MESSAGE OF THE DELEGATE Showing What Has Been Accomplished Dur ing the Post Two Years. JUDGE WILHERE TO THE HIBERNIANS Work of the ( Ircnt Iruli Order Iteileued Kchithm to the Church iind State tloiiH for the ( ! ooU of the Order. The morning cession of the Ancient Order of Hibernians convention was occupied In consldcrcrlng the report ot the national di rectory on changes of the constitution. An Intertsllng episode was the presenlatlon to Father Slmhan of n floral harp by the St. Patrick cndcts. One of the big events of the convention was the presentation of the address of Judge Wllherc , national delcgalc , which was read on Tuesday , nnd given to the public yesterday morning. Judge Wllhere's review of the order and Its work was most exhaustive and wns re ceived with marked attention and Interest. After congratulating the delegates upon the large attendance nnd expressing gratifi cation at the growth and prosperity of the order , the national delegate bald : During the Iwo years jusl passed wo have organized Iho province of Quebec , the state of Florida and we hnve now under way the reorganization of the territory of New AIe\- Ice , which , I think , Is completed ere this Thiough one of our brothers who has settled In Hie new territory of Oklahoma I have managed to found the order there. ' A comparison of the reports with those submitted at the Inst convention shown nn Increase In the number of divisions of 1-0 nnd an addition to our strength of 10.C5G members. Five states and teirltorles not re ported. PROORCSS OF THE ORDKR. At the national convention held In St. Paul , .Minn. , In Alay , 1SSG , I had the honor of being elected to the position of national delegate , n position lo which I have since been , at three successive blcnnl.il national conventions , unanimously re-elected. In 18SC our order was suffering most se verely from the rupture of 1884 and dissen sions prevailed In our ranks Ihroiighotit al most all sections of the country. Contiust this with our present happy condition , when practical hnrmony and unity prevails eveiy- whore. At that time our foreign relations with the pireiil organization , the Board of Hrln , severed In 1884 , had not been re-estab lished. The trealy made wilh Iho Bonrd of Krln In Kucopo In 1887 has since * hroughl untold blessings to the brethicn on both sides of the ocean. In 1888 Iho number of states and terri tories organl/ed was thlrly-one. The num ber of divisions In good standing was 103 , and the number of members In the older in America was 43,000. After eight years we now have forty-nine states , tcirUorles and piovlnccs and the District of Columbia or- fganl/ed ; the number of divisions reported Is 1-OG and the reported membership is y,87S : ! , with live states and terrllorles not reported , while Hie aclual membership Is much larger , over 120,000 I am sure , which occurs by reason of the delinquency In falling to report of so many of our onicers , or the failure of others to make proper report of the actual bonu fide membership. To every man who has worked and allied In bringing about this result I return my thanks and extend the hearty Godspeed of the Ancient Order of Hibernians of America. -THE SECEDKRS. So rapid and wonderful has been the growth of our soclcly within the past Jew- years thai but few of our members , as wo are now constituted , know that there oc curred n secession from the order In 1SSI. From the tlmo of Iho organisation of our order in America up to the year 1878 , the headquarters was fixed In Now York City. No person but n resident of New York City nml county could bo elected to any national otllce , nnd each division In Now York City and county was entitled by the law to seats tn national conventions for Its five division officers , the rest of the country being only entitled to seals for slate olllcers and county delegates In national conventions. The change made In 1878 , pulling tlio ordei throughout the country on n fair nnd equita ble footing and eliminating the special - privileges ileges heretofore accorded Now York Clly and counly caused a great disturbance In Dial place , and was , without doubt , the primary causa of the secession which oc curred In 1SSI. The ostensible reason ns- Klgucd wns based on false charges which had been made to Iho Bonrd of Erin by one John Nolan and his fellow conspirators , who charged us with taking Into our ranks ne groes , Chinamen , Orangemen and their sons , etc. , and with losing all our regard and con sideration for our mother country and our brethren In the- old land. Accoullngly on August 12 , 18SI. under pretended authority granted by thn Board of Erin , the conspirators called a bogus national convention which met In New Yolk Clly Nol a man present cave and oxrcpl Iho county delegate of Now York county wan constitutionally entitled to a beat tn u national convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians of this country. These men In defiance of lawful and con stituted authority nnd tn violation of their obligation to the order , contrary and directly igalnst HH constitution and general laws , Bet themselves up as the truu and legal Ancient Order of Illbdrnlans , and subse quently dubbed themselves the Bonrd ot Krln Ancient Order of Hibernians , still claiming to bo the only true order of Hi bernians In America. The secessionists never numbered more than 5 per cent of our strength and their power and Influence was nnd la hugely confined to New York City. Slnco ISSi ) , when I had the honor ot being selected for the olllco of national delegate , It has been a part ot my work to bring these erring and misguided men back to the ( run fold , and I sincerely hope this convention Mill be able to finally scttlo the trouble and adjust whatever differences may exlbt. To the consummation of thai much desired end I would lespoclfully suggest that tills ton- H. votillon pats a resolution first to rescind all former resolutions of expulsion pnx.