T very painful bewildering as .well to the British and ation lies, however, quite on the su The “total -opposition in the | new Commons amounts to only 259 mem- bers, of whom the Irish ‘Nationalisis (83) are by far the most potential -third. . They represent, indeed, the only considerable faction of the opposition which - knows what it wants or feels like taking the trou- ble to make its wants known. The British Liberals temporarily have had the fight knocked out of them, & large number. of Wiheir leaders have disappeared and those wha are left are anxiousto lie low, and. will says as little as possible i.r a year or so. On the other hand, the Irish have returned with increased menrbers all cock-a~whoop for combat. Their spirit was portrayed last ht in Healy’s remarkable speech when he said: ‘“We look across at your great majority without awe. It represents merely the fluctuating spasms of English politics, while we stand for the permanent forces of Irish nationality.” Hence it is not strange that in the new Bouse the Irish from the outset should take the lead in opposition and force the fighting. The argument that nothing can be gained by fighting, which appeals so strongly to the scattered and disheartened English, Scotch and Welsh groups of Lib- has no meaning to the Irish, who have grown up accustomed to struggle against overwhelming odds. It should be said, too, that the rank and file of the Irish. party are much happier in their minds about internal matters than they had expected to be. They took the bit in their own teeth yesterday and forced their committee to abandon its suicidal preten- sions to dictatorship inside the party. Not only were Healy, Arthur O’Connor and Knox elected on the body, but others were given plainly to understand that any fu- ture nonsense of jockeying constituencies or of using the party purse as a factional corruption fund would be sharply pun- ished by the majority of the party. This gives ground for hope that the con- spiracy of inferior men to shut Healy out of public life has received its death blow. His speech. of last night, which is treated by the whole press to-day as the event of the session, was backed by the cheers of his united party as the authoritative deliv- erance of aleader. - It-was cleariy the. effect of this speech which dictated the result in the committee- room ‘after it, when a party secret ballot for committee placed Healy at the head of the poll with thirty-ome votes, abreast of Dillon .and Blake, and above all others. Two of Healy’s oldest supporters refused "0 vote £t all, on_the theory that it was of 10 use. If they had voted he would have bad-the majority of thié committee.. The remaining’ vacancies in Ireland -are ex- pected to be filled by his friends, which will give him’ practically- a half of the party, and as he has no dream of punish- ing or ostracizing anybody, there is a chance at last of some decent semblance of union in the-party. X Next week we will. doubtless be im- mersed in anxious discussions about the Mekong, as was foreshadowed in these dispatches: England has lodged a protest against the Franco-Chinese treaty, and-on Tuesday the official statement is expected in Parliament on the present state of this very genuine complication. France has repudiated éntirely an agreement to estab- lish ‘a buffer state between Burmah and Ler Biamese acquisitions, and .has per- suaded or compeiled” China to cede to her territory which is really British.and is now occupied by British garrisons. The Eng- lish are alsointrenched at Mong Sin, on the east bank of the Mennong, which the French say they must quit. All attempts to compromise matters on’ the ground had been abandoned before the Chinese treaty added fresh complications, and no one now sees how’ either country may withdraw without grave loss-of prestige.” Almost equally depressing is the dispute with the French on the Niger, of which the Tires says it is impossible that England should accept any compromise. There also hangs’in the offing a consider- able number of other Anglo-French quar- vels, of.which that in. Egypt is always "i' ady to be thrust forward into awkward prominence. 5 The avowed French. policy for years back has been to accumulate these griev-| ances, or pretexts for. grievance against | ingland, nurse each in. turn, and part with none, on the theory of finally forcing England into a_corner, where she will be compelled to’ surrender something: valu- able as.the price of an all around settle- ment. -Often in the course of this process thie two nations have growled and shown their feeth, but actual rupture has always been avoided: Each time, however, this postponement eof trouble- becomes more di; ult, . for the -reason’ that the.French continually turning up with fresh claims, and ‘there is, consequently, in- creasing danger that England will lose its termaper. | wonder often.