Lojidox, Auk. 11. The scene In the House
I Of Common J urine this ovenlng's flnal dobnte
and deolslvo Toto on tho address has not beoa
quailed In Interesting and exciting 'o'ua
Inoe the similar crisis ot the Home Itule bill
debate In 1880. when Mr. Gladstone; now vlo
torlous. was o orthrown. lory Inch of avail
able spaoo on the Ooor was occupled.and soma
of tho mombers had to nnd soata inthognl
lerlos. and oven to spoak from thoso olovated
and distant positions. Every EnKlIsh raom
ber vras present, and tho total numbor of nb
entees was only thirteen. Tho visitors who
erowdod tho outsiders' gallorles wero woll
repaid for their attendance by witnessing one
1 of tho peacotul revolutions by which England
, ovorthrows one set of rulers und sets up
P anothor.
Though Herbert Gladstone declares that his
father has fully recovered his hoalth. and that
the storlos ot his weakness aro Inventions of
malicious political enomlos. and though tho
Erillth Medical Journal on tho authority of Sir
Andrew CUrke. states that Mr. Gladstone Is
sound In body and mind and ablo to work with
any man of his age. povortholcss tho need
statesman to-day looked palo and distressed,
and sank Into his soat as though exhaustod.
He was nervous and Irritable. Tho light from
the opposite windows annoyed hlra, his oyes
, being still weak from tho effocts ot tho injury
sustained by one ot them during tho campaign
In Sootland. At a signal from him the attend
ants olosed tho windows and drow the cur
tains. During most of tho debnto Mr. Glad
stone listened with his oyos closed, kcoplng
his haDd to his ear In token ot attention to
what was being said.
Mr. Chamberlain never camo so near losing
control of hlmsolf as In his rago to-day at the
taotlos omployod by Tim Hoaly toproventhls
delivering a speech. The Birmingham states
man's faco was almost groen with cholor. Ho
hoaped denunciations upon Hoaly's head.
Healy smiled sardonically during most ot the
diatribe, but when Chamberlain doclarod that
Healy was a person who would Insult any
man. and then, pausing, added with offonslve
emphasis, "or any woman." the faco of tho
Irish membor underwont a BUddon chango of
appearance and became livid with supprossod
rage. Tho Tories yelled with delight at Cham-
berlaln's home thrust and kept up tho shout
ing until thoy were hoarse. After Chamber
lain's speech, he and Lord Randolph Churchill
iwere seen ohatttng together in the lobby, the
first time they have beon known to oonverse
in years.
The Tories were plainly chagrined at their
failure to extort replies from the Liberals.
The latter werooontont to do very little talk
ing and to rely upon their votos. When Mr.
Gladstone entered he was cheered enthusias
tically. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who wore
an orchid. In addition to his usual garb, was
alio cheered as ho wont to his Beat. The mem
bers were generally good-humored, tho Con
servatives looking reconciled to defeat and
the Liberals happy over victory. . . .
The Might Hon. Joseph Chamberlain arose
to speak on the motion of "noconfldenoe,"
but Mr. Alpheus a Morton. Liberal, of Peter
borough objected on the ground that ho hod
already spoken the previous ovenlng. The
Speaker overruled the objection, whereupon
Mr. Chamberlain proceeded with his remark.
He bitterly commented on the tactics em
. P.loyed to prevent him from speaking, and said
that It was an early sample ot the petty and
malignant treatment to bo meted out to the
Liberal-Unionists. Mr. Gladstone was civilly
answered: Irish members wero treated In a
similar way. but remarks by Unionists wero
regarded as irrelevant and impudent.
Alter this outbreak, which tho Liberal
Unionists showed somo BiitnB of apolauding.
and to which the Irish members listened with
grim satisfaction. Mr. Chamberlain launched
out against the incoming Government, lie
fatd that the policy and comnosltlon of the
ncomlng Government were unknown; foreign
l trAiihlAa tvnrA Inominl ur In Italy and in
1 Egypt, and if ever a foreign polloy was needed
that would command tho respect of tho world
It was now. He trusted that Lord Itosobery
would be called to tho Foreign Office. Tho
people trusted Lord llosobery. why? Bo
eause his views were utterly opposed to tho
Views of Mr. (iladstono and Mr. Morley.
Tho Llboral declarations. Mr. Chamberlain
continued, wero Irreconcilable with Irish de
mands. What, therefore, wns tho prospect for
tho new Government if tho Irish Nationalists
adhered to their repeated declarations and It
tho Liberals kept fulth with tho hngllsh
peoplo? In such a case the incoming Govern
ment would not last a single day. Tho efforts
of those about to tako ollice would result in
Inevitable failure., ,
William O. E. Macartney. Conservat ye. of
South Antrim, followed with a strong denun
ciation of homo rule. He said that tlio honor
able gentleman from Dublin (Mr. Field) want
ed to wade in Protestant blood. This state
ment was received with loud cries of Oh I
ohl" from the Irish benches, and Sir. Ma
carthney subsequently withdrew It and npolo
'SrH. Woods, Gladstonlan for the Inco
division of Lancashire; Mr. J. W. Benn. Glad
tonlan for tho St. George's division of Tower
Hamlets, and other Gladstonlans, criticised
Mr. Chamberlain. .... ... f i
Admiral Field (Conservative), for tho East
bourne division of Sussex, said that tho Gov
ernment, by Uring at the Opposition for three
days, would have sunk It had it not been for
the oork dust of the Irlr' lifeboats. It would
be the bounden duty of the House of Lords, he
said, to reject a bill sent to it by a miserable
majority of forty Irishmen. ,, ,
The Bight Hon. Sir John Lubbock, Lntpnlst.
M. r. for London University, said that it was
unjust that Ireland should be so excessively
represented in 1'arllamont as to be enabled to
carry homo rule against the wishes ot England
W. JUlenfLlberal. of Nowcastle-under-Lyne.
defended home rule. He said that tho Ameri
can colonies had bten lost to England forever
inora beoause England had attempted to dic
tate to them as to tholr domostlo affairs. .Can
ada was happy and prosperous because It had
Its own legislature. , .
Blr Edward Clark, Conservative, asserted
that only three of tho more prominent Lib
erals had put Irish home rulo In the eloHlon.
and all of these had lost heavily at the polls.
Blr Henry James. Llboral Unionist for the
Lanos division of Bury, defended the Govern
ment in favoring a protracted dobato, ana
cited the four days' debate in the Housn in
1811. He called upon Mr. Gladstono to confirm
the applicability of the precedent, but Mr.
Oladstona raiused to sanction the comparl-
on. remarking dryly: "Tho casus aro totally
dissimilar."

