Lojidox, Auk. 11. The scene In the House

I Of Common J urine this ovenlng's flnal dobnte

and deolslvo Toto on tho address has not beoa

quailed In Interesting and exciting 'o'ua

Inoe the similar crisis ot the Home Itule bill

debate In 1880. when Mr. Gladstone; now vlo

torlous. was o orthrown. lory Inch of avail

able spaoo on the Ooor was occupled.and soma

of tho mombers had to nnd soata inthognl

lerlos. and oven to spoak from thoso olovated

and distant positions. Every EnKlIsh raom

ber vras present, and tho total numbor of nb

entees was only thirteen. Tho visitors who

erowdod tho outsiders' gallorles wero woll

repaid for their attendance by witnessing one

1 of tho peacotul revolutions by which England

, ovorthrows one set of rulers und sets up

P anothor.

Though Herbert Gladstone declares that his

father has fully recovered his hoalth. and that

the storlos ot his weakness aro Inventions of

malicious political enomlos. and though tho

Erillth Medical Journal on tho authority of Sir

Andrew CUrke. states that Mr. Gladstone Is

sound In body and mind and ablo to work with

any man of his age. povortholcss tho need

statesman to-day looked palo and distressed,

and sank Into his soat as though exhaustod.

He was nervous and Irritable. Tho light from

the opposite windows annoyed hlra, his oyes

, being still weak from tho effocts ot tho injury

sustained by one ot them during tho campaign

In Sootland. At a signal from him the attend

ants olosed tho windows and drow the cur

tains. During most of tho debnto Mr. Glad

stone listened with his oyos closed, kcoplng

his haDd to his ear In token ot attention to

what was being said.

Mr. Chamberlain never camo so near losing

control of hlmsolf as In his rago to-day at the

taotlos omployod by Tim Hoaly toproventhls

delivering a speech. The Birmingham states

man's faco was almost groen with cholor. Ho

hoaped denunciations upon Hoaly's head.

Healy smiled sardonically during most ot the

diatribe, but when Chamberlain doclarod that

Healy was a person who would Insult any

man. and then, pausing, added with offonslve

emphasis, "or any woman." the faco of tho

Irish membor underwont a BUddon chango of

appearance and became livid with supprossod

rage. Tho Tories yelled with delight at Cham-

berlaln's home thrust and kept up tho shout

ing until thoy were hoarse. After Chamber

lain's speech, he and Lord Randolph Churchill

iwere seen ohatttng together in the lobby, the

first time they have beon known to oonverse

in years.

The Tories were plainly chagrined at their

failure to extort replies from the Liberals.

The latter werooontont to do very little talk

ing and to rely upon their votos. When Mr.

Gladstone entered he was cheered enthusias

tically. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who wore

an orchid. In addition to his usual garb, was

alio cheered as ho wont to his Beat. The mem

bers were generally good-humored, tho Con

servatives looking reconciled to defeat and

the Liberals happy over victory. . . .

The Might Hon. Joseph Chamberlain arose

to speak on the motion of "noconfldenoe,"

but Mr. Alpheus a Morton. Liberal, of Peter

borough objected on the ground that ho hod

already spoken the previous ovenlng. The

Speaker overruled the objection, whereupon

Mr. Chamberlain proceeded with his remark.

He bitterly commented on the tactics em

. P.loyed to prevent him from speaking, and said

that It was an early sample ot the petty and

malignant treatment to bo meted out to the

Liberal-Unionists. Mr. Gladstone was civilly

answered: Irish members wero treated In a

similar way. but remarks by Unionists wero

regarded as irrelevant and impudent.

Alter this outbreak, which tho Liberal

Unionists showed somo BiitnB of apolauding.

and to which the Irish members listened with

grim satisfaction. Mr. Chamberlain launched

out against the incoming Government, lie

fatd that the policy and comnosltlon of the

ncomlng Government were unknown; foreign

l trAiihlAa tvnrA Inominl ur In Italy and in

1 Egypt, and if ever a foreign polloy was needed

that would command tho respect of tho world

It was now. He trusted that Lord Itosobery

would be called to tho Foreign Office. Tho

people trusted Lord llosobery. why? Bo

eause his views were utterly opposed to tho

Views of Mr. (iladstono and Mr. Morley.

