Loxvoy, June 1.—The inaugural confer- ence of the radical union was opened today at Birmingiam by Joseph Chamberlain. Chamberlain, in an address,freferred to the course adopted by Trevelyan on the Irish uestion, and said that he regretted that z'reu-lynn had doffed nis armor when the ght was hottest. The liberal-unionists, ho continued, haa been taunted upon their allis nee with the tories. 1here was satistaction, éowevur. in knowing that their allies were English gentlemen and not subsidized agents g:» foreign conspiracy. ‘The time seemed to approaching when the formation of a new party would be found necessary. A Tesolution was paseed in favor of the largest possible extenslon of local govern- ‘menl to Ireland, subject to the supremacy of he imperial parliament and the protection of the protestant minority. The conference was attended by 200 delezates, representing all parts of Great Britain. The tone of the Bpeechies was bitter anti-Gladstonian. It was the first representative unionist meeting ‘where an irreconcilable hostility to Glad- stone has been the rolling (‘r(. Chamberlain declared his belief that conciliation would be & mere deception. Lord Hartington's letter described the Gladstonians as absorbed in the Parnellites, theit only object being to tain &t any cost the support of $he Parnellites by their policy of following unreservedly the leadership” and adoptin, the parliamentary methods of their Irish al- les. A new electoral icommittee will be ap- pointed for London. Rumors were current t the confereuce that the government would ntroduce, probably during the autumn ses- slon, a local government bill including Ire- land, and that the government might dis- solve parliament over this measure. The same report in the conscrvative clubs are hastening preparations for electoral orzani- zation. The ministers willreturo to London Monday, and a cabinet council will be held ‘Tuesday. A mass meeting of unionists was held to- n|rhl|u the Birmingham town hall, The Yollowing letter was read from John Bright: **The great Inglish liberal party is called on fo abandon its past traditions and prostrate itself before an odious. iilegal, immoral con- piracy, and though they grieved over the mporary ruin of the liberal party, they were guiltless of mischief and without shame.” Sir Henry James said the liberal-unionists mever wavered in their allegiance to their Jeader until his alliance with Parneli was in- evitable. They were then obliized to asso- esate with former political opponents. As to the Parnellites, he distrusted them as men, besides dislik vrinciples. A resolution was ad, pving the action of the union st lead John Bright's letter, read at the liberal- unionist mass meeting at Birminghan, to- night, isalong and tierce denunciation of the Gladstonian i which in Great 3 cted by a majority of W Bright strongly condemns O'Brien’s mission, and ~ the refusal of the Irish ‘mayors to celebrate the ueen’s jubilee. After reading Bright's letter, Chamberlain addressed the meeting. He complained that the Glad- stoniang were abusing liberty of speech and Bopulnr representation in order, with_the arnellites, to obstruet parliament. This Wwas treason to parliamentary government and an insult to the electors. "It could be cured not by altered procedure rules, but by the pressure of publie indignation against the offenders at an election. Belgian Bills Discussed, [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] Brussens, June L—[New York Herald Cable—Speciul to the Brp.|—The house of wepresentatives continued the discussion of the bill for the fortliication of the Meuse val- fey, for the protection of Belgian neutrality. Maxzis, member for Liege, the most import- anteity of the Meuse valley, opposes the pill, and says the fortifications would de- Anand much larger forces to protect them than Belgium could dispose of, therefore they wonld easily be seized by and be- come strongholds in the hands of France and Germany, and, instead of being de- terrant, will consequently be an inducement to invasion. Frere Orban, the venerable Jeader of the opposition, delivered along and important speech in the same strain, and maintains that what is wanted Is compulsory military service and strengthening the artil- lery. He accuses the government of naming ®s partisans of its scheme ofticers who dare mot oppose It from fear of falling into dis- ¥avor. Frere Orban will continue his speech So-morrow. The semate to-day resumed and ended the discussion of the cattle bill, which passed by 38 votes to 22, ‘The strike is gradually abating all over the country. No one can tell how soon it may break out aga!