-ed rgalnql thu leadens of t.'ie secession move ment , and , secondly , to Invite them to re turn and join with us under fair and honor able conditions. This resolution to bo com municated to them by wire to New York , wheio Ihelr convention Is now In tesslon. 1 % vould further beg leave to biiggeU that the negotiations of the details should bo l.i/i with your Incoming national officer * . In whoso wisdom and patriotism wt > will nil have the most abiding faith thnt they will do their duty by the order and on nn honor able basis bring about friendship , unity and true Christian charity to prevail among all liuo Hlhnmlaii ! ) . FOREIGN RELATIONS. Since the adoption of our treaty with the Hoard o ( Ertn In 1SS7 , by which thq principle ot homo rule was mutually rrcognUcd us the underlying basis ot our future relations , no trouble of any moment hns al any time ex isted. Hnrmony , biotherly affection and good will has alwayH prevailed. However , tn considering the question of dealing with thu seccdera in ( hi ) country It Is proper for me to recall to your attention the fact that there nro two bodies In Uurnpo calling thorn- selves thu Board ot < 2rln. Oae of these hendu the merchandise to the src.ulers and the other , which I know to be the only tine and legal Board of Erin , vends to ui our mer chandise or quarterly cor.immilcatlons , The dual bodle In Kuicpo tire the outcome of the esccaslon from the truu erdi'i In this country In ISSI Just as In America a few dlssatlstled member ! ) aoooJed from tl.o Inn tut Hoard of Krln In Europe und formed an ulllaucu with the recalcitrant In tills hurt , ot course to be the right and Uut EWtf , til advices from the old land nxniire me that the rebellion against the true Bonrd nf Krln has lost Its force and strength , and like the rebellion against the true order In this land , Is practically over. OUR RELATIONS WITH THE CHURCH. Our relations with the church continue of the same hnppy character as It was my pleasure to report to you at former con ventions. 11 Is true , however , that In n fnw places our ecclesiastical superiors have withheld that friendship which , an n Cath olic organi/atlon , we have a right to ex pect. Wherever such u feeling exists I would strongly urge our members thai while standing up loynlly for the principles of the order , It Is our duly to refrain from nny speech or act that would Intensify the un- pIcnMinl relations , which only spring from wanl of a clear understanding of the situa tion. Denunciations or fault finding will never lead to this , so that our energies should be nt all times directed to bring about a perfect knowledge of our alms and objects , nnd by our conduct prove thai wo nro worthy of the fullesl conlldenco of the church , nnd nre not only In nccord with Its ministers , but nre enrnestly endeavoring to carry out In our own way Us sacred leach- Ings. Ings.The grenl leaders among the hclrarehy nnd the clergy In this country have given us the warmest and must unequivocal en dorsement , and others , whose views tire less broad or whose knowledge of the situation Is nol so extensive , will In time learn lhal our orgunl/.allon Is not only merllorlous , but Is their most prngre'slve ally In all that goes to advance the 0.111 0 of lellglon and humanity. Wo seek no quarrels with any one , but must and will defend our rights , and cannot permit antagonisms founded on personal prejudices lo mar our wuy. We have outlived- many persecutions and have surmounted many obstacles In the past ; we have fought our way to the front rank of Irish Catholic organizations , and stand to day the most powerful representative so ciety of our race In the world , and are rec- ognl/cd us such by friend and foe. THE HIBERNIAN CHAIR. It Is with mere limn oidiiiury regicl that I am forced to report to this convention that nothing lius been done nnd no money has as yet been rnlsed to endow the "Hi bernian chnlr" in the Cnlhollc univcrslly al Washlnglon , D. C. , as ordcied and di rected by resolution of the last national convcntlcn. Tills condition Is not due , however , to any Indlffeienco or neglect on part of > our olllcers , for God knows I wan meal anxious lo have that noble monument to the honor of the Catholic patriotism and love of Holy .Mother church which Is engrafted so deeply In the Hibernian heart raised and the work finished and done ere this ; but In view of the fact that tens of thousands of our mem bers have been out of employment for months nnd many for more tlinn a year past , on account of Iho business and Industrial de pression In our country , which affected all our people , more or less , no matter what mlghl be their business , occupation or station in life. I could not under the circumstances find It In my conscience