Loxdox Aug. 20. An enormous crowd
congregated In tbo Palaco yard yesterday
afternoon to nwait tho arrival at the
Houso of Commons of Mr. Uladstone nnd
when tho Liberal lenitr finally camo ho
received nn ovation fit for a king. Nor did
tho enthusiastic greeting of tho grand old
man stop than. His entranco Into the
House wns tho signal for a burst ot cheer-
ing hand-clapping hat tossing and hand-
kerchlof waving that lasted for soveral
minutes. In marked contrail to tho rccop-
tlon ot Mr. Oladstono by the psople as-
sembled outsldo of tho Parliament House
was that accorded by tho iropulaco
to Lord Salisbury Lord Randolph
Churchill and Mr. Ooschen. As
each of theso gentlemen appeared In view
a storm ot groans boots aud hisses arose
and increased In volume until the objtct of
tho crowd's dotestatlon disappeared from
sight. The effect ot this exhibition of
populardisfavor upon Mr. Goichon In par-
tlculnr was unmistakably sevore and tho
spectacle of the Chancellor of tho Ex-
tncquor crying nnd shrinking before tho
howls Jeers and hisses of a representative
crowd of Englishman was extremely piti-
ful. The absenco ot Mr. John Mor-
lay from his seat was conspic-
uously noticeable and was tho causa
of much comment of varied character.
The Tories claim that his failure to re-
spond to tho Liberal whip signifies his
dlssont from tho recent tactics of tho En-
glish Liberals anont the National League
but this Is not tho causo. The purposo of
Mr. (lladstnno In moving against the
Government's proclamation Is raoroly to
place tho Lilteral party squarely upon rec-
ord as branding the action of tho minis-
try as oatrngoously unjust and unpro-
voked and this can be done thoroughly
without necessitating Mr. Mortey's short-
ening his vacation and hastening to Lon-
don. Hail Mr Morloy's voice or vote been
essential to tho success of Mr. Gladstone's
object ho most assuredly would havo
been In his seat last evening.
Tho soeno In tho Hoass when Mr. Glad-
stone arose to spoak was highly exciting.
Ho was tremendously cheered at the be-
ginning of his speech and vociferously
applauded at the end nnd tho howls and
cat-calls of tho younger Tories sank Into
Insignificance beneath tho weight ot tho
avalanche of approving cries. Mr. Glad-
stone wns in splendid form. His voico
rang out with all Its nccustomod clearness
and resonance and tho vigor of his ges-
tures betoken oxcellent health nnd intense
devotion to his cause. His utterances
attested the fixity of tbo Liberal position
and left nothing to be explained as to Its
full definition which summarized Is that
tho Liberal patty is nnallerably opposed
cd to the Government's pol.cy of coercion
In Ireland and equally determined to sup-
port the Parnellltes In defending the rights
or tbo National League.
Tho arguments of Mr. Uladstone nud
his followers as sot rorth In last night's
dbato wore to a great extent based upon
tho report of General 8lr Redrers Duller
under secretary for Ireland which was
exhaustively discussed at tho conference
cf Liberal members held yestorday. Pre-
suming that General Bailor's sources ot In-
formation ns to tho state ot Ireland were
ample and reliable and that his report em-
bodies the most damaging evidence
ngainst the National League thnt could be
secured the Liberals contend that by But-
ler's and consequently the government's
own showing tho ministry's proceeding
against tho Lcaguo was without warrant
in fact or suspicion.
The Cabinet council which was In ses-
sion two hours yesorday dovotod Its tlmo
to discussing the National Tragus ques-
tion and It Is understood without reach-
ing any other decision than the one ar-
rived at when tho council mot. Evidence
Is rapidly accumulating that the govern-
ment keenly feels the pecnliarly em-
barrassing position In which It Is placed.
It Is atrnid to go farther tors rd and
dare not go back. They were threatened
with the loss of popular support on the
ono hand and the wrath ot the Tory
squires on tho other.

