EMPLOYERS AND WORKMEN BILL.

The Employers and Workmen Bill was read a third time
and passed.

AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS BILL.

The House then went into Committee on the Agricultural
Holdings Bill, and, nobody availing himself of the invitation
to raise another debate on the principle, .t'sie Committee
proceeded to consider the clauses. The first amendment
arose on Clause 8, when it was moved by Sir G. Jenkin-
son that the Bill shall not extend to any holding
In England and Wales in respect of which a written
agreement is in existence between the landlord and
his tenant at the date of the commencement of
this Act. Mr. Disraeli objected to the amendment that it
was not germane to the clause, and that it would be pre-
mature at present to pronounce an opinion on this question.
A long conversation ensued, in which the opinion was unani-
mously expressed that this was an inconvenient point at
which to raise the issue, but Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Henley, Sir
W. Barttelot, Sir R. Knightley, Sir H. Johnstone, Mr.
Rodwell, and others supported the principle of the clause,
and pressed Mr. Disraeli to give some intimation of the
views of the Government upon it.
Mr. Walter, who expressed his determination to supper
freedom of contract, pointed out that some written agree.
'limits might not contain conditions so favourable to the
tenant as this Bill laid down, and Mr. Henley, believing that
landlords and tenants did not desire to be meddled with,
supported the amendment because it would reduce the
interference to the smallest dimensions. Mr. Dis-
raeli declined at present to give what would be an
abstract opinion at this point, and Lord Hartington urged
that before the 46th Clause was reached the Government
should be prepared with information to show the effect of
Sir G. Jenkinson's amendment. Mr. Waddy proposed to
get over the difficulty by postponing all the clauses until
Clause 46, and he made a motion to the effect, which was
summarily negatived, and ultimately Sir G. Jenkinson with-
drew his amendment.

The rest of the sitting was occupied by a desultory dis-
cussion of the application of the word " improvements " in
Clause 5. Mr. Goldsmid took exception to the use of it in
the title of the clause, but it was ruled by the Chairman,
who was supported by Mr. Dodson, that no alteration could
be made in this part of the clause, which has no enacting
value. An amendment in the body of the clause was being
discussed when the hour for reporting progress arrived.
The Chelsea Bridge Bill passed through Committee, and
the Washington Treaty (Claims Distribution) Bill was read
a third time and passed.

At the Evening Sitting, Mr. Hubbard was bringing for-
ward his motion on Local and Imperial Taxation, when the
House was counted out.

DARING ATTEMPT to ROB the EXPRESS
CAR of a RAILWAY TRAIN.
The American Correspondent of The Times, writing from
Philadelphia, the 9th inst., says :

At midnight yesterday a daring attempt was made
to rob the express car of a railway train on the In-
dianapolis and Vandalia Railroad at Longpoint,
Illinois. The station is in a dense forest, and at mid-
night, when a passenger train bound east stopped
there, two men boarded the locomotive and compelled
the driver to start it. A dispute arose, when the men
shot the driver, killing him, and then took charge of
the engine themselves. The stoker, who had been
standing on the tank, ran to the rear along the train to
give the alarm as soon as he saw the dispute begin, and
the train had barely started when a confederate of the
robbers detached the train behind the express car, leav-
ing the passenger coaches standing on the line, while
the engine went on with the express car. After running
about two miles the car was stopped and the thieves
endeavoured to force an entrance. There were about
a dozen of them, but the express messenger barricaded
the doors and kept them out. They fired repeated
shots into the car, but could not strike him, the car
being very stoutly built and without windows so that
they had to fire their weapons at random. The alarm
having been given at the train which was left behind,
the train hands and passengers organised a party to go
to the-relief of the express messenger, their weapons
being two carbines and a pistol. At their approach the
thieves fled, and the messenger was relieved from his
bold defence of the impromptu fortress. The dead
body of the driver was found on the engine. To-day,
parties are scouring the neighbourhood for the thieves,
and have captured several suspected persons.

THE GOOD RESULTS OF IMPROVED

MACHINERY IN FARMING.

Referring to the recent Agricultural Show at Taunton, and
to the advantages which have accrued from improved farming
machinery, The Times, in a leader, writes :

It is to be expected that most people should see very
little more in an Agricultural Show than a grand com-
petition for profit, for display, for amusement, and for
honour. But it has aspects in these days which require
the light of history. What we have just seen at
Taunton, for example, is such a triumph over sinister
predictions and real difficulties as a generation ago was
thought impossible. 'We can no longer doubt, as we
compare the present with the very recent past, that
under wise guidance human affairs may safely be
trusted to right themselves, and that before very long.
That we have passed unscathed through very great
perils we have the testimony of successive Govern-
ments up to a generation ago, The truth is it hap-
pened with them as with other Governments more or
less enlightened. The best influences, the wisest
legislation, and the most beneficent acts have
always been thought perilous, if not certainly fatal, to
old-established Gotnruments and long fixed institu-
tions. For the vices and excesses of mankind states-
men have generally felt themselves a fair match.
Against confessed villainy and wickedness they can
assert the old laws, or, if need be, make new ones. It
is good men, good principles, good measures, founded
