LONDON' , Dec. 10. The great liberal leader ,
Itt. Hon. William 10. Gladstone , prime
minister of England , won another parlia
mentary victory today alter lighting at the
head of his followers la a most gallant
iniMincr.
What was practically a vote ot censure
was moved by Lord George Hamilton in con-
'
ncctlon with the alleged weakness of the
Itrills'h navy as compared with the com
bined navies of Uussta and Trance , and
after an exciting debate the motion was re
jected , and Mr. Gladstone's amendment to
the effect that the House had confidence that
the government would pay nuc < ] iiato atten
tion to the navy was adopted without a di
vision , cnusmc much enthusiasm hi the lib
eral ranks.
Mr. Gladstone's followers hope and bcltero
this victory in the House of Commons will
bo followed bv another victory at Aldington
this week , whcro tholiberal candidate rot-
that seat has raised the banner of rebuke to
the Liords for the rejection ot the home rule
bill , and , If the liberals secure n greatly
increased majority , It' is thought that Mr ,
Gladstone may determine to uissolvo
Parliament.
Lord Hamilton's Motion.
L.ord George Hamilton moved the Imme
diate consideration of a motion to make a
considerable addition to the strength of the
British navy and to ask tlio government to
otsUo its intentions , in regard to the nary.
Lord Hamilton then blamed the govern
ment ' , or , thp present situation of affairs ,
i Im't , continuing , lie utgcd It to utilize the
time which was still available. The
speaker insisted that his motion was not in
spired b.v party objects , and dwelt eloquently
upon -necessity of losinp'sight of party
politics iu nu effdrl to increase the strength
of the British fleet.
Mr. Gladstone , who was greeted with
cheers , moved an amendment to tlio pfl'cot
.that It was the primary duty of the rcspon-
.slblo ministers of tlio crown to malco ado-
'q'l'mte proylsio'ns.for the defense of the em
pire dn'd' that ' the House relies
upon them to submit fitting proposals in
duo time. Continuing , Mr. Gladstone urged
that the motion could not bo regarded as a
uonpirlisnn motion , as it was practically a
vote of censure against the government ,
and oapeclultv against himsolf. The object
ot Ijord Oiconro Hamilton's motion , Mr.
Gladstone Insisted , was to overturn the
government.
Ono I'olnt In Kujjland'h Fnvor.
The premier then dwelt upon what ho
classed as being an important point In Eng
land's favor , saying that a flsrt-elnss war
ship could bo completed in England in three
years ; but , ho added , in Franco it took four
and a half yours to complete a first-class
battleship. The admiralty , Mr. Gladstone
assured the house , was now inquiring
into the means of shortening even
these three years , and it would bo reducing
the proceedings of the house to the level
of u farce for it to y.Ul upon the government
to make u slatomciit upon such u vast ques
tion in the three days remaining before
Christmas. It would bo dangerous and lr-
regular , Mr. Ghulstotio also said , to call on
thu house to form a judgment regard in ; ; tno
naval question upon : i change of debate or a
spoec.li of which all thu statements worn con
tested , Mr , Gladstone then called upon thu
house to reject i.ord Hamilton's motion ,
quoting precedents for so doing.
T'liore ' was a large attendance cif members
of Parliament , anil the galleries were
thronged with people anxious to hear the
long expected naval debate , which has boon
brought uboiit by the ncwspiperscure , which
started after the visit of the Knglish nows-
p.ipor correspondents to Toulon at the time
of Urn visit of the Russian squadron to thai
part. Mr. Gladstone s.iln Hut motion before
ilio house was nt complete variance with
Ijini George Hamilton's own course when ,
as first lord of ho admiralty , ho was asked
to make a premature statement of plans
which had been presented to the govern
ment. The present government intended
lo mlhoro to the old system of annual
plans ar.d premature statements should
pnly bo made In u moment of owerconev
i.ml danger , which dhl not \ist at the
present time. Kntjlnml , the promiur in-
filsted , had nineteen first-class warsiilpsnnd
compared with thorn. Franco and Himm ,
combined , has onl.s fourteen , and in battleships -
ships of all classes Great Britain was far
ahead of the two countries mentioned.
Great Britain , ho s.ild , Had .W.OOO tons of
iiirhtlug ships while l-Y.inee ami Uussh com
bined only had illK.OiV ) tons of similar ves
sels. In nddltion , ho added , in ovorv class
the British wnrjlilrs were larger and more
powerful than those of franco and Kussia.

