LONDON, April 29-Evening. The proceed
lngs In the House of Commons this evening
were unusually interesting.
hlght Hon. Chichester Fortescue, the Chief
Secretary for Ireland in reply to question of
Lord Manners, said he deplored the recent out
RACES in Cork and Londonderry. Every en-
deavor had been made by the government to
suppress the riotous proceedings and the peace
preservation act had been fully enforced. He
also stated that further explanations at this
time were impolitic
John Arthur Otway, the member for Chat
ham, denied the authenticity of the telegram
purporting to have been received from Sir
Rutherford Alcock, the British Minister to
CHINA, that the Chinese government and peo-
pie were opposed to progress.
The Irish church bill then came up.
After short debate, Mr.. Disraeli moved an
amendment to give the glebe houses to the
church. The proposition was rejected, as fol-
lows: For the amendment, 227; against it, 31S
majority for the government, 91
During the discussion the OConner Don
stated that the trustees of Weymouth College
were willing to put that building up for sale if
the same could be done with the globes of the
church.
Sir Frederick William Neigates, member for
Londonderry, moved to retain the royal and
other grants made since the second year of the
reign of Queen Elizabeth.
The motion was negatived by a vote of 2S3 to

GENEVA, April BIT is rumored to-day that
the Swiss government has requested Joseph

government to make such a request of Swift

1nE OlSClfLE5 OF CAREY In COUNCIL.
PHILADELPHIA, April pa meeting was
held to-day at the Board Of Trade Rooms. in
favor OF protection to American industry,
called at the instance of the PENNSYLVANIA In
dustrial League. Morton McMichael presided
The report of the League was read. Among
other things it states that Waylands Political
Economy, which advocates free trade, was
generally read in colleges. This was contro-
'verted by Mr.. Frahy, who stated that Carey's
book was the text book in the PENNSYLVANIA
University. A series of resolutions were
| adopted, which are to be presented by a COM
mlttee consisting of Morton McMichael. JOS.
Wharton, I'll. G. Carey and Joseph Sellers to
the Congressional Committee Of Ways and
Means. The resolutions recommend the policy
icy of firm and steady protection to American
Industry being distinctly announced; gem
seral tariff law should be framed, embracing the
Sentire range of imported goods, superseding all
former tariff laws, the duties being made spe-
cifc SO far as conveniently possible, and high
enough to afford fair wages and reasonable
profits to such American Workmen and EN- !.
ployees as apply themselves with assiduity,
skill and intelligence to duties suited to our
conditions and resources; the schedule pre-
pared by the Pennsylvania Industry League,
which is founded mainly upon the legislation
OF both Houses of Congress and upon the re-
port of the Commissioner of Revenue, and
which, while largely increasing the free list
and converting numerous ad valOrem into spe-
cific duties reduces the rate upon many arti-
cles and proposes but moderate increase ir
any case, IS worthy of attention as a serious
effort by competent persons to frame a sym.
metrical system of duties on imports
