Tho strongest anti-Glad- stone movenient observed 15 that which has developed among the Scoteli liberal associn- tions, hitherto considered the most faithful of the premier's supporters. The appeal of the Irish Presbyterians for protection against the threatened Catliolic demonstration has undoubtedly had its influence upon the Scotch mind. “hirty-four Scotch members of the louse of commons have thus far joined the Chamberlain faction, whil are pledged to Gladstone. The ehaos which the parties have lapsed makes it impos- sible to predict the result of the dissolution. It is admitted, however, that Gladstone's ap- peal to the country will not be definitely for the approval of his home rule bill, but will be linted simply to the qugstion of creating a subordinate legislative gathority in Ircland. ‘Tlhere seems to be an_shsolute contidence in government eircles it the country will re- turn a large majority in favor of the home rule vrinciple. Hartington, Goschen and Chamberlain are perfecting plans for united action In the eanvass. They will have, to the fullestextent, the use of the conservative party agencies, It is, in fact, proposed that the platform of the conservatives and of the Jiberal union shall consist of a single piank— the maintainance of the imperial unjon pnsideration of minor party questions permitted, Lhe financial strength of unlion is an important element to be considered. Lord Stalbridge, formally the whip of the iberal party, and one of. the best informed of politicans, exclaimed on reading the list of the liberal union commit- tee, that it contained the name of every man who ever subseribed a penny toward the election expenses of the liberal p This statement may be ac epted as very near abso- lute correctiess. The sury ot the central liberal * association, which i3 Gladstone’s chiief r for barty funds, is already depleted, and some of its prineipal siibsc refuse to con- tibute. Thie reports of ex-Speaker B acting as Hartington’s whip, of Caine, whip for the malcontent radicals, coneur that these factors will muster certainly 110 votes against home rule. The go vernment whips, ers of former d; nd, who is on the contiary, now estimate only seventy- five defections. ' The opposition charges the government with seducing waverers by Jay- ish promises of appointments and other honors, The Ulster loyalist committee has issued a call for a “convention at Belfast on Whit Monday (June 14). The call in- vites both the Tiberals and conservatives in relandl to attend, and urges that party di cnees be setaside and that all loyal people unite in a common antagoan ism lufill‘ disrup- tion of the empire. The Methodists’ new convention, at their annual mecting in Bel- fast, have passed resolutions to the cilect that dstone’s home rule bill means priest rule: that its passuge would n the arrest of commerce, the promotion of poverty, erime and bloodshed; the injury of the whole em- pire and the ruin of Irela of the.

It would bo absurd to suppose that Lord Wolseley would declare an inten- tion to resist by force of arms the measures sanctioned by the queen. Lord Charles was rsonally convineed that if the bill passed re would bo a serious uprising in Ulster. He advocated a short period of one-man rule in Ireland, for the purpose of suppressi the league, A strong man ('ullltll. in month's time, put Ireland nght. ‘The prospect of dissolution has induced the queen to postpone her journey to Balmoral, where she | d to seeé the birches in their spring foli She remains at the Windsor 10 await events, 'This disy of the story Mr. Gladstone bas already attained the 5 ssolution.

Well, I will tell you. The majority in the house are in the first place opposed to inereasing the expendi- tures for pensions, and secondly, there are 80 many opinions in the house about what a general or service pension bill should be that I have no idea that if the bill could be passed that obnoxious amendments could bo ept out of it—I mean amendments which would be obnioxious to the senate. 1 suppose the people in our branch of congress will try (and may sueceed) to have the Mexican veterans incorporated in the bill, ien they have a dozen other hobbies, any of \\hi('?l may be incorporated. Drawing to a Close, WasmNGToN, May 2.—[Special.|]—Con- gress will undoubtedly adjourn within ten weeks, The measures which are left over to the next session are, in the very great bulk, the same as defeated, so far as consideration is concerned. The prospects at this time are that the interstate commerce, oleomargerine, apropriations, and private bills, with the ariffy, will take u the rest of the session. The scobe of the real work yet to be done by this congress, it will be observed, does not include the navy reorganization y ronstrue- tion, bankruptey, consular, laad forfeiture, Pacitic railroad, and hundreds of other bills of morc orless publie importance, It looks now as though a very large proportion of the work of the committees—fully three-fourths of it—is doomed to outright loss, waste, The Presidential Nominations.

He is undoubted he was eighteen months ago, the most popu- lar man in the party, and the only man who can i the factions coliere, excepting, of course, the mugwumps, And before two more years have passed away, the mugs will be gone where the woodbine twineth, Every sensible re- publican recognizes the fact that Blain defeat was not due to any deficlency on patt, but to a combination of unfortunate oc- currences, near the end of the campaign, which could not be fo prevented. Why, you know that three or four foolish words by one wan cost us the electoral yote of New'York, Other mistakes were made, oo slight 1n themselves, but fatal in the ag- regate.