Tho Llboral declarations. Mr. Chamberlain

continued, wero Irreconcilable with Irish de

mands. What, therefore, wns tho prospect for

tho new Government if tho Irish Nationalists

adhered to their repeated declarations and It

tho Liberals kept fulth with tho hngllsh

peoplo? In such a case the incoming Govern

ment would not last a single day. Tho efforts

of those about to tako ollice would result in

Inevitable failure., ,

William O. E. Macartney. Conservat ye. of

South Antrim, followed with a strong denun

ciation of homo rule. He said that tlio honor

able gentleman from Dublin (Mr. Field) want

ed to wade in Protestant blood. This state

ment was received with loud cries of Oh I

Admiral Field (Conservative), for tho East

bourne division of Sussex, said that tho Gov

ernment, by Uring at the Opposition for three

days, would have sunk It had it not been for

the oork dust of the Irlr' lifeboats. It would

be the bounden duty of the House of Lords, he

said, to reject a bill sent to it by a miserable

majority of forty Irishmen. ,, ,

The Bight Hon. Sir John Lubbock, Lntpnlst.

M. r. for London University, said that it was

unjust that Ireland should be so excessively

represented in 1'arllamont as to be enabled to

carry homo rule against the wishes ot England

W. JUlenfLlberal. of Nowcastle-under-Lyne.

defended home rule. He said that tho Ameri

can colonies had bten lost to England forever

inora beoause England had attempted to dic

tate to them as to tholr domostlo affairs. .Can

ada was happy and prosperous because It had

Its own legislature. , .

Blr Edward Clark, Conservative, asserted

that only three of tho more prominent Lib

erals had put Irish home rulo In the eloHlon.

and all of these had lost heavily at the polls.

Blr Henry James. Llboral Unionist for the

Lanos division of Bury, defended the Govern

ment in favoring a protracted dobato, ana

cited the four days' debate in the Housn in

1811. He called upon Mr. Gladstono to confirm

the applicability of the precedent, but Mr.

Oladstona raiused to sanction the comparl-

on. remarking dryly: "Tho casus aro totally

dissimilar."

its aimless and uudollned policy. Ho was fre

quently interrupted, and sat down amid ro

J uewod calls fur a division, laughter from the

Opposition benches, and falut ohoers from tho

JdlnUterlallots.

A glass of whlskoy had boon sont to Mr.

Chaplin during his spooch as if to suggest that

be might abbreviate it, und upon rosumlng his

seat ho drank it. Mountlme the calw for u

stilled until the declaration came that tho vote

In tho division tho Parnollltex nnd tho nntl-

of all to rome back. When he appeared tho

cheered. It was then announced that the vote

The Liberals roso, waving their hats, tumod

to Mr. Gladstone, and cheered for several

Paius, Aug. 11. It was stated that releaso

from prison was offered to Edward Parker Dea

con on condition that he would lcavo Frnnce

forthwith, novor to return. Mr. Doaoon

docllnod the offer. Tho Fronch authorities

are much disappointed at the refusal, as tholr

to expel Deacon from tho country attor his

ground for such action it is fearod that It

might call forth a remonstrance on tho part

of the Amortcan Legation. Thorotoro tho at

The Abelllo family and their inUuentlal con

to prevent Deacon from having any further

opportunity to air his grievances, nnd hnve.

Deacon ease has been a salutary lesson for

this class ot people. It is claimed by Deacon's

friends that tho principal reason why so much

sovorlty Is shown toward him ! that men liko

Tho Iron nerve and wonderful solt-oontrol ot

tho accused woman was novor more clearly

manifested than when tho warrant charging

to hor this evonlng. Whon sho left the court

that Judgo Grcaham hnd concluded to tako

tho stump in tho interest ot tho Third party

nnd would mako lils opening Bpooch at In

Chairman Taubenock received this intolll

gonco from tho Chairman of tha btato Com

mittee ot Indiana, to whom Judgo Grosham

hod wrltton, declaring his intentions nnd set

ting forth his reasons for making a cnmpalgn

in tho Interest otGon. Weaver. In his report

to tho national headtjuartors tho Chairman ot

tho Btato Commtttoo ot Indiana states that

Judgo Grcaham. in apprising him ot his In

tentions. Informod him by lottor that ho did

not rofuso the Presidential nomination bo

couso ho was not In sympathy with tho party,

but for a reason that was ontlroly porsonal,

and not political.

