Re- EW6 PEOM THE EUROPEAN CAPITALS tCOPTRIcnT. 1S92. BT X. T. ASSOCULTBD WUSSO LojfDOs, April 1. The meager official report given to the press after yesterday's private caucus of the Unionists of TJlster ?ave no idea of the warlike tone of the speakers at that meeting. Knowing that their days are numbered as belonging to Government majority, and seeing that the Irish Parliament is the dominant fact of the near future, these advocates of constitu tional order under the Tory regime met to declare civil war in the event of a Liberal majority altering the Constitution. The nar drum throbbing throughout the speeches was, however, only faintly heard an the resolutions adopted. The meeting was held at Dawnshine House, the residence of Lord Arthur Hill, Comptroller of the Queen's Household. All the Ulster members were present except three. Some ncry spirits urged a plain declaration of an immediate resort to arms when Ulster is placed under the Dublin Parliament. But these rough menaces were -ften used publicly by Colonel Suanderson snd others during the home rule crisis of 1SG, and the leaders of the group now find it prudent to veil their threats in more moderate language. Gladstonlans Consider It Bluster. The Liberal papers treat the proceedings ss buncombe and the prediction of rebel lion as mere vaporing. Interviews with sev eral Ulster delegates in lobby gave the impression of an intense hostility to home rule, ever, keener than at the time when the mocment was organized. Money was partly subscribed to arm 300,000 men, and Colonel Saunderson boasted that he would respond to the call of a revolt. As shrewd an observer as Lord Randolph Churchill still professes to believe that Ulster will fistht, but no fear of this nature in the slightest deters or altera thi Liberal policy. In the meantime the Olsterite's plan of campaign will be a vigorous agitation in Ireland and Great Britain, working up the constituencies to believe in their menaces. An abundance of monev enables the Chief Committee, composed of Colonel Saunder tm, Sir H. T. HarlandandT. "W.

Although National Irish members con sider the matter only a subject for derision, Mr. Sexton to-night called Mr. Balfour's attention to the fact that a Crown Minister, the Comptroller of the Queen's Household, roposed a resolution inciting a section of the Irish to disorder. Mr. Balfour declin ing to commit himself by any statement in reply, Mr. Sexton intimated that he would recnr to the subject. Mr. Balfour's reticent responses in re gard to he date of the dissolution of Farlia i ient,have involved several important ques tions. The Liberals wero anxious to settle whether the election should take place on The voter's register of 1891 or that ot 1892. The register is generally completed in Au gust and comes into force January 1. jUccent registers showing a growth ot the Liberal vote Mr. Gladstone claimed that if dissolution occurred in the autumn, a special bill ought to be introduced, bringing I the new register into operation then. He I declared that he did not remember a disso- I lution occurring in the latter months of the year upon an old register. Cain; for the l'alaco Hat-Catcher. Mr. Balfour fenced the demand. Unable to relute Mr. Gladstone, he simply asserted that the Crown had full discretion to deal with !ie matter. His response put the op position in a bad temper, and thev tilted aiainst every vote ot supply, especially at tacking the estimates for the royal palaces. Mr. Morton sarcastically protested against the vote lor the Buckingham Palace rat catcher. Mr. Laboucherc advised that the rat-catcher be .brought to Parliament, where he could catch something, and he wanted Kensington Palace to be used as an art gallery and Hampton Court as a public reserve. Pat O'Brien urged that Kcw palace be turned into a house for old soldiers or for the London poor. Mr. Storey held that it was uncom monly shabby for royal personages to take palaces rent free, and also to Eponge the public to keep them in repair. There was a series of similar short, sharp, democratic utterances, indicating bad times for royal ties in the coming radical Parliamont. The Government members maintained discreet silence, cairying the votes with the usual majorities. Proposing to Abolish Xong Speeches. An episode in the House of Lords this week was the proposal of eccentric Lord Denman to limit the duration of speeches. He said he did not intend to insult any fel low peers; he simply wished to protect those who did not speak at unnecessary length. A lnlt hour was enough, he thought, lor any body except a Privy Counsellor, who might be allotted an hour. Lord fcalivbury, referring to Lord Den man as a usually silent member, said that the proposal reminded hiin ot the saints of oid, who were accustomed to inflict upon themselves the most frightful penance on account ol the sins Irom which they were notoriously tree. Peers generally, he con tinued, were not guilty of mating long speeches. Perhaps Lord Denman aimed at him. He might as well bring in a bill to prevent too much business in the Upper House, or the attendance from being too large. If the peers passed the bill the House of Commons mighttake it as a covert criticism of their lone speeches, and might retaliate somehow. As lie desired perfect harmony between the