LONDON , June 19 ( New Yotk World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Though some
of the Irish members may look at the pro
cession as sightseers from some points , and
may also bo present In obscure corners for
professional reasons , the Irish party will : iot
be repu-ae-nted In the stands at the House
of Commons , nor in any other Dart where
their presence might bo interpreted as
charing in the general rejoicing over the"
reign.
The Irish position is that the very reasons
. which cause Englishmen to n-Jolce are those
which compel Irishmen to mourn over this
reign Wealth , prosperily , comfort , liberty ,
spread of empire all thebe blessings which
havefio consplcaously marked Ibis reign for
the Englishmen , bring into grcjtcr , sadder
relief the contrast In the effects of tnat same
period uron the destinies of Ireland. The
most vivid Idea of what an unexu.nnled
period of material decadence anl tribulation
this record-reign has been to Ireland Is
gained b ) comparing her condition with that
of England. These sixty years have teen a
etup'nduous advance In every elemenl of na
tional prosperity ; In Ireland tlu- decline in
the same period has been appalling When
Engllfhmen , even friendly Englishmen de
voted lo home rule , ask me why I refuse lo
rejoice over the jubilee , I retort "Are we
to rejoice because Ireland's population has
decreased per cent , while England s has
increased 70 p r cent' Is It because Ireland ,
with her diminished population. Is so pau
perized that two-thirds of her people are de
pendent on the potato crop , the ( allure of
which Immediately produces famine , while
the- standard of general comfort In England
is higher than In any other country' "
FIGURES ON THE DECAY.
Ireland Is the fourth meat producer In the
world , but her poverty makes her the six
teenth meat-consuming country. Fifty > ears
ago there were only fifty-two paupers per
thousand In Ireland and forty-nine per thou
sand In England ; today the. rate has risen
In Ireland to ninety-five , while It has fallen
In England to twenlj-sii Take manufac
tures Between 1S41 and 1S91 the whole Irish
populalion had decreased per cent , but h r
manufacturing population had decreased 61
per cent , while In the same period England's
manufacturing population increased almost
Immeasurably. Ireland during this record-
reign has been steadily gravitating toward
total dependence on agriculture , the most
insecure support for a people , and one thai
has suffered most acutely from depression ,
. while England has been growing more and
more Independent ot agriculture.
The isaine dismal , heartrending tale of ma-
terlal decay meets you on every eide In Ire
land The Incomes of the wage-earning
classfs are man for man , barely half those
In Great Britain. England's rule has ad
vanced Enrland , but It has driven Irtland
back to a condition today to which no civil
ized country has oeen reduced In modern
times , except by a devaslating war. Worst
ot all while Ireland has had her life blood
eleadlly dralred out of her by English rule ,
at the same time the taxation per bead of
Irishmen Is double what it was fifty years
go , while ot Englishmen la actually half of
. what it vvas then