Crtcaco, May 23.—[Special Telegram.)— Notwithstanding the fact that it had been positively stated that not one word of testi- mony in the anarchist investigation before the grand jury would be divulged until that body concluded itslabors, & morning paper comes out with a long article going to show that the testimony of Police Captain Schaak was of & far more interesting character than has been generally supposed by the general public. In fact, it was sensational and halr-raising in the highest degree. To begin with, he told the jury thathe had no doubt that the pris- oner, Lingg, had manufactured a number of dynauiite bombs, and that he got the material from the Arbsiter Zeitung ofice. He had witnesses to prove this. One of the witnesses was . quasi sccomplice of Lingg, whose name he requested not to be asked to divulze. e could give the details of the manufacture of the explosives and tell who were the prineipal parties concerned therein with Linge. There were four p sons, and only Liugg and one other were under arrest. The second section of the cap- tain's testimony was listened to with breathless silence. I think,” sald Schaack, that I have got to the bottom of this business. Inacouple of days I will have itall; but I want more time. Then I can prove beyond doubt that this anarchist conspiraey ° has existed here for ye There are two divisions of it oneis an agitalinz section. Money is set apart for its purposes. This is catled the so- clalist section, ~ Besides this there is an armed party, ananarchist section, These rill ined in the use of explosive They practice and experiment in - aceor ance with the instructions of pamphlets, will produce witnesses to prove and I think I ecan also prove there was a laid plan to sack and burn the lumber districts in Chicago on May 4. - It would_have been car- ried out but that the anaj nerve and were unpre action of the police, Men werd to set fire to certain housc in the northwestern portion” of the eity, and others were told off to throw bombs into the police stations, while others were to use bombs at the meeting if the police attcmpted to dis- e it. 1 think I can eonnect every man of cialists now in jail with these crimes. The houses to have been burned in the northwestern section of the city were to be selected indiseriminately. ‘I'he purpose of burning was to atuact the attention of th police to that section and_draw them ay from the m Foi"h’ of attack, the Hayni ket square and police stations, The early ispersal of the crowd in the square, tho premature throwing of the bomb, for t was premature, and the determined i of the police, frightened the i nd thoee who were to attack the police barrack in detail.” A juror asked, with samething like trepid tion; wihgre the witnesses to prove this coun all, = up of the police .station,’ ok replied. “Iean produce nsmany o them before the grand jury as may be decmed- wise and necessary.

I*A Talk With the Chicago Attorney of the Creditors. «.CuicaGo, May 22.—[Special Telegram. |— In the clrcuit court yesterday, Loyal L. Smith confessed judzment for $125,000 to David K. Tenny, trustee, for a large number of Smith's creditors. ‘Tenny, who is a mem- ber of the law firm of Tenny, Bashford & Tenny, made the following statement to r vorters concerning S.anith’s financial t action: “He used to live in Omaha, where he was in the dry good business on a large seale. Nearly a year ago he failed for §260,000, IHe sold his stock to Haiman Lowy, of Chicago, and skipped to Cauada. Creditors attached the goods in the hands of Towy, and they were sold in Omahaand $78,. 000 realized, which was taken po on of by the court in that city. Several suits were tried there about two months ago and the creditors were Dbeaten, very improp- erly, as I thought. Testimony as to the fraudulent nature of the sale was merely eircumstantial, I made up my mind that if the truth was known the cascs could be still won. I then went to Canada and had several interviews with Smith, After being there several days I sue- ceeded In getting at what I believed to be the actual facts—that Lowy never paid a dollar for the stock of goods which was worth between $130,000 and $175,000, 1 had very reliable testimony to that effect, Iin- duced Smith to ci ¢ to Detroit, where aded himto give me a judgment not 000, Yesterday I went into the cir- cuit court and had judgment entered up. The creditors are numerous and are scat- tered over a great deal of territory, 'I'hey are principally in Chicago, Boston, New York, St. Louis and Omaha, Two banks in the lat- ter city have claims aggregating $23,000, In Chicago Smith owes about $40,000, in Philadelphia §9,000, Boston $5,000, and the ckson Manufacturing company, Jackson, Mich,, $3,000, Tl are quite a number n St. Louis and other places where claims range from $500 to $5,000. It is the intention to attach the §750,000 in the hands of the Omaha court, and to proceed against him for the difference between that amount and {the true value of the goods, which it is claimed we fraudulently ob- tained by him, about £160,000. Undoubtedly Lowy agreed to pay something for the goods when he bought them, but never having done 80 it became easier to induce Smith to give away the facts, so that the creditors might obtain something, even if ne would not do so, L P.
