. CHURCH DISESTABLISHENT, A Commoner Criticizes Gladstone's Speech at Nottingham. THE TIME FOR ACTION AT HAND. Chamberiain Feeling Rather Dublous . Over the Attacks Made On Him By the Canadian Press— Foreign News. Gladstone Oriticized. (Copyright, 1887 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxpox, Oct. 20.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Ber.]—No small sensation has been created throughout the country’ by Gladstone's statement at Not- tingham concerning the question of church disestablishment. He has often before nib- Dled at the subject, butnow for the first time plainly deelares that the time has come for action. He only promise to bagin with ‘Wales and Scotland and expressly ab- stains from discouraging the cry of “Down with the English cstablishment.” 80 his speech is accepted as a final declara- tion of war against the whole church as it stands and makos it clear that his aid in dis- establishment can only be secured on con- dition that & majority is given him for home rule. He says at the outset: “I1f you want church disestablishment you must first give me a majority for home rule.” This ulti- matum from one who was long the church's favorite son und who maintained that the monarchy must fall if the church touched it, must necessarily cause a great commotion among the general public as well us in so- cial circles. What will be the immediate ef- fect on the fortunes of Gladstone and the home rule party will probably not be great either wuy, the opponents of church estab- lishments having long looked to Gladstone as @ natural leader by qualifying the promi: boon. With the support of home rule influen- tis), dissenters, such as Bright, Spurgeon and McArthur, will be driven away. Bright sald privately not long ago: ‘‘Disestablish- ment can wait, but the question of union can not.” Again, Catholics will not support dis- endowment, fearing that their own large en- dowments may be assailed in turn. The same thing is true to a great extent of the Wesleyans. Disestablishment without dis- endowment would pe simply form, yet if both are kept, following a precedent of the Irish church, large classes will be alarmed outside the church, consequently it is not certain that this new move will bring much or any new strength to Gladstone. Within the church party great and growing demands for reform have arisen. Some even dosire disestablish- ment. It is needloss to say this class ure not holders of fat livings of two or three thou- sand pounds a year, and never heard of a bishop with his paltry two thousand a year, much less of the archbishop of Canterbury with his fifteen, or of York with his ten curates with eighty or a hundred pounds n year. To approach the question from & dif- forent point: In the clection of 1885 Cham- berlain was partly the cause of bringing the subject into the foreground. The result was surprising to all parties. A much stronger feoeling was developed in favor of the church than any one anticipated. The reason is that so many people, even dissenters, mar- ried in the established church and prefer to have friends burried with its rites. Domestic sentiment is thus enlisted in its support. It would bo premature, however, to assume that disestablishment involves the success of Gladstone's Irish policy. The reports here of the attacks on Cham- berlain in Canadian papers will make him more dubious than ever about the wisdom of fecepting the mission. It would not sur- prise me to see him back out even now if a a .decent pretext offered itself. His po- sition here is doubtless very trying. HI8 name was hooted at Nottingham and in other assemblies of faithful hearts, and I do not sce how he is going to improve it by coming to griof in the fisher- jes negotiations. Such a consideration, pressod upon him by friends, now derive ad- dittonal strength from the tone of the Cana- dian press. As he must expect the hostility of the Irish citizens of the states and Canada, his mission has anything but a rosy look. Beresford was not able to attend the house during the past session, but always declared his intention to die a member for Cambridge university. Nobody wished him to resign. His death would not affect the balance of parties, his seat being safe to the conserya- tiyes, Itis different in Evelyn's case, Dept ford haying a large Lidy of Irish voters who arg opposed to Evelyn.: Englishmen would kave run him a closer race. Conservatives would regard the contest there with appre- hension. Another metropolitan member for Ghent— Davis Kennington—is anxious to resign, finding, like many others, that the duties of & member interfere seriously with business.