Wo are n good lone way off yet from anv ical business. The first duty of parliament will bo to elect n speaker. This must bo dona be fore the speaker or any member Is sworn. Technically , a man Is not a member of tlio house of commons until ho has taken the oath and his scat. Therefore to-morrow the business will literally consist of a number of men not mcinbjrs of the house of commons mccting-ln that chamber and there electing a man who , like themselves , Is not n member of the house , to preside over the debates of that house. There will be no opposition , It may bo taken lor granted , to the re-clcc- tion of AiiTium i-r.ni < AS srnAKF.it. After his ic-electlon and the format signi fying of her majesty's approval of It will begin thu business of swearing In thu mem bers , the speaker himself being the first man sworn. Thissvto.irlng In will occupy some days , and In the meantime all the statesmen , who have taken high office having by that fact ceased to represent their former cou- etittients , have to seek re-election. New writs have been moved for , and then the whole pi oecss of re-election lias to be gone through over again. In ono or two cases re election Is not by any means n mere formality nor a foregone conclusion. There will probably be a keen and obstinate fight AflAlNbT IIHNIIV MATTHKWS , the now homo secretary , In East Birmingham , and It is not Impossible that other ministers mav be ( rented to a contest. All this will oc cupy time , and It will be something like a fortnight before the house of commpns gets to anything like work. What will that work be ? Will there bo a debate on the speech and an amendment to the address ? In other words , will there bo a debate on the homo rule question ? I am much Inclined to think there will In any case be such a debate. I feel quite certain that If Gladstone will not him self bring It up , homo English itAiitrAi. inu > w run GANGWAY vrlll do so and will pi obably press it to a di vision. I am not saying whether 1. myself , think It desirable or not , that some indepen dent radical should take this course. I am only saying that most assuredly this course will bo taken. What Gladstonlans of the Inner circle say Is , that they do not see much use ju = t now In challenging a division on the home rule question , which would merely re peat and accentuate the decision given by the general elections. On the other hand , what ar.AnsToxiAxs OF THI : OUTHII CIUCLB , andlihu independent radicals "below the gangway way- " say , Is that tlio sooner they force thn secessionist-liberals to declare themselves the better. Suppose , for example , an amendment to the addicss Is proposed dcclailng that _ no settlement of the Irish question could bo sat isfactory which did not proceed'on' the lines of democratic legislation , how would the lib eral-secessionists vote ? Almost every man of them except Hartlngton , has declared ncain and again In favor of the principle of homo rule. Would il not bo well , some radicals argue , TO FOUCE THKSF. MF.N to be true to their words , or publicly to re nounce them. If they vote acainst such an amendment they declare acalnst homo itdi of any kind. If they vote for It they declan against the conservative government ani drive tlio first nail in , Its coflin. Such Is tin argument of both sides. I glvo no oplnioi of my own , for 1 am now talking only ol what Englishmen propose to do or not to do , The action , which the Irish party may do cldeon taking , or supporting. Is not yc known , at all events not yet known to me for I have not been able to leave London tc attend the meeting of the party. IX DUIIUN TO-DAT , and If It were known to mo I certainly wouh not proclaim It In advance from the house tops. Hut 1 think I may venture to maker prophecy as to Gladstone. Ho comes back t < lead the opposition only because helms nallw his homo rule colors to the mast and Is do tcrmlned to light for homo rule as lotif as there Is any fight Ii him and then ; Is need of his hand in tlio bat tlo. If , however , the conservatives shotih make up their minds to offer n bchemo o homo rilc | , wjucji inni.ANn coui.n ACCF.PT , then Gladstone would consider himself n leased fiom all necessity of remaining n public life. It Is exticmely unlikely that til tones will do anything of the kind just yet 'but If they do It to-moriow , Gladstone wl glvo up public life the day after. I am as sured there aru some members of Salisbury' government who cherish thu fond belief tha Ireland and thu Irish party are icady to ae cent some poor crumbs in the shape of count ; government Instead of any real homo nil schema Some people can get themselves t bclievo anything. nviiv : ONIS is TAI.KIXO nhout the nplendld demonstration made , I Dublin on the occasion of the dcpaituro a Lord and Lady Aberdeen Aberdeen , th thhd hlbh viceroy over honored by the Irisl people with such evidence of confidence nni admiration.