to levy additional taxes and Impose additional burdens on a people who have been so severely trl d dur ing the past term. GOOD OF THE ORDER. Under I he subject of suggestions fqr the good of the order the national delegate recommended that the soelellns of the various cities should build and own their own halls , * and train their own speakers for society und public demonstrations. He urged thut steps be taken lo secure Iho piibllcalion of n propelly written history of Hie order , from Its foundation in Ireland to the prjsent lime. He urged the suppoit of the Hiber nian journals. Ho recommended thai tilt- order establish a permanent headquarters and the payment of prop ° r salaries lo the officers who are required to devote their time to the work of the order. I am un doubtedly In favor Of paying secretaries of state , county or division oignnl/ntlons fair nnd reasonable compensation for th Ir work , but I feel It an Imperative and binding duty to cull the attention of the order to ex travagance in salaries , which , uccoidlng to my information , prevails in some places , and which , If not checked In time , will re sult disastrously to the Interest , welfare and future progress of our grand old order , LABOR BUREAUS AND CHARITIES. At the Now Orleans convention I called attention to Hie necessity of maintaining In every city and town a Hibernian labor bureau. The advantages of ths | were set forth nnd nre clenrly uppareijt to every member ot the order , and commend them selves to nil rlght-lhlnklug men. I do not , ot course , mean thai any elaborate establish ments should be maintained , but that a be ginning should be made In an unostentatious way , nnd be grudunlly developed as the necessities of the situation mny 'warrant. I fully believe Hint In our Inrgo communities Ihls would find n scope that mny exceed nil our nntlclpntlons nnd servo to keep before our minds the fact Hint our order Is equnl to every emergency to fulfill Its obligations ot filendshlp nnd support. I mlghl also allude to the demands that will somn day require our earnest considera tion , ot providing for the old and Indigent members of the order. "A Hibernian Home" under the care of some Catholic religious order Is natmally what our thoughts turn to , but U is , a scheme which we may not bo able in our day to accom plish. Wo can , however , make a begin ning by providing tn homes already estab lished , n place where our members may he cared for at our expense. ORGANIZING. There Is no subject which will como before - fore tills assemblage or engage our deepest and most cnrncsl consideration than the necessity ot extending our organlzntlon. It is true that much has been done in this direction , not only during the past two years but since the foundation ot the organization , by the bclf-sucrlllce of the men who were deeply Imbued vvllh the principles of Iho order und whoso work wns the lubor of love. Yearn ago when our organl/atlim maintained with dllficulty a atruggllng existence , bo- foiu ever the beneficial feature was In opera tion , there was little to tempt the selfish and nothing to altracl Hie self-seeker. In IhoMi days the splrll of undying devotion which , uniler the most tr > lng ciicumstances so conspicuously manifests Itself , the heiolc battle which the pioneers of the older were continually forced to wage , cannot but re mind us that much of tlio prosperity we enjoy Is duo rattier to the advance gunrd Iho sklrmlshert ! than to nny particular morlta of our oft-n. Will wo nnl do some thing for those who nr.i to foll.iw us ? With a plontltudo of nil that gues to mnko an organization great nnd prosperous , with a membership recruited from every walk of life , with u treasury overflowing with the results of our economy , euro and generosity , wo should no longer appeal to any few of our brethren to take on their shoulders n burden whichshould bo equally shared by all. all.Lot Lot me. therefore , cntient for this subject your closest attention. Consider the work of otgunlzation pursued by our enemies , nnd let us show them thnt the principles which tench and practice IOVD and toleration tor all mankind will endure for nil time , and thai our grand old order will , us U becomes better known , bo pointed out by all our fellow citizens ns the school In which nil mankind Is made better nnd adds to Iho glory ot our flag nnd our Institutions nnd which makes nil the world belter nnd purer nnd lifts It beyond the degrndlns passions of fraternal strife. OUR miTY TO IRELAND. No convention of our order can separate without placing on record our undying faith In the right ot .Mother Ireland to national self-government , nnd the lovn nnd vencrn- tlou entertained byevery Hibernian In America for the land of his birth or his fathers. At Ihls convention I am sure wo will ntalii renew our pledges of loyalty to the gallant com of Kiln who , In the arena of an alien parllenicnt , are making Hiicli a grand and snbllmo struggle for Irish liberty and for the principles ot Irish im- ttonallty. Let us do more , brethren , Ihan send the clii < rlng mcegago of our pruyura , our sym- pathlou and good wishes across the sea lo our gallant people and their noble leaders who uro btruggllng for Ireland's lights against uueh fearful odd ; let us send practi cal , substantial aid to help our peopln In thUr patriotic and heroic work.

