VOL. XXXVIII.-NO. W. GLADSTONE'S BAD BREAK. His Snub of the Working men Keenly Felt. His Colleagues Consider It a Tactical Mistake. The Conservative Leaders Making: the Most of the Error. The Labor Question Foremost In British Polities—Tories Say Homo Rule Will CroaUr Civil War in Ireland—Cabin News. Associated Press Dispatches. London, May 6.—[Copyright, 1802, by the New York Associated Press.] Gladstone's refusal to receive delegates from the workingmen'B conference who desired to present the eight-hour ques tion, is felt by the rank and file of the Liberal party to have been a tactical mistake. Taking advantage of the mis take, the London Conservative members have decided to influence the govern ment to take the opposite course. At a meeting of Liberal members they hesi tated to condemn the action of Glad stone, and therefore referred the matter to a committee with instructions to re port Tuesday. The Conservatives stole a march by inducing Salisbury and Balfour to rer ceive a deputation of trades union repre sentatives. Tbey, however, will not be duped into supposing that the Con servatives are more zealous in the cause of labor than tho Liberals. Nor will either Salisbury or Balfour commit themselves to tho eight-hour movement. Bat it is doubted that the result of the conference will place the labor move ment at the head of the progress of both political parties, to the embarrassment of the Liberal chief, who is pledged to home rule first. Gladstone's organ, the Speaker, will say tomorrow that the enemies of home rule, despairing of success by open at tacks, seek to divert the attention of the Liberal masses from tbe Irish question and convert certain victory into a rout. , Such expressions, coming from the Lib eral press, are suggestive of the strung alarm prevailing lest the party be wrecked on the labor difficulty before Salisbury's trend is known. The Times upheld Gladstone's refusal to receive the delegation, and denounced the efforts of tbe labor leaders to extort pledges at this stage of the move ment as an outrageous attempt to over bear the judgment of pailiament. This criticism, however, does not af fect the satisfaction of the Conservatives over tbe policy of the leaders who are now obviously harrassing the Liberals and attracting toward the government a strong body of workingmen. The offi cial Unionist paper declares that tbe action of Gladstone chilled the hearts of the workingmen which were once warm toward him to the core. THE GENERAL ELECTION. At a conference of the Liberal elec tion agents, Schnadharst calculated that the general election will give the Lib erals a majority of seventy-seven irr tbe next bouse, and held that the labor complications would exert only a minor influence. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, at the conference, stated that the elections were certain to be held at the com mencement of July, following the Ulster convention at Belfast and the Irish Unionist convention at Dublin. ORANGEMEN BUYING ARMS. Sir William asserted that the Orange lodges were privately subscribing money for the purchase of arms to carry out the threatß to rebel rather than submit to an Irish parliament. Whether the Tories really believe an armed conflict would follow the estab lishment of an Irish parliament, they assume sincerity and cultivate the belief that civil war would be the outcome of home rule. Salisbury's private secretary has writ ten an Oxford clergyman to the end that "his lordship was glad to see you impress upon the electors the probabil ity that home rule would produce the greatest of all curses—a religious civil war." After this, it is no wonder to hear of men drilling in Ireland, and that rifles and munitions of war are being stored in England. PITHIAN'S FREE SHir BILL. Fithian's free ship bill, and the report that the Inman line will build two ships in America, is causing considerable dis cussion in English shipping circles. The first effect of the passage of the Fithian bill, according to English opin ion, will be to advance the value of Eng lish tramp screw steamers, many of which will replace the wooden sidewheel steamers now engaged in the American coasting trade. The subsequent result will be that some of the large Atlantic lines will be put under the American flag. In regard to tho Inman line, the Clyde builders hold that the building of vessels in America will add one-fourth to the cost, besides extra expenditures for tbe wages of officers, engineers, sea men and firemen. BELLE BILTON TAKES TO HORSES. The Countess Clancarty, nee Belle Bilton, the famous music hall singer, has adopted a novel method of getting into "society" by joining a select circle of lady horse-owners. Her horse Sun light ran in the Galway hunt, but was beaten. NO PETITION FOR DEEMING. No petition in Deeming's case has yet been lodged with the judicial committee of the privy council.