LONDON June 19 ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The Irish
nationalist members of Parliament will not
only abstain from all participation In th
jubilee celebrations , but In all probability
will divide against the address of congratu-
latlon which Ihe government will propose
to the queen in the Commons on Monday
The Parnellltes Intend to propose tbe fol
lowing amendment
And we further repre fnt lo jour rnajo'tv
that this House deemIt Its duty to place
the fact upon record , while the sixty jears of
> our majestj's reign has witnessed the ex-
lent'on of representative Kovernment to all
the greit colonies and the growing prosperity
and contentment of the subject * of the tm-
plru generally , Ireland has suffered during
that period from famine , depopu.ation and
joverty , and today the constitutional liber
ties of her ptople areU" = i > ended and vested
abso'utely In the vicerov , and amnesty has
been denied to Irl h lolltlcal prisoners with
tr-e result thit the Irisa people are dlf-on-
tented and dissatisfied , and this House as
sures jour rnaje ty that In Its opinion th <
on'y melhod of relieving the poverty and
disaffection In Ireland is to concede the de
mands of the Irish people for the recogni
tion of their right to national &elf-sovern-
me-nl.
The wording of this amendment briefl )
summarizes why the vast majority of Irish-
mtn cannot In nnv way participate In the
Jubilee of Queen Victoria's reign. The ac
tion of the Parnellites Is but a continuation
of the eternal protest which Ireland ever
will. In spite of all discouragement , make
against the attempt of England to rule her
against her will. Ever since the union was
carried by fraud and bribery England has
ruled Ireland by shc-er force , and it Is quite
true that but for the presence ot an over
whelming British force the Irish would be
in ofien revolt.
IN ONE MAN'S HANDS.
It should be borne In mind that tbe rights
of free speech , public meeting and the free
dom of the press are absolutely In the hands
of the English lord lieutenant , who , by writ
ing a single line , could suspend every ves
tige of the constitution of Ireland. From
the lord lieutenant down , every official In
Ireland is nominated by the English gov
ernment , consequently the utmost discon
tent exists among the masses of the Irish
who invariably elect a great majority over
eighty out of a hundred of their members
to demand the revocation of their Parlia
ment , which alone -will ever satisfy Irish
sentiment.
During the queen's rtign one-half of the
population has disappeared from Ireland by
famine , eviction , fever and forced emigra
tion ; there" have been two rebellions in th'e
last sixty jears and every one of the rixtj
years ha- been signalized by a coercion act.
At the present time a number of Irishmen
convicted of treason-felony are djlng in
prls'n , and even the great jubilee has
brought no amnest } to Ihem
In view of ihese conaiderallons It Is only
natural that the Irish should stand aloof
from the celebrations , that all tbe civilized
world should see that the present / = > stem of
Irish government is a disastrous failure
The discontent of the Irish la intensified
by seeing representatives of all the self-
governed brltish colonists at present In
England. The presence of colonial premiers
reminds us that every single part-of the em
pire even AVest Austria , with 1CO.OOO people ,
enjojs bom * rule. Ireland alone Is governed
b > Bi1lUh-made laws and British ministers
The absence of upward of eighly Irish mem
bers from the greal BritUb carnival will
prove conclusively that In spite of Internal j
differences the great eentlment of the Irish
nation In favor of national self-government
Is aa slrong as ever.

remains In oface for a while longer , or at

It is an open secret that he has lost the

SPECULATORS DISSATISFIED.
The forcible diss-lutlon of the temporary
Produce exchanges of Berlin , Stetlin , Halle
and olher Prussian cities bj the police under
the pretext of their beliig contrary to the
bourse law has caused much dirsatiofactlcn
among the speculators and has also created
a curious t'.tuatlon. No produce quolitlon.3
are now published and no market prices of
cereals ate given out anwhere. The Ber
lin Produce exchange has appealed to the
higher court and until * definite decision
is rendered thlnr,3 will conlinuc aa at pres
ent. The farmers are much excited , ss
harvesting will soon commence and they are
perfectly in the dark as to the pnics to

been taken.

now wholly given over to jubilee prepara
tions The otrects on the procession's route
are imparsAble with thrones of sight-seers
and a continuous stream of vehicles of all
kinds loaded with pecple pajing five and
six times the ordinary fare ? to Inspect the
decorations The regular "busses" charge
sixpence Inttead of a penny ; cabs
about nine or ten fares. It takes
two hours to cover the distance which un
der ordinary circumstances would be tra
versed In fifteen minute : What next Tues
day will be only Omniscience knows. Noth
ing approaching the crowd and excitement
over has been known in London. The com
motion over the 1SS7 Jubilee was tame in
comparison. The Immensity of the crovd
todaj has frighlened many. It is expor-ed
thai Ihe timid and middle-aged v\ill keep

All ordinary business Is at a standstill
All kinds of artisans have temporarily be
come carpenters. Ihe only trade now In de
mand. But. despite tens of thousands of men
already engaged In compleling Ihe stands
and fixing up Ihe decorations , they must
affront Sabbatarians by working Sunday to
get the contracts completed. A severe north

insccureljfixed draperies and festoons of

principal thoroughfares on the route.

pale green cretonne , with apertures for
windows tet around with fringes of crimson

The balconies are draped In mauve velvet ,
with heavy fringe and Immense gilt spiral
pillars have been erected on the front of
the house. The effect Is "more bizarre than
artistic.
The whole face of Piccadilly and St. James
street has been transformed There is not a
house on that section of the route which has
not been decorated profusely. Mr Wernher ,
partner of Belt , the South African million
aire , has arranged a gigantic landing space
In front of Bath House , Piccadilly , which
he now owns , while the three Rothschilds
houses , clcse to Hyde Park corner , and Aps-

