In n word wo are all , lib erals or conservatives , anxious to hnvo a 'ormal vote of expulsion passed against this scoundrol. A member can bo cxnollcd for anv criminal offense of widen ho Is found ullty upon proof of conviction being laid bo- 'ore the house , but a member who has lied rom Justice can also bo expelled without a trial. Dccobain was Invited to resign his seat some tlmo ago , when his misdeeds lirst became n matter of common report which ho was unable to disprove , lie refused , and low wo must wipe out the stigma which his remaining a member will Inflict upon us all. Stops will bo taken towards this end tomor row evening , and it Is hoped Mr. Smith will act with decision and promptness. The Hurlbert trial naturally excites much attention , and opinions arc greatly divided upon It. I llnd scarcely anybody who bo- iovos the woman's story. Her impure life , tier Indecent entreaties in her own diary , her numerous lies and deceptions , deprives her of all claim to credence. The general belief is that she has tnudo a living by ttiis sort of business for many years past. On the other iiand , Hulburt's ' narrative of the ubiquitous and invisible private secretary was his altar ego and Is regarded with cquu doubt and sus picion , no person having been produced - whoever over saw Wilfred Murray , although ho is alleged to have boon frequently In Hulbcrt's tipme. Mrs. Hulbert might at least have testHied to his existence or sworn that the incriminating letters were not In" her hus band's writing , butsho was not called. The private secretary who wont ovory- whcro with Hulbcrt , who wrote almost the same handwriting , nnfl has now vanUhed from earth , Is more mysterious than any case yeUboard of In romance or history. Hulbert stood the cross-examination without flinch ing , and never varied In his statements. It Is thought unlikely that the woman will gain a verdict , and I must report that public feel ing seems Inclined strongly toward llulbert , with reservations as to the Wilfred Murray opisodo. MUMIIKK OP PAIILIA.MEXT. Hiirlhcrt'g Drench of Promise. [ Copi/ri/7it ( / lft ) t > u Jama ( JonlnnJemett.l LONDON , April IS. [ New i'ork Herald Cable Special to Tin : BEE. ] Mr. and Mrs. Navarro are at Tunbrldgo Wells. Contrary to report the health of Airs. Nnvarro , who Is sllll generally known as Mary Anderson , Is good , nnd to all appearances she was never happier. She and her husband travel most of the timo. When m London they lis-o with Hamilton Griftln , her stop-falher , al Hainpstead. Ho Is indignant at the report of his daughter's uuhappiness and says she was never happier or in holler health , and Iho re port to the contrary is a canard for which there is not a particle of foundation , The trial of the action of Gertrude Ellis , or Gladys Evelyn , against Mr. Iluribort will take at least .seven days , The counsel ad dressed the Jury today , and Justice Cave summed up the evidence for ever an hour nnd then adjourned court till Monday on account of the Importance of the case. The court's ctmrgo was most impartial. His lordship said thnt if the do- fondant wrote the lotlors his character was gone , nnd If the nllogntions were Iruo thnt this was a conspiracy between the plaintiff and Jackson , or with Wilfred Murray , the offense was most abominable. The issue then was exceedingly grave. They must first look at the antecedents of the parties , The plaintiff's career would not bear the strictest investigation. The defendant or the other hand moved in the best society , had written books which had received the praise of competent critics , and was generally a man of culture and attainments. Under suet circumstances , If they were merely to put tin oaths of the plaintiff and Jacxson Into the scale against the oath of the defendant moil men would naturally say they nro not m < dined to give a verdict against the defendant , Hut of the evidence on both sides that had been produced , thnt of the defense was the most extraordinary. I was said that the letters" were written by u man named Wilfred Murray. It was almost incredible that ono man could imltati another's handwriting so largely wlthou sometimes betraying himself , especially w there was no apparent object for such imita tlon. It was almost incrodlblo also that ono man should write Identically with another which was the defendant's story. If How land or Rowlings were the same person a Murray , there must have been abundant evl dcnco that could have been produced in sup port of that , but they had not had a slnglo person called who uvcn saw or spoke to an ; man as Wilfred Murray , or who could su ; that ho spoke French , as the defendant al legod. There were undoubtedly serlou drawbacks to the defense. At leas > fifty dates were given In diaries ot which the plaintiff alleged the defendant wa In her company. This gave ample scope and material for corroborative evidence. Tin position of the plaintiff did not admit of ho producing as much as the defendant. His lordship proceeded to deal with dotes scrmtlm. It had been stated by the defend ant that ho was at Komo with his wife whoi the plaintiff alleged that ho was with her. I had struck him ( his lordship ) ttiat nlthougl It had been known for a considerable tint that this case win coming , and this was point on which tbo evidence of thy defend ant's wife would bo most Important , yet it wns said now that Mrs. Hurlbert Is abroad. Again when the defendant sot up nn nlltf lint ho was In Wiltshire staying will Seymour no corroborative testimony hnjis won forthcoming. The evidence of MiJ , nd Mrs. Beckett might bo quite true , but ! night thnl of the nlalntllT. f' His lordship tiurdly followed the argument or ttio defendant with respect to the Gro : " enor hotel or Wilson Barrett Incident , t ncntlng on the movements of the writer ci ho letters , glvMtig distinct dates and plac n Ireland in 18S8. His lordship said It wr ortnlnly very remarkable that the dofon nit had not produced the evidence thut ho could not possibly have been traveling as do- cribed. The plaintiff's counsel scorud Hurlbcrt bo- ore the Jury today. Whllo ho was reading omo of Hurlbert's , or Murray' " letters to the uty Hurlbert begun to laugh. The counsel doscribcd such conduct ns very bad tnsto , ind said the Jury might not consider it u aughlng mutter. Touching the verdict , opinions nro divided ml the chances are considered against lurlbcrt In splto of the bad ehurnc- tor of Iho plaintiff. Ilurlbort made a vondorful witness considering the flimsy character of his case. Parliament is very much to the front. The ilaecs ot ilvo members nro vacant through death , and preparations to fill them are In 'nil blast. Then Cnpluin Vnrnoy is under > nll on n horrible cluirgo ; Ducoblan , its mom- icr for Enst Belfast , In under oven n worse cloud , nnd today Storey was nrrostod for per il ry snld to have been committed on a hour- ng of the charge of assuull preferred by him ngainst Superintendent Burrell during the Snxworth colliery strike. Parncll Is gradu- illy falling into the bank-ground. An uncut copy of Thackeray's Virginians n the original boards was sold at Sotheby's ; odny for i''SO.

