Aug. 26.— The house of com mons is crowded with strangers to-night, public interest in the division on Mr. Gladstone's motion being intense. Among the members, too, there is a feel ing of anxiety, but this chiefly arises from the uncertainty as to how certain Unionists will vote, rather than from any doubt of the result. The course of -several leading Unionists lias for some days been a source of curiosity to a great many persons, as well as a matter of much speculation, and a great many bets, large and small have been laid on the turn of their votes. Lord Hartington and Mr. Chamberlain, in spite of their anomalous relation with one another, support the government, but the latter hie.- so with many qualms. The continued hobnobbing of Mr. Cham berlain with Mr. Trevelyan in the lob bies during the past week has attracted a great deal of attention and provoked considerable criticism of the Birming ham mans discretion in thus leaving himself open to attack upon the charge of dealing with the enemy for terms of surrender. Such a charge against Mr. Chamberlain would be groundless, how ever, as all who know him have faith that he would openly return to the Liberal party, it he went back at all. and not stoop to question able methods, of making terms with his former political companions. Mr. Trevelyan's attack upon the govern ment proclamation was a masterly argu ment and created a great impres sion upon the minds of several wavering Unionists, which, however, was removed by the subsequent able speech of Lord Harrington, who was also at his best. 11IK UK A II! FROM HYDROPHOBIA of Viscount Doneraile, again brings into prominence as a subject of dis cussion, M. Pasteur's system of treat ment for rabies. Lord Doneraile and his coachman were bitten by a rabid fox last January and were both treated by M. Pasteur. Neither showed any unfavor ble symptoms after the treatment, and the coachman is alive and! well to-day. never ha ting suffered faoin his wound since it was healed. Lord Donerailc's attack of hydrophobia and consequent death are attributed by his physicians and friends to his age and not to the inefficiency of M. Pasteur's system, but many persons on the other hand contend that the return of the disease in this case proves the worthlessness of the Frenchman's theories. NOTES FROM ABROAD. It is asserted here that <;. N. Lathrop, United States minister to Russia' is about to resign on account of ill-health. The government has announced its intention to increase its naval fleet in the North Sea. with a view of affording more efficient protection to English fish ermen and guarding as far as possible against the recurrence of the scenes enacted at Ostend a few days ago, on tin' occasion of the arrival at that port of a British vessel laden with fish. The unseemly excitement over the expected execution of Pramdni. which lias pervaded Paris and particularly manifested itself in the vicinity of La Koquette prison during the last few days still continues. Crowds of peo ple fill the streets throughout the night, shouting, singing and indulging in ribald jokes at the expense of the condemned murderer, and after sunrise when it be comes certain that another day must elapse before the execution can take place. disperse, to assemble after dark and repeat the previous night's ex perience. No one can tell when the sentence of the court will be executed, but it is not likely to occur for some days. E. C. Carter, the American athlete and sprint runner, sailed from Queens town for New York to-day. IX PARLIAMENT. A Lively Kvenine Session of the Commons. London. Aug. 'jr..— Sir James Fergu son, parliamentary secretary for the foreign oflice. stated in the house of commons this afternoon that Austria, Hungary, Germany, Holland. Italy, Spain and Denmark hail joined the con ference proposed for the arrangement of a union among European nations concerning sugar bounties. France, Russia and Portugal, he added, had not yet • answered the invitation to join the conference, Sir James Fergu son also announced that it was true that Ayoub Khan had escaped from Teheran, but said the government did not know in what direction be hail gone. The O'Gornian Mahon. Nation alist, the newly elected member of the house of commons for Carlow county, entertained the house this afternoon ami took his seat. He was greeted with cheers by the Parnellite members, Sir George O. Trevelyan. one ot the late Gladstonite recruits, resumed the debate on Gladstone's niition for an address to the queen praying for nullification of the government's pro claiming of the Irish National league. He said the late government did not ask the house of commons to pass their Irish crimes bill on hearsay, but that they based their demands on parliamentary returns of grave outrages. There hail been committed r,TO8 outrages dur ing the previous year and twenty-six agrarian and polit ical murders during the first half of the year. Sir George contended that the house should have tabulated statistics Hi crime in Ireland, and that to mention line crime here and another crime there Mas not sufficient to justify such action a* the government was now taking egainsl the whole Irish people. He de nied that the general operations of the Irish National league increased crime in Ireland or led to the general XOX-I'AYMKXT OF IIKXT. ■The league existed everywhere in Ireland and everywhere agrarian crime was infinitesimal. Where landlords in Ireland made reductions like those made by landlords in Great Britain, they got their rents - as easily as the English landlords. When the speaker went to Ireland as chief secretary under the last government, it was with a resolution to wage war against crime and against that onlv. and he maintained that policy on the whole. "Let the house .understand,"' he continued, /'that if the proclamation of the league is sanctioned every Irishman belonging to the league who will not leave it at the command of the government will be liable to be pun- ished as a common criminal. And' that liability will not depend on any judicial proceeding worthy of the name. In conclusion be complained that the state- ments made by Mr. Balfour, chief sec- retary for Ireland, and only given out last night left me no time for the examination of their character. Mr. Balfour had presented a series of al- leged facts in justification of the gov- ernment's action. These allegations