[ Now York llei aid Cable-Special to the BKK. ] Intolll genco ot the death ot Mr. Tilden reachci hnro in time for late specials last evenlnt The Standard and the Post are the only laoni Ing papers that comment upon the event The former paper , among many reuienlscen ccs of Tilden's career , says : "Prior to 187 Mr. Tllden was little- known except as aloes politician And n man of largo means , whic were always at the disposal ot the parly man nijcis. Even with standard bcarei so btahviit as McCIcllan , Seymour am Grecley , the democrats had been In hopeless minority. Accordingly when Mi Tildon was selected to run against Mr. Haye the battle was regarded little better than foi lorn hope.

" After n hearsing tiie "fraud discussion , " the Stand ard concludes its leader thus : "It Is , hov ever , unquestionable that the discovery c certain cipher telegrams by which auattemp o bribe the returning boards was brought to U'ht did much to Injure Mr. Tildcn , though le Is generally believed not to have been privy o these dtscraceful intrigues.

Why a Democratic Candidate Wanted a Republican In Ofllce. WASHINGTON , August 4. The reportof the judiciary committee of the senate upon the nomination of Gustavus Yanhoorcbeke to be district attotney for the southern district of Illinois , vice James A. Connelly suspended , has been mahc public. It says Connellyvho filled thn olllco from 1870 till the date of his susocnslon by President Cleveland , was a faithful and efficient officer. Immediately after the last presidential election ho an nounced his determination to resign , but was induced to withhold his resignation by reason ot the political Interests and conditions ex isting In Illinois. An election for United States senator was pending and the contend ing forces were about equally divided. "The belief was entertained , " tlio report continues , "by the democratic candidate that the resig nation of Connelly would tend to compli cate his chances for holding the united vote of his paity continuously to himself. It Connolly should resign pending the senatorial contest his suc cessor would have to bo selected. Several pcisons had made known their determina tion to bo appointed for Connelly's position on a change of the national administration. It seemed Important to the democratic candi date for the office of United States sonatoi not to be forced to declare Ills choice In re spect of who should succeed Connelly. He caused a friend to Interview Connelly and endeavor to get him to withhold his resigna tion until a determination of the senatorial contest could bo reached. At lirst Connolly declined , but finally consented , with tlio dis tinct understanding tlmt whenever his resig nation should be desired ho would bu notltied Jn order that ho might forward it and not bo subject to stisuenslon .or removal. There seems to bo no * doubt oi this definite understanding. It was also agreed that the attorney general should bo notified oC the arrangement , and ho wan informed of it. " The report proceeds to say that Senator Cullom called upon the attorney- general in relation to this matter and that tlu interview left no doubt In the Senator's mind that Connelly would bo notified when his re signation should bo desired. On the 10th ol June , IbSo. Connelly received notice from the president that ho was suspended , and on the bamo dav a Chicago paper published a Wash ington dispatch embodying the substance ot ol the report of J. W. Bowman , an oxaininci of the department of justice , In which h < manifested the partisan spirit in which he had pursued the Investigation of Connelly' ! conduct In his oflico. The report state ! that the icport of' ' the specla agent was 'filed In the department ol justice on the 2d of Hay , 1S85 ; that Itwai made in responsoto instructions given by tin attorney general to the special examlncroi April 10 , 13s5that ; no notice was given tx Connelly of Its character , nor oven of its ex Istenco. When It was communicated to the committee Connelly was Infonqcd of its character actor and contents , "and , " thocommltteesayi "ho has made answer to each and ovciy tea turu of It In such manner anil effectiveness a : to satisfy the committee that It is unfair , nn just and untruthful , and that It ouglitnot either in Its statements , or Its conclusions to b accepted as of any weight whateve against tlio general good repute of Coiinoll ; concerning tils administration. " The committee mitteo says In conclusion : "It may bo i matter of curious Inquiry why the attorne' ' general should have allowed such a report ti remain on the files of his department wlthou notice to Connelly and without some reforenc' ' to It In the interview had with Senator Cul torn in respect to the resignation of the ac cuscd olllcer. That such a state ot facts couli exist any where is not easily believed , but tha It should bo found In the department of jus tlco Is a rcnroarh to Its name , and it seems l > the committee that the demands of fair pjiv and common justice require that the' conrs pursued In this CASO should not receive tin approval of the senate. Therefore the corn mlltco , without Intimating anything to hur the nomlnou In this case , or remotely , o otherwisu suggesting that ho Is not a lit porsoi to bu intrusted with the ic.sponslblo duties o the oflico to > vhich ho has been nominated , d recommend that ho bo not confirmed.

