French Views on Protection Pork Cheaper When Not Admitted Free. Paris, March 17. Apropos ot the present tariff agitation, M. De Molinari, editor of the Journal -Des Economiste. and a wellknown advocate of free-trada principles, said to the correspondent of the Associated Press: 'There is a complete reaction in France in favor of protection. In both Chambers the protectionists have a very strong majority. It is true that at least two members of the present Ministry M. RouTier. Minister of Finance, and M. Gnyot. Minister of Public Works are pronounced free-traders. Bat they can do nothing for the cause. The step that Parliament is abont to take will injure France enormously. Oar manufacturers see uo farther than the end of their noses. Protection is a suicidal policy, and yet the protectionist spirit. has always existed in France." M. Parfieta, a protectionist Deputy, mado the statement that poik was cheaper in France since the prohibition of American pork. He added: "Naturally, we don't wish to change this state of things."

A tuyere of one of Baird's blast furnaces at Coal Bridge, near Glasgow, exploded yesterday, with fatal result. Two men were roasted to death. The burning mass from the blast furnaces scorched nine others, it is feared, fatally. The London Times, referring to the United States copyright bill, remarks that An examination of the text of the bill shows that in some directions, at least, it is better than expected. The important point is that it affords real copyright to works of art: so European artists are in a better position than the authors. The provision of the bill which provides that authors have the sole right to dramatize their books is also important." A bill has passed the British Parliament Testing the corporation of Stratford-on-Avon, as trustees of Shakspeare's birthplace and other memorial places, with power to purchase Anne Hatbaway's cottage and the Wilmcoto cottage, which belonged to Sbakspeare's mother.

SPEECHES BY MR.GLADSTOKE

English and Irisb Politics Discussed by Britain's Veteran Statesman. Ovation from the People as lie Was Leaving London Yesterday Two Addresses in Which Parnell Was Given a Severe Drubbing. London, March 17, Mr. Gladstone received a tremendous and spontaneous ovation to-day. lie was leaving Charing Cross railway station for Hastings when an immense crowd gathered at the depot in order to witness his departure. Fired by enthusiasm the crowd, cheering itself hoarse after Mr.' Gladstone appearod, broke down the barriers and made a rush for tho "grand old man," cheering and waving hats and handkerchiefs as if mad with joy to see the veteran statesman. A number of the extra enthusiastic admirers of Mr. Gladstone, not content with demoralizing the depot with their outbreak of admiration, scrambled rp on top of tne cars of the train which was to take Mr. Gladstone out of town, and there they stood and yelled, and cheered, and waved until the train, starting suddenly, threw several of them down upon the tracks and platform. Two men were so seriously injured that they had to be taken to Charing Cross Hospital, and several others were badly cut and brnised. The railroad station fairly shook with cheers as the tram bearing Mr. Gladstone moved out of the building on its way to the seaside. Previous to the departure of tne train the executive committee of the Radical Association presented an address to Mr. Gladstone, in which it whs stated that the association was hopeful of a brilliant triumph for Mr. Gladstone and his followers in tbe coming elections, but the turmoil prevailing in the depot was so great that Mr. Gladstono was utterly unable to say a word in reply. He could only express by signs his aoDreciatiou of the sentiments conveyed in the presentation of the address. When the train in which Mr. Gladstone was traveling stopped at Tnnbridge, Keut, a large crowd was found to have assembled there. Mr. Gladstone replied toaddresses which were presented tohim on the platform of the railroad station, saying among other things that be hoped to shake hands with a Liberal member from Tunbridge after the next parliamentary election. He assured them that whatever measure of home rule was proposed its spirit and basis wonld be unchanged from those of the former one cheersl; that it would be compatible with English honor, and would bring peace and contentment to Ireland and life to the union. The enfranchisement measures of 1SS4 were of benefit to the wholo country. It was now of publio interest that every householder should enjoy equal voting power- Upon his arrival at Hastings Mr. Gladstone received a perfect ovation. The streets were brilliantly 'decorated with bunting, and the veteran parliamentarian was welcomed in truely royal style. goschen's policy condemned. In reply to an address presented tohim at Hastings, shortly after his