CHAMBERLAIN'S BAD MOTIVES Indications of Coercion , nnd Itcsult- , hiK Outrages IlnrtltiKton Dead Sure Sensitive Ulster An- othct JCoyal Harnncle , tin Friends Confident , LONDON , Mny 1C , ( Special Cablegram. ] Although the balance of parliamentary strength seems decidedly adverse to the gov ernment's homo rule. measure yet the minis- tcrlftllsts assort that it Is quite picmatnro to regard the bill as lost. Thev believe If Glad stone were to nsscnt to strikeout the clause excluding the Irish members from the Imper ial paillanicnt , thu followers of Chamberlain would either remain passive or support the bill as so amended. They also aver that ac cording to their best calculations Ilnrtlugton nnd Chamberlain combined ran command only eighty liberal and radical votes abso lutely. Tlio fnto of the bill depends really on the course ultimately taken by thirty-five members who , though classed ninonj ; the malcontents , are Htlll unpledged to support the Chamberlain-Ilartlngton movement through thick and thin , and would probably bo won over to the government by concession on the Irish members clause. TIIK JI1N1PTUV. Chamberlain's advocacy ot the practical separation. of Ulster from the rest of Ireland has solldlllcd Gladstone's decision not to make nny further concessions. The whole cabinet are now unanimous that It Is useless to attempt the conciliation of snccdors , If Chamberlain Insists upon the autonomy of Ulster. A section of Gladsloncltcs , how ever , very recently sought to obtain from Chamberlain a statement as to whether ho would support a resolution simply pledging the house to establish n Dublin parliament , with power ol legislation on Irish affairs only. Chamberlain's response was some what oracular nnd certainly not satisfactory. Ho intimated that ho saw no : eaon to alter the views embodied in ills scheme for local self-government , nnd his attitude toward homo rule tcudutlon on the basis described would depend upon the manner in which it might be framed. ClIAMIir.Kt.AIN'.S UNWOIITirV SIOTIVK8. The truth Is , that since llaitington lias ac cepted Chamberlain's proposals fora pooling of interests , the radical leader docs not care for reconciliation with Gladstone on nny terms. Ills aim Is to bo the ruling inlluencu in a Harlington cabinet for the present , but ho hopes for tlio total expulsion of Mr. Glad stone from public affairs soon nnd the recog nition of himself , therefore , as the supreme head of the radical party , which ho believes ho can make the controlling element In any nntt-conscrvntivo combination. Gladstone's following nndmiutodly consider that de feat means his lesiynatlon and retire ment from public life. A protracted .strug gle , Involving discussion of new plans of government for Ireland , together wltji a bitter fight over the renewal of coercion , fol lowed by "exhausting electoral contests , would be nn unendurable strain nt his time of life. The liberal bodies throughout tlio country continue to declare their supportof the piemler. It is noticeable that their resolu tions are generally constructed in terms of personal confidence In Gladstone , and do not ] neliip ( | dclinito approval of the homo rule bill ns it stands , though the measure Is , in principle , suppoitcd.

Ho is crcd- Hedvitli the Intention of reviving coercion for the purpose ot utterly suppressing the Irlfih Katlor.nl league if outrages are resumed. Liberal newspapers freely predict the ro- Biiniptlon.of those outrages and other disor ders In Ireland upon the rejection of the homo rule bill. They foieseo n still more general "no rent" movement than ever be fore , and declare that commercial credit will bo destroyed , Industry paralyzed and society reduced to anarchy it tlio league is left in the uncurbed mastery of the country , Inflamed by the refusal to urant home. rule. United Ireland says : "With defeat now , patience ends. If the tenantry refuse to pay rents , who is to compel them ? The com bined armies of Europe would bo unable to enforce tlio existing rentals. Public opinion in Knulnnd will never sanction wholesale ex termination of men suffering unbearable burdens. " RKStll.T OK tlNOnilTA NTV.

Tobacco Manufacturers' Bonds. WASHINGTON , May 10. Tlio treasury de partment lias issued tlio 'following circular : WASHINGTON. May 12 , 1SSO. The amenda tory act of March 1 , 1879 , section 14 , materi ally changed tlio provisions of the law rela tive to tne penal sum of tobacco manufac turers' bonds. It fixed definitely the mini mum nnd maximum sums , leaving the col lector to use his discretionary power within these limits , and to require the penal sum of the bonds to bo proportioned to the amount of business that the manufacturer proposed to do , giving him the right of appeal to the commissioner of internal revenue. At the tlmo of the passage of that act the tax on manufactured tobacco was three times ns much as it is now. .Of course , therefore , the interests of the government were then proportionately greater In tlio tobacco manu factured , and it was deemed necessary to re quire a correspondingly larger bond lor the Inllillmcnt of the , obligations of the manu facturer. Regulations series 7 to 8 , revision of 1835. pages 7 and 8. prescribe tlio rule to bo adopted by collectors In computing nnd fixing the penal sum of tlio bond ot the tobacco manufacturer. According to the quantum of business pro posed to bo done by him In accordance witli this rule , collectors are instructed in comput ing tlic penal sum of such bonds , to mid to the minimum sum of S'i.UOO ; for each cutting machine 8300 : foreach screw press S200 ; for each hydraulic press § ' > ° 0 ; for each snutf mill S100 ; and for each hand or other miller or machine $109.