the house should have a chance to cor- roborate or refute before coming to a decision! Sir R. E. Webster, attorney i general, held that the reason why there was not more convictions of crime in Ire- land was simply because of terror of the league. lie reminded the house tha Earl Spencer's government had repeat- edly proclaimed land league meetings, ami that Sir George. <>. Trevelyan had supported these proclamations on the ground that the objects of the Land league were to put down landlordism and to affect a separation between Ireland and England. The objects of the existing league, said the speaker, were the same. its aims had not been changed. Abundant evidence bad al- ready been adduced as to the evil work- ings of the league. The government j would now try the experiment whether ; the suppression of league meetings would not LESSEN thi: intimidation. [Irish cheers]. They were told this would be the death struggle. Well, either the league or the government would go down. [Irish cheering]. He : did not fear for the result. The govern : ment would be supported by the con- sciousness that they had done their duty. Hartington (Nationalist) said that as one largely responsible for the league ' he desired to reply to the calumnies that j hail been burled at its character. He read i letters from branches of the league con i demning the practices which the gov- ernment declared the league promoted.] | The league repudiated every form of outrage. The league would goon doing what it had done, iu spite of proclama- tions, which had no terrors for the Irish people. [Cheers.[ Mr. MacCartney de- clared that a large majority of the peo- ple were heartily sick of the league's j policy. He said that the proclamation j was necessary because the league would never attain its primary objects by con- stitutional means. Mr. William Red- mond accused the Orange society of i worse intimidation than was ever I charged to the league, which was a ' genuine national association. Under j certain circumstances, be said, boycott i ing was justifiable and necessary. [Cheers srom the ministerial branches.] Lord Hartington said he did not think the speech of Mr. Redmond would influence those present in favor of the constitutional and legitimate character of the league. He doubted whether, if Sir George O. Trevelyan's views upon the crimes act had been known in Brighton, he would have got the support of the Irish elect- ors. [Laughter.] sir George did not dwell on the tyranny of the league or the ruin and loss it caused, nor did he enter upon the question j whether Lord Salisbury and Earl j Spencer were justified in the policies ' they adopted. The question for present decision was whether the previous pol- ity, which had t c« U SO successful, should be followed by the present government, if the tyranny of the league became more rampant and more organized now. As far as the action of an association was wholly political it could not be con- demned, but if the action of an associa- tion destroyed the LIBKBT1 OF THE PEOPLE and subverted good government, it did not matter what the supposed, motives of the association were, lt was enough that its action was hostile to social order. [Cheers.] The house had al- ready decided that intimidation pre- vailed preventing persons from pursuing their lawful occupations. It was not the duty of the govern- ment to lay before parliament the in- formation desired by the opposition. The crimes act was a part of the law. Action was taken by the government as the executive, It was not necessary to produce evidence in support of execu- tive acts. He contradicted the reports that he had disagreed with the gov- ernment upon th*- step proposed. lie believed that the league's aim was spoliation and injustice and that its methods were in defiance of the law. [Cheers.] Lord Hartington thought the govern- ment might have acted hastily, but with their aim and object be entirely and earnestly sympathized. Thev * were justified by the facts. Sir William Vernon-Hareourt said to- night he believed that the Unionists would be resolved into their original atoms. Some would vote for the gov- ernment and some for the resolution. Such was the union of the Unionists. [Laughter and cheers.] Lord Hamil- ton's support of the government, lie said, was certainly not of the most cordial character. His concluding argument was weak because this authoritive act would have actually perished unless it had parliament's ap- proval. [Cheers.] The government al- lowed a verdict of not guilty to be en- tered in several clauses of the indict- ment against the league for they dii» NOT DACE to proclaim it as an association for the promotion of crime or interfering with the maintenance of law and order. The government wanted to strike the league because it was inconvenient to the polit- ical opinions and to tin pecuniary in- terests of the class they rep- resented; and it was character- istic of them that the first person struck was an Irish member of parliament, and the editor of an Irish newspaper. Sir William complained that the ministry's conduct in quoting from unfabled documents was a scan- dalous endeavor to blast the reputation I and suspend the liberties of the whole people upon evidence that would not be received against the meanest criminal. Mr. Goschen said the gov- ernment were fully conscious of their responsibility. He argued that the league was the outcome of the growth i of the Land league, which the Liberals had proclaimed. Its system \^;s ac- knowledged in its earliest days as likely to supercede the necessity of overt acts of outrage, and now the ab- sence of outrage was pointed out as ground for refusing to sanction the proc- lamation. There was nothing in any country of the world that could equal this fearful system of espionage carried on under the allspices of the league. Mr. Dillon— 1 utterly deny that a sys- tem of espionage is carried on by the league. [Irish cheers.] Mr. Goschen— -Then I should like to know how everything happened to be brought to the knowledge of the local branches of the league. Ample evidence has proved the existence of a system for inflicting material ruin and moral death on many individuals. It was stated to-night tint the government intends to propose, on Monday, a modi- fication of the cloture rule, with a view to expediting the passage of the supply bill. - : .;-^- Two Yachting Horrors.

