INEVITABLE CONFLICT IS NOW AT HAND Representative Government is Formally Ar- rayed Against the Hereditary Form, HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE RESULT Gladstonlan Leaders Express Themselves as Satisficd to Accept the Gauntlet, f Victory in al Contes Fecling Certain the LCopyrighted 1894 by Press Publishing Company 1 LONDON, Feb, 10—(New York World Cable—Special to The Bee)—It scems quite clear from speeches made last night by four members of the Gladstone government and strikingly similar editorfals in the News and Chronicle this morning and the Speaker, a liberal weekly organ, that the liberal lcaders have at last determined to make a vigorous and probably immediate war on the House of Lorde. The House of Commons will meet again next Monday and the annual meeting of the Liberal federation will begin at Portsmouth on the same day. The program of the federation, published today, indicates that “ending or mending"®he lords will be almost the sole topic of discussion, and that the House of Commons must forthwith de- cide whether to accept the amendments by the lords to. the employers' liability and the parish councils bills, or by insisting on the original bills as passed by the Commons pre- cipitate an ominous conflict between the two bodles, The Chronicle frankly says the abo- lition of the House of Lords means revolu- tion, adding: “The lords have temporarily wrecked the three great measures of the season. They have rejected the home rule bill for the pacification of Treland by such just redress as can now be offered for centuries of out- rageous misrule. They have mangled the employers' llability bill in frank contempt for the uranimous claim of the workers to protection of life and limb. They have mauled the parish councils bill in sheer dis- gust that any part of village and parish ad- ministration should be taken out of the hands of the landlords and the parson and be conducted by the people themselves in their own way. The second chamber is an effete institution. It is useless and dangor- ous and should be abolished with all con- venient dispatch.” The News, owned by Arnold Morley, the postmaster general, is not less mandatory and explicit. “Let the qudrrel come,” it exclaims. “We need hardly say what the quarrel is. It is the old controversy between the representa- “tive principle and the hereditary principle. The controversy has now reached an acute stage and calls for immediate settlement.” “Present appearances,” says the Speaker, “indicate that we are on the eve of one of the fiercest struggles on record between the representative chamber and the body that only represents the absurd and exclusive privileges of a narrow caste VOICED IN PUBLIC SPEECH. Henry Campbell Cannerman, secretary of war, spoke at Newcastle last night of the fashion in which the unrepresentative lords have emasculated bills passed by the popu- lar majority in the representative commons, “The lords,” he said, “have asserted the absolute privilege of their order and the sel- fish Interests of themsclyes and friends. Let the quarrel come. There must be no compromise and no yielding on it.” Arnold Morley at Nottingham and Attor- ney General Russell at Weisbech used sub- stantially the same terms, and Prof. Bryce, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, author of “The American Commonwealth,” and regarded as the most conservative mem- ber of the government, expressed perhaps more radical views than his colleagues. “The liberal party,” he said, “'would have preferred to procced with measures of so- clal reform rather than be driven to mend the machinery of the government, If the lords themselves had permitted them to do w0, but if the lords choose to force a conflict, the confliet must be fac>d, and an eftort made to clear away this bar on which so many veisels freighted with useful legislation have been wrecked. What would be the tssuc of a struggle between the hereditary house and the commons of 5l 1 few ould doubt, and the liberal party would be truo to its best traditions in accepting it with promptitude and courage.” Al this, in the present excited state of popular feeling, may present startling events ~ - ¥ithin the coming fortnight. RELEASING THE IRISH FUND, It has been a long time since any for- ward step has been taken toward releasing the Irish relief fund now In Paris, and which was mainly subscribed in the United States, but a report Is current this week that an agreement has been arrived at by which the French lawyers engaged in the suit between the Irish leaders to the effect that on presentation of an application signed by Mr. McCarthy for his side and Dr. Kenny for the Redmondites, the Mossrs, Munroe will hand over to them jointly the $200,000 locked ub In their bank since the Parnellite split. The McCarthyites deny that this particular decision has been ob- tained, but admit that the prospect of an early release is groatly improved. One con- dition that they insist upon is that after the payment of liabilities incurred previous to the split the balance shall be devoted to the reliof of evicted tenants exclusively, It Is estimated that after the payment of claims there would be $150,000 for this pur STOLIR THE FAMILY JEWELS, A robbe at Weybourne house, the resi- dence of Captaln Burns, alde-de-camp of the duke of Connavght, by which Mrs, Charles Pelham Clinten lost jewelry valued at from $8,000 to $10,000, was reported in yesterday papers here. Captain Burns married Miss Forbes Leith of New York and Mrs. Pelham Clinton was Miss Dizerega of New York., A reporter went down to obtain from Captain Burns and Mrs. Clinton full detalls of the bur- glary at Warnham {n Surry.

