London, Feb. 13. This morning the
scene around the palace yard at West
minster was most animated, crowds as
sembling to witness the arrival of the
members. Gladstone entered tho' house
at half-ppast three, and was greeted by
prolonged enthusiasm by the liberal and
Irish members. A quarter of an hour
later when he arose to Introduce the
home rule bill, there was another demon
stration lasting- several minutes. It was
six o'clock when Gladstone concluded his
speech, having" spoken over two hours.
In the first place, said Gladstone, we
made It with the desire to get what we
thought was not unreasonable to demand.
For express mention of the supremacy
of the Imperial parliament, we have cho

ter method, for If done by clause It would
be too much of the character of an en
actment. WK. jref enotaUi -charges
that we are destroying the act of union,
wish to challenge inquiry upon, this
fundamental point.. This bill reBpects and
maintains the rights of sovereignty equal
ly throughout the entire range of the
three kingdoms. Then the bill constitutes
the Irish legislature.. The power granted
the legislature, which consists first If a
legislative council, and secondly of a
legislative assembly, empowered to make
laws for peace, order and good govern
ment for Ireland, and In respect to mat
ters exclusively relating to Ireland, that
power subject first of all to necessary and
obvious limitations imposing certain In
capacities en the Irish parliament, in
eluding all that relates to the crown, re
gency, ana vice-royalty . subjects, peace,
war, and public defense, treaties, and
foreign relations, dignities, titles, law and
treason do not belong to the Irish legis
lature. The law of alienage does not be
long to it, nor everything that belongs to
external trades, coinage and other sub
sidiary subjects. Other Incapacities are
Imposed similar to those contained in
the bill of 1896. These provide for the se
curity of religious freedom, a safeguard
of education! and the security of personal
freedom. Then we retain the vice-royalty
of Ireland, but divest It of a party char
acter It has heretofore borne, by making
appointments to run for six years sub
ject to the revoking power of the crown.
the post freed from all religious disabil
ity. Then comes the clause providing for
full revolution of the executive power
the sovereign upon the viceroy. Then
comes an important provision for an ap
propriation for an executive committee
of the privy council of Ireland. We pro
pose to' make this executive council for
the ordinary affairs of the cabinet of the
viceroy. It happened to be to us highly
inconvenient to alter the numbers of the
legislative assembly, we therefore have
set the number at 103 and have fixed the
term at five years.
Nest, as to the legislative council. Glad
stone said this conclusion was arrived
at, that a nominated council would be a
weak council, and therefore they pro
posed an elective council. He said, "We
propose to fix the number at forty-eight,
with an eight-years' term of office. The
term of the popular assembly could be
lesser. The bill must Include a provision
for meeting the emergency of a dead
lock. In a case where a bill Is adopted
more than Once by the assembly and
where there Is an Interval of two years
intervening between, the two adoptions,
or dissolution of parliament, then upon
Its second adoption, the tw oassemblles
may be required to meet and the fate of
the bill Is to decided In Joint assembly.
(Cheers.)
Next, all appeals shall lie to' the privy
council alone, not to the council and
lords. The privy council may try a ques
tion of the validity of any Irish act.
The British budgets will more or less
influence Irish pecuniary balunces, it is
therefore desirable for the purpose of
mitigating any inconveniences whlcsj
might thence arise, that Ireland should
have something to say about British
torvene In questions purely and abso
lutely British, thus making the whole
subject full of thorns and brambles. But
our subjoct Is the autonomy and self
government of Ireland in all matters
properly Irluh. It Is In the face of a foci
lng of uncertainty over questions of the
retention of Irish members, that wo have
suffered to appear a paragraph concern
tng those questions containing the words
"excepting and until parliament shall
have determined coming financial legis
lation. '
"I wish to supply the key-note to the
part of the legislation. The key-note Is
to be found In the provision that there Is
to he but one system of legislation for
all the kingdoms for external things con
cerned.:,If it vuldes us to the conclusion
at which we have arrlved.dt . unity of
commercial legislation for the three king
doms, tbls will Includes customs and ex
else duties, postofflce and telegraph. By
adopting this key-note we can attain
most valuable results and .will be likely
to avoid clashing of the agents of the Im
perial and agents of the Irish government
We hope- to escape In this way all col
lection In the Interior of Ireland, of any
revenue whatever by imperial authori
ties. The preamble by which we ore
bound, to give effect In Ireland, requires
her to bear a fair share of Imperial ex
penditure. (Hear! : Hear!) Though the
rates of excise and post telegraDh rates
will be fixed In Amount, the authority
and whole control lover them will bo ab.
solutely In the hands of Irish officers. We
shall obtain from Ireland a fair share of
assistance In great Imperial emergencies,
I, myself, am bound to say that I think
there should be j very . little fear from
trusting to the patrlolsm and liberality
of the Irish legislature. (Opposition cries
of Oh! Ohjjind cheers from members on
the government benches). Stinginess nev
er was a Vice In the Irish people, and If
we look forward very much I am afraid
her suffering will bo due to generous ex
travagancies rather than meanness. In
conclusion, he said, I hope I shall not
give offense when I express my deep con
viction that a plan followed closely re
sembling this, may shortly become law.
There Is one risk, that if the controversy
be unduly and (unwarrantably prolonged
the low for self government In Ireland
may become a demand for the repeal of
the union and- the re-establlshment of
dual supremacy, In these Islands. I hope
the ship of state may be steered clear of
that rock."
The Oladstonlan liberals are disposed
to regard the bill as a conciliatory, well
ballanced and peace making measure and
seemed to be hopeful as to its second
reading. Tho nntl-Pnrnolllte members.
while guarded In their utterances favored
the bill as a whole and were especially
wen pleased with tho financial arrange
ments. All that the torles would say for
the new bill was that It was more saga
cious and better drawn than that of 1S85.
The Liberal Unionists will not make even
this favorable admission and are declar
ing everywhere that it would never reach
the committee stage In the house. ' "."
On the table lay the premier's familiar
lozenge pot, an Item of all Ills long
speeches. The presence of a lamp to aid
lils falling sight, added pathos to the
scene. All the London papers comment
on the bill. The most of them are dls
pleased with it. The Daily Telegraph
speaks or the sight of Gladstone deliver
lng his speech as a spectacle to which
the world cannot supply a parallel. Mar
velous as a physical and Intellectual tour
de force, it Is not statesmanship, nor
does it bear the remotest resemblance to'
anything deserving the name."

