Transmitted by Wire to "The Day'* Up to 3:30 ru s 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. Raleigh, N. C., June 8.—Local option elections were held yesterday at many points in this state. The prohibitionists carried the day at Raleigh by sixty majority, and also at the following places : Concord, Oxford, Kingston, Henderson, Warrenton, Lewisburg, Winston, Salem, Beaufort and the seaboard. The election was upon the question of license or no license for the sale of spirituous liquors. Sympathy from Canada " London, June 8.—The secretary of the British home rule association has received a letter accompanied by a donation from Mr. Blake, leader of the opposition in the Canadian parliament. Mr. Blake promises further pecuniary aid in aid of the objects of the association. Orangemen Remanded Belfast, June 8—Phillip Rice, Alexander Stewart and John Beattie, the three Orangemen who are under arrest for murdering James Cnrran during the religious riot at the Queenland ship yards, Friday last, have been remanded for one week. Stewart was permitted to give bail. Another Prohibition Box Heard From. A New Hampshire man kept his whisky bottle at the bottom of the well, and when his wife found the string and pulled it up he tried to make her believe it belonged to a Chinaman who had bored through from the other side of the earth. A Call of Michael Davitt London, June 8.—The nationalists of Leeds are sounding the liberals of the ,city on the project of issuing a joint invitation to Michael Davitt to contest the constituency of East Leeds in the coming election. German Soldiers on Wheels. BERLIN, June 8.—Infantry regiments at FrankfortontheMain are being drilled to the use of bicycles and tricycles for military purposes.

Murder iji County Kerry Dublin, June 8.—The murder of a policeman in the county Kerry is reported. 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. —68. Stanard’s Royal Patent Is the best flour made. Marshall & Heard. Sole agents, Waco.

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.

When Brand announced the result, the pentup excitement culminated in loud, long and triumphant cheers.

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.

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.