arrival, Mr. Gladstone said that he found little to blame in Lord Salisbury's foreign policy during recent years, but Mr. Gladstone added that he condemned tbe policy of Mr. Goschen, Chancellor of tbe Exchequer, in concootmg fictitious surpluses and concealing the real expenditures from Parliament in order to manufacture a satisfactory -budget. The finances of the country, continued the Liberal leader, were intimately connected with its liberties, and he protested against insidious attempts to undermine the power of the House of Commons to control the expenditures. Continuing, Mr. Gladstone said that in 1889 10,000,000 were set apart for naval expenditure, the payments extending over a period of seven years. This was an objectionable method ot granting money. Besides, itoughtto be remembered that the fashions of ships changed. What, he asked, would be thought of a lady ordering and paying for bonnets for the next seven years, based on the present fashions. Cries of "Hear!" "Hear!"! Last year's exchequer balance, said Mr. Gladstone, was fictitious. And it was actually proposed to devote part of the surplus to buy publicans' licenses at their owners' prices. Next alluding to the Irish Parliamentary party, Mr. Gladstone remarked that the party now existing was the result of a long series of events and united efforts. It could not be disputed that tbe members of this party were bound to sink their individual opinion and bow to the opinions of the majority. That opinion had been generally used in the interests of the empire. 'B;fore proceeding any further," Mr. Gladstone added, "I should like to say a word abont Mr. Parnell's speech, in which he said that ho had opposed tbe claims of the labor candidates in England in consequence of an obligation he was under to the Liberal leaders. There is not ono word of truth in this statement so far as I am concerned, 'Hear,' Hear.'i Far from opposing tbe claims of the labor candidates, I have always been ready to support them." Cheers. PARNELL AND TUE LIBERALS. Touching upon the painful disclosures of the divorce court, Mr. Gladstone said that it was not his place to judge the amount of the delinquency, but it was the part of the Liberals to consider upon what principles they would be guided in the disposal of their votes. The Liberals knew that the cause of home rule depended upon them. Tbe Conservatives might pass a measure for home rule on the lines indicated by tbe Liberals, but the "ill-starred abortion called Liberal-Unionists" were the real objectors to a home-rale measure. The Liberals, added the veteran statesman, had arrived at a definite conclusion in regard to Mr. PamelL He Mr. Glad stone I was merely a reporter of the general conviction that the party was against Mr. Parnell. This conviction was arrived at in December. It held good now. ICheers. The Liberals were ready to face defeat, but they were not prepared to create a constitutional leadership for Ireland under such a guidance as Mr. Paruell's, No consideration would make them do so. Cheers. Referring to the government's Irish administration, Mr. Gladstone coutended that Ireland was governed one way and Great Britain was governed another way. Irishmen continued to be deprived of many liberties which Englishmen enjoyed. It was for the Irish people themselves to solve the 3uetion by a prompt aui unanimous eclaratiGii against the existing administration. In conclusion. Mr. Gladstone expressed the opinion that it was the duty of the Liberals to prosecute this great and patriotic purpose, and to obtain justice for Ireland, knowing that by a courageous application of Liberal principles they would secure tho union of the classes, tbe dominion of the law, and the stability of tbe crown. JCheers.l PLEDGES OP THK IRISH PARTY. Mr. Gladstone also made an address in the Gaiety Theater, which was packed to the doors. In tbe course of his remarks the ex-Premier expressed entire confidence in the future of Liberalism. He pointed out with regard to the Irish members that each had entered Parliament subject to a pledee that, on every question affecting Ireland, the minority should sacrifice its own opinions and co-operate with the majority. Every member of the Irish party from the leader downard was bound by this pledge. It was the only means by which the Irish party had arrived at great power and inlinence. It was true, be continued, that in October. 181)1. he denounced Parnell in tho severest terms, whereas for several years since he had been in active co-operation with him. He had denounced him because Parnell, on more occasions than one, especially in a speech in America, had used language dangerous to the emnire respecting a total separation of Ireland, and also because Parnell had bitterly opposed tho laud act npon which the Liberals relied as a great instrument for redressing Irish grievances. But after Mr. Parnell returned to tbe House of Commons from Kilmainham jail be Gladstonel never heard of his repeating that dangerous lan en a ire zeaardiuff separation and he

