MAH LABOUCHERE
He Would Go Overboard for the Suc
cess of the Democracy.
HE DON'T BLAME MB. GLADSTONE
Bat Thanks Heaven That His Head and Ears
ire Still Safe.
HIS OWN ACCOUNT OP HIS EXCLUSION
London; Anc. 23. Mr. Labonchere has.
in to-day's Truth a crisp account of the cir
cumstances of his exclusion from the Gov
ernment He says that he never thought of
eeting office, that he never asked a Minis
ter in esse or posse for anything, and that
he does not contemplate ever doing so.
Mr. Labouchere proceeds to confirm the
IVorld't story, and says:
"An emissary informed me, presumably
as qniJ pro quo, that Mr. Gladstone would
always be glad to consult me on public af
fairs." After asking why it should be sug
gested to him to write a letter renouncing
office he cars: "I certainly understood
that the Queen had in some way, direct or
indirect, led Mr. Gladstone to arrive at the
fact that my joining the Government would
not pletse her."
Tlctorla Strictly Constitutional.
Assuming that Queen had expressed such
sentiment, Mr. Labouchere says he thinks
it is to be regretted that be may not have
seen, ere to eye with the Queen in all mat
ters, but admits that he always regarded her
as strictly constitutional His interpreta
tion of the Constitution is, he says, that the
Queen selects the Premier and leaves him a.
tree hand in the choice of colleagues. He
(Labouchere) might or might not have
accepted office if it had been offered. As the
thing is gone he thanks heaven, that come
what may. his head and ears are safe under
Queen Victoria, Radical approbation weigh
more with him than that ot all the emper
ors, empresses, kings, queens, lords and
lickspittles in the universe."
"So that the good ship Democracy sails
prosperously into Joppa," he savs, "I care
not whether my berth is in the officers' quar
ters or in the forecastle. Jones or Jonah.
all is the same to me, and if the thought of
my beine thrown overboard would render
the Buccess of the voyage more certain, over
board I would go with pleasure all the
more as I can swim."
He thinks the new administration is
hardly in harmony with the Democracy.
He does not blame Mr. Gladstone, but says
the "Sons of the Horse Leech" have been
too much for him. Mr. Gladstone appears,
he says, to be still unaware that the Liberal
party is not what it was. If he had con
sulted his chief lieutenants more it might
have been different
Mr. Labouchere says he has most confi
dence in Sir "William Harcourt. He re
gards Mr. Morley as thoroughly honest and
sound on all issues except those of labor,
still he considers Mr. Morley more a man
"to sink with the ship than to rule In a
storm."
Why H. Didn't tVrlti".
Inferring to the suggestion that he should
write a letter renouncing his claims to
office, Mr. Labouchere says: "If I had
written a letter which would have been a
Radical surrender I should have failed in
duty to my friends and given Mr.
Gladstone a free hand to bestow on
Radicals only small subordinate posts. I
could not see" why, having asked lor noth
ing, I should be called upon to say that I
wanted nothing. Tdat would have implied
that I expected to be offered something
andwould have been regarded as evidence
of impertinent presumption on my part
"Was anyone ever asked to write such a
letter during the formation of any ministry?
I may be a political leper, but I could
hardly be asked to admit it"
Continuing, he says although his friends
urged him not to refuse office, he liked his
independence and did not like the trammels
of office. With reference to the Queen's
prejudice, he says: "If the matter had
been a purely personal one, the slightest
hint that a lady did not wish me to enjoy
the privilege of kissing her hand would
have been sufficient, but in this case I
think there is something more involved."
LABOtJCHEEE AND THE QUEEN.
She Stipulated That He Should Wot
Be
Selected for Any Government Post.
London, Aug. 2a The World to-day
ays that General Sir Frederick Ponsonby,
the Queen's Private Secretary, in
conveying to Mr. Gladstone Her
Majesty's command to form a Ministry,
stipulated that Mr. Labouchere should not
be selected to 11 any post in the Govern
ment. Mr. Labouchere, the World adds, was Im
plored to get Mr. Gladstone out of diffi
culty by writing a letter declaring that he
would not accept the office, as he wished to
remain independent. This Mr. Labouchere
declined to do. Overtures have since been
made to him to accept the revived title of
his uncle, Baron Taunton.