Cummins, the anti-prohibition nominee for tin- legislature in Polk county, has prepared his letter of acceptance. The letter reviews the distribution of power under our system of government. The right of the state to fix a license is con- ceded, but it is contended that the de- cision as to whether license or prohibi- tion shall prevail should be left to local authorities to decide for themselves. The operations of the present law in Des Moines, the outrages that have been perpetrated in its enforcement, and the burdens it has placed upon our people are recited, and the writer closes with a strong and manly pledge, if elected, to use his best endeavors to have the law repealed. There is every probability that the Democrats will indorse the nomination of Cummins and Baker. " The Farmers' Wroth. Special to the Globe.

She is said to have considerable dramatic talent, and it is thought that McClane enticed her from her husband by prom- ising to put her on the stage. FURTHER DETAILS. Special to the Globe. • New York, Aug. 20. — Upper society circles at Asbury Park were treated to a sensation early this month. It was the advent of a beautiful and accom- plished woman, bearing the name of Mrs. Florence Davis, who arrived with her husband, William Davis, of this city, and engaged a suite of rooms for the season at Franklin cottage. Mrs. Davis took the town by storm. Apparently about twenty-two years of age. of brunette type, possessing lus- trous black eyes and that kind of hair conventional described as resembling the raven's wing, a figure unapproach- able in its symmetry, the general ver- dict was that such a beautiful woman had not graced Asbury Park for many a season. When Mrs. Florence Davis' bathing hour arrived" everybody who could went down to the ore. Her bathing costume was a marvel of taste. It was of light blue material, cut to what seemed to be an indiscreet extent at the neck and fitting her magnificent . figure perfectly. She; would promenade" "the shore " after leaving her bathing house, fol- lowed afar off by her admirers, until she reached a favorable spot for entering the water, and then flying fearlessly in she could swim through the breakers with the grace of j a mermaid and the skill of an athlete. Among the guests at the Barrett house ' was a r YOUNG THEATRICAL, MANAGER I named Wiles McClane. He has been j in the profession for five or six years, I and has a reputation for being a jolly. | good fellow. His relatives are wealthy residents of Newark, N. J., and he frequently referred to Po- lice Commissioner McClave of this city as his uncle. McClane soon became a social favorite. He met Mrs. Davis. Their, relations rapidly changed from those of mere acquaintances to intimate friends. She was Ids partner every- where and they called each other '-Ed" and "Frankie,"' the latter being a" pet substitute for Florence. Then ' the gossips wagged their heads. with a vengeance and the names of the manager and Belle became asso- ciated in conversations of the most scan- dalous nature. In the meantime the husband lived in blissful ignorance of what was going on. Also stopping at Asbury Park was a lady who became fascinated by the attractions of Man- ager McClane. and as that gentleman, previous to encountering Mrs. Davis, had returned her admiration, she de- cided that she had won his affections. She heard of his conduct with Mrs. Davis and came to the conclusion that she had to encounter a dangerous rival. She then determined to crush her. Shortly afterward Mr. Davis received this letter: Look after your wife. She is the talk of the town.nud Wilkes McClane's name is associated with hers. '-Davis talked to his wife and they • quarreled. That night, when* the hus •band returned to his home, he found, instead of his wife, the ollowing note: 1 1 havli left you for (rood. It is of no use to look for me." I never want to tee you again. It is believed by the intimate friends "of the parties concerned that the elopers have gone to Chicago, and that Mrs. Davis will enter suit for absolute di- vorce, so as- to be free to marry Mc- Clane. GEORGIA CONVICTS. . f "Their Sufferings at Last Seem to Their Sufferings at Last Seem to i-" . • ".*•.*- Be Over. I Atlanta, Aug. 20.— At last the axe has fallen and the iniquitious convict labor system of Georgia must go. By executive order. Gov. Gordon has called on the lessees of the penitentiary com- panies Nos. •' and 3 to show cause why tin; lease should not be annulled. These companies are principally formed of James W. English. William S. Lowe and .lames W. Smith. Several days ago the governor received an aimonynious j letter signed ••Convicts,'" which declared \ that tin- convicts were being whipped j because they made known the existing j abuses, and asked that the matter be ! • investigated. From the postmark it was I ascertained that the letter came from | the camp -under charge of C. C. Bing- ham, on the Georgia Midland road. ! Principal Keeper Towers at once pro- ceeded there, had the men called up in j line: and -stripped of clothing. The i backs of the men were found to be "!