ImlulKO In k Warm Debate — Ct*|*t. Kr*
enive‘ Becard Overhauled.
London, March 22.—1 n the house of
common* when the vote on the Salary of
the chief secretary for Ireland. (Balfour' ,
was reached, Mr. John Morley made .a
speech in which he severely criticised
the government's action in carrying on
furtive r a clandestine lvattle Ivehind their
opponents back. Mr. diaries Brndlaugh
(Liberal) move a reduction of the salary
by £SO >. The motion was lejected, 272
to 211.
During the debate Mr. Morley. pro
duced details from the proceedings of
the trial with a view to uisprovipg the
government's professions of neutrality
Itetween 'The Times and the accused. I
predicted that a vote'of censure was-not
far distant. m tv
Mr. Balfour deflated that the rhsTO*
that the government was connected with
The Times case either through Houston
or Pigott was a scandalous liliel.
Mr. Bradhiugli asserted so Tar from lx>-
ing Impartial, the government had with
held from the accused matters which
were material to their defense.
The debate was continued amid great
disorder. Messrs. Healy, O'Conyor, Bal
four and Harcourt delivering jnore or
Jr-sa, heated speeches. Mr. Balfour
•'■ AiUii‘i*d the Parnellites with letting
*it • scape after his confession. Mr.
O’Conner was railed to order by the
speaker /or charging that Lord Salisbury
ami Mr. Balfour wery trying to galvan
ize the forgeries into renewed life. Mr.
O'Connor also alleged that The Times
and the government were equally guilty
of permitting Pigott to escape.
Interest just now centers in the ques
tions asked in the house of commons of
the government regarding the suspension
of Capt. Scagrnve, of Mitcholstown fame.
It seems that this valiant slaughterer of
defenseless js-asAnts was jatehiered from
the Britbh army at of Good
Hope in 1855, the FnrttetlfiTS.iiftve only
recently
have fon eTPfffe t t<TfgWP^in
quiries into the eamBTSPH record, with
the result of establishing the truth b( the
charge against him. This is n great H6T
nellito hit and they score on Mr. Bnl
* four. It wifi lo rather embarrassing for
the government to explain the appoint
ment of Seagrave as an officer of the
Irish constabulary with such a record.
It is with great difficulty that questions
are formulated so as to draw damaging
admissions from the government, as the
ministers, who?e wits have been sharp
ened fey frequent encounter, are ready to
lay hold on the slightest technical flaw
- and use it to their advantage.
ttarnuni’n Hotel to Clow. - J
v B.tLTiMtutK, Man'll 22. —Ra wilin'*
hotel, fronting Monument square, known
totrnvelcnftm over the world, will bo
closed on April 4 next. There was n
time when the equal of Bamum’s was
hard to find in this country. It lias en
tertained in days long past notables from
all jwirts of the globe. But unlike the .
treasured, old time antique furniture,
there is no craze for antiquated hotels
and Barnum’s, with all its hallowed
memories, is no execution to the rule. I
It stands upon one of tlie best hotel-sites j
in this city hut the building is old and
needs remodelling and renovation. There
have l*een negotiations progressing for
the sale of the property for some time,
but to what use it will be put in
future is not known. The hotel was es
tablished in 1820 by David Bamiun and
some of his grand' children are among
its present owners.
Brading Railroad FI roman.
HEADING, Pa., March 23. —Hereafter |
tlie firemen on the Philadelphia nnd j
Heading railroad will not lo allowed to t
run engines, nnd besides this restriction
they will hare to undergo an examina
tion after having fired eighteen months. I
If successful, the ilreman will receive a
certificate and if not. he must fire eight
een months more before he can undergo
auother examination. The railroad em
ployes have been astounded by the new
order. It was extended to all the
branch lines of the Philadelphia and
Rending railroad and to the yard masters
in this city. The supivosition is that the !
recent accident on tne Northern Penn
road (an explosion of n locomotive boiler
while a fireman had charge) is the in tin
reason for the new order having been is- j
sat'd. Firemen will le promoted ac
cording to tlie date of their certificates, 1

, . Washington, March 22. —Since the 4tli
“of March the president’s mail has been
very heavy, averaging from 600 to 700
letters and on some days running as high
as a thousand letters. President Cleve

Many of the communications sent to
President Harrison are intended for other
persons. Several of whom arc utterly
- unknown to him; the corresjiondents
probably thinking that letters addressed
to the care of the president will undoubt
, edly reach their destination.