Beblin, Aug. 23. The report of an
cident which was said to have befallen
Of-
ac
the Empress in her present delicate condition
appears to have been exaggerated, a lact
largely and principally dne to the policy of
secrecy adopted by the court authorities.
It appears that there was no danger, but
that a premature birth was anticipated at
the time, as alarming telegrams were sent
out To-night's Official Gazette publishes
a quietus on all rumors by announcing that
the accouchment of the Empress may be
expected to take place during the first week
of September.

pretext to pose as the exponent of a spirited
foreign policy."

Berlin, Aug. 23. A correct interprets
tion of the Emperor's speech at the recent
banquet implies that he considers that a
two years' service is only compatible with
a large increase of the strength of the army,
and that if it is necessary for credits to be
refused he prefers a smaller and better
drilled army. It is not impossible, there
fore, that a military bill including a short
service clause will still be submitted to the
Reichstag.

srXCIAI. TKLTQTUM TO Title DISPATCH. J
Nashville, Aug. 2a Captain Morton,
commander of Morton's battery, has re
turned from Coal Creek to confer with Gov
ernor Buchanan concerning the situation
there. Captain Morton thinks the situa
tion is quite serious and that trouble may
occur. He said that General Carnes had
information that between 2,000 and 3,000
miners were congregated at Jellico, on the
Kentucky border, and there was danger of
them making a raid on Coal Creek at any
time.
Captain Morton believes that 75 or 100
miners have been killed. He said that sev
eral members of the Sheriff's party were
still missing, but it is not known whether
they were killed or not Captain Morton
said the law-abiding people of
that lection are very apprehensive
of danger to life and property, unless the
leaders in the riot are severely and promptly
punished, and the opinion is freely ex
pressed that, unless vigorous efforts for the
punishment of the rioters are pressed,
many law-abiding citizens will be killed or
driven from the country and much prop
erty destroyed.
Captain Morton will confer with the Gov
ernor and oonsider the advisability of ask
ing the Governor of Kentucky for author
ity to allow Tennessee troops to go over the
line and apprehend any Tennessee or Ken
tucky miners who may have taken part in
the riots. Captain Morton said it was Gen
eral Carnes' desire to have martial law
declared, but this Captain Morton thought
could not be done. He said Judge East
was of the opinion that the Legislature
alone could do this; but Attorney General
Pickle does not think the Legislature can
declare martial law, as it is prohibited bv
the Constitution.
CONVICTS TO BE RETURNED.
The Tennessee Blato Board or Prison In
spectors Decides Upon This Coarse
Their Rental Referred to the Legisla
ture An Associated Press Agent Driven
Ont of Coal Creek.
Nashville, Tenn., Ang. 2a Special
The convicts who were released by the
miners at Tracy City, Inman and Oliver
Springs and sent back to the main prison in
this city, are to be returned to those places.
This was determined upon late this evening
by the State Board ot Prison Inspectors.
The stockades destroyed by the miners will
be rebuilt asspeedilvaspossible.and withiu
a short time the convicts will be engaged in
digging coal.
The board of prison inspectors to-day re
ceived the answer of the Tennessee Iron,
Coal and Bailroad Company to the notice
given to it on Saturday last by the Inspec
tors. This notice was that it must remove
surplus convicts from the penitentiary.
The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Bailroad
Company in their answer deny that
any of the alleged grounds for
cancelling the lease exist They
ask that the company be not held liable for
the rental of the convicts forcibly released
and taken from their Dossession without
their consent, thereby depriving the com
pany of their labor. The company, in their
answer, further ask that the convicts that
were at Tracy City, Inmah and Oliver
Springs be returned and the company receive
protection from insurrectionary violence.
The company also says that it does not
wish to embarrass the State or burden it
with debt to maintain the law, and that if
the Inspectors prefer that the convicts Bhall
hot be worked in the company's mines the
Company will agree to immediately cancel
thefiease upon the fairest and most equitable
terms.
After the notice and answer had been dis
cussed for several hours, the board ot in
spectors decided to return the convicts to
the mines and leave the matter of their
rental during their term of idleness, together
with other questions to be settled
by the Legislature, by arbitration or
by the courts. A large force in a few days
will begin work on the new stockades,
and when the convicts are sent to these
places they will be strongly guarded to pre
vent any attempt to release them again.
A special to the Banner says: General
Carnes" has just forced Associated Press
Agent Hargraves, from Nashville, to leave
the telegraph office at Coal Creek. Cause
unknown.