had co-operated with tho government ia

giving efloct to the land act. When the home-rule bill was introduced in the House it wasfrankly and magnanimously adopted by the Irisb party. The plan was based on the twin ideas of lirst handing over to Ireland a full, efficacious control of her local atlairs, aud, second, maintaining an equally full, etlicacious imperial control over those affairs. "If any ftesh plan of homo rule is proposed, as I trust it may be." continued Mr. Gladstone, "I hope it will be founded on rigid fidelity to those bases, neither of which can be justifiably separated from tbe other. We worked on those bases from 186 to the winter of lfcOO, with the result that upon the uncertain chances of byeelections we gained sixteen seats cheers, and obtained a moral certainty that if Parliament dissolved we should obtain a large and commanding majority for tbe purpose of converting Ireland into a blessing and a source of strength to England, instead of a source of embarrassment. Then came the painful divorce revelations and it became the duty of the Liberals to consider upon what rules and principles they should bestow their votes. The Liberal party know well that the carrying of home rule depends npon them. Mr. Parnell recently said: 'It may be time to think of Tory allies.' They played that game once and it did not answer. If it were possible for the Tories to give Ireland a home-rule measure according to the definition 1 have given of home rule, I would be delighted to support it, just as if it were a Liberal measure. But the Tory conscience does not care mnch about home rule; it is not iu the Tory intellect. The Liberal party never entered into the question as to whether Mr. Parnell should resign his seat in Parliament; that was a question for the Cork constituency. But the Liberals look forward to the coming crisis. They were working for a majority in tbe coming Parliament which would give home rule. If there had been no divorce rovelatious that home rule would have meant making Mr. Parnell the constitutional leader of Ireland, but after the revelations tho Liberals considered whether they would still place the constitutional leadership in Mr. Paruell's hands, and they decided they would not do it. Prolonged cheering. PREFERS DEFEAT TO PAUNELLISM. "That was the conviction of the Liberal party in December, and their conviction is now even more strongly held, Cheers.1 That is final. We are ready to face defeat, exclusion from power and political misfortune, but we will not create a constitutional leadership for Ireland under such guidance. Cheers.1 No consideration will make us ascnt to that. Next came tbe election of a leader. I should have thought that if one thing more than another would absolutely control the party it was the election of a leader. A political party not authorized to chooso its own leader is a contradiction in terms. The minorit3 however, took a different view, while the majority steadily objected, and finally decided that Mr. Parnell should no longer be. tho leader of the Irish, and the Irish have now to judge this important question. 'Regarding tho American manifesto, Mr. Parnell appears to have put into it many questionable claims, and to have reckoued upon sources of strength which he does not, perhaps, possess. I was struck by one omission, Mr. Parnell forgot to inform the Irish-Americans that be now has the support of the Tory press and most of the Tories in England. He ought to have specified that when making an inventory ot his resources. Laughter. I hope the decision of the Irish people will bo prompt and clear, because 1 can conceive of nothing more injurious to the Irish cause and imperial interests than the continuance of a condition of affairs which gives the slightest excuse for saying that it is not yet clear what Ireland's convictions are. "It has been said that the action of the Liberal party must undergo some immediate change owing to the events which have recently taken place1 iu Ireland. That idea has a very limited acceotance within the ranks of the Liberals. The late election in Hartlepool showed that tho Liberals were never more solid, never more self-possessed or more determined to prosecute tue march, as a united house, towards the attainment of the great object. The efforts of the minority in the House of Commons have resulted in an improvement of the treatment of Irish prisoners. I regret that Dillon and O'Brien have been placed in jail, but as far as I know at present, they have nothing to complain of in regard. to the treatment which they receive' . in conclusion, Mr. Gladstone condemned the action which Mr. Balfour had taken in dealing with assemblies in Ireland.