CONCESSIONS ADVANTAGEOUS TO BOTH Atnrtidinriits tn the Tar I IT Kill I'ropnoril by the I'liuiiivu Coin- iiilttrf * Adopteil Cliiindlcr ICnlllca thu Democratic Temper , WASHINGTON' , May 11. The proceedings In the senate upon Scnntor Gnlllnger's amendment to the tnrlff bill providing fern n retalltory clnuso against Canada Indicate thnt Hint question Is liable to receive con siderable nttcntlon before the bill shall be disposed of. Air. Galllnger's speech was brief , but Senators Lodge and Hoar both ex pressed n deslro to discuss It , and the amend ment was withdrawn for the time to enable them to make preparations before presenting their views. U Is understood thnt other pcnntors will also make speeches upon the amendment when It again conies before the sennte. The proposed amendment provides that the tariff act shall only become operntlve so fnr as It concerns Canada upon proclamation by the president of the United States. This proclamation Is to be Issued under condi tions which arc prescribed. When It Is duly certified to the president that the govern ment ot Canada has declared n desire to en ter Into such commercial arrangements with the I'nltoJ States as will result In a material reduction of the duties now existing against the admission Into Canada of the products and manufactures of the United States , he Is required to appoint three commissioners to meet those who may be designated to represent the Canadian government to con sider the most desirable manner In which to accomplish a larger exchange of-the products and manufactures of the two countries. If Tlie result of the deliberation of the joint commission shall be an agreement and a re- poit satis-factory to the secretary of the treasury , by a material reduction of the du ties or by the putting upon the free Hat of the Canadian tariff manufactures and prod ucts of the United States which , in his opinion , will afford an equal advantage to the United States as the operation of this bill will afford to Canada , and the secretary of the treasury shall so report to the presi dent , the president on being notified by the Canadian government that these recom mendations will be presented to the Parlia ment of Canada for enactment shall then Is sue his proclamation making this act opera tive as regards Canada , Immediately upon the enactment Into law by the Canadian Parliament of the recommendations of the joint commission. It Is also made the further duty of the commissioners represent ing this country to ascertain upon what terms entire freedom of commercial Inter course between this country and the Domin ion of Canada can be secured. The pending amendment was that of Mr. Perkins to the amendment of Air. Jones of Arkansas to change the duty on boraclc acid. Air. Jones' amendment Increased the duty from 20 per cent ad valorem to 2 cents per pound. Air. Perkins' amendment was to In crease It to the present rate , 5 cents. CHANDLER RUFFLES THR DEMOCRATIC TEMPER. Air. Chandler of New Hampshire succeeded In his own peculiar way In Irritating the democrats , especially Air. Harris , who at the conclusion of the remarks of the New Hamp shire senator moved with some temper to lay Air. Perkins' amendment on the table. The motion carried by a strictly party vote , 31 to 25. The question then recurred upon Air. Jones' "compromise" amendment to change the duty from 20 per cent to 2 cents per pound. Air. Aldrlch moved to strike out 2 cents and Insert 3 cents. Air. Harris moved to lay the amendment on the table. Carried by a vote of 31 to 24. Air. Hoar offered an amendment to the Jones amendment providing for an ad va lorem duty of 40 per cent on boraclc acid In place of 2 cents per pound. He wanted a record of democratic hcntltnent on the two systems. Air. Harris remarked that ho should have It , and moved to lay the amend ment on the table , which was carried by a practically unanimous vote. Air. Dolph alone voted In the negative. The vote then recurred on the Jones com promise amendment , the republicans voting with the democrats. Air. Mills alone voted against the amendment. The vote on the next amendment , offered by Air. Jones , changing the duty on chromic ncld from 10 per cent ad valorem to I cents per pound ( an Increase of 28 per cent ) , was taken without debate. The republicans again voted with the democrats and It was adopted , & 7 to 2 , Air. Allen and Air. Alllls voting against It. The next amendment was that Increasing the duty on cltilc acid from 20 to 25 per cent ad valorem. Air. Harris moved to lay the amendment on the table. It was carried , 211 to 20 , as was his motion to lay on the table an amendment of Air. Aldrlch to sub stitute 7 cents per pound for the 25 per cent nd valorem duty on citric acid. The amendment Increasing the duty to 25 per cent ad valorem was then adopted. The next amendment , offered by Air. Jones , Increased the duty on tunnic acid or tannin from 35 to 75 cents per pound. The debate on this Item was continued for some time. Just before the senate went Into executive hesslon a truce was arranged by which the democrats agreed not to press the motion to meet ut 10 o'clock , with the understanding the mornln.7 hour should bo limited to one hour and the tariff bill should be taken up each day at noon.

