[ New York Herald Cable Special to the
BEK. ] Parliament meets to-morrow. 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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

UNION PACIFIC BUIjI S.
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.

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.

gram to the liii.l : : The crowd In attendance
ipon this , the fortieth day of the anarchist
.rial , was-as large a.s usual , every available
scat In the courtroom being occupied. The
ury and the prisoners look more and moro ,
\\orn with each succeeding day. Ono of the
singular features of the tual , for such an Im
portant one , Is the fact that there has been
no separation of witnesses. It has proved 4
very dangerous experiment leaving thorn ai

on the other hand to hayo separated then )
would have been impracticable. If ono si do

done so , ana they would not only need to be
locked up for weeks , but there would have

lo accommodate them. " *
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. One of the witnesses whp paid
ho was In the alley , named Aucust Krumirj ,
bears a resemblance to Spies , but could not
be mistaken for him by anyone looking , nt
the man at all * closely. . Krtunhi , oil tlio'dj-

It was it qiuirter'to 0 when ho irot there , 'an'd.
the meeting was going on. After remaiulnjf
them for homo time listening to the speeches
he. and a friend went to the alloy to light
their pipes. 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. Grop was
called to testify that he did dot hear Engel
urge the workinintiun to arm themselves to
shoot the police. In a speech ho made last
February.
Wllhclm lloako testified that ho saw
Schwab on the nk-lit of May-laddrctis a ino't-
Ing near McConnlck'w reaper works. The
memory of the witness was so poor as to
make It an open question whether Schwab
could not ha\c been at the Haymaket at the
tlmo alleged bv the witness for the Btato.
Frederick Itohicns testified that ho saw
Schwab in Itadckci'b saloon between 10 and
11 o'clock on the ni''ht ot May 4.
Charles Dickrueger pioduccd a little merri
ment when ho deelaicd that ho did not see

amination ho testltied that when the bomb
exploded ho fell Hut on hlslaco and icnmlned
there until tlio tiling ceased.
Two other witnesses testified that they did
not MH > a up ono file at the police , and the
prosecution declined to cross-examine them ,
It Is bfllovcd that the defunsu is Hearing
