THE GRAND OLD MAN.
GLADSTONE’S DEFEAT IN THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS LAST NIGHT.
Most Exciting Scenes There Since 1832—An Ap
peal to the Country—The Presidential Honey
Moon Over—Trial of the Chicago Anarchists
ar.d Sensational Revelations.
Exciting Scenes in Parliament.
London, June 7,—The house of commons
was crowded to its utmost capacity
at the hour of opening the session.
Gladstone, replying to a question on the
paper, said the government was unable
to promise to incorporate the measures
for home rule, but the government in
England, Wales and Scotland would revise
the Irish home rule bill when it was
brought up during the autumn session in
the event of its passing its second readirtg
now.
The Parnellites are dubious about the
outcome of tonight’s division. They all
declare they would rather be defeated
now than to have Gladstone make any
more concessions. The opposition loudly
cheered John Bright and Lord Hartington
as'they entered and took their
places. The Parnellites are all in good
voice, and they gave Gladstone a most
enthusiastic welcome. Every inch of
space on the main floor, as well as in the
galleries, is occupied.
Later.—The vote on the home rule
bill was 311 for the measure and 341
against it. Gladstone at once moved an
adjournment until Thursday. The motion
was adopted. The cabinet will be
summoned to meet nt noon tomorrow to
decide upon the advisability of consulting
the queen as to the dissolution of
parliament.
London, June 8.—The scene in the
house of commons last night are never
to be forgotton. The house was crowded
froom floor to ceiling; the peers’ gallery
was filled to overflowing; in serried
ranks, as spectators, stood many foreign
embassadors; the strangers’ galleries
were full to suffocation.
Gladstone rose to speak at 11:30 p. m.,
and was received with loud and long
continued cheering. Sir Wm. Harcourt
and Mosely were on his right; Childers
and Muldela on his left; Lord Hartingington
and SirCharles Dilke immediately
behind. Chamberlain occupied a corner
scat on the second bench below the gang
way closely behind .Caine. Sir Michael
HicksBeach looked confident;
Lord Randolph Churchill nervously
twirled his moustache ; Parnell
sat between Sexton and Thomas
O’Connor, and Dillon, Healy and O’Brien
were near by. Gladstone spoke with
great energy; his thrusts at Chamberlain
were keenly relished, and excited roars of
laughter.”Chamberlain sat with his head
on his left arm, not moving a muscle.
Gladstone finished at 1:07 a. m., having
spoken one hour and fortyfive miuutes.
The speaker forthwith put the question
and a tremendous shout arose when he
asked those in favor to say “aye,” and an
equally loud cry when he asked for the
“Nays.” The speaker instructed the
“ayes” to go to the right and the “nays”
to the left. Morley and Majoribanks
were appointed tellers for the “ayes;”
Brand and Craine for the “nays.” The
members filed out rapidly, but at 1:15
they returned to their seats and the space
below became crowded. Room was
made for Gladstone. The Irish members
cheered that premier and howled at
Chamberlain. The latter paid no attention
to the derisive yells. When Brand
announced the result, the pentup excitement
culminated in loud, long and triumphant
cheers. The conservative rank
and file shouted themselves hearse;
Chamberlain and Cain sat immovable ;
the ministers appeared resigned; the
Parnelites waited patiently for the conservatives
to exhaust their strength, and
then en masse, at a signal, they sat up a
louder shout. A voice cried: “Three
cheers for the grand old man!”
and the house seemed to rise at the call;
liberals and Parnellites vied with each
other in applauding the premier. The
galleries seemed to join in doing him
honor, and the house seemed to be
charged with electricity. A voice cried,
“three groans for Chamberlain!” and a
few responded.
Gladstone, in a voice scarcely shaken
with emotion, moved adjournment for a
few seconds. A scene was threntend
Thomas Power JO’Connor and Healy
rising excitedly and addressing the house,
The speaker refused to allow them to interferewith
the usual course. The mem
bers began to leave amid discord and
cries against dissenting liberals. It was
a historical scene, the greatest since the
passage of the reform act of 1832. Many
members conversed in the lobby for an
hour after adjournment.
The largeness of the majority surprised
the liberal whigs. A large crowd
gathered outside the parliament buildj
ing to hear the announcement of the resuit,
which was received with cheers and
groans. Gladstone went to his room
where he remained some time, then accompanied
by Mrs. Gladstone, he left the
house and entered an open carriage. The
mob waited until the carriage passed out
of the yard and greeted its occnpants
with cheers and some hooting. The carriage
was driven rapidly, the mob following,
groaning and cheering. When it
entered Downing street, the mob gave
three cheers for Gladstone and three for
the unity of the empire.