- Friends persuaded him to hold on, at least for the present. Three or four contests are inevitable soon after the scssion opens. No- body can resign till then. The speaker has no power to issue a writ for a new election during recess, except in case of death. That' contingoncy spart, all parties must meet with their present strength, One of the first procecdings of the session will be an attempted reform procedure by the adoption of a new rule lim- iting the hour for sitting to midnight with an automatic cloture at 12, tho speuker to put the question without & motion is made, other- wise no_docision could ever be arrived at. If the ministry carry this rule there will be an adjowrnment from 7 till 9 for dinner. The young members will be shut out of debates and cverybody released at & ' reasonuble hour. 1 Dbelieve there will be no great objection to a midnight adjournment, but there will be to the dinner hour. The last session wore everybody out. Neither side is anxious to g0 through such another. Some decided chunge may therefors be anticipated. Lord Detabley, who died Tuesday, was the owner of one of the most curious houses in England-—Tabley hall, Cheshire, frequently visited by Americans for specimens of black and white timbered dwellings, muci; sought for by visitors beyond the Atlantic. At least a dozon Americans apply for aduission every day. This louse bas & veritable haunted room, though the ghost is somewhat shy and retiring. Another houso in the same county has the ghost of u priest, often found reading in the library, but vanishes at the appearance of a human being. Now isa good time for investwent in these articles. Houses and lands are going for a mere song, with & family ghost of most respectable herituge thrown in. i OF PARLIAMENT, Loxpox Oct. 20.—Evelyn, resigned his seat as member of parliument for Deptford. He declares in his letter of resignation that he cannot support the Ivish policy of the government. The registration bill foreshadowed at the Nottingham con- ference is really a reform bill, granting man- Liood suffrage, lishing revising barristers, political agents, ete. Gladstone is the author of the measure. Churchill's Idea of limmorality. LoxDoN, Oct. 20.—Lord Randolph Church- ill, in a spoech at Sunderland today, de- nounced as immoral Gladstone's proffer to wako the disestablishment of the church in Wales a plank of the liberal platform in ro . turn for the support of his Irish schonme. Gladstone, he said, exprossed his ideas on all subjects jn the vague ner. He was llllmlbgll all m-nlm_fin—tn estions of reform and t in the nance department and publ tion. Churchill advocated the cause of temperance and free education as conservative measures. Like the Cladstonians, the unionists were sfowed to deal with those questions imme- Death of a Commoner. Loxpox, Oct. 20.—Right Hon. Alexander James Beresford Hope, liberal conservative nember of parliament, is dead. o wite A Romantic Wedding. (Copyright 1887 by James Gordon Bennett.] Paris, Oct. 20.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to the Bee]—The marriage of Miss Georgette Dana and Mr. Phillippe Berierd, secretary of the embnssy at the ministry of foreign affairs, took place to-day. Miss Dana is the daughter of William P, Dana, a well-known American artist. The church was filled to overflowing and the wedding was the opening of the American society season in Paris, The altar and chancel of the church were decorated with large palms and rare flbwers in the greatest profusion. At twenty miuutes past 1 the bridal party arrived, preceded by the clergy- men. After the ceremony the wedding party drove to Mr. Dana's residence, 12 rue Pres- bourg. The marriage was quite a romantic one, M. Berierd having fallen in love with Miss Dana's portrait long before he ever mot her. Both are welloff in their own right and on all sides it is considered a happy union. P — Socialists Dispersed By the Police.

About fifty of the bekiness men of this city met at the ‘bdhrd of trade rooms last evening for the purpose of taking steps towards abolishing the discrimina- tions that Omaha apd the other cities of Nebraska are forced to suffer by the methods of several ailroads running into this city and state and, as the call said, ‘‘to agree upon measures necessary to obtain our rightdithder the National law, and secure guaraniees for proper protection in the future.” The president of the mecting was Hon. John A. McShane, and the vice presidents were H. H. Meday, chin- min Gallagher, Fred W. Gray, Euclid Mrtin, W. J. Broateh, Jeft W. Bedford, Thomas Kilpatrick, Bdward E. Bruce, Joseph Barker, P. E. Iler, John A. Horbach. The secretaries were G. M Nattinger, John T. Clark and Fred J. McConnell. W. F. Grifiths, commissioner of the freight bureau of the board of trade read a paper stating the grievances of the business men of this city, and mak- ing suggestions in regard to the best manner of settling these matters. Gibbon offered a resolution stating that certain railroads were charging rates on merchandise