NI YANDOLPH TAKES A TURN. sord Churchill Relieves Himself of o Sarcastic Speech. MAKING FUN OF BRADLAUGH. fhe Member From Northampton See verely Handled in the Presenco of Crowded Galleries—pr! ©cws Louise's Prosents, A Different Eoene. (Oopuright 1589 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxnox, July 9.—(New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bre]~There was » marked difference in the appearance of the bouse when it met this afternoon. Seats were plentiful except in the parts allotted to strangers, which were all crowded. The peers did not care to come down to hear Mr. Bradlaugh, although they flocked in in such numbers as to overflow their limited space. Theladies'galleries were fllled,among the fair visitors being the duchess of Marlborough, who was anxious to hear her brother-in-law, Lord Randolph Churchil), for the first time, The duke of Marlborough, in the opposite gallery, was also one of the early arrivals, Whilo Mr. Bradlaugh was speaking the house filled very siowly. The junior mem- per from Northampton has long made a study of the cost of monarchy in this coun- try. He came this afternoon to impart in- formation, but before the dinner hour it was his lot to receive a good deal more than he gave or bargained for. Mr. Bradlaugh is so clever o man that it might well have been supposed that he would take warning by the lessons ufforded by the examples of Mr. Labouchere ana Mr. Storey last night. Those two worthy gentlemen over- loaded their speeches with masses of matter which no ordinary audience could be expected to digest. Bradlaugh fell into tha samea pit. He had got up a great case, buv some of itrested on doubtful law, and the re- sult wus that he had the pleasure of seeing o good deal of it knocked to pieces altogether. He labored heavily this afternoon and came very mear losing the attention of his au- dience altogether. It was bruited about that Randolph was going to speak, and the house became densely packed, as usual when this 1s the case. The members were compelled to take refuge in- side the galleries provided for them. There begins to attuch to Lord Randolph some sort of the interest which used to hang around Mr. Disraeli. He stimulates curiosity and compels attention. Some may dislike him— a good many do—for he is too brilliant and to0 successful to please the medio- i but, like bim or dislike you must listen to him, Ho always has an original way® of putting things, and is sure to strike some fire out of the dullest discussion. So it was to-day. There was at first a silence when he rose, followed nfter a momeut's hesitation by cheers from his own side. They have be- come an unwonted sound in his ears. He focosely intimated that it was so loug since he had addressed the house that he was almost entitled to ask for the ndul- gence which is invariably extended to Dew members. 'Chis brought aut u warmer cheer. Thus lightly and cheerfully starting off, he was soon 1 the middlo of his subject, the whole house following him with the deepest interest. Lord Randolph w very soon launching some playful but trench- ent sarcasms in the direction of Mr, Brad- laugh. Undoubtedly Bradluugl has beew in 8 good many lawsuitg, but it does not make & man a fivst rato lawyer. Lord Randolph gently intimated that even the study of the most *'mischiovous book in the world,” “overy man his own lawyer,” would not doj that he pleaded for « little more merciful treatment for tho tory party. Do not lecture us quite so much; give us tho credit of knowing at least onough to understand you.” Al this was received by tho house with much chuckling and gloating, and 1t will do Mr. Brallaugh no harm if it cures him of the pedagogic munner of which Lora Randolph justly complained, With the banter which played like summer lightning around tho stalwart form of Mr. Brad- laugh was mixed a good deul of solid factand argument. Presently came littlo Mr. Picton’s turn, Hejbad talked darkly of a terrible castastrophe. He had even hinted | like Mr. Toots, of blood. This, from gentleman under five feot in height, cor- tainly has a somewhat ludicrous sound. Lord Randolph convulsud the house by knocking Mr. Picton down with words longer than hiwsolf. He hud delivered a necromantic, geomantic, thoumaturgic spocch, and @s theso heavy missles flew arouned the bewildered Mr. Picton's bead, Lord Randolph drew a fearful