LONDON
London, March 2. In the House of Com
mons this evening" Mr.. Patten, conserva-
tive member from North Lancashire, resumed
the debate during the Irish question. He
urged the withdrawal of the motion of the
Committee to devise further measures, and
to grant greater powers to enable the Gov
eminent to effectually repress the mischief of
secret combinations in Ireland, and particu-
larly in Westmeath county, and return to the
policy OF authorizing the government to sus-
pend the writ of habeas corpus in cases of
necessity. He said the government had by
its motion, confessed failure of its Irish
policy.
Mr.. Gladstone in reply objected to the
course suggested by Mr.. Patten which he
said were based on the exaggerated state
ments of Goschen. In the course Of further
discussion, and in reply to some remarks of
Disraeli, he said he said he was quite willing
to see the gentlemen exult over the supposed
superiority of the Tory policy, which was
simply that of conquest.
Mr.. Gladstone concluded by warm appeal
for the adoption of the motion before the
House. The premier was evidently ill and
exhibtated signs of anxiety.
Sir Robert Peel and others followed in A
vigorous attack upon the government, as
sorting that it was the action and not the in
vestigation that was wanted, the action which
the opposition would gladly back to check
the dissatisfaction intamed from America
The solicitor general sought to interfere and
denounced the ingratitude shown to leader
who had insured the passage of so many
important measures without even before in
curing the denunciation of the feeble minded
Tory. He compared Disraeli to Shakspeare's
lean apothecary, whose poverty and not his
will drove him to such resources.
Mr.. Mcguire at this point moved an adjourn
ment of the debate, but Disraeli and Glad
stone both protested and defeated the mo-
ton. An adjournment of the House was
also defeated amid great excitement, and a
motion for select committee was adopted by
81 majority.
The proffer of Englands mediation has
been accepted by the parties in dispute be-
tween Egypt and Spain.
The Germans will evacuate Paris to-day
and Prince Frederick Charles retires imme-
diately behind the Seine.
The Emperor and Crown Prince will leave
in few days for Ferrieras or some other
point near Paris on the right bank of the

The following strange divorce story is told
by a correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing from St. Louis, Feb. I'd: s.In
1910, Britton A. Hill, a prominent LAWYER
here, and his wife, on joint petition. were
divorced by act of the Legislature In 1850,
theslady was married to ID. Roberts Barclay
with whom she has since lived The proper-
ty which was allowed her by the Legislature
is now worth nearly a million. In 1857, Hill
married again, and during the war Mrs. Hill
went to Europe, and in consequence of some
misconduct while there, her husband sued
for divorce. Subsequently she was re-
ported drowned, which proved false. After
ward she became attached is the household of
King Victor Emanuel, and some months ago
died, and Hills suit for divorce was dismissed
some time last year. The trustees of Mrs.
Barclay, Hills first wife. brought suit to COM
pei Samuel Simmons to purchase, piece of
property, according to agreement He re-
fused, Or the ground that the divorce granted
by the Legislature was illegal, sad clear
title to the property could not be given. The
question was taken to the Supreme, Court
which decided against the Legislature, and
yesterday, to obvate all difficulties, Hill ap-
piled to the Circuit Court for divorce from
the wife with whom he has not lived for over
80 years, and who has been married to an.
other man for l6 years. The decree was
granted, and under the law of the State the
children by both marriages are made 1egiti-
mate, and all ends well. The case is full of
romantic details and strange circumstances"

We are pleased to speak of the success of
the Chase Brothers, nurserymen (Maine boys)
who have been in the business of supplying
fruit trees, &C., from their nursery in Roches-
ter, N. Y, for many years. Their sales for
the last season amounted to $lS5,000 in
Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Yer
mont, Nova Scotia, and the Provinces. They
are probably the largest tree and shrub deal
ers in the country, and deserve the success
that they are obtaining from the fact that they
sell trees to grow, and not to die.

one Day last week, for the purpose of being
married. After making the proper arrange.
