He also spoke of a devotion of national power of an Irish ibly. Cries of "Hear," "Hear." all the promises are dissolved in the nt meager bill, which stamped Ireland inequality as compared with England Scotland and falsified the miserable i of those engagements which were i by the country as the basis of the lission entrusted to the present Gov ent in 1SSG. alUbary's incitement to Civil Tfar. land, Mr. Gladstone said, had not been Jg during the last six years for a local -'.ltnent bill, nor would she regret the fthe measure now presented.

Cries of ir, hear." If Lord Salisburv's lage means anything it is a plain in lent of a few misguided men to resort olence to resist the authority of Parlia- Mnch Power Given to the Viceroy. . Gladstone then proceeded to examine fading provisions of the bill, contend hat the power it was proposed to con pon the Viceroy of Ireland concerning ivisions of councils and the power of lution would place the councils com ly at the mercy of the Viceroy, who il thus be enabled to destroy the effect e whole bill. This proposal alone con ted a radical difference between the local government bill and the English Scotch measures. .

Gladstone here interrupted Mr. Bal saying lie hadn't uttered a syllable to cflect He believed that a few foolish le might act upon the opinion of Lord bury. . Balfour then proceeded to reply to Gladstone's criticism. The bill, he J, is substantially the same as the ish and Scotch hills. If there is any -ence it is due to the peculiar conditions tiling in Ireland. It was opposed v because it would not serve the pur of Irish agitators. The real aim of lome Rulers is separation.

The Government, Mr. Balfour said, had shown by acts and deeds and fulfilled legislation of measures that it still earnestly desires to accomplish what it aimed to do. "What Mr. Gladstone desires to do, no human being knows. If the Government had cleared the issues, as Mr. Gladstone said, let him do his part by placing before the electors of the country the policv which he desires adopted. Cheers. " A division was then taken and the bill passed to its second reading by a vote of 339 to 247. The result of the division was re ceived with prolonged Conservative cheers. The debate greatly increased in interest when Mr. Gladstone arose to speak. Mr. Balfour's challenge to Mr. Gladstone to disclose his home rule scheme to the electors evoked cheers from both the Unionists and the Parnellites. Several Radicals voted with the Govern ment The Conservatives are delighted at the solid majority they obtained. The Lib erals do not conceal their disappointment at the result of the division, the blame for which, they say, was the absence of so many Irish members. Out of 29 Parnell ites only 16 voted, and out of 55 McCartby ites only 3S voted. THE BUSINESS WORLD. All Uniontown Building Trades on Strike Against One Firm.

A decree was pub lished to-day, containing a declaration that the King approves the resolution recently adopted by the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, providing tor a revision of the constitution. After the Senate and Cham ber have voted that certain articles of the constitution are to be revised, those bodies become ipso facto subject to dissolution, and their successors, elected within a period of two months, will acquire the powers of a constitutional assembly.

There are several articles of the constitu tion it is proposed to revise.

A Resolution to Take Possession of the "Waterfront at Washington Startles the Merchants The Government Wants to Occupy Its Own Land. "Washington", D. C., May 24. Special A resolution offered in the Senate to-day by Senator McMillan, Chairman of the Committee on the District of Columbia, has startled the citizens of "Washington almost out of their boots. The resolution is the first step by the Government in the di rection of taking possession of the entire front of the city which, it is claimed, be longs to it by right but which merchants, ship owners and others have occupied for many years and which, no doubt, they think thev own by right of squatter sovereignty. The resolution authorizes and directs the Chief of Engineers of the Army, on behalf of the United Stat es, to take possession of all the lands, wharf and wharfage property lying between the long bridge and the Arsenal wall, and extending from "Water street on the north to the Potomac river on the south. This property the Chief of En gineers is to hold and keep just as though it were the property of the United States. He is authorized to call upon the police force of the District, if necessary, to aid him in carrying the resolution into effect. It is provided that parties desiring to enter into contracts for use of said portion of the said property may within 30 days from the pas sage of the resolution take a lease thereof from the Chief of Engineers for a term not exceeding five years, for such compensation and in such conditions touching occupancy and payment of rentals as the Chief ot En gineers may approve. As the property in question includes all there is of coai docks, steamboat wharves, lumber piers, warehouse sites, etc, in the entire District of Columbia, the introduc tion of the resolution will be apt to create consternation in the business community. The legal advisers of the Government, it is understood, say tnat the occupants ot the wnter front property have no sort of title, and that the Government has the right to demand rental for every foot of the prop erty covered by the terms of the resolution.