picture of the good hittle man loading the mob of Leicester out to resolution and catustrophies, amid the laughter of his friends s well as of the tories, A few min- utes more and Labouchera came up for gen- eralderision. *He appears to have went in for cheap jack republicanism and & general attempt to bring the throne and all who w pear or uround it into disrepute.” anybody who had svoken yost tory came in for Altogether, a more dashing and slushing speech was never delivered in the nouse of commons, eveh by Lord Randolph. And how tne tories cheered. They always do when their prejudices or tastes are skill- fully appealed to. Avybody might have thought thut Lord Randolph had t s back tho entire tory party. It inoluded men whom he has helped to ofice and who bear un un- dying grudge against him, Asfaras the solid part of the speech, it will no doubt be well iolghed by the coun- try. Some very remarkable igures were pro- duced as to the amount spent at Sandrigham by the Prince of Wales in building dweilings for the poor and improving the state of the people all around biw. Also some still more romarkable figures as to the cost of a mon. arch in this country. Distributed over the whole population 1t amounts to 3 farthings per hoad. Wil you shed rivers of blood for that " asked Lord Randolph of Mr, Pic. Lon, who wus siill too coufused by the bur- foting ho had received to make nay repl Jndoubtodly the speech was & great parlia- wentary hit. Amony the very first men who ran up to Lord Randolph in the lobby and poured over him & torrent of flowery and gush- ing congratulabions was Siv John Puleston “Splendid, dolightful, bezutiful,” so the torrent rushed on. But what Sir Johu said In private ciay be another and very different wutte Lord Randolph walked on regardless of both styles of comument. A tremendous ex- odus followed the couclusion of this specoh, At 8 o'clock there were not ton persons in the house, when somebody sugkested a count by way of bringing back the bungry men who had rushed off for diuver. For two Lours the small fry snd radicals had the fieid to them- Belves, but they did not glean mueh frow it. Mr, Lawson, son of tho propriotor of the Daly ‘Lolegraph, thou wade an onslaught ay escaped Leavy punish NETEENTH YEAR. OMAHA. upon Mr. Labouchere's amendment, greatly 10 the disgust of his usual friends and neigh- bors on radical benches. After him came Lord Hartington with a weighty and forcible specch, and then an- other Lawson, Wilfred, the professional humorist of his party, He alternately amused and irritated the house. One or two unkind digs at Mr. Chamberlain made everybody laugh. He quoted from a letter written by Mr. Chamberlain when mayor of Birming- ham,on the ocoasion of the visit of the Prince of Wales some years ago, in which the prince was compared to the Tichbourno claimant. These are curses that come homo to roost. Mr. Chamberlain had probably forgotten all about the insult which he had leveled at the prince, just as the prince has doubtless forgiven it. Sir Wilfred also boasts that the flower of the liberal party would follow Mr. Labouchere into the lobby in the coming division, at which Gladstone smiled faintly. Isitnota little odd to see the radical party either sneering openly atthe grand old man, or flatly contradicting him, or doing their utmost to bring him into derision | Decidedly, The future radical leader, who- cver he may be, will have no enviable task before him to reconcile discordant factions. The speeches of the night were those of Lord Randolph Churchill and of Lord Hart- ington. Add Mr. Gladstone, and we have all the contributions to tho two mghts debato which will be worth referring to hereafter. Mr. Goschen wound up the discussion with- out throwing any new light upon it. Mr. Lincoln, the United States minister, and Mr. Chauncey Depew were in the diplo- matic gallery during tho evening. What did Mr. Depew think of Sir Wiifred Lawson as a jokist! Is he propared to strike his colors us one of the wittiest of Americans to a man of water and words? Anyhow, with great generosity, he laughed occasionally at Sir Wilfred’s efforts—unless it was at Sir V fred himself—a very delicate point to decide. PRINCESS LOUISE'S PRESENTS, a Million Dotlars Worth of Magnificent G fta, [Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxpoy, July 20.—(New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee.]