The article continues: “In other words, a series of dynamite and incondiary outrages is in- tended, Whether the scheme proves a suc- ru. the near future will disclose. What nowledge the Parnellites possess of the character and projects of the men who hold relationship with them, we shall discuss. ‘e will only add that while the success of the inqguiry we have has surpassed our original expecta- tions, Parnell has but to raise a tinger to obtaln far fuller information upon evel ; mnt than our partial and limited opportuni- have rendered possible.” A Btrike for Beer.

(Copyright 1557 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoxpoN, June L—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Brk.|—Doubtless Re- ceiver MclLean and many old guardsmen remember seeing Macready at Park theater as Werner in Byron's play. This, revised and improved in business by Frank Mar- shall and Irving, was this afternoon pro- duced at the Lyceuw before an immense audience of distinguished people for the benefit of Westland Marston, the aged dram- atist, who is poor and was recently bereaved of his son, Philip Bourke, the Blind poet, so well known in America, Dukes, lords,ladies and all the profession were represented. Even the pit and galleries were filled with aristoeratic occupants. The stalls brought $10 and the rest of the house propor- tional prices, The amount realized is about $10,000. When Irving was young Marston was kind to him, and now the latter is old the former returns the bread cast on the water. Miss Terry personated Werner's wife, Alexander ‘Theirson, Gbong, the usurping baron, and the other characters seemed filled to the personal peculiarities of their repre- sentatives. ‘I'he alterations made the plot highly melo- dramatei, and its horrors almost painfully intensitied un the powerful treatinent given fitby Irving, Terry and Alexander. The representation was accompanied by & real wealth of scenery, dresses and prover- ties. Irwing entered thoroughly into the character,a species of sulblimated Mathias. All the phases of Werner, his vaccilation, haggard misery, family *pride, whilom cow- ardice, eomfortless despair, morbid faney, heart sickness, and, indeed, tornadoes of passion, as depicted by Irving seemed to so interest and rivet the attention of the au- dience that they appeared to reject the ordi- nary impression that “Werner” was only a closet play. Moreover, this new version makes “Werner” no longer a one-part pl because equally excellent scope and oppor- tunity have been given to every character. Irving will undoubtedly add it to his Amer- ican repertoire. Representatives of the American colony were present. Many Americans also, in the evening at Coyent Garden opera louse, wel- comed back Scalchi, who had a contract to play in “Dinorah,” Arrested For Treason.

General Alexander Testifles Before the Investigating Commifion, Bostox, June 1L—The ofticial investigation into Union Pacific railrond affairs was con- tinued this morning. General Alexander, of Savannab, testified that he was formerly a | government director of the Union Pucifie | railroad. ile was of the opinion that the an- nual report of the company was a fair basis o whrk upon regarding the earning power of the rond. Concerning the relations of the | branch lines to the parent road, he had con cluded that the branch earnings were about 50 per cent of the net earnings of the road. Ie said there could be no question in the mind of any railroad man who was familiar with the Union Pacitic road that the branch system of the road had been its salvation. ‘The matter of adjusting rates betweén the branch and maii lines witness thought diflicult matter to settle. and this, he said, needed experimenting with efore it could be satistactorily determined. From the manner in which the matter of constriction and mileage was adjusted throughout the country, he was of the opinion that if there was aby diserimin- ation it was against the branches. Witness thought the present situation damaging to the Union Pacific and the government, and it was for ihe interest of both to adjust mat- ters atonce. ‘The first step is for the road to pay a certain fixed sum per year, howeyer small. Witness always understood that the road was willing to lei the government take everything they had as secarity for indebted- ness. The company could afford to pay about §1,800,000 at the present time. ‘The debt will amaunt to about 855,000,000, ineluding interest at 6 per cent. Kqual vayments of $1,%00,000 would pey off the debt in about seventy years. 1t might be possible to have this pay- ment r.’\dlmllf’ increas road should havpen to fail in its annual payments the government could asswme eharge of the road. —_— A Railroad Deal C mmated.

