The House to3ay took up consideration of the sundry civil b!21.ani disposed of fifteen of the cne hundred pages before adjournment. During1 the general debate, Mr. Cannan. the present head cf the appropriations committee, and hi3 pre lessor, Mr. Sayers, of Texas, interchanged -Opinions as to present and past appropriations. Mr. Cannon, in the course of hU remarks, expressed the opinion that the appropriations- for this session could cot fall beJow 000,000. The action of the committee In appropriating1 for contract work only until Marth. 1837. was attacked, but Mr. Cannon Justified It on the ground that the same thing had been done last year in the case of the fortifications bi'.L Bau few amendments iwcre added to the bill to-day. Eight amendments to increase the salaries of lighthouse superintendents from $1,600 to Jl.feOO were adopted. An amusing Incident occurred at the opening of the session. Mr. Grosvenor arose to correct an inaccuracy in the Record. By some mistake, a remark made by Mr. Connelly at the session Friday night about "presidential fuglemen" was omitted from the Congressional Record, but Mr. Grosvenor's rejoinder, which was rather vigorous In its character, appeared without its provoking cause. Mr. Grosvenor's thrust was there, but, as he explained, the Record put him in the ridiculous attitude of slashing at nothing. Mr. Connelly replied that he had not obliterated his remark. He had not been long enough in the House, he said, to learn the trick of editing his speeches. The mistake must have occurred elsewhere. As for the intimation Intended to be conveyed that Mr. Grosvenor was a fugelman" for any presidential candidate, he good-humoredly remarked that he would cheerfully acquit the jrentleman of such a change. Thereat the House laughed, and Speaker Reed, with a twinkle In his eye, announced that the "House would now proceed with the consideration of the public business." The Senate resolution authorizing F. R. Green to exercise the duties and powers heretofore conferred on the late General Casey in relation to the construction of the library of Congress, was adopted. Tne Senate resolution authorizing ex-President Harrison to accept certain medals presented to him by the governments of Brazil and Spain, was also adopted. - The House then went into committee of the whole and took up the sundry civil bill. Mr. idltt, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, gave notice that he would call up the conference report on the Cuban resolutions as soon as the sundry civil bill was out of the way. "Why not take up the report now?" asked some one. "I had intended to ask for Its consideration to-day." replied Mr. Hltt. "but I yielded, owing to the great importance of this appropriation .bill." An' arrangement was effected by which general debate, except on some disputed paragraphs, should be closed in one hour. Mr. Cannon, chairman of the appropriations committee, who was in charge of the bill, briefly explained Its piovlslons. Although this was a great reduction. Mr. Cannon argued that the bill cared for the public service as well, and in some instances better, than the current law. Thls method does not diminish th approSriatlons to be made," interjected Mr. Mcllllln, "tut seems to diminish them for this session." "It doea not diminish them," replied Mr. Cannon, "In other words." said Mr. McMllUn, "it makes a record for this Congress and brings matters over until after the election." Mr. Cannon impatiently denied that there was any political motive behind th action on the appropriations committee. In conclusion! he said he did not think the anmnriatlAn frti- tla Vkoc Irvrt ru-kt i tnlririf into consideration authorizations for naval and river and harbor work, would fall below tC06,000.000. The public service, in his opinion, could not be provided for for two years for less than a billion dollars. Now, however, the government was borrowing, money to pay current expenses. In view of this fact, he appealed to the House to keep down appropriations and be content with carina; for the public service as it existed and not enter upon any new enterprises while this borrowing was going on. Mr. Bayres, ex-chairman of - appropriations, replied at some length to Mr. Cannon. . In a general way he indorsed the items in the. bill, but he declared it was a false pretense on its face. It purport el to be a hill providing for the sundry civil expenses for the ftsral year ending June 30. 1S97. whereas it was admitted that in ail contract work the appropriations did not extend beyond March 3. 