( New York World Cable Special to The Bee. ) It sccniB quite clear from speeches made last night by four members of the Citadstonc government and ntrlklngly similar editorials In the News and Chronlclo this morning and the Speaker , n liberal weekly organ , that the liberal leaders have at last determined to make a vigorous and probably Immediate war on the House of Lords. The House of Commons will meet again next Monday and the annual meeting of the Liberal federation will begin nt Portsmouth on the name day. The program of the federation , published today , Indicates that "ending or mendlng"tho lords will bo almost the solo topic of discussion , and that the House of Commons must forthwith de cide whether to accept the amendments by the lords to. the employers' liability and the parish council : ! bills , or by Insisting on tlio original bills as passed by the Commons pre- clpltato an ominous conflict between the two bodies. The Chronicle frankly says the abolition lition of the House of Lords means revolu tion , adding : "Tho lords have temporarily wrecked the three great measures of the season. They have rejected the homo rule bill for the pacification of Ireland by such Just redress centuries of outrageous ns can now bo offered for rageous misrule. They have mangled the employers' liability bill In frank contempt for the unanimous claim of the workers to protection of Ilfo and limb. They have mauled the parish councils bill In sheer dis gust that any part of village and parish ad ministration should bo taken out ot the hands of the landlords and the parson and be conducted by the people themselves In their own way. The second chamber is an effete Institution. It Is useless and danger ous and should bo abolished with all con venient dispatch. " The News , owned by Arnold Morloy. the postmaster general , Is not less mandatory and explicit . . , . - . , . . , . . . . . . " " exclaims. "Wo "Let the quarrel come , It need hardly say what the quarrel Is. It Is the old controversy between the representa- 'tlvo principle nnd the hereditary principle. The controversy has now reached an acute stage nnd cells for Immediate settlement. " "Present appearances , " says the Bpsaker , "Indicate that wo are on the eve of ono of the fiercest struggles on record between the representative chamber nnd the body that only represents the absurd and exclusive privileges of a narrow caste. " A'OICED IN PUBLIC SPEECH. Henry Campbell Canncrman , secretary of war , spoke nt Newcastle last night of the fashion In which tlio unrepresentative lords have emasculated bills passed by the popu lar majority In the representative commons. "Tho lords , " he said , "have assorted the absolute privilege of tholr order and the sel fish Interests ot themselves and friends. Let the quarrel come. There must bo no compromise and no yielding on It. " Arnold Morley nt Nottingham and Attor ney General Russell at Welsbeeh used sub- Btantlally the same terms , nnd Prot. Brycc , chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster , author of "Tho American Commonwealth , " and regarded as the most conservative mem ber ot the government , expressed perhaps more radical views than his colleagues. "Tho liberal party , " he said , "would have preferred to proceed with measures of so cial reform rather than bo driven to mend the machinery of the government , If the lords themselves had permitted them to do BO , but If the lords choojo to force a conflict , the conflict miibt bo facsd , and an citprt made to clear away this bar on which so many vessels fielghtcd with uspful legislation have been wrecked. What would bo thu Issue of a strufglo between the hereditary house and the commons of England few could doubt , and the liberal party would bo true to Its best traditions in accepting It with promptitude and courage. " All this , In the present excited state ot popular feeling , may present startling events within the coming fortnight. REL13ASINQ THE HUSH FUND. It has been a , long tlmo slnco any for ward step has been taken toward releasing the Irish relict fund now In Paris , and which was mainly subscribed In the United States , but n report Is current this week that an agreement has been arrived ut by which the French lawyers engaged In the suit between the Irish leadcra to the effect that on presentation of an application