Daughter of France.
London, May 4.—The Times, in referring
to Mr. Lewis's motion in the House of Com-
mons to tafce notice of the Tim:s's charges
against Mr. Dillon, says: We are unable
to Eee why Mr. Lewis felt called npoa to
protest. We have no objection to the issue
being raised either in or out of Parliament.
Btill we can not help regretting that urgent
business should be delayed, even for a day,
by debates upon what we published in good
faith and with evidence confirmatory of
everything we advanced. While we shrink
from no form of inquiry, we do not think
the House would be well advised in dealing
with the question as one of privilege.
While not wishing to discuss the
merits of the controversy at the pres-
ent moment, we would say tint
no journal in the united kingdom, least of
all the organs of the Parnellites, would be
safe for a week if it were held inadmissable
to contradict any statement in the House,
even if the amplest proof be furnished at
the time in support of the contradiction. In
electing to challenge this decision the Par-
nellites have chosen curiously narrow
ground. They must be aware that state-
ments asserted as a breach of privilege
must be dealt with separately from other
matters that hitherto have been allowed to
remain untouched.
house ok commons.
Kight Hon. W. H. Smith, first lord of the
treatury, annouced in the House of Cjm
mons this afternoon that the government
had resolved that the allegation that the
statement by the London Times that Mr.
Dillon told a falsehood while denying in
the House o! Commons that paper's utter-
ances concerning his alleged relations with
Bheridac, the Iuvincible, was a breach of
privilege, was not sustained by precedent.
Continuing, Mr. Smith said it would be
against the dignity of the House to
summon the Times to the bar without
previously inquiring into the circum-
stances. . A gentleman belosv the gangway,
Mr. Smith added, asked that the selected
coxraittee be constituted to inquire forth-
with into the allegations of the Times, Tne
practice of the House has been to divest
itself, as far as possible, ot judicial duty.
The government, thought such a committee
as was asked for would be unfitted to coa
sider such grave questions as would hare
to be referred to it for decision. The gov-
ernment feeling it to be their duty to en-
deavor to solve the question had instructed
the attorney general and such others as he
cared to associate with him to prosecute
the Times for libel on Mr. Dillon, who wa,3
at liberty to select such counsel as he savv
fit. In conclusion Mr. Smith urged tie
House to accept the course proposed.
P. O'Conner condemned the govern-
ment's proposal. He said be comisserated
the government on the humiliating and da
grading position.. Their proposal was
really for collusive action at law made by
valor of libel. O'Conner here produce:! a
copy of the Times containing the libel on
Mr. Dillon, and flourishing it aloft he said:
"I purchased this copy of the Times at one of
the bookstalls owned by the honorable tirst
lord of the treasury. It is ha speaking for
the government who says no breaca of
■privilege was committed. [Irish cheers ]
He is therefore deeply interested as
a party in the case against the edi-
tor of the Times. The two men ought
to be in the dock together. Irish members
reject his proposal as unfair, unjust and
unprecedented. The House of Commons
ought not to be taken in by collusive ac-
tion."
Here Edwin J. L. P. De Lisle, conserva-
tive, arose to a point of order. He said he
had heard Mr. Charles Kearns De»ne Tan-
ner, home rule member for Middle Cark,
say "the conservatives were a damned lot
of cods." [Irish voices, "so youjare."]
Speaker Peel—The clerk of the House
•will Dleate see that the words are taken
down?
Mr. Tanner denied that he used the word
"damned." He repeated, however, that the
conservatives were a lot of cads.
The ppeaker said he must withdraw the
expression and apologize.
Tanner said he would do so.
Sir William Vernon Ilarcourt denouased
the government's proposals.
Sir Edward Clarke, solicitor-general,
moved an amendment to the government's
proposal, to the effect that the House did
not consider the Times's statements con-
cerning Mr. Dillon a breach of privile^o.
In justifying his action in offering tse
amendments. Sir Edward declared there
was no lecord of Parliament having com-
mitted a man to custody for breio'i o?
■privilege such as the action of the Tiaies
was now alleged to be. He added that he and
the attorney-general were responsible for
the advice on which the government hid
acted. He proposed to confine himself to
the legal points of the case regard-
less of party politics. He then quoted
precedents to show the House was no: ttie
proper tribunal to deal with such matters.
No corruption had been alleged of a neTi-
ber, nor liad any contempt of the House
been exhibited, such as had constituted an
cfiente in previous cases where a bre ich of
privilege had been committed. The c lurae
of the prosecution, the solicitor-gaieral
said, would be left to such persons as the
Irish members might nominate—both coun-
sel and solicitor. If the government were
asked to appoint them it would interpose
no objection. Iu conclusion Sir EI sard
slightly modified his amendment, nuking
it read tbat the House declines to treat tae
Times publication as a breach of priviloge.
the government unwilling.
It is generally thought that the result of
the government's decision in the Dillon
case will be that the Times will escape
prosecution. The opinion is based on the
known unwillingness of the government to
bring the Times to the bar of the House
and the declared opposition of the Irish
members to suing the Times in England.
why the government shrank.
The Daily News says the country will not
fail to note it was the government who
shrank from the'jinquiry last night. If, as
the debate would seem to indicate, they re-
fuse in spite of ail precedents to regard
the matter as a question of privilege it will
only be because they do not themselves be-
lieve the charges against the Parnellites
capable of such proof as will satisfy a com-
mittee of English gentlemen.
The Standard says: Whether Lewis was
well or ill advised in raising the question
we are strong of the opinion that it should
now be thoroughly investigated. Nothing
could happen in the committee on the
crimes bill that would be half so pertinent
to the fundamental issues as a distinct
clearirg up of the relations of the Parnell-
ites to the party of assassiuatiou and out-
rage. Hut the ordeal which Sexton and
Dillon have declared they are anxious to
face will be a farcical formality unless the
entire case against the Parnellites be gone
into. It will be the duty of the government
to see that the inquiry is an exhaustive one.
The Post hopes Lewis's motion will bo re-
jected, as Parliament's time is too precious
to waste in such discussion.
The Telegraph says: We can readily be-
lieve the proposal not altogethar a well-
come one to the government.
The Cabinet, discussing the matter, says:
Many proposed to refer it to a commission
of judges, which would be a Jiore effectual
plan then appointing a parliamentary com-
mittee of inquiry and would save ti n-j; be-
sides the satisfactory point is that tha Par-
nellites, for the first time, have invited a
searching investigation. By their present
course, however, the Parnellites expose
themselves to the charge of shirking aa in-
quiry before a British jury, yet waatever
the outcome it is to be hoped the charge
will be fairly faced and proved unfounded.
The Chronicle: There can be no doubt of
the blundering indiscretion of Lewis. It is
only fair to admit that no obligation rests
on Parnell or Dillon or anybody to bring
action against a man who has libeled
him. It is a matter only for each member's
private jndgment. If he thinks he is not
called upon to vindicate himself iu a court
of law he is entitled to demand that the
author or publisher of the libel shall be
Jieard at the bar of the House.