1837. He referred to the adroitness with which appropriations aggregating a million dollars had been inserted Into the deficiency bill which properly belonged on this bill. By putting them on the deficiency bill they were charged to the last Congress. He compared the appropriations made by Democratic ,coramittees and those made with Mr. Cannon as the head of the committee on appropriations and said the latter was perhaps trying to make a record for a presidential campaign. After some further remarks the bill was read for amendment under the five-minute rule. Mr. Loud and Mr. McCormlck criticized the salaries provided for superintendents of lighthouse stations. The salaries of superintendents for the coasts of Long island- and Rhode Island. Virginia end North Carolina, lakes Ontario, Erie. Michigan, Huron and Superior and Washington, Oregon and California were increased to $1,800. . The committee arose after completing fif-pajjt-s ui me iua tii.u a.i .t me xiouse j i . . aojoumea. . TOO MICH LAW. The People Who Have the Most Xot the Ilest Governed. M. A. Hamm. In New York Mall and Express. Is It not about time for some of our great literary leaiers to take up arms against the firesent reckless and insane practice of nassng criminal laws upon every subject? Soma al the American people are apparently laboring under the lmpreslon that you make people healthy, good. Intellectual, prosperous, honest and relis-Sms by statutory enactment. and in the1 pst few years they have put upon the statute books the most extraordinary collection of imbecile legislation the world has ever known. It would be well if U:y would have written In large chiractera and hung upon the walls of every home Buckle's tremendous aphorism that the best governed country is the country which is governed the least, and that the best laws are those which repeal pre-existing laws. We have a gigantic criminal code and penal code, we have the largest and r.ios expensive police department known to history, ajd yet on top of this we have created by Uw some eteht or ten utterly Irresponsible soeietles, giving them and their eoiployes greater power than are possessed by the police. One society, for example, his more poaer over the little children of unfortunate parents than the police. thi magistrates, the Supreme Court and the Governor of the State .combined. Another society has the .power to enter a man's house to take a masterpiece of a Raphael or a Michael Angela and confiscate it or destroy It at discretion. If, In the mind of one of their hirelings, the painting is improper, no matter if it were taken from the walls of a church, he can act. The privacy of the home has be?n destroyed, the independence and individuality of the citizen has been corrupted and altnot undermined. .We vaunt our free speech, but if that speech takes the form of an ism which is not approved by the captain of police, it -ua-?nly vanishes under the application of ciuo law. In New York we force children tD learn scientific temperance Instruction; in Michigan they force them to learn first all to the injured. and how to prevent the communication ef diease. and now our vegetarian frie-ils want to have sclentifle vegetarianism taugHt in the schools. The sooner these amateur reformers learn that la follows and 13 made by public morale, and rhit it is Inrapable of creating moral truths and moral conduct, the better it will be fcr our legislation and fcr our people. rtaalnra Kmbarrammrnli.

Lecture by Edward J. Phelpa, Ex-MIn-inter lo England. NEW YORK, March 30,-Hon. Edward J. Phelps, ex-MInister to Great Britain, delivered a lecture before the law department of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, on the Mdnroe doctrine to-night. The speaker began by saying that he had the habit of speaking his mind and after references to the various disputes In which the European nations had been Involved and the possibilities of future disputes, he took up the qutstion of the boundary lines between Venezuela and British Guiana. He referred to it as a matter in which the United States had no personal concern. Great Britain had acquired British Guiana, he said, nearly two centuries ago, and the boundary line had been in dispute for mere than a century. His opinion was that no line existed or ever had existed. It was a ques-thon, he asserted, for peaceful arbitration between the two governments, Great Britain and Venezuela, where the boundary line shou.d now be drawn. International law, he said, was merely international morality and justice formulated through the common Interest cf civilized mankind. There were but two exceptions of the general rule of nonintervention, tho lirst toeing that for humanity, as in the case of Armenia at the present time, and the second in which the interests of our own country are Imperilled. Until this peril was manifest, he declared we had no right to interfere. It had been said that in the present case, in which the Monroe doctrine had been put to the front, It was American policy, but policy is nothing but Interest, and to enforce a policy or command where no right was apparent was to transgress all rights. The enforcement of the Monroe doctrine wrongfully, he declared, is sicnply the act of the bully. No nation can affcrd to set Itself up against the opinion of the world. Dr. Phe'.ps spoke also of the attitude of the United States tQwards Spain, which nation he said was endeavoring to put down a rebel lion of men of tandktl, pillage and arson and murder. CARPENTERS ON STRIKE. Iletflnnlnir nt Chicago of the Struggle for an Eight-IIonr Day. CHICAGO, March 30.-Vhat may develop into a strike which will paralyze the building industry in- Chicago for a long period was begun to-day. So far only about three hundred carpenters are out, but the trouble Is expected to spread until every one of the thirteen thousand carpenters in this city will have ceased work.