The introduction of evMencc in the case
of Joseph S.'Bartlej , Ihe e\-tale treasurer
charged ! with the cmbezzlem nt of $101SSI 05 ,
was closed last "veiling with the possible
Ve
exception of a small amount of testimony
which may be Introduced In surrebuttal by
the defense tomorrow morning.
The arguments will be commenced tomor
row morning and it is anticipated that the
case will be submitted to the jury tomorrow
evening.
The case has occupied eleven dajs of ac
tual trial , besides several days occupied la
preliminary eklrrnlshlng on the part of the
defense. The trial has been clo cly con
tested , every point in the evidence being
closely watched by both sides and the argu
ments over the law points Involved In the
admission of certain testimony have called
forth brilliant scintillations of legal learn
ing from both sides of the table.
The Introduction of txpert testimony on the
part of the state occupied ncarlj all of the
morning tesolon of the eleventh day of the
Bartley trial. Expert Helblg of Chicago ,
who has been In the employ of the legislative
Invcetigallng committee In checking up thn
books of delinquent officials , was on the stand
the greater part of the morning tesslon , and
his crces-cxainlnatlon at the hands of At
torney Whedon was In progress at the hour
of the noon recese. The admission of Hel-
big's tcslimony was hotly contested by the
defense , the claim being made that the testi
mony was based entirely on the records of
the office , ass , tuerefore , these records were
the beet evidence , and should bo placed be
fore the jury that the members might ex
amine tae bocks for themselves and draw
their own coscluslons as to what tliey might
show. This method of reasoning was over
ruled by the court , however , and the expert
was allowed to tell the jury the result of his
mve..igation df the book * ai U ot-er records
of the treasurer's office.
This evidence was the most damaging of
any that has yet been introduced by the
state , the witness being allowed to state the
conclusions he had reached after a full
examination of the records. He staled lhat
there was no record in the treasurer's office
showing that the state ever received credit
for the SGO.OOO which the defense sayi
Bartley transferred from his personal
account in the Omaha National bank , June
4 , 1&9S , to the credit of the state general
fund. Al o. that there was no record any
where In the treasurer's office showing that
the btate was ever credited with the ? 1SO-
101 "i realized from the sale of the warrant
In the case. Also , that the permanent school
fund had no : been credited with the $55,000
which Bartley maintains be paid out of his
personal funds for the Otoe- county bonds , the
evidence heretofore Introduced showing that
the permanent school fund was reduced by
this amount at the time the bonds were
purchased.
There are other experts to be examined
on behalf of the state and it U anticipated
that the state will rest its case some time
Monday. Whether the defense will
Introduce any evidence In surrebuttal bzx
not been indicated.
FROM BARTLEY'S REPORT.
At the opening of vesterday's session
the ftate offered in evidence that portion
of ! Hartley's last biennial report , including
the summary of the statement of funds , the
prosecution elating thai this was introduced
for I the purpose of showing that the
J23G,3C1.S3 ' of the sinking fund which vros
tied ' up in the Capital National bank wi
deducted from the balance of the sinking
fund I , thereby showing that this money was
not ' carried in the balance , as claimed by the
defense. The offer was admilted In evidence
and read tu the jury , the report stating thai
the amount "tied up In defunct bankn" bat ]
been deducted in making the balances , and
then followed the items of tbeie deduction ! ,
including this Item "In the Capital Na
tional i bank , t23GS81 & 3. "
Bookkeeper Adalr of the Omaha National
was called by the ( tale and questioned re
garding Hartley's personal account In that
bank. He Identified the continuation df
this account and the 'ate offered In ev
idence the credit elde of the account far the
purpose of showing that in addition to the
J1S0.101 75 realized from tlie warrant , Bart
ley also deposited other Urge sums of money
to bis personal account In the Omaha Na
tional , rebutting , as the county attorney
claimed , the presumption that the J1SO,1015
had iK-vn all transferred to other banks and
thence , back to the state.
The defense conteited the admission of thto
evidence , but tbt- court ruled that It was
admissible , and It was read to the jury ,
showing the following Items under the year