. NO INHUMANITY PRACTICED.
Investigators Find That Idaho Imprisoned
Miners Were Nat Badly Treated Prls.
oners Testify That They Have No Com
plaints to Make of Their Jailers.
Coubd'Alene, iDAHO.Aug. 2a Frank
Crostwaite, of the' Department of Justice
arrived Inst evening from Wallace, Idaho,
where he has been investigating the reports
of inhuman and b'rntal treatment of im
prisoned miners there, as telegraphed to
the Attorney General by the officers of
labor organizations. As a result of that in
vestigation be said that the reports made
were based upon inacenrate a...1" exaggerated
statements made to the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Assembly, ot Montana,
"Immediately upon receipt of tbe reports
by tire Attorney-General," said Mr. Crost
waite, "he directed me to proceed at once
to Wallace and investigate as to their truth
or falsity. I have followed his instructions
and I find that the prisoners have
an abundance of good food and pure
water, and all places I needing it are
disinfected perfectly and ihe prisoners are
'allowed to exercise all day In the open air
without restraint, except the presence of
a military guard. I have given prisoners
an opportunity to speak in person, and tbe
conditions as they exist do not warrant the
reports put in circulation." 1
"Begarding Peter Breen, who is especial
ly referred to in the reports, I will say that
he is held on a requisition from Governor
Willey, of Idaho, on Governor Toole, of
Montana, and hence he stated to me tbat he
had no complaints to make of tbe general
treatment he is receiving. The report ot a
military board convened by General
Carlln to Investigate is the same
as to facts as found by me.
The fact that 23 of the prisoners who had
been released 'on their own recognizance
came into court yesterday at Wallace and
surrendered themselves to be returned to
prison, would seem to argue tbat there was
no truth in the reports of inhuman and
brutal treatment. It has been learned on
the best of authority that the statements
that brought about this investigation were
made by counsel for defense."

alternoon Judge Dennis appointed Charles
J. Wiener and Joseph C. France, teceivers
of the order of the Iron HalL The supreme
officers of the order, who reside in Balti
more and were made party defendants in
the bill brought by Attorney Welner, came
into court and gave their consent to the ap
pointment of receivers. Then Judge
Dennis made the appointments. Notice
was served on all the depositories of the
funds. These receivers will administer the
fund of 5135,000 still remaining in Mary
land. Of course they will not assume their
duties unless receivers are granted in
Indianapolis. Hosmer, the Supreme Vice
Justice of the order, who returned last
night from Indianapolis, consented to the
appointment of the receivers.
Another bill for an injunction and re
ceiver was filed to-day in the City Circuit
Court against the Iron Hall bv W. Burns

The bill prays that an injunction may be
issued restraining the Iron Hall Savings

tne tunas ot tne order now deposited In its
vaults. The bill also asks that a receiver
be appointed ,0 take charge of and collect
all moneys and assets of the order within
the State of Maryland under direction of
the court. Judge Dennis signed an order
granting a preliminary injunction to this
effect and set Angust 31 as the day for the
order to show cause why the injunction
should not be made permanent. A bond of
?1,000 was filed.
A dispatch from Indianapolis says:
James F. Failey, of this city, has been ap