t he was recolvod with continued crios of "Dl-
' Tide I" and general confusion among tho Oppo
sition benches. Mr. Chaplin proceeded undU
mayed, howover, to attack the Opposition for
its aimless and uudollned policy. Ho was fre
quently interrupted, and sat down amid ro
J uewod calls fur a division, laughter from the
Opposition benches, and falut ohoers from tho
JdlnUterlallots.
A glass of whlskoy had boon sont to Mr.
Chaplin during his spooch as if to suggest that
be might abbreviate it, und upon rosumlng his
seat ho drank it. Mountlme the calw for u
division swelled to a chorus and were not
stilled until the declaration came that tho vote

In tho division tho Parnollltex nnd tho nntl-

stone. When the luorabers roPntered the
House Ironic cheers wore given for Mr. Bal

of all to rome back. When he appeared tho
Nationalists rose, waved their hats nnd
cheered. It was then announced that the vote

Paius, Aug. 11. It was stated that releaso
from prison was offered to Edward Parker Dea
con on condition that he would lcavo Frnnce
forthwith, novor to return. Mr. Doaoon
docllnod the offer. Tho Fronch authorities
are much disappointed at the refusal, as tholr
objoct has beon to prevont. If possible, the
trial of Deacon's suit against his wlfo for di
vorce, and the oxposuro to the world of tho ad
ditional evidonco going to show her guilty ot
misconduct with M. Abeilte. Thoy would llko
to expel Deacon from tho country attor his
torm of lmprlsonmont, but as thoy havo no
ground for such action it is fearod that It
might call forth a remonstrance on tho part
of the Amortcan Legation. Thorotoro tho at
tompt wns mado tolnduco Deacon hlmsolf to
go us n condition ot bolng llberatod. . ,
The Abelllo family and their inUuentlal con
nections are busily engaged in endeavoring
to prevent Deacon from having any further
opportunity to air his grievances, nnd hnve.
It Is said, succeeded In completely gaining
over tho highest authorities of tho republic
to tholr side. It is Bald that thoro Is a class
of Fronchmon of the snmo oharaotor us Abelllo
who nro continually nnnoylng tho wives and
doughtors of foreigners to whom they con
trlvo to obtnln an introduction, and that tho
Deacon ease has been a salutary lesson for
this class ot people. It is claimed by Deacon's
friends that tho principal reason why so much
sovorlty Is shown toward him ! that men liko
Aliellla are so numoroua in France, that in
punishing Doacon thoy aro protecting thom
Belvos by giving notlco to foreigners that
Frenchmen who Insult or mislead their wlvoa

and ospoclally must not bo killed.
Mr. Deacon's suit for divorce will come up

From conversations with others on board

Inevitable, tho bark bolng heudod diroctly for

steamed head on to tho bark, cuttlne her in

Tho Iron nerve and wonderful solt-oontrol ot
tho accused woman was novor more clearly
manifested than when tho warrant charging
hor with tho murdor ot hor paronts was read
to hor this evonlng. Whon sho left the court
room nt noon yosterday she Boomed about to
break down. All tho old flro had gono from