which were wholly fa- vorable to Chicago, and that the dis- crimination was unjust and unreason- able. It recommended that the board of trade appeal to the inter-state com- merce commission for protection, and that committees on finance and coun- sel be l'\lppoinwd to procure the neces- sary aid in bringing the matter before the commission at Washington, before November 11. The reso- lution was assed unanimousl and Mr. cShane announce that he would name the committee later. Mr. Griffiths announced that the Kansas City board of trade had made preparations to bring the matter of dis- crimination before the commission and would co-operate with the Omaha board of trade, Mr. W. A. L. Gibbon in an able ad- dress endorsed the resolution passed and commented upon the condition of Omaha to-day on account of the dis- criminations. AMUSEMENTS. Madame Modjeska in ‘‘Measure For Measure” at Boyd's. “‘Measure for Measure” is not @ familiar piece to an Omaha audience. ‘Within the recollection of the most de- voted patron of the the theater the piece has received fewer than half a dozen presentations int this city. It is not calculated to medt with strong popu- lar appreciation, and, though the audi- ence which assembléd was both large and intelligent, it was prompted in its attendance by the« dual motive of curiosity to see the play and of paying a tribute to the estimable lady who as- sumed the leading role. “Measure for Meagufe” is classed as one of Shakespeare’s icomedies, but the element of comedy forms so insignifi- cant a feature of its’stage version as scarcely torelieve the oppressive weight and austere seveflflv of the tale. The play is nrcflex;qi the moral cor- ruption which ‘‘boils and bubbles” in Vienna, tainting not alone those who seem to have been permitted to become oblivious of divine as well as human laws, but also those, in exalted station, to whom has been committed the ad- ministration of both. Dealing with a subject which is never discussed in po- lite society, it displays in strongest light, the abuse of power, and the unholy lust. There is, at times, a directness in the import of its words which cannot be misunderstood, be the latter ever so lightly expressed. This is so sadly at variance with the custom of the day that it represses the enthusiasm of the audi- tor, even when he is most likely to a‘r— reciate artistic” effort, and serves to Eco him in constant fear lest the suc- ceeding sentiment may be even more suggestive than that which has just been uttered. In contradistinction to this are the masterly cunning, wis- dom and justice of the Duke and the fortitude, resolution and saintly purity of Isabella. The latter character was sustained by Modjeska. Itis an enno- bling creation, and the star rises almost tosublimity in its exacting demands. She realizes an ideal in appearance, while her melodious voice is readily at- tuned to its varying emotions. In her pleadings Modjeska is the art- e88, innocent, respectful being who has retired from the world and appreciates the power of the dignitary from whom she begs a brother’s life. She pleads with exceeding tenderness which is made the more effective by the relentless cruelty with which her suit is dismissed. In the stronger passages, where she repels Angelo’s advances, she does so with a well-feigned horror in no wise sccured by melodramatic attempts. ‘When, also, she casts off her brother who would save his life by sacrificing his sister’s honor, she reaches a climax of intensity startlingly effective. The rendition as a whole was ennobling in conception and most artistic in execu- tion. The commendable actors in the support were Mr. Morris as Angelo, Mr. Vandenhoff as the Duke, Mr. Springer as Kscalus, Mr. Coleman as Provost, Mr. Cooper as Elbow and Mr. Owen as Pompey. e Homamopathic Medical Society. At a meeting of the Omaha Homoeo- pathic Medical society last evening, held in the offices of Pys. Barnsdall and Allen, the following new members were elected: H. E, Palmér; M. D., a grad- uate of the New York Homaeopathic college; C. W. Hayes, M. D., of the Cleveland Homeeopathic Hospital col- lege, and K. L. Alexander, of the Hahnemann college, Chicago.

T — County Commissioners' Doings. The county commissioners held a meeting yesterday afternoon and passed resolutions instructing the county treas- urer to receive the tax on the following property without interest: Northeast, northwest sections 8, 15, 215, for the years 1864 to 1867, inclusive, on account of not being carried into the delinquent tax list and omitted by treas- urer, and also the same on the follow- ing property: Two and a half acres in sin w,sw, 10, 15, 18, 1864; 3 acres in stnw,sw, 10,15, 18, 1865; 2¢ acres ins¢n w, 8 w, 10, 15, 13, 1867; 4 acres in 8t n w, 8 w, 10, 15, 18 The above action was taken on ac- count of inability to locate property.

