Vain Attempt to Compromise.
| Stormy Cabinet Session.
Popular Excitement ON the increase.
NEW YORK, July %.
The Herald's special dated London,
July 21st, says that the Cabinet Coun.
Gil this afternoon was unusually pro-
tracted, and did not break up until a
late hour. No definite result was ar
rived at. The final decision and full
course ofthe ministrywas reserved until
to. morrow when another meeting will
that the Government will make an
offer for compromise before 1t resorts
to extreme measures, by the withdrawal
OF the bill. Lords Clarendon, Granville
and others, It is said, made earnest ap-
pealsEor moderation urging the extreme
danger of giving the reins to the revo-
| lutionary sentiment of the masses at
the present moment. Notwithstanding
the hesitation OF the ministry, conflict
between the Peers and people Is inevi-
table. The crisis will be delayed only
from a knowledge of the momentous
character of the undertaking. 1t
Is rumored that disruption of the
cabinet may ensue.
A midnight Herald special says the
die is cast and the struggle begun.
The Lords and country finally came
to an issue in consequence OF the abb
rupt termination OF the debate last
night. Intense excitement prevailed
among the political circles during the
day. The Cabinet has been in session
all afternoon, and reports are afloat
that great dissension exists Ia the
Council. Gladstone, Bright Lowe, and
all the strong members insist on the
immediate withdrawal OF the Irish
Church Bill. on the ground OF the obstin
ate resistance OF the Peers to princi-
pies which renders a direct conflict be-
tween the two Houses of Parliament
inevitable. Some members of heCabinet
Lord Clarendon among the number,
advocated more moderate pr oceeding,
such as letting the bill take its course
and only abandoning it at the last mo-
ment. Insulting language was used
by Salisbury towards Gladstone.
The large majority cast against the
preamble shows that all attempts to
effect compromise are useless. There
is little doubt that Gladstone will carry
his point of withdrawing the bill i'm
mediately. This will be followed by
speedy adjournment. calling another
session in August, and creating large |
batch OF new Peers sufficient in num-
ber to overcome the present Tory ma
jority.
Placards have been posted on the
walls to-day headed: "Shall the People
or the Lords rule ?" and calling q mass
meeting at Arundel Hall for to morrow.
This will be followed by a monster
open air demonstration.
Rumors are afoat that the Duke of
Cambridge openly expressed his indig-
nation at the radicalism shown by the
Ministry, and he hopes the Queen will
refuse to sanction rcion..of the Peers.
The present crisis promises to open
the ball to sweeping reforms in En-
gland, commencing with the virtual
destruction of hereditary legislation.
Dreadful COIIIery Explosion.
LONDON, July %.
Tho Times says the Ministry are re-
solved to preserve the Irish Church bill
in spite ola majority against Il in the
House of Lords. The conclusion Is the
differences between the Houses In re-
spect to the preamble and 6Sth clause
do not offer an insuperAble obstacle to
the passage of the bill.
The Howard Crew at Putney, have
declined the challenge OF the London
club. rv--rs
Another dreadful colllery explosion
occurred yesterday at st. HelenB. a
small place few miles east of Liver-
pool. Over thirty persons were killed |
outright and 60 injured. That whole !
section of the country is in mourning. !
The ThundeFer ON IreIAad and the !
Church Bill.
..,.r. -, LONDON, July %.
The Times, alluding to the recent |
agrarian outrages in Ireland, says:
"Centurles of mlsrule have planted |
pervsrse views in the Irish PEASANTS |
breast, which must disappear under be- |
nificent and enlightened legislation. |
For this reason we trust in such meas |
ures of justice as the Irish Church bill,
which should not be left unsettled q |
moment longer than can be avoided. |
Until it is settled there is little hope of
tranquility In Ireland and the gravest |
results are to be apprehended from tenn.
porary postponement. Heavy indeed |
is the responsibility OF those who have
power 10 rescue the measure from de-
lay" ..a. -t r' !