Gladstone himself will go to Scotland
to confer with the queen, when the cabinet
has agreed upon the dissolution of
parliament.
The majority against the bill surprised
even the unionists. Several members,
supposed to favor the bill, went into the
opposition lobby. The crowd outside attempted
to mob Lord Hartington when
he emerged from the house after the
division. It is supposed that Sir Wilfred
Blunt was the intermediary between Parnell
and the tories during the last election,
and that he undoubtedly did lead
the Parnellites to believe that the conservatives
should introduce a homerule
bill. Lord Randolph Churchill is generally
believed to be the member of the
conservative party who made the promise
for his party. Eightyfive Parnellites
voted with the government. The eightysixth,
Capt. O’Shea, whom Mr. Parnell
insisted on having as a league
elector to represent one division of
Galway, walked out of the house
and abstained from voting. About
twelve liberals refused to vote on division.
The liberals who voted against
the government are said to be almost
identical with those whose names were
on the list prepared before the recent
liberal meeting of the foreign office. The
only members who were absent were
Hon. Charles Pelham Villers, liberal
member for South Wolverhampton, Sir
Frederick Milbank, liberal member for
Richmond, Yorkshire, Fred W. Grafto,
liberal member for Northeast Lancashire,
and William Grey Ellison Macarthey,
conservative member for South
Antrim.
British Press Comments on the Defeat.
London, June 8.—The Times says,
“The vote will encourage the loyalists of
Ireland to hope that their kinsmen here
will never abandon them to the uncovenanted
mercies of the Irish national
league and its paymasters in America.
Mr. Gladstone exerted all his marvelous
powers of intimidation, mystification and
persuasion in favor of his bill, but we rejoice
that the majority against it was decisive
and crushing. It is a strong testimony
in favor of the encouraging belief
that Englishmen and Scotchmen are not
ready to submit, as yet, themselves to the
leveling influence of the machine politics
of America.”
The News, (ministerial) says : “. The
dissolution has been rendered inevitable
by last night’s vote. Mr. Parnell’s emphatic
declaration that Ireland would accept
Mr. Gladstone’s bill as a final settlement,
will have a wider influence with the
nation today than all the astute and
minute criticism of Mr. Gosclien. The
whole case is now before country for decision.”
The Telegraph (conservative) says:
“We are persuaded that the voice of the
house of commons faithfully reflects the
voice of the country. The unity has
been preserved by the first great declaration
of British democracy come to
power.”
The Standard says: “The house of
commons, by defending the home rule
bill, has. saved itself from degredation
and the empire from disruption. We are
left with a clear issue. This must be
taken between the policy of Lord Hartington
and the policy of Mr. Gladstone.
The country must now decide the question.
The Post (conservative) says: The resuit
remained doubtful to the last moment.
It was feared Mr. Gladstone’s eloquent
appeal was not cause enough to
save the bill.”
The President and Bride Return to Washington.
Deer Park, June 8.—Early this morning
John Davis, who has had charge of
the presidential party, was notified that
the president desired to make the trip to
Washington and he would like to have
his special follow closely after the midday
trrin. An engine was at once
brought from Grafton and the palace
cars “Baltimore” and“MaryIand” was put
in readtness for the reception of the
party. What caused such a sudden
alteration is not known, as it
was thought last night that
bride and groom would remain in the
mountain a day or two longer. At half
past ten this morning a carriage was
brought to the cottage jnd President and
Mrs. Cleveland and Secretary and Mrs.
Lament started out for a drive. They
went to what is known as “observatory
hill,” about two miles from the executive
cottage, where a magnificent view of the
surrounding eountry is obtained. At 1
p. m., they will leave for Washington.
Sensational Developments in Chicago.
