London, July 28.—Every Inch of spac was occupied In the house of commons when Mr. Smith rose to open the debate on the royal grants. When he had finally moved the adoption of the report of the special committee on royal grants he was questioned by the opposition as to the present condition ol the queen's finances. They demanded tc know what savings she bad made out of the allowances already made for the support oi the royal family. Mr. Smith declined to reply to these questions. It was not the duty of the sovereign, he said, to provide for the royal family. The government could not believe that their existed any important olasi among the loyal people of the British empire who grudged to. royalty the very moderate provision necessary to maintain its dignity. New Yobk, July SM.—"I» Mary Anderson InnBtr N«W Yohk, July 38.—The embarrassment of ths large drD foods commission house of Lewis Bros. & Co., of No. 88 Worth street, Uew York; Philadelphia, Chicago and- Boston, caused great astonishment in dry goods oircles. The house is principally a Philadelphia conoorn, its headquarters being there at 388 Chestnut street, the stores in the other cities being branches. The house has done a business as high as $15,000,000 a year, but of late year* it is said to have fallen oif to $8,000,000 or $10,000,000. They claimed a capital of about $1,600,000 and that they had made money every year. Since the beginning of this year there has been considerable inquiry regarding the financial condition of the firm, and in March lost Bradatreet's took away their capital rating and reduced their credltxating a grade lower from the highest which* he firm had heretofore held. The firm filed a general assignment at 2 p. m. in this city and Philadelphia to Cornelius N. Bliss, of Bliss, Fabyan & Co. Mr. Bliss said, as far as he knew, the firm's statements in the past sixty days showed a surplus of over $1,000,000, but that was not available now. A large part of It was locked up in accounts. He thought the assets would make a very fair showing. This question was discussed with bated breathe in the new Rial to at Thirtieth street and Broadway, where the actors were eoni gregated. The report had originated from * remark of Edward Michael, an agent of J. W. Piggott, who has just sold a play to Nat Goodwin and crowed the ocean to coqpummate the details of the transaction. Mr. Michael is an Englishman of a pronounced type, and he fairly shivered with excitement as hC delivered the following statement: ▲t Philadelphia- Athletic  Cincinnati  Association. are urgently requested to do their shopping in the daytime..0 0001 0 SOS—« 4 0 0 0 8 0 8 1 x—10 The question of woman suffrage cams op 'iext and also excited much interest The galleries were filled with ladies.

The late Henry Lewis had a large interest in the Cambria iron works at Johnstown, which his estate, it was said, continued to hold, aud the lo6s by the flood had depreciated these securities. The Johnstown Manufacturing company, Wood vale woolen mills, also consigned their product to Lewis Bros. & Co. This mill was destroyed by tbe flood, involving a loss of $300,000.

All btlt Coughlin replied, "I am," and after a little discission of the case the prisoners were taken out of the court by the sheriff, under orders from Judge Horton to briug them before him again at 10 a. m. Judge Longenecker's object in having the prisoners arraigned was to prevent them from claiming tbe protection of the statute, which holds that in criminal cases the state must be ready for trial at the second term after an indictment is returned- OF  Where the Limit Came.

The country ought not to be asked to submit to the burden of support for an inundation of innumerable grandchildren. If it ware found that the present wasteful extravagance on the part of the royal family wpjild neec) to be kept in bounds in the absenpe of further allowances, he should hardly oonaider this a calamity.