An expedition to leave England, June Ist, to explore the portion of the Dark Continent yet unknown, will be led and entirely equipped by William Astor Chandler, a young American known to all interested in African ex ploration, for hia daring trips through Masailand some three years ago. Chandler ia a son of the late John Win throp Chandler, and a grandson of the famous Sam Ward. FIENDISH CRUELTY. A Little Girl Tortured to Death by Her Stepmother. London, May 6. —The second wife of James Clark, a carman, waa arraigned today on the charge of having caused the death of her step-daughter, aged 9 years. She was committed for trial, and the husband severely censured for not having prevented the cruelties that led to the death of his daughter. The evidence allowed that the child was treated with the greatest brutality; ehe was often tied to balusters, and kept there seven hours at a stretch. Mrs. Clark frequently beat her terribly with a strap or heavy cane, and often when she claimed the girl was telling false hoods, she tied strings tightly about her tongue, and left her for hours to suffer excruciating torture. The child finally gave way and died. The physician tes tified that but for the ill-usage to which she was subjected, and lack of food, the child would have been perfectly healthy. <• ROME AND FRANCE. Refractory l!i shops' Salaries Reduced. The Pope's Sage Advice. Paris, May 6. —The council of state condemned the pastoral of the arch bishop of Avignon. The salaries of the bishops of Montpelier, Valence, Nimes and Viviers have been stopped. The pope's letter to the French cardinal re peats his former advice to support the republic, but adds comments which minimize the force of the injunction. The pith of the letter is contained in the pope's declaration that it is impossible to defend religion while suspected of using it as a weapon against the govern ment. "You must first," he says, "gain the confidence of the government by sincere support of the republic, when instead of being repulsed as hypocriti cal adversaries, you will have to be tteated and listened to as allies." THE COMING KAISER. William's Eldest Son Installed as Youngest Lieutenant in the Army. Berlin, May 6.—Crown Prince Fred erick William, the German emperor's eldest son, was 10 years old today, and in accordance with the long-established custom, became the youngest lieutenant in the army, being assigned to the Firat regiment of guards. The ceremony of installing the crown prince was wit nessed by all the members of the imperial family and a brilliant assemblage of members of the royal families from all parts of the empire. After the prince had taken his place in tbe regiment, the emperor beaded the troops in a march past the empress. A grand banquet in honor of the occasion was given at the castle this afternoon, at which the emperor toasted bis son and heir. GOT MAD AND RESIGNED. The Resignations of tho Italian Cabinet in King Humbert's Hands. Rome, May 6.—The Marquis di Ru dini, prime minister, today tendered King Humbert the resignations of all the members of the cabinet, due to tbe refusal yesterday of the chamber of deputies to adopt a vote* of confidence in the government's financial policy of retrenchment, the finances of Italy be ing in a bad way. Rudini announced the resignation of the cabinet iv the deputies today, and added, however, that King Humbert reserved his decision in the matter, and in the mean time the present ministry would continue in office. King Humbert has not yet accepted the resignations of the ministers, and is undecided what course to pursue. * Russia Preparing for War. London, May 6.—The Sebastapol cor respondent of the Standard says: Pre parations for war in Russia have never been more active than now. There is a continuous movement of veteran troops to the frontiers of the country, and the calling of the successive categories of reserves in the interior has commenced. The reserves will be forwarded to vari ous points of concentration where they can in the easiest manner reinforce the rogulars in the Polish garrisons on the Austrian and German frontiers. The naval transport preparations are nearly completed. Dynamiters Again at Work. Liege, Belgium, May 6. —A powerful cartridge was found this evening in the doorway of the residence of Baron Selysson, the scene of one of last Sun day's explosions. The fire attached to the cartridge failed to burn. At the police examination of the Anarchist prisoners today Beaujean confessed that he, Moineau and Wolf had stolen a quantity of Faiver powder and used it in connection with cartridges to blow up St. Martin's church and a court minis ter's residence. « An English Turf Event.