The garmentworkers of this city, who have been on strike tor the past live weks, declared the strike off and wili return to work to-morrow. SOUTHERN DELEGATES. A Scandal Which Should Be Taken In Hand by Republicans. Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.) We defy anybody to tell how the bulk cf the Southern delegates will vote at the St. Louis convention. For instance, McKinley is claiming most of the delegates in Alabama. The Reed and Allison people deny the claim. In Florida there is a mixed state of affairs, rwith two eets of delegates. All the MciKnley tables include Florida, and yet the chaxcts are at least equal that the other fellows will be seated In the convention. Texas das dis graced herself with the brawllngs of the bar rooms. . Nearly every Southern delegate Is for sale. We make this- charge boldly, for in every re-, cent convention- boodle has played the winning hand in the South. There is every appearance that history is to repeat itself. Most of these Southerners will go to St. Louis for what they can get out of It. They will demand pesteffices and all sorts of federal appointments. They will take their little bunch of convention admission tickets to the various headquarters and put them up at auction, the understanding being that the candidate! who pays the most gets the votes. In 18b8 John Sherman had tha South with him, or he thought he had. lie was absolutely confident that he would be nominated, but when his managers arrived at Chicago, they discovered that the South had been bought away from them. It was the Alger people who had the cash that time, and Senator Sherman has told all about it in hi3 recent book. The South has so long been a stench in the nostrils of decency that the coming convention should take steps to prevent scandals in the future. There Is only one way to do it, and that is to base representation in a Republican national convention on the number of Republican votes cast. There Is absolutely no sense in permitting a State like Florida to have eight delegates, when four years ago it did not even have a Republican presidential ticket in the field. Why should Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama be allowed to participate In a Republican convention on the same terms as the great Republican States? The St. Louis convention will do a grievous wrong unless it takes hold of this question and settles it upon a common sense basis. One delegate for a congressional district is ample. After that let delegates be chosea one for so many thousand Republican votes cast. We trust that the national committee will bring this matter strongly , to the attention of the convention. That body alone has authority to act. It can make a rule defining representation in the succeeding convention, cr It can refer the matter to the national committee with power. Trlnce of Wales 3Ioncy. Cable Special. A report is current and gains credence in the lo!by cf the House of Commons that the government will ask the House to increase the allowance of 37.000 yearly granted to the Prince of Wales in behalf of his family. 'The request will be made on the ground of the heavy expense of the establishment of the Duke of York, the Prince's son. The Prince of Wales has settled upon him by law an annuity of 40.000. and by an act rsd In 1SS9 receives 37,000 annually In addition for the support and maintenance of his children. He has also as income the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall, which in m yielded him D7.704. The Princess of Wales has settled upon her the annual sum of 10,000, which, in the event of her becoming a widow, will be increased to fSO.OUO annually. Thus the Incomes cf the Prince and Princess cmount to abcut 144.734, or 573.670. Lithographer-) Will Return to Work. NEW YORK. March 30.-The five hundred lithographers In th!s city, who struck seven weeks ago, are jubilant ever the notification that they may return to work, pending the decision cf the committee of arbitration. It is said that little or no concessions have been gained by the strikers. The committee cf arbitration will meet to-morrow, when it is expected the differences will be amicably adjusted. Hint for Platform Builders. Chicago Record. The only apparent way to avoid a serious split on the finance question this year is for one party to take up the cause of the bicycle and Incorporate a platform demanding frood roads and deploring and denouncing the infamous efforts of the opposition to irevent this noble reform.

OPPOSED TO SILVER

RESOLITIOXS ADOPTED BY MAXUFACT THE RS OF PHILADELPHIA. Wharton , Darker Sat Down On Hotv Tickets for the Republican Convention Will Re Distributed. PHILADELPHIA, March 30. The Manufacturers' Club of this city held a meeting to-night, at which strong resolutions were adopted opposing: the free and unlimited coinage rf silver. The meeting was, peihaps, the largest In point of attendance that the club has ever held. No sooner had the president's gavel rapped than Mr. John Converse offered a resolution to limit speeches to live minutes. This caused considerable excitement, and, after some discussion, an amendment to increase the limit to ten minutes was adopted. Rudolph Blankenburg, In a most Impassioned speech, presented these resolutions, which were the ones subsequently adopted: "Resolved. That tho Manufacturers' Club, speaking for its members, emphatically denounces as false the statement made by the frie.id3 of free silver, and echoed by those or free trade, that our Philadelphia manufacturers are willing to barter with the silver Senators for the free coinage of silver in exchange for additional protection. "Resolved. That the question of bimetallism can be permanently settled only through an international agreement, and that the Manufacturers' Club declares its unalterable opposition to the free coinage of silver by the United States alone, firmly believing that such a policy would result in disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and would only operate to place this country upon the basis of silver monometallism." He had no sooner finished when a dozen men were on their feet clamoring to be heard. Of these Wharton Barker was recognized. He presented an amendment to the resolutions. It favor-ni the "free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by the independent action of the United States." This precipitated intense excitement, and cries of "No, no" came from all parts of the hall. The chairman had difficulty in maintaining order. Once restored, however, James Dobson obtained the Moor and said: "While I was In Washington I dared to express my convictions. If we cannot have international bimetallism let us go it alone." He then offered a substitute to the effect that the club adopt the declaration of the Minneapolis platform of 1892 and reaffirm It. at the same time expressing an opinion that international cooperation is necessary to the safety of an attempt to restore bimetallism. A further substitute was offered that the club wait until the St. Louis convention announces its platform before any stand be taken. Amid much confusion and excitement both substitutes and the amendments were overwhelmingly defeated and the Blankenburg resolutions were adopted with few dissenting votes. THE ST. LOUIS CO.WEXTIOX. How Ticket 3Iny He Secured by Netmpnper Men and Other. ST. LOUIS, March 30.