signed by Mr. McCarthy for his sldo and Dr. Kenny for the Redmondltcs , the Messrs , Mnnroo will hand over to them jointly tliu $200,000 locked uIn > their bank slnco the Parnolllto split. The McCarthyUea deny that this particular decision has been ob tained , but admit that the prospect of an early release Is greatly Improved. Ono con dltlon that they Insist upon Is that after the payment of liabilities Incurred previous to the split the balance shall bo devoted to the relict of evicted tenants exclusively. It Is estimated that after thn payment of claims there would bo $150,000 for this purpose. STOL1J.THB FAMILY JEWELS. A robbery at Weybournu house , the resi lience of Captain Burns , aide-de-camp of the duke ot Connuught , by which Mrs. Charles Polluun Clinton lost Jewelry valued at from fS.OOO to $10,000 , was reported In yesterday's papers here. Captain Burns married Mis ? Forbes I.elth ot New York and Mrs. Peiham Clinton was Miss Dlzorcga of Now York , A reporter wont down to obtain from Captain Burns and Mm. Clinton full detail * of the bur glary \Varnliaiu In Surry , Weybouriie house Is a quaint red brick building about 200 years old. The storli)3 are rathar low. It la Ju an Isolated petition , about two miles ( row AUershot. Captain Burns said ; " \lrrn 10 o'clock I was sitting with Mr. Clirton , smoMiiK after dinner , The ladles thcu in the drawing room. Wo were speaking of a book and Mr. Clinton said ho thought ho had It In his room , which Is over the billiard room. Both rooms are recent additions to the house and therefore out ot the way. Ho went up ntalrs and could not open the door. Ho opoko to one of the ser vants who had been In the room before dinner , and wo alt went to examine. Finally the servant climbed In through a window by n ladder which had been left by the thieves. Things were generally overturned In the room , nnd Mrs. Pclham Clinton's jewels were gone. Thn thieves had stolen a ladder from a neighboring farmer , climbed a low fence In front of the house and placed the ladder against the window of this room , which Is at olio sldo ot the house , and had stuck wedges under the door to prevent surprise. The window Is not more than ten feet high. This was the remotest part ot the house. No servants had been there before dinner. The Jobbery likely took place during din ner. Wo do not understand why the thieves picked out at once the room where the most valuable and most portable property was to bo found. They showed considerable familiarity with the house and neighborhood. " Mrs. Clinton was much distressed by the loss of her Jewelry. She would not for sentimental reasons , like to give n detailed list of the articles stolen , but they Include a very valuable diamond tiara , a pair of diamond stars and a number of pieces which had been a long time In the ducal family of Peiham Clinton. Her husband Is a cousin of the present duke ot Newcasto. ! BISMARCK AND THE KAISER. A telegram from Berlin gUes ofllclal con firmation to the report exclusively given In the World's Berlin cable of January 27 that the kaiser would speedily return Bismarck's visit. Count Eulenberg , the marshal of the court , said today that the visit will certainly bo made this month , but the emperor has not decided whether ho will stop at Frled- rlchsruh on the way to Wllhclmshavcn , whither he goes to assist at the launch of anew now man-of-war on the 20th , or on his re turn to Berlin. I have seen today a letter from Count Herbert Bismarck to a friend In London , who asked whether the prlnco could recclvo him nt Frledrlchsruh. In reply ho Indicates that the prince Is not as well as the papers represent. "I hasten to tell you , " writes the count , "that Dr. Schwenlnger has stopped all visits for some time to come. Father wants rest and must bo left alone for the present. " In the paper comments on the disaster to the Kearsarge , It Is recalled hero today that u scholarship at Charing Cross hospital commemorates one incident ot the famous naval light oft Cherbourg. The assistant surgeon of the Alabama was an Englishman named Lewellyn. After carefully tending the wounded during the progress of the con flict , he i eTused to leave his post till the last wounded man had been removed. Then ho trlod to keep afloat with an Improvised Ilfo preserver made ot two shell boxco , but unfortunately In vain.