Nanaimo special says: Aterrible explosion
occurred in No. 1 shaft of the Victoria Coal
company's ,mine at C o'clock last night.
Ore hundred and fifty men are believed to
be in the mine. At midnight twelve bodies
had been recovered. Some were dead and
ethers seriously or fatally burned. There
is little hope of rescuing alive any of those
yet in the mine. A rescuing party went

unable to do anything. S. Hudson, one of
the rescuing party, died shortly after com-

negotiating for a duel.
St. Louis, Mo., May 4.—A special from
the City of Mexico says: In all higher cir-
cles at the capital little else is heard but
talk of the prospective duel in which the
Spanish minister is concerned. On Satur-
day night, at a ball at the Casino, the beau-
tiful daughter of ex-Marshal Bazaine of
France was escorted to supper by Senor
Barron. He was called from the side of
the young lady bj; Senor Noriega, who un-
dertook to chide him for showing too much
familiarity with Miss Bazaine. Bitter words
were exchanged and a scene was avoided
by the timely interference of friends. The
Spanish minister took up the quarrel as a
friend of the Bazaine family, on the ground
that his countryman had acted improperly
in dragging the name of the youag lady
into notoriety. Noreiga thereupon quar-
reled with the minister. Again blows were
prevented by bystanders. This was at 2
o'clock Sunday morning. Since then ne-
goti«tion%have been going on preliminary
to a due), while efforts are being made out-
side to hush it up.

