CH'IDREN ' PROHIBITED FROM WORKING. Homo Kcorotnry MnttticivM Ooiiommoil by tlio PI-OHM The Truth o Corfu's TJIIIO Hopurt Continued. LONDON- , June I8. ln the debate in the house of commons today on the factory bill the amendment of Mr. Sidney Buxton ( liberal - oral ) to prohibit children under eleven years of ago from working was adopted by n vote of 'JOJ to ISO. The government was thus de feated. The majority ruled the few conservative vative members. Mr. Buxton's amendment will affect 160.00J to 200,000 children In tills kingdom now employed In manufacturing districts as half timers. It is n humanitarian reform and was opposed by the bulk of the operatives who benefit by the labor of their offspring. The liberals argued that the abolishing ishing ot child labor would provide moro work for adults. Sir .1. E Uorst explained that the proposal had been agreed to at the Berlin labor conference - once In order to bring England into harmony with other nations on the only point on which she was behind hand , but It was distinctly understood that the signing of the conference protocal did not bind England's ' legislation on thu subject. Mr. Morley challenged the government to say whether they opposed Mr. Buxton's amendment or not , whereupon Homo Secre tary Matthews intimated that the government would not accept the amendment. Sir J , E. Gorst , who was a delegate to the Berlin conference , abstained from voting. The object of the Buxton clause might still bo defeated by an amendment , but it Is ex pected that the government will accept the situation. The News in commenting on the matter said that tno blow is both damaging and ig nominious , and that not oven the resignation of Homo Secretary Matthews will save the government from discredit and disgrace. The Chronicle says : "Truly Secretary Matthews is a costly luxury to the stato. The defeat of the government will seriously damage the prospects of every unionist can didate in the next general election.

This was the second day's hearing of the appeal of Gladys Evelyn from the Judgment pronounced against her in her suit against William Henry Hurlburt. Counsel for Miss Evelyn resumed his argu ment by reading entries from the plain tiff's diary in regard to the innocent letters which she claims to have received from Mr. Hurlburt , but which , it is said , were In the handwriting of a person called Wilfred Murray. According to Miss Evelyn's coun sel , there is not a shadow of evidence to show that Wilfred Murray over existed. The attorney general , Sir Hichard Web ster , on behalf of Mr. Hurlburt said that the most deliberate perjury had boon proved against Miss Evelyn In regard to the rela tions which existed between herself and both Mr. Hurlburt and Jackson. The Judge who presided nt the trial of the suit , continued the attorney general , dwelt upon the point of her perjury , and the jury were unanimous that no promise of marriage had over been made. Sir Hichard Webster also said that if the bogus letters which had been produced had been genuine some of these letters were of so ghastly and horrible a nature that they could hardly bo associated with any man's ' promise to marry. Right lion. Edward Ebenezer Kay , one of the lord justices of her majesty's ' court of ap peals , hero asked to see ono of the indecent loiters referred to in order to compare Its handwriting with that of one which was ac knowledged to have boon written by Mr. Hurlburt. A letter from the indecent lot was then handed up to the bench and Sir Kiehard Webster , continuing , said : "I asked that poor old " Lord Esbcr , master of the rolls , inter rupted the attorney general , asking sharply , "What old man ! " "Why , " replied Sir Hichard , calmly , "Mr. Hurlburt is between sixty-live and seventy years of age. When ho was asked If ho had over written a loiter of such a character to any woman , no replied , 'Never , ' and no one who knows Mr. Hurlburt woiiid bellcvo that ho could write such lllth. " At this stage of tljo proceedings Sir Rich- aril Webster said that ho proposed to road tlio letters which "that woman" had sent to Mr , Hurlburt , but Miss Evelyn Indignantly protested ttmt she had never written to Mr. Hurlburt In her life. During the course of Sir Richard Web ster's argument the master of the rolls , Lord Usher , asked whether there was any evi dence that the defense Imd tried to find the man Wilfred Murray , who was alleged to bo the real author of the indecent letters. Mr. Candy , on behalf of Miss Evelyn , re plied that there was not the slightest evi dence that the defense had tried In any way to locate Murray. The hearing was then ad journed until tomorrow.