The twenty-third biennial convention of the Lutheran General Synod in the United States was opened last night in the Kountze Memorial chureh in this city under the efficient management of Rev. J.8. Detweiler, the pastor, who has also for the past four years been seeretary of thie body. The delegates and visitors met a reception alike worthy of the great church which they repres able to the committee who perfected the arrangements. The church was appropriately decor- ated with mottoes it the Enj i and Swedish languages. with corresponding flags were suggestive of the polyglot character of the Lutheran church, Small banners containing the names of the various district synods mdi- cated the pews to be occupied by the del- cgates representing these bodies in the convention. Rev. M. Rhodes, D. D., of 8t. Louis,the president, with the secretary, Rev. J. S. Detweiler of this city, sat on the pulpit platform and conducted the opening ser- vice, in which they were assisted by Rev. Francis Springer, D. D., of Springfield, Illinois, and Rev. L. M. Kuhns, D. D., of N Philadelphia, Ohio. At the conclu- ion of the religious service, the roll of the synods was culled and the delegates enrolled. A majority answered to their names, and on motion of Rev. T. C. Bellheimer. D. D., of Read- ing, Pa.. the clection of oflicers which should regularly have taken place at the first meeting was postvoned until this morning. The congregation joined in singing Luther’s great hymn, “Ein Feste Burg.”” Hon. John M, Thayer, governor of the state was escorted to the platform by Dr* P. 8. Leisenring and introduced dent, who In turn presented audience, when he said sub- stantially as follows: . I have been honored by an invitation to extend to you a welcome to our state. As the chief execativ din the name of the people thereof I extend to you a welcome, When we learned that you had resolved to meet here we were glad, ou might sce our state and learn ng of our country.

May you carry away memories of pleasure and satisfaction. o the guvernor’s address Dr. Rhodes responded: 3 he general synod reciprocate the cor- diality with which you have welcomed us, and in reply 1 congratulate the state of Nebraska on 1ts governor. We hail from many states, each one an empire, We did not know whether there would be room enough for us here. There is such a thing as a state without the church, but it 15 a pagan state. Such a state must go down to ruin and carry its people with it. There is a special relation between the progress of which you boast and our church, because of the principles enunciated by him whose name you mentioned. I am certain I voice the desire of the L‘enerul synod when I express the hoRc that you in the state, and that we in the church may together be instrumental in making this state and every other state in the union one gn\nd empire and that the empire of God. Mr. C. F. Goodman escorted Hon, W. J. Broatch, mayor of this city, to the platform, when he said: My first personal acquaintance with a Luthieran orzanization was with the general synod at Canton, O., thirteen years ago. was very much pleased with the work at the synod at that time, and then Leard a sermon which made upon me thegreatest iinpression of any to which 1 ever listoned. 1t was de- livered by the present president. In the se- lection of Omaha for this |neellnfi the synod was promised the spectacle of a live, vigor- ous, prosperous and rapidly growing city. 1n this you will rot be dlu‘nmlnmd. e have to-day between 90,000 and 100,000 people and plenty of room for more. Nebraska 18 the most powerful field 1n the west.for the Lutheran church. A very large percentage of its population is Scandinavian and German ; the former are all born Luther- ans and the latter largely so, There are also 6,000 Danes and 8,000 Swedes in Omaha, who have been pioneers in the advancement of the cause of their church. We count the Seandinavians as amony our very best citi- zens. Speaking of the growth of the Lutheran ~ church = in~ Omaha _ he attributed the growth and prosperity of the vresent church and ennirugulon to the zeal and energy of the Rev. Dr, Stelluy now de- ceased, and of the present pastor, Dr.J. 8.