—The view of Princess Louise's wedding presents took place at Maclborough House this morning. Tho grand dining room presented a sight such as Marlborough House never saw be- foro and such as has rarely been seen any- where., It was & spacious curiosity shop, o storehouse of bric-a-brac and gems, which at first quite dazzlea the unprepared observer and left him for quite & time so nouplussed that a concrete study of the valuable offer- ings had to wait for recovery from a general effect that was rather stunaming. The large gifts wore massed At ran- dom about the room. They won- sisted of @& grand piano from Ludy Leicester, inlaid writing desk, all Kinds of scrcens in metal, embroidery, mir- rors und gold ornamentation, largo gold and silver trays, shields, bowls, cups, gold tea sets, gold vases, busts, etc., ol paintings, fancy furniture, rugs, bronzes, flower stands and porcelain, They were passed over in a second, how- over, in favor of a loug table runng the length of the apartment, covered with smaller aud more precious gifts so thickly that the white cloth was scarcely to b seen. ‘Phe left hand side of the table for half its length blazed with diamonds and all the most precious stones. It was o confused mass of tiuras, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, brooches and ear-rings, representing the most valuavle stones that the world’s market could furnish. There were diamonds enough to comfortably equip & royal line jeweler, An expert who was present, after a carcful estimute of the entire display, esti- wated the gifts in the precious stones alone at between £190,000 and £200,000. The first £50,000 of this was made by the prosents of Lord Fife, the Rothschilds and the Prince and Princess of Wales,while the large num- ber of fancy stones representing values made the total estimate secm small rather than large, Lord Iife's present to the bride consisted of a tiara and two necklaces. The tiara was a mass of diamonds, a line of large pear- shaped stones running around its entire frout,@hanging and shimmering in pear- shaped openings. About the taree on top was a tine of diamonds, the point consisting of pear-shuped diawonds. Inverted pen- dants were surrounded by a beautiful and frugile open work, fronted with diamonds, the wholo being one of the most artistic and valuablo pieces in all Eogland. The neck- laces were together in the same casket. The largebt was a string of the purest dismonds, the smallest being the size of a pea and tho largest, aloug the front, as large as a six- pence. The inner necklace was of smaller bluestone and gem diamonds, 80 rare and so perfect that the small necklace probably vied with the larger one in value, The Uura from tiw Prince and Princess of Wales was in narrow lance-shuped beads of diamonds, striking from its simplicity and its brilliancy. It can bo turned over and be- comes a pendant necklace. It is two inches deep in the center and is gradusted off to u depth of half an inch on each side. The or- naments ure pear-shaped, alternated with little spikes contwning smaller brilliants, and the central one contains nive stones, while the end ones con- tain only thi and the whole is mounted on a row of single stoves.

Besido it was an exactly similer spruy in three pieces from Sir Albert Sas. Mr. und Mrs. Arthur Sussoon and Mr. and Mrs, . . Sassoon. Thore was a cuse of seven large diamond stars from the Priuce «©f Wales' suite, which might be used jointly us @ tiara or separately to ornwment the coifture, Buron Ferdinand Rothschild sent aspray of leaves und large flowers in dia monds, Lady Paget sent a | spray of rose leavos and roses, The Duke and Duchess of Manchester scnt & large crescent, five inchies long, of solid diamonds. Mr. and Mrs. Defalke sent @ spray of leaves and flowers in white and roso diamonds. Twoof the most valuable single stones ia the col- lection were a large cabochou ruby, from the Duke aud Duchess of Westminster, and a Burmese cat's eve, from Lord and Lady Rothschid. How wany thousands of guincas each cost must have depended on the dosire of the purchasor and the conscience of the soller, ux either would be diflcult, if not im- possible, to match, The ruby was set simply & penduut surrounded by diwwouds and a big cat's eye, which was a luminous Jball ot Almost "SATURDAY MORNING, “JULY 27, 1889, green fire shining out most prominently.
