BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
SPEECH OF JOHN MORLEY SEC-
RETARY FOR IRELAND.
Explains the Speech of Premier Rose-
" berry Regarding the Irish Home
Rule Bill Called Down by
Mr. Harrington.
Losdon March 13. Iu the house of
commons today the chief secretary for
Ireland the Right Hon. Joha Morley
said that the references of the Right
Hon. J. Balfour the conservative
leader in the house to the evicted ten-
ants savored of vhidictiveness and re
minded the house that Liberal Union-
A ists speakers had declared in favor of
J?' .the reinstatement of evicted tenants
-- Xipon reasonable terms.
Referring to the conversion of Eng-
land to home rule Mr. John Morley
said that this would be easy aud
rapid but he added the government
did not hold that an English majority
was necessary in order to obtain home
rule for Ireland. Continuing he said
that there was no fear that Lord liose-
berry would do anything to vitiate or
depart from the home rule policy.
Mr.; Morley then referred to Lord
Roseberry's much commented upon
speech of yesterday evening in the
house of lords saying that Lord Rose-
berry in stating that before home rule
was conceded to Ireland the Eugiish
majority must be convinced of its ne-
cessity; meant to say that the home
rule bill would meat the same fate as
before unless the peers are convinced
that the feeling of the English people
favored it. Cheers.
Mr. Morely said that the govern-
ment was not blind to the fact that
English commoners were opposed to
home rule but it was impossible to
distinguish the English and the im-
perial majority adding: "I however
don't wonder at the vigilance suspi-
cion and jealousy exhibited by the
Irish members in spite of their confi-
dence in our good faith when cow-
ardly rumors in regard to dissension
in the cabinet are circulated as
they were vesterday. The honorable
member fc'r the harbor division of
Dublin (Mr. Timothy Harrington)
yesterday found fault with t ur not
instantly repealing the coercion ant
but it is evident that it would be a
waste of time to introduce such a bill."
Mr. Harrington interposed and
quoted Mr. Morley's speech in which
the chief secretary of Ireland said that
the first duty of tbe Liberals on com-
ing Into power would be to repeal that
bill. Loud Parnellite cheers.
Mr. Morley continned remarking
that the government had to choose
between a bill to rep"al the coercion
act and evicted tenants' bill and
added: "It h imnttsible to trace a
hard and fast line re.'im'ing the date
when home rule will be ir t; o.luced.
We frankly admit that in tin e:e of a
bill of such constitutional magnitude
we are bound to prosecute tbciu witn
all the dispatch which the circum-
stances allow having regard tor the
time of the session. It is prema'uro
to expect the government to give a cut
and dried statement as to whether the
home rule bill will be reintroduced
amended or not amended or whether
a dissolution will first be brought
about without another home rule bill
being passed. The government how-
ever is composed of men of honor
who will never flinch from or cease to
adhere to the homo rule policy which
Mr. Gladstone pressed upon1 us.''
Cheers. . !
Mr. John Redmond the Parnellite
leader said that he sympathized with
Mr. Morley's humiliating position iu
explaining Lord Roseberry's utter-
ances and added that he must express
dissatisfaction at the recent declara-
tions of the ministers. His friends
recognized that a general election was
necessary before the home rule bill
could be passed and were afraid that
dissolution would be indefinitely post-
poned and that the home rule would
be strictly shelved.
The leadership of the home rule
policy according to Mr. Redmond had
passed from Mr. Gladstone to men in
whom they the Parnellites had no
strong faith and whose declarations
were haloing and ambiguous. Contin-
uing Mr. Redmond said that ir was
clear from Lord Roseberry's statement
and from Sir William Harcourt's state-
.. tnenr that the home rule bill would
not be introduced in this parliament
and that a dissolution would not occur
untl the whole Newcastle program
had been sent up to the house of lonU
( Mr. Henry Labouelu-re propos-ad au

cussion and considerable excitement

sition of the government.

