GLADSTONE ROUSED. Be Scorches the Conservative Government. "SIGNS OF COMING DOOM." A Trenchant Arraignment of Balfour's Methods. THE IRRESISTIBLE RESULT. Plgffott Dies, ''As the Fool Dieth," By His Own Hand in the Capital of Spain. 1 Associated Press jji-, patches to the Hkbald. I London, March I.—ln the Commons this afternoon, Home Secretary Mathews, in reply to a question, said that Consta ble Pre3ton had twice visited a prisoner named Tracy, at the instance of Soames, solicitor for the Times. Sir William Vernon Harcourt asked whether it was in accordance with prison rules that Soames should send an agent to a prisoner. Matthews replied that Tracy was entitled to receive a visit of once a week. Harcourt: "Are friends' visits con strued to mean visits from an Irish Con stable acting under orders from the Times?" (Opposition cheers.) Matthews: "An Irish Constable lias the right to visit any prisoner." W. H. Smith denied that the govern ment had placed the Irish constabulary at the disposal of the Times. Brunner (Liberal) asked Smith whether the libelous publication en titled "Parnellism and Crime" was not still exposed for sale on his (Smith's) stalls. This question was followed by a great uproar. When order had been re stored Smith said: "I appeal to you, Mr. Speaker; I appeal to the members, whatever their difference of opinion may be, whether such questions ought to be addressed to me." (Cheers.) Gladstone then resumed the debate on the address in reply to the Queen's speech. He held that there were three main issues raised in the amendment under discussion. The House was called upon entirely to disclaim the present ad ministration of the Irish government. It was asserted that to this system was due the aversion of the people to Great Britain, and, finally, the House was asked to adopt measures of conciliation. They owed an apology to the people of Ireland for allowing tbe great question of the domestic government of their coun try to remain unintroduced in the pres ent Parliament. Chamberlain told them that the measure of local govern ment for Ireland must be in definitely postponed. That meant that, in some future Parliament, possibly, gentlemen c lling themselves Liberal- Unionists, might incline to look up an Irish government. It was said that the present government of Ireland had been remarkably successful but for the diffi culties placed in the way of it in connec tion with the land question. Who placed them there? Why, Chamberlain, and Hartington, and their friends. They created the land difficulty, and when the effects of the prevailing distress became patent, they obstinately refused to deal with them. The refusal was followed by the Plan of Campaign. There were many cases in which law-makers were more responsible than law-breakers, and this was one of them. [Cheers.] The Govern- merit continued to declare their anxiety to settle the land question; yet, with a large majority behind them, Chamber lain appealed to him to propound a scheme for the settlement of the ques tion. The responsibility for tbe delay in coming to a settlement must rest upon the majority in power. [Cries of "Hear," "Hear."] The refusal to produce the measure would tend still further to ex pose the ut er hollowness of Conserva tive assurances in regard to Ireland and the real determination of the majority to do nothing to ameliorate the condition of the Irish people. [Cheers.] Gladstone proceeded to show from the results of bye-elections that the opinion of the country was turning to Home Rule. He next contested the assertion that the improving condition-of Ireland was due to the administration of the Government, and expressing surprise that the increase in agricultural values was put to the credit of the Government. Referring to the Parnellite pris oners, he denounced the degrading hardships and personal indignities tbey suffered. He denied that the treat ment of political prisoners, under the Liberal Government, was similar. No other Government, Liberal or Conserva tive, had given imprisoned political men such usage. [Cheers]. Balfour's plea that the treatment of prisoners could not be altered without alteration of rules be yond his power was ludicrous. The plain truth was that the present treat ment of the prisoners was a part of the system of