We were Clinton, smoking ladies speaking of a book and Mr. Clinton said he thought he had it in his room, which is over the billlard room. Both rooms are recent additions to the house and therefore out of the way. He went up stairs and could not open the door. He spoke to one of the ser- vants who been in the room before dinner, and we went to examine. Finally the servant climbed in through a window by a ladder which had been left by the thieves. Things were generally overturned in the room, and Mrs. Pelham Clinton's jewels were gone. The thicves had stolen a ladder from a neighboring farmer, climbed a low fence in front of the house and placed the ladder against the window of this room, which is at one side of the house, and had stuck wedges under the door to prevent surprise. The window is not more than ten feet high This was the remotest part of the house. No servants had been there before dinne The robbery likely took place during din- ner. We do not understand why the thieves picked out at once the room where the valuable and most portable property was to be found. They showed considerable famillarity with the house and neighborhood.” Mrs. Clinton was much distressed by the loss of her jewelry. She would not for sentimental reasons, like to give a detafled list of the articles stolen, but they include valuable diamond tiara, a pair of stars and a number of plec which had been a long time in the ducal family of Pelham Clinton. Her husband is a cousin of the present duke of Newcastle. BISMARCK AND THE KAISER. A telegram from Berlin gives official con- firm to the report exclusively given in the World's Berlin cable of January 27 that the kaiser would speedily return Bismarck's Count Bulenberg, the marshal of the court, said today that the visit will certainly be made this month, but the emperdr has not decided whether he will stop at Fried- richsruh on the way to Wilhelmshaven, whither he goes to assist at the launch of a new man-of-war on the 20th, or on his re- turn to Berlin. I have seen today a letter from Count rt Bismarck to a friend in London, who asked whether the prince could receive lim at Friedrichsruh. In reply he indicates that the prince is not as well as the papers represent. “I hasten to tell you,” writes the count, “that Dr. Schweninger has stopped all visits for some time to come.

The emperor's speech at the recent parlimentary banquet and the fears of a dissolution of the Reichstag which would probably result in a virtual annihilation of the conservatives wero not alone in serving to destroy the artificlal agrarian agitation, which was really eimed at the deposition of Chancel- lor von Caprivi, As time elapsed it was found opportune to get Prince Bismarck's views on the subject. The Hamburger Nuchrichten accordingly exhibits a sudden change of views, probably in anticipation of the emperor's approaching visit to Bismarck, and takes a more conciliatory tone, draw- ing a cautious distinction between the at- tacks on the chancellor and on the govern- ment, declaring the Russian treaty is necessary In consequence of the treaties which Russia and Italy made. Continuing, the Hamburger Nachrichten says it fears a rupture between the great manufecturing and agricultural classes, and advises the government to do its utmost to prevent such a calamity. Count von Eulen- berg, the Prussian premier, has been using his influence on Behalf of the treaty with the leading conservatives and has alrdady met with much success. In addition, the im- perialists were won over by their organ, the Post, warmly advoeating the acceptance of the treaty. The meeting of the Berlin Merchants asso- clation last night was well attended and the adherents of thie treaty were in an immense mafority. The Agrarian league has convened a meeting for February 17 in one of the larg- est halls of Berlin, capable of seating 6,000 people. Reporters will be excluded from this meeting. In addition, a counter movement to the merchants’ dewonstration has been fixed for February 19, and, in the meanwhilo, meetings will be held throughout the coun- try. Néarly all the chambers of commerce will hold meetings in its support. The first indication of the strength of the respective sides will be shown in Parlia- ment in a vote on a precedence motion, sub- mitted by the Agrarian league, and demand- ing a sliding scale and additional dutles against countries with a depreciated cur- rency. This would chiefly affect Austria and Russia, Thg new treaty benefits but little the German cotton industry, because any con- cession granted in this dircction would have to be extended to English manufacturers also, Chancellor von Caprivi’s standing has won- derfully changed. Even those who did not admire him now judge him as a wis man, who, In the matter of treaties, went cautiously step by step, retaining the duty on grain as a means o force Russia into the freaty. Now that the work fis finished and Russia’s concessions greatly exceed ex- pectations, the (reaty policy, as a whole, appears to have been carried out with fore- sight and skill. The text of the Russo-German commercial treaty was published this afternoon. There are twenty-one clauses. It is drawn up in French and approves of the most favored nation treatment and protects the subjects of either contracting party engaged in com- merce or trade against the confiscations of their property by judicial or administrative authorities, Mutual intercourse is not ham- pered by any prohibitions against the im- port or export of merchandise, except in the case of a state trading in monopolies or in the case of the sanitary measures. Vessels of both powers, with certain restrictions, will receive equal treatment. The treaty Is w last ten years, after which it is pos- sible to terminate it after a year's notice on either side. “The new bill for the abolition of certificates of origin provides that merchants, on ex porting wheat, rye, oats, barley or malt, shall receive a warrant entitling them to im- port, duty frce, the same kind of cereals ir &ood condition within six months, Postmaster Steinhan, replying to a de- mand in parliament for cheaper postal rates, declared it would entail too large a reduction of the revenue, and intimated that the amount which the revenue would lose by such a reduction would possibly reach 5,000,000 marks: The duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha has pre- sented the Madgeburg Cuirassiers, of which regiment Prince Bismarck was recently made colonel, with the helmet, culrass and sabre of the late Duke rnest of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha, who held thg coloneley of that regi- ment for forty-four years, Ellnt and Brandt, respectively the litor and sub-editor of the anarchist pub- lication, Socialist, and Weiner, the printer of the paper, have each been sentenced to six months in prison for publishing articles Inciting to outrages.

HONOLULU, Feb. 3 (via steamer Aus- tralia, San Francisco, Feb. 10)—In reply to President Dole's demand for an apology from foreign diplomats, the Japancse consul, Mr. Fuji, expressed his regrets for not attending the provisional celebration on January 17. The [French and Portuguese commissioners also sent regrets, basing their action on the anomalous condition of affairs here. British Minister Woodhouse simply expressed grets for not accepting the invitation. A proposition to import more Chinese la- borers has been defeated. This action is due to the fact that the Japanese government demanded that the importation of Chinese should be controlled by the Japanese gov- ernment. There are indications that serious dis- sensions may occur between the American To- league and the Annexation club, rival fac. tions of the American party. The American league has adopted resolutions afiirming al- legiance to the provisional government and to the cnd that the island may be annexed to the United States. The resolution sug- gests that it annexation is hopeless a pro- tectorate would be acceptable.