A mauifeto issued by the National
Reform Union tonight says it is use-
less to hope that popular reforms can
be achieved even by a liberal govern-
ment unless the powers and privileges
of the house of lords "which enables
a selfish and irresponsible clique to
frustrate and mutilate such" be cur-
tailed or abolished . The National Re-
form Union therefore calls for deter-
mined efforts to establh tin self-

THE COURT DID
THE FIGHTING
NOT PUNISH
LAWYERS.
Nothing Sensational Developed in the
Day's Proceedings Unsatisfactory
Attempt to Prove One of the
Plaintiff's Escapades.
Washington March 13. When
court opened today in the Breckin-
ridge Pollard case Judge Bradley
piesidiug said: "I notice the papers
have liiid out a course of procedure
tor me to follow regarding un occur-
reuuejust outside tbe court room after
the court had adjourned yesterday
evening which the court did not see
and which the parties concerned in It
probably regret as much as the court
aoes. It Is not a matter of which the
court can take judicial notice. As it
was past the hour or adjournment
when the plaintiff's counsel had fin-
ished speaking last night and as I
noticed some evidences of excitement
on tbe part of tbe defendant's counsel
1 thought iu best to adjourn tbe court.
Thinking thrt after a night of thought
over the connection in which cemln
words had been used the counsel
might look upon them differently.
Had the trouole referred to taken
place iu court it would have been the
duty of the court to take judicial no-
tice of it and he would have doue so
promptly."
Then after a brief pause. Judge
Bradley proceeded. "There is another
matter ubout which I deem it my
dutv to soeak." The court has re-
celved information that some of the
gentlbtnen representing
anc huve come into ttu
irined. A ti i a law
s mi! r. of i ' t!' i'
the defend-
n- room
iu pun-i-
trying con-
iiugent as I
law abiding
wish it was. This is a
community the courts
are adequate
to protect citizens ana as sucn conauct
is uncalled for it Is more reprehensi-
ble. If the court has information
adequate he will see that prosecution
is begun in the police court of the dis-
trict." Here Mr. Butterworth rose stating
that he had never carried a weapon
aud thought the counsel should be
fivenan opportunity to enter dis-
claimers as he would regret the oc-
currence of such a breach of order as
mucn as the court.
Mr. Shelby Colonel Breckinridge's
partner said he had never carried a
weapon iu his lite. Mr. McKenney
followed with a similar statement
Mr. Stoll declaring that henad never
entered the prenence of a court armed
aud then Mr. Thompson remarked:
"As 1 am the only one loft I will
enter a disclaimer also "
Mr. Carlisle rose to say that he
wiHhed it understood that the infor-
mation had not gome from any of tbe
plaintiffs counsel to which Judge
Bradley assented remarking that it
had been made to him by reputable
parties.
The billigereut episode having thus
been closed Attorney Stell for the de-
fense was asking to be permitted to
make an argument in eupport of his
motion to suppress the depositions
taken the day before the trial when
Judge Bradley interposed: "I hardly
thiuk it necessary as the court was
about to decide In your favor."
The judge excluded the depositions
on the ground that they did not con-
form to the law that they must either
be written by the deponent or by the
notary before whom they were taken
as they were written afterward by
typewriter
An exception to the ruling was
taken tor the plaintiff. Another de-
position that of Mrs. Mary Logfn
taken before notary Lowry Jackson in
Cincinnati was offered for the plain-
tiff and objected to by the defendant.
Mrs. Maiy Logan is a Cincinnati
physician as appeared from the depo-
sition read by Mr. Carlisle. She had
in 1884 treated a young girl obout to
be confined who gave the name ol
Mouica Burgoyne saying her friends
called her "iMoua" and the witness
said that Miss Pollard who was in the
notary's oilice bore some resembleuce
to her although she had doubtless
changed. It was the young woman's
iirscchiid and sbo had represanted
that her husband had died or there
were family reasons lor keeping the
birth a secret.