extreme repression. Gladstone proceeded to give a glowing account of the progress of Ireland nnder Drummond, from 1835 to 1840, contrast ing it with the regime of Balfour. He declared that the breach between the people and the Government was now widening, and the confidence of the peo ple in the law and the administrators of tbe law was impaired and almost gone. [Cheers]. In conclusion, Gladstone said: "To continue the state ot things under which so many representatives of this House are placed under the ban of proscription, is impossible. You may deprive of its grace and freedom the act yon are asked to do, but avert it you cannot. [Prolonged cheers.] To prevent tbe consummation of it is utterly beyond your power. It seems to approach at an accelerated rate, but, come slowly or quickly, it is surely coming, and many of you who have opposed it must al ready see, in the handwriting on the wall, signs of your coming doom." (Cheers.) Goshen denied that the Government desired to delay the extension of local government in Ireland. What right, he asked, had Gladstone to presume it would not be dealt with in the present Parliament? When the time was oppor tune, the Government would be ready to grapple with the difficulties. He was hopeful of better success than that which attended Gladstone's proposals. Parnell, upon rising to speak, was greeted with enthusiastic cheers. All the members of the opposition, including Gladstone, rising in their places and waving their hats. Mr. Parnell s -.'d be desired to offer a few words of sympathy to his colleagues and friends. London, March 1. —The Tehgraphetye: "This speech of Gladstone's is historicul. He was seen on tbe war-path at his bi st. His attack on the Liberal Unionists was THE LOS ANGELAS DAILY HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, M.iUOH 2, 1889. made with the tremendous force of in vective aud sarcasm of the great master. Daring his speech Joseph Ohamb»rlain • uiled and glanced curiously at Gladstone, fhe peroration was spoken in the eh ter of a prophet telling of the wrath_ to come, with resonant voice and flashing eyes, and the aged stateman seemed like another Isaiah crying "Woe to the high places of Jerusalem." His last words were '"Signs of the coming doom." He finished his speech amidst a tempest of cheers. Til I LAST OP 1'11.1.n i I . Be mows His (trains Out Wlieii Arrested In Madrid. London, March I.—The description of the man who c< mmitted suicide in Ma drid, tallies with that of the man who called at the Hotel dcs Deux Mondes ia Paris after Piggott's flight. The suicide is undoubtedly Piggott. He doubtless assumed the name of Ronald Ponsonby because tbe initials corresponded with those of his I aggage. London, March I—A dispatch from Madrid to the Timet says: The arrest of the suicide was made in consequence of a telegram from the British Foreign office. "Ponsonby" arrived from Paris Tues day morning. His only baggage was a small baud-bag. Soon after his arrival he sent a telegraphic dispatch to London. The Standard says that it is able to con firm the Btaiement that the suicide was Piggott. When arrested he took the situ ation coolly and thenjthrew the officers oil'the scent. With the excuse that he wished to get his overcoat, he retired to an alcove and there shot himself. He died instantly. His head was terribly disfigured.

Sacramento, March I—The Senate State Prison Committee and the Assem bly Committee on Ways and Means met in joint session this evening to continue the investigation of the State Piison affairs. After listening to the testimony of several witnesses, the committee passed a resolution declaring it the sense of the committee tbat the letter in question was not written by John McComb, Jr. General Mc- Comb testified tbat when he wrote to Chambers that expenses must be reduced and that the expendi tures already equalled the outlay for the jute mill for a year, he had exaggerated to make his language impressive on his subordinate. He anologized to the com mittee and to Mr. Hendricks for having referred to the latter in one letter as "Old Bill Hendricks." The State I.•ague. San Fjrancisco, March I.—The Cali fornia Baseball League held a meeting in Oakland this evening. The schedule was amended, and its final adop tion postponed until to-morrow.

Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria; MR. EGAN EXPLAINS. He Gives the Lie Direct to One Dr. McCahey. , SOME SURPRISES ARE IN STORE The Probable Effect of the Pigeott Episode on the English Political Issues. Chicago, March I.—Mr. Patrick Egan, who was in this city to-day, on his way to Washington, had his atten tion called lo a published statement of Dr. McCahey, of Philadelphia, impeach ing the accuracy of the London cable gram to the Associated Press on tho day day of the exposure of Piggott's falsity. The statement of McCahey was to the effect that Eg*n and Sullivan did |not make tbe exposure, and that Father Dorney did not carry papers to London, but that they were taken over by a Mr. Robertson. Mr. Egan declared the McCahey statement altogether wrong, and corroborated the story given in the Associated Press cablegram of February i r )th. Mr. Egan gave the reporter some interesting gossip on the character of Piggott and his methods of raising money, etc. When inked if he believed that Piggott originated the ccbeme or was hired to do it, Mr. Egan said: "I be lieve that he concocted the whole plot alone; but I also believe that he sold the Times people the goods they wanted to buy. The Times did not expect to get into the sort of hearing which is now on. The supposition was tbat Parnell would bring a libel suit in the ordinary way. Then he would have had to go on the stand in the ordinary way, and swear he never wrote the let ters published. The Times would have been enabled to put expert after expert on the stand to swear that the writing was Parnell's. In view of this, an Eng lish jury would never have taken Par nell's word, and would have given a ver dict against him." "What will be tbe probable course of tbe trial now?" "I don't know; but Ido know that if the Times chooses to continue the fight we have two or three more surprises in store. Of their character I am not now at liberty to speak." Mr. Kgan thinks that the effect of the collapse on English politics will be tre mendous, and that if an appeal is taken to the country within the next six months, Gladstone would go in over whelmingly. Ha does not know whether or not an attempt will be made to force an appeal to the country, but. under stands that Gladstone favorß waiting, as he believes the cause is steadily gaining. The Naturalization Law. Washington, March 1. —Representa- tive Seney, on behalf of himself, and Collins (Mass.) and Buckalew, to-day submitted, from the Committee on Ju diciary, a minority report on the natural izaiian bill introduced last month by Oates. The report cites the provisions of the present laws on the subject, and says tbat there is no necessity for mak ing changes. The report proceeds to discuss the bill, and says that obviously its intent is to discourage the immigra tion of aliens J nto this country, and the minority thinks there can be no doubt if ttie bill be enacted into law, that it will operate in many cases as a denial of citi zenship to aliens. An Official torsrer. New You. March 1. —Robert Sigel, son and confidential clerk of General Franz Sigel, of tbe Pension oifico in this city, was arrested to-day by two special pension examiners from Washington, on three charges of forgery iv connec tion with pensions. lie was Held by the United States Commissioner in default of $20,000 bail for examination.

Young Sigel confeFPed that he has also takon money from claimants on about 150 cases for his services in making out checks, all iv direct violation of the law. Wheal Famine lv Dakota. Aiierdken, Dak., March 1. —The Ter ritorial Statistician says there is not now enough wheat in Dakota for seed and bread. There is now but about 8,000,000 bushels of wheat in the territory in the farmers' hands and in the elevators, and it will require at least 11,000,000 bushels to seed and bread the Territory. This will make a shortage of 3,030,000 in round numbers of the neces sary amount to tide over the farmers un til the new crop. A Uniform Bankruptcy Law. St. Louis, March I.—The National Bankruptcy Law Convention concluded its labors to-day. Resolutions were adopted declaring in favor of a uniform system of bankruptcy laws throughout the United Statas, favoring the Lowell bill as last passed by the Senate, as being the embodiment of the views of the Con vention, and urging upon Congress that it be taken as the basis of the desired legislation. The Patriotic Lenijue Raided. Paris, March I. —The police to-day searched the offices of tho Patriotic League, forcing open all the desks.