Chandler will preside and the committee on resolutions consists of Hon. Henry M. Putney, of Manchester; S. W. Abbott, of Wolfborough, and Henry M. Cheney, of Lebanon. Senator Galllnger made a speech do-night and his reference to McKinley brought forth great applause, showing that there Is a strong sentiment in favor of McKinley among the delegates. The feeling to-night Is that the convention will instruct Its St. Louis delegation for Reed. It Li predicted by a few, however, that the delegation will not be Instructed. Nebraska Republicans. 'OMAHA, Neb., March 30. Though the Nebraska State Republican convention will not be held for two weeks, a majority of the counties have selected delegates, and the complexion of the body is already established. The delegates are largely for McKinley, though some have been Instructed for Senator Manderson. There are not enough of these delegates, however, to cause any fight in the convention, even thougn the members were not disposed to stand by the alleged McKinley-Manderson compromise. Most of the conventions declared In favor of the election of United States Senators by direct vote, for sound money, sympathy for Cuba, liberal pensions and rigid economy in the administration of public affairs. Massachusetts Delejrates. SALEM, Mass., March 30. At the Republican convention for the Sixth congressional district to-day George R. Jewett, of Salem, and Willard J.

There is a ' etrong supposition here that tefcnbassador Bayard is contemplating resigning from his post. While his friends refuse to give any definite particulars, they hint that Mr. Bayard is dissatisfied with the action of Congress, and also that the drain on his private purse necessary to keep up the dignity cf hLs diplomatic position has reached such a point that he can no longer maintain It. The story is not confirmed by his son, Thomas F. Bayard, jr., but certain developments indicate that the embassador means to return to this country for at least an Indefinite period.

Captain Passow also stated that the steamer ran aground during clear weather early Sunday afternoon, and before the fog set in. He declined to state whether he considered the pilot to blame or not.

When Senator Mills delivered his great speech on Cuba In the Senate on Tuesday, a speech described by that competent critic Senator Morgan, of Alabama, as "majestic and splendid and brilliant oratory,' he related an incident that called cheers from the galleries and aroused deep Interest on the floor of the Senate. Mr. M1113 was describing the cruelty of the Spaniards and their habitual murder and violations of women. .Then he drew this contrast: "Mr. President, while thinking of the slaughter, of this girl, who attempted to save her father, there comes up in my mind the recollection of an Incident that occurred In Alabama during, our civil war. A colonel of an Ohio regiment was in command of a district in north Alabama, within whose lines the family of a Confederate officer resided. Sometimes the bold rebel would slip through the lines, undiscovered, and visit his family. On one occasion he was discovered by some one more devoted to the Union than to his personal welfare. Information was given to the colonel commanding the district, who took a half doren of, his men and under cover of night went to the house to capture his Confederate foeman. Arivlng at the house he rushed in the door pistol in hand and found the Confederate soldier in the midst of his family, his pistol and belt lying upon the bureau and within reach of his daughter, a beautiful girl of eighteen summers. In an Instant she grasped her father's pistol to shoot in defense of her father's person. The Colonel sprang forwrard and seized the fistol in her hand to disarm her. Not beng a Spaniard, it never entered his mind to shoot her. In the struggle her pistol fired and she was shot through the hand, but her father, succeeded in making his escape. The gallant officer returned In a few days to see about that wounded hand. He came again to express his profound regrets for that wound and again and again to hope for its early recovery. He did not stop coming till he carried that hand off with him, clasped in his. It is his hand now and has been for thirty years. Around that family hearthstone there stands a group of noble c.