THE UNION PACIFIC'S DIFFICULTIES. Couference of Oiliclal and Employe A New Schedule Presented. Omaiia, Neb., March 17. A committee of trainmen from the Pacific division of tho Union Pacific railway was in consultation with Assistant General Matager Holcomb to-day. No settlement was reached, and it is difficult to say how long the conference will continue. The men havo presented a schedule for regulating the pay of trainmen on the Pacific division, and ask that it bo adopted. Tbe schedule does not meet with tho approval of General Superintendent Holcomb, however, and he is having statistics prepared to convince the committee that men on their division are being treated fairly under present arrangements. Tbe committee claims that living wages cannot be made under the present schedule, and they have presented a schedule which will practically result in giving them 25 and 26 cents an hour for conductors aud brakemen, respectively, on the western end of the Pacifio division, and 40 and SO cents per hour on the eastern end of the division. The men have been paid on practically the same basis as those on the Kansas and Nebraska divisions. Working-men Protest Against a Verdict. Chicago, March 17. The verdict of capital punishment given by the Pittsburg jury against the three strikers. Andrew Todt, George Russnockand Mitchell Sabat, for the murder of Michael Qiiinn. who had taken the place of one of the strikers, has stirred up the working men of Chicago, and was tbe occasion for a meeting last night at which delegates from several labor organizations were present, c'omo' hrey speeches were made, particularly by the German delegates, and the statement that "the capitalistic power would not be permitted to trample on the head of honest labor" was vigorously applauded. Some cooler speeches placed the question in a different light. In one it was said: "It is not a question between capital aud labor, but a question as to whether three iuuocent men shall be hanged for tho crime of another. Passion will not do. The laboring men must come out of 'this meeting calmly, and like men protest against the execution of this verdict." It was decided' to bold a mass meeting of united labor April 5, at Battery D or Second Regiment Armory for tne purpose of formally protesting against tho verdict of the Pittsburg jury. Coke Strike Continued. Scottdalk, Pa., March 17. The sixth week of the big coke striko was inaugurated to-day, and promises to continue for several months. A meeting of the executive board of mine-workers was held her5 this evening, and it was unanimously decided to continue the struggle until next August, if necessary to win. The wants of hungry families are to be supplied out of the defense fund, which is increasing. In addition to the $9,000 received by the local assemblies of the region yesterday, 0,000 more is assured next week. Convention or Coal-Miners. PiTTSBUHG, March 17.