Washington, March 1. — General George ft. Williams, of Indiana, has been decorated by the Emperor of Japan with the Order of the Rising Sun. Gen eral Williams was, at one time, Minister to Japan, and later organized a financial system for that country. The Effect of Fine Hotel Accommo dations. The Rev. Henry M. Field has lately been down to Florida and he writes back to his paper his impressions of that State. His last trip in search of health and rec reation was to the Mediterranean Coast of Africa, Gibralter and the Riviera. He wrote for the maiiizines delightful notes of his travels. His last experience seems to have pleased him mightily, and the principal factor in his pleasant impres sions appears to be the perfection of the Hotel Ponce de Leon, at St. Augustine, which was built by Henry M. Flagler, of New Yerk, at enormous outlay. Writing to the New York Evangelist, Mr. Field says of this splendid hotel: Connoiseurs of fine architecture are not apt to look for models in hotels, but in churches and cathedrals; in palaces and stately mansions. The city of New York abounds in hotels, but it has not one that is worth looking at for its archi tecture. The Windsor, if it stood out in the country, beside a stream of water, would be taken for a paper mill or a cot- i ton factory. Or it might be some public ' institution, whose needs required that which was useful rather than orna- j mental, as its stories are all just alike, > with just so many windows, of just the ' same size, as if they opened into the small rooms intended for the wards [ of an asylum. There is some ex- \ cuse for this in a crowded city, « where the largest buildings must be put on a line with the street, to utilize every foot of space, for there is not room i to have a great central court. This must be reserved for a situation less crowded, ' where there is more elbow-room. It is also more suited to a climate warmer than that of the North —conditions which seem to meet in this old Spanish town of St. Augustine. And so it came to pass, quite naturally, that a gentleman of New York, who had been here often enough lo appreciate the place, and see its possi bilities, should have a mind to build a hotel after his own fancy, that should meet all requirements, and be a welcome retreat for those who, fleeing from the j severe winters of the North, should seek a place of health and of rest. He saw that the Spanish style of architecture was best adapted ' to a warm climate; and having the good i fortune to engage an architect who en- '1 tered with spirit into the design, dis patched him to Spain, to study the best specimens of Spanish architecture in Toledo, Cordova, Seville and Granada. The result has been a structure quite unique in this country, and the like of which I have not seen anywhere. Having ample space, there was no need to crowd anything, so that the building, instead of being oue huge mass, could be thrown into pavilions, grouped rcund a great court, with its fountains aud flowers; with projecting balconies (which, if not crowded with Spanish senoritas, are none the less charming with American ladies); and belfry-like towers, rising at the angles, with open arches, from which one can overlook ths town and look far out to sea, and which, hung at night with many colored lights, create a fairy-like scene. Such is the general plan. But, of course, in a building of such extent, there is no end of details, which have to be worked out with tho utmost care. These f could not help observing as I walked about tbe beveral parts of the great whole. Ido not profess to know much about architecture, but, like a good many others, I know just enough to find fault. Without technical knowledge, I have a sort of instinct of proportion and of harmony, which detects what is not in accord with them, even when it may be difficult to point out just whsre the fault lies. If Igo into anew church, and it be too long for its width, or the ceiling be too high or too low, I "feel it in my bones." So, in the decoration of a room, or the furnishing of it, if there be a want of har mony of color, my jlesh begins to creep before I can tell precisely what is the matter. In this way I have gone about the Ponce de Leon, not with a measuring line in my hand, but trusting solely to mv eye, and I have not been able to detect a single fault. "The height and the length and the breadth" of it are not "equal," but they are in perfect propor tion. As an editor, true to his calling, I - nave been a little disappointed that I could not find something to criticise; but I give it up. Nor have I found any glar ing color which offends my taste. On tbe walls and ceilings, and even iv the furnishing, in carpets and curtains and upholstery, everything is subdued to that soft and quiet tone which is most pleasing and grateful to the eye. This hotel, and very naturally, capti vated Mr. Field. The property valua tions of tho county of Los Angeles exceed those of the whole State of Florida. Our climate is incomparably bettor than the climate of that State. But we have no such a hotel as the Ponce de Leon. Why not? We had better pull ourselves to gether and get one if we desire to get our share of tourist and invalid travel. Undelivered Telcirranis.
