nothing is known of the man other than the fact that he was in destitute circum- stances and so ill that he could not tell his name in an intelligible manner. Sharp Trickery. In Morrison’s gambling saloon, a night or two ago, a fellow named Warner, who has been loafing around the room for two or three nights, came in late in the even ing and commenced betting $10 a_time, the limit, atone of the roulette wheels, and made al bets, s on the red, winning at every play. The man at the wheel thought it curious that he could win on the same color successively, and wanted him to go to another table and play. Warner, however, did not take theliint, although stopping play for a short time. Meanwhile, one of the pro prietors of the house had been called to the wheel and spoken to about the ter, but nt away again, rner soon came ba and won $200 at $10 bets. In playing he would not take chips, but every time he won he demanded the money, making a cash play throughout. About the time he had won thismoney, the attention of the sume partner w. n called to the wheel, whereupon Warner and two or three of his comrades immediately skipped and went over to Council Blufts, An examination of the wheel showed that the black cavities had been filled with black Jeather in some manner, mak- ing the bull fall into the red places eyery time, and was a “‘sure thing'’ for that color to win. This is the second time in the history of Omaha gambling that * o of the roulette Wheel has been suc illy complished. The first occurred some Jears a0 in the gambling house of the ate Dan Allen, ‘when Tom Green and “Long Tom,” wWho had been “busted’ for some time, broke into Allen’s room between daylight and 6 a. m. and doctored the wheel, and the next evening made a play, winning some $160 before their trickcry was discovered.

Crrcaco, April 8.—[Special Telegram.]= Wheat again to-day evinced that leaden tene dency which the Bre's specials have for & month past been insisting upon as the only possible outcome to the facts and the attitude of the great speculators who have the power to swing this market.

Tmmediately after the close the price of May dropped to 80ie, and later onthe curb was freely offered at B0%c, with tew buyers at that tigure. Advices are general that snow is falling quite heavily over the winter wheat belt. The best estiniates on the next statement of the visible supply makes 1t less than 500,000 bushols decrease, Unless they spring a “war” on the bears before Monday, there should be a weak and lower market then.

Estimated r ceipts for Monday are thirty cars. Note that to-day the receipts at Minneapolis and Du- Luth were 164,000 bushels, Corn was weaker a shade, and closed heavy at i8!¢e for May.