two Houses, he must oppose the proposal. Lord Denman joined i.i the laughter" at Lord Salisbury's wit and tried to continue the debate, but was cnecked by cries of order. A Cotton Crisis In Lancashire. The long pending crisis in the cotton trade has induced spinners in Lancashire to size the occasion ot a dispute with the operatives to declare a wholesale lockout The trade is (.ufieriijg from the fall in silver B'nl from nn enormous decrease in profits in r iods exported to India. The operatives raised the trouble over a trifling claim aris ing lrom breakage in working yarn. The Federation of Master Spinners, at a meet ing held to arrauge the minor question, found unanimity on the greater question of decreased returns justifying a 10 per cent reduction in wages, ana to-day declared a lockout in all mills, excepting those of cer tain cotton spinners. MALTA BECEE1S TO BE USELESS. The British Government Ilnty Altering the Plans ot Fortifications. London, April 1. Shortly after the a-rcst at Manchester of Edward Holden, formerly a quartermaster in the Itoyal En gineers, who was charged under the official secrets act w ith attempting to learn secrets regarding the defenses of Gibraltar it was li ar.icd that he had sold to France full par ticulars and plans of all the defenses at Malta. In consequence of the knowledge pained in this manner by the French Gov ernment, the British authorities have de emed to make extensive changes in the de lenses. Tlie work of altering the submarine and r. her works has already commenced and is being pushed as rapidly as possible. A Iiench gunboat was seen iuipe.cting the rimfTTfrrnirr -ynrT lQ$Wmr-' I coast of Malta a short time ago, and the manner in which she was handled showed that her officers were familiar with the works. It is thought that the officers were verifying the plans sold to France by Hoi den. ORE MORE FEAEL CASE. Another English Scandal Resembling That ' of Mrs. Osborne. London, April 1. Society in London has hardly recovered from Mrs. Florence Ethel Osborne's trial and conviction than another "pearl case" is threatened. Thus far those who discuss the affair are very chary about names. A well-known society lady, the wife of an officer in the army, some time ago missed a- very valuable broooh. Just prior to missing it she was packing a trunk or handbag, and she thought for a time that the brooch had been misplaced. Some little time later she was visiting a jewelry store and saw displayed for sale a brooch that resembled hers In every respect She asked to be allowed to examine the brooch, -and soon found beyond a doubt that it was the one she had lost She asked the jewelers where they got it, and they.told her it had been sold to them by a certain ladv, mentioning the name of her bosom friend. Then the officer's wife recalled that this friend had helped her at the time she was pocking, and she was left no other option than to believe that her friend had stolen the brooch. The officer's wife at once wrote her friend charging her with the theft The bosom friend at once communicated with her solicitors, laid the letter before them and instructed them to immediately begin action for hbeL EISKAKCE NOT F0EG0TTEN. The Former Iron Chancellor Congratulated Everywhere on Ills 77th Birthday. Beelin, April 1. Prince Bismarck is 77 years old to-day. The day has been marked by the attendance at Friedrichsrhue, where the Prince resides, ot a much larger number of persons than usual. The Prince is cele brating the day in his usual manner. He held a reception in the park and had a hearty word for all who called on him. He looked remarkably well. An immense number of floral gifts were sent to him from all parts of the Empire. Numerous deputations from various parts of the country waited upon Prince Bis marck and congratulated him. In thank ing a deputation, representing 10,000 miners in the Bochum district, the Prince said that coal and iron were closely associated with husbandry. He himself is a farmer, and he never credited aspersions upon the Bochum industry. To-night the place was brilliantly illuminated, and a torchlight procession was held. The Prince's birth day was celebrated in this city and other places throughout Germany. A telegram of congratulations was sent to the former Chancellor to-day on behalf of the members of the Rational Liberal party. COMMANDING THE EIGHT TO W0EK London's Unemployed, Led by a Negro, Threaten to Blake Much Trouble. London, April L The workmen of this country threaten to give the police trouble. A meeting of unemployed was held at Tower Hill to-day. Conspicuous above the heads of the assembled crowd was a black banner bearing the words: "We Command the Bight to "Work." The neigro, "Wade, who was arrested while heading a deputation that attempted to force its way into the office of the Lon don Countv Council, and whe was released on 10 bail, was again at the head of to day's movement. He said he intended to see whether clergymen were prepared to fulfill the Master's teaching, and a deputa tion was appointed fo await upon the Dean of St Paul's to ak his advice as to what the unemployed should do to obtain work.

The Finance Minister's statement was re ceived with loud applause, and the budget was subsequently adopted by a large major ity. MBS. SAMPSON TBIES SUICIDE.