BKKTCII OK IS I4TE AND I.AnORB. Samuel J , Tilden was born at Now Leba non , In the state of New York , In 1814. Hi Is descended from an old and highly honor able family , the remotest member of whom hi has any posltlte knowledge being ono Na ilmnlel Tilden , who was mayor of Tenterden Kent , England. In 10-23. This gentleman re moved with his family to America In 1034 and settled at Bclluate.Mas * Mr. Tllden'i father was a thrifty merchant of Now Leba non. who , on accuuut of his integrity ant good sense , especially on political matters was admitted to terms of Intimacy with Mar tin Van liinen. His mother was descendec from William Jones , lieutenant governor o the colony of New Haven , and reputed to bi a son of Colonel John Jones , one ot the regl clde judges of CharlesiL , whoso wife was i sister of Oliver CioruWeiJ. Ju his eighteen ! ! year Mr. Ttlden entettxl Yalocollege where In pursued his studies With fcuch Indefatlgabl zeal that his health gave way , and lie wa compelled to diop out of the course. As sooi as he had sutlluleutl ) reco\ered ho icsuuiei hl3 studies at the University of Now York , where ho wns graduated In isttl. He was then n young man of only twenty vcars. He sub sequently read law , and while a student in the ofllce of John W. Kdmunds In New York w rote several articles on the political situa tion. Ono of these was In defense of Presi dent Van Uurcn's policy. It caused consid erable discussion In the newspaper world. especially so as the president was conjectured to have wiltten it. As soon ns ho had been admitted to the bar Mr. Tildcn opened an ofllcc of his own In Pine street in New York city. Although cmbiuked in professional life of a kind which c.tllcd for tlio most ar duous application , he did not lose his Interest In politics. Hocontlnued to express his opin ions through the press , and occasionally spoke at political meeting ! ) . As soon as thn presidential campaign of IMt , In which James K. Polk was a candidate , had fairly opened , Mr. Tildcn founded the New York Dally News. In connection with John O'Sul- livnn. The following year he was soht to the assembly from tlio city of Now York , and elected as a delegate to the convention which was to revise the constitution of the state. The estrangement between the friends of Mr. Polk and Mr. Van Huron in consequence quence of tlio elections of 1SIO caused Sir , Tilden to retire from politics and continue his attention to the law. This was a fortnnato move , without which his subse quent success and fame as n lawyer could never have been achieved. Ho Immediately began n series of trlumps at the bar which gave him great reputation. Among the more notable cases In which ho was successful may bo mentioned that of Flagg vs. Giles ; Burden vs. Cunningham , n famous will case , and that of the Pennsylvania Coal company vs. the Delaware ifc Hudson Coal companv. It Is no exaggeration to say that from 1N > 5 up to the time ho rethcd fiom ptofcsslonal llfuone- lialf the gi eat railway corporations noithof the Ohio and between tlin Hudson and Mis sissippi had been his clients. For some tlmo preceding the war ho was the confidential adviser of Dean Itlchmond , the leader of the democratic party in the state of Now York. Ho was elected governor of Now York In 1874. and was nominate t to the picsldcncv in 1870. The result of the election being dis puted led to the appointment of the electoral Commission , under whoso decision the repub lican candidate was peacefully Inaugurated. Slnco that time Mr. Tilden has lived In ic- tlrement , with the exception of an occasional appearance in public. Kansas Domocrata Honor Tllden. LEAVKNWOHTII , Kas. , August 4.