Copcland , a saloon passenger on board the Allan steamship Corean , which recently put Into Kllttuih In u .disabled condition , and who Is said to be the only passenger who has been allowed nshoro up to the present , complains of Captain Mann'c refusal to allow the pas- sciiKcrd to land. The passengers , Mr. Copeland Miys , protested , but thu only re ply they uot was that they were on board for the voyngo and not for leisure. Mr. Copcland added that the steerage passengers came Into the saloon seeking signatures for n board of trndo survey and claiming damages. According to Mr. Copeland these passengers wcro ordered out ot the saloon before they could obtain the namcH. Describing the voyage from the Clyde , ho fcald the sea was extremely rough and n leak was discovered on the Corean when she was fiOO miles out. Eventually there were llvo feet ot water in the fnglrio room nnd ten feet In the stoke room. The passen gers had thu greatest dlfllculty In keeping the water down. The passengers worked over twenty hours a day for three days , working In gangs nt the pumps , Mr. Copcland complained that the passengeni did moro than their share of the work at the pumps , and when the steamer arrived at Kllrubh ho Bald ho wished to land and that ho will hold the company llablo for the delay which he Incurred. Captain Mann , said Mr. Copeland , Insisted upon his signing an. agreement forfeiting his passage. Eventually , however. Mr. Copeland got ashore on a doctor's certificate.

The threatened agra rian opposition to the Russo-Qcrman com mercial treaty Is rapidly collapsing. The emperor's speech at the recent parllmentory banquet and the fears of a dissolution ol the Reichstag which would probably result In a virtual annihilation of the conservatives wcro not alone In serving to destroy the artificial agrarian agitation , which was really aimed at the deposition of Chancel lor von Caprlvl , As tlmo elapsed It was found opportune to get Prince Bismarck's views on the subject. The Hamburger Nachrlchten accordingly exhibits a sudden change of views , probably In anticipation ol the emperor's approaching visit to Bismarck , and takes a more conciliatory tone , drawIng - Ing n cautious distinction between the at tacks on the chancellor nnd on the govern ment , declaring the Russian treaty Is necessary In consequence of the treaties which Russia and Italy made. Continuing , the Hamburger Nachrlchten says It fears a rupture between the great manufacturing and agricultural classes , and advlscn the government to do Its utmost to prevent such a calamity. Count von Eulen- bcrg , the Prussian premier , has been using his Influence on RehalC of the treaty with the leading conservatives and has already met with much success. In addition , the Im perialists were won over by their organ , the Post , warmly advocating the acceptance of the treaty. The meeting of the Berlin Merchants asso ciation last night was well attended and the adherents of the treaty weru In an Immense majority. The Agrarian league has convened tt meeting for February 17 In one of the larg est halls ot Berlin , capable of seating C.OOO people. Reporters will be excluded from this meeting. In addition , a counter movement to the merchants' demonstration has been fixed for February 19 , and , In the meanwhile , meetings will be held throughout the coun try , -"Nearly "nil' lhe'cha'nibera of' commerce will hold meetings In Its support. The first Indication ot the strength of the respective hides will be shown In Parlia ment In a vole on a precedence motion , sub mitted by the Agrarian league , and demandIng - Ing n sliding scale and additional duties against countries with a depreciated cur rency. This would chiefly affect Austria and Russia. TInow treaty benefits but llttlo the German cotton Industry , because any con cession granted In this direction would have to bo extended to English manufacturers also. Chancellor von Caprlvl's standing has won derfully changed. Even those who did not admire him now Judge him as a wise states man , who , In the matter of treaties , went cautiously step by step , retaining the duty on grain as a moans to force Russia Into the treaty. Now that the work Is finished and Russia's concessions greatly exceed ex pectations , the treaty policy , as a whole , appears to have been carried out with fore sight and skill. The text of the Russo-German commercial treaty was published this afternoon. There are twenty-one clauses. It Is drawn up In French and approves of the most favored nation treatment and protects the ( subjects of