GREAT FIBE AT NEW YORK

Two Million Dollars' Worth of Property Destroyed in Four or Five Hours. Benjamin is Co., Wholesale Clothiers, the Heaviest Losers A Furious Blaze, Fanned I j a Stiff Breeze Panic Among Employes. Special to the IndisnsDOhs Journal. New York, March 17. Shortly after 5 o'clock this evening fire started in the eight-story building at Greene and Bleecker btreets, occupied by Alfred Banjamin & Co., wholesale clothiers, and in two hours the great structure was a mass of ruins. The loss on building and stock is estimated at about 2,000, 0(XX. There were 350 employes at work in the building when the fir broke out and great excitement prevailed. One hundred girls were at work on the top lloor. When they saw . the smoke pouring in volumes from tho shaft there was a panic. Several of them screamed "fire" and the next minute the hundred were scrambling over each other to the stairway, screaming and pushing. They reached the street in safety. Tbe employes on the other floors had received the warning and rushed out of the building. The firemen were greatly retarded in their work by the dense smoke which issued from the cellar, and it was some time before the actual seat of tne lire could be located. There were numerous shafts and air pipes in the building. These acted as Hues, and when the flames nnally broke out they spread with such rapidity that the entire building was soon enveloped in tire. Six alarms had been sent out and a score of streams were turned on tbe building, but to no purpose. Flames shot through the root fully fifty feet high and out of every window in the Greue-stieet side. There was a stirl breeze from the southeast which fanned the tlnmes into fury. It was a sight seldom witnessed. The flames reached the cornice-work at the edge of the roof and a livid blue liame, caused by some chemical in the composition of the cornice, encirjled the building. It gave tho impression that the building haaon a living blue fiery collar. The sight was a teiribly grand one. At 0 o'clock the roof tumbled into tho fiery furnace with a crash which sent myraids of sparks flying iu every direotion. The firemen had already turned the streams on surrounding property and a spread of the conflagration was averted. Five minutes later tne sides of the building above the third story swayed and fell into Greene street. It was nearly a minute after the Greene-street wall fell when the Bleeckerstreet wall swayed to and fro and fell with the noise of thunder in the street. There was no one within fifty feet of it. A six-story building adjoining on tho east and occupied by M. II. Kosonstein, ostrich feathers, was the next to succumb to tho flames, when it then moved on to the double brick building owned and occupied in part by Hammerslough, Saks & Co., clothiers, o'n the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and eoventh floors, and by E. C. Connell & Co., hatters, on the lower floors. Meantime the fire had extended on the Greene-street side to the six-story, twenty-hve-foot-front brick building occupied partly by Kosonstein and partly by Sylvester, Levacher & Co., manufacturers of hats, caps and furs. The building extended through to Mercer street, and the lire speedily forced its way on that street of the structure. It looked as if the whole block was doomed, but at 10 o'clock the firemen had the flames well in band, and there seemed to be no danger of its snreadinflr further. The losses roughly estimated are as follows: Benjamin & Co., building, $400,000; stock. $450,000. They bad nearly $200,000 orders for spring suits making up. and, in addition, carried a large stock of overcoats and smokingjackets. The building was built eight years ago by Isador Cobnfeld, the feather manufacturer, and knowu as the Cohnf eld's Folly. Later he failed, and about four years ago Alfred Benjamin moved into it. llammerslough, Saks & Co. lose $100,000 on tho building and $250,000 on their stock. M. 11. Kosenstein. building. $225.0CO; stock, $5.1,000. E. V. Connell & Co., hatters, $75,000. In the rear building, owned by Mr. Mackey, and valued at $150,000, Sylvester Levacher & Co. lose $150,000. M. V. Schwartsand other 'tenants in the rear building sutler losses estimated at $155,000. Blaze at Kashvltle, Ind. