RELATIVES. The Monster Stragele, LoxpoN, May 80.—(S Cablegram to the BrE.)—The political situation has under- gone a sudden change and one distinetly ad- verse to the government. Gladstone's vehe- ment “never,” in replying to Lord Randolph Churehill's eharge that he intended to recon- struct the homo rule bill, coupled with his at- firmation that members voting for the second reading of the bill would stand pledged there- to support its essential features, has «d the disposition among raaicals to renew allegiance to the covernment, and has done much to consolidate the whig-radieal oppusition. There is to bo a meeting of radi- cal dissidents Monday, at which the question of voting against the bili or avstaming from voting at ail will be decided. Chamberlain and Hartinzton, at their conference, fully discussed the policy of having their united forees refrain from voting. After considering thesubject in ail its bearings, the idea of abstention was abandoned, aud it was defi- nately azreed to marshal their whole con- tingentand stand against the second reading, "The result of the vote turns upon the number of members who cannot be induced to come under this agreement, but will stiil refrain from voting, and upon the possivility of Gladstone being able, between now and Tuesday, to receive a few accessions from among the waverers, The oppouents of the bill vely greatiy upon the effeet of John Bright's expected speech, which they belleve will have a marked influence in causing de- serlers from the government ranks. It is not quite certain, however, that Bright will speak. “The government whigs ceport that they have sately prepared for a division Mon the second veading, but sines Gladstone's liberal weeting on Thursday ithas developed there is a more weneral desire thau betore on the uvart of the conservatives and seeeding liberals to debate the question, and this is iikely to result in a protracted debate until about Friday, either side isat present justilied in entertaining coniidence as to what the result of the division will be, Certainly the majority cither toror against will be very sl not more than ten for the motion normore than twenty against it—mak- ing all reasonable allowance for the claims of each side. ‘The lobby is kaleidoscopic in its incessant ehavzes of alleziance under the influence of intrigues of the various parties.

After it was all over, Seymour had Moore arrested for perjury, but subso- quently dismissed the action for the reason that it comes before the United States courts. But the Central Nebraska Press, edited by W. C.

Grangors Advance Steadily and a General Activity Noticeable, Aow York, May 80, -|Special Telegram to the Bk, |- The stock market the past week has besn of o very hope ul character. Agree: able to the propliceies of the bulls last week, the market has shown new strength and courage each day until Friday night, when the prophesied reaction commenced. 1t has been said repeatedly by the bears that the present advance was wholly a “soda water rise,” but thay have also said it a good 1ene tion took place of several per cent they would acknowledge their mistake, as that event would be the strongest possible proot that the rise was a healthy one, and that a better market would be the inevitable result, The bulls have talked so buoyantly that a number of bears have turned, and are now develop- ing horns as fast as possible. The opinion is quite prevalent that there never was - time, or ut least it is u long time since, an average operator could do business on the strect with as much freedom as at present, Giants, who lave lield control so long, have gone most of thew dead. Lackawann took the lead about the 20th of of the monthand began to rise obedient to Mr. White's wishes, ‘The movement was notice- able because of the deadness of tho general market. Aftera day or two of shght ad- vances White went (o Chicago, all the while both hie and his intimate associutes talking of better prices. Alnost immediately after his return a new clement appeared on the street in the shupe of Chicago buying, and while the market did not jump many points in rise, it still showed the effect of u stong influence.

Norman B.

Drs Morxes, la, May 50,—[Special to the e senate has halted in its work of inspecting Auditor Brown, and is now ens gaged in tryfng itself. The members of the court are considerably excited, and a good many people outside the court are a good deal more exeited over the fact that the hon- orabie gentlemen are preparing to draw back pay, or pay for the time when they were not in session, between the adjournment of the legislature and the begiuning of the impeach- meat trial--about five weeks--at the rate of $0aday. Twelve of the senators having a certificate of approval from Licutenant Gov- ernor Hull, have alrea dy drawn their pay, which amounts to $216 apic The total cost 1o the state for this back pay would be over S1L,000, and there is a pretty good sized rampus being stirred up about it ‘T'he faets are that in a striet technical con= struction of the statute they might have & color of law for the proceeding. But the moral right is by no means so plain, Tho law authotizing the impeachment trial pro- viaed that senators should be paid $6 per day while sitting as & court of impeachment. Immediutely after the law was passed the senate organized as a court, and then nd- journed for tive waeks. Now many of the senators elaim that they are entitled to their per diem for theentire time of the five weeks® recess, It is to pe said for some of them, Inwyers especially, that they have been obliged to give up busmess and lose many proitable envagements that tney could not undertake on account of this trial, whieh came to them during the recess, so they feel that they are entitied to every cent of re- muneration the state can give, and then they will not have received a sutlicient compensi- tion for what they have lost. But the unre flecting public cries out aguinst the proceed- ing as & “steal,)” a “buack pay salary grab? and an outrage, and a great “deal of excited talk 15 hoarth "1t 18 prabable, thererore; TIke each man will sctile the question for hiniself, and if he thinks he has earned in the recoss the per diem he will take it, and those who don'ttake it with a clear conscience had bot= ter leave it alone. A resolution has been in- troduced in the senate declaring that mem- bers of the urt are not enti- tled to pay for the five weeks before the trial, properly speaking, began. This called out sturing scene when it was in- troduced, and some hot specches were: made, but before any result was reached, considera- tion of the résolution was postponed until the senate reconvenes and it will be made a spectal order next Wednesday morning, A PEIMANENT EXPOSITIO ‘The directors of the new state fair gronnds are meeting with great encouragement in their efforts to make a permanent exposition, Already about a dozen business houses have applied for leave to erect permanent build- ings to represent their lines of business, and many improvements of this kind will be made before the fair opens in September, ‘I'lie prospect now is that there will i)u quite a colony of buildings on the grounds and an eflort will be made to have them in readiness for park purposes, connected with the city by a handsome boulevard, PLANS FOR THE SOLDIERS HOME, ‘The architeer for the new soldicrs’ home has prepared his plans and they will be sub- mitied to the board of trustees at their meet~ ing this week, ‘The building is to bo 206 feat in‘extreme length, the central portion to be 60 feet in width, and terminated ateither end with wings 120 feet in width, The wings are to be thiee stories high and the main build- ing four stories.