Alarlon C. llutler , president of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial union , made an argument befoio the house committee on.poUofllces today In support of postal telegraphic legislation. The nllUnce favored the postal telegraph scheme- because It would correct an evil of monopoly. Representative Alngulro of Cullfoinui also Hpuku tn continuation of hfs argument on the subject , which ho began Inst week. Ho declared the telegraph business Is a monopoly ely , that an attempt to meet It by prlvata competition would result In no benefit to the pcoplo , coniequcntly the government aught to assume charge of the business. Ho be lieved for $25,000.000 the present Western Union plant could bo duplicated , and the pco plo would not have to pay the Interest on the { 00,000,000 capitalization In Mock , which docs not represent the actual Investment , Replying to questions , ho said ho did not think any one could perform the work of the postal service as cheap as the govern ment , which lead Representative Loud of California to remark ho would bo willing to take a four year contract for the- work at $30,000,000 per year. Sundry dllllcultles thnt would possibly nrlso In the transfer of thc telegraph to the government were sug gested by members f thn committee- , but Air.

The Sanders In- dustrlallst train Btenlcrs arrived here at 1:20 : o'clock this afternoon * as prl < ouers of United States Atarsh.il Neely , having been captured without c > cn a sign of trouble at Scott City yesterday afternoon. The attitude of Governor Lewclllng was soon manifested toward the Commonweaters , He nnd Airs. Dlggs and Secretary of State Osbornc nnd other populist leaders at once held a private conference , and at Its close they Issued n call for a mass meeting to be held on the public square this evening "to discuss the question of the unemployed. " Further than that the governor good-naturedly consented to the request thnt the army be nllowed to camp on the court house grounds while In the city. .Marshal Neely Interfered with that plan for the present by keeping the men locked up In the train. General Sanders says the Mlssoi'rl Pacific , In blocking Its road to prevent the progrcis of his army through Colorado , damngod engines nnd cir. < to the extent of $5,000. In getting around the lenst of these wrecks ho was delayed exactly thirty minutes , another one hour , and the last three hours. Some of his men are old trackmen , and the army was plenti fully provided with tools. In his army are three locomotive engineers , five lire- men , three telegraph operators nnd one civil engineer. The others are laborers , and he claims that all are honest and law abiding. Not a weapon of any kind was found among them by the deputy mar shals. Military discipline has hern ob served since the army started , and It has been kept up since they have become pris oners. Last night thcyt submitted to Sanders' discipline and command In the division of their board , and today they strictly com piled wltlf his orders on the train. Sanders Is an electrician by profession , and is n na tive of Missouri. He Is 29 years old and a natural commander. He Is a man also of some education and good manners , and Is quiet and dignified In his bearing. While his men have been provided for by contribu tions from the public ; Sanders bus paid for his own meals at hotels. He says he and his men are going to Washington because there Is no work for them In the west. He hopes to reach his destination by June 2. Alarshal Neely's prisoners will have a formal hearing on Alonday before United States Commissioner Wuggener. Alarshal Neely has a load on his hands which he Is really anxious to drop , ami nfter the formality of a hearing the "Wealers" will probably be tinned loose for the icople of Topcka to take care of. Sanders and his men ! ook upon their ar- rest as a beneficent nc of Providence to hasten them on their j < juniey to Washing ton. Sunders does not believe they can be punished , and that Is wily1 he counselled his men to fall easy victim * Ho Alarshal Neely last night. Sanders said complacently Just after he and his men arrived In Topeka : "Wo are very much obliged to Uncla Sam for helping us this far oji our journey , pro viding us with comfortable cars and keepIng - Ing us from hunger. " ? A large meeting wasi held nt the court house this cvenlnp , and strong resolutions were adopted demanding 'the icsignntion of United Stntes Commissioner E , A. Wng- gener , as It was bcdldved ho exceeded his aulhoilty In aC9ompanylng the .Missouri Pacific special train. Speeches were made by J. G. Waters.iG. . C.