In conclusion the veteran premier ex
pressed the hope that the house would not
give a bad example by countenancing the
motion of the member for Kallng ( Lord
Ocorco Hamilton ) , which , for the first time ,
would marshal the forces ( or the nuruoso of
lnipurlaldcfen.se.
When Mr. Oladstouo finally took his seat ,
after this brilliant turning down of the con
servative cx-llrst lord of the admiralty It
was the general opinion that the grand old
man hndvon another remarkably parlia
mentary victory , and that ho had clearly
demonstrated to the discomfiture of hU
enemies that "Old Man Gladstone" wns ns
full of llaht as the younpoat of them , and
that ho was always prepared to upset tlio
combinations of the opposition by a brilliant
array of fnets and figures.
Finally I/ml OCOI-RO Hamilton's motion
\vns rejected by n vote of ' MO to SOI , a result
which was followed by loud cheering from
ttio liberals.

ItEUNn , Dec. 11) ) . The new law dealing
with anarchism Is of a most drastic clinrnc-
tor. U provides that people who Inclto
others to commit outrages by use of explo
sives or otherwise are liable to bo punished
b.v .1 term of Imprisonment at penal servi
tude. In nddltion. the law provides that
any person found to bo In rossosslon of
chemicals , etc. , for use In the manufacture
of explosives for nu evil purpose , or
those nldlncr or abetting in such man
ufacture In any iniiiinur , are liable teat
at least fifty years imprisonment. Pot-sons
causing explosions nro liable to punishment
which varies from ton years penal servitude
or for life. Anybody wiillnlgy spreading in
citements to commit outrages is punishnhlo
by a line of f..OOO , by Imprlsoment , or both.
The niossago of the federal council to the
national assembly says It has been decided
to be expedient to proceed with relentless
rlifor against the intrigues of anarchists , as
altboiurii Switzerland has hitherto enjoyed
immunii.y from anarchists' outrages , yet
there are sitriis recently that anarchism may
become a destructive factor in Switzerland.

The defalcation of , Chris Frahni , one of
the trusted employes of the Gorman Savings
bank , published in Tirr. SUNMAV Ilin : , cre
ated great surprise among the many
friends and acquaintances of I-Ynlim. The
young man is well known in Omaha and
bis friends were slow to believe lhat ho
was guilty of the serious charge made
against him.
It now appears that his" shortage at the
bank will ninch at ) least # : iiUl ( , but as the
bank is secured by the cx-clerlc's bondsmen
it will not lose anything and the officials are
inclined lo drop the mallei * und lot Krjhm
off as lightly as possible.
On the night before the discovery was
made that Frulim was short in his accounts
two clerks wore called upon to remain ut the
bank lor scvcr.il hours at night to do some
clerical work. At 11 o'clock at night they
were very much astonished tohciiriho alarm

situation notified a bank oniclal , who ud-
ndjustud the tlmo lock , and ; i vvaioli was
kept on the bank during the night. There
was f.'I.OOO in cash in the vault that night ,