MILIEU , Commissioner , i- r The Culloin Interstate Commerce Rill WASHINGTON , i May 1C. fSoecial. ] Few people believe" the Inter-state commerce bill , which passed the senate on Wednesday by such a decided majority , will get through the house , or that if it should get through that there could bo an agrccmentrcached between tlio two branches of congress on the amend ments the house will undoubtedly tack on to it. There Is undoubtedly a innjority In the house that will demand tlmt the state courts ba given jurisdiction instead of the federal courts ot suits under this law. Many of them say that to leave the bill as it is will bo to place tlio ordi nary customer of the railroads just us much at the mercy of tlm carrier ns nt present , because but a small per cent of them will care to go to the trouble and delay nnd suffer the expense of bringing suit In a federal court , whereas there would bo no hesitntion in proceeding if the aggrieved party could do so in his own local court nt Home. And why the state couits are not given jurisdiction cannot bo discovered ex cept as a move in the interest of tlio rail roads. Senator Van Wyck , the sterling op ponent of oppression and monopoly , made n good fight for tlio amendment in the senate , but ho was defeated. Then the house is largely opposed to a com mission. It wants n law , to bo executed in the common courts by Hie prosecuting attorneys , without the Interference and delay of a railroad commission. In fact , there nro so many Ideas about all tlio provisions ot an luter-state railroad law that It is doubtful If ono Is passed in years. The Pnn-Klectrlc Scandal. WASHINGTON , May 10. [ Special. ] The Pan-Klectrlc telephone Investigation , after dragging Its weary length of more than two months before a special committee of tlio house , will bo closed within a few days. Undoubtedly the conclusion will bo partisan , mm. two reports will bo made. The demo cratic members say they cannot see anything Improper in tlio connection of the govern ment officials with Pnn-Klectrlo mat ters ; that n government officer lias a perfect right to enter as many private enterprises ns ho wishes if no is not inil'ienciid by them in his public duties , nnd that It has not been discovered that any of these men have done anything Improper. Just ns confident nro the republicans that they have made n good case. They claim that It was manifest on the face of the organ ization that official Influence was expected to make the stock valuable ; that unless the Bell patents wcro nullified tlio Pan-Klectrlc stock was worthless , and they could only bo broken down by the manocuvrclng of officials. Whichever wav the thine goes It Is improbable that the house will tiikn any action on the reports of the committee during this session. _ TarlinfWlic. WASHINGTON , May 10.

They arc , as a rule , better educated than their continental brothers. " A. IIOUSR DIX'IDED. Cienrinakcrs Denounce tlio Knights of Ijauor. NEW YortK , May 10. A special dispatch from Buffalo , N. Y. , says tlmt the cigar- makers seem to bo leading the attack of the trade unions on the Knights of Labor and at a conference which begins at Philadelphia on the 18th iiist , 11 general plan will bo mapped out to be acted on at the approaching meetIng - Ing In Cleveland. A. Strasser , president of the Cigarmakcrs' International union , has written an editorial for the May number of the cigarmnkrrs' oflicial journal , from which the following extracts were taken : fll "The Journal of United Labor of last month , the otllchil organ of the Knights of Labor , contains an article ro'ating to the general scale of prices for eiirars adopted by the executive board of the Knights of Labor. " " "In looking over the scale of prices wo no tice that the Knights of Labor are satisfied to work Tor Iroui0 to .10 nor cent below current prices enforced by local unions under tlic jur isdiction of tlio International union. The attempt to cnt down the wages of the clear- makers under cover of 'labor reform'ye feel constrained to denounce as a , piece of scabbiness - biness of tlio lowest order. Wo do not consider that It is out of place to give the names and occupations of those who have nssumed.control over the cigar trade , so that wo may convince cigar- makers of tlio arrogance ot these Interlopers who have not the slightest knowledge ot the cigar trade. Their names are T. V. Pow- dcrly , machinist ; Frederick Turner , grocer Tind landlord ; John VV. Hayes , wholesale and retail tea dealer ; W. II. iJallny , miner ; T. V. Harry , axle maker. The attempt of a few men to control and regulate all Industries has proved n ridiculous failure. It also proves thaf. there Is something rotten in the management of the organiza tion known as Knights of Labor , bhould the special session of tlio Knights of Labor to bo held in Cleveland May 25 lall to remedy these criminal blunders , we will denounce tiipm as champions of cheap labor and advo cates of low wages , in line , as traitors to the labor cause in general. EXCESSIVE DROUGHT. Cattle Dylnc by tlic Thousand in Texas. Bia Srjuxas , Tex. , May 10. [ Special Teln- gram.J Heports regarding the effect of the long drought are beginning to como In. The plains west of hero are parched and dry , and the carcasses of thousands of cattle are to bo seen in every direction. In some localities no rain has fallen since last September. j. M. Dawson and Colonel W. E. Hughes to-day returned from a trip as far west , , as Old Mexico. Dawson says that from this side of tlio Pccos , over In Mexico , as far north as Arizona , It Is dryer than it has been in twenty years. Of 7,000,000 head of cattio in Texas , one-third are in the section visited by the drought. DYINO IIV TIIK THOUSAND. Cattle are dying bv tha thousand for want of water and grass. Them is very little grass anywhere near water and that little is so dry and dead that it does not contain enough substance to do cattle any srood. Tlio cattio are very thin and getting thinner every day , nnil if no lain comes within thirty days the cattio business in west Texas wlllbo ruined. People are very gloomy over the outlook , The drought extends cast as far ns Big tipilngs. No clouds have been seen In months. Even if it should rain now cattio would not get fat enough for maikettills year. A roimh estimate places the late of mortality by thirst and starvation at 000 head per day. Fully -0.003 carcasses cover the plains. The stench us on passes along on the Texas Pacific Is said to bo terrible. FO HTV-MNT.il CONGRESS. House.

