Special to Tin*. Morning Cam.
I. on HON", Aug. 11.— In the Commons to
day J. XV. Lowther, Parliamentary Secre
tary of the Foreign Office, said the Govern
ment had made no representations or remon
strances to the United States Government

Secretary of the Treasury, 6tat< d that no
loan had yet been advanced to British
Columbia. The object of the proposed loan

tifications and other defenses to be con
structed in Victoria, 15. C.
The debate on the ad rress In reply to the
Queen's speech was resumed, Joseph Cham
berlain, the leader of the Liberal Unionists,
taking the floor. He agreed that the issue
between the Unionists and the Home
rulers had been decided for a time by the
country, but when Gladstone went on to
say that It was irrelevant what would fol
low, he must protect. The present situa
tion was unparalleled in English political
history. Hitherto a vote of want of confi
dence in the Government implied confidence
In tbe party replacing them. The present
opposition if intact could put the Govern
ment ln a minority id ML hut the
pew Government might find Itself
ln a minority of 100 at almost the first
breath of Its exigence. What was the
foreign policy of the incoming Govern
ment? Not alone on foreign but also on
many home Questions the Liberal sections
had maintained a conspiracy of silence, and
he did not much wonder at it. For 1: Glad
stone tried to satisfy the different sections
of the party the assurances given one sec
tion might displease another ami raleht be
fatal to the Government. Chamberlain
went on to analyze the component parts of
the opposition and criticized scathingly their
taciturnity.
Sir Henry James said there was no prece
dent sustaining the incoming Government
in withholding information as to the policy
they intended to pursue.
Gladstone, Interrupting, said, "There Is a
precedent. In the course pursued by the
Government which assumed power in 1841."
Sir Henry, continuing, said there hnd
been a full debate on Lord Melbourne's
future policy and criticized Gladstone's re
fusal to disclose his plans.
Mr. Chaplin, the president of the Board
of Agriculture, arose to speak, but was
drowned out by cries of 'Division
The i*peaker finally secured order and
Chaplin continued amid freqaent interrup
tions until (ie said the Bouse of Lords would
survive the attacks of the Money crew,
when th* greatest uproar ensued.
Chaplin complained that such reception
bad never been accorded to a responsible
Minister.
The Speaker then put the Question on
Asquith's motion ana was answered with a
thundering volume of ayes and noes from
the respective sides. The House divided at
midnight.
When Gladstone returned from the lobby
the whole Liberal party arose and cheered
bim.
Tellers appeared at 12:25 o'clock with a
paper containing the numbers showing the
results of the division and banded the paper
to Arnold Moriey,the_j.ioeral whip. This was
the signal for a volley of Liberal cheers and
Irish shouts of "Mitchells-own!" "Down
with Bolfourism!"
When the confusion bad subsided and
Iforley announced the result— for the
motion 350, again. t 310— there was a fresh
display of enthusiasm. The noise having
subsided, Balfour and the whole body of
Conservatives arose and amid prolonged
acclaims Balfour moved that the House ad
journ until Thursday next. Tbe motion
was agreed to.
The Cabinet has been summoned to meet
at noon to-morrow (Friday) and Lord Sails