Thoro was no false note in the toIco and she

with enthuslastla workers, all ot whomwoio
very jubilant ovor a telegram roeolved last

the receipt ot a loiter this morning, to tho olToct
that Judgo Grcaham hnd concluded to tako
tho stump in tho interest ot tho Third party
nnd would mako lils opening Bpooch at In
dianapolis tho latter part of this month.
Chairman Taubenock received this intolll
gonco from tho Chairman of tha btato Com
mittee ot Indiana, to whom Judgo Grosham
hod wrltton, declaring his intentions nnd set
ting forth his reasons for making a cnmpalgn
in tho Interest otGon. Weaver. In his report
to tho national headtjuartors tho Chairman ot
tho Btato Commtttoo ot Indiana states that
Judgo Grcaham. in apprising him ot his In
tentions. Informod him by lottor that ho did
not rofuso the Presidential nomination bo
couso ho was not In sympathy with tho party,
but for a reason that was ontlroly porsonal,
and not political.
" How do you llko that for a nloca of nows?"
said Mr.Tnubonock. " It means that ono spoooh
from Grosham, no matter whethor ho makes
moro than ono in our favor, setting forth our
objocts and indorsing our platform, will win
over DOO.000 votos for tho People's party that
wo would havo boon unablo to control other
wise. 'With a flattering prospoot now in Indi
ana, tho oncournglng reports received from
tho South, nnd with tho silver Btntcs behind
us. wo havo good couso to feol hopeful."
Chairman Taubeneck was asked It he would
olvo Secretary Stoll's letter for publication.
This ho refused to do.
Henry Yinoent. editor ot tho Btato organ, and
who was ono ot tho committee who waited on
Judgo Grcshamto induce, him to accept the
nomination for tho l'rosldoncy. said In rofor
onco to the despatch announcing his Intention
of stieuklnc here: "It does not surnriso mo
In tho least.
Last July, when the Pcoplo's party commit
too waited upon Judge Grosham at Chicago,
ho gave us to understand that ho would make
soveral speechos before tho oampalen
rlosod. There is no question in my mind
but that the despatch that nppoarod
to-day is eenutno. When Otto Grosham.
tho Judco's son. was hero about a week, ago
ho told mo that lu a fow days ho would have
somo good nows for tho People's party, nnd I
suppose now that ho reforrod to his father's
Intention to take tho stuinp.as Intimated to-day
In that Ht. Louis tolegram. Of course tho tna-
Iorlty of tho Judge's speeches will he delivered
n Indiana, although ho may make somo In
Ulnols. where his popularity Is fully as great
as It Is In this State. It may sound Ifko nn ex
aggeration, but nevertheless I bellevo that
Judgo Grosham will mako fifty thousand
votos for us hero in Indiana. Ho is in hearty
sympathy with tho movement, and will yield
a most powerful influence In this Statu."

workod rapidly duilng the morning, and U
'J o'olock had lowered their platform twontV'
foot moro.
Shortly beforo 21 Contractor Mulr, who had
boon up on tho sidewalk stinting giving thot
mon above him somo dlrcctiuns, camo down
to the street to soe a man. Ho had barolr
crossed tho streot when he hoard a cry ot
alarm followed by n crash. He looked up at:
the Btooplonnd saw tho platform hanging by
ono ropn nnd swinging liko a pendulum.
Wells had bsen thrown clear of tho woodworks
aud hnd landed In aheap in tho street. Dirt
had clutchod attho scaffolding whun ho tolls
himself going, nnd hnd mnnngod to savo hlm
solf. He climbed down the framework with Ills ,
hands badly skinned. Campboll struck tho j
stnulng which coerod tho sidewalk with bucIi v
forcons to broak through It and drop upon
tho sidewalk. He and Wells wero picked ur
for doad and hurried Into Ht. Luko'a Hospital.
Thore It wob found that Wolls had morely suf
forod a frncturo of the right anklo. Campbell's
iniurios. howovor. wore moro Borious. Ho
was unconscious and blooding from a dozonv
wounds. Tho doctors bay that ho will prob
ablydlo.
Tho rope was examined and was found tot
havo been cut. Tho rope was ot three great)
strands, oach strand consisting of three)
small onos. Two of tho great strands had
been out clear through with a sharp knlfey
whllo tho third great strand was also partly,)
severed. The rope had evidently not been cut
yostorday. It might havo boen out on WednesV
day, Monday, or a woek ago. It will ho noces-R
sary to measure tho rope bofore tho time oan
bu approximated. Tho supposition is that the
rope was cut some days aco when the PlaWi
form was near tho top ot tho stooplo. and top
surplus rope lay colled on the street bolowv
Thoro was no strain upon tho partly severed!' f
rone until tho platform was lowered HtinlcienU '
ly to have tho weak spot pass over tho pullay
and bear the wolght ot tho platform. Whenr
Contractor Mulr's attontlon was called to tlibft
discovery he looked at the ropo carefully and ! ' J,
then deolarod that undoubtedly some ono haa: j
out It wilfully. He will moasuro tho rooo to-I i
day tolea.-n. if possible, whon the doed wa!
dono. Contractor Mulr can't Imagine who the, i
miscreant oould be. He was soon at hta home, i
007 Amsterdam avenuo. last night and (aloj.
that lie had had no labor troubles of any kind.,
Ho 1b muoh disturbed by what ho forms a doj
llberato attempt to murder his mon. and saye,
that he will do all ho can to ferret out thfli
mystery. i