A Couple of Them Worrying flew' York's Methodist Conference. PIKKERT0N DETECTIVES AT WOEK' And Some of the Ministers Themselves Rnnning Down Clews. AN0XTM0US LETTERS CAUSE TB0UBLE rSrECIAL TELXORAX TO TBZ DISrATCR.l New Yobs, April 1. Tho scandal whioh has been brewing in the New York Metho dist conference for the last two days, and which a committee has beca appointed to investigate, boiled up alarmingly to-day, and now Involves the good name of Bev. James M. King, D. D., of this city, one of the most prominent clergymen In the Methodist Episcopal Church. It was brought out to-day that Pinfcerton detectives had been hired by Methodist ministers to look up the origin of certain anonymous letters, and had been put on the track of their fellow ministers. When sus picion fell on Bev. Dr. King a man went to Dr. King's office, at 140 Nassau street, and rummaged through his papers and opened his desk, while he was at home ill in bed, for the purpose of obtaining evidence. All this and much more was common talk among the members of the Conference in the Park Avenue Church to-day, although none of it came to tlie surface at the public session. The spectators who watched the proceedings irom the galleries did not get the slightest inkling of the trouble from the proceedings, but in a private room the seven ministers who made up the Com mittee of Investigation were busy all day taking testimony from clergymen and laj men. W Two Scandals Being; Investigated. Two distinct matters are occupying the attention of the committee. One is the anonymons circular whioh purported to ex pose the log-rolling methods ot the minis ters who met at Jf oughkeepsie eany In et ruary for the ostensible purpose of de nouncing log-rolling in general in confer ence politics. The other is a still more serious matter. Bowles Colgate, the Presi dent of the New York City Church Exten sion and Missionary Society, received an anonymous letter, a week or two ago, pro testing against the election of Bev. F. Mason North as Secretary of the society. The letter said that Dr. North was unfit for the secretaryship, and made direct charges against him. When the society met on Tuesday it showed its confidence in Dr. North by unanimously electing him Secre tary in place of Bev. M. D. Crawford, who retired. Evidence was laid before the committee to-day designed to show that both the anonymous circular and the North letter came from 'the office of Dr. King, in the Morse building. This evidence was entirely circumstantial; and many of the ministers did not consider it was strong enough to put auy responsibility upon Dr. King personally, iir. lung is pastor ot the at John's Methodist Church, in "West Fifty third street, and is also Secretary of the Society for the Protection of American In stitutions, which has an office in the Morse building. There are two or three employes in the office, who are kept busy with the so ciety s correspondence, which is very ex tensive. Detective Work by the Preachers, "When the Poughkeepsie circular came out, over a month ago, some of the friends of the men mentioned therein began a little detective work on their -own hook. The circular was dated from Poughkeepsie, but Bev. Andrew Shriver, who lives in that town, went around among all the printing houses there and found that the circular had not been printed there. The circu lars had all been mailed from Pough keepsie, and it was found . that the day before thev had been put in the post office aoMcthodist minister from Newburg had be"en in town. This was JRev.E, S. Oborn,'who got ua in the Conference on Wednesday and disclaimed any knowledge of the printing or mailing of the circular. The amateur detectives thought 'they had obtained good evidence against Mr. ,Osborn when they learned that a bundle had come np from New York for him, which he had taken over to Poughkeepsie. He explained to everybody's satisfaction afterward that this was a bundle of his wife's belongings. One of the ministers thought he detected a semblance between the writing on the en velopes containing the anonymous circu lars and the addresses on official documents sent out from the office of Dr. King's so ciety. An expert was hired, and after a careful examination he gave it as his opin ion that the addresses of the anonymous circulars were written by the same hand as the others, although there was an apparent effort to disguise the writing. A Minister In the Bole of a Tidocq. One of the miniisters went shortly after this to Dr. King's office, and began to question the young woman who works the typewriter there. This is the story of what happened, as told by several ministers yesterday: He laid before her an official envelope in which some official matter had been sent out and asked her if the writing upon it was hers. She replied, after looking at it closely, that it was. Then he laid be side it one of the envelopes in which an anonymous letter had been sect out and asked her if that was her writing too. The young woman hesitated, but fust as she was about to answer a voice is said to have come from an inside room: "I command you not to answer any further questions." The minister could not get any more in formation then and he departed. Dr. King was not in his office at this time and the voice was said to belong to the Superin tendent, John McLellan. This evidence, it was understood, was laid before the com mittee of ministers to-day for what it was worth. Soon after Mr. Colgate received the anonymous letter about Bev. Mr. North he called at Dr. King's office, in company with Mr. North, so one of the ministers of the conference said to-day, and the two mode an