-at the self-re- straint -that the English press and :poli- ticians show in this matter year after year. Of course .this country’s interests ‘are deeply involved in neace, but it argues re- markable qualities to be able constantly to keep thisin mind and never yield to im- patient anger. The long:bottled-up rage will be some- thing to see if it ever does burst the bonds. Tlie English press.could in a day raise the whole country into a flaming ferment if it chose to do so, hence it is useful to note Flml the Times the last-week has been talk- ing much more gravely about the Mekong and the Niger than ever before and that an official statement on thé former subject has been promised by Sectetary Curzon for | next week. The Bulgarian question is for the mo- | ment in statu quo. Signs seem to point | just” now to Prince Ferdinand having | his boy baptized in the Orthodox Greek: church in ~ the belief that| this will go far toward placating Rus- | sia. It is perfectly understood that this will be of no good and it is difficult to be- lieve that he knows so little of the actual political facts of thec Meanwhile the Macedonian disorder, which is really due to the invasion of an armed Bulgarian band, is again attracting attention. The Turkish troops are admittedly be- having with extreme caution, and the out- rages thus far are altogether on the other side, yet the chance that this miserable | farce may embroil Europe continue to ex- | cite public apprehension. At the Foreign | Office they hear to-night that the Spanish | republican rising, so called, isof no im-| portance. It isdue to the weakening of | the garrisons on account of the Cuban ne- | cessity, but plenty of troops are left to take [ care-of these marauders, who have no pop- | ular support whatever. The north of England is still talking- of | nothing but the extraordinary German | Imperor and of his flying visit to West- | moreland, which, brief as it was, sufficed | to create a whole cloud of legends of his | imperial eccentricity. His passion for fa- | rious driving attracted perhaps most atten- | tion, even in the district where the wild Lowthers have raced horse flesh to death since the Norman days, but he did many other things equally interesting. London, as usual, has seen nothing of him, and | here the principal curiosity is what on earth he can have found in Earl Lonsdale, who is by two years his senior, to ‘5o capti- | vate him. Certain it is that a prodigious friendship has sprung up between the two and Lons- | dale, when he -attends the big German maneuvers next month, is to be treated as a special imperial guest, as if he werea royal personage. These maneuvers, involving an unpre- cedented force of army corps, are to be ushered in hy a great celebration at Berli: of the twenty-fifth Sedan anniversary. These commemorations have been proceed- | ing now for nearly a fortnight, and though | littie attention has been paid to them out- | side, the feeling in both countries all along | the Austrian frontier has been deeply | stirred. Both Governments have done all | in their power, it must be said, to minimize the chances of friction. Yesterday in and | about Mars la Tour the various ‘battle- | fields, which lie some on one side of the frontier and some on the other, were visited by thousands of people with wreaths, and civilians of both nationalities were- freely allowed to cross the line, but troops were kept out-of sight of each other. A procession of 100 German veterans in citizens'. clothes penetrated to Mars la | Tour and moved through the streets to the | burial places, . Their comrades took off | their hats and bowed incessantly to the in- | habitants. These latter mostly stopped in- | doors, but the rest regarded the pilgrims | coolly and said nothing.

The Senator’s Following Then Held a Convention of Its Own. WHITE METAL ADVOCATES WON. Ringing Resolutions Adopted De- manding Free and Unlimited Colnage. CLEVELAND, Onro, Aug. 17.—Free sil- ver won a signal victory to-day in the Democratic county convention to select delegates to the State convention next | Thursday in Springfield. The silver men went into the convention with the avowed .determination to passa sixteen to one resolution and to throw the strength of the county against Senator Cal- vin 8. Brice, who hopes to be returned to the Senate should the next Legislature be Democratic. The test vote on chairman succeeded in the seating of Hon. Alfred Whitaker, the silver party’s candidate for chairman, by a Seeing that they were hopelessly defeated, the Brice crowd picked aquarrel with the house, withdrew ina body and held a rump convention else- where, selecting a contesting delegation to go to Springfield. The real convention then passed the following resolutions by a unanimous