THE TAY BRIDGE.


LONDON, July 5.-The Tay bridge commits
sion presented two reports. The majority
report oensures more or less severely the
contractors, engineers and North British
railroad company. The design of the bridge
is condemned and the company charged
with negligence to keep it in proper repair.
Although the construction of the bridge was
faulty, the commission believe it might
have weathered the storm and lasted for
years had it been kept in thorough repair.
The minority report arrives at substantially
the same conclusion, bat differs on matters
of detail.
IRISH RELIEF.
LONDON, July Sin the house of COM
mons, tonight, debate on Forster's Irish re-
lief bill was resumed. Lord Churchill said
he had exceptional means of information and
said he had no hesitation in saying that the
distress did not warrant the bill. The dis
| tress might be great but there was also much
| fraud and imposture. Gladstone said the
greater part of the opposition to the bill was
revival of the smouldering hostility to the
land act. The bill must be Judged from the
standpoint of the land act which created for
the tenant an interest in the land and i'm
proved the value of the land though it inter-
fered with property. Evictions, he said, were
Iamentably increasing, and it was necessary
to employ large number of police to enforce
process. & Such state of things, nearly ap-
preached the danger of civil war, it was
therefore necessary to take measures to pre-
vent serious crisis. The best means to
combat the anti-rent agitation was to re-
move the justification for agitation. Chap
Inns amendment to reject the bill was do
feated by q vote of 295 to 217 and the bill
was read second time without division.
INDIAN DEFICIT.
LONDON, July 5.-In the House of Com
mons to-day the Marquis of Harrington
made statement that full information had
been received concerning Indian finances.
The excess of war expenditures over esti-
mates is now ascertained to be $4,000, 600,
the greatee part of which was disbursed be-
fore the 31st of March, although not brought
forward in the accounts. The deficit to be
met in the year 1sSO-S1, is e3,307,000.

The answers returned by the supreme court
OF Maine TO the questions propounded by Gov
Garcelon will be very generally received as the
true Interpretation OF the constitution and the
laws, and 1T will not do for politicians to set
their Judgment up against that of the supreme
court. There are advisers of Gov. Garcelon
who are urging him to ignore the court, as its
answers were mere Opinions" not binding un-
less willing obedience Is rendered The men
who counsel thus are not dlSintereSted advisers.
They have something at stake, ana therefore
their opinions upon the merits of the case will
have but little weight with the public generally
Gov. Garcelon has been credited throughout, by
majority of his fellow-citizens, with honest
upright motives, and his reference of the dispu-
ted questions to the supreme court confirmed
this good opinion Of him. Now, should he, be-
cause the opinions Of the court are adverse to
his construction of the laws, refuse to be bound
by the tribunal to which he agreed as arbiter,
1t will be difficult for even his warmest friends
to defend his conduct. He referred the ques-
lions to the court In opposition to the wishes of
his immediate advisers, and he will no doubt de-
termine his course now, without regard to those
gentlemen. At all events, a willingness to set
tie the controversy by legal mems, has been
manifested and talk of violence Is no longer
heard This much is matter for public con-
graduation.

Mr.. Parnell, in the course of his speech at
Madison Square garden, in New York city, last
night said: 1.-The American nation has, by
common consent, been made the arbitrator in
this great struggle for the land OF Ireland
The American people, In this, like the Su-
preme Court of Maine in the political dispute
there, have no power to enforce their judgment,
but 1t Is none the less potent 1t is an illustra-
ton Of the high position this republic occupies
In the estimation of the people OF Europe. The
Irish tenants first appealed to American senti-
ment, because they knew that In this free coun-
try there is always sympathy for the oppressed
when the existence of oppression is established.
Then the aristocratic landlords, through the
columns OF the New York Herald, laid their case
before our people knowing that justice would be
done them. The landlords had nothing to fear
froxl an adverse American sentiment, but it's
moral influence Is strong enough, even in
Europe TO induce them to dread 1t, and hence
they put In their plea. Only the voice OF self
governed and entirely free people could have
such power.

There has been good deal OF curiosity mani.
tested in regard to the conference or convention
OF the national-greenback-labo party" called
to meet in Washington next Thursday. After
the fall elections, the most astute politicians
could not discover anything for that party
to hang single hope upon for the future. and
hence the speculation as to the object of a ina
lonal convention Dennis Kearney, who speaks
as president of the national workingmen's
union and delegate TO the Washington conven-
tlon OF the n.-g.-L party, seems to have let the
cat out OF the bag. He says that If there Is a
bolt" In the national democratic convention on
the financial question the nationals and the
workingmen intend to take charge of the soft
money faction and run Presidential ticket
with It, MIR. kearney has not enlightened the
public as TO what his party will do In the event
that no bolt shall occur at the democratic con-
yention.

a long session, Doubtless.

Congress VIII reaSSemble tomorrow after q
two weeks holiday recess, and. though few,
here and there. have talked of an early adjourn
ment. the prevailing opinion Is that the session
will last until some time in June. The House
has shown a disposition to hurry along the ap-
preparation bills, and even If the Senate should
be moved by the same spirit, 1t will not signify
short session. In the first place, this Is what
Is termed a new Congress- That Is. 1t is
largely made up OF men who have not served
before. All these new members, as we'll as the
old ones, desire reelection. and every one of
them, perhaps has some pet measure, or may
be dozen, the passage OF which will add to
his strength and popularity in his district.
Before another session shall convene the con-
greSSional elections will have been held, and
therefore these bills must be acted upon
at this session In order to assist the
sitting member to another term. 1t is true
the new members had the advantage of an
extra session, but the political questions then
before Congress monOpoliZed its attention, to
the exclusion OF general and special legislation.
Since the organization of the present Congress
many hundreds OF bills have been introduced
but not twenty of them in all have yet been
acted upon. To say that Congress will adopt
the plan attributed TO Speaker Randall, Of
passing appropriation bills and forthwith ad-
journing, is to suppose that the members intend
respectively, have entrusted to them, to an idea
that the party might be benefited by a "short
session" If any one can suppose such thing
he can learn better by conversng with few of
the members as to what they intend to do with
their special bills. Each member will answer
that while he is willing TO defer to the interests
OF party, his first duty is to his constituents,
and that he means to serve them first. Then
besides the unusually large number of bills
pending, there Is the financial question, which
will lead to a discussion Of some length in
the Senate, II not in the House. too. Some Of
the Senators have devoted their holiday recess
to the preparation Of speeches upon the subject
of finance, and they expect to deliver them be-
fore many days. There are other bills, too
that Will have to be debated For instance
Representative TownShend, Of Illinois, says
that he intends to press his bill regulating the
transfer of causes from state to federal courts
over which there was such contest in the
House during the extra session. This became
party measure, the democrats urging it and
the republicans opposing it, and there has been
no change in sentiment upon the proprety of
the bill. Congress will scarcely adjourn before
June.

The New York World whose democracy Is of
