" FROM ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, ¢ Disoussion of Home Rule Continnes with Unabated Vigor in Great Britain, MORLEY'S TELLING ADDRESS. Probabilities That the Measure Will Pass its Second Reading—The Movement in Scotland—Pro- posed New Waterway. Progress of Home Rule, LoxpoN, May 2.—[Special Telegram.]— The important speech of John Morley at Glasgow is discussed everywhere with inter- est, and has greatly changed the tone of opin- fon as to the amount of support which Glad- stone will receive on the second reading of the home rule bill. There is no longer any doubt that the cabinet has been brought to unity in support of the measure, Further than this, Morley’s distyict announcement that the government has consented to re- gard the retention of Irish members at West- minster as an open question removes one of the prineipal grounds of opposition to the home rule bill as originally introduced. Morley’s acceptance of the view of the majority of his colleagues in the cabinet almost insures a small majority for the sec- ond reading of the bill. It will be, in fact, a declaration that the measure is simply the ground work of some home rule plan to be determined upon by the house after a full discussion, and that nothing except the prin- ciple of home rule is to be insisted upon by Gladstone, ‘Whether the usual course in regard to the government measure will result in the formu- lation and adoption of a *‘workable meas- (to use Gladstone’s favorite phrase), or whether, on the contrary, it will causecthe measure to fallza victim to factious amend- ment, remains a dubious ques- tion. The chief difficulty at present discernable, now that Qfthe cabinet is willing to retain the Irish delega- tion in the imperial parliament, lies in the probability that the Parnellites will, on being allowed their present membership, demand a full voting strength. 1In the end, however, they will probably waive this point and sup: port Gladstone in whatever proposals may be made to them concerniug the details of” ar- rangement. ‘The discussion of the home rule bill has proceeded during the week with unabated vigor. _Sir James Stephen, ina long letter to the Times, makes it nlil)(:flr that Glad- stone’s bill would reduce the supremacy of the imperial parliament to a mere idle name and would confer upon the parties who for years have expressed bitter hatred of the Bm?yh'u power to convert Ireland into a hostile Independent nation. The Spectator declares that the Lrish question is causing a_split in the liberal party lllmll social lines, "T'he mid- s of [iberals have declared, with r markable unanimity, against home rule. The Spectator savs that the passaze of the bill will have thé mischievous result of dividing the working class from the educated class among the liberals, The movement is assuming definite shape at Edinburgh for the formation of Scotch liome rule associations, with the object of helping to secure for Ireland always the same views in the imperial parl now, and also to promote the sch B sitting in Scotland, for § s, h control of " Scotch cution, the government to be responsible to the crown, The strength of this movement explains many apparent incon- sistencies in the recent Scotch treatment of the Irish home-rule question, TIE PROPOSED NEW WATERWAY, Paris advices state that the government has appointed commissioners, including eminent engineers and representatives of the com- mercial and shipping interests of the coun- try, 1o report as to the practicability or the proposed canal between the Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean sea. The newspapers devote a good deal of space to_articles point- ing out the advantages of such a new water route, and especially in the opportunity it would give for transferring naval vessels from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean without the p: e of Gibraltar, e THE WEERK IN WALL STREET. Labor Agitations Control the Market Entirely. NEw Yonrg, May 2.—[Special Telegram. |— ‘Wall street speculation during the past we 1as been subject to one controlling influence ~—the present and prospective condition of labor troubles. The extreme dullness of the preceding week continued to be one of the most prominent teatures of business until Wednesday, when there was a moderate show of improvement, which has since de- veloped into somewhat less than usual activ- ity in what is considered to be an active mar- ket. For a month past the air been full of fumors that a 1 strike among la- tments of industry was to take place. Asthe time of the pro- spective trouble approached the disposition to await developments increased, and hence the extreme inactivity of the stock market for sometime past. The street finally be- came fmbued with the idea that serious trouble was inevitable, and hence the dis- position to sell stocks became irresistable. There is only one way of. accounting for the 7, swall declines that have taken place, when ¢ At has received its full amount of considera- | tion, Thatis, thatthe bulk of the stocks dealt in on the stock exchange are sold so closely by wealthy parties that only a note- » worthy change either in the market or in the real value can induce them to dispose of their holdings, With stocks distributed widely in the hands of Wall street op- Duérators, any such Dbear sentiment as prevailed for the past ten days would, of necessity, result ina_break which would fall little, if any, short of a local panie, The facts are however, that while prices have ylelded, 1t has been so slowly that from day to day the declines have been for small fractions, and these declines have been due in a great measure, to shortage by rominent bears, who embreced the oppor- unity to spread as much doubt and destrust .in the minds of speculators as possible, In fact they have not had ut any time in the past elve months anything to compare with the amount of genuine bear argument that has been furnished within the past two or three weeks, It is hinpossible, of course to know the amount of the short ac- count at any time, but it s unquestionably much larger than it has been at any previous date this year. That the bears have not suc- ceeded lis boen due, as_stated, solely to the :‘m‘uus holding the bulk of the stocks and the further fact that those parties have falth in the future. The latest news received W“m" the troubles in the southwest are far more favorable fil‘*n they have been for many months vast The ontlook in this city :‘nd vieinity is also encouraging, and after he first burst of discontent has subsided, it 1s . confidently believed by many an adjustment © ol affairs "between laborers and employers, in all probability may be established.