vote: Resolved, That gold and silver coins, not one to the exclusion of the other, but alike, are the money of the constitution; that a monetary system based upon the free coinage of both precions metals has a broader foundation and is less liabletc fluctuation than monometal- ism. That we denounce the Republican legislation which demonetized silver, and the policy that discriminates against the silver dollars and makes them tokens instead of using them as legal tender money. That we hold to the use of both gold and sil- ver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and silver without ‘Qiscriminating against either metal or charge for minting. That the dollar unit of coinage ot both metals will be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value under free coinage. That we favor the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the payment of debts, and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and | reaeemablein cofn. That we are in favor of the re-enactment of the law for opening of the mintsto the free coinage of silver and gold on & ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for an international agree- ment, and we insist upon this policy as espe- cially necessary for the protection of the farm- s, manufacturers and laboring classes, the first and most defenseless victims of an un- stable, a fluctusting and decreasing currency. The following resclution condemnatory of Senator Brice was also adopted : That the delegation re-elected to-day be in- ucted to vote as a unit in favor of any proposition which will lead to the retirement of Calvin 8. Brice as Senator and as a leader in the Demoeratic party. Reabot speeches condemning Brice were | made by several men prominent ‘n State politics. F¥OR THE CONVENTION. San Francisco Making a Good Fight to Secure the Prise. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 17.—The presence in this city to-day of Senator Carter, chairman of the Republican National executive committee, calls at- tention to the fact that but little more than four months will elapse before the committee will meet and selett a place for holding the next National Convention of the party. The list of cities already in the field and CAX. n in ]y : CERONICLE. I PRAL N TTRIN fi —_— ‘mnnw@lufinflll more or less actively working for the con- vention is as follows: San Francisco, Buffalo, Pittsburg, Denver, Baltimore, Washington, Kansas City, New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Omaha, Cincin- nati, Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee and, of course, Chicago. The most active cities bidding are San Francisco, Buffalo, Denver and Pittsburg. Those passively engaged in the fight are St. Louis, Philadelphia, New York, Omaha, Cleveland, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Wash- ington and Kansas City. Denver entered the race at least three years ago. Consid- erable work has been aone by advocates of this city, but very little has been ac- complished, so far as can be ascertained, up to the present time. E£x-Senator Platt is understood to favor New York, but it makes very little aiffer- ence to him where the convention is held, provided that he has a voice in naming candidates and that his views are consid- ered when the next National platform is being discussed. Philadelphia being con- sidered a very ‘“slow’’ town, is probably the least active of the biz cities of the East looked upon as anxious to have the convention. Milwaukee is also a passive candidate, and Omaha, Kansas City aud 8t. Louis are only in the list hoping that if there is a flerce contest the prize may be captured as a rank outsider in a horserace sometimes wins the biggest stakes. The Evening Times says: “The Pacific Coast metropolis is evi- dently holding out more inducements than any other candidate in the list. Buffalo has also been doing some very good mis- sionary work in the interest of that town, a huge committee having been appointed some time ago to look after its interests, both in advance and at the time the Re- publican National Committee assembles in Washington.” INDICTED FOR MURDER Dr. Hearne and Wife to Be Tried for the Murder of Stilwell. | Reopening of a Celebrated Case in a Most Sensational Manner. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 17.