Mate Lowell says that without exception it was the most fear ful sight ho ever saw. In live minutes it was all over. When the police arrived upon the scene three bodies hacked almost beyond recognition lay inside the ropes. The fourth man was so crazed by his wounds that before thu police could lay bands on him ho drove his own knife through his heart.

W wuvoTrtv , Juno 18.-fSpoclal to Tim Biil : : The ofllciaU of the postofllco aop.irt- ment have furnished some interesting statis tical Information connected with thiMipora- lions of the postal establishment They claim that the figures made up by thorn nro a good Index of the business situation in the country , for when limes nro good the postal receipts steadily advance , while In "off" jcars the showing they can make is not so satisfactory. It Is hardly necessary to add that the statistics for the lust year are of the prime order. But the present purpuso Is not to generalize , but rather to glvo some facts and figures of Interest relative to tlio opera tions of the postal system in Nobraskn. The total postal receipts In the state during the last year reached the sum of $ ' . ' ' ' - . win 07. tSnturally enough , nearly all ol tln- < largo fund came from the sales of postage stumps , stamped envelopes and postal cards , f-r it Is from ' 'small ! < aics and ijuick prollts" that Undo Sam gathers In Ills poual millions , and those rcali/.cd ? ! i\lsi.'jt. ; Another source of revenue is from box rents , winch yielded $ > tiil."ii ) ' .HI. lOven the salo.s uf wnsto paper secured fl'J'.TS. Those are the tbroo sources of postal iiwenuo , as the money order establishment Is considered a distinct Institution. Durlnir tlio year the total expenditures amounted to flToOlil.or. ; From tills it can be seen thill the expenditures in tlio state exceeded the receipts liy f710,0V > 10. It Is proper , though , to say that this is not entirely a fair statement ; indeed , it Is rather mislead ing , as tlie largest Horn in the expense account Is for the transportation of tno malls on the urcat trunk llnoi passing through Nebraska , and in which , of cour-,11. there is ll'tlo of it local character. But this is all iiifluded in tliestnto'.s quota of expenses. The expodl- lures for the transportation of the mails credited to Nebraska last year amounted to Sl.liO.Wd.tn. There was paid to postmasters as eompen- Ration SCJT.'illl.M.'i ' , and for clcrk.s in postof- llcos , rent , light and fuel , $ > 0ST-U > 0. The letter carriers received $ n'iOi.S'J ( ) mid the railway mail clerks traveling In thu state ? iriiiii ! ( . " . There are 1,10" postofllces in the suite , an increase of thirty-seven over the previous year. The number of now unices ostublbhod was seventy-one , but thirty-four wcro dis- continuod. As to the postmasters , tlio figures contro vert the old maxim relating to officeholders that "few dto and none resign , " as seven ot the Nebraska postmasters iliod wl.iiin the year and U.'iy resigned. The removals num bered lit. As is well known it is the bnsiuoss inter ests of the larger towns and cities that go to swell the postal receipts. This is shown locally Irani the fact that the presidential pjitolllces , whicli In .Nebraska are seventy-eight In number , contributed ot the ngtrroiraio receipts , $ drM.U > il.ll. ( Tlio ag- irreguto salaries of tiieso presidential post masters , so termed because the annual re ceipts are sufficient to justify thu p.iment of a salary of $1,000 , when the appointment of Iho postmaster vests in the president ov law , ninout loSllS..KW. ' Next we como to thu extent of the mail trnnsportational service. Ii8 length , cost and character , of course , still confined to Ne braska. The length of the star mail routes In the state is ni78 , : miles , and they arc carried on nt an expense ol $ : iltW.'la ! . The railroad mail service is 0H8 , ! miles In length , which bus an annual cost of ? ' . ) : ) S,17J.ll. Besides this , tliere is an annual expenditure of 1 Mi.'ii.'J5 : ; for railway postoHlco cars. Tlio tola , length of the mail service in the state , including special ollico service , N 1'J,110 miles , operated at an expense of $ lir..lt .

It can bo said , in addition , that Omaha is among tbo very tow cities where the free delivery service Is self-sustaining , erin in other words , where the receipts from local postage exceed the cost of the letter carrier system. Another thing , the returns ahow shat the revenue from second-class matter In Omaha Is rapidly increasing from year to year , n fact that speaks volumes for the newspapers of tlio city , the percentage of in crease lor the last year having been over 'JO per cent.