GEO. TWEEDY & CO.'S FAILURE.
It Forms an Absorbing Topic of Conversa
tion In Philadelphia Circles.
Philadelphia, Aug. 2a The suspen
sion of the shipping firm of George Tweedy
& Co., of London, who are principal oper
ators of the North Atlantic Trident line of
steamships between this port and London,
Swansea, Avonmouth, Bristol and Eo tier-
dam, was made known here to-day at the
Maritime Exchange and was tbe all-absorbing
topio of discussion among shipping
men, as the firm was regarded as one of the
stanchest in London. The news arrived
here in a cablegram received by Captain
Milburn, of the British steamship Munifi
cent, one of the chartered boats running on
the Hue. It was from the owner of he
ship, apprising Captain Milburn of the sus
pension of the firm and instructing him not
to allow any of his inward cargo to be dis
charged until such time as a guarantee pay
ment ot the freight was made.
Later Captain Milburn received another
cablegram confirming the reported suspen
sion. In the afternoon tbe Philadelphia
agents nf the line deposited with Brown Broar
cath sufficient to defray the inward freight,
and the nork of discharging the cargo was
begun this evening. The embarassed firm
is well known throughout the shipping
world and operates the steamships Aidar,
Bernina, BIdar, Chongar, Delm'ar, Enskar,
Gonshar, Holkar, Iz;ar, Joffar, Kashgar,
Lascar, Miniera, Orlanda, and Fonar, all
vessels of large capacities. For years the
firm controlled nearly all the Black Sea
trade, and aside from this had a line to ports
in the Mediterranean as well as the trident
line in this city. Embarrassment is proba
bly due to the lailuro of the Black Sea
trade, upon which they depended largely
for the employment of their vessels, and
shipping men here believe the suspension
will be but temporary, as the firm has large
resources upon which to draw for support.
AH ECHO OF A DISASTER.

Cansed by Ihe Park Place Catistropb.
New York, Aug 2a There was an
echo of the terrible Park Place catastrophe
of a year ago to-day, when 13 attachments

belonging to as many companies. These
companies refuse to pay the claims made
against them, setting up the defense that
the property was destroyed by the fall of
the building and not by fire. The names of
the comoanies and the amount of the at
tachments are as follows:

MICHIGAN CBOFS IMPB0VING.
Droosbt Prevails in the Southern Section
Where Grains Are Safferlos;.
Detroit, Aug. 23. As indicated by the
crop report of the Michigan Weather and
Crop Service issued to-day, the past week
has been a favorable one for crops in tbe
northern and central counties, while in the
southern section the drought still continues.
Harvesting of wheat and oats is progress
ing in the northern and central portions,
and a good crop seems assured. Farmers in
some sections are putting the gronnd in
shape for fall sowing.
In the southern section, where the
drought prevails, small grains are suffering
and pastures are drving up. JPototoes and
corn are a very poor crop thus far, and if
the dry spell keeps up much longer will be

THE Q0L0OY OF ENGLAND.
Huge Glaciers From Scandinavia
landed
on the Drltlsll Jstes.
Pearson's Weeslr.
Becent investigation of the geological
historv of Enirland has brought out into
very clear light some of the wonderful I
scenes oi ine giaciai epocn. ueoiogists
long thought that there were indications in
the north of England of two successive in
vasions of the ice, between which the land
bad been depressed some 1,500 or 2,000 feet,
so that the sea flowed deep above it.
But later research has led Mr. G. F.
Wright and other geologists to the conclu
sion that there was no such depression of
land in Eugfand, and that the marine shells
found high on the hills were carried there
by the ice as it advanced across the country
in tne great ice age.
From Scandinavia huge glaciers, advanc
ing straight across the shallow North Sea,
had reached England at Flamborough
Head. Down irom the Highlands of Scot
land another resistless coiumn of glaciers
was advancing to join tbe first, burying
hills and valleys deep nnder the "ice.
Other glaciers pushed out on all sides from
the mountains of Northern Wales.
From Southwestern Scotland and across
tbe Irish Sea came a still mightier stream
of ice. That rich and beautiful country
which so delights the eyes of the traveler
to-day, and upon whose bosom rest so
many prosperous towns and cities, lay
buried under a vast frozen sheet
In the meantime all forms of life that
loved the sun had retreated before the on
coming ice, while Arctic species came to
take their places, and so it happened that
the Irish Sea was filled with the shells of
diflerent species of animals mingled to
gether. As the ice advanced it pushed
many of these shells before it over the land,
and left them when it melted away as a
token to future ages of the wonderful work
it had done.

