CONSERVATIVES GIVEN A
NEW LEASE OF POWER.
The Weakness of the Opposition a
Surprise to All Dortl Rosebery's
' Bid for the Labor Vote Glad
stone's Rapid Recovery
Cruisade Against the
Peers The Queen's
Birthday.
Loxdon, May 26. The Govera'aient,
strengthened by a series of defeats of
the opposition on the budget, now hope
to pilot their way through the session.
The sudden weakness displaved bv the
w r
opposition has been t surprise all around
Various causes have been assigned for
this, but probably mone of tfeem assign
the real oee. Tho Unionist whips say
ihat no sbrenuoea effort has vet been
mf
made on their part to muster the fell
strength of their party, the leaders pre
ferring to bide their time until seme
other contentious proposals are up for
consideration.
The truth is, however, that a section of
the Uaiomst party, cfciefly Unionist
Liberals, decline to follow the lead of
the Tories in offering root and fcranch
opposition to the budget, and will not
allow themselves to be controlled by the
Toryleades merely or their gratifica
tion tin annoying the Government. Lord
Salisbury eagerness to defend the
interest of the . land owners has
effected the estates duties propo
sals. In this course the 'Conserva
tive - exiPremier has not thesympathy
of thefollers of Mr. Chamberlain and
tiaeLoiadon and ofcher urbait Conserva
tive members, . with i eehngs similar to
to those of the Unionists, harre been vot
ing'with the opposition only under strong
compulsion. Numbers of -these gentle
men have absented themselves rather
than vote against' their convictions.
'On the other band, the Welsh malcon
tents are abandoning their menaced;
ihostality to the Government and return
ing to their allegiance to the Liberal
(party.
The Redmoadites (Parnellites) have
over-reached themselves. They have
split over their irreconcilable policy and
.pert of them now vote with the Con
servatives and -part with the Govern
ment.
i Unless the position thu3 outlined shall
cnange materially, oi wtoicn there is no
indication, the budget out of danger.
With the subsidence of the storm and
the consequejsfl lessening of: the likaeli
.hood of an immediate crisis, the talk
x dissolution is , less - frequently . heard .
Some oversanguine supporters of tiie
Government cow express their belief
that the ministry of . Lord Rosebery rill
hold on until tiie programme outlined at
the begmnuag-cf the session is completed,
but the ministerial preparations all point
-ito a dissolution in July. Balfour, speak
ing before the Junior Constitutional club
'last evening, predicted that the ciroum
Instances wouictebecome too strong for ihe
ministry before many.aionths.
With a view of securing the labor vote
in the next general eleclons, Lord Rose
bery has made overture to John Burns,
'K. P., and other leading laboring men
a the sub jecfrcf their i accepting office
'in the Cabinet, j : Burns was offered a
tpost in the Minigtry andreport says that
he declined it wisth thanks. With Barns'
frefusal, tbe project of appointing aee
pesehtativos.df the laboring classes to
seats in the Cabmet has been dropped,
vbct if the aext elections confirm .the
Liberal party'e 4ease of ;ower the re
ceastituted "Government will certainly
contain two la bar a-epr esestati ves .
The committee-ef the National Reform
-union has prepared a resolution wfaioh
win be submitted, to theeonf erenoe f
the union on June 5th, ioclaring that
Ihe House of Lords must be abolished.'
Apparently under the realization that I
the.tlemand for the Aotal abolition of the
Upper House putting it & little strong
thecxesolutioQ goes on to ay that Cher
Government ought to introduce in:
the , House of Commons during thet
present seeeiisn a bill depriving;
tue ifeeers ot toe power to reject or alter
any bill that has 'twice, passed the House
of Commons. The eojermousmumber of '
adhesions to the anion from al parts of
the eojintry will naake the union a very
forooidable body and -compel the Na
tional illiberal federation to .advocate
stroagar anti Lords, measures tihan that
organisation is now committed to. .Any
milder taeatment of the Jxrds will fail
to satiefj" the Radicals.
According to the conservative report,
Sir WiUiam Harcouct, Chancellor. of the
Excheqpur4 has made a huge blunder in
the budgei. Under .the calculation of
the treasuy ofliciais, Sir William etated
in the Haue of Commons that the es
tate duty would realize for the cuurent
vear an inorease of jLjQ0Q.06O, As the
result ? of inquiry instituted by Jxrd
-Ralisburv. it is shown that the increase
vwill not'be 000,000 but probably 10,
000,000 Lord Salisbury communicated
txis discovery ito the Chancellor of tke
E?hequer, but Sir William contests the
ex-Premier's estimate and adheres to hk
own statement.
The recent disclosures affecting A. J.