Chicago, June 8.—It is understood
that counsel for defense in the anarchists’
case will be ready to proceed with the
trials on Monday, June 21st. The state
attorney, it is thought, will not enter any
objection against the case being taken
up on this date. The grand jury, it is
thought, will resume investigation into
the anarchist conspiracy and Captain
Shaack will introduce a number of witnesses
who have already made partial
coufessions to him. When all the evidence
is in it is believed that the showing
will be such as to startle those who
have belittled the influence and numerical
strength of tire anarchists. The
grand jury adjourned last Saturday and
was astounded by the evidence which
was laid before it and its report, as presented,
it is claimed, was shorn of many
sensational features. A morning paper
says it is known that two reports were
drawn up, one of these was of similar import
to that of the Seattle, Washington
Territory, federal grand jury, and the
other was that which was transmitted in
these dispatches Saturday. For some
reason the jury' decided to present those
which were the shorter and least sensational
of the two reports.
Much Ado About Nothing:
.Chicago, June 8.—Collector Seeberger’s
investigation of the alleged perils
of the Canadian steam barge “Nipizon,”
which prevented the master of the vessel
from entering the port of Cheboygan to
obtain from the customs officials there a
permit to enter Lake Michigan, lias
brought out a statement contrary to that
filed by Captain Conlan. This statement
shows Captain Roberts of the Canadian
schooner “Jessie Scarth,” says he saw the
“Nipizon” near Cheboygan. His vessel
was abreast of her and there was nothing
to prevent her from complying with the
law.
Indignant Knights of Labor.
New York, June 8.—Andrew D.
Best, secretary of the executive board of
the knights of labor, visited local assembly
No 4,003 last night and explained
the motive in ordering off the “tieup”
of Saturday. His remarks caused a
lively discussion. The men were indignant
and the meeting broke up in a row.
A crowd of strikers collected and indulged
in warm talk. One of them said
“we will apply for work tomorrow and
pledge ourselves to have nothing more
to do with the knights of labor.”
Prohibitionists Sweep North Carolina.

A LIVELY MEETING.
Mayor Sturgis and the People of Waco Charged
With Mob Violence.
Some days ago the simple announcement
appeared in the columns of The
Day that a meeting ot the stockholders
of the Waco Bridge company would be
held on June 7. The stockholders met
yesterday and one of the liveliest sessions
which has ever marked the existcncc
of the corporation named, ensued.
Mr. B. A. Shepherd, of Houston, who
owns some $5,000 to $10,000 of stock was
in attendance. The meeting was far
from harmonious, and the courteous (?)
gentleman from Houston charged that
the city government of Waco, headed by
our honorable mayor, E. A. Sturgis, was
disposed to indulge in mob violence to
deprive the stockholders of the bridge
company of the profit of their investment
by ordering the opening up of the
streets leading to the Brazos river. He
was joined by several Waco stockholders
and in face of such an onslaught Mr.
Sturgis, who for upwards of eight years
has’held the position of president of the
company, made a reply which was charactcristic,
spirited and manly and fully
evinced that, in a conflict between the interests
of the city and the individual, he,
as mayor, stood squarely by the city. He
resented the insinuation that there was a
disposition to exercise mob violence upon
the part of the city of Waco, whose head
he had the honor of being, and in terms
which expressed the depth of his feeling
he asked to be retired from the presidency
and the directory as well. Dr. J.
Tl. Sears also retired from the directory
and the personnel cf the new directory
is as follows: Tom P. Abeel, W. L.
Prather, B. A. Shepherd, W. R. Kellum
and C. M. Seley. From this directory a
president is to be chosen to succeed
Mayor Sturgis. It is needless to call attention
to the fact that the above report
furnishes food for considerable reflection
and there is a manifest curiosity to know
why Mr. Shepherd, of the city of broken
savings banks, should charge the city
government of Waco with mob violence
because it has seen fit to order the opening
of its streets to the Brazos river.
Mayor Sturgis owns nearly $3,000 of the
bridge company’s stock, and during his
administration as president he has been
a faithful, judicious and efficient officer,
but he is an advocate of a free bridge
over the Brazos, as he stated during the
recent campaign, and he has no hesitation
in expressing his sentiments. For
this reason, as much as any other, lie
says he met with opposition in the directory
and found occasion to express
his sentiments.—Later. The election of
officers this afternoon resulted in the
choice of W. L. Prather, Esqr., as president,
and R. T. Monroe secretary.
Next Best Thing to the Rain.
This morning^Young & Baker received the
handsomest line of men’s low cut shoes ever
seen in Waco^ and have marked them down
to rock bottom prices. It should also be remembered
that Young & Baker give ten per
cent, off on spot cash purchases on all their
goods. This is a straight offer and they
mean and will do what they say. A word to
the wise is (or ought to be) sufficient and we
know there are some wise people in Waco.