—A special to the United Press from Hannibal, Mo., says that a Grand Jury indictment was returned this afternoon against Dr. J. C. Hearne and his wife for murder in the first degree for killing Moses J. Stilwell on December 31,1888. The accused were at once ar- rested and are now in jail. This reopens the celebrated tragedy. Mrs. Hearne was at the time of the mur- der the wife of Mr. Stilwell and Dr. Hearne was their family physician. Their actions both prior and subsequent to the murder aroused suspicion. Mrs. Stilwell successfully fought a rigid legal inquiry into her possible connection with the murder, and a year siter married Dr. Hearne. They removed to California. A San Francisco paper retold the story of the crime and used such pointed allusions to Mrs. Hearne that her husband sued the owner of the paper for heavy damages. Depositions were taken in the damage suit before a notary of Hannibal. New and startling evidence was forthcoming, and the Grand Jury again took up the case, with the result stated. —_— Terrible Dynam ite Explosion. MAHAFFEY, Pa., Aug. 17.—A terrible explosion occurred last night near the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, in which eight Italians lost their lives and ten were seriously injured. The men were | preparing a large quantity of dynamite for blasting purposes, when from some un- known cause a premature explosion oc- curred. Eight men were kxilled instantly, their remains being scattered for a long distance. All were frightfully mangled. Some of the injured were areadfully hurt, and may not survive.

How He Lost the Soft Place of Minister to Mexico. HIS SALARY TIED UP. It Will Be Held to Make Good the Sums lllegally Drawn by Him. IMPORTANCE OF THE DECISION. By His Action the Solicitor-General Has Upheld Bowler in the Sugar Cases. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 17.—The opinion of Acting Attornev-General Con- rad that ex-Senator Ransom was disquali- fied from appointment to the Mexican mis- sion because of the constitutional pro- vision relating to the appointment of Senators and representatives to civil office, the emoluments of which were received during the term for which they were elected, was based on the question whether an appointment dated from the time of nomination or from the time the commis- sion was signed. In deciding Mr. Ran- som’s case, the acting Attorney-General laid down the rule that the appointment of a civil officer in the civil service dates from his confirmation by the Senate, which is construed to mean the completion of the appointment according to6 the con- stitution. Mr. Ransom was nominated February 28 last, before his term of office as Senator had ended, but his commission was not signed by the President until March 5, the day after he ceased to hold the legislative position. There is nothing in the commis- sion, however, to show when it was signed. It bears date of February 23, and ap- parently .left no loophole to decide that Mr., Ransom’s appointment was constitu- tional on the ground that his Senatorial term had expired before the President’s signature was actually attached to the com- mission. It is probable the text of the opinion will be made public as soon as a copy of it can reach Ransom at Weldon, N.C. The Treasury Department records show that ex-Senator Ransom has drawn in salary and expenses as Minister to Mexico about $5000, of which $4275 was for salary up to June 1. The last payment made to him was on June 22 for $1490, which in- cluded his May salary. Now that the legal phase of the case has been settled adversely to Mr. Ransom, Auditor Hol- comb, who is responsible.for all moneys wrongfully paid through his office, will, following his usual custom, in case Mr. Ransom is reappointed, withhold his sal- ary until the accumulation equals the amount wrongfully paid him. This only, of course, in case Mr. Ransom does not straighten out the matter by re- turning all the money heretofore paid him and appeal to Congress for the repayment of the salary thus returned. The decision of Solictor-General Conrad on the Ransom case, while not yet offi- cially announced, goes even further, it is said, than the mere declaration that Mr. Ransom was disqualified. Incidentally it touches upon the power of the Auditor of the Treasury and Comptroller to hold up accounts, when the law is unconstitu- tional, and inferentially, if not in words, inclines to support the position taken by Comprroller Bowler in the sugar-bounty claims. BOLD JAIL DELIVERY. Sixe Prisoners Escaped From an Ohio County Prison. TOLEDO, On1o, Aug. 17.—A remarkably bold and successful jail delivery took place here this morning, when six men walked out of the Lucas County Jail and disap- peared from view. Notwithstanding that CROCEKER. How «THE CALL” BUILDING WILL COMPARE “WITH OTHER HIGH STRUCTURES IN SAN FRANCISCO, the whole police force has been looking for them they have not, up to this time, been found. Atabout 9 o'clock this morning Turnkey Mosher very imprudently went into the jail corridor to get shaved by the prison barber. A number of prisoners were free in the corridor at the time. Mosher seated himself in the chair and the barber proceeded to lather his face pre- paratory to using the razor. Just at this moment six of the prisoners, who had been cautiously approaching, jumped on him and easily overpowered and gagged him. They took away his keys and his handcuifs, using the latter on his own hands. Then they dragged him to a cell and locked him in. After that it was all plain sailing. The men simply un- locked the door and walked out. The turnkey was unable to make a noise and could not summon help. The prisoners had been gone for a whole hour before their escape was discovered. e gaden PHILLIPS LEVANTED. - The City Clerk of Beatrice a Fugitive From Justice. BEATRICE, NEBE., Aug. 17.