Schur, a bright-eyed, golden-haired girl, 11*
years old, which may be cleared up to.
morrow by Superintendenl Jenkins of the
Gerry Society In whose care the girl was
placed to-day.
Late on Wednesday night a middle-aged
well-dressed man accompanied by a girl of
11 arrived at the Hoffman House and
rogistered as A. Nixon and Miss Elsie
Schur of San Francisco. They «ere as
signed adjoining rooms. This morning
Nixon and bis charge appeared in the cor
ridors of the hotel. He appeared very affec
tionate, but the girl was ill at ease. He left
her in the corridor, and took a car down
town, telling her he would be back again.
Miss Frances Wilson and Miss Porter,
who attend the flower stand in the Hoffmen
House, noticed the girl in tears, and sus
pecting that something was wroug, they
persuaded her to tell her story. She said her
name was Elsie Schur, and that she lived
with mother. Mrs. Ornestina Shur, in Sau
Francisco. Together with her parents and
her brother and sister they lived in this
city with a lady In Eighty-sixth street, be
tween Avenue A and Avenue B, about a
year ago.
Ten months ago her mother went to San
Francisco, taking Elsie with. her. She re
ceived word from her husband that her boy,
who never before had been separated from
his sister, was so homesick anil pin
ing for his sister that in order to
save bis life she must send Elsie
to New York and he would meet her.
Mrs. Schur concluded to send the girl to her
father, and giving her letters to the agent
of the Union Pacific Kailroad.with a request
to forward her to her destination, the Tittle
waif started alone on her journey across
the continent.
On the way she met Nixon, who, learning
her story, told her that he would assist her
in finding her father. He treated her kindly
on the way and when she arrived in the
city and could not find her father be took
her to the Hoffman House.
Shortly after this Nixon returned, and on
being questioned about the child said be
knew nothing of her except that
lie met her as she boarded a train
at San Francisco, and taking an
Interest in her had offered his service-**.
Mi-,- Wilson states that he contradicted
himself by afterward saying that he had
met the girl on her arrival here, and seeing
that she was friendless and alone had be
friended her.
Beat Porter Toolps of the Hoffman
House informed the officers of the Gerry
Society this afternoon and Agent Schuttas
came and took Elsie to the society head
quarters. Nix* will not tv all probability
be easily found. He sauntered around the
hotel until dark and then disappeared after
paying his bill. '■- ■- ■■li-.^r

Washington. Aug. 11.— Good Govern;

in Its issue of August 15 a proclamation by
the United States Civil Service Commis
sioners stating that the commission feels
that it is its duty to call attention to the

to Inform those In the Government service
not to infringe upon Its rights; that politi

of whoever may violate it The commis

How Blair Had It even ***(*.
In diplomatic circles tbe conversation
still turns upon the report that Chinese
Minister Tsui Kwo Yin will be succeeded
in October by Mr. Mini, who wns formerly
secretary of the legation at Washington.
At tho Chinese legation denial is made of
the story to the effect that the Minister will
be relieved because ot his alleged implica
tion in Count Mitkiewiez's international
banking schemes. It is said that the for
mer secretary, Shui, who was called from
his post here to occupy an important posi
tion in the Chinese Home Government,
knew of certain transactions of Count Mit
kiewicz and Chinese Minister Tsui, and
there was a coolness between these two
Chinese officials. Thus it is believed that
Shui has been instrumental in securing
Minister Tsui'* dismissal. The present
Minister is credited with having poisoned
the Emperor's mind against ex-Senator
Blair, who was appointed Minister to China,
but rejected by the Chinese empire. Ills
now said that Senator Blair and his friends
are reaping their revenge on Minister Tsui
by having Mr. Shu; expose the laUer's deal

King, the .vemphls murderer, was brought
to this city at an early hour this morning,

commutation of the death sentence to im
prisonment for life by the Governor, lynch
ing being feared. Governor Buchanan to
day gave as reasons for the commutation
that it was his belief that King should have

pressed an opinion about tbe case. The
jury also should uot have left the State
during the trial.

grily criticised by the press and people, the
Governor said: "I am Governor of Ten
nessee, ami I thought I was doing right. 1
am responsible to my God for the action 1
took." The Governor has a large bundle of
letters and petitions from prominent citizens
and public^ men asking hun to pursue the
course he has taken.