either contracting party engaged In commerce - merco or trade against the confiscations of their property by Judicial or administrative authorities. Mutual Intercourse Is not ham pered by any prohibitions against the Im port or export of merchandise.except In the case ot a state trading In monopolies or In the case of the sanitary measures. Vessels of both powers , with certain restrictions , will receive equal treatment. The treaty Is to last ten years , after which It Is pos sible to terminate It after a year's notice on cither hide. The now bill for the abolition of certificates of origin provides that merchants , on exporting - porting wheat , rye , oats , barley or malt , shall rocolvo a warrant entitling them to Im port , duty free , the same kind of cereals li good condition within six months. Postmaster Stelnhan , replying to a de mand In parliament for cheaper postal rates , declared It would onfall too largo a reduction of the revenue , and Intimated that the amount which the revenue would lose by such a reduction " would possibly reach C.OOO.OOO marks. The duke of Suxo-Coburg-Ootha lias pre sented the Mudgeburg Cuirassiers , of which regiment Prlncn Bismarck was recently nude colonel , with the helmet , cuirass and sabro oC the late Duke Ernest of Saxo-Coburg- flotha , who held thji.colonelcy of that regi ment for forty-four years. Ellnt and Brandt , respectively the editor and Hub-editor of the anarchist pub lication , Socialist , nnd Wolnor , the printer ot the paper , have each been sentenced to six months In prison for publishing articles Inciting to outrages , U U announced Russia 'will not Increase the Finnish tariff before 1899. The Russian delegates were dined by their German colleagues at the KalBtirhonV tonight In honor of the signing ot the treaty. ( lliiiUtuuo intliiiKliiMlrnlly : Ohci-rrd.

The French and Portuguese commlssloneis also sent regrets , basing their action on tlio anomalous condition of affairs here. British Minister Woodhouso simply expressed re grets for not accepting the invitation. A proposition to Import more Chinese la borers has been defeated. This action Is due to the fact that the Japanese government demanded that the Importation of Chinese should bo controlled by the Japanese gov ernment.

Would you blame the Russian minister for landing men from ono of his ships In the harbor to protect Russian Interests , particularly If Wall street , Broad way and Fifth avenue belonged to Russian residents ? Would you blame the Russian minister if ho saw through the excitement that your president was In the wrong , would be defeated in the end , and unhesitat ingly expressed such an opinion ? Would you not yourself be among the ranks of the loyal citizens crowding to suppress your commlttco ot public safety ? Would you not denounce any person who , after your success , charged that the presence of Russian forces had anything to do with the result ? Quibbling Old- Terms , MADRID , Feb. 10.

Scnwitlonnl telegrams have been published In Chicago nnd other papers under Houston date telling ot the lynching of train robbers hero. No lynching has taken place. The only arrest has been that ot Jack Dilllngham , whoso shoo tracks fitted those at the wreck and led to his house , and whoso recently discharged shot guns contained wads corresponding to those found at the wreck. He Is still In jail nnd continues , although conflicting stories , to contend that he Is Innocent. Ofllclala are very reticent ns to clews , but aio working diligently. The boy who Is said to have made a written statement Is kept under surveillance. His statement is said to be that he was employed to carry the crowbar to remove the spikes , but took no part In tTie wreck. It Is said his statement Is to tha. effect that the plot was concocted by two men. Their expectation was that the whole train would roll down the thirty foot embankment , and that all on board would be killed. They were there to rob the dead bodies. As the passenger coaches remained on the track' , lhcyfeared on at tack from them , and abandoned the plan of robbery , running * away-as noon as the mall , express and baggage cars crashed through Into the basin. This theory Is now accepted , as the ex press safe was unmolested , and no attempt was made to steal the registered mall. Of ficers have several clews they'ore working on , and arrests may any tlmo occur. The day before the wreck a negro boy went to Joe Devlne's pawnshop and tried lo buy slugs for a muzzle-loading shotgun. He has not been found since. T.I If US IT .11.1. HACK. Joseph 13.