Peruse my book , dour , und if you find t a lltllo lo your taste , I hope you'll bind it , L > oter Hockham , esn. , with the bosl regards of Iho aulhor. " Dear H. , however , refrained from jinding his nulhor's ' presonlulion copy , much to the Joy of the modern collector. American cllics show u wonderful growth , but London can hold its own , something like nine hundred houses being added lo il each month. Austin Gibbons will find his hands full Milling with til m Verrall for the nlno stone championship of the world. The Pelican club will haug up n .purso of about 500 for the event.

Those nro hard times for American promoters lioront present , and moneyed men nro sittlug tight. Sunday Theatrical * * lor London. LONDON , April 18.---Speclul [ Cablegram to Tun BEE. ] The plan for inaugurating n Sunday theatre cannot bo carried into execu tion as early ns was ox pee ted. J. Huntley McCarthy , son of the Irish loader , and the originator of this scheme , had his arrange ments all well'advanced , but his roeont ill ness has made it necessary for him to post pone the opening of the now theatre which was to have taken place In May. Mr. Mc Carthy says ho has engaged for the first pur- formanco the theatre of the Lyric club In Piccadilly. Ho proposes to give old English plays of the highest class with the best actors nnd actresses thnt can bo obtained. Admission is to bo by sub scription to the whole series' Mr. McCarthy says his proposition has secured the Indorsement of some of the ilrst people In society , nud moreover has been well rccuivcd by the magnates of the stage. Henry Inving Ellen Terry , Mr , Toolo , the comedian , Mr. Pmcro , the playwright , nnd Augustus Har ris , the manager of Drury Lane , have given It their cordial support , nnd Mr. McCarthy Is permitted to hope that some of thorn will take practical part In carrying It out. Ho has nlso been assured that there will bo no oppo sition on the part of thu lord chamberlain to Sunday performances of a respectable char acter , conducted us those are intended 16 be , In n manner not likely to offend British prejudice.

Thu engineer of thu fast mall applied the air brakes when ho saw that a collision was inevitable , but the speed of the train was not checked materially. The engine of the To ledo express was knocked squarely ucrosi thu track and that of thu fast mull reared in the nir , resting on the top of the othor.

A Kcdtiction inVHKCH May head to a General Strike. OTTUMWA , la. , April 18. [ Special Tele gram to TIIK Bin : . ] There Is much uneaal- nes1 * in mining circles In this vicinity which promises to dovclopo into n general strike. At the A very and Chrisholm mines the men arc out because of a reduction of wages. They have stoutly maintained their inability to work for 05 cents a ton hut have offered to resume nt 70 cents , which offer has bcon rejected and it is now n case of lockout. These mines are practically under the control of the Whltobreast company , which takes the output at a contracted price. At Flnglors the miners are compelled to work at 05 cunts and nt Cedar they nro receiving 70 cents. Over on the Hock Island at Bea con , where the : s > umo great corporation takes the output of the Seovers & Glbbs now mine , the old prlcu of 75 cents has been un changed and the men nro worltlnir every day in the week. Tills unequal state of affairs convinces the men that if the Whltobreast company can dictate a 75 cent price at Bea con it"cull also at Flaglcrs and at Avcry mid nt Cedar us well.