After loud calls Rev.J.S. Detweiler came forward and said that if they in- sisted’ on extenaing the program y must take the responsibtlity, He ex- pressod his joy that the governor and mayor and the president of the synod | were all there. This convention would be a grand thing for Omaha and the state of Ne- braska. He bad received numerous let- ters from delegates who expressed fear that there would not be room in Omaha for the Lutherans when the Presbyter- ians had so recently been here, Wo have been growing since then (applause). He said that anything that the city afforded was at their serviees He expressed his gratitude to the governor and mayor for adding to the ures of the pceasion. A J. Wolf, D.D., volunteered the rk that he did not feel that he de- d any welcome. He had opposed coming here, but now that he had scen the place and experienced the weleome, he was thoroughly ashamed, and was willing to do any amount of penance. ‘The money that the church had put into home missions in Omaha was an ecclesi- al investment that hud brought results. He did not know anything about circuses, but he had heard of the great trains of cars upon which Barnum was i the habit of transporting his show from place to pluce. He would like to have such a train of cars and carry around for exhibition this church with its congregation and pastor, to show all the people how 1t pays to send money to the west for home mission After the benedietion was pronounced, the delegates xrmn half an hour in the interchange of grectings, and thus the proceedings of the Lutheran synod were inaugurated. Something About the Lutherans, The general synod is a delegate body represepting twenty-three synods, con- sisting of 878 ministers and 134,810 mem- bers. It does not represent all the Luth- eran churches, by reason of the diver- sity offlanguage, and the various phases of doctrine to be found among the chris- tians who hear this historic name. The general synodas the oldest, and though not the largest gencral body in the church, it represents the life of the Evangelieal church of the reformation, as developed and modified by the religi- ous life of the free country in which we live. It has adapted itself to roundings, and caught the spiri renius of the new country in which it }Tl:\ found a home. No membver of any of its churches ad- mits however, that it has _departed from the faith of the fathers. 1Its history is re- arded as the record of genwne and egitimate progress. 1t makes no claim that the Lutheran church alone 18 the true church on earth. It believes that its faith is the most scriptural and the purest, but it does not, on this account, unchureh all others. It recognizes and extends a fraternal hand to all Evangeli- cal christians, and co-operates with them i 1 movements for the upbuilding of Chr kingdom. It is unwilling to enforce rigidly the rule *Lutheran pul- pits for Luthcran ministers only, and Lutheran altars for Lutheran communi- cants only.” It invites to its pulpits minsters of other Evangelical denomin- ations whenever christian courtesy or the cause of the Redeemer may require it. The Lutheran church in America was founded by the celebrated German divine Rey. Henry Melchoir Muhlenberg, who arrived in this country in 1742. There had been scattering colonies of Luther- ans here since 1621, but they were often without regular ministers, and they had no synodical organization of :m{ d. Six years after the landing of Muhlel lmrf the first synod was organized in Philadelphia. For more than seventy years the work of the church was under the direction of individual synods. These synods were scattered through various states, were more or less independent of each other, and attended mainly to the interests of the church upon the territory which they respectively occupied. In consequence of this a spint of separation and jealousy, rather than of union and mutual co-operation was fostered. To counter- act this spirit, and to promote the pros- verityof the church, the general synod was orgamzed in 1820. The convention in that year was held n Hnfierswwn, Md., and since that time there has been continued growth not- withstanding the fact that the general synod south and the general council,both large bodies, have been formed by synods withdrawing from it. The present convention consists of 192 delegates from all over the United States, together with the officers of the various church boards and societies. sessions will be vpen to all, and the pro- ceedings will be of great interest. Bidding for the College. The board of education of the Lutheran synod held a session in the reception room of Boyd's opera house yesterday to consider bids from various places for the locztion of a college, which the Luther- ans propose to build, The session of- the board was executive, the members ad- mitting the representatiyes of the several towns seeking the college, listening to the propositions which they had to make and dismissing the representatives to re- ceive and listen = to the next. ‘There was a spirited competitivn between Kansas City and Atchison. The latter is represented by S. B. Glassin, James W. Orr, J. E. Moore, 8. H. Kelley, H. J. Chambers, A. C. Browne, C. E. Stvles, L. W. Bogel, C. W. B, Ewing, L Heath and L. Keper and the delegation did their utmost to sccure the in- stitution. Kansas City is represented by Colonel 8. F. Scott and W. A. Walker, who were also very actively engaged in trying to have their city named. Beat- rice and chita representatives were also rustling. The board will rec- ommend to the general synod the place which in its opinion is the best. The synod wi'l pass upon the board’s recom- mendation. i THE DELEGATES.