'Great Secrecy Observed About a Pro- posed $50,000,000 Combine. New York Sun: For a number of years past the principal sugar refiners of this country have been negotiating the formation of a trust similar to the Standard Oil trust and the American Cotton-seed Oil trust. The matter has beon conducted with the greatest se- crecy. Those interested in it have pre- served reticence about it toward their most intimate friends, and even now it is impossible for the trade to learn whether the trust has been formed or not, or what is the secret state of the embryonic combination. It is known that one of the recent hitches was over the valuation that should be put upon some of the plants that were to go into the combination, and another source of anxiety has been the attitude of one of the large refining concerns outside of this city. As is well known, the great bulk of the sugar refining business of the coun- try is centered in this city. It is esti- mated in the trade that Havemeyers & Elder, who, besides their own refinery, control those of the De Castro & Donner Refining company and of Havemeyer & Co., refine on an average fully 40 per cent of the whole. These concerns form the nucleus of the combination. Those that are to be brought into the arrange- ment are: The Havemeyer Sugar Re- fining company, the F. O. Mattheisson & Wiechers Sugar Refining company, Dick & Meyer, the Brooklyn Sugar Re- fining company, and the North River Sugar Refining mxnmn¥. The two out- of-town firms that have been considered desirable allies are Havrison, Frazies & Co., of Philadelphia, and Nash, Spauld- ing & Co., of Boston. The last named has shown a good deal of reluctance about going in, and, s0 far as can be learned, has not committed itself in the matter. It is suggested that if any one of the firms wanted to stay out of the combina- tion and make an_alliance with Claus Spreckles, who has practically a mo- nopoly of the sugar business of the Pa- cific coast, they could make the combi- nation very wcur{y. It is suggested in the trade that the combination may never take such a form s to furnish the public evidence of its existence, for the reason that a for- mally organized trust would at once at- tract attention, to say nothing of an- tagonism, that might result in the aboli- tion of the duty on sugar. This would leave the ‘‘combine” in a sad plight, as the business is lurfiely dependent upon the protcecion the duty gives it by keep- ing out foreign refined sugars. How important protection is to the business i shown by the belief in the trade that those interested in forming the combi- nation have been influenced largely b the proposed reduction in the drawbacl allowed upon sugars refined here and rted from 2.6¢ to 2.4c. t is estimated that the combine re- sources of the concerns mentioned would represent fully 850,000,000 of capital. Ly rR Bill Nye as a Fox Hunter. New York World: Too much stress cannot be placed upon the costume worn while fox-hunting, and in fact that is, after all, the life and soul of the chase. For ladies nothing looks better than a close-fitting jacket, sewed together with thread of the same shade, and a skirt. Neat-fitting cavalry bootsand a plug hat complete the costume. Then with & hue in one hand and a cry in the other, she is prepared to mount. Lead the horse up to a stone wall or a freight car and sk)riug lightly into the saddle with a glad cry. A freight car is the best thing from which to mount a horse, but it is too unwieldy and frequently delays the chase. For this reason, too, much luggage should not be carried on a fox- hunt. Some gentlemen carry a change of canes, neatly concealed in a shawl strap, but even this may be dispensed with, Far a gentleman a dark, four-button, cutaway coat, with neat, loose-fitting white panties, will generally scare a fox into convulsions, so that he may be easily killed with a club. A short- waisted ({xhu: hat may be worn also, in order to distinguish the hunter from the whipper-in, who wears a base ball cap. The only fox hunting I have ever done was on board an impetuous, tough- bitted, fore-and-aft horse that had emo- tional insanity, I was dressed in a swallow-tail coat, waistcoat of Scotch plaid Turkish toweling and a pair of close-fitting breeches of etiquette tucked into my boot-tops. As I was away from home at the time and could not reach my own steed WO obliged to mount a spirited steed with high, intellectual hips, one white eye and a bi rcs nos- tril that you could set a Shanghai hen in. This horse, as soon as the pack broke into full cry, climbed over a fe that had wrought-iron briers on it, lit in a corn field, stabbed his hind leg through a sere and yellow pumpkin, which he wore the rest of the day, with seven yards of pumpkin vine streaming out behind, nmi away we dashed cross country. I remained mounted, not be- cause I enjoyed it, for I did not, but be- cause I dreaded to dismount. I hated 1o get off in pieces. If I can’t get off a horse's back as a whole, I would rather adhere to the horse. I will adhere that 1did so. ‘We did not see the fox, but we saw almost everything else. I remember, among other things, of riding through a hothouse and how Ienjoyed it. A morning scamper through a conserva- tory when the syringas and Jonquils and Jack roses lie cuddled up together in their little