A Wall Street Story About Oregon Connections. Nnw Yoiuc , Aug. 4. [ Special Tclesram to the BEE. ] A considerable flourish of trum- pet4 Is being made by bulls on Union Pacific on the report that the Union Pacllic people have secured control of the Oregon Naviga tion company's lines , and will therefore have anew transcontinental lino. It Is claimed that Mr. Adams and other friends of the Union Pacific have bought control of the Oregon Transcontinental stock , which com pany , it is well known , has always hold a controlling Interest In the Oregon Navigation company. This Is now authoritivcly denied. Hut even presuming they have done so , it is difficult to see how that alters the situation very much. The Oregon Navigation line and the Oregon Short line are necessary to each other , and have been since their connection , and botli sides were glad to make an equitable tralllo arrangement which has been long In existence with no prospect of belnz broken , up. Tim Oregon Navigation -company has' nearly 200 miles of line , ' which was built to connect -\vitlutho OrCffoirsifdrt line , and the .only danger , was that at some tlnid the c'olilro'r of the Oregon Transcontinental might pass Into hands Inimical to the interest of thu Union P.icllic , In jvhlch event tlfo Oregon Short line would bo at a great disadvantage. This , however. seems to Do a remote danger. This control might render the Union Pacllic a little inde pendent of the Central Pacific for other busi ness than that to Calllornla. Naturally the building of the Cascade branch of the Noi th orn Pacllic makes the Oregon Navleation company "tioup" a little closer to the Union Pacllic than before. Probably this is the only foundation for the story. CON TON BEATS. Now York's Upper Ten on the Debtor NEW Yonic , Ana. 4. [ Special Telegram to the OKI : . ] Some weeks since C. F.

The City AroiiHCd Over the Killing No Clue to the Perpetrators An Outcome uf tlio 1'ljjl't Agnlnnt Saloons. A I'rctncdltntcct Mtmlcr. Sioux CITV , la. , August 4. [ Special Tele- cram to the UKK.J The wildest excitement > rcvalled hero all day over the cowardly as- asslnatlon of Kcv. George C. Haddock. The oroncr's Inquest has been in piocrcss all day \ltli closed doors , as Important developments arc expected. The testimony of John ityan ndlcatcs plainly that there was a conspiracy on the part of a largo number of men to kill Mr. Haddock , and as soon as the deed was ommitted hurried from their hiding places and escaped in the darkness. Ono pnrly skcd at tlio barn and hotel near by whether ho carriage lured by Mr. Haddock had re- urned yet , and the latter was undoubtedly apprehensive of danger , as ho asked at the > arn whether any one WAS laying for him. Vs Is ecncrallv" known , Uov. Mr. Haddock ias been a leader in the temperance agitation icio and the movement to close up the sa- oons. Matters have been at fever heat lor some time and his cowardly taking off last light Is a sequel to the matter. Should tlio ) crpetratord of his foul murder bo found they vould not live an hour , so excited is the pub ic. ic.The The Indignation meeting held to-night to take uubllc action on thu assassination was ono of the largest attended and most deter- nlued ever held here , Cltlzons of alt parties , creeds and nationalities were picscnt and gave expression to the most pronounced sen- .Iments. Kosolutlons passed offer a largo re ward and also solicit the covnrnor of the slate to offer a state reward for the apprehen sion of tlio murdeier ; also laying the crime at tlio door of the saloons , making that Inter est chargeable with it , and pledging all good citizens to suppoit the movemnnt to extermi nate the saloons , gambling houses , etc. . and establish law. Never before was such a meet , ing held here , and its result must bo most beneiiclal. Seven leading citizens were ap pointed on the part of the meeting to help Tenet out the murdeier and complete the en forcement of the law. The Journal publishes the following ac count of Mr. Haddock's assassination : Shortly after 10 o'clock last evening a pistol tel shot wa s heard In the vicinity of Fourth and Water streets , and In a few minutes a crowd of men might have been noticed