WATER-SOAKED STATES. The Mississippi Valley a Vast Lake. Nearly All the Streams Out of Their Banks. Cities in Illinois, Indiana and lowa Badly Inundated. Chicago's Water Supply Polluted by Sewage—Damage at Peoria and Ottawa—A Big Sturm at Washington, 1). C. Associated Press Dispatches. Chicago, May o.—As the result of the tremendous rain this week, there is grave (laager that £he immense amount of sewage now being discharged into the lake will reach the crib and pollute the city's water supply. The officials hope that the flood may subside in time to enable them to begin pumping back into the Illinois and Michigan canal. At present the pumping works which perform this duty are idle, the water in the canal being so high that it sets into the river, and it is useless to use the pumps. The water in the river today was several inches higher than yesterday, and the current was so stropg that the movement of vessels was dan gerous. A collision resulted tqday, in which a sailor was killed. In many of the city basements floods remained, and until the river is lower to give tbe sew ers full capacity not much change can be expected. So far as the railroadß are concerned the worst effects of the great storm'hav* been overcome and traffic is being re sumed, though it will be several days before business resumes its usual regu larity. It is reported that Marian, from Union to Hornwood, is one vast lake. In the vicinity of Joliet, Lockport and other points in northern Illinois, a vast amount of damage has been done, and the waters are not showing any signs of subsiding. A DELUGE AT PEORIA. Peoria, May 6.—The dyke of the La Marsh drainage district, in the lower end of this city, gave way shortly after 7 o'clock this evening, flooding a district about five miles long and two and a half miles wide. This was all reclaimed land and unaer cultivation. About twenty families live there, and the greatest excitement prevails at Pekin, directly opposite. It is feared some of these people perished in the rush of Waters.. Rescuing parties are going out from Pekin. Tbe Illinois river ia highesj than it has been since 1544. THE FLOOD AT OTTAWA. Ottawa, 111., May 6.—Heavy rains to day brought the flood up two feet higher. On the south side boats were removing people from the water-soaked homes. The electric railway power house is partially submerged and the line abandoned. The glass factory dis trict is under water. Great furrows have been made in many streets, and culverts, sewers and drains are rendered worthless by the flood. The loss in this city alone is fully $75,000. Marseilles, La Salle and Perry are without electric light or gas tonight. THE MISSISSIPPI BOOMING. Keokuk, May 6. —The Mississippi has been rapidly rising the past two days. The lowlands are submerged, crops ruined and farmers are taking their stock and families to high ground for protection. The small levees along the Demoines and Fox rivers have broken and large tracts are under water. The main levee, however, is yet safe. Alexander Moiese was drowned, and people are traveling about in boats. Should the rise continue much longer, the disastrous flood of four years ago will be repeated. Greenville, Miss., May 6.—The Mis sissippi river tonight is higher than any previous record and is still rising; the levees, however, are in good condition. A STORM AT WASHINOTON. Washington, May 6, —A severe rain and wind storm passed over the city this afternoon, ruining several houses and prostrating trees. The steeple of the Hamline church, in the northern part of the city, was blown off and crushed the adjoining buildings. Ko lives were lost, but the damage to prop erty throughout the city is several thousand dollars. A CYCLONE STRIKES GETTYSBURG. Gettysburg, Pa., May 6.—This after noon a cyclone struck this place, un roofing several houses and doing much minor damage. A Mrs. Willard was severely injured. THE FRESHET AT KANSAS CITY. Kansas City, May 6.—-Owing to the recent heavy rains the Kaw river rose to an alarming extent, but is now falling. Considerable damage was done in Ar gentine and Armourdale. The Missouri river has risen four feet in two days. No damage has resulted, but should the rains continue the low lying portions of the oity will be inundated. INJURED INNOCENCE. Russell Harrison -Replies to the Yellow stone Park Charges. New York, May 6.—The Mail and Ex press prints an interview with Rußsell Harrison concerning tbe alleged issue of stock to him by the Yellowstone Park association. Harrison, in substance, says the attempt of Gibson to make it appear that stock was issued for him (Harrison) in his association, is a malicious effort to drag him into a matter with which he has had no connection. He added that Gibson has preferred charges against every secretary of the interior since his association drove Rufus Hatch out of the park. They always made a determined effort to have a monopoly of everything in the park and run things as they pleased. Hard on the Missionaries. New York, May 6.—A Washington correspondent telegraphs his paper nuufl, i ntu uuau.uu upon mc ... '-- ~ - authority that there is no likelihood that the Peking government w ill sever Ub commercial or diplomatic relations with the United States, but it is not improbable that the American mission aries in China may soon have their privileges abridged and have certain putty annoyances practiced upon them." A 810 BLAZE IN GOTHAM, Slaughter Houses and a Wharf Burned. Loss a Quartor of a Million. New Yobk, May 6.—Early this morn ing a fire started in the immense slaugh ter house of Schwatzchild & Sulzburger, wholesale butchers, on Forty-fifth street and East river. The building contained large quantities of inflammable matter and these were soon a mass of flames. From there the fire spread to the pier at the foot oi Forty-filth street,, then along the wharf to Forty-Seventh street. Ves sels anchored near the docks were im mediately towed out into the stream. During the fire 500 head of cattle in an adjoining shed were turned loose and went tearing through the streets in a panic. There were many narrow escapes from being trampled to death by the infuriated animals. The loss to the buildings, contents and the wharf is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars. ESCAPES RECAPTURED. The Witnesses of tho Champion and Kay Killing Overhauled. Crawford, Neb., May 6.—William Walker and Ben Jones were arrested last night by Marshal Morrison on a tele gram from Wyoming. The two menare important, witnesses in the killing of Champion and Ray in Wyoming, and etcaped from the Buffalo jail a day or so ago. Cattlemen arrived in Crawford today and demanded the prisoners, who aeked for protection from the cattlemen. A train was sent from Chadron, and the prisoners and the marshal taken there half an hour ahead of the regular train, on which were several rustlers and cattlemen. Considerable excitement prevails, and much feeling is shown in favor of the prisoners and against the cattlemen. CONDENSED CABLEGRAMS. The mikado opened the Japanese par liament Friday.