The people who had deserted the
court began to push back at 2:30 o'clock
when the plaintiff's counsel varied the
monotony by calling a witnoss. The
d nor between the lury bjx and the
hiiis-G oneneii to admit two sisters of
soma s ciety attired iu the black
bonnets and gowns ol their order.
One o them sealed herself beside Mr.
Carlisle while tho other took the
chair iu tbe witness box looking very
pale ana iroumeu at ner unusual po-
sition. Sister Cecelia of the order of Sistera
of Charity of Cincinnati was the name
given she said that in lalil she had
been sister in charge ot the convent at
Norwood O. 10 miles from Cinciu
uati by rail and five by road.
"Do you recall that iu 1885 there
was a nersou there by the name of
Burgoyne?" asked Mr. Carlisle.
'I do not."
"Have you examined the re 'ords of
the institution lately?"
"I have."
Objection to the question of the re
bull of tbe examination was m-nlu.
"Do you remember a female pitient
who was viiUed bynlem:lo doc'or
from Cincinnati?"
"There was one who was visi'ed
twine hv Dr. Mar Street." .
The four volumes of Irving which
had figured mysteriously in the case
were placed before the sister and she
eain:
"I was presented a set of books likei
t-liAsn hv a lid v who had bten a pa
tient in our asylum not long before I
left the asylum in August 188-5
j but I cannot say whether these are
j tho identical ones. I placed them in
! the book-cae of the asylum and left
them there."
"Are these the books? asked Mr
Carlisle.
"I cannot say positively tbat these
are the same books but they look like
mem."
" What is your best opinion on the
question?"
" That they aro the same."
"Do you remember that it was
brought to your attention that one of
your patients was corresponding with
someone through the Cincinnati En-
quirer?" "She told me so. I thought I pre-
Btiaded her to desist; I tried to."
"Do you know Miss .Madeline Pol-
lard?" "I have met her in Washington."
" Would you know her If you should
see her?"
"I would now."
"Did you receive a letter from her?"
'One. It came to me in Pueblo."
''Did she describe in conversation
and by letter the institution aud inci-
dents connected with it in 1885 which
would lead you to identify it?''
"One moment" interposed Attorney
Butterworth objecting to recent de
scriptions of the convent as iintnate
rial.
Judge Wilson replied to the objec-
tions that after nine years had
elapsed it was necessary to depend
sometimes on corroborating circum-
stances for identification.
Col. Shelby counter-argued that the
results of the conversations and letter
after the institution of the suit and
when without making any charges in
this instance it would bo easy to fabri-
cate testimouy were manifestly im-
proper. The hour for adjournment had ar-
rival and as Mr. Butterworth asked
time to consult authorities the court
adjourned.
ATTEMPTED TRAIN ROBBERY
That Occurred in the Fertile Imagination
of Some Festive Drummer.
Little Rock March 13. The fol
lowing story was gleaned from the
passengers arriving on the "cannon
ball" this evening from Texarkana:
A plan to rob the International and
Great Northern north bound express
at McNeil switch near Round Kock
Tex. at 2 o'clock this morning was
frustrated by one of the gang losing
his nerve. The plan to rob the train
has been brewing for a week. The
railroad officials were given a tip that
it was to occur last night and the
whole traiu was heavily guarded.
At Austin one of the gang boarded
the train intending to ask the con-
ductor to stop at McNeil. As the
train approached McNeil the conduc-
tor signaled to slacken speed expect-
ing to be flagged but the robber
aboard had discovered the officers
and failed to give the signal to attack
the train He was however so close-
ly questioned by the officers that he
confessed the plot and agreed to help
trap the gang tonight. He was or-
dered to tell them that there was a
company of rangers aboard last night
but to stop the train tonight when
they will be given a repetition of the
St. Joe Mo. reception.
