London, Oct. 20.—Gladstone address
ed an audience of 6,000 persons in Drill
hall to-day at Derby. He was supported
liy Sir William Vernon Hareourt and
Baron Wolverton.
Mr. Gladstone said their opponents
were growing weaker while their own
forces were becoming stronger. He was
accused of co-operating with those whom
he once denounced as marching with ra-
pine and murder towards disintegration
of the empire, all the objections then
presented had passed away. He did not
believe that any Irish member
of parliamnnt "now contemplated
or desired the membership of the em-
pire, they wanted union of hearts and
not union of parchment of paper. Why,
lie asked, he be accused of gross incon-
sistency because he allied himself with
Mr. Parnell and the Irish party who were
acting on the lines of moderation, which
assuredly would in the end secure home
rule?' He flatly denied that his course
was inconsistent. When told that he had
passed the coercion measures, lie could
only say that a measure such as was con-
tested at the latest session of parliament
had never been passed while he was
in oflice. That measure was not aimed
at the suppression of crime so much as at
the liberty of the right of public meeting,
as its application proved it had been used
in such manner as to painfully and fla-
grantly to show that its provision wcie
different from those of any act previousj
ly passed; it was more subble and pierc-
ing and more fatal to the liberty of the
people than any bill hitherto passed.
Coercion had utterly failed, instead of
trying to drive the disease in which he
believed the liberals had found a plan
which would, by their home rule scheme,
solve the formidable problem. It
was said that Ireland consisted
of two nations. Italy was once in the
same condition, but parties there co-
alesced and formed one united kingdom.
Gladstone said he believed the people of
Ulster were simply laboring under a mis-
understanding. They doubtless wanted
the assurance that the connection be-
tween Ireland and England would be
maintained. It was an utter mistake to
suppose that any action of the liberal
)>arty would have any other result. He
believed that satisfactory arrangements
could be made by which Ulster would be
united by the rest of Ireland, and that in
the end all would give willing obedience
to the queen. On leaving the hall Glad
stone was heartily cheered.
Mormon Matters.
Sm.t Lake City, Oct, 2),—In the terri-
torial supreme court to-day, in arguing
the appointment of a receiver for the
church property, Colonel Broadhcad, for
the Mormon church, claimed that con
gress was powerless to pass a law under'
which these proceedings were instituted.
Property rights had become vested in the
church, its charter contract existed over
thirty years, the property acquired under
it could not he confiscated or diverted
without compensation and due process of
law. In purview of the construction of
the constitution which this law in ques-
tion is not, but "an act of spoliation," is
repugnant to the constitution ami to
American ideas.
United States Attorney Hobson, of
Colorado, is here to represent the
government. He replied to Broadhcad by-
arguing that the act of congress reserved
the full power and right to annul or re-
voke the legislative enactments of this
territory; the acts of incorporation of
the church were granted and accepted
with this limitation in 1862 ; congress
limited the church holdings to $50,000,
and all the Mormon church property,
both real and personal, had been acquir-
ed in defiance of this law. No land titles
were obtained here from the government
till some years after the passage of that
law A further statute of 18(12 specified
no property acquired should be used to
uphold polygamy or immorality, whereas
it is notorious that every power and ener-
gy of the Mormon church has been
executed contrary to this, therefore con,
gress had a right to enforce the requires
ments, and the church stopped from
pleading vested rights or lack of notice,
these proceedings simply bringing to
judgment the flagrant and defiant of
fender, even though n<> reservation ex-
isted in the organic act congress being
authority whenever territorial condition
and powers deserved, has necessary su-
preme and questioned jurisdiction to
wind up the affairs of the treasonable
and lawless organization, and distribute
its property acquired in the face of con-
gressional restriction. The arguments
will be continued to-morrow when Ex-
Senator McDonald, of Indiana, will
speak.
I.ondon Gossip.
London, Oct. 20.—Gladstone received
an address from the Irish residents of
Nottingham to-day replying to the ad-
dress. Gladstone expressed a conviction
that the discord bet ween Catholics and
protestants would cease when home rule
was established in Ireland.
The steamer Upupa collided and sunk
the German bark Planteur, off Beaehy
Head on Tuesday. Eleven persons were
drowned and the captain of the bark has
since died. Only two of the crew sur-
vived.
Gladstone arrived at Derby to-day. An
enthusiastic crowd tilled the streets and
he was given a very warm welcome. He
will be the guest of Lord Vernon at Sud-
berry hall until Monday, when he will go
to Sudley in Warwickshire. In a speech
replying to those persons who had crit-
icized his conduct, he said the policy of
the national par .y did not include rapine.
The demands of the nationalists had been
moderate since 1881. It was not true
that they desired to dismember the em-
pire, and there was no reason why he
should not approve of their conduct.