CHICAGO , May Id. [ Special Telegram. ] The Chicago Times says : "There Is tlio best of authority that of President Strong that It is tno settled Intention of the Atchlson , Topcka & Santa Fo company to build tx line from the Missouri river to Chicago. There have been various Indications for some time past that It was making preparations In that direction , but Its Intention has been variously Interpreted. There was no secret made ot the fact that a party of surveyors , which liad been located nt Kcoluik for some time past , WAS In the employ ot the Atchlson road and conducting a survey In Its Interests. This party had been surveying both ways fiom that point , atul ono portion has progressed as far enst ns lialosbmir , while the other Is mak ing toward the Missouri river. I'ltOI'OSKll AIll UNK. It Is the Intention to survey mi air line be tween Chicago and Kansas City which will , when constructed , bo ut least forty miles shorter than any other route. President Strong , while In this city a few days nsro , distinctly stated that the Atchlson , Topcka , & Santa Fo would bullit a line from Kansas City to Chicago and complete It In two years. A survey was iielng made In good faith and witli that Intention. It would bo an air line , constructed without particular attention to local tratllc. In going over the project with a gentleman who will bo laruely Interested , Strong stated that the Atchlson would soon have 5,000 miles of road In operation and em brace in Us system west of the Missouri river , i-ooio OF THE SITUATION. The line to ( Jalveston would wit It on an equality with the Southern Pacfllc in Pad lie coast trade , equalizing the ocean route of tlio latter , which has heretofore been so strong a , factor In the competition for the California trade. "lint this , " said Mr. Strong , "doos not trench upon the Atchlson system ; Its Kansas territory is to be Invaded by competing roads which have heretofore ended at the Missouri river , and with their through routes in com petition. Atchlson would be at a disadvant age which could not be overcome by nny traffic agreement vrhtali pos sibly might bo made with tno Alton. An outlet to Chicago Is an absolute necessity and the logic of the situation would drive tlio company into building it whether it wished to or not. " Perhaps the olllclal who was quoted some time nito as remarking that "if tlio Hock Island ciossed the Missouri river Into Kan sas there would ensue n war before which old 'Tripaitito' would sink into insignifi cance , " was not far out of the way in his predictions. ALDERMAN BOODLE CONVICTED. Jaclino Receive * tlio Verdict With Forced Composure. NEW YOIIK , May 10. Alderman Jaehne's trial was resumed to-day. Tlio counsel for the defense moved that the testimony of Inspector specter Byrnes and Detective Cosgrovo as to the alleged confessions of the defendant bo stricken out on the ground that they were made under Inducement of hope and pressure of fear. The motion was denied. Detective llodgcrs testified that ho had heard Jaehno confess to Byrnes In March last. His story was substantially the same as that of Bvrnes. John Scott testified that tieo. W. Walter , Jaehne's former clerk , told him that the money had been kept in Jaehne's safe over night. When lie lelt the witness stand the district attorney announced that the prose cution rested. The counsel for the defense moved that the , indictment be dismissed , ns the grand jury had been tricked into making a false pro-sentimout. Judge Barrett overruled the motion. 'The counsel for the defense then made the opening argument , wherein Byrnes and Disti let Attorney Marline were accused of arresting Jaehno in order to have them selves , as .Incline's testimony before the sen ate committee Implicated them in compound ing felony. The prisoner at the bar beiuc placed on tlie stand in Ids own behalf testi fied that he had been Intimate with Bvrnes , but denied emphatically having told him , as alleged , that lie had itcelved money for his vote. He had never received nor asked , nor been promised money for his vote. The witness reviewed the conversation be tween himself and Byrnes at the hitter's house , but denied that Byrnes ever asked him if lie received money for his vote. The witness made flat denials of other well known theories implicating him and the tes timony was closed and the arguments begun. At 11 o'clock the instructions were given and the jury retired to consult upon a verdict. .lAEIINK FOUND CIUII.TY. NEW YOIIK , Mny 10. 1:15 a. m. At 1:10 o'clock this morning the jury in the Jaehno trial rendered a verdict of cuilty. The prisoner received the verdict with head erect , lips set and every fibre strained to painful tension. The jury was given n re cess until Monday , it not being lawful to dis charge It on Sunday. Jaeline was taken to the Tombs. MYSTERIOUS DEATH.