—City Clerk J. T. Dhillips, arrested yesterday on the charge of forging city warrants, has fled from the city. When an examination of his accounts began this morning, the proof of his guilt seemed so strong that his bondsmen surrendered him. Phillips evi- dently got news of this action, for an hour later when a search for him was made he was missing. A farmer coming to the city says he saw Phillips in a cornfield several miles out, and a later report from a near-by town says he boarded the southbound Rock Island train at that place. An effort will be made to capture him. The amount of his shortage is not yet known. PERY DED BY A WOWA Mrs. Haswell Bribed Keeper Hopkins to Secure His Release. Posed as a Misslonary and Fre- quently Carried Religious Tracts to His Cell. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., Aug. 17.— William A. Hopkins, a well-known resi- dent of Low Point, is locked up in the jail in this city on a charge of aiding and abet- ting the commission of a felony in bring- ing about the escape of train robber Perry and five other convicts from the Matteawan Asylum last April. Hopkins has admitted his guilt, and implicates Mrs. Amelia Has- well, a Troy woman, who poses as a mis- sionary, and a friend of Perry in the plot to let the men escape. Mrs. Haswell is now at Ocean Groye. She will be arrested, and as Hopkins has expressed to District Attorney Wood his willingness to turn State’s evidence, the officials expect to convict the woman and land her in prison. Hopkins was a keeper in the Matteawan Asylum. When Perry was admitted there the two men got acquainted, but what ne- gotiations passed between them at first is not known. At any rate, on October 28 last, Hopkins received through the Glen- ham Postoffice a package containing dia- monds, a gold watch and various articles of jewelry, the estimated value of the lot being $1000. The package came from Mrs. Haswell, the Troy “missionary,” and, as the authorities have since learned, given to Hopkins in consideration of his agree- ment to aid Perry to escape. Hopkins turned the jewelry into cash, but it is said realized less than $300 for the lot. The jewelry was a part of that which Perry got in the first. American Express robbery at Utica and which he turned over to his Troy friend, Mrs. Haswell, be- fore he was arrested. After Perry's transfer to Matteawan Mrs. Haswell visited him many times, and no one suspected that she was anything but the missionary that she claimed to be. She brought Bibles and religious papers and the train-robber called her ‘“‘mother” and told those about him how much good she was doing him spiritually. The fall and winter wore on without Hopkins carrying out his part of the bar- gain. Finally Perry got mad and threat- ened to expose him. This was in February, and the keeper, fearing exposure, went to Newburg and secured two blank keys and a file. Then Convict McGuire, who is an expert burglar, was taken into the scheme. Using Hopkins’ keys for models, McGuire fashioned the two keys with which, in April, he opened the doors of his own and four other rooms and liberated besides himsels, Perry, Quigly, Davis and O’'Don- nell. After his capture he claimed that he made the keys from spoons. There were two locks on McGuire’s door. He could reach only one of them with his keys, and he has recently confessed that Hopkins unlocked the lower of the two locks on the night the men escaped, o, that after un- locking the upper lock himself, he was able to leave the cell. B TWICE WON HIS BRIDE. William Wilson Soon Had a Chance to Show His Devotion. ‘WICHITA,Kaxs.,Aug. 17.—WilliamWil- son of Dover, O. T., won a wife twice over to-day mn a most romantic love-like man- ner. Young Wilson and his sweetheart drove from Dover to Kingfisher this morn- ing and were married there. Returning the horses became fast in the yieiding quicksand of the Gimarron River, which they attempted to ford, and in their fran- tic efforts to release themselves, overturned the bngEy. The bride sank, and when rescued by her husband after a hard strug- le was unconscious. The horses were rowned and the buggy lost. P e i Forged His Brother’s Signature. BLAIR, NEBR., Aug. 17.