' . A commlttee conslstlng of the mayor and others , was appointed to call on AlarshnI Neely and demand that the pilsoners be given food or the' city be allowed to pro vide for them. The men themselves have not uttered a word of complaint , and the food that la now being furnished by the marshal Is being distributed through their own commlbsary department.

Last night about COO people assembled about the platform erected at Thirteenth street and Capitol avenue to hear the Com monweal orators talk In favor of n "peti tion In boots. " The enthusiasm of the crowd was somewhat dampened , but whether from lack of sympathy ' or on account of the cool wind no one could say. E. J. Deauo of Des Alolnes , Snn D. Ncd- rey , Editor Tlchendr and General Kelsey were the speakers. General Kelsey said there was n painful lack of desire on the part of the business men of the city to donate shoes , blankets and other necessaries for the army , and declared that he did not care to start until these were supplied. After the announcement of new speakers for tonight the meeting broke up. There seems to betno prospect that the army will leave befbro Sunday at least , Some suggestions have been made about following the example ! of Kelly and floating down the river , but tjio Idea does not seem to take.

LIVERPOOL , Alay 11. The Irish Notional League of Great Britain will hold a con- \entlon here tomorrow. There will be u demonstration of the league on Sunday and a banquet on Alonday. A member of the National league , outlining the gathering , ex plained that the Irish National League of Great Hrltain was similar to the Irish National Federation of America and con- hlsts of "Irish exiles who have played an Important role In Irish politics duilug the past fifteen jears. " Tlio members of the Irish National League of Great Di Haiti , ho said , aie better trained In the Intricacies of Ilngllbh politics , and perhaps more ardently nationalist than the Irishmen at home. By electing the late Charles Stewart Parnell prchldent In 1870 , Instead of the late Air. Isaac futt ) , the members still , ac cording to the same gentleman , gave Air. Parnell the first great advantage of his political career and paved the way tc > the modern Irish policy. When the spill came , the vole against , MK PariiMl did much to break his power , "In conclusion the Asso ciated press Infomant snld that mcmbeia of the Irish National League of Great Hi Haiti now meet at the time of a great crisis and amidst tlo blruggle going on between the Ilealyltes and the majority ot the party. Justin McCarthy , AI. P. , Allchael Dnvltt. John Dillon , and other leaders will attend the convention and endeavor to heal the breach existing between them and the Hcalcyltcs. The result will lime an Im portant effect upon the future Irish policy. It ii expecled that T. P. O'Connor , who has been president of the Irish National league of Great Britain since 1SS2 , hut who latterly has been attached to the Healylto organ , the Irish Catholic , will be re-elected , and thai he policy of Iho majority will be reafllrmcd by an overwhelming majority. Nevertheless there Is much anxiety In re gard to the result. It Is said thai should Iho Hoalyltes gain ground the Influence of theyantl-Healyltes would be scrlotibly shaken. "Tay Pay" O'Connor Is very popular Jn tilts city. Ho has roptesentcd Iho Scot land division In Parliament for ton years as an Irish nationalist , and during that time has been the only nationalist member of the House of Commons titling for any con stituency In Great Britain. His fearless conduct of the London Sun In steadfastly yet Independently supporting the Gladstone and Rosebery governments has given him additional prebtlgc in the ranks of Iho party.

On the vote on the budget In the House of Commons the gov ernment had an easier escape than had been predicted. The motion to reject was nega tived by a vote of 30S to 291.

John Clancy declared the Irish dis tilling Industry had steadily diminished dur ing the past llfly years , owing to the unfair taxation , and the PnrnellltcB would express their opinion thai tills plundering of Ireland ought to cease by voting against the govern ment. Sir William Hnrcourt nnld lhal never be fore had u bill to meet n serious dcflcll In the balance sheet been met by a motion for rejection. Ho was awurn thai the motion was less aimed nt Hie budgel than at the life of the government. The temptation of securing the aid of an Iilsh contingent was too strong to be resisted and the conserva tives had succumbed to It. The government would appeal with confidence to the vet diet of Iho country on the principles of justice nnd equal taxation adjusted to the burden- bearing cnpaclty of the various classes.