WALL ST , BULLS AND BEARS , Dullness tbo Prevailing Tone in the Now York Janrkot , THE BULLS BECOMING FRISKY WocrlsliofTcr'H Dentil Disheartens the Hears Will Western Union Uobblo Baltimore & Ohio Speculators Stand Aloof. Bottom Figures Itoncheil. NEW YoitK , May 10. ( Special Telegram. ] There has been one pievnllln tone In the Block market during1 the past week , and that Is dullness. Whatever movement has taken place has been wholly duo to natural causes , and not to any especial combinations or cliques. The movement In coal stocks has been an exception. But the action ot the entire market Is , after nil , figuring between traders for small fractions. There seems to be but little doubt that the bottom figures have been nearly reached , although compari sons of figures for the last thieo years show that prices arc higher 'on nearly all leading stocks than they were nt this tlmo cither last year or the year before. The 1,0110 , gicat Inlluencc for low prices has gone , and that Is Wocrlslioffcr. As n stock operator ho was more than feared , because ho was a universal wrecker of values. While ho lived members of the board were com pletely terrorized. No one knew what stock he would attack next , consequently every purchase made was with certainty that It It showed any signs of life Woerlshoffer would come down upon It and hammer until llfo was extinct. From very fear many oper ators did become bears. Bears have no ono now who can compare with him. I1UI.UNO WESTKItN UNION. Tlio bulls on Western Union point to the steadiness which tlmt stock has been held around 02 , and they say tlmt most of the short Interest has been put out around that figure , and can not bocoveicd without lifting prices. The extensions of the Baltimore it Ohio sys tem must have n depressing Influence , how ever , and must result In somewhat of n de cline In the receipts of Western Union , eras as 1ms been so often done , the absorption of the system by the Western Union. There 1ms been a sttong bull movement in Union Pacific , and they have been showerIng - Ing points upon the market , claiming that tlio funding bill will pass the house in good shape. ST. I'Aur. STOCK. The annual meeting of the St. Paul , which comes off next month In .Milwaukee , Is likely to be Interesting ns showing whether or not a suitable successor can bo found for Presi dent Mitchell. It has long been known ho has been looking fora man to take'the office oil his shoulders , so tlmt he micht rest from the labors of so many years. Many are hop ing that the dividends to bo paid will show that the stock has advanced to a standard of those old Investment securities , Burlington , and Delaware and Hudson , Therels a .strong belief that both the latter will hnlu St. Paul in its ambition by reducing their own , not by choice or benevolence to St. Paul , but from necessity. But above and beyond these little tales , which are now Important because of the dead level of dull ness , the bull feeling is really a strong dispo sition in tlm market , and Is apparently crowing. Doubtless most of it is because ot their release from the fear of Woerishoffer , but it lias also a foundation in the conviction that wo are promised good crops and consequent quent business. It seems impossible to dig out of tlio hearts of many men that the expected and longed- for revival of business would have dawuod upon us ere this had not tlio strikers intcifeicd. So now that labor troubles seem to be In a fair way -of - settlement they insist that the golden day is hero but Is simply obscured by clouds. The public does not yet view the matter so favorably. At least they do not show themselves fn the stock market , nnd until the public does como there can be no legitimate demand lor stock * ) , Many yet believe that the long list of depress ing Influences which have been at work will be of ultimate bencllt. Notwithstanding this i hopeful view the speculative public is stand ing aloof from the maiket and the traders I hold it. There has been no material change in the money mniket and exchange has beeii lower and easier. THE SEIZED SCHOONER. American Fishery Union "Will Fight the AcluniH Case to the 13ml. BOSTON , May 10.