-ns ho'f Vnnlree half Southern hilt nil . Americans. We did not shoot women and children. We did not shoot prisoners In our great civil war." Soon after the Senator concluded his speech I met him and inquired regarding the identity of the Ohio colonel and the fair Alabama. Confederate." He told me he referred to an incident In the lives of Colonel S. W. Fordvce and his accomplished wife. Colonel Fordyce Is the president of the St. Louis Southwestern railroad, and is known and loved from the lakes to the gulf. MMMMnMWVMMMW MV A "Wicked Deception. Washington Special to Chicago Record. The thousands of brides who have visited the treasury on their wedding tours and have been allowed to hold in their hands for a few moments the big bundle of money so carefully done up in manllla paper, sealed with great blotches of red sealing wax and marked ,4J2.OO0,0C0," will realize what a wicked and deceptive world this is when they know that the real contents of the package were simply two old census reports. This innocent deception has been carried on for a quarter of a century. When people go into the vaults they always want to handle money. There is an Irresistible tendency to feel of it, and the more valuable the package the greater the temptation. It wasn't considered good policy to allow a large amount of treasure to be passed around among strangers in such a way for fear some one might chloroform the guide and vault keepers and make a break with the package. So curiosity was gratified and the government was protected from any possible loss by making up a dummy and giving it a proper appearance. The secret was well kept until Saturday, when a spiteful employe, who had taeen discharged, gave it away. Let Her lie Enconrnaed. Chicago Times-Herald.

THE FRENCH CRISIS

SENATORS ARE E. RAGED AT THE ACTION OF M. BOURGEOIS. Debate on Interpellation Motions Postponed Till Thursday Long: Session of British Commons. PARIS, March 30. The Chamber has unanimously decided to postpone discussion of interpellations regarding Egypt and the forchm noliev of the covernment until Thursday next. The polUical situation here has not changed and It .s believed that the status auo will be maintained until the d.s cussioa of the gjvcrtmf nfs rolicy i:varla EgyDt comes un in tne Chamber of D:pu ties. One newspaper insists that the resig nation of M. Berthelot was due to ill health and family affliction. The Gaulois pub lishes a sensational statement to the effect that it was the President, M. Faure, who caused the resignation of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. According to the story, M. Faure summoned M. Berthelot to h's study just before the Cabinet council and ap pealed to him to give up his portfolio. It is added that Mr. Berthelot finally surren dered it on the energetic Insistence of the President and consented to retire. The forthcoming debate in the Chamber an I Senate is expected to result in preflt to the government, who count on a majority of eighty. Only a portion of the Centrists desire to seUe the occasion for upsetting the Ministry the others holding that even a Radical Cabinet should be supported at a moment like the present, when opposition is ill-timed and unpolitlc Should the debate take a dangerous turn It is probable that M. De Laneile, a member of the opposition, will speak In support of the Ministry and point out the necessity of giving M. Bourgeois a free hand to deal with the situation. M. Bourgeois was questioned to-day by the budget committee in regard to Madagascar. He said that French products would enter duty free and that the treaties concluded by the Queen of Madagascar had been annulled. Continuing, M. Bourgeois remarked: "The Eowers may complain if they think they ave ground to do so. We have divided the sovereignty, placing internal affairs under local authority, but reserving for ourselves foreign sovereignty. The French magistrates have not, up to the present. Jurisdiction over foreigners." M. Saarien has been appointed Minister of the Interiar. He occupied the eame position in the Freyclnet Cabinet of 188S and in the Tirard Cabinet in 1S87. The Paris correspondent of the London. Daily News says: "Behind the scenes the Senate's resentment , . is hot against M. Bourgeois. He is accused of having manufactured the campaign against the Senate during President Faure's tour In the south of France. The Senators want the country to believe that Russia has waxed cold because a Radical-Socialist government Is In office. This may be true, inasmuch as the late Czar only entered into the French alliance after President Carnot had agreed to govern with the Reactionist Premiers, Casimir, Parleo and Dupuy. It is understood that Baron De Courcel, the Frencn embassador In London, has advised the Senators to prudence. Baron De Courcel denies the renewed report that he has resigned. It is believed that M. Beourgeois wanted M. Hanotaux to take office, but the latter is disinclined to do so. The Senate will discuss M. Berthelofs retirement tomorrow (Tueslay.) M. Bourgeois is not likely to sav much. He will not mind the censure of tbe Senate, but will reserve himself for the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday." . " ZBLAYA'S TERMS REJECTED. Leon Rebels Demand Control of Affairs In McaraRun. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March 30. The Peace Commission, consisting of Dr. Prudente Alfaro. Vice President of Salvador, General :Comans, of Salvador, and Senor Ramlerez, the Nicaraguan Minister lor Foreign Affairs, has returned here from La Paz, where the conference with the repre sentatives of the insurgent Leonists has been held. The terms offered by President Zelaya are understood to have been the absolute surrender of all arms, the payment of all war expenses and the surrender for trial by courtmartial of the leaders of the insurrection. The insurgents not only refused to accept these terms, but they demanded that President Zelaya turn over to them the government of Nicaragua. Consequently, all hope of peace is gone, and the war will be continued with renewed bitterness on tooth sides. There is great excitement here, and steps are being taken to reinforce the troops at the front and begin the advance on Leon so soon as the much-needed supplies of ammunition reach the government forces. There are disturbing rumors in the air. The government Is said to be hard pressed for funds as well as for ammunition, which facts are not unknown to the Leonists, who are understood to be receiving fresh support from Guatemala and from other sources, whlcn may result in complications likely to cause a general war throughout Central America. It is suggested in certain circles here that this is a good opportunity for Intervention on the part of the United States, with the view of bringing about a peaceful settlement of the questions In dispute, as a conflict involving all the Central American republics would put a serious check on business and the development of the natural resources of Central America. OBSTRUCTIVE TACTICS. All-XIffht Session of the British , House of Commons. LONDON, March 31. It was a night of obstruction In the House of Commons. Gibson Bowles, conservative member for King's Lynn, moved that it was the duty of the government to fulfill Its treaty obligations In Turkey. The Right Hon. J. Lowther, Conservative member for the Isle of Thanet, Kent, thereupon attacked'the dealings of Sir Philip Currie, British embassador in xuricey. with the Sultan. There was a long debate on. Mr. Bowles's motion, and it was voted down after Mr. Arthur Balfour, the government leader,, had Invoked the closure. Various subjects were then discussed with a view to obstructing the votes for supply. Mr. Labouchere. at 3 o'clock in the morning, attacked the proposed Nile expedition, and Mr. Balfour replied at length. The House did not adjourn till 4.-50 a. m. Replying, during the evening, to Sir Charles Dilke. member for the Forest of Dean division of Gloucester. Mr. George N. Curzon. the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, said the question whether the government would endeavor to take friendly. Joint action with the United States regarding the threatened action of France in Madagascar, was of great Importance, but the government was not prepared to add anything to the statement made on this subject on Friday last. His Record Was Unknown. LONDON, March 30. There Is much excitement in Irish circles over the election of the Hon. James Burke Roche, brother of Lord Fermoy, to Parliament as the home rule candidate for Klllarney, In East Kerry. The successful candidate was married to a daughter of Mr. Frank Work, of New York, and she secured a divorce from him some years ago. The huband. however, subsequently secured a decree from the British courts declaring the American divorce to be invalid, on the ground that marriage to a British citizen makes a foreign wife subject alone to British laws. A number of allegations have been printed concerning the divorce. The Independent, for example, reproduces copious extracts on the subject from a New York newspaotr. The Freeman says that the conversion which selected Mr. Roche as a candidate was in absolute Ignorance of the charges against his character and admits the necessity of a searching investigation. The Independent to-day says: "It was mainly on Mr. Healy's recomendatlon that Mr. Roche was accepted. It is the worst case of foisting ever known in Ireland." Paid $1.."H n Line for Faddlns;. LONDON, March 30. The suit of the Times against the Central News Company, a concern which supplied a certain agency in the United States, was opened in the Queen's Bench division of the High Court of Justice to-day. The Times "charges that the dispatches regarding the Japanese war which were supplied by the Central News, were in some cases entirely fabricated and in other cases largely altered and expanded, and that by publishing them the Times suffered in reputation. Sir Frank Lock wood ahowe.l. by comparison with the original cable me-aaes, that thr Central News had furnished to the Times and its other clients over 23.0U0 words of padding. This matter was supplied and paid for by the Times at the rate of 6 shillings (S1.D0) per line. There was considerable amusement, coupled with indignation. In court when counsel read the following original cable dispatch, "Wcl-Hal-Wei captured." These two words were expanded at great length, and purported to lve the most