gathering in that vicinity. A woul of in quiry as to the cause of the gathering brought forth thu information that Itev. Gco. C. Haddock had been blmt and was lying dead in the gutter. At about this hour the ciowd at the Academy of Music came out upon the street at the end of the perform ance there , and the news was spread with great rapidity throughout the city. Messengers were at once sent for Coroner Connilf , but a diligent search did not reveal his whereabouts for nearly two hours , when tlio body was examined , and by order of Mrs. Haddock , to whom the awful news had been conveyed In ns cautious a manner as possi ble , was removed to the parsonage hr'tht shadow of the church where ho has labored slnco he camoto Sloux'CIty last October. Stories of the crime weio many and con flicting , but from what could -gathered fn the daikncss and rain of midnight , it was ascertained that about 9 o'clock p. m. Mr. Haddock and Kev. 0. C. Turner procured a horse and buggy nt Merrill's livery stable for the purpose of driving to Greenville , east of the elly. They were absent just an hour , and at 10 o'clock Mr. Haddock returned to the stable with the horse and buu'gy , being alone at that time. After delivering the animal to the hostler , Mr. Haddock started to go out of the stable , but noticing several men standing on the side' walk opposite , he turned and asked Jarvis II 'anybody was laying for him. " lauglilnv pleasantly as ho asked the question. Jarvis replied that ho knew of no ono who had anv such intentions. At this Mr. Haddock started out over the crossing of Water street , a snot was heard , and ho dropped his cano. and staggering foiward In a direction sllirlitlj south of east , tell on the walk as above stated. Jack Ilyan was standing In the door ol O'Connelrs saloon when the shot was llrcd , and saw Haddock , who was between hlmsell and the gaslight , stagger toward the Hide- walk. Ho at once went to him. and although the wounded man breathed at least live min utes after ho fell , did nofattenipt to speak. Ilyan got some water and washed the blood from Ills face , and was there when the crowd bosjan to col lect. It Is Mr. Ryan's opinion that the party who tied the .shot stood on the sidewalk just below Fourth street and waited until the unsuspootjng vjctlm was within twenty- live feet of him before he sent the leaden messenger on Us errand of death. A fireman standing at one of the nppei windows of tlio encltio'house says that h ( saw three persons on the corner , and as In stood there watching the Hashes of llghtnln.c liu noticed a man start across the street , ani ! when about half way acioss saw somebod ) approach him Iroin behind , and at that mo ment ho heard n icpoitand baw the Hash of i pistol. Ho at once lighted a lantern am went out , finding the bodv of Mr. Haddock lying as above stated. After the shot ho sa\\ two men run south on Water street and on < go north. Chailcs Eberhardt , proprietor of thoColum bla house , says that himself and four other : weie sitting In the hotel olllco , everything being very imlct without. At about 10o'clocl- - ho wasstaitledbyashot In the street , am going to tlio door saw paities running In botl directions on Water stieet , and heard tin footsteps of a man running acioss Iho bihlge After the body had been tukiiii to tlu house search for the wound was made , nm It was found that the ball cnteicd on tin left side of the neck , about three Incliu : below and a little back of the car , and passc < entirely through , coming out under the chli on the right mde. Fiom all appearances tin casu is ono of premeditated minder , and clr cuiiistunccs go lo bhow that tlio parties wen aware of the trip taiccn by Mr. Haddock am armed and stationed themselves In convon lent nosltlons to attack him on his return. Slnco the saloon Injunction cases have beci brought , it is well known that a very danger ous feeling against Iho temperance men ha : been engendered , and against no one has I been so bitter as Ituv , Georga U. Haddock The shock to thu community over tlio kllllni of this man will bo biicli a.s lias novorbefon been experienced , and while- without doubt It will at once by popular opinion , bo laid a tlio