REMAINS OF NEY EXHUMED
AT THIRD CREEK, N. C., BY PHYSICIANS
The Bones Were in Such a Decayed Condition
that All Evidence of Wounds or Tre-
phining Were Destroyed.
New York, May 4.—A special from
Third Creek (N. C.) says: Several promi-
nent physicians of the Salisbury section
Eome time since decided to exhume the re-
mains of Peter S. Ney from their grave
near this place for the purpose of ascer-
taining whether they are those of the
famous Marshal Ney of France, who com-
manded the Old guard at Waterloo.
Of all romances which have had their in-
ception in North Carolina this is one of the
greatest. In 1S16 Ney appeared in this
state. He was a singular man an I froai
the very first attracted attention, although
be used all possible means to avoM pub-
licity. He taught school in Iredell and
Rowan counties, and among hi3 pupils were
men who afterward became prominent.
Certain facts were ascertained about this
singular man which fixed the belief in tiie
neighborhood that he was really Marshal
liey in spite of the historical fact that Ney
was duly shot in Paris. For years tha mit-
ter has been discussed, not only here but ia
all parts of the country and abroad.
Dr. Lyman Draper, president of the Wis-
consin Historical society, has taken a deep
interest in the matter, and in the past two
years a great deal has been written on the
subject. At the special request of Dr.
Draper some of the most prominent phy-
sicians of Salisbury agreed to exhume the
body and to make a careful examination of
the skull. Marshal Ney's skull was tre-
phined, and if this skull was found to have
been similarly operated upon it would be
practically conclusive proof. Among the
pieces of evidence to aid the assertion made
by many here that Marshal Ney was this
schoolteacher was this:
A Frenchman from an adjoining county,
who had been a soldier under Marshal Ney
and afterward moved to America, was at a
public gathering in Stateville one day aud
recognized the school teacher as his old
commander. He threw up his hands and
exclaimed: "Mon Dieu! Marshal Ney."
With that demonstration Ney called his
name and with his right hand waved iiim
off, piaffing his index finger over his
mouth, indicating silence. Both men soon
left the crowd and were afterward seen in
private conference. Four days after the
battle of Waterloo, Marshal Ney, in a
speech before the Court of Peers,
advised a treaty of peace, and
there publicly announced his de-
termination to go to America,
thus showinghisattentionwas turned toward
this country. A gentleman who nursed Pe-
ter Ney and was with him at his death and
at his burial said yesterday Ney was per-
fectly conscious at the time: he talked about
his wife and children, and stated several
times while on his death-bed that he was
Marshal Ney, and repeated it not an hour
before his death. In dressing him tor
burial he found that Ney had been wound-
ed on the thigh, neck, side and wrist and
had a large scar like a saber cut on the
head.
After consultation yesterday was de-
cided upon for the exhumation. At an.
early hour the citizens of the surrounding
country and neighboring towns began to
come in, and soon a large crowd had gath-
ered around the quiet little country church.
In the assemblage were many of Ney's
pupils, they being old men now, their ages
ranging from 60 to 75 years.
At 1 o'clocK the physicians in charge an-
nounced that they bad no pecuniary inter-
est in the matter and that the exhumation
was merely in the interest of history.
When the grave was opened nothing was
found except a few of the largest bones,
some coffin nails and a small remnant of
one plank. The gentlemen in charge made
the following report:
"The undersigned physicians wish to
state that according to previous notice we
did to-day cause to be exhumed the re-
mains of Peter S. Ney in the presence of a
f reat many witnesses, some of them from
Vashington, D. C., Raleigh, N. C., and
other parts of the country. We found soma
of the bones only, and these in a state of
such decay that we can not state positively
whether the skull had ever been trepinaad
or not. We made a diligent search for the
bullets said to have been lodged iu the
body, but found none. We succeeded so
far, however, as to ascertain that the skel-
eton was about five feet and ten inches
loup and the skull around above the eyes
about twenty-four inches in circumfer-
ence."
This statement was signed by nino of the
most prominent physicians in this section.
The skull measured IX inches across the
forehead and S inches from a point ab3ve
the eyes to the rear of the head. The right
side was well preserved, but the left, where
the wound was, was crumbled. All the
bones were returned to the grave.
Let this day's work prove what it may it
will be a longtime before those straightfor-
ward and honest people can ba induced to
change their long cherished opinion that
their old teacher and friend was any other
than Marshal Ney.

blood. They are a source of great suffer-
ing, and are liable to appear in large
numbers, unless overcome by the use of
some powerful alterative. Ayer's Sarsa-
parila cures these painful tumors, and also
prevents them, by removing their «auso.

For some time past, until recently, my
blood was in a disordered condition. I
was covered from head to foot with small,
and very irritating, blotches. After using
three bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, I am
entirely cured. — C. Ogden, Camden, N. J.

were a source of much suffering. I com*

cured the Carbuncles, and has since kept
me entirely free from them; my appetite
has improved, and I am in better health
than ever before. — O. Snell, Lowell, Mass.
