In the House of Commons today John Dillon, leader of the anti-Paxnellite party, was suspend ed for calling Colonial Secretary Cham berlain a "d d liar" in the course of a debate on the South African war. Sir Henry Campbell-Kannerman, the Liberal leader in the Commons, con . Idemned the government's policy for cloaking the conditions of affairs at the Cape. He demanded full explanation. The Liberal leader also protested against the malignant slanders on Lib eral entice for party purposes. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain re pliedl saying. "Where, above all else, should one look for malignant slanders but across the table." This remark occasioned considerable disorder. Continuing and referring to Campbell Bannerman the. Colonial Secretary .as serted that the former never lost an op portunity for slmdering the country and the soldiers d"f the King. Prolonged uproar greeted this state ment. Mr. Dillon arose and said: "I will tell the right honorable member that tie is a d 4 liar." Silence followed this remark. Such unparliamentary language seemed to stun the House. The speaker invited Mr. Dillon to withdraw the expression but the latter . Bald: "I will not withdraw." The government leader, A. J. Balfour, then said: "I beg to move that" Mr. Dillon be suspended from service in the House." The motion was carried by 218 to 43. ' " $ Receiver Appointed New Haven.. March 20.

Perkins of J. 'P. Morgan a u and - j., w. P. Cioiigh, vice president of , vt-v. Ttilrwid. and also , Northern Securities Co., gave ; ,0 United States Special Examiner Richard A. Mabey in the suit of Peter Power to prevent the merger of the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific railroad. After Mr. Perfdns had ueen sworn Lawyer Kellogg, representing the Northern Se curities Co.. interposed a formal ob jection to the inquiry on the ground that tit : . im.At.Al a q nA tni 111 was mcuui'ijeieuL, uiciciaui. i material and that the bill in equity states no ground for equitable relief and no cause of action and that no re - ; 15ef couId be bad affecting the Northern iSCnrities with0ut joining it as a "party. Mr. Perkins testified that it was Ills belief that J. P. Morgan & Co., togeth er with James J. Hill and that latter associates, held a clear majority of the common stock of the Northern Pacific prior to the organization of the North ern Securities Co. The common and preferred stocks of the Northern Pacific. Railroad which was purchased from the Union Pacific interests was turned over to the North ern Securities Co. two or three weeks after the organization of the last named company. "We paid to the Union Pacific inter ests eight or ten millions of dollars in cash," eaid (Mr. Perkins, "and we re ceived about the same amount of cash from the Northern Securities Co. Prior to our taking the Northern Pacific holdings from the Union Pacific people we had no agreement with the Northern Securities Co. regarding the disposition of this stock. The Union Pacific people asked us to negotiate the transfer or i this stock, and we did so. We almost ! failed in carrying the transaction through Had we been unable to com plete the negotiations the Union Pa cific interests would have had their Northern Pacific stock on their hands." Mr. 'Perkins said he did not know how much of the Northern Pacific stocks his firm held in the fall of 1901 and he was unable to tell whether or not J. P. Morgan & Co. sold eight or ten mil lions of dollars worth of the stock to James J. Hill last 'November or De cember. Personally he had nothing to do with the organization of the North ern Securities Co. Mr. Lancaster asked if Mr. Perkins could not find out just how much North ern Pacific stocks his firm had bought and held and the latter said that he would try. At this point Mr. Stetson suggested that the information required coiild be better obtained from Charles Steele of J. P. Morgan & Co., who is expecetd home from Philadelphia tomorrow. j Geo. Alfred Lamb of counsel for Peter; Powers arose and addressing Mr. -Perkins asked: "Cannot you give, us the name of the person who has charge of your firm i books?" While Mr. Perkins was shaking bis head rn the negative Mr. Stetson who is general counsel for J. P. Morgan & Co.; exclaimed: "He doesn't know any moro than I do and I have been con nected with this firm longer than he i has.

He made a pathetic allusion to one of the most-gratifying features' of the j caese by saying the character of Nell i Cropsey had been pronounced blame- - j lets that she was as pure as the driven s; snow on the hill top. Mr. Ward's -peroration was a plea for a just verdict. He said the daughters oe iorta Carolina must be protected. He asked the jury to inflict punishment on Nell Cropsey's assassin. He told them to bring a finding of which it night be raid by the good men of Pas- quotank county and the world, "Yours' is a righteous verdict; you did your duty like men." Mr. Ward spoke about two hours' and ahalf. The court announced that ; i; was not adjourning time, but when,' Mr. Aydlett said he would prefer not be- j ginning until after dinner, Judge Jones said a recess would be had. Display of Local Feeling One of the sensations- of the trial came this afternoon in concerted demon stration of the local feeling against Jim Wilcox and it was so pronouncecf that a blind man could read the meaning. When Lawyer Aydlett. leading defense counsel, arose to close the case there wfs caused much confusion among spec tators by their efforts to vacate the court room. Men and women arose to quit the building and the attorney was forced to pause in his plea. Judge Jones grew stern and his words caused many to halt.