door of the saloon party , thu calm thlnke will at once realize that no mai who has any of tha Instincts o man hood left In his breast would hi guilty of oven thinking of such n deed , Thi perpetrator Is without doubt one of those low degraded beings. In whom the last spark o honor is dead , and In whoso bieast no though of lemorso will rankle as he gloats over hi terrible aeed. It must bn admitted that the part the dent man had taken in trying to cnfoico the law of the state , was without doubt the cause o his untimely end at the hand of a coward ! assassin , who apmoachcd him from the ica and sent his soul Into eteiiuty without a mo mcnl's notice , and without n possible chanc of defending himself. That Mr. Haddocl was not a cowaid Is attested by the fact thu ho has been on the streets unattended at ul times when duty seemed to call. While It I possible that his zcalousncss In the tenipci nnce cause led him on faithcr than the avci ago man Is apt to , bllll all his movx-mont were made openly and without effort to kce anything covered up or away fioin the gaz of friends and enemies alike. There are very few persons In bloux Cltj prohibitionists or not. but who will deci this cowardly act and will do all In tlml jxwer to bring the murderer to justice. Thi is a civilized country , and every man's Uf should be safe from the attacks of red liandei vlllaiusvholio iu wait for their unsuspuct ng victim and shoot him down In cold blood "lecause ho does his part as a cltlren In en- 'orelng the laws enacted by the law-making power of the slate.

The ury and the prisoners look more and moro , \\orn with each succeeding day.

" * The most Important testimony of the ses sion was that given by two witnesses wh'o swore they entered the alloy a few moment before the bomb exploded to light their plrcR , This was offered to counteract the story rp- latcd by Gllmcrthat he saw Spies In the alloy and saw him Mrlka a match and lire the fusd to the bomb which exploded among the police. While the defence has strenuously sought to show that Gllincr was not a ciedlblo witness , they have , by to-day's testimony , acknowledged that a match was struck in the alloy at tlio precise tlmo stated , by Ollmer In his testimony. The latter , dcr clarcd that it lired the. bomb , while the de fense contend that It was to light two pipes of tobacco.

He struck a match and lighted his , and then another for his frlond. Tliera was no other match lighted In the alley that ho saw. Spies did not go Into the alley that evening. If anyone had gone from' tha wagon into the alley ho would have scon them. Ho was cross-examined by Mr. Grlnnell , who elicited thu fact that the witness wa's llvlne separate from his wife , and family , and had been sent to the Bridewell In July. Ho said he had given this evidence in re sponse to a call In the Aibeiter Xeltung for witnesses on behalf ot the defendants. This witness declared that there were no boxes on the sidewalk near where ho claims to have stood during the speaking. He had been In Zepf's hall , near the Uayraarket. the headquarters for the anarchists pnor to going to the meeting , and ion there when the police began tiring. This witness declared that ho heard a shot lired befoio the bomb ex ploded. William Aldrich said ho worked with Kriimm and related the same story about going into the alley , but declined that they had lit their pipes and were out on the side walk before tlio police had come up. A witness named Robert Llndlnger testi fied that ho stood at thu month ofthp alloy during the cntlie meeting with Carl.Klohtci- , thu actor , and did not PCO cither Spies or Schwab go into the alloy. Ho declared that ho stood arm In arm with Richtcr during the entire two hours. The defense called Mm. Sophia Gluiqin to testify that she heard Sellgor declare that he had been terrified by the police into relating his knowledge of the niannluctiiro of buniba by Lingg and Kngcl. The testimony wax not admitted , as the defense did hot croav' examine Sellger. George Kohler was called and testified that he saw the nollco firing am ! ran. He did not see any ot Hie people lre ) at the police. Th6 state did not cro.ss-oxnmlne. A witness named Frederick C.