has been decided that the Government will

CanaL A meeting of the Cabinet
was held to-day to discuss the outlook and
the probable effect of President Harrison'
proclamation on Canadian lake shipping.
A member of the Cabinet stated to-night
tbat no attempt at retaliation will be made)
in the direction oi imposing discriminatory
tolls on a merchant vessel passing thronzh
the Wetland Canal, as has been suggested
by some of tbe Government pres.
Tbe Hamilton Spectator, one or the Gov
ernment organs, urges the repudiation of
the Washington treaty, so far as trade and
tbe use of the canals are concerned, and the
levying of tolls on United States vessels
passing through the "Welland Canal, such
tolls to be in addition to the usual tolls
Canadian vessels are required to pay in the
St. Mary's canal.
It was further decided to-day to carry to
the notice of the British Government the
absurdity of continuing the "Washington,
treaty in force in view of the fact tbat it
has been denuded of every clause by which
any special privileges were conceded to
Canadian eitizens, and urge the abrogation
ot the treaty at the earliest possible moment.
Tbe question of asserting the proprietary
and territorial rights of Canada in the St.
Clair Flats Canal where it passes through
Canadian territory was discussed, tbe at
tention of the government having been
drawn to the lact that time would
weaken their right to assert
jurisdiction in these waters. It
was contended that tne lact tnat Can
ada accepted the use of the St. Clair Flats
canal on terms of equality with citizens of
the United States as apart of the treaty did
not concede to the. United States any exclu
sive proprietory rights in that waterway.
The Development of Fishery.
It is very interesting to notice the devel
opment of the fishery from its original
form to the shape it is found in to-day. Yoa
will find the Eskimo using a piece of
bone with a bent nail stuck through it, tho
lure being rendered more attractive by the
addition of two or three colored beads ob
tained from a trader, and perhaps a conple
of red bills of auks. He knows by expe
rience that certain kinds of figures carved
in wood out of which he makes his big
hooks, will catch the greatest possibe num
ber of fish, and so he makes an invariable
rule of using those.
Climate influenced by n Luk-.
The extent of the influence a lake may
exercise upon climate ii illustrated by the
statement of H. Forel that the quantity of
heat accumulated in Lake Lenian during
summer is equivalent to that which wonld
be given out by the burning of 51,000,000
tons 01 coai. ivraiiroau train carryiui; tuis
coal would be 18,000 kilometers long, or
nearly the length of the earth's meridian
from pole to pole.

JARED COTTON AT 76.
His Troubles Have Disappeared Lika Brokea
Ice Driven by a Strong Wind.
There Is no man betterknown la New London.
Conn., than Jared Cotton. He Is 76 years old
and has lived In tbat city about thirty years,
working in Brown's cotton gla factory for 29
years of that time.
His unusual experience In the last year has
brought Mr. Cotton Into considerable promi
nence. la an Interview with a writer for the World Mr.
Cotton Id:
"Ever since I came to New London I have
been troubled In greater or less degree by an
annoying, though not un
common trouble.
"For the last eight
years I bare suffered be
yond description from
the agonies of kidney dis
ease. Many physicians
treated me. but I grew
worse Instead of better
and had to give up worst.
In crossing the room I
staggered like a drunken
man. I was In such bad
shape that I gave up
hoDes of ever getting bet
jared torro.v.
ter. The insane retreat and speedy death was the
only open door I could see to get out of misery.
Through the province of Ood Bev. William A.
Smith heard of my suffering and told me of a
remedy that had done blm ranch good. With but
little faith 1 tried the means he told me of. For ,
the first few days I could see but little improve
ment, but at last, through faithful perseverance,
my complaints have disappeared like the lc
roken by a thaw and driven away,byt a strong
wind, all through the use of Palne's celery com
pound. "Now I am strong and can walk several miles a
day and do my day's work. Now I can eat three
meals a day with a good appetite and good diges
tion. Now lean sleep like a baby, something I
have not been able to do for many years past. I
am thankful to Palne's celery compound for the
great good It has wrought In my case.
"My experience Is spoken of throughout New
London as a remarkable case of suffering and a
marvelous cure, and I eonld mention many In this
city who have been brought to health and strength
through using this same remedy that restored
me."
In August when the hot weather makes people
feel weak, run down and sleepless and tends to de
press the nervous system this compound will be
found of great value. It glres strength to the
weak, sleeu to the sleepless, and makes people weU.