In the Interest of licononiy Further
Kelronchmcnt Ailvlncil < > Ordi
nance I'ltsidU Uimnlmoiuly.
Mr. llascnll's purity resolution came up
at the mooting of the city council last oven-
ing. Dr , Hollmgs and .ludgo McCullochvlio
were leaders in the Into anti-vice crusade ,
were in the lobby , as were others interested
in that movement. The resolution , scoring
tlio mayor and lire and police commissioners
ami domainlug ! the strict enforcement of
the gambling laws of the state , had been
referred to the committee on judiciary , com
posed of Saundcrs , Wheeler and Hascall.
Tlio committee reported that It had found
that open gambling was being conducted In
tlio city in open violation of the laws of Ne
braska , which make ot the offense n felony ,
punishable by confinement In the state
penitentiary ; that m vlow ot the fuels , Mr.
Hascall's resolution calling upon the mayor
and police commissioners forun enforcement
of the laws bo adopted.
Mtmro Attacks tlio Itopurt.
Mr. Mutiro opposed the adoption of the
same. Ho did not bollovo the council was
the jurv , court or police officers nnd that the
authority of thu body had ondod. Ho said
that clti/.cus could bring action for violations
of the laws and that charges of malfeasance
iuoulcuby the oftiolals could bo brought.
Ho did not believe in considering a case of
sour grapes for n member of the council , and
was opposed to assisting n councilman in
getting oven , when that councilman had
gene liito the gambling houses and solicited
the support of the gamblers , and threatened
that if it was not given ho would even up
scores later on. Ho moved to lay the report
and resolution en the table.
Mr. Hascall assorted that If Mr. Munro inti
mated that he hud ever solicited the support
of the gamblers when no was a uaudldnto
foroflloo , hu was stating a falsehood.
The motion to lay on tlio table put a stop
to debate , but the members took advantage
of the roll call to express themselves.
Mr. Brunei- supported the committee , and
thought the state law on gambling should
bo enforced.
Mr. Edwards recalled his oath to support
the laws of the state , and hello veil in voting
to support the same , regardless of his per
sonal views as to whether the law was good
or bad.
Mr. Ho well thought that there was a
similarity between prohibition and gambling
laws and did not believe they could bo en
forced. Ho was ready to vote for a resolu
tion wiping out all vlco , but was opposed to
discrimination.
Mr. Jacobscn said thai while gambiinir
was an evil ; it did exist nnd would exist , and
ho bclioved in leaving well enough alone.
Mr. Munro said that the resolution called
on the mayor only to enforce ordinances
prohibiting gambling , when , in fact , there is
no ordinance of the , clty prohibiting the
Mr. Princesaid _ the intent of the resolu
tion was not'to suppress gambling , but to
close up four or five places running openly
and make room for 100 that would Do con
ducted ana the uollco could not locate them.
Ho believed in regulation of the evil.
Mr. Saunders said that while it .could not
bo any moro prohibited tnan other crimes ,
he did not favor the sanction of open gam-
blinir.
Mr. Spocht said under the state law thcro
had been no convictions and that it had cost
the city $20,000 to'prosecute. Ho had voted
for the ordinance and \vu proud of it. '
Mr.- St".olbelieved in rcKUatIugin' | ovll
that could not bo suppressed , and - < lmd
learned the lesson 'froin '
twentyyehrs'rosl-
detije in the city. Ho said that tho'gchtlo-
maii from the First could turn n Coinstonk
or Parkburst and commence prosecutions
under the state law. and that the ordinance
did not stand in thp way.
' Mr. Wheeler said that the council had at
tempted by ordinance to regulate the stat
utes and a felooy. He cited the state law In
support of his position.
The motion to lay on the table was by vote
as follows : Yeas , Back. Howell , .lacolison ,