•,':'- (IT AND BRl'ISED in a terrible manner as though knives ' had been used to open the flesh. Gov. ; Gordon read the statement with indig- nation, and at once signed an order dis- missing Bingham from any service in which the state was interested, and or- j dering the solicitor general to prose- j Cute him for his crimes. Active steps ! pre being taken to protect the convicts I from the rage of the lessees, and it is j said that Principal Keeper Towers ; took personal charge of Camp No. 2. j Tiie ■ suppressed report of the prison j iecper a* Westmoreland, which was ] ■made {» Gov. McDaniel in lss~, and "which the governor would not allow to ' *ta made public, was yesterday given to : to the press. It is a shocking recital of ; I fifth and crime, and will help the de-] maud for the abolition of the lease sys- -.— There is no doubt as to the govern- ' or's intention to declare the lease an- nulled, owing to the violation of its pro- visions by the lessees. The lessees are moving heaven and earth to-night to avert the blow which is falling upon them, but the governor is determined in his course, backed by the public opinion of the state, and indorsed by the per- sonal assurances of members of the leg- islature. The Dade coal mines camp, which belongs to Company No. 1, and owned by Gov. Brown, is not com- plained of, but it will have to share in the wreck. Hh_l TRAIN WRECKING. Developments Regarding Last Year's Strike. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 26.— On the morning of April 26, 1886, Engineer Joseph II. Fowler felt his engine leave the track near Wyandotte, Kan., and the next instant he was at death's door from the effects of bruises and scalding steam from his overturned engine. His fireman, Charles Holton, and the brakeman, . William Carlisle, were lying under the wreck. This was the culmination of the South- western strike, in which the strength of the organization of the Knights of Labor was pitted against the Missouri Pacific railway system. The second trial of George H. Hamilton, the leader of the train wreckers, is now in progress in Wyandotte, The arrest of the six men engaged in the work was brought about by the confession of William Vossen, and later Fred Newport turned state's evidence, and added his testimony to that of Yossen. Yesterday a sensation WAS caused by the arrest of Charles Babbitt, and the announcement that Frank Whitney had been compelled by his guilty con- science to unburden his mind of the ter- rible secret which he had carried for eighteen months. Babbitt is charged with the wrecking of a freight train at Elm Park, about six miles east of Kansas City, in April. 1885. The trap was laid for a passenger train, but the extra freight was caught. The confessions of. the three men as far as they implicate their confederates in these crimes, do not carry much that is sensational, but the prosecution has allowed it to leak out that sensational developments will be made as the trial progressed. It is claimed that it will be conclusively proven that the whole diabolical scheme was the direct result of a preconcerted action instigated and formulated in a lodge room of the Knights of Labor.

It was expected that it could be Shown that the purchase was simply an intrigue of the company to prevent the building of the road in order that they might secure the carrying of this year's crop which means a great deal to the company. It was also intended to cross- examine Y: n'lorne in regard to rates and make -him prove by quoting from the rates of other lines that the competing line from Manitoba connecting with the American system would be of great advantage to settlers. The local authorities reckoned without their host, however, for the magnates were not to be caught in a trap.

The magnates were out on a branch line in a special train, and it was intended to serve . them on . com- ing.to the city.

About half past 2 this morning j a messenger tapped at Sir Donald's dorr and as his -0118111688 was urgent gained admittance. He had a message announcing the intention of the move- ment to have them subpoenaed to attend the examination. This informtaion was soon digested by the magnates, and after a hasty council of war they de- cided on skillful and hasty actions. Once Van makes up his mind, he is quick to act, and seating himself for an instant at a little table he wrote: "Im- mediate, send out engine at once to take us East; have track cleared; shove us through without stoppage at Winni- peg." Half an hour later an engine was rattling out to Silverheights. Soon the engine was attached to the private car, a sharp whistle given and away the special sped towards Winnipeg. The track through the yard had been cleared, and the train rattled through at break neck pace. There was no stoppage at the station here. Visiting Stockmen. J. S.