Conservative capitalists an ing finanelal men in Wall street general- ly do not hesitate to express the opinion that general business of all kinds is better at pres- ent than since 1831, and that the conflict now going on between employers and labor is the unl{ one which prevents a much more declded Improvement in nearly all grades of industry, without any boom which nobod; but Wall'street speculators want, There is Do chauge in the general eondition of the money warket, most of the loans through the woek being made at ¢ ver cent, withs exceptional loans at 1}¢@4 per cent. el The largest line ot 1. . of O.

Oardinal Gibbon Says Catholics Do Not Oppose the K. of L. May 2.—[Speclal Tele- .]—The condemnation of the Knights of Labor by Archbishop Tascherau, of Quebee, has aroused widespread interest in regard to the attitude of the church towards the labor organization. 1In order to secure an authori- tive statement on the subject, the Be cor- respondent called on Cardinal Gibbons, who is in the city looking after legal matters con- nectad with the cathedral university pro- jected by the plenary council. The cardinal wave his views freely, as he desired to remove some of the false impressions which hay lately gained circul He said, n 1 As to_the Knigh bor organize in the United State not_thoroughly examined the constitution or studied their PUEpOSe: From reading newspap: and_ Mr. Powderly's public statements, Iinfer that the object of the Knights of La- bor are praiseworthy, and in no way opposed to the views of the church, Catholic prelates will to a man declare in favor of the Knights of Labor. There can be no wrong in- such a course. Organization is the basis of all progress—political, sociai and religious. Only when it is abused does the churcli raise her voice and eall out her ehildren. The church has been greatly misrepresented on this point, and I would like you to state clearly its posi- tion, We hold thiat if a man joins ‘a society, reveal its work- ing, no matter how criminal, and to ' obey the dictates of its officers blindly, "he surely surrenders his personal liberty, becomes the slave to his fellow men and cannot partake of the sacramentof the church. Suchan oath Is taken by prevalent secret socicties, lence their condemnation by the clergy. On the other hand, if a man joins an organization swearing to keep Becret its workings “with the proviso that nothing therein shall be contrary to the laws of the iand, to his conscience and religious creed, we hold that his act is porfectly justi- fiable. If the orders, oaths nmllmnm«- are in accordance with Mr. Powderly's state- ments, then the church says to the knights: “God ' speed yow” If, howeyer, an absolutely blind pledge is taken, no matter how Iaudable the objects, our church can never countenance It, and will call on her children to withdraw' under pain of ex- communication. Don’t understand me as criticising Archbishop Tascherau. He is the vrincipal of the ehureh in Canada, and would not have taken such decisive action without a conviction that the local knights had some- thing in their laws, or pursued some method, that were against church doctrines, COMING TO OMANA.

Opposing Factions in a Colored Con- gregation Wage War. Coruvmpia, 8. C, May 2.—For months the congregation of Bethel African M. E. church has been engaged in litigation over the possession of their chureh property and a fight occurred at one time while one faction was endeavoring to force an entrance. The trouble ori nally grew out of a charge of maladministration against the pastor, J. Waters, and a chureh trial resulted. The matter seeming unlikely of adjustment on account of the determined attitude and strong support of Waters, he was deposed at the last conference and R E. Wall assigned to the church, The_trustees refused to let him preach, and suit wi entered for pos- session last night. Judge Frazer made an order giving ‘Wall the church. At a late hour an effort was made to get into the building, the trustees having refused to give up the keys, and 1t was discovered that 4 party was inside for the purnose of resist- ing. The attorneys for the party seeking dimission demanded entrance, which was refused, and a threat was mide to shoot it those outside tried 10 get in, One of the door panels was then knocked out with ‘an ax, when a volley of shots were poured throuzh the opening from the inside, and shortly after another volley. John Glisson, colored, who stood at the edge of the wallk, was shot in the kne with buckshot, Christ Lee, a hackman, got a pistol ball in the abdomen, He is supposed to be fatally wounded.

Before I used thelamps I paid a monthly gas bill varying from $8 to $10 each month. Last month I paid the com- pany $1.08. This saving is due to the use of the lamps. Oil costs me only abont thirty cents per week, and I always have a lighted lawp in the parlor, hall and li- brary.