beds, isa thing to remcm- ber and look back to and puy for. To stand knee deep in glass und gladiolas, to smell the mashed and mussed u mignonette and the last fragrant sigh of the scrunched heliotrope beneath the hoof of your horse, while far away the deop mouthed baying of the hoarse hounds, hotly hugging the recking trail of the anise-seed bag, calls on the gorgeously caparisoned hills to give back their merry music or fork it over to other answering hills, is joy to the huntsman’s heart. The other huntsmen succeeded in trecing the anise-scod bag at_sundown, in time to catch the 6 o'clock train home. . Fox-hunting is one of the most thrill- ing pastimes of which I know, and for young men whose parents have amassed arge sums of money in the intellectual pursuit of hides and tallow, the meet, the chase, the scamper, the full cry, the cover, the stellated fracture, the yelp of the puck, the yip, the yell of triumph, the confusion, the whoop, the holla, the hallos, the hurrah, the abrasion, the snort of the hunter, the concussion, the sward, the open, the earth stopper, the strangulated hernia, the glad ery of the hound as he drings home the qu ring seat of the peasant’s pantaloons, the yelp of joy @8 he lays at his master’s eet, the strawberry mark of the rustic, all, all are exhilarating to the sons of our American nobility. Fox-hunting combines the dunger and the wild, tumultuous joy of the skating- rink, the toboggan slide, the mush-and- milk sociable and the straw rid With a good hovse, an air cushion, a relinble earth stopper and an anise- sced bag uman must indeed be thor- oughly blase who cannot enjoy a sean across country, over the Penn- sylvania wold, the New Jersey mere, the Connecticut moor, the Indiana glade, the Missouri brake, the ' Michi- gq mend, tho American tarn, the fen, he'gulch, the buffalo wallow, the crans berry marsh, the glen, the draw, the canyon, the ravine, the forks, the bot- tomor the settlement. For the young American nobloma, whose ducal father made his monacy b; inventing a fluent pill, or who gniynox his imt woalth through relievin manity by meansof a lh||n¥ Ead. & kidney pad or afoot pad, fox unting is first rate. BILL Ny, P. 8.—The above is written in the ut- most good humor, and I hope that noth- ing [ may bave said can possibly cause any fox hunter who may read it to take a fence. B. N. P — WAS IT A LUCKY CATCH? An Eagle Made Prisoner Four Hune dred Miles at Sea. New York Times: TIsit good or bad luck to catch an engle at sen 400 miles from land? Mate Govier, of the steam- shi )Jum?' City, of the Bristol Line, which arrived at this port last Tucsday from Bristol, wants to know, and will be obliged to ““Y one posted on omens who will drop bim a line on board the steamer at the foot of West Twenty- fifth street. The eagle is there, and may be seen by any one who cares to scramble over bales, barrels, boxes, and trucks, climb a gang plank inclined at an angle of about forty-five degrees, and penetrate the labyrinthian passage of the freight steamer. ‘Without doubt it was a lucky thing that Imp{x\uod to this particular eagle last Sunday when he sighted the Jorsey City. Just when he brought his bino~ cular glasses to bear on the vessel is not known, but Mate Govier brought his to solve the mystery of the thing flappin, from the upper topsail yard about 1 o'clock Sunday night. ~ It was the mate's watch and all was well. Sud- denly he rubbed his eyes. He had hap- pened to look aloft ‘and to his great surprise saw a part of the sail blowing in the wind, having escaped from its fastenings. At least, that was what he thought he saw; but a closer look caused him to aim his glasses at the sup) d piece of sail, when he perceived that it was no sail at all, but a bird of some sort and a big one. *‘Up aloft, you lubbers, and fetch me down that bird,” shouted the mate, and two_sailors rather unwlllingly pro- ceeded to execute his orders. The eagle was 100 exhausted to make much of & struggle. He was soon captured and fluttering on the deck. ate Govier had the ship’s carpenter fix a box with slats in the morniug, and there the bird now is. It was a question what he would get to eat before the Jerse: City reached port,for there wasno fres! meat, but the matter was easily solved the next day after the capture. A hawk flow aboard and was caught, much to the mate’s and the eagle’s delight. An- other hawk and two other birds also fell victims before the Jersey Cit, reached Sandy Hook and the eagle di not want for food. Since his arrival ho has eaten raw meat. The eagle is apparently a young one and not remarkably cross, although he does not invite handling. He has not been weighed, but would probably tip the scales at from six to ten pounds bl would measurc between five and six feet from tip to tip. The color is dark gray on the back, the feathers having white tips and white below. Mate Go- vier says ho will take the bird across the Atiantic and make a present of him to some zoological garden on the other side. If any one is anxious to purchase an eagle with rather aromantic history, however, the zoological gardens will not likely have the chance either to re- fuse or reject the high fl hu- pad, a liver ‘The best and surest Remedy for Cure of | all diseases caused by any derangement of | the Liver, Kidneys, Stomach and Bowels.
