FIRST CLAUSE ADOPTED OF THE COERCION BILL IN HOUSE OF COMMONS. THE llarcnurt'M Aiiiumlmunt Defeated The (jMVel mnenl will Knt Kmluro Olntruo tlon Notice Given of 80 Ainonil meiitn to the Second VIhuho. London, Mny 17, The debute on tho coercion bill wns resumed this evening. On Sir William Vernon Hurcourt's n't eudj ment he said If the government were con tent to direct inquiries authorized under the bill to such olfences as murder, arson, "moonlighting" nnd mutilation of cattle the bill might pass ; the bill would then deal with actual crimes nnd would not bo u measure creating offerxss. If there was a land trades union in Ire land would the bill suppress It ? If so, 011 what ground did the government distin guish between an Irish trades union nnd an English trades union f Halfour held that tho offence embraced in tho measure had beeu sufllclently de fined and that tlie amendment if adopted would simply render the bill futile, leav ing out t.early all the agrarian offences. He said comparison of trades union witli Irish conspiracy to pay no rent was obvi ously absurd. As to tlie suggestion that the bill would be allowed to progress if the government conceded tho amendment, he would distinctly intimate that the gov ernment would not yield to obstruction In nnv thing. Dillon contended that unless the amend- ment was accepted tho government would be able to imprison everybody who might he politically obnoxious. The landlords who had not received their lents might swear out an information of conspiracy, causing all sorts of persons to be brought up for bogus inquiry. If they refused to answer the questions such persons might he Imprisoned as long as the government chose. Gladstone regretted the government failed to recogulze thejjustice of granting the Irish tenant the same protection nllorded the English workinnn. As to boycotting, the government must explain what was meant by that term. Was In timidation included or only boycotting leading to exclusive dealing ? When Bal four said that the government refused to yield to obstruction the opposition's re sponse was the right to refuse to yield to tyranny. Sir R. E. Webster, the attorney-general, said that tlie bill solely aimed at dealing with criminal conspiracy. It was impos sible to give an exact definition of boycot ting which Gladstone demanded. It would surpass the wit of man to dellne what the development of boycotting might he, but they knew of the olfence and there was no danger Injustice would be done iu sur uressing it. Vice was at the root ot all boycotting coiftbi nations. Once an in quiry was begun into anyone form of boy cotting there was no logical halting. The inquiry must be pursued until nil forms of the evil had been Investigated. The amendment was negatived 243 to I si). The first clause of tne bill was adopted 171 to 70 and notice was given of SO amend meats to the second clause.

AN UNNATUKAL CKIMK. Windsor I'eoplo Kxiited Over tlio lllicov ery ot a ltoy's Hotly In a Tool of Water. Windsoi:, May 18. Early this morning a farmer living about half a mile nortli of this place found the body of a child apparently about three weeks old iu a pool of water a bhort distance from the railroad track on the Evart's farm. When this discovery was reported the porter of tlie Windsor hotel remembered that a few minutes utter the arrival of the S.i. train from the south the previous evening, a young woman was noticed on the depot platform carrying a young child who cried loud and frequently. About an hour afterward the young woman went to the hotel where she paid iu advance for her lodgings and asketl to be called in time to take the 3:50 a. m. train south. The fact that she did not have the child withheres caped attention at that time aud the clerk arranged with a conductor who was also Intending to take the early train to call the young womau. Nothing further wns thought about her until the discovery of the baby's remains wns announced, when the circumstances of last evening ut once recurred to the hotel employes. It wns lenrutd that she hud purchased a ticket for New York and i telegram sent there to intercept her resulted In her ar rest. It has been learned that she worked lu this town through the winter and left In .March, going to Charleston, N. IL, where her child was born nbout three weeks ngo. She left Charleston last even ing coming to Windsor as above stated. Insanity is thought to be the cause of tho deed. She gave her name as Nellie Cor rigan. The new secretary of the National Trot ting association, Mr. Marlon M. Morse of Pawpaw, III., Is a well-known banker, and has been a member of the board of review for about eight years.