extensive search there. Betrayed by His Letter Paper. "At another time," said this minister, "a man acting as a detective (I won't say he was a detective, becauss it is too much to say that one minister is using a detective to track down a fellow minister), came to Dr. King's office and borrowed a sheet of paper to write a note on. He took- that piece of paper away with him, and it was compared with the sheet" of which" the anonvmous letter had been written, and the f-ame waterriiark wa; found on both. Now, that's as far as that" evidence goes, mind you, and, of course, it only indicates that the letter started from that office. It doesnot connect Dr. King with it. Some outside person may have used the clerks in the office for his nefarious purposes. But the committee must get to the bottom of this whole affair now, for the reputation of every minister in the New lork Confer ence will be invoUed. If it is lastened on any minister in the conference, the commit tee can do nothing but recommend his trial on the charge of conduct unbecoming a min ister." Dr. King was summoned to-day to appear before the committee. He was seen by a reporter as he was waiting to be called in. "1 know absolutely nothing about the authorship of either the circular or,the let ter," he said earnestly, "and I have not had anything to do with sending them out That is all I can say at present" Dr. King has a strong personal following in the Conference, and his friends say it is absurd to consider for a moment that he is the guilty person. Dr. King has three times led the New York delegation to the Quadrennial General Conference, and four years ago he was elected a delegate by the largest vote ever given by the Conference for a candidate. He was a prominent figure e&srca PITTSBURGH DISPATCH, V T WJ in the Ecumenical Conference at Wash'ing-V ton last fall, which brought Methodist to- Reluct ttuiu oil fJM.jMi ui iu iivjJUt AT LEAST TEN DEAD. v Diver to Search the Hull or the Ruined Steamer Golden Kale.

Only Four In the Hill, but They Are Broken Into Fragments. Bibjietghasi, Ala., .April 1. This afternoon the Sterling Dynamite Works at Bessemer exploded, killing four men. The explosion was in the gas reservoir and its force was tremendous, nearly every glass in a town of 5,000 people being broken. The shock was plainly felt in this city, -15 miles distant Fire followed, and the ruins are burning. The explosion was in the pack ing house of the dynamite factory, where four men were engaged in packing and one at the engine. Nobody knows the cause of the explosion. Seven people in all were about the building but only the four inside were hurt The killed are: G. S. Hartley, Walter Lake, Ed Boykin and Frank Boykin, a boy. All were horribly mutilated except the boy. Nothing was found of Lake s body except one of his feet and a piece of scalp. Arms, limbs, tongues, heads and trunks of bodies were so scattered that it was impos sible to get the fragments ot the same body together. All the men were experienced workmen.

FIRES, FAILURE8 AND RAILWAY NEWS SPECIAL TELIQBAM TO Till DISPATCH. Erie, April 1. A destructive fire is now raging in the manufacturing section of the city, and as there is a gale blowing and the fire department is inadequate to fight the flames, great alarm prevails. The fire broke out in the upholstering room on the third floor in the Downing babv carriage works. The works were running night and day. The girls and workmen escaped. The bnilding was filled with stock, ready for market and new stock. The loss'is $78,000 and the in surance $50,000. Hon. J. F. Downing is the President of the company. A number of dwellings are on fire. The fire has broken out in the Merchant Flour ing Mill, and is beyond the control of the department The mills are elevator form, and are the largest in this section of the country. They are owned by Phineas & O. E. Crouch. The loss will 'not be less than $125,000 on building and stocks. The mill stands close by the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Bailroad, and all traffic is suspended, as the tracks are in the shadow of the tottering walls. The fire is now under control, but the gale is carrying showers of sparks among a thickly-settled section, and the fire is liable to break out anew. The Lake Shore tool houses and storehouses, the Watson mills and Nagle's engine works, which were threatened, are beyond danger. -This is the largest fire Erie has ever had, and the total loss is f 250,000. Chief Moser was taken seriously ill and was taken home. The fire crossed the Lake Shore tracks and burned the Lake Shore water tank, from which all engines are filled between Buffalo and Cleveland. - TEYINQ TO SATE PAIGE.

It will do tlie ore men little good to noiu on to their product in the hope of a betteiment at some time or other. On the contrary, they will pocket their loss and then suspend op erations. The lurnacemen ate doing noth ing to relieve the great surplus of material that isciowding the market. The pig iion men are in a bad way, and they know it. ' How 10 get relief is the question that is daily asked, and although they are ail agreed in principle that nothing will ac complish thedesiied object but a concerted move to shut off all further production until the great glut in the market is lelleved, most of them nie slow to put their opinion to the practical test. About the only peo ple in the market who are serene and take no heed of the futuie, are the vessel men. They ate assured of 20,000,000 bushels of gialn to come down from the boad of the lakes and charters are plenty at 1 cents from Duluth. The Strike at St. Louis. St. Louis, April 1.
