Lcgun and Sixteenth avenues , accompanied
by their escort , St. John's cocnmandery No.

There were nearly 200,000 people scattered
Mong the line of march. Thu st-ore of grand
Hands , public and private , were packed , and
every window along the rottto was crowded
fts well as thn roofs , porches nnd lawns. The

The lemonade stands and peddlers of sand

LOXDON' , Aug. 9. In the House of Com
mons ted ly the HrU untter taken up wus
the case of Ejan , the Invincible , who was
Imprisoned under the Crlmjs act. Homo
Secretary Mjtthowa said ho ojuld not hold
out any hopjs for Exan'a riilcaso soon ,
Dob.ito on the address was resumed.
Mr. Gladstonesuolco. . lla siid the gov
ernment had dapirtod from all prjcadonts In
not resigning whoa the vordiot of the coun
try wus aennst thorn. The house had mot ,
but what fort The quean's ' speech told thorn
nothing. Was the House ot Commons to
light the battles of tbo lait six years over
au'alnf Never had '
a great issue submitted
to tbo country bjon si fully discussed as the
issue decided at the lata general election.
. Will Iti'pciil the Coercion IIIII ut Once.
Turnlug to the matter ot homo rule ,
amid loud cheers from his sup
porters , Mr. Gladstone said the
supporters of the government mada much of
the po > ice now prevailing In Ireland , holding
that It was duo to coercion. The tendency
toward peace began in ISij , with the better
| lupJUUl Ul UU1I1U IU11' .
Mr. Gladstone added that In justice to the
government he must say thov were entitled
to credit for wbat they did toward relieving
the distress oausod by tha land act of 1ST- ,
but a psrnetunl coercion act not only violated
civil rights between Englishmen and Irish
men , but wus in the highest decree injurious
to respect for the law and its administration.
As ho hail boon asked questions respecting
the continuance of coercion , ho would roplv
ut once that the coercion bill ought not to bo
retained on the statute book longer than re
quired by nirliumentnry usairo. [ Cries of
"Hoar , hoar. " ) ,
Mr. Glsdstono then proceeded to refer to
the government's legislation. Ho com
plained that they had Indicted on Ireland a
gross wrong In making her pretended rep
aration bv a local government bill , too lim
ited to satisfy Irish wants or to offer any so
lution of tno Irish troubles.
.Mr. Gladstone's Moumiro.
Mr. Gindstono ncicnowlodccd Hint the debate -
bate could not bo altosathar retrospective.
Ho would not anticipate who would govern
when the present administration was dis-
uluoeil. It was not possible for a liberal
government to say wbut measures they
would submit to mrliamcut six months
lionco. Attempts Iwa been made to con
trast iho claims of Iivland , as against , tno
claims of Great Britain , to tbo attention of
parliament. Much could bo said on both
aides , butthn claims or Ireland had lor years
been lu the forefront of the battle and still
hold that position. [ Opposition cheers.J
Tbo principles of bis home rule bill were
specially well known. By its provisions there
would bo u full and nffoctnul maintcnniico
of imperial supremauv , while Ireland would
bo given the conduct of her own affairs.
Irish representation In the Ilouso of Com
mons was also contemplated under cettain
conditions. The bill for seven years past
had had bis primary and absorbing Interest ,
and it would so continue to iho nnd. Tha
house would address itself solely to a bill
giving the Irish homo government.
Landlords Will lie > llvnu u Cll'.llieo.
Refcirlng to the amnesty of Irish political
prisoners , Mr. Gladstone said It was linpos-
slblo for other than responsible ministers to
give any pledge either for the revision or re
mission of sentences. In regard to ovlctca
tenants bo expressed the hope that during
the autumn u voluntary arrangement be
tween landlords and tenants wouid obviate
the necessity for such legislation as would
bccomo inevitable if no arrangements were
made.
In concluding his spaech , Mr. Gladstone
recurred to the conservative argument that
Iho Irish majority was trying to coerce Eng
land. Ho held tlmt such wus the strength of
England In relation to other kingdoms that
she never could bo ccorced by them. She
hud a giant's strength , nut let her not use it
UKO n criunt , Itvnuld bo most unfortunate
If any party placud undue relinnco in the
uower and strati : ; ! n of England against other
members of tno federation , In forgotfulnebs
of the fact that , in the long run , moral forcn
would predominate over material force. On
that predominance depended wbut should bo
the llrst object of tholr desires , as it was
their dally official prayer that union of heart
and sentiment which constituted tbo truest
basis of strength at homo ana good fame
throughout the civilized world.

Mr. Balfour followed Mr. Gladstone. Ho
maintained that tbJ bouso bud a right to

the liberals what their policy was , and es
pecially when tbo party upon which Mr.
Gladstor.o relied was broken into at least
three divisions , each owning a different
leader. Ho protested against Mr. Glad
stone's describing the inliuonco Ireland had
exercised inrecjntyeur.son British politics as
derived from moral considerations. Immoral
consideration , he bald , was the right phrase.
Mr. Gladstone's conversion to homo rule was
not duo to moral forces , but to malarial con
siderations. In regard to the proposed vote

Mr. Harrington said ho bad listened to

of the case ot evicted tenants und the

Important Army Change * .
The nrmr hoadqunrlcrs nt Chicago , of
which Major General Nelson A. Mlles Is now
In command , is likely to ha extended at nu
onrlv day so ns to make It the most 1m-
nortant army center In Iho United States.
At present the Den.irtmont of Missouri ,
which has its headquarters at Chicago , ia
one of the smallest of tha eight aopartmanti ,
and Gannrnl Mlles lias only llvo or six rogl-
incuts titular his co nun und. But accordIng -
Ing to plans now under consideration
nt the War department by which ,
as formerlv , three divisions will ba
created , General Miles' command will
soon to bo extended ns to include th Da-
partmnnt of iho Plnltlo nnd Iho Department
of Dakota. Each of tkcso departments are
very extensive and oaeh will ald | about ten
regtmcnu to General Miles. ' command. Ho
will Ihcn have u total of about twenty-six
replmonts centering from lha Chicago head
quarters , and as the entire array consists el
only forty regiments , Generalf-Mlles" com
mand will embrace more than half Of.-tho an-
lire United Slates army. The 'chances '
which nro thus being woriti'd out at Iho WAI
department coma ns a aeqii ( , . to a series ol
tips und downs which General Miles has had-
Opposed ( icnunil Alllm.
When the Sioux campaign occurred General
oral Milns disapproved the action of Colonel
Forsyth in the Wounded Knee engagement ,
but Secrolary Proctor rejected General
Miles' dlsiipprovul.juid warmlv commended
Colonel Forayth. Gonornl Miles' friends
assart lhat the secretary followed up this
criticism by making it further unpleasant
for General Mllos. Oftlcors worn detailed
from General Miles' staff , who were well
known to bo personally distasteful to him.
Finally the extensive command which
General Miles then enjoyed as hood com
mander of the Division of tno Missouri was
abruptly terminated. Gonornl Milts' divis
ion was divided Into three denartmonts. Tha
Department of the Dnkoin , wllh about ten
regiments , was tuincd over lo Brigadlol
Goncrtii Merrill , and the Department of tha
Plaltc , with about ton regiments , was turned
over to Brigadier General Brooko. This loft
General Miles with a beggarly remnant of