" How do you llko that for a nloca of nows?"

said Mr.Tnubonock. " It means that ono spoooh

from Grosham, no matter whethor ho makes

moro than ono in our favor, setting forth our

objocts and indorsing our platform, will win

over DOO.000 votos for tho People's party that

wo would havo boon unablo to control other

wise. 'With a flattering prospoot now in Indi

ana, tho oncournglng reports received from

tho South, nnd with tho silver Btntcs behind

us. wo havo good couso to feol hopeful."

Chairman Taubeneck was asked It he would

olvo Secretary Stoll's letter for publication.

This ho refused to do.

Henry Yinoent. editor ot tho Btato organ, and

who was ono ot tho committee who waited on

Judgo Grcshamto induce, him to accept the

onco to the despatch announcing his Intention

of stieuklnc here: "It does not surnriso mo

In tho least.

Last July, when the Pcoplo's party commit

too waited upon Judge Grosham at Chicago,

ho gave us to understand that ho would make

soveral speechos before tho oampalen

rlosod. There is no question in my mind

but that the despatch that nppoarod

to-day is eenutno. When Otto Grosham.

tho Judco's son. was hero about a week, ago

ho told mo that lu a fow days ho would have

somo good nows for tho People's party, nnd I

suppose now that ho reforrod to his father's

Intention to take tho stuinp.as Intimated to-day

In that Ht. Louis tolegram. Of course tho tna-

Iorlty of tho Judge's speeches will he delivered

n Indiana, although ho may make somo In

Ulnols. where his popularity Is fully as great

as It Is In this State. It may sound Ifko nn ex

aggeration, but nevertheless I bellevo that

Judgo Grosham will mako fifty thousand

votos for us hero in Indiana. Ho is in hearty

sympathy with tho movement, and will yield

a most powerful influence In this Statu."

crossed tho streot when he hoard a cry ot

alarm followed by n crash. He looked up at:

the Btooplonnd saw tho platform hanging by

ono ropn nnd swinging liko a pendulum.

Wells had bsen thrown clear of tho woodworks

aud hnd landed In aheap in tho street. Dirt

had clutchod attho scaffolding whun ho tolls

himself going, nnd hnd mnnngod to savo hlm

solf. He climbed down the framework with Ills ,

hands badly skinned. Campboll struck tho j

stnulng which coerod tho sidewalk with bucIi v

forcons to broak through It and drop upon

tho sidewalk. He and Wells wero picked ur

for doad and hurried Into Ht. Luko'a Hospital.

Thore It wob found that Wolls had morely suf

forod a frncturo of the right anklo. Campbell's

iniurios. howovor. wore moro Borious. Ho

was unconscious and blooding from a dozonv

wounds. Tho doctors bay that ho will prob

ablydlo.

Tho rope was examined and was found tot

havo been cut. Tho rope was ot three great)

strands, oach strand consisting of three)

small onos. Two of tho great strands had

been out clear through with a sharp knlfey

whllo tho third great strand was also partly,)

severed. The rope had evidently not been cut

yostorday. It might havo boen out on WednesV

day, Monday, or a woek ago. It will ho noces-R

sary to measure tho rope bofore tho time oan

bu approximated. Tho supposition is that the

rope was cut some days aco when the PlaWi

form was near tho top ot tho stooplo. and top

surplus rope lay colled on the street bolowv

Thoro was no strain upon tho partly severed!' f

rone until tho platform was lowered HtinlcienU '

ly to have tho weak spot pass over tho pullay

and bear the wolght ot tho platform. Whenr

Contractor Mulr's attontlon was called to tlibft

discovery he looked at the ropo carefully and ! ' J,

then deolarod that undoubtedly some ono haa: j

out It wilfully. He will moasuro tho rooo to-I i

day tolea.-n. if possible, whon the doed wa!

dono. Contractor Mulr can't Imagine who the, i

miscreant oould be. He was soon at hta home, i

007 Amsterdam avenuo. last night and (aloj.

that lie had had no labor troubles of any kind.,

Ho 1b muoh disturbed by what ho forms a doj

llberato attempt to murder his mon. and saye,

that he will do all ho can to ferret out thfli

mystery. i