Right Hon. Alexander James Beersford
Hope, liberal conservative member of
parliament, is dead.
Lord llandolph Churchill, in a specch
at Sunderland to-day, denounced as im-
moral, Gladstone's proffer to make the
re-establishment of the Church in Wales
a plank of the liberal platform. This is
the return for the support of his Irish
scheme.
Wilful Murder.
Duiimn, Oct. 20.—An application was
made before Judge O'Brien, of the court
of the Queen's bench, here to-day for a
writ of certiorari to quash the verdict of
wilful murder rendered by the coroner's
jury against the policemen who did the
shooting at Mitcheilstown, the applica-
tion being unopposed by the attorney-
general.
Iteuioved From Hi* Fos«.
Paws, Oct. 20.—It is officially an-
nounced this afternoon that General
Caffarel has been removed from his post
of chief of staff of the war office, anil
that his name' has been struck from the
army list. He will receive a yearly pen-
sion of 8,000 francs. The council of the
legion of honor has recommended that
his name be struck from the list of mem-
bers of the legion, and that he be de-
prived of the privilege of wearing the
decoration of the order.

The Printers.
Chicago, Oct. 20.--The employing
printers convention devoted the greater
part of to-day to discussing the nine-hour
question. Permanent organization was
affected and officers elected as follows :
President, Theodore L. Divinney, New
York ; corresponding secretary, S. Slaw-
son, St. Louis; recording secretary,
James Davidson, St. Louis; treasurer, A.
O. Russell, Cincinnati. The convention
adjourned to meet in October, 1888.
A conference of the committee of the
International Typographical Union to-
night gave out the full load of corres-
pondence which passed between them and
the typothelfe. The substance of which
shows that after several conferences the
typothclie gave their ultimatum that the
present condition of trade demanded that
eight hours shall constitute a day's work,
but should particular locations "or offices
in special lines of trade in any locality,
consider it to their advantage to work
nine hours per day at a pro rata of the
same, it shall be their privilege to do so.
This the ultimatum committee of the
union rejected, but expressed a willing-
ness to hear any further proposition
front'*the employes. The men have of-
fered to instruct subordinate uuious to
put the nine hour in force November 1st,
with proportionate reduction in wages,
over-time to be paid for at pro rata rale.
It Was-to t,liis proposal that the ultimatum
of typolhclte was returned.
The Knights Labor.
Minneapolis, Oct. 20,—Most of the
delegates to the general assembly of the
Eights of Labor have returned to their
homes. Mr. Powderly has gone to Mil-
waukee, his mission it is understood, be-
ing to endeavor to conciliate the seceded
gambrinias assembly of that city. Mem-
bers of the crippled co-operative board
held a brief session to-day and completed
the routine work of tlve board. It was
resolved to present a written communi-
cation to the general executive board
asking for the $400,000 appropriated by
the Richmond convention for the use of
the board. It is understood that the re-
quest will not be granted. N» provision
was made for this important branch of
the order at all, the assembly in fact,
killed the usefulness of the board for the
coming year at least, by taking away the
only source of revenue it has, voting that
it be not compulsory on the
part of assemblies to pay
their assessments to maintain the board.
This leaves the board just where it was
before the Richmond convention. J. P.
MeGaugherty, secretary of the board,
said to-day the board would not be able
to do anything the coming year. The
terms of the two members of the boa"d
have expired, but no provision was made
to till the vacancy. General Master
Workman Powderly, in an interview,
expressed himself very well satisfied with
the result of the assembly. He says the
abolition of the assistance fund particu-
larly will be very beneficial, as it will
tend to take the premium of strikes. He
does not look for any serious labor trou
hies during the present year, and says if
snv difficulties do arise they will be set
tied by arbitration.
Rascally Detectives.
Moscow, Oct. 20.—Eleven detective
officers have just been found guilty of
conniving at crimes of notorious rob-
bers. Five of them were sentenced to
hard labor in the minei of Siberia, the
others to various terms of imprisonment.

Tampa, Florida, Oct. 20.—Fourteen-

lite Presidential Party.
Montoomkhy, Ala., Oct. 20.—After a
good night's rest on the special train
President Cleveland arrived at 8 o'clock
this morning. There were the usual
large crowds in waiting. Commerce
street, from the station to the hotel
nearly half a mile away, was lined by
troops, who kept the wide avenue open.