Mundella, late pssident of the board of
trades Sir John L Gorst, Sir James Fer
gusson and H. & Foster, Member of
Parliament, has raised the question as to
the position of the directors of private
corporations and companies in Parlia
ment. John Burns has intimated his
intention to renew his proposal that no
member of Parliament shall be permit
ted to serve as a director in any com
pany. Everybody versed in the inner
workings of the House of Commons
knows that members who are "also di
rectors in corporations work in concert
in carrying through or defeating bills
affecting their private interests.
Gladstone's recovery from the effects
of the operation performed upon his eye
has been so marvellously swift than
many of his colleagues are hopeful that
he will resume public life in the early
autumn,and take part in the election con
test. The Queen celebrated her birthday at
Balmoral yesterday in a very quiet man
ner. After the family dinner in the
evening Her Majesty was entertained
with tableaux vivants in which Prince

COL. W. C. P. BRECKINRIDGE.
His Reception by t he People of Old
ham County His Speech to His
Constrtnents.
Lexington, Ky., May 26. Cok Breck
inridge arrived at La Grange at 11 o'clock
this morning and was met at the depot
by Capt. J. P. Adams, clerk of Oldhaia
county. He was taken to the home of
Mr. J. W. Russell, who gave a splendid
reception to the Ashland Congressman.
Hkept open house and entertained Col.
Breckinridge .and his friends in a royal
manner. After an elegant Kentucky
dinner had been partaken of Col. Breck
inridge went to the court house, which
was filled to overflowing, half the voters
of the county being present. At 2:30
o'clock hebegan his speech and spoke
far over an hour amid the wildest ap
plause . He began by stating that he had
come from Washington to speak to his
friends in Oldham county. They were
his friend and they were his brothers.
They had honored him in the -past and
for that" he was deeply grateful. - In his
ten years of service as their Represents
tive there never was a time when he
had not tried to ser ve tthemto'the best of
his ability. At the same time he wore
no man's collar and he was an
enemy of all kinds of jobs. Fr this he
was detested and hated by the monopo
lists and in this way he had earned the
ill will and hostility of the high protec
tion tariff men. Whatever of ability
and success he had achieved,; it had been
done in the name of the people of Ash
land district. His words, is.o matter
how stammering, were always listened
to, because he was the Representative
of a great people; therefore his words
always had weight. However eloquent
may he the ambassadors of a pretty
African King, their words would not
have the weight of & stammering Moses
who represented the jgreat Jehovah. He
did not come as a beggar, pleading for
votes; tie did not come"as a pauper, ask
ing the help, but he came as the Repre
sentative of the people to render an ac
count cf his services and to ask at their
hands, if they saw fit to. give it
to him. a renewal of their confidence.
He knew that there was work in life for
him to do, whether in or out of Congress,
and it ras for the people of his district
to say' whether or cot it should be as
their Representative. The action of the
Democratic commitfrao in Frankfort yes
terday7as no surpriee to him, as he
knew before hand what they would do,
for having been a close Representative
of the,-people it was natural that the
committee should aets it did. -2Tor the
nearer you come to hegreat, pulsing,
throbbing heart of theipeople, the nearer
you come to the truth, and right, and
when thev determine -upon what is to be
done no party machinery can thwart
them anfi. no power of fparty machinery
can force them to do that which is
against the will of the ..people. When
ever the ipeople are in .conflict with the
machine ri is that much worse for the
machine.

kthat after the election of 'Cleyeiand.for
vthe first time, the Democratic party re

ing the courageous letter of "Clevelandj
who, in the f aee of that defeat, dared to
oromuleate Ithe doctrine of the Demo-4
crattc partV .cn tariff reform. On
the verv dar lightning flashed
the story at Cleveland'-s defeat
to "ashingtons he pledged to Mr.
Cleveland his sujonport four veers from
that time. He told how he talked to the
people of seventeen different States, edu
cating .them up to ;the idea of tatiff re
form, and how thie-educationhacleaused
the people- to triumphantly elect Mr.
Cleveland to a second term.
He appealed to the people of the dis
trict as to whether be, -should go baek to
Congress ex not whetker they should do
so without inside interference or influ
ence. At this point a voice in the crowd
shouted; "Ike Courier Journal can beat
you."
This raised a perfect storm of applause
and when it had subsided Col. Breckin
ridge said:
S.'They tell you that Charles Stewart
Parnell was turned out of Parliament.
Can anybody give the name of his suc
cessor?" -
This sally brought down the house
and for five minutes unrestrained enthu
siasm held complete sway. The speaker
then referred to his war record in such a
touching manner that many of the old
Confederate soldiers present shed tears.
He never referred to the preachers nor
to the newspapers.
After the speaking he was detained
for twenty minutes shaking hands with
th people who crowded around him.