cation for liclmnrliic In Ilia Matter ol

Waswisoton Aug. SO. Tho Northora
Pacific Itallroad Company by attorney hai
filed with Iho BocretMry of tho Interior nn
application for a rehearing In tbo matter
of tho revocation of tho onlors of with
drawal of its Indemnity lands so far is
thnt revocation applies to tho selections by
tho cempany already of record and to fu-
turo selections which It will hereafter havn
to make "In common with tho rest of the
world." Tho company takes exception to
tho rules laid down In tho decision referred
to restricting rao company's selections to
tbo Slate or Torrltory In which tbe losses
occur; nnd declaring there is no second
Indemnity belt and that tho company Is en-
titled to losses only for lands disposed ol
tlnco tho date of tho grant of July 2 1804.
The application saysi "It is conceded by
tho Department that under tho original
charter tho company would bo entitled to
select Indemnity for all lands lost prior to
tho definite location of tho rod without
limit of tlmo within which the losses must
havo occurred." But tho decision thon
proceeds to lay down that by Its charter
tho company was prohibited from Issuing
bonds or mortgage and was seeking to and
did havo such prohibition removed by tl a
passago of the Joint resolution of May 81
1870 and that thcro was reason why asking
a right denied Congress should then modify
the Indemnity proceedings. Hence in
asslngtho Joint resolution and thereby
granting tho right to lssuo bonds and mort-
gages tha granting power therein re-
stricted tha Indemnity to losses occurring
between tho data of tbo original act and
tha data ot the dcfinlto location und speci-
fied thnt the Indemnity selections should
bo restricted to tho particular Btatcs or
Territories In which tho losses might bo
sustained declaring that part of the deci-
sion which restricts Indemnity for losses
alter tbo passago or tho granting act rests
upon tho construction to bo placed upon
tho Joint resolution ot May 31 187a Tho
company dcslro to be heard upon that
question asserting that It can show con-
clusively that tha purposo ot tha resolution
was to give additional lands. Reference
Is made to Secretary Teller's decision of
May IP. UM In which a second Indemnity
belt wus recognized and In which tho com-
pany has selected under authority of that
decision some 372000 acres. With rcrer-
enco to that pact ot tho decision restricting
tbe company from m.Aj'pg indemnity selec-
tions other than In levitates or Territories
In which the losses error tho application
ngnln calls attention to this decision ot
Secretary Toller In which It Is held thnt "it
wns clearly tho Intention ot tho legislation
that within tho indemnity limits Hied by
tho Northern Pacific acts tho company
should have tho opportunity to tako lauds
aero tor ncro for all those tost In place."
This decision of Secretary Tellor is referred
to as confirming tho construction of tbo law
under which tho company has acted for
sixteen years.
Tho New Orleans Pacific Railway Com-
pany has also applied tor a rehearing upon
tbo ground that it has not had sufficient od-
portunlty to ciako Its selections. Tho Act-
ing Secretary will hear counsel for each of
theso roods iu support of their applica-
tions cither orally or by brief.

has fallen and tho Iniquitous convict lease
system of Georgia wilt havo to go. Dy ex-
ecutive order signed under great txcilo-
ment Governor Gordon has cntlcd on tho
lossees of penitentiary companies Nos. 3
c:'d to show cause why tho lease should
not bo aJnulled. Theso companies aro prin-
cipally formed of James W. Engli ill Wil-
liam U. Lowo and James W. Smith. Sev-
eral days ago tho Governor received an an-
onymous letter signed "Convicts" which
declared that the convicts wiiD bolng
whipped because tbey mado known the ex-
isting abucs and asked that the matter be
investigated. From the postmark- it was
ascertained that the letter camo rrom tho
camp under charge of C. C Blnghamton
tho Georgia Midland railroad. Principal
Keeper Towers at once went there btdtha
men called up In lino and stripped of cloth-
ing. Tho backs of four men wero found
to bo cut and bruised In a terrible man-
ner as though knives had been nsedto
open tho flesh. The Governor rend tho re-
port with Indignation and at once signed
an order dismissing Bingham from any
service In which tho State was Interested
and ordering the Solicitor-General to
prosecute him for his crimes. Actlvo steps
are being taken to protect the convicts
from the less oes and It Is said that Princi-
pal Keeper Towors took personal charge of
camp No. 2. The suppressed report of
Prison Physician Westmoreland which
was mado to Governor McDonald In 1883
and which the Governor would not allow to
bo mado public was yesterday given to tbo

trlmo and will help the demand-for tho
abolishment of the Icaso system. 'There is
no doubt as to the Governor's Intention to
dcclaro the leaso annulled owing to tho
violation of Its provisions by the lessees.
The lessees are moving heaven and earth
to avert the blow which Is falling upon
them but the Governor Is determined in
his course backed by tbo public opinion of
the State and Indorsed by the personal as-
surances ot members ot the Legislature.