Twenty-Three Vetors Dlspoied OC.
The mayor submitted his vote of a concur
rent resolution directing the city treasurer
to tender the award b.v the appraisers for
land condemned for the Southeast park.
The reasons he pave wore the same as those
stated when a similar resolution was vetoed
a few weeks ago. The veto was sustained ,
Mavor Bemis vetoed tlio claim of W. S.
Hutchinsonamounting to ? ( XK ) , for four smoke
consumers placed iu the cuy hall boilers. A
warrant , unsigned by the mayor , was de
livered to Mr. Hutchinson nnd ho received
from the city treasurer a check for the
amount. Tlio mayor did not believe Hutch
inson was entitled to payment for the reason
that no proof had been furnished to the
committee on public property and buildings
and binlulng inspector that the nmcbino
would fully abate all mnoko nuisances as required -
quired by the terms of the contract nnd thai
the nuisance , in the judgment of the mayor ,
was not fully abated. The veto was sus
tained b.v a vote of 10 to 1.
The mayor vetoed the monthly bill of the
Thomson-Houston Electric Light company ,
amounting to 5-.58S.25 , lor the reasons here
tofore given , that the company is not furnish
ing the lights of candle power required by
Uio contract. The mayor boliuvod that tlio
company could demonstrate the correctness
of its claim in the courts if the same was cor
rect. The mayor also offered , in case his po
sition was sustained b.v the council , to direct
the city attorney to make no delay case In the
company biimrs suit , But to meet tlio issue
squarely ami secure the decision of thocourc
at the earliest , time possible. By a vote of
II to : i the veto was not sustained.
The resolution rosclndlng the former reso
lution , setting iisldu $500 for the Board of
Honlth , was vetoed D.V the ninyoi * and the
votisustained.
An item for f.Mil.03 in favor of Hugh
Murphy was vetoed for the reason that the
item should DO In the name of J. 10. ICUoy , a
clerical error causing the mistake. The veto
WHU sustained ,
ElKhlccn items in the appropriation ordi
nance amounting to $ tl,7ffU.lM , were vetoed ,
They were drawn against the special fund
for changing the grade of Ploreo street from
Twenty-second to Twentv-fourth , and as
ihu dlstricttcourb has doclurcd the change
of grade void , the mayor did not .bcliovo il
proper to issue warrants against a fund not
existing. Tlio veto was sustained ,

the belief that ho Is receiving some consul-
oration and benefit under the tariff , al

line products produced by the cheapest
labor In the world. The producers of our
croat export staples , which , having
fully supplied the homo market , must
overflow and seek larger purchasers
elsewhere. The only effect of a protective
tariff is to take away from them from 0110-

promised homo market Is further from him

Spirits uiuCT.Iqnor.
In the schedule of spirits , wines and other
beveraees the changes mado. are slight and
with the view tunm djiqt.ion ot Increased
revenue from these very proper sources of
revenue taxation , , , , .
It may be said fhiitVe nro not justified iii
maicmg so Inrgo A reduction in revenue at a
time when covornment ' 'receipts and ex
penditures can no longer bo balanced
and when some new source of
temporary revenue must bo sought
for. Wo have been compelled todotain some
articles upon the dutiable list and to leave
some duties higher than we desired because
of the present necessity of the treasury , but
we have not felt that any temporary shrinkage -
ago of revenue should deter us
from carrying out as effectually as
wo could the instructions ulven
by the American people when this conzress
was put into power. Our own experience
and that of other countries has shown that
decrease of traffic duties immediately
operates to such an enlargement of commerce ,
of production and consumption , as rapidly
to nwko up any apparent loss of revenue
threatened through these reductions.
A most important change in the bill pro
posed in the present law will bo found In the
general substitution of ad valorem for
siiecillc duties. Ttus must always bo the
character of revenue levied upon tariff
articles , and particularly those that include
tlio neccss rios of life.
It is tha purpose of the present bill to re
peal hi tote section ! t of the tariff act of Oc
tober 1,1890 , commonly but most erroneously
called Its reciprocity provision. That act
placed sugar , molasses , coffee , tea and
liides on the free list , but authorized the
president , should no bo satisfied that the
government of any other country produc
ing sucli articles imposed dutins upon
tlio ngricultural or ether products of the
United States which ho might deem
made the reciprocity unequal nnd
unreasonable , to suspend the provision under
which these articles were admitted free to
this country. This section has been of no
appreciable advantage to American ex
porters. It is not , iu Intention or effect a
provision for reciprocity , but for retaliation.
The majority report is signed by the demo
cratic members of the committeo. The re

entirely lost my hearing nnd was deaf for moro

and had several physicians attempt It , hut no
Improvement was ajaivnt , I ronltl Jiathi-
Hiiisli no Moniitl. I was intending puttliiK
tmviulf under tlio caio of a specialist when
some ono siijjKoitcd that possibly Hood's Bar-
BaparllU would do mo soinu KOOI ! . I bcuan