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Rushvillk, Ind., March 17. A fire broke out iu this city about noon to-day, resulting in serious loss of property. Two buildings on Main street were destroyed and others badly damaged, and it was with great difficulty tho tire was subdued. The loss will be about $3,000. Other Fires. Cincinnati, O., March 17, The paper warehouse of Bienenger& Co., on Walnut street, this city, was damaged to the amount of $10,000 to-night. Insurance, $11,000. Bodman & Co.. in the same building, wero damased to the amount of $20,000; insurance unknown. New Hampton, la., March 17. The town of North Washington, eight miles north of here, was almost destroyed by tire last night. The loss is estimated at $60,000. The tire is supposed to have been the work of incendiaries. OUR WRECKED WAR-SHIPS. The Tag Trians Going to Pieces and the Steamer Galen in a Perilous Position. Vineyard Haven, Mass.. March 17. The United States tugTriana, ashore at Cuttyhunk, will become a total wreck. The wrecking agent, who returned from Cuttyhunk last evening, reports the steamer fast going to pieces. When he left there her houses and upper works were coming ashore. Her stern apparently rests upon the rocks with her bo w standing downward. She had four marine divers on board when stranded and their diving apparatus is now aboard the wreck. A violent southwest wind blew all day yesterday, bringing in a heavy. ocean swell, making it extremely rough where the wrecked vessels lie. Nothing has as yet been saved from the Galena, tbe weather not permitting tbe wrecking lighters to work alongside. The Boston Tow-boat Company's wrecking lighter aud apparatus are harbored at Tarpaulin cove, awaiting the first favorable opportunity to get to Uayhead. The chances are still considered favorable for floating tbe tug Nina. Lieutenant-commander Bicknell has received orders to transfer the crews to the nearest available port and will probably send them by tug to Newport as soon as the weather moderates. Telegraphic communication with the main land from Vineyard Haven ceased early last evening. A peculiar coincidence iu connection with the wreck of these three vessels is that on March 16, 1889, two years ago yesterday, three other vessels were destroyed at Apia, Samoa, bv the great three days' hurricane. The peculiar circumstances connected with the disasters is that Lieutenant-commander Lyon, who commanded the Triana, was the executive officer of the Trenton when she was wrecked, and Ensign Field, of the Galena, was on the Nipsic when she went ashore at Apia.

ROUND OF EXTE11TAIX3HEXT8. Professor Jlovey'a Lecture on the Beauties of Tvro Indiana Caves. The High-sohool Hall last night was well filled with students and &dult friends, who were attracted by the illustrated lecture by Prof. Horace C. Hovey, of Bridgeport, Conn., on the Wyandotte 'and Marengo caves. Tho lecturer, an enthusiasts explorer of snbtcrranean recesses, has a graphio power of description as well as an eye for beautiful views. The rapid saccession of views was accompanied by a narative of nnnsnal interest. Wy and otto cave, he said, was discovered bv white men in 1312, bat his researches led him to believe that aborigines knew of its exist enceand utilized it thousands of years ago. It has twenty-tbreo miles of channels and five separate entrances. Tbe lecturer described the stalactites and stalagmites, the chemical composition of which is gypsum, and gave a remarkable view of tho silver shower in Marengo, which is smaller, but not less beautiful, than Wyandotte cave. This shower is of a million or more translucent stalactites, which glow in the light with exceeding brilliancy. Milroy's temple, discovered by a Wabash student of that name, was also pictured, and disclosed wonderful beauty. Tho entrance to this temple is only twenty-one inches wide, and the straits in which a fat Irish wit, of the lecturer's acquaintance, found himself in attempting to enter and leave the apartment were humorously told In closing. Professor Hovey exhibited a number of attractive views of Niagara Falls, which abounds in the winter season in caverns, stalactites and stalagmites of ice, quite similar in appearance to those in Wyandotte and Marengo caves. The St. Paul ice palace was also depicted on the canvas. Medical College Commencement. The commencement exercises of tbe Central.

The first presentation of the National Pageant for which the ladles of Roberts Park Church havo been arranging for weeks will occur at Tomlmson Hall to night. It will be a series of scenes illustrating notable events in American colonial, revolntionary and national history. Some of them have been outlined in previous notices, but one that will doubtless win special favor of the audience will be that picturiug the lauding of the Pilgrims. In it can be seen tho coast and the Pilgrims wending their way along it singing their thanksgiving. In this scene Mr. Jos. Keeling, as Governor Carver; Mr. Frank Mnncbard. Mrs. Carver; Mr. Will Robinsou, Miles Standish. and Dr. D. A. 'Ihompscn. Magistrate, will take part. Th colonial series of scent s will close with tho banishment of Ann Hutchinson, that character being sustained by Miss Ora W ilkens. Tiikre Is danger in impure blood.