Makes a Sweeping Denial The

ized Complete Victory .
for Postmaster Cul
lingworth. Washington, May 26. The sugar in
vestigating committee at its meeting to
day decided that it would stop the tak
ing of further testimony and have that
so far taken printed, and submit a re
port thereon to the Senate. If this can
be done by Monday the committee will
then report to the Senate that it has
reached a point where it finds itself un
able to compel witnesses to testify and
will ask the Senate what course it shall
pursue. . Just what the nature of the re
commendation will be, the committee
has not determined, but it is understood
that themajority is in favor of a recom
mendation for an of order arrest.
Mr. Bourke Cockran, of New York to
day made a sweeping denial of Corre
spondent Walker's statements before the
committee as published yesterday. ' He
asserted that he had never made such a
statement as that attributed to 5 him by
Mr. Walker or had said anything that
sounded in any way like it. He asserted
that he had never told Mr. Walker that
any person high in Democratic authority
had. informed him (Cockran) that the
Sugar trust had made a subscription to
the campaign fund. He said he could
not have o informed Mr. Walker for he
did not know it and does not know it
now. He add6d, in conclusion, that he
waa not the attorney for the Sugar trust
and never had been. ,
Secretary Lamont completely re-organized
the ; War Department to-day
without previous notice. There bad
been rumors that many changes were in
prospect, but no one expected such a
sweeping upturning of the official force.
The many assistants to the bureau offi
cers, such as assistant adjutant general,
quartermaster general, etc., are ione
away with and these officers, aM of
whom hold commissions in the army,
will be assigned to duty elsewhere. An
exception is made in the case of the
judge advocate general's office, the
force of which is increased and hereafter
all department law business will be con
ducted there instead of merely legal
matters pertaining to the army. . One
divijton in the department is abolished
and thirty-seven of its clerks transferred
to the record and pension office. The
bureaus are reduced to divisions. .
Fiiet Assistant Postmaster General
Jones has acted on the report made by
the representative of the Civil Service
Commission who 'investigated the
charges of alleged violations of the Civil
Service law by Postmaster Cullingworth,
of the Richmond, Va. , postoffice, by
making appointments with out examina
tion to places in that office which the
postmaster insisted were excepted from
examination. Mr. Jones in his letter
concludes that in addition to the places
about which there is no-question , of ex
emption, the following can be filled by
appointment of the postmaster without
examination: Money-order clerks,
mailing and night registering clerk, box
clerk, two registry clerks and one night
distributor and box cleark.
The Supreme court of tthe United States
to-day rendered its decision upon the ap
plication of Mrs. Belva A. lockwood for
a rule against the Virginia Court of Ap
peals to show cause why they should not
admit her to practice before that tribu
nal. Chief Justice Fuller announced
that Mrs. Lockwood's application must
be denied' en the ground that it was com

to finally determine upon the eligibility
of persons, to practice before it.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
COL. HOGE OBJECTS.
He Does Not .Xjike the Way ja Demo
cratic Editor Handles His Name
and a Fight Ensues.
Roanoke, Va May 26. Col. J. Hamp
ton Hoge, late Consul to Amoy, China,
but who was re-called before he had
completed his alleged trans-continental
jag, made another sensation in this city,
his home, to-night, but striking an edi
tor of an afternoon paper whom he
claimed had been publishing slanderous
articles about him. The editor in ques
tion was Charles I. Stewart, of the Even
ing World, a prominent young Democrat-
being a member of the party's city
committee. Since Col. Hoge's flop to the
Republican ranks the Evening World
has, in reporting the political speeches
of the colonel and by editorial comment,
made numerous allusions which appar
ently did not set well upon his con
science. To night the two men met in
front of the Times office for the first
time since CoL Hoge's return. Col. Hoge
was discussing with a friend the result of
Thursday's election, in which the party
with which he has just allied himself
had been so nearly victorious, while
Mr. Stewart was walking by conversing
with the city sergeant. ; CoL Hoge's
friend pointed Mr. Stewart out as the
editor who had been using his name in a
political foot ball fashion and the colonel
thereupon called to him and a brief con
versation occurred. CoL Hoge remarked
that Mr. Stewart had been using his
name in a manner offensive to him, all
of which he had patiently borne, but in
the future he would hold him personally
responsible.
Mr. Stewart's reply was: "I am re
sponsible, sir."
"Yes," replied Col. Hoge, "and you
are responsible for that which you have
published, nine-tenths of which are d d
lies." '
. The colloquy ended here. Mr. Stewart,
white' with rage, raised his fist in the
direction of Col. Hoge's piercing black
eyes, but the blow fell snort, being par
ried by Col. Hoge's right, while his left
swunsr ur with force and raniditv and
landed upon Mr. Stewart's under lip, cut
ting it badly.
i Before Mr. Stewart had a chance to
strike again, his friend, the city sergeant,
seized him and called for some of the
spectators to hold Col. Hoge. The latter.
however, made no further attempt and
after struggkng for a few seconds Mr.