A NEW PABTHEMA. A Julia Marlowe as a Very Gentle TamCr the Savage Barbarian. Julia Marlowe is a somewhat new Parihe nia; a simpler, more girlish and softer souled vision of Ancient Greece than most of her predecessors have made the character. It is a performance one must enjoy, even if it hardly have the range of emotion and sharp contrasts in mood that some Partfienias have shown us. The gentle, lov ing maiden who, like music, tames the savage breast is embodied by Miss Marlowe with tenderness and touching pathos to the full. It is only in the flashes of fire, that should momentarily blaze in that maiden heart, that Miss Mar lowe is a little weak. "Whether this is due to the delicate state of her health or nor mal limitations of physique is not clear. In the love passages and the famous definition of the divine passion, Miss Marlowe was de liriously natural, and in everything she was artistic. The grace of herposes and move ments was marred by the superabundance of her drapery. Uer peplum was not made by the "Wortn of Massilia that's certain. Still, she made a pretty picture oftentimes. Last night in her performance of JParthenia, Miss Marlowe received excellent support from Mr. Robert Taber, who as Ingomar was earnest and evenly dramatic in his delivery, and thanks to a fine figure and a fine voice a pleasant barbarian withal. The play con tains but these two considerable parts, though the grotesque figure of Polydore was outlined cleverly by a. A. weaver, Sr. The mounting of the play showed signs of a long season's hard usage, but was fairly effective. In the romantic drama the eye should be seduced by scenery and stage pictures, so that the mind may have no greater task than the swallowing of the im possible in plot and the superhuman in lan guage. But without such seduction "Ingo mar" as played to a large audience at the Grand Opera House last night was very en joyable. Several recalls showed the audi ence's liking for Miss Marlowe's work. Philadelphia, May 24. The average Phlladelphian never witnessed such a pageant as that which occupied Broad street this morning. Eleven o'clock was the hour set for the great parade of the Grand Commandery Knights Templar of Pennsylvania to move, but long before that hour the streets were crowded with people.

He Reiterates His Opinion That Cleve land's Nomination Means Knin. Louisville, May 24. The night before the battle gives every indication that mor row's contest in the Bourbon State will add another blossom to the great laurel wreath of Cleveland's success. Dele gates from all portions of the State are arriving in the city, and nhile there is great division of opinion, the pre ponderencc of sentiment seems to be in favor of a strong declaration in favorof Mr. Cleveland. Instructions for Cleveland can, however, be given only in the face of the most vehement opposition from the support ers of Kentucky s two favorites, John C Carlisle and Henry "Watterson. In a speech to-night at a serenade Mr. Watterson said: "From first to last, speak ing as the friend and not the enemy of Mr. Cleveland, I have urged that it would be ruinous to him and to us, to his great name and fame and to ours in the immediate future to renominate him unless New York should come to the National Convention solid behind him. Uew York is split' wide open. Its regular Democrats are committed against Mr. Cleveland. All the organized support which he has in the Em pire State is an irregular body of Demo crats, who have raised a standard of revolt, the very success of which must be de struction to him. How can any thoughtful Democrat see anything but defeat is such conditions? I know that in the beginning Mr. Cleveland took the same view of the situation that I did. and if he now really and seriously wants the nomination, he has changed his opinion."

It is charged that the alliance is not being conducted in accord ance with its certificate of incor poration, its affairs being conducted fraudu lently by the officers. These officers are mainly self-constituted, and arc said to have squandered the assets. The entire benefit lund. it is alleged, is in imminent danger of being lost by the reckless acts of the officers. THE expected triangular race on Cayuga Lake between the crews of Columbia and Cornell col leges and the University of Pennsylvania has been abandoned on account of the Impossibility of ar ranging a date that would suit all of the crews. Instead of the three-cornered event, however, there will be a race between the Columbia and Cornell Freshmen's eights on Junes, and another between the Freshmen's eight and University of Pennsylvania and the eight of Cornell College on June 15. Both races will be rowed in New York. BOSSES CHANGE THE RULES, But the Locked-Out Plasterers Laugh at the BlnfT. Monday night the boss plasterers met and made another change in the rules on which they locked the journeymen out on May 2. I was rule third, which read "All iron lath shall be put on bv whom the employer may desire." They strack out the word "iron," making a settlement between them and the men all the further away. Secretary Spilker, of the Journeymen's Union, yesterday said that the change had been made to blufi the plasters,but it would not work. He says the union is now on good financial footing and ready to stay out all summer. The journeymen have 'sent back 26 of the 40 non-union men brought from the East by the bosses. Sought Relief in Prison. D. Davis, a well-known resident of the Southside, applied last night at the Twenty eighth ward police station for lodging, and requested that he be sent to jail for ten days. His reason, he said, was because he is sick and has no one to take care of him. He said he had applied for admission to sev eral hospitals and they would not take him, and giving up in despair he decided to' go to jail. He is well up in years, and at one time was a prominent puddler. Interfered With the Tralnmon. James Murray was arrested last night on a charge of trespass made before Alderman Leslie by Charles Gallagher. Murray re sides on Forty-eighth street, and in return ing home in the evenings crossed the Alle gheny Valley Railroad, annoying the train men. It is alleged that he signals the trains to stop, and misplaces the switches and lan terns. He will be given a hearing to-day. 3S 954 AND 956 LIBERTY ST.