-•-I-THEI. PARTICULARS.
A Correspondent at __f ._■__*_-_« Tells the
Story From m Kill V. . nt Stand point.
I'lYKi'sii*.:, Aug. 11.— This morning about
C o'clock another bloody tragedy took place
in the Temescal Can yon, about 14 miles from
S nth Riverside, which resulted in the death
of Ira Wall and the serious wounding of
Wall's mother by Elmer Whiten. Wall
was killed Instantly, the body being riddled
with buckshot, and, as near as can be
learned, several shots struck Mrs. Wall,
who happened to be in range when the
shooting took place.
The shooting is the outcome of an old
feud, which has existed between the Wall
and Walters families lor some lime past.
The origin of the feud was a dispute over
the ownership of water rights, the latter
being claimed by both parties.
Some weeks ago there was trouble be
tween the parties over water business at
the same place where to-day*, shooting took
piece, at which time a brother of Walters
was accidentally killed while li the act of
disarming one of the Wall girl-, who bad
been possessed of a shotgun for some days
past.
alter*", it seems, bad been guarding his
ditch tram intrusion, aud to-day Wall came
there and attempted to divert the water into
another ditch. Walters told him to desist.
This Wail refused to do, and words fol
lowed.
Just what transpired afterward It Is hard
to learn, but the story told by Walters Is
that Wall advanced upon him with an up
lifted shovel and not heeding the warning of
Walters to keep away, whereupon the latter
shot and killed him.
Another story of the shooting is to lhe
effect that Walters was lying in wait for the
Walls and when the latter drove up he
opened fire on them.
The Sheriff and Coroner have gone to the
scene of the shooting arid at a late hour had
not returned, so no particulars except those
obtained at the inquest are obtainable. Wal
ters immediately alter the sheeting started
for South Riverside, where he gave himself
up to the c instable. Wall, the murdered
man, is well known in thtse sections and
bis f* Iks, who live at Klslnore, are leading
citizens of that place. Mrs. Wall is severely
wounded, but the latest advices say not
seriously.
Walters, while awaiting the arrival of the
Sheriff in South Riverside, told the follow.
ing story of lhe affair: "I was In the can
you working on a ditch over which the
trouble originated, when young Wall came
up with a shovel and began turning the
water off into another ditch. 1 told him to
let It rdoue, whereupon Wall started for me,
rith shovel in hand, with malicious Intent,
warned hlui off repeatedly, and finally I
lhat Wall." '
Walters claims that he was on his way to
surrender when overtaken.
The Coroner's Jury will not be ready to
report a verdict until to-day. as the scene
of the murder is off the railway and not
easy of access.

FOUND GUILTY.
Eleven Idaho Rioters Sentenced at Boise
City Yesterday.
Boise, Idaho. Aug. 11.— United States
District Judge Beatty this afternoon held
that eleven of the Cttur d'Alene rioters
were guilty of contempt of court ln viola
ting the injunction served upon them re
straining them from interfering with the
mine-owners in the operation of their
mines.
Judge Beatty sentenced the prisoners to
terras ranging from four to eight months.
Ten of the men who have been on trial
bave been discharged.
The men held and their terms of im
prisonment are as follow-: Thomas E.ton,
John Fitzgerald, D.in Harrington, Hugh
McGee, John Nicholson, Qaa l'.iterson and
Thomas Whalen, each six months; R. Rob
inson four mouths and Joseph Puynton
eight month-..
Thomas Doyle was held, but his sentence
was not passed as he was absent because of
sickness. Thomas O'Brien, president of
-liners' Union, wns held, but sentence wes
deferred pending a hearing of Bunker Hill
and Sullivan miners. It is understood that
an appeal will be taken and that an applica
tion for a writ of habeas corpus will Im
mediately be male to Justice Field.
Judge Beatty, in rendering his decision,
passed upou --ever*.! Interesting points. He
said that the question of diverse citizenship
could have been raised in the original pro
ceedings. It bad not been so raised, and
the restraining order bad been Issued with
no such showing before the comt, and that
the order partook of the nature of acrimlnal
statute, violations o. which are tried by the
Federal courts, without regard to the citi
zenship of the parties.
On the question of service the court said
that it was not essential that each party
should be served. It was only necessary
that tliey should know that an injunction
had b> en issued. Neither was it necessary
that the parties should bave been named iv
the restraining order, that ord»r having
been issued against the Miner.,' Uni.u, their
aiders and abettors.
Judge Realty slated that labor organiza
tions were entirely lawful In the abstract,
but that the lawful character of a Particular
organization must be* measured by its acts,
and not by Its by-laws and constitution. The
acts ot the Cu'itr d'Alene .Miners' Union
showed that they were of an unlawful
character, and strict Interpretation of law
would render each member liable for the
acts of the organization and, said the
court, there is no doubt that under this well
d- lined principle of law I could hold all the
defendants who are members of the union.
I will not, however, apply that rule, but
will endeavor to determine the connection
of each of these respondents with the oc
currences at the Frisco and Gem mills on
July 11. The court then proceeded to ana
1-./. testimony as to the participation of
each of the defendants In those occurrences,
with the result as given.