—The County Attorney to-day secured the arrestof J. H. Stewart, the prominent merchant who fajled last month, on a charge of having forged his brother’s signature to $75,000 in notes. Stewart was remanded to jail, but was able to easily secure bondsmen and was released. It is thought that he will certainly be proven guilty, as his brother has stated under oath that his signatures are forgeries. Stewart was_a leading man in business and church circles, and was treasurer for various societies. T Struck a Sunken Wreck. AMHERSTBURG, O~r., Aug. 17.—The steamer Montana, bound down with flour, struck a sunken wreck about 3 o’clock this morning and had to be beached to save her from sinking. Her hold is full of water and_the cargo ruined. She will be light- ened to-day and taken to Detroit. There were zo lights to mark the position of the wrec! i RUSHING THE WORK, Valley Road Grade North of Mormon Channel Commenced. NO TIME BEING LOST. Track-Laying Along This Sec= tion Will Soon Be Under Weay. THE CORRAL HOLLOW LINE: Arrival of Addltional Material for the Railroad to the Coal Mines. STOCKTON, CArn., Aug. 17.—There will be no more opposition to the Corral Hol- low road on the pgrt of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Railway. Chief En- gineer Storey of the latter road is author- ity for this statement. This morning he said * “We do not intend to oppose the Corral Hollow road further. We were simply looking out for our own interests when we went before the City Council and pro- tested against the granting to that road of the franchise on Weber avenue to lay tracks between our line and the water front, unless we were granted more room. Now that we are to receive the additional 150 feet on Weber avenue east of where the line stops under the present franchise we are perfectly satisfied. This will give us plenty of water frontage for the trans- action of our business, and we shall not oppose the other road any further, As I said before, we were only looking out for our own interests on the water front, and had nothing to urge against the Corral Hollow road itself.” “One of the San Francisco papers stated that the Corral Hollow project was a Southern Pacific scheme. Do you know anything about it?"’ was asked. Mr. Storey laughed at the idea. “Ido not, of course, know what the future may bring,” he said, “but I am confident that the Southern Pacific is not now behind the coal road.” Five more carloads of rails for the Corral Hollow road arrived to-day, making thirty-nine that have arrived all told. There are still on the road thirty-two or thirty-three carloads more of rails and four carloads of angle plates, spikes, etc. The Valley road employes this morning began the work of excavating for tracks on ‘Weber avenue. The work commenced at Madison street, where the line as contem- plated in its present franchise ends. Mr. Storey said that track-laying would probably begin there at once, asthe com- pany did not desire to have the street torn up any longer than possible. This is the first grading that has been done north of Mormon Channel. The work will now be pushed as rapidly as possible on both sides of the channel. Last evening a track had been laid alongall of the ma- terial for the Valley road. Another track will be laid across the yard, running west from the one put down yesterday. The work of grading outside of the city will commence Monday morning. Grant Bros., the contractors, have an outfit here ready to begin at that time. Cotton Bros., who have the contract for building bridges und trestles between Stockton and Stanis- laus River, have a representative, and have also received some of the machinery for bridge - building. The material is fur- nished by the railroad company. The contractors are charged with it, and are credited when the bridge or trestle in which it is used is accepted. Monday will be a busy day both in Stockton and out- side the city limits. The grading for the section north of Mormon Channel will commence then, as well as on that portion of the road between this city and the Stan- islaus River. Chief Engineer Storey of the Valley road returned to-night to San Francisco. He spent yesterday and to-day looking after the first track-laying and the prepar- ations for the work which is to be com- menced on Monday. The Grant Brothers number three, whose initials are, \respectively, A. A., John R. and L. A. The last named is in Los Angeles and will not come here. The others arrived by boat this morning and are staying at the Yotemite House. “We shall require sixty-five or seventy men all told,” said A. A. Grant to-day. ‘We have brought about twenty experienced hands with us—old employes of ours. Since our arrival many people have ap- plied for work. There is no trouble about all the labor we want. The work will be done entirely with scrapers, which we now have. Consequently the men we employ must be able to handle horses. For additional Pacific Coast news see Pages § and §.