Governor Seay, Mayor Reese and Colonel
Newman, president of the state agri-
cultural society, who omposed
the reception committee, conducted the
guests at once to the hotel. At the hotel
Senator Pugh, Senator Morgan, the mem-
bers of the governor's staff, the president
of the senate and the speaker of the
house, Ex-Governor O'Neal, Congress-
man Davidson and a number of ladies
greeted the city's guests in the hotel par-
lors, where half an hour was spent in
making or renewing acquaintances. The
presidential party after breakfast re-
viewed the troops from the balcony of
the hotel. There were about 1,000 men
in the column. The president this morn-
ing received a telegram from the mayor
of New Orleans stating that a com-
mittee is on the way to
ask that the trip be extended
to that city, Colonel Lamont replied that
the president's limited time made com-
pliance with the request impossible. Af-
ter the review Mrs. Cleveland was the
surprised recipient of a unique and beau-
tiful souvenir, a jewel case in the form of
a bale of cotton. It is made of pure sil
ver and is a very artistic production. In-
side of the cover is the inscription "Pre-
sented to Mrs. Grover Cleveland by the
Mayor and City Council as a token of
their kind regard on the occasion of her
visit to Montgomery, Alabama, October
20, 1887." The presentation was made
by Mayor Reese in the name of the mu-
nicipality. On the arrival of!
the party at the fair j
grounds the welcoming address was de- i
livered by the governor, to which the
president replied as follows :
" I am very glad to be able at the con
elusion of a most delightful, and I hope
improving series of visits throughout the
country, to see a little of the state of Al-
abama and its people and its capital city.
I believe that no southern state within
itself has more wealth than the state of
Alabama." The president went on to
say, " Every ton of iron you are enabled
to furnish a northern state goes far to-
ward destroying sectional feeling, your
fellow countrymen appreciate the value
of intimate and profitable butiness rela-
tions with you. and there need be no fear
that tliey will permit them to be destroy-1
ed or endangered by designing dema-
gogues.- The wickedness of these parti-
sans who seek to aid their ami it o is
schemes by engendering hate among a
people iB fast meeting with exposure,
and yet there is, and should be, an in-
stance upon a strict adherence to the
settlement which hits been made dis-
puted questions, and upon the reserved
acceptance of such settlement,. Over
this I believe no business considera
tion should prevail, and 1 firmly
b lieve that there is American fairness
abroad in the land to insure a proper and
substantial recognition of the good faith
which you have exhibited." The presi-
dent then spoke of the importance of ed-
ucation and the Stimulus which the exlii
bitions of products gives to the material
interests of a state aud concluded by say
ing: "I shall return to my official duty
grateful to the people of your state aud
capital for the cordiality of their wel-
come, fully impressed with the greatness
of Alabama, but also with
the feeling that she can not
evade, if she would, the responsibility to
the entire country, which her greatness
and commanding position have placed
upon her." The president was frequent
ly interrupted in his speach to day by ap-
plause and occasionally by a
fervent interjection, "God bless you."
From the speaking Stand the party were
escorted in their carriages about the fair
grounds for the purpose of giving the
people an opportunity to see the presi-
dent. The special train was brought to
the fair grounds which the presidential
party boarded at I o'clock and started
for Washington.
Komk, Ga., Oct. 20.—Ten thou-
sand people gathered at the depot
to.night to greet President and Mr?.
Cleveland, and huge bonfires blazed
up and down the track, and over it were
thrown two arches. When the train arj
rived the president in charge of the re
ception committee stepped to the plat-
form, aud as soon as the cheers subsided,
John T. Graves introduced the president.
The llritlsh Sealers.
Washington, Oct. 20.—Correspon-
dence between the department of justice
and its officers in Alaska in regard to the
release of the British vessels seized dur-
ing the summer of -188(5 for alleged vio-
lation of the seal fishery laws was made
public to day. Following is the text of
the telegram directing the release:
Washington, Jan 26, 1887.—Judge
Lafayette Dawson and M. D.|f Ball,
United States attorneys, Sitka, Alaska:
I am directed by the pres-
ident to instruct you to discontinue
all further proceedings in the matter of
the seizure of the British vessels Caro-
line, Onward and Thornton and discharge
all vessels now held under such seizures
and release all persons that may be un
der arrest in connection therewith.
(Signed) A H. Oakland
Attorney General.
This was followed by a letter from i
Barton Atkins, United States marshal at i
Sitka, dated September 20, 1887,in which
he acknowledged the receipt of the above
telegram, but says it was considered a
fraudulent dispatch, notwithstanding
which belief, however, Judge Dawson
had delayed further proceedings in the
case and had wr'tten the department for
furtLt" instructions in the matter. Judge
Dawson's letter has not been received at
the department. Under date of October
12,1887, the attorney-general sent a tele
grant to Marshal Atkins at Sitka granting
him leave of absence to go to San Fran-
cisco for the purpose of selling about
2,000 fur skins which were condemned
and ordered sold by the court in Alaska
last year, which are now reported as be-
ing in a perishable condition. The tele-
gram concluded as follows: Let the ves-