Stewart too -quieted his fighting propen
sities, and the colonel nnished by ex
pressing his opinion of the belligerent
young editor in no complimentary terms.
The two then walked off with their
friends and Col. Hoge afterwards paid
his respects to a "number of others who
have in a tdastardly, cowardly manner,
been using my name behind my back,
not one of whom has the courage to
come forward and say anything in my
presence. I denounce all such utter
ances, either public or private, as the say
in gs of miserable, recreant cowards."
DISCUSSING THE STRIKE.
Citizens of Birmingham Meet and
Discuss the Situation Resolu
tions Adopted. Troops
in Camp.
Birmingham, May 26. An immense
throng of all shades and positions in life
gathered at the Winnie Davis wigwam,
this city, to-day to discuss the present
situation between the mine operators
and the miners. There were a large
number of representative citizens of this
city present, and the meeting was pre
sided over by B. Steiner, senior member
of the banking firm of Steiner Bros.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
the check system and other evils now ex
is ting and a committee was appointed to
try and effect a settlement of the strike
also a committee to wait on the railroad
employes and ask them to refuse to haul
coal cut by scabs or convicts, uooa
order prevailed and everything passed
off harmoniously. '"
The troops of the Second regiment were
ordered into camp last night by - Gov
ernor Jones. The camp is named in
honor of the lamented Forney and is at
EnsleyjJCity, six miles from this city.
Rigid discipline will . be adhered to.
While no present trouble is anticipated
with the strikers, it was thought the
massing of troops would tend to keep
down trouble, thus causing the Gov
ernor to order thejencampment earfier
than usual. . i -
The First and Third regiments will
also be ordered here after the expiration
of ten days.
Two Negroes Lynched.
New Orleans, May 26. A special to
the Southern Associated Press, from
Jackson, Miss., says: Henry Smith and
Will James, two negroes, were lynched
last night near Clinton, ten miles west of
here. ' They had broken into some stores
in the country and last night were car
ried by an officer to Clinton, who in
tended taking them to Raymon to-day
and lodge them in jail. They were
placed in the rear of a store .as the best
available place to keep them, and during
the night an armed mob entered, took
the negroes out and hanged them. The
lynching was a great surprise and is
6trongly condemned by the best citizens.
A STATE OF WAR.
ALL THE COLORADO STATS
TROOPS CALLED OUT.
Including JBattery of Gatling Gnns
The Situation Growing More
Serious Two Men Killed The
Striken Well Armed and
Determined Clearing
the Country of
Spectators. . -
Denver, Colo., May 26. The exciting
scenes of to-day in Cripple Creek re
sulted in the death of two men, William '
Bibeau,a deputy sheriff, who had some
weeks ago been driven out of the camp-
by the miners who held a grudge against
him for his pernicious activitv andl
bluster, and George Crowley, a well-
known miner. Several more miners
were injured, but as they have been
carried into the stronghold on Bull
mountain, their injuries cannot be
learned.
The result of the reports of the day
determined Governor Waite at sundown
to call out the entire militia of the State,.
including the Chaffe Light artillery with
their Gatling eruns and smooth bores.
They are ordered to start as soon as the
crams are prepared, and they will go
via Florence. The militia will be di
rected by Adjt. Gen. Tareney in the ab
sence of Brig, (Jen. Brooks from tne
State. Capt. Kinkaid, of the Chaffe
artillery, went down to v Colorado-
Springs yesterday to serve the cannon.
sent out by the sheriff of El Paso county
and he has been relieved trom : the duty
with the Chaffe artillery accordingly.
A meeting of the captains of the First ;
regiment is called at the armory, and it.
is rumored that they will consider the
propriety of declining to obey the orders L
to go out against the miners. The militia
cannot get away before daylight. The
Second regiment, headquarters of which
are in Pueblo, consists of companies .
scattered all over the southern and west
ern portions of the State, and it will re
quire some time for them to get together.
The Governor issued also a proclama--tion
calling upon all good citizens in in
surrection in the Cripple Creek district
to lay down their arms and disperse. In
a lengthy address he recites the consti
tutional provisions relating to the assem
bling of armed bodies of men, showing,
that the sending of armed bodies of men
sent from Denver and other counties to
El Paso county is in direct violation of
the law and must not be done. He de
clares that the' sheriff must call
in only citizens of his own county
to assist in serving papers or,
putting down riot and when he fails to
preserve order, seek aid of the Governor.
He then reviews the previous call of ihe
sheriff and his action in sending down-,
the milita. He ignores the sheriff now
and orders the troops to go to the scene -to
preserve order and peace without at- -tempting
to protect the property of cor
porations or individuals.
What effect this proclamation and
this ordering out of troops will have -upon
the sti ikers gathered on Bull Hill
cannot b8 predicted. They have, during ;
