It Is Only a Question of Time Untilthe Lords Will Be No

More.

Loxnox, March 1.-Gladstone wasloudly oheered this afternoon as he en-

tered the house of commons. The

speaker put the question that the house

of lords amendment to the local govern-ment bill be cosidered. Gladstone rose

and addressed the house in a full, resoeant voice, with marveldus energy. He

said:"The government has felt the oper

ation of sending and resending a bill

from one house to the other, and it has

continued long enough. [Loud cheer

Ing.] To continue the process would be

the loss of dignity to both houses, and

the government has decided to stop theoperation and take a decided course.The government had the choice of re-

jecting the house of lords amendmentsand abandoning all hope of passing thebill or to accept them under protest withthe hope of soon reversing them. Thegovernment behas adopted the lattercourse." [hsers.] Gladstonecontinued:

"We have now reached the acute age.It appears that the lords desire to anni-hilate the whole work of the house ofcommons. In regard to the present billthe government desires to save some-thing from the wreck; therefore it hasaccepted the amendment, but with a de-claration of differences between thehouses that is not temporary or casual.This state of things, I am compelled tosay, cannot continue. [Prolonged cheers.]The issues raised between the assemblyelected by the people, and the assemblyoccupied by named men of virtue andtalents are of considerable variety, onceraised they must go to issue. [Cheers.]No doubt there is higher authority thanthe house of commons, namely the au-thority of the nation, icheers] whichmust in the last resort decide. [Ronewedcheers and opposition cheers at once.]When that judgment is to be invited isa question which toe government alonecan decide." Gladstone closed by ask-ing the house to accept the lords amend-ments.

Hon A. J. Balfour, conservative lead.er, rose amid cheers to reply. He saidGladstone's speech was a declarationagainst the ancient constitution of therealm and asked why the governmentdid not start an agitation against thehouse of lords when the latter rejectedthe home rule bill. That bill had con-vinced the country that legislation mustbe controlled by a chamber which wouldnot betray them. At the conclusion ofBalfour's speech the amendment were

reed to, 274 to 37, and the house thendjourned.There was a state of feverish excite-

ment throughout the debate ano thestrain was apparent in the faces ofGladstone and other members of theministery. While Gladstone was talkingit was whispered on all sides that thegreat liberal leader was making his lastspeech to the commons. itse delayedattack on the lords delighted the radicalsand the Irish.

The Court and the lawyers AreHaving a Red-Hot Dis-

eauseslon.

MILWAUKEa. March 2.-Judge Jen-luns is listening to arguments on the ap-

plieation of Chief Arthur, Chief Sargeantand the chiefs of other railway men'sunions for a modification of Jenkins'order forbidding Northern Pacific emI ployee from striking. The court roomwas crowded with labor people and theirfriends. During the argument Attorney

Harper, for the men, had a hot set-tot with t, e court. Judge Jenkins broke inI on him at one time and asked what hei meant by the term "striking" Harper

replied: "It's simply quitting work.""No, sir," said the judge. "Then whatis a strike?" retorted Harper. "It'squitting for the purpose of enforcing

a certain conditions," replied the judge.

Harper could not agree with the judgeand did not seem to be very much awedby the dignity of a court which usuallyakeeps even the greatest attorney, very

I careful and courteous. "But I am not

done with you," shouted Harper, shakinghis fiatat the judge. '"I will show youa special act of congress which gives1 men the very rights which you have en-

a joined them from exercising." Harper[ then resumed his argument. Attorney

a Quarles followed in an argument onSthe application of the federal law to the

Spoint at imu. Under the natural con-structions of the language of the orderthe restrictions are very broad. It re-strains the mon from striking from anyand all causes present and future, andwould not even let the chiefs of railwayorders confer with the men. "Will youplease point out a clause which preventsthem from so conferring with the men;"asked Judge Jenkins, who exhibited anunusal amount of feeling throughout theargument and was frequently vehementSin his remarks. Quarles then gave hisdefinition of a strike and gave severalreferences to sustain his definition. Thejudge said, "there never was any in-I tention to prevent the men from quit.s ting. That was their legal right and it

1, they wanted to, they could stop worksingly or in a body and go to Texas, itthey wished." "Thats all we want,"shouted a man from the rear of thecourtroom. The court soon afterwardstook a recess.

Thel Matter of Revenue for the Next Yeara Serious Problem.

Butte Inter Mountain: GovernorRickards says that a rather serious prob-lem which confronts the state govern-ment is the matter of revenue for thenext year. He says there has been aheavy shrinkage of values throughoutthe state, and the boards of appraisersare mercilessly slashing lastyear's values.The limit of the state tax levy is 21ymills for state purposes. The governorthought the state board of equalizationwould have to order an increase in val-ues. as far as the state is concerned, itsufficient revenue to meet current ex-penses is to be raised. The levy fixed bythe appraisers could remain for countypurposes, but it is evident from thewholesale reduction in the tax rolls thatthe state will be the principal sufferer.

It is just learned that thet wires etween here and Powellton havebeen cut and a crisis is feared. A mee.senger has been sent to the scene to ae-certain the situation.

Railroad officials are co-operating with the governor, carryingmessengers by rail as far as Cabin Creek,whence they go horseback, and will re-port to the governor as soon as possible.

WAosINOTOx, March &3-The deme-antic majority of the seate comlmtteeon Aince resumed its Bitting this mora-ing with the intention of cunti.uing theday's sesmion until the bill is perfectedas far as the committee can perfect it.Members of the committee say they haveagreed upon some schedules but declineto give out the figures as any concluaionsreached may be subsequently chargedon account of the bearing rates in oneschedule may have upon another. Theystill have in mind the idea of formulat-ing what in most respects is a revenuebill. Some senators who have been be-fore the committee express the beliefthat their requests for higher rates ofduties will be granted. Advocatesof theduty on lead ore have been as-sured by members of the committeethat a duty of one-fourth of a cent perpound will be fixed on that article. Thisis just half of the rate of the McKinleytariff. The Wilson bill makes it practi-cally tree. It is stated upon the sameauthority that the provisions in the Wil-son bill objectionable to lead ore men,which let in Mexican lead ore free, whenmixed with silver and ore more valuablefor silver than lead, will be stricken out.It is learned from the same source thatlead products will remain as fixed by thehouse bill. Unless the committee shouldchange its decision coal and iron ore willbe given a duty of forty cents per ton.