San Francisco, Peb. 13. The crew of
the wrecked steamer Whltelnw arrived
here with particulars of the loss of the
vessel off Russian river. The steamer was
engaged In wrecking the Joseph Spinney,
and at night the steamer was hauled oul

wester came up, the cable parted and thi
vessel was driven with great speed tow
ard the shore. Steam was got up but tht
hawser line fouled with the propeller ant?
It refused to work. Then the Whltelaw
drove against the shore, being raised b;
an enormous swell and coming down ot
a pointed rock which literally transflxec
her. The crew took to the boats ant
reached the shore. The vessel was wortl

The tug Holyoke met with a very un
usual experience, and but for the cutting
away of the big hawser, might have gone
to the bottom. She was off Flattery, or
at the entrance of the straits, and picked

grew In Intensity and Mowing after them
the big ship was driven onto the tuff,
which was unable to keep out of the way."
Fearing that he might be run down or
turned over the hawser was cut away
and was lost. The ship was not in s
dangerous place and afterwards got In.

DOINGS AT SALEM.
At a luncheon recently given to a com
pany of literary women, the places were
designated by miniature books, resem
hllng In appearance those of known clas
sics,- English, French and German. On
each tiny volume was the name of the
guest, and when she opened her volume
It was stored with sweets. A folded page
was also enclosed, which, when opened
out, showed, in the language of its ori
gin, a clever critique and brief account of
the author, whose name was on the back
of the mock booklet. .
It Is a pleasure to find so eminent an
authority as Carroll Beckwlth, the artist,
pronouncing In favor of women's dress
of today. After the "Greek, Mr. Beck
wlth Is reported, In an interview, to find
the "golden age In dress"' exemplified In
the drew of the American girl, the sort
who wears low heels and no corsets. The'
best type, he maintains, Is that In which
the lines of the figure are not concealed,
The Princess dress is lauded by hltn as
One of the most beautiful of all the mod
ern styles, "with Its long, graceful lines,
and adaptability to the movement of the
figure. - , . - '. t .
"It is almost disgraceful," said a woman
the other day, "that half, perhaps a much
larger proportion, of the women In our
churches do not know the first principles
of organizing and conducting a meeting.
A woman of tact and sense is chosen to
presided over the Missionary circle or
the Ladles' Aid Society, and she Is utterly
unable to fill her place with dignity and
credit to herself, much less ro make
those present comfortable. A simple
manual of parliamentary usage costs lit
tle, and tells exactly how to organize and
conduct any sort of an assembly. By the
use of their powers of observation and
their memories, women nowadays could
have all that Is necesrary In